James Dylan Sick Again

James Dylan, the singer in Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, has come down with an illness, prompting the cancellation of a number of shows. The cancellations began Thursday in Sacramento, California. At that time, guitarist Tony Catania commented on Facebook:

Well I had no idea how fucked up everything has become......we are evaluating the situation

This was the first clue that perhaps, Sacremento wouldn't be the only cancellation.  It wasn't, and Friday Night's show at The Greek in Los Angeles, and Saturday's show in Las Vegas were cancelled as well.

No word yet on any other cancellations. They are, presumably, evaluating the situation.

The cancelled shows have been rescheduled for October. I would assume that means more October dates will be in the offing, possibly meaning round three of the JBZLE.

Can't Buy My Love

The more I hear the Robert Plant's Band of Joy album one song at a time, with each piece removed from the context of the rest of the album, the more I like it. Whether it's the first single, Angel Dance, The second release, Monkey, this weeks free download, Central Two-O-Nine or the new video of Can't Buy My Love, each song is stellar.
