Courtesy Rolling Stone Magazine Glenn Frey is certainly most famous for being a founding member of California rock group The Eagles, but his career started long before that, and continues long after. When Frey was a teenager in Detroit, he played with a number of groups and worked with a number of musicians including Bob Seger. In fact Frey played guitar on Seger’s Ramblin Gamblin Man in 1968. His influence and friendship would be a lifelong part of Glenn Frey’s life. In ’68 Frey’s Girlfriend, also a musician, moved to California and Frey soon followed. There he met J.D. Souther, and Jackson Browne (they all lived in the same building). Eventually through these connections he met up with Don Henley and the Eagles were born. ....
A hot, rocky âsuper Earth,â near one of the oldest stars in the galaxy has taken a team of planet-hunting scientists by surprise. The planet is about 50 percent larger than Earth but requires less than half a day to orbit its star. âFor every day youâre on Earth, this planet orbits its star twice,â said UC Riverside planetary astrophysicist and team member Stephen Kane. Part of the reason for the short orbit is the planetâs proximity to its star, which also creates incredible heat. Its estimated average surface temperature is over 2,000 degrees Kelvinâmuch too toasty to host life as we know it today, though it may once have been possible. In addition, Kane said that although the planet has roughly three times the mass of Earth, the team calculated its density to be the same as our planet. âThis is surprising because youâd expect the density to be higher,â Kane said. âThis is consistent with the notion that the planet is extrem ....
Born on the Isle of Mann, and raised in Manchester, the Gibb Brothers, Barry. Robin and Maurice, took to music quickly. They performed as a skiffle group called The Rattle Snakes, before their family emigrated to Queensland Australia in the late 50’s. It was in Australia they would finally gain success as a recording act.
The name they were most famous for, was not BG as in Brothers Gibb as often assumed, but was BG, as in the initials of Barry Gibb, Race Car Driver and Track Promoter Bill Goode, and DJ/presenter Bill Gates who got them a gig at a local race track. Eventually BGs became Bee Gees. They released a number of singles, had numerous TV appearances, and scored their first #1 with “Spicks and Specks” in 1964. The group wrote all their own hits, and Barry also wrote a significant number of songs for other artists in Australia, and eventually around the world. ....
Parksville, BC, Canada / The Lounge 99.9 Mar 5, 2021 1:55 PM Tucked into a suburban Chicago train station may appear to be an unassuming coffee shop. But whatâs going on behind the scenes is much more than just your average cup of Joe. For the seventh year in a row the shopâs owner Pilot Pete, a.k.a. Peter Thomas, has been the driving force behind âCoffee With a Purposeâ, an annual community initiative that collects and distributes coats and other necessities to help the local homeless population brave the harsh Midwest winters. Thomas says the idea came to him when he was trying to find a way to give back to the community as well as get others involved. He admits he was initially unprepared for the positive avalanche of responses. In the weeks prior to Christmas in the driveâs first year, he and other volunteers took in 3,000 coats. This year, for drive number seven, Thomas and crew helmed the Coffee With a Purpose command center from the back of ....
