I didn’t know what I wanted to do…” Even though Eric Carmen wrote those words, they were telling Shaun Cassidy’s story. They opened the song “That’s Rock and Roll” which is one of a few songs which Cassidy rode to the top of the charts in the late 1970s. In fact, when Shaun C

In my review of that show, I closed out with the line: “Seeing 10cc live was a bucket list experience which was worth the wait. Let’s just hope they don’t take another 46 years to come back.” Turns out we didn’t have to wait again. Just over a year lat

My Chemical Romance My Chemical Romance & Alice Cooper – Citizen Bank Park – Philadelphia, PA – August 15, 2025 Rock will never die, or in this case we could say that alt rock will never die, either.
