ICYMI: Linda Ronstadt turned 80 this month. To honor the occasion, I did an unabashedly subjective countdown of what I believe to be her 40 best songs, from "Different Drum" and "Long Long Time" to "When I Fall In Love" and "Hay Unos Ojos" for @azcentral. azcentral.com/story/entertai…

Absolutely cannot say I take exception to the winner in our readers poll for best small concert venue in the metro Phoenix area. It IS one of my favorite venues in the world, after all. See who won and how the Top 10 shook out at @azcentral. azcentral.com/story/entertai…

It's been 25 years since @jimmyeatworld rolled out of Mesa, Arizona, with "Bleed American," the platinum triumph that gave the world (and Prince) "The Middle." I spoke to all four members of the band about the making of the album for @azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…

@chuckyalden @lollapalooza @azcentral I did not know that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Always careful to put the casino locations in their proper place, but all the sources I was reading called it Chandler and I didn’t live here at the time, so I had no idea. Duly noted.

@EdMasley @lollapalooza @azcentral It was on Gila River Reservation, not “Chandler” or “Tempe”. A little detail that always pisses me off. Rez land.

It's been 35 years since the first-ever @lollapalooza braved the desert heat of Arizona, where Nine Inch Nails left the stage in a huff and fighting bandmates got into it during Jane's Addiction's set. I did a historical deep dive at @azcentral. azcentral.com/story/entertai…

Linda Thompson Smith was a driving force in defining the cultural landscape of Phoenix in her dual role as DJ and music director at free-form progressive-rock radio station KDKB. It broke my heart to hear she'd died. Remembering an AZ legend at @azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…
