Supporting music in Richmond since 2000 - "I was struck by lightning, walkin' down the street / I was hit by something last night in my sleep / It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more? / Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door / Leave your body and soul at the door" - Oingo Boingo, “Dead Man's Party”

Late Night Pick: Robbie Robertson
Former member of The Band, creator of excellent solo work, and soundtrack coordinator for numerous films (including a number of Scorsese films), Robbie Robertson, will be on Tavis Smiley tonight on PBS. Check your local listings for times. I know I have to set my DVR because it's on at 3 AM here in Richmond. Robbie may not play on music on the show but all of you who have seen "The Last Waltz" know he is a great storyteller so the interview should be interesting. He'll probably talk about his new book, "Legends, Icons & Rebels: Music That Changed the World" and the new release from The Band, "Live at the Academy of Music 1971" which captures the complete concerts that supplied the music for their "Rock of Ages" album.
