MUSCLE SHOALS

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bono, and Steve Winwood, are among the many legendary artists appearing in the new documentary, Muscle Shoals, which will premiere this year at the Sundance Film Festival. Rolling Stone reported that the doc, directed by Greg "Freddy" Camalier, chronicles Rick Hall's legendary FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, in Alabama, which featured arguably the hottest studio band of its time -- the Swampers.

Just prior to their infamous Altamont concert in December 1969, the Rolling Stones recorded three tracks at Muscle Shoals -- "Brown Sugar," "You Gotta Move," and "Wild Horses" -- all of which appeared on the band's 1971 set, Sticky Fingers. As Jagger says in the trailer "Being there does inspire you to do it slightly differently. It was really funky; y'know, that was the whole idea of it."

Among the legendary acts that recorded at Muscle Shoals and FAME include, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Canned Heat, Boz Scaggs, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Otis Redding, Joe Tex, Duane Allman, Tom Jones, Etta James, the Osmonds, and countless others.

THE WHO

Pete Townshend admits that various Who reunions over the years have been more about the bottom line, than the love of the art. Townshend spoke to The Canadian Press while promoting his memoir, Who I Am, and revealed, "You know Roger (Daltrey) would make the call, 'Come on Pete, for heaven's sake I need a bit of money. Come out with me and John (Entwistle).' I would often tell myself I was doing it for the greater good but the reason was quite selfish and that epiphany was quite hard because I realized that what I wanted was still to go into the local restaurant and get the best table. It's that shallow. In a sense, (I wanted) to be respected."

Over the past dozen or so years, Townshend has seemingly been enjoying himself far more being a member of the Who than he did during the band's last stand in the late-'70s and '80s -- particularly with the band's new live revival of Quadrophenia: "This is something that I wanted to do, this is something I've been urging Roger to join me in for a long time. It's not kind of worked out quite as I expected, it's a bit more rock n' roll than I expected but that's OK, too."

Townshend, who's now 67, spoke about partaking nightly in a young man's game, explaining, "It doesn't matter about growing old -- what matters is about still being current. Still being relevant. Still being able to do a really, really great show. Even if you're playing old songs. Roger and I go on with the band, there's no question the Who blow most bands away and we still do. I don't know how we do, but we do."

Pete Townshend recalled one of the instances when Who have been guilty of reuniting for less than organic and creative reasons during the band's 1989 25th anniversary tour: "Y'know, the fact was at the time, the Who, as a band as we'd known it in the past had kind of come apart. We were just three floating figures, and we felt that we were coming together under a brand name. And Roger (Daltrey) and I have a sense of this today. But since John (Entwistle)'s departure, we haven't been so acutely uncomfortable about it."

JIMI HENDRIX

Seven songs from the upcoming Jimi Hendrix album will appear on Sunday night's (January 20th) episode of CBS' cop drama, Hawaii Five-0, according to Gibson.com. The tracks, which were among the tunes Hendrix left unfinished at the time of his 1970 death, are part of the new posthumous collection, People, Hell, & Angels, set for release on March 5th. The Hendrix songs featured in Sunday night's episode are: "Bleeding Heart," "Mojo Man," "Hey Gypsy Boy," "Inside Out," "Crash Landing," "Hear My Train A Comin'" and "Somewhere."

Hendrix's step-sister, Janie L. Hendrix, President/CEO of Experience Hendrix LLC, posted about the album on JimiHendrix.com, saying, "We're thrilled to be able to release People, Hell & Angels, during the celebration of the 70th anniversary of my brother's birth. The brilliance of the album serves to underscore what we've known all along: that there has never been and never will be a musical force equal to his and that we cherish and take inspiration of what he left us both now and for many generations to come. . . simply eternity."

Janie Hendrix said that she's astonished at the amount of new Hendrix film and recordings are discovered each year. She's even gone on record saying that at this point, the archives have another 10 years worth of releases ready to go. She was asked if she's been amazed at not only the amount of footage and recordings that have lasted throughout the years -- but how many are in perfect condition: "Yeah, I have been. And it's like when we were working on Woodstock, and then after we discovered some black and white footage that, well, we didn't think existed -- a student had filmed it. Also, not too long ago we discovered the Miami Pop film footage and it was in pristine condition. And you find that tape has survived and we're able to put out more releases because of that."

