Former Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm is eying a retirement from the road. Although Gramm is enjoying a higher profile these days due to his new memoir – Juke Box Hero: My Five Decades In Rock N’ Roll — and upcoming induction with Mick Jones into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, he explained that touring isn’t his primary concern anymore, telling VH1, “I have some other interests. I enjoy being in the studio, I still enjoy writing. I may put my efforts into writing songs for other people or into production. I guess those are the outlets for old rock singers when they go out to pasture, y’know?”

John Fogerty will celebrate his 68th birthday and the release of his latest album Wrote A Song For Everyone with a special one-off gig at L.A.’s El Rey Theatre. A limited amount of pre-sale tickets for the show are available to members of Fogerty’s fan club through his website (JohnFogerty.com). The show, which starts at 8:30 PM PST, will be filmed and broadcast live on AXS TV.

Wrote A Song For Everyone, which has been several years in the making, features high profile collaborations on Fogerty’s classic songs — including many of his Creedence Clearwater Revival standards. Highlights on the set include Bob Seger on “Who’ll Stop The Rain,” “Fortunate Son” with Foo Fighters, “Lodi” with Fogerty’s sons Shane and Tyler — along with “Born On The Bayou” with Kid Rock. Other contributors include My Morning Jacket, Keith Urban, Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Tom Morello, Jennifer Hudson, and Allen Toussaint.

It was 43 years ago today (May 14th, 1970) that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY) released their single “Ohio” as a tribute to four students killed by National Guardsmen on May 4th, 1970 during anti-war protests at Ohio’s Kent State University.

David Crosby and Neil Young were together in the days following the shootings, and were both distraught over the senseless killings and found themselves discussing, arguing, and replaying the tragic events, until Young took a guitar and sat alone and composed “Ohio.” The song, which was recorded right away, was rush-released only ten days after the shootings.
