“It’s been a long road to get here, man. There’s a lot of miles to go,” Alice in Chains singer/guitarist Jerry Cantrell said as he sat on stage during an intimate, acoustic set the band performed at a listening party on Tuesday evening.

It is very hard for me to put into words how hard it was to hear about the passing of my good friend Traci Michaelz of the band Peppermint Creeps. He had a very special place in my heart, as well as many of the lives he touched in his life. When I think of Traci, I can’t help but smile. I had the best times with him, the craziest times, and the most amazing conversations I have had with anyone in Hollywood. You make a lot of friends in this city, the city of lights and entertainment. Everyone comes here to turn their dreams into a reality, and Traci was one of the few who excelled at it, above and beyond anything else, he finally was doing what he loved the most – his music.

LOS ANGELES, CA -- 50th Annual Grammy Awards are on.....feel free to discuss! I will be updating this post with my quirky commentary throughout the telecast. The telecast opens with Alicia Keyes singing a duet with Frank Sinatra, singing along with her as he appears from a television set. “From the moment you first fall in love with making music you dream of being a part of this show,” said Keyes as she opened the show.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- My feet are covered in blisters but question is: Was it worth it? Thing is…if I had to do it again I would – I would just wear better shoes. It took 3 and a half hours until Vince Neil took the stage (he was 2hrs late), one additional hour for the concert, and then a whole lot of waiting in line to get into the club that had people literally crammed in there like a pack of sardines.

HOLLYWOOD, CA -- GOD WHAT AN HONOR TO BE A PART OF THIS EVENT! I feel like I was a part of a day in history!! Definitely a highlight for me to be able to be a part of it all! My best friend and I got there very early this morning and stood right in front of the barricade, which was cool. Started talking to some of the fans in there and even ran into a couple friends who said to me "I knew you'd be here." The band showed up about an hour before the event and the people from Third Street management and bodyguards were lingering around the star.

CULVER CITY, CA -- My neighbor and I went to the Sony Studios at around 3pm and there was already a line of seat fillers to get in. The weather didn't help much because although the sun was out, it was very windy and everyone was shivering. Of course, our line was in the shade which just made it feel like it was even colder out. We are in line and moved around closer and closer to the studio door, but we had to wait until close to 6pm to finally make it inside. I tell you waiting around sucks,and all I could think of was I hope this thing is worth it because my feet and my back were hurting badly, not to mention the cold wasn't helping.

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 5, 2001 - About a dozen of fifteen-year-olds are lined up between the barricade that separates the House of Blues sidewalk and the blue tour bus parked on the lot which, presumably, belongs to the Canadian rockers of Sum 41. "Oh-my-God, I just saw Dave!" one girl yells as the other handful of teens join her in mutual pandemonium. "Dave is so hot," another says, as she peeks through the cracks on the wall hoping to catch a glimpse of the guitar player walking into the venue.
