The Palace of Auburn Hills is shut down. In fact, it is being destroyed as I type these very words. The Detroit Pistons won three championships playing at the Palace, but they have moved downtown to join the Detroit Red Wings at the shiny and new Little Caesar’s Arena. Many of the staffers here at […]
Jess Poxson has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the broadcast journalism profession. She’s been on the air in Metro Detroit for years. Her stops include some of the biggest stations in the city. She’s even had her own midday show – The Jess Show – even after being told that women don’t […]
John Dolmayan – These Grey Men A conversation with John Dolmayan can get pretty deep. It’s partly because he’s one of the most up front, no nonsense type of people that I’ve ever interviewed. And he sugar coats nothing. The reason I tell you this is because when John says something – you can pretty […]
WWE ran Smackdown at the Performance Center in front of no audience due to the Coronavirus on Friday night.

After the great success of Toy Story, Pixar was anxious to prove that it wasn’t a one picture fluke. From music to cinema, there are plenty of one hit wonders and the studio understandably didn’t want to be come another member of that club. Also raising the stakes was that the animation landscape had changed. […]
The Outfit, rocks. Seriously. These guys out of Chicago are making rock and roll the old fashioned way. Straight forward rock songs with no tricks. Just super hooky guitars, melodic bass lines, acoustic drums and vocals that soar right off of the record. For guys making music by the old way of doing things, they […]
Grace VanderWaal – Today and Tomorrow Grace VanderWaal continues to shine and amaze. This time around it wasn’t the production or slick beats that had me drawn into the song. It was a simple ukulele and her breathy and almost haunting voice that captured my attention. It’s nearly hard to believe but she seems to […]
Picture this. One of your guitar heroes is in your town and is playing a massive show. You send off a press kit, not knowing if will even get to that person. Well, it does and you get a call to meet him at the venue for soundcheck. You jam for a while and even […]
