Working Out The Kinks

Mott the Hoople were one of the great also-rans in the history of rock & roll. Though Mott scored a number of album rock hits in the early '70s, the band never quite broke through into the mainstream. Nevertheless, their nasty fusion of heavy metal, glam rock, and Bob Dylan's sneering hipster cynicism provided the groundwork for many British punk bands, most notably the Clash. At the center of Mott the Hoople was lead vocalist/pianist Ian Hunter, a late addition to the band who developed into its focal point as his songwriting grew.

Pinterest, the world’s fourth largest social network, announced September 19, 2013 the impending rollout of their advertising platform. At that point, I’d already had my eye on them for quite some time — with warp-speed growth, a user base of 70% women, and an average user household income of over $100,000, Pinterest was shaping up to be an eCommerce marketer’s dream!

It's not just that the mysterious Electric Banana is in fact a disguised Pretty Things hiding under another name – they were anonymously recording music for London films, such as 1969's What's Good for the Goose, which they also appear in – but it's them at their best!

Sorrow at Abbey Road with Beatles engineer Norman Smith…

Joseph Wilson, Ph.D. This guy is a champion in numerous martial arts styles, a 5th degree black belt, holding black belts in 10 styles of martial arts, including Kenpo, Jujitsu, Taekwondo, and Wing Chun. As well as a member of the World Sokeship Council Hall of Fame. He is the real deal, as is also readily apparent on Sonnon's Hardwork DVD. There's no doubt his mobility is excellent. He's shown doing some double 45lb CB stuff in the intro which is no joke. He was one of Sonnon's head coaches for a long time.

Few bands in the history of rock & roll were riddled with as many contradictions as the Who. All four members had wildly different personalities, as their notoriously intense live performances demonstrated. The group was a whirlwind of activity, as the wild Keith Moon fell over his drum kit and Pete Townshend leaped into the air with his guitar, spinning his right hand in exaggerated windmills. Vocalist Roger Daltrey strutted across the stage with a thuggish menace, as bassist John Entwistle stood silent, functioning as the eye of the hurricane.
