On Nina Hagen...PhroggAR said "One of the best concerts I have ever been to, and one of the most versatile and innovative musicians of our time. Nina can go from serious opera to downright slam punk in 3.9 seconds, and even mix the two in the same song without missing a beat. Every generation has its freaky lady entertainer - and Nina is mine. For those who have not experienced her, "New York, New York' is a classic to introduce yourself to her unique style and sound. One awesome and memorable artist and performer!"

On Tina Turner...Judy said "Hi Ms Turner, I don't know whether or not this will get to you or not but I was laying in bed last night feeling so low and out of contact with myself and couldn't get to sleep. Then I remember seeing your movie about your life and at first I didn't get the chant right but I remembered "renge kyo" so I made up the first part and just saying over and over and all of a sudden my mind was quiet and I fell asleep. Thank you! This morning I went on line to get the correct version and I am now saying it over and over until I can do it for memory and hopefully it will help my mind to quiet down. I have an anxiety disorder where everything just loops arounds and never shuts off. Thanks again. Judy"

On Janis Joplin...laurahippieprospe said "Of the 60's? In my opinion, y con permiso de Bessie Smith, Billie Holliday y Aretha, the best of all times appart from my beloved Patti Smith. But I understand there´s people who don´t like Patti, or who think her voice isn´t good. Well, everybody can think what they want, or that´s what they want us to bellieve. Like u americans say always: "we live in a free country". Sorry, that makes me laugh (or cry sometimes), but still I think no one can be compared to the great Janis Joplin. Forever. Thanks. Laura (from Spain). LOVE.This is one of the things u Americans have to be proud of, very proud of.. This woman was unique."

On Kiss...AJ said "These guys have a new one coming out in October called "Sonic Boom." It's Paul and Gene with style-free session guitarist Tommy Thayer and good 3rd drummer Eric Singer (depicted on the cover as clones of Ace and Peter), and what is being billed as an honest return to form. After what? 30 years? They actually all wrote and performed with no one from the outside helping this time. Gene did all his basslines and Paul didn't call on prissy balladeers like Michael Bolton to write garbage for him. I am sure Tommy shows up on time on a dime, so no one needs to cover for Ace anymore. They're getting too old for this sort of thing I loved KISS growing up because they were like Marvel superheroes singing about sex. And as I grew up, I appreciated the raunchy solos Ace could coax out of his Les Paul, and what Pete was doing beyond just keeping the beat. Owners Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons were iconic, The solo albums proved that Ace was actually a major force in the overall sound of KISS in the '70s. Just listen to what came later, and what he did as a solo artist afterward. Eric Carr (RIP) was a fabulous drummer, as was/is Eric Singer. But the current attempt to duplicate the classic lineup still makes me nauseous. And now we have a new album by the old farts about...screwing? That's what KISS is about. No criticism 'til I listen, but I'm pessimistic."
