Tuesday Rock Roundup 1024
Don Henley will be honored as the 2007 MusiCares Person of the Year on February 9th during Grammy week in Los Angeles. He'll be recognized for his philanthropic causes -- from environmental issues through his Walden Woods Project and the Caddo Lake Institute, to artists' rights and his Recording Artists' Coalition. In addition to receiving his award, Henley will be honored with an all-star tribute concert.
Canada's Audio-Visual Preservation Trust has selected 2112, the fourth album by Rush (and my all-time favorite) as a MasterWork -- which means the 1976 album will be preserved for future generations. Similar to what the Library of Congress does in the U-S, the Trust protects classic Canadian works and selects 12 each year. The irony is, that it kind-of ties into the storyline of 2112 itself...where a person discovers music from the old days. Rush by the way are currently working on their first since full-length album since Vapor Trails in 2002.
Peter Gabriel has confirmed he will not be joining his former bandmates in Genesis when they hit the road for a reunion tour next year. Gabriel left the group in 1976, paving the way for Phil Collins to take over as vocalist. Phil quit the band 10 years ago. The management of Genesis will officially announce on Tuesday, November 7th that Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford will reunite for a world tour in 2007.
Pete Townshend of The Who tells Rolling Stone he "wouldn't pay money to go see The Who, not even with new songs." The Who is back out November 4th in Los Angeles.
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett recently became the last band member to become a father for the first time. He and his wife Lani welcomed the arrival of a boy named Angel Ray Keala Hammett. The baby is healthy and already a better guitar soloist.
