The Rolling Stones: Hot Stuff
The late 70’s was probably one of the periods of time the Rolling Stones would like to forget. Despite it’s attempts to pick up on the rage of the time – that is, funk and disco, “Hot Stuff” was a flop. Music critics were branding the band has “decadent, aging millionaires” The [...]
Prince: 1999
The end of another decade – it seems like only yesterday we were partying like it was, actually, two thousand zero zero. Remember Y2K? That came and went as quickly as the millennium bug… a technological meltdown that created mass panic amongst the less technologically inclined of proportion of the population. Was [...]
