Tuesday Rock Roundup 1010

Phil Collins has become the first member of Genesis to announce that the group is reuniting. He told a Las Vegas Newspaper "I put my hand on my heart here -- I don't know what we're doing. I know we're going to get together to do some playing around, just to see how it feels." Hopefully he'll be careful in that process, because it's the same way I ended up engaged to be married when I was 21...

A source close to the Bob Dylan song inspired musical The Times They Are a Changin' tells FOX News that it could lose up to 10-million dollars by the time it opens on Broadway on October 26th.

Joe Walsh says he'd like to carry on with The James Gang now that their reunion tour is over, but the Eagles take precedence over anything he might do with the Gang. Walsh says that it's pretty much a sure thing that there will be an Eagles album next year, and that a James Gang D-V-D is also a possibility.

Jon Bon Jovi has been named Habitat for Humanity's worldwide ambassador.

Blondie's Deborah Harry and Chris Stein will do an acoustic set at C-B-G-Bs on Saturday. The legendary New York punk club will close its doors on Sunday after 33 years.

Rod Stewart celebrated today's release of Still the Same...Great Rock Classics of Our Time, by doing a show last night that was simulcast in 117 movie theaters, as well as the Nokia Jumbotron in Times Square. He's the subject of an A-and-E Biography tonight, and tomorrow hits both the CBS Early Show and Dancing With the Stars. Which is just sad...

Jimmy Buffett had a run-in with French authorities last week at an airport after a vacation in Saint-Tropez. Authorities allegedly claimed they found Ecstasy in his luggage. Buffett denies the charge, saying, "What was strange was that the search was being conducted as we were leaving, not arriving. No big deal -- I thought. I carry a few prescriptions, including a B vitamin supplement called Foltx. Well, that's the one that deflated the party balloon, for when they examined them you could see a heart on the pill. 'Ecstasy,' they said. I have never taken it and couldn't tell you the difference between a hit of Ecstasy and Excedrin P-M. Jimmy's new album, Take The Weather With You, is out today.
