ROLLING STONES

Newly released as an exclusive digital download is the Rolling Stones' Hampton Coliseum: Live 1981. The concert, which was recorded on Keith Richards' 38th birthday on December 18th, 1981 in Hampton Roads, Virginia, was the final show of the Stones' 1981 North American trek in support of their chart-topping Tattoo You album. The live set -- which features the band's entire performance -- is available for only $4.99 to subscribers of Google Music, via Android Market. The show, which has been available for years both on soundboard vinyl and CD, was videotaped and shown live on early pay per view cable in 1981, with the Stones utilizing the footage numerous times over the years.

The Stones' 1981/1982 tour was the band's last for seven years, during which time Mick Jagger and Keith Richards became embroiled in a public battle over Jagger pursuing a solo career. It was guitarist Ron Wood who eventually steered the two back to being partners and reigniting the Stones, who are still going strong. Wood recalled first meeting the band back in the 1960's: "I remember hanging out with the Stones in Olympic (Studios), uh, when I first met them with the Faces -- the Small Faces -- y'know, when I used to hang out with them. But many good memories of parties, because Olympic used to have three different studios. You'd have, like, the Faces in one, the Stones in another, David Bowie in another, it was just like, everyone would meet in the canteen -- like, 'How's it goin'?' 'Alright.'"

DEF LEPPARD/POISON

 

Early word is that a Def Leppard - Poison tour is in the works for this summer. Leppard guitarist Viv Campbell was quoted by Ultimate Classic Rock as saying that the tour will be tied in with this June's big screen adaptation of the Broadway musical, Rock Of Ages, explaining, "We're actually going to be back on tour around when the (film) is out, and it would be a lot of fun to get some of the other bands featured in Rock Of Ages out with us. Nothing has been finalized yet, but apparently Poison will be joining us -- at least according to Bret Michaels, who has been telling everyone that they'll be touring with us this year. We went out with Poison in 2009, and we all had so much fun."

Campbell, who until recently did double duty playing guitar for Thin Lizzy, went on to say: "If it does end up happening like that, I would love for the third band to be someone like Twisted Sister, since they're also in the new movie. I think that would make for a great lineup."

 

AC/DC

AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson competed in the 50th running of the Rolex 24 auto race at Daytona this past Saturday and according to Ultimate Classic Rock, the Scottish singer and his team finished 32nd in a field of 59 cars. Johnson and three other drivers helmed the Number 50 Riley-BMW Dayton Prototype during the race, held at Daytona International Speedway in Florida.

Johnson also used the race as a means to raise funds for families affected by pediatric cancer through a "Highway To Help" texting campaign that took place during the 24 hours surrounding the race. It hasn't been revealed whether the campaign met Johnson's goal of raising $1 million, but a representative for the charity, the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, called it a "huge success."

 

JOURNEY

It looks like Journey guitarist Neal Schon and girlfriend Michaele Salahi will be making out and "rolling around" on a beach in the band's upcoming video. The song, "Resonate," from their latest album, Eclipse, will be released on Valentine's Day (February 14th). In addition to being Schon's current squeeze, Salahi is best known for crashing a White House party with estranged husband Tareq Salahi and a stint on Bravo's The Real Housewives Of D.C.

PEYTON MANNING SAYS HE'S NOT RETIRING

 Tuesday was Super Bowl media day, but headlines were being made by the Manning quarterback brother who's not taking part in the NFL championship game on Sunday. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning -- older brother of New York Giants QB Eli Manning -- denied rumors that he's considering retirement, saying, "I have no plans on doing that." The 35-year-old Manning, who had a third neck operation in September, said, "My plan hasn't changed. "I'm on track with what the doctors have told me to do, and I'm doing that. I'm rehabbing hard." The four-time league MVP hasn't played in more than a year because of a damaged nerve that caused weakness in his throwing arm. He had neck surgery in May, then underwent his third and most invasive neck surgery in 19 months in September, forcing him to miss the season.

 

DIVORCED MEN MORE LIKELY THAN WOMEN TO REMARRY

 Men are more than twice as likely to want to get married again after a divorce -- with 47 percent looking for a new wife. The new study shows that men are much more likely to get over a stressful and complicated break-up than women. Just 20 percent of female divorcees say they want to tie the knot a second time. Georgina Chase, divorce lawyer with Russell Jones & Walker Family Law said: 'My experience as a divorce lawyer is that women are a lot more cautious about remarrying once they have been divorced. Men, however, appear very keen post-divorce to find a new girlfriend and often that girlfriend wants the security of marriage and will push for it.' (Daily Mail)

 

UNFRIEND FINDER IS A HIT

 A new browser add-on alerts Facebook users the instant that someone on their friends list 'unfriends' them and also alerts users when someone rejects or ignores a friend request. The Unfriend Finder add-on has been downloaded 44 million times. Users see a red counter in their menu bar which comes up '-1' the second someone unfriends them - a dig at Facebook's logo for adding friends, which is a '+1'. Facebook itself does not alert people when you click to 'unfriend' them, and it's become normal for people to do so stealthily.

 

BREAKUP MYTHS AND TRUTHS (YourTango.com)

#1 Comfort food. Romantic comedies and sitcoms have us assuming that a pint of Ben & Jerry's -- or some other fully-loaded ice cream -- is a woman's top choice for post-dumping indulgence. But such is not the case, according to our survey. Ladies actually turn to wine when reeling from a break-up; chocolate came in second as the comfort food of choice, with healthy food, salty food and ice cream following behind.

#2 Speaking of food... With all of that snacking, it's easy to assume weight gain comes with breakup territory. But only seven percent of those surveyed say they put on a few pounds after a split. Rather, 35 percent say they are motivated to hit the gym and/or start a new diet. Makes sense, as 84 percent agree that breaking up with someone can be a good opportunity for self-improvement.

#3 Ex sex? No thanks. No need for one last sexual hurrah with a former lover -- a whopping 81 percent agreed that ex sex is always a bad idea. The best way to heal (aside from a technology "break up," that is)? Most say spend time with friends, exercise and go shopping are surefire routes to recovery.

#4 Let's still be friends. It may seem rash to unfriend an ex after a breakup -- especially if the split was "mutual" or "friendly." But the problem with staying friends on Facebook and Twitter? Knowing when your ex has fallen for someone new. More than 75 percent of respondents agreed that if you feel the sting of jealousy when you realize your ex has moved on, it's likely because you're not over him. Speaking of getting over him, 55 percent say it typically takes months to do so. So, the notion that going from lovers to friends soon after a breakup is a good idea? Eh, not so much. Taking some time apart, physically, emotionally and digitally, seems to be the better method.

#5 How NOT to get over an ex. Respondents reported "talking it through with the ex," "eating" and "having ex sex" as the least effective means of moving on from a relationship. Noted!

 

Thanks for listening to The Eagle while you work. Keep it fabulous, Houston!
