Black Sabbath — Embrace The Darkness

Getting into the Halloween spirit, I thought to myself, “hmmm, who is the most wicked, evil and rockin’ band?”. The answer was invariably Black Sabbath (the original with Ozzy) back in their early days. The prince of darkness’ reign of evil has been diminished a little after watching him on his family’s reality show, but who hasn’t banged their head a little to some Sabbath?

Jackson 5 — Reuniting?

New York Times:

The Jackson 5, above in 1976, will be getting back together, not in a court of law, at an intervention or on the set of Jerry Springer, but in a series of concerts, Jermaine Jackson said, according to Agence France-Presse. At an event for the Multi Channel Network in Sydney, Australia, Mr. Jackson, the third-oldest sibling, said that the R&B family would reunite next year for a world tour that would include his superstar brother, Michael, as well as his younger sister Janet. “This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together,” Mr. Jackson said, according to the news agency. “It is just the timing, so what we’ve been doing is working on the music and all the logistics.” No tour dates have been announced.
