@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…

@jeffmetcalfe @dannowicki If I ever get up the nerve to do a best Beach Boys songs list, I'd imagine that is in the mix for sure.

"We had no idea what the future held." It was 25 years ago today that @jimmyeatworld released "Bleed American," the platinum triumph that gave the world "The Middle." I spoke to all four members of the band about the making of the album for @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…

"Iconic Phoenix DJ who drove the music culture of the '70s remembered." (via @EdMasley) 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-FM in the ’70s. Remembering an Arizona legend gone too soon. @azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…

Did you see that the @azstatefair has announced another headliner, bringing the total to six (so far) for 2026. Here's a look at the lineup, as it stands, at @azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…

By the time I discovered @thebeatles, they'd been broken up for years, which made their solo work the closest thing I had to the excitement of new Beatles music. That made celebrating Ringo Starr in this best-songs list a labor of true love. @azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…

These beloved Phoenix DJs have said goodbye to radio in 2026. @azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…

@Steven_Hyden That sounds like a very entertaining road trip. This has been my favorite album by The Who for so long, I can't remember what my favorite was before I realized I like this one better.

Listened to THE WHO SELL OUT twice on my long weekend road trip. Incredible album.

The votes are in. Here's what @azcentral readers named the best large music venue in metro Phoenix. I myself have had a lot of great times at that venue, and I get free refills on Coke Zero there, so bonus points for that. Here's the readers' Top 5 venues. azcentral.com/story/entertai…
