Larry Coryell gets haughty about his skills ... and rightly so.new
Some players willfully flout convention, bounding from one genre to the next. Guitarist Larry Coryell didn’t set out to play garage, psych, jazz and fusion. He’s just kept good company over almost fifty years in music.

20 Greatest Non-Hits by the Rolling Stonesnew
Everyone knows that the Rolling Stones are a bunch of greedy amoral bastards. (Pick your anecdote from rock lore to illustrate this fact.) The geezers keep flogging their fame into the 21st century, long past sell-by date of their flesh and musical inspiration. Do they need to tour and release more memoirs to make more millions? It hardly seems like it, yet they've been doing it for 50 years now, and they probably don't know what else to do with themselves.

Bob Dylan: Still rolling, still blowingnew
Once again Bob Dylan, now 71, is on the cover of magazines. His new disc, Tempest, is near the top of the charts. And yet to many, too many, especially to those under 40, Dylan is worse than an enigma or a mystery, he is a story where the plot is too far advanced to join in.
