My Next Read: “The Lost Music of the Holocaust” by Francesco Lotoro

Scores sewn into coat linings, instruments hidden in suitcases, sheet music stashed among dirty laundry, concertos written on discarded food wrappers – these are just some of the ingenious ways prisoners in civilian, political and military captivity from 1933 to 1953 protected their music in the darkest of times.

Italian pianist and composer Francesco Lotoro has been on a lifelong quest to find this remarkable music in his new book “The Lost Music of the Holocaust.” He has painstakingly salvaged and performed symphonies, operas and songs written by the incarcerated musicians, many of whom died in the camps. He has travelled the globe to meet with families and survivors whose harrowing testimonies bear witness to the most devastating experiences in twentieth-century history.

Movingly piecing together the human stories of those who wrote and performed whilst imprisoned, this compelling book takes readers on a journey into their extraordinary lives and music, shining a light on a unique beauty that somehow prevailed against all odds.

5 Surprising Facts About INXS’ ‘Kick’

When INXS released Kick in 1987, they were already on an upward climb—but this album rocketed them into the stratosphere. Full of bold, danceable rock songs and unforgettable hooks, Kick became a defining moment in the ’80s music scene, turning INXS into global icons. However, beyond its chart-topping singles and MTV domination, Kick holds several untold stories that reveal the creative energy and risks that went into making it.

1. The “Need You Tonight” Riff Almost Didn’t Make It

The iconic riff for “Need You Tonight” was born out of a rush for a cab. As Andrew Farriss waited for a taxi to the airport to write more material, the riff came to him. He asked the driver to wait, went back to his room, and spent 45 minutes recording the riff—leaving a very angry cab driver outside. That riff became the backbone of INXS’s biggest hit.

2. A Rejected Album Concept Led to a Defining Masterpiece

Atlantic Records initially rejected Kick, arguing it didn’t have any hit singles. However, the band believed in the album’s potential and convinced the label to release it as-is. The result? Four top 10 U.S. singles, including “New Sensation” and “Devil Inside.”

3. “Never Tear Us Apart” Was a Last-Minute Transformation

Originally a simple piano ballad, “Never Tear Us Apart” was given a dramatic overhaul by producer Chris Thomas. He substituted strings for piano, creating a cinematic anthem that became one of the band’s most beloved tracks.

4. The Hong Kong Writing Retreat

When producer Chris Thomas wanted more material, he sent Hutchence and Farriss to Hong Kong. This led to the creation of essential tracks, including “Need You Tonight” and “Calling All Nations.” The trip not only produced music but cemented Michael Hutchence and Farriss’s writing partnership.

5. The Visuals Were as Groundbreaking as the Music

The music video for “Need You Tonight/Mediate” pioneered visual effects that paired INXS’s funk-rock sound with edgy graphics. The video won five MTV Video Music Awards, helping to boost the album’s U.S. success and showing how closely Kick was tied to the MTV era.

Kick remains an absolutely scorcher of a record. From chance inspirations to career-defining decisions, the album’s story is as captivating as its music.

My Next Read: “Heartbreaker: A Memoir” By Mike Campbell With Ari Surdoval

A fast-paced, tender-hearted rock ’n’ roll memoir for the ages, Mike Campbell’s Heartbreaker is part rags-to-riches story and part raucous, seat-of-the-pants adventure, recounting Campbell’s life and times as lead guitarist of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Mike Campbell was the lead guitarist for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from the band’s inception in 1976 to Petty’s tragic death in 2017. His iconic, melodic playing helped form the foundation of the band’s sound, as heard on definitive classics like “American Girl,” “Breakdown,” “Don’t Come Around Here No More,” “Mary Jane’s Last Dance,” “Learning to Fly” and “Into the Great Wide Open.”

Together, Petty and Campbell wrote countless songs, including some of the band’s biggest hits: “Refugee,” “Here Comes My Girl,” “You Got Lucky” and “Runnin’ Down a Dream” among them.

From their early days in Florida to their dizzying rise to superstardom to Petty’s acclaimed, platinum-selling solo albums Full Moon Fever and Wildflowers, Petty never made a record without him. Their work together is timeless, as are the career-defining hits Campbell co-wrote with Don Henley (“The Boys of Summer”) and with Petty for Stevie Nicks (“Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”).

But few know of the less-than-glamorous background from which Campbell emerged—a hardscrabble childhood on the north side of Jacksonville, often just days ahead of homelessness, raised by a single mother struggling on minimum wage. After months of saving, his mother bought him a $15 pawnshop acoustic guitar for his sixteenth birthday. With a chord book and a transistor radio, Campbell painstakingly taught himself to play.

