Number One…….. Masters Of War – Bob Dylan More Protest? >>> 5 4 3 2 1 Authored by Dale Nickey: Some Anti-war songs implore the clueless youth to stop getting sucked in and lay down their rifles and go home. Other songs just decry the madness of it all. But here, Dylan goes straight for…

CD REVIEW – Mark Mansfield “It Happened One Evening”
Reviewed by: Dale Nickey This is Mark Mansfield’s second solo release and is the finest album in his canon, which includes his under-appreciated and poorly promoted solo debut “Love’s Final Round”.

COUNTDOWN TO OBLIVION – Top Five Greatest ANTI-WAR Songs – # 4
The Call Up – (The Clash) Authored by Dale Nickey: Great thing about The Clash; they could get as loud and abrasive as you wanted. But, they could also sheath their upraised fists in a velvet glove when the song required. The “Call Up” (a British euphemism for ‘the draft’) is just such a song.…

Coundown To Oblivion – Top Five Anti-War Songs…….# 5
I Ain’t Marchin’ Anymore- Phil Ochs Authored by Dale Nickey: Phil Ochs died a broken man. A handsome, earnest semi-talent who had the misfortune of plying his ’young man with a message’ trade at a time when Bob Dylan was plowing exactly the same furrow with seismic results. Ochs eventually lost his voice, his muse, his mind and succumbed…

Pathetic Prog Time Capsule – Yes at Mandalay Bay 4/21/04 (Originally published in “Notes From The Edge” 6/4/04)
Mandelay Bay, Las Vegas 4/21/04 By Dale Nickey: Another year, another Yes incarnation. One of the few bands from ’60s that has all members and alumni alive and in remarkably good health. Not by luck, but testimony to the mysterious force Karma, because Yes music was and remains stubbornly and unfashionably positive and spiritually nourishing…

PATHETIC PROG TIME CAPSULE – YES at The Forum (Los Angeles 1984)
THE FORUM LOS ANGELES – March 26, 1984 Authored by Dale Nickey: I can bear witness to the re-birth. I woke up one early morning in a half conscious state to what I thought was the voice of Jon Anderson. Impossible, since the station I was tuned into only played contemporary pop. However, incredibly, this was…

TAG TEAMS – TOP FIVE SINGER/GUITAR PLAYER HOOKUPS
The Stones, Guns & Roses, Zep, The Who. Great BANDS right? What makes a great Rock And Roll band anyway? It ain’t that hard to figure. A great rhythm section is the slab foundation. Then you need the brick and mortar. That comes down to a charismatic lead singer and a gunslinger guitarist; and in…
