We have lost an icon. After starting her career in little ol Lake Charles @ Goldband Records with Eddie Shuler in 1959, and going on to worldwide success in music, movies and beyond. Always with love, grace and positive messages she will live on through her countless giving and support to worthy causes. Rest in Peace💜

A defining moment, in a defining time in Music/Culture/Generational shift. Who was there and still has their shirt to prove it? 😎

In 1991, Jane’s Addiction’s attempt at a farewell-tour extravaganza accidentally defined a generation and changed the music industry.

Seven or eight bands in 20 cities sounds paltry compared to the 100-plus that play Lollapalooza these days, but ask anyone involved in that inaugural year: There was more at stake.
