The 27s: The Greatest Myth of Rock & Roll available NOW!
What began as a modest project, an artistic tribute to The 27s, has grown to a 312-page book complete with visually enticing pages packed with original art, mood setting illustrations, and a thought-provoking revelation than runs throughout. The story of The 27s read like a mini-history of rock & roll.
The 27s permeate across genres and although, say, D. Boon and the Minutemen haven’t sold as many records as Janis Joplin, he is no less important than the Queen of Rock. D. Boon showed that "our band could be your life" for fans across the country—fans that include members of R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Sublime. MySpace’s power to break bands is in part an extension of the fanzine/tape/word-of-mouth/grassroots scene that the Minutemen, Black Flag, Hüsker Dü, and other post-punk/hardcore bands were an integral part of—a scene that paved the way for the great alternative/grunge movement that dominated the 1990s.
The media makes music into a popularity contest and in that framework Jimi, Janis, Jim, Kurt and Brian loom larger than the rest, but the way we look at it each 27 have contributed to the history and development of rock & roll. Read it and you’ll discover how and why.
The 27s is a visual feast quite unlike any other music book out there. The story flows like a gushing river, celebrating the lives and legacies of an extremely talented yet rather unknown clique of artists who managed to change the sound of rock.

Hello! Here's something you & your readers may be interested in. I'm writing a column The Doors Examiner about new events with The Doors. I hope you'll check it out & tell all your friends and fans!
Affecting CHANGE can be a daunting task. Affecting GLOBAL change? Try HERCULEAN. Still, with an issue as big as GLOBAL WARMING, it's going to take an equally enormous effort to make change. One organization is doing just that. It's 350.ORG, the international CLIMATE CHANGE campaign. Partnering with individuals and groups around the world, 350.ORG is changing the way we look at our changing climate. Already, 350.ORG has impacted environmental legislation in America, inspiring politicians to cut carbon 80% by 2050. On October 24th, 2009, 350 goes worldwide.
In coordination with 350's international day of action, ADITA.ORG releases "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT". This compilation consists of a wide variety of artists from around Chicago, the midwest, and beyond. "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT" benefits 350.ORG, with promotion of the October 24th day of action, and monetarily with each sale. ADITA.ORG is the digital home of A DAY IN THE AIR, a personal zine written by Bradley Adita. "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT" is A Day In The Air #24 and the 4th CD to be released since 2000. "Iowahardcore.com(pilation)" was released in 2003.
