I Got Another Speeding Ticket!
Greg Here- I got a speeding ticket this morning on the way to work. I was running a little late and I tried to make up the time and I got busted. Last year I got 4 tickets (driving the rock-star Corvette) but since I got rid of it I haven’t been pulled over. I was doing so well… Until this morning about 4:35am. Damn! My license was nearly suspended...
Dick Clark’s American Bandstand
On this date in GKB history- back in 1983- we were on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand. Greg Kihn Band appeared on that TV show many times over the years and Dick Clark was always cool. Love that guy. He always took a few minutes to interview the band after the performance. Check out the Mod T Shirt I was wearing from Carnaby Street. How young we all were! Has it really been...
I’m your Venus, I’m your fire, what’s your desire?
On this date in 1970 “Venus” by the Shocking Blue hit #1 in the Billboard Charts. You probably remember the song- it was a strong rocker with a great chorus. I’m your Venus, I’m your fire, what’s your desire? The Shocking Blue were a Dutch Band from Den Hague (The Hague) in the Netherlands. When I was twenty-one years old I went to Amsterdamn...
My very first album “Greg Kihn”
On this date in 1976, my very first album “Greg Kihn” was released on the legendary Beserkley Records. I was still working my day job at Rather Ripped Records at the corner of Hearst and Euclid right across the street from North Gate of Cal Berkeley. In fact, I shot the cover picture outside the store during a break in my shift. I personally shrink-wrapped the first...
Lucky Video
Neal Schon, lead guitarist for Journey has put his new girlfriend Michaela Salahi in the band’s new video “Resonate.” Some fans are complaining. I know what that’s like because I gave in to the pressure myself back in the 80′s and featured my 2nd wife in the video for “Lucky.” Too bad the marriage wasn’t as successful as the video....
The Ice Rink Incident
I had been grounded for some pimply offense or other. I don’t remember exactly why. My mother forbade me to leave the house, that much I knew. But, I was fifteen and a half years old and going through a difficult time. Rambunctious behavior was the norm. Still, I had never deliberately and with malice aforethought gone against my mother. Not until the...
Hall of Shame
Hall of Shame Joan Jett and Heart did not make it in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame yesterday! How is that possible? You know I have a problem with that. I know that I’ll never make it to the Hall of Fame- but I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit around and watch (and keep my mouth shut) while my friends systematically get voted off the island after...
