How RSS and Blogs help your art website's rankings.






	 
    

Holy Moly. It's still hotter than the flames of hell and damnation around these parts of Northern California. My baby brother who turned forty last night lives over on the coast near Eureka. Over Forty?? I guess all the brothers are now in the over 40/50's demographic. What did Jagger and Richards say? What a drag it is getting old?? I'm not getting old, just senile.

Anyway, he was telling me how cool it was there around where he lives, and here we are in Redding where it has "cooled off" to about 98 degrees. It's pretty sick and I'm sick of this chit, mon.

Anyway, historically August is always hot here but it's was also a month in where many things happened musically and in the musical world.

For example, did you know that;

1938, the legendary Robert Johnson dies in Greenwood, Mississippi ... Johnson's moonshine had been poisoned days earlier ... known for his womanizing, the murderer was presumed to be the angered spouse of one of his paramours ... it was rumored that Johnson's talent came at the expense of his soul, the result of a midnight deal struck with Satan at a Mississippi crossroads. . .

1965, The Jefferson Airplane play their first live show at the Matrix Club in San Francisco ... the band will ink a deal with RCA before the year's end, one of the first rock bands on the Bay Area scene to do so...

1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Festival is held on Max Yasgur's farm in Bethel, New York ... nearly half a million will gather to celebrate what is billed as "3 Days of Peace and Music" and enjoy performances by a Who's Who of rock and roll, including Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Ten Years After, and Jefferson Airplane...

1972, Paul and Linda McCartney are busted for pot possession following a Wings show in Gothenburg, Sweden ... the couple is fined and released...

1977, Elvis leaves the building...the 42-year-old Elvis (at the same age and in the same week during 1958 in which his mother died) is found dead in his bathroom by girlfriend, Ginger Alden...according to the autopsy, death resulted from coronary arrhythmia...within days his passing becomes a media event of major proportions...it also sparks the debate as to whether his death has been staged and that he is really alive and well...even today sightings are reported, though usually now in jest...

1985, introduced to the benefits of owning publishing rights by friend Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson purchases the ATV music catalog that includes 251 Lennon/McCartney songs at auction for $47.5 million ... McCartney and Yoko Ono had attempted to purchase the songs only to be outbid by Jackson ... McCartney and Jackson's friendship ends promptly as a result. . .

1990, in a tragic freak accident, part of a lighting rig falls on Curtis Mayfield during a performance in Brooklyn, New York ... the incident leaves Mayfield paralyzed from the neck down...

2003, during a radio show in Springfield, Illinois, Ted Nugent says that the people of Illinois are "spineless, apathetic, embarrassing wimps" for their lack of involvement in their state government ... Nugent's comments come from his displeasure over the state's gun laws ... despite his comments, Nugent will play the Illinois State Fair later in the day...

Damn, I guess there really ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

If you have a website about your band and it really is optimized to get high rankings, do you know what else will take it to the top? You're going, "What else? What the hell is 'optimization' anyway? Heck, I'm just a bass player man. Dang."

Ok, big words I know but let's say you're the guitar player and you know about optimizing sites and a little bit about RSS and Blogs. I mean, for heaven's sake, you're reading a blog now, dude.