When a chance encounter with a guidance counselor inspired him to enroll in the University of Florida, Campbell—broke, with nowhere else to go and the Vietnam draft looming—moved into a rundown farmhouse in Gainesville, where he met a 20-year-old Tom Petty. They were soon inseparable. Together they chased their shared dream all the way to Los Angeles, where Campbell would meet his destiny, and the love of his life, Marcie.

It was an at-times grueling dream come true that took Campbell from the very bottom to the absolute top, where Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers would remain for decades, creating an astonishing body of work.

Brilliant, soft-spoken and intensely private, Campbell opens up within these pages for the first time, revealing himself to be an astute observer of triumphs, tragedies and absurdities alike, with a songwriter’s eye for the telling detail and a voice as direct and unpretentious as his music.

An instant classic, Heartbreaker is Mike Campbell’s heartfelt portrait of one throwaway kid’s lifesaving love of music and the creative heights he achieved through luck, collaboration, humility and extraordinary talent.

Nickelback Announce ‘Live From Nashville’ Album Releasing on November 15th

Today, diamond certified, multi-platinum selling rock band Nickelback officially announce their new ‘Live From Nashville’ album releasing November 15th via BMG. Kicking off with lead single “San Quentin (Live from Nashville),” Nickelback: Live From Nashville will feature electrifying live recordings from the band’s legendary, sold-out show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on their 2023 Get Rollin’ Tour, which was hailed as a “fiery, raucous, unapologetic and rock-driven” set by The Tennessean. Nickelback’s set featured several special guests, including some of music’s biggest hitmakers, and now the magic of that show can be experienced again with Nickelback: Live from Nashville. The album will feature their performance of ERNEST’s “Flower Shops,” a cover of “Copperhead Road” with Josh Ross and Brantley Gilbert, “Savin’ Me” featuring Chris Daughtry, “Rockstar” with Bailey Zimmerman, and a rendition of HARDY’s “SOLD OUT.” Pre-save/pre-order the album HERE.

The single, “San Quentin (Live from Nashville)” highlights the searing heat of Nickelback’s live show and delivers a blistering take on the riff-ripping song that was inspired after frontman Chad Kroeger met a real-life warden from the notoriously high security California prison. Stream HERE.

Nickelback: Live From Nashville follows the release of the band’s feature-length documentary Hate to Love: Nickelback that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023 before hitting cinemas worldwide. Now available on Netflix, the film, directed by Leigh Brooks and produced by Ben Jones, tells the authentic story about the band from their humble beginnings in Hanna Alberta, to their explosive global success in 2001 and the highs and lows that followed.

2024 marks two years since the release of Nickelback’s 10th studio album, Get Rollin’ which was released November 18, 2022, via BMG. Their first album in 5 years, Get Rollin’ debuted at #2 across the Current Rock, Alternative, Hard Music, and Digital Album charts. The record also landed on the ARIA Album Chart at #3 and in the Top 10 in the UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Austria. Additionally, Get Rollin’ debuted at #1 in Switzerland, a career first for the band. With Get Rollin’, Nickelback continued their incomparable legacy as “one of rock’s biggest-ever bands,” as noted by KERRANG. Furthering their legacy, the band was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the JUNO Awards on March 13, 2023. Following the release of Get Rollin’, Nickelback embarked on the 2023 Get Rollin’ Tour that spanned 38 cities in the United States and Canada before hitting Europe in 2024.

2023 Canadian Music Hall of Fame recipients, and Diamond-certified selling group Nickelback were named the “most successful rock band of the decade” by Billboard in 2009. Globally celebrated for their career defining and award-winning hits “How You Remind Me,” “Photograph,” “Far Away,” and“ Rockstar,” and more, the four piece comprised of Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger, and Daniel Adair is one of the most commercially viable and important acts of the past two decades. Their success includes worldwide sales of more than 50-million units, solidifying their status as one of the top-selling acts of all time and the second best-selling foreign act in the U.S., in the 2000’s decade, behind only The Beatles. Their inescapable and irresistible smash “How You Remind Me” was named Billboard’s ‘Top Rock Song of the Decade’ and was the number-one most played song on U.S. radio (any format) in the 2000’s according to Nielsen Soundscan, with over 1.2 million spins.

Amongst all of these accolades, they’ve also been named Billboard’s “Top Rock Group of the Decade” and received nine Grammy Award nominations, three American Music Awards, a World Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, twelve JUNO Awards, seven MuchMusic Video Awards, and have been inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame (2007) and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (2023). With more than 23 chart-topping singles and fans spanning the globe, Nickelback boasts more than twelve consecutive sold-out world tours, playing to well over 10-million+ diehard and adoring fans.

