Bruce Springsteen is coming out with a children’s book, called Outlaw Pete. Based on his song by the same name. The book comes out November 4th. Here is the song, for you to get an idea of what you might rad to your kids, but I’m not sure the content is children material, but you can do your own parenting.

Just an FYI if you are going to see ZZ Top and Jeff Beck in the next few weeks. ZZ Top has canceled some dates due to Dusty Hill slipping and falling and hurting himself. But on some of these dates, Jeff Beck will still play, even though ZZ Top isn’t. Check your local listings, in case you want a refund.
In case you ordered the Alter Bridge Box Set and have been waiting for it patiently. They finally began to ship it. You can hear all about it in this video they released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw-HgeVhqc0
Random thought this week, I don’t really care what any rock star says about another rock star, because in most cases things are taken out of context. This week has had Ace Frehley, slamming Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, Ted Nugent calling out Sebastian Bach, Mike Portnoy on Dream Theater, Geoff Tate vs Queensryche, Dave Lombardo and Slayer, Skid Row and former members and sadly Tommy Lee calling the town of Allentown concert goers absent. Who cares? Get back to the music.
Slipknot’s new album .5: The Gray Chapter will be out on October 21st. The album title is an obvious reference to their former bassist who passed away from a morphine overdose. They released a new song this week called The Devil In I. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wKw3oGb9-g
