George Thorogood keeps the blues rockin' hard

It doesn't matter that George Thorogood and the Destroyers have never cracked the Top 10. Their rock-blues-boogie is instantly recognizable, whether the first sound you hear is the purposely distorted buzz of Thorogood's big Gibson guitar or the nasty, raspy growl of his voice.

Peter Chianca: A very telling 'Story of Star Wars'

If someday, many years in the future, I look back and try to pinpoint the exact moment when I first began my inevitable crawl toward creaky obsolescence, my mind will probably land on that time I spent $15 on a used vinyl copy of the 1977 LP "The Story of Star Wars." This is something I did last week -- even though, like many men in their 40s, the story of Star Wars is already indelibly imprinted on my brain, somewhere alongside the 30-year-old "Weird Al" lyrics and the entire Pinky Tuscadero story arc from "Happy Days." I should start by explaining that "The Story of Star Wars" was an album that truncated the story of the movie -- complete with dialogue, sound effects and portentous narration by Roscoe Lee Browne -- down to two sides of an LP record. I of course had this record, because the three times I had seen "Star Wars" in the theater had proven woefully inadequate in their ability to fulfill my life's goal, which was to experience "Star Wars" as often as possible every day until the universe ended in a spectacular, Death Star-like exploding fireball. If you were a 8-year-old boy in 1977 you know exactly what I'm talking about, and if you weren't you are now probably backing away slooooowly.
