Hello Rock Fans! There is long list of great rock bands that fall into the under-appreciated and practically-forgotten category and this week we recognize a band that is near the top of that list.

England’s Roxy Music was a highly influential band that was not only miles ahead of everyone musically but visually as well. When they came on the scene in the early seventies, they were part of a blossoming glam movement that included the likes of David Bowie, T Rex, and The Sweet.

These were artists who played rock but pushed the androgynous button and dressed flashier than most.

Hello Rock fans!

Let me start by apologizing for the long hiatus from writing this column, which is by far my favorite column to write.  I have heard from the fans, none of whom were born after 1990, by the way, asking for more stories about Steve Marriot, Roger Waters, and Chrissie Hynde, and it’s awesome that there other rock fans out there to dig the music and to read about it.

Enough with the trivial stuff lets talk rock! Little things get me really excited so when my friend Alvan Long, who runs the Cambridge Mass.- based Curve of the Earth record label and New Alliance Recording studios handed me a January 1971 copy of Circus Magazine, I was extremely happy.