Legendary Coach Bill Belichick and Raiders Star Maxx Crosby Join “Let’s Go!” on SiriusXM as Hosts for 2024 Season

SiriusXM today unveiled a new lineup for the 2024 season of the exclusive show, “Let’s Go!” Throughout the upcoming NFL season listeners will hear from hosts six-time Super Bowl Champion head coach Bill Belichick, three-time Pro Bowl Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, and three-time National Sportswriter of the Year Peter King, as they join Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Gray for weekly in-depth conversations on pro football.

New episodes of “Let’s Go!” will debut every Monday at 6 pm ET/3 pm PT on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82) and replay at 6:30 pm ET/3:30 pm PT on SiriusXM NFL Radio (channel 88). “Let’s Go!” will be available on all major podcast platforms, with additional bonus content from Belichick, Crosby, King and Gray available only on the SiriusXM app. The new season begins this Monday, September 2.

Each host, in his own segment with Jim Gray, brings to “Let’s Go!” a unique and special perspective on the game.

One of the greatest head coaches of all time, Bill Belichick holds numerous coaching records, including the record of most Super Bowl wins (6) as a head coach, all with the New England Patriots, along with two more as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants. During his time with the Patriots Belichick was a central figure during the franchise’s dynasty. He has the most playoff coaching wins all-time with 31 and is second on the all-time coaching list for combined wins.

“I thank Tom for recommending me. When the opportunity was presented by Jim I said, ‘Let’s Go,’” Belichick said. “When people say, ‘Let’s Go!’ it conveys a sense of camaraderie and teamwork that all involved share the same goals and excitement. And that’s exactly how I feel to be joining the ‘Let’s Go!’ team at SiriusXM.”

Belichick takes over as a host for Tom Brady who, along with Larry Fitzgerald, led the first three seasons of “Let’s Go!” with Gray. Brady will make appearances on the show this season as a guest.

“For 20 years I threw the ball for Coach Belichick. Now I am passing the microphone to him on ‘Let’s Go!’” said Brady. “I will be listening every week as I know Bill and Jim will have lots of great conversations, and I’m looking forward to my guest appearances and joining them during the season.”

Maxx Crosby has led the league in tackles for loss the past two seasons, been voted to the Pro Bowl the past three, and has established himself as one of the leaders of the Las Vegas Raiders franchise.

“It’s an honor for me to join a show I’ve tuned in to my entire career,” said Crosby. “I look forward to diving into all things NFL and Raiders with two legendary sports journalists in Jim and Peter, and to be part of the same program with the greatest coach of all time in Coach Belichick.”

Peter King has covered the NFL for more than four decades, was voted National Sportswriter of the Year by his peers three times and is one of the most informed and trusted journalists covering the sport.

“This season on ‘Let’s Go!’ our listeners will get to hear directly each week from the greatest Super Bowl winning coach of all time in Bill Belichick and one of the NFL’s most exciting young players in Maxx Crosby. This combined with Tom’s guest appearances will continue to serve our audience one-of-kind insights into the game,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “Add to the mix Peter King’s encyclopedic knowledge of the game, and Jim Gray leading the conversations, and you have an extraordinary on air team.”

“Perhaps more than anyone, Bill brings a wealth of insight, knowledge and wisdom of professional football and leadership that he will now share with our audience on ‘Let’s Go!’ I’m honored to be able to work with him,” said Gray. “I love and appreciate Tom and Larry, as we have spent more than a decade together on the radio. I’m very grateful to both of them and I’m very happy that Tom will continue as a guest. Maxx is a superstar, and Peter will provide us the most enlightening stories and astute perspectives.”

The first three seasons of “Let’s Go!” have also featured appearances by an extraordinary list of guests – including Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Judge, Andy Reid, Lamar Jackson, Lawrence Taylor, Snoop Dogg, Oprah Winfrey, Roger Staubach, Josh Allen, CJ Stroud, A’ja Wilson, Denzel Washington, Adam Sandler, Shaq, Peyton Manning, Kevin Durant, John Elway, Joe Burrow, Deion Sanders, Charles Barkley and many others.

Manuel, who won an ACC Championship title as quarterback at Florida State with Fisher as his head coach, and Jacob Hester, who played running back at LSU with Fisher as the team’s offensive coordinator.

“I love talking about football almost as much as I love coaching,” said Fisher. “I’m really excited to be joining the SiriusXM College Sports Radio team. I listen to the channel, have been a guest there many times, and now I get to host a show alongside two great players that I had the pleasure to coach. We’ve got another great season ahead of us, with exciting teams, players and storylines.
