Q. What jobs did Pat Benetar have before become a rock 'n' roll star? A. Jobs before rock stardom for Pat Benatar included being a bank clerk and a singing waitress. As a teenager, she was training to go to the Juilliard School of Music. That is, until she rebelled. She never attended. OTHER FACTS... She was born Patricia Andrzejewski on January 10, 1953, renamed Benatar after a brief marriage with a GI named Dennis Benatar at the age of 19 in 1972. Halloween 1977 proved a pivotal night in Benatar's early, spandexed music career. She entered a Halloween contest at the Cafe Figaro in Greenwich Village dressed as a character from the film Cat-Women of the Moon. Later that evening, she went onstage at Catch a Rising Star still in costume and her persona was born. Between appearances at Catch a Rising Star, she recorded commercial jingles for Pepsi-Cola and a number ...

Q. What 2 rappers guest on Ed Sheeran's song '1000 Nights' on his No. 6 Collaborations Project album? A. American rappers Meek Mill and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie each supply a guest verse. Meek's rhymes find him boasting about his luxurious lifestyle and how he gets to perform at stadiums now. A Boogie mainly talks about his relationship with women, though he does come up with the head-scratching lyric: "Me and Meek and Ed Sheeran just like the Beatles." Sheeran explained to Charlamagne Tha God that he was a fan of A Boogie's Hoodie SZN album, and he sensed that the song would also work well for Meek. "Originally, I had a different beat. And when I made the beat - Meek actually said this when I played it to him - he said, 'You know my tempo,'" Sheeran recalled. "For me, it just sounded like a Meek song." 1000 ...
MoreQ. What 2014 movie revived an interest in 1970's music? A. From website songfacts.com... The movie Guardians of the Galaxy opens in America, reviving '70s favorites like "Hooked On A Feeling" and "Come And Get Your Love." In the film, Chris Pratt plays a human who totes a Walkman with a tape his mother gave him: the Awesome Mix Vol. 1. As he goes on galactic adventures, he plays songs from the tape, jamming out to "Go All The Way" on his ship and playing "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" for a romantic interlude. The tracks are not what you'd expect to hear in a superhero film, as the film's target audience was born decades later. But director James Gunn sees them as key to the development of Pratt's character, who loves these songs even if they aren't cool anymore. They also jibe with the quirky nature of the film, ...

There are right and wrong ways to do everything. What Mike Blackmore did with his two instruments, a set of looping devices and a healthy influx of creative imagination was definitely an illustration of one of the right ways. Technological aids are frequently used to create shortcuts. That’s one of the knocks against them. Another is the reputation they’ve acquired for stripping the music of its warmth. With Mike Blackmore there’s no shortcuts. That, along with the imagination involved, and the fact that everything is put together live, insures the music carries the spontaneity and warmth of something that’s been created on the spot. That’s true of his live shows and of his new release, the CD ‘Coyote’ Songs begin with whichever instrument fits his needs. Mostly, it’s the guitar but the djembe drum takes the fore once in a while. From that point he builds the arrangements in layers. His ...

Due to the Covid -19 situation, the makers of music & movies are suffering financial hardships despite our government's efforts to provide benefits which are temporary. Many of them earn their living from touring and playing their music in various venues, which they can not do for the foreseeable future. A little known factor also impacting their income is that downloads or streaming music pays pennies compared to the money they earn when a REAL CD or vinyl record is purchased. Some may indeed have jobs besides the arts, but they are perhaps not able to work at them currently either. Knowing in our hearts & souls, how much joy is derived from listening to music or watching movies we felt we had to do something to help out our amazing and diverse local talent. Therefore, we have decided that we at Cheeky Monkey will Pay It Forward/Back by paying the tax on sales of local talent CD's. So ...
