🎸 Bob’s Rock and Roll News – 5 Paragraph Summary
Bob’s Rock and Roll News opened on a somber note with the passing of John D. Graham at age 67 (23:41:220) 🎤. Graham was a legendary figure in Austin’s music scene, having been a former member of both The True Believers and The Skunks. He left his studies at the University of Texas to join The Skunks, where he opened for iconic bands like The Clash and The Ramones. Bob emphasized how Graham was a frequent guest on their show, often appearing dozens of times, and despite his gruff appearance, he was always a sweetheart who showed respect to everyone at the station 🎸.
Rush made their first live performance in over 11 years at the 2026 Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys) 🍁. They performed “Finding My Way,” the lead track from their 1974 self-titled debut album. Bob noted that while this wasn’t giving away anything new for their upcoming tour, it was still exciting for fans. He reminisced about seeing Rush perform years ago, particularly remembering Neil Peart’s drums spinning in the air, though he noted that Peart is no longer the drummer 🥁.
Guns N’ Roses kicked off their world tour in Monterey, Mexico with the live debut of new songs “Atlas” and “Nothing” (29:42:119) 🌹. Bob expressed his typical skepticism about new material from classic rock bands, stating “no one wants your new song” and suggesting they shouldn’t turn concert halls into laboratories. However, he acknowledged that the band still delivered all their hits like “Paradise City,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” and “November Rain,” and even included covers like Black Sabbath’s “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” and elements of Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child” 🎼.
Paul McCartney continued his relentless touring schedule with intimate shows at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles for about 1,200 people (33:38:759) 🎵. These performances were ahead of his upcoming album “The Boys of Dungeon Lane,” produced by Andrew Watt and set for release on May 29th. Bob noted that McCartney has been touring consistently for the past 20 years and performed 23 songs, including many Beatles hits – a significant change from earlier in his solo career when he refused to play Beatles material live 🎹.
The segment concluded with Luke Graham’s new solo endeavor following his departure from Foreigner due to health reasons (36:01:639). His new album “Released” came out on March 27th, and Bob was pleased to see Graham healthy and making new music, though he admitted he wouldn’t be purchasing it. Bob also dismissed ongoing rumors about a Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks reunion, calling it clickbait that’s been circulating for two years without substance 🎤.
