HIGHLIGHT OF 2014

Travelling to LA in January to report on Mötley Crüe's press conference for The Music from Beacher's Madhouse in the basement of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The news of their Final Tour was bittersweet, but being in their presence and even getting the guts up to ask a question while all four members of the Crüe looked my way? That's a good day right there \m/

PREDICTION FOR 2015

Mötley Crüe's Final Tour hits our shores. And a Bowie tour, because this just absolutely needs to happen. Also, how about guys get busy shaving off their beards and mos so that maybe I can get a pash? The escapee from Sovereign Hill look is beyond yesteryear plus it makes 18-year-olds look 50, which isn't ideal.