EIGHT PEOPLE YOU SHOULD NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH ON FACEBOOK(The Stir):

1) Your Babysitter/Nanny: I don't need to see her in a bikini and feel bad about myself. Also, it would only make me paranoid: Is she is Facebooking when with my kids? Also, if we were friends on Facebook, I wouldn't spew about her to my friends with privacy. What fun is that?

2) Personal Trainer: Nope. He doesn't need to know I ate that whole cheesecake and derailed his work. Better we just hang in the gym, thanks!

3) Your Priest or Rabbi: They don't need to see our sins. Or photos of us in bathing suits. Or anything our friends tag us in. Just no.

4) Your Husband's Ex-Girlfriend: This should be obvious, but in case it's not, this is a big no. Why do you ever need to go down that comparison spiral? Is she cuter than me? Is she smarter? Is her new hubby hotter? Just stop!

5) Your Boss: It's just awkward. Talking about work on Facebook is generally a no-no anyway, but this is a bad idea.

6) Your Insane Ex: This may seem like closure and like a great plan that will make you guys be friends. But it won't. Trust me. He's crazy and he will STILL be crazy after he unfriends you a few weeks from now.

7) Your Baby Daddy/Mama: Too. Much. Drama. I have seen it a million times. Those thinly veiled, passive insults and barbs thrown back and forth in status updates.

8) Your High School Bully: Look, you didn't like him in high school when he was calling you names or pushing you in a locker. So you SURE as hell aren't going to like him now. Even if his life is a mess and it gives you a thrill to be able to watch and mock him, this is just bad news. Hit "ignore" on his request and put high school behind you.

THE BEST AND WORST THINGS ABOUT BEING SICK(The Frisky):

BEST: More cat time. Boo's new favorite thing is to sit square in the middle of my chest when I'm lying on my back, nestle himself right between my boobs, and stare down at my face and purr. It's quite sweet.
WORST: More cat time. Boo's other new favorite thing is to paw at my face if I stop petting him. It's kind of cute ... sort of ...
 

BEST: No responsibilities. It's really hard for me to relax, so even if I'm feeling crappy, a sick day (or two or three) when I don't have to do anything is a welcome respite. My mind never stops churning, but at least it slows down a little bit.
WORST: Feeling homesick for my parents. Dragging myself out of bed to schlep to the deli and buy toilet paper totally made me miss being a kid and having my mom or dad take care of me when I wasn't feeling well. I saw an old man on the street and felt weirdly homesick for my dad all of a sudden.
 

BEST: Ice cream counts as dinner. I had a pretty righteous sore throat and the only thing that felt good on it was Haagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream.
WORST: That thing where you realize the only thing you ate yesterday was Haagen-Dazs ice cream. I'm not a dieter, but I am trying to eat more healthfully in the new year, and um, so much for that. (So far.)
 

BEST: NyQuil. I freaking love NyQuil. I love it so much that I'm pretty sure I was dependent on it to sleep for a period of time my senior year of college. That deep, syrupy sleep is hands-down the best sleep I ever get.
WORST: Weaning myself off NyQuil. Getting used to falling asleep with the aid of NyQuil is no good. You can't drink it forever. I mean, I guess you could, but then no one would want to kiss you because you'd have fake grape breath.

FIVE WAYS TO BEAT EVERY RELATIONSHIP PITFALL(Men's Health):

1) Tell the Truth to Beat the Blues. Telling the truth is good for your health - honest! Recent research from the University of Notre Dame found that people who told fewer lies had fewer mental health and physical complaints than liars. Been fibbing your way through everything lately? Start small by picking out facts she'll want to hear, says dating and flirting expert Tracey Steinberg. For example, if happy hour turned into happy hours (and hours), own up to the drinks, but state the positives: you got home pretty early, you did some networking, and you got a great night's sleep.

2) Smile to Get Through an Argument. Say something dumb? Flash your teeth. Ladies are more likely to rely on body language (i.e. your smile) than on what they hear (that stupid thing you just said), according to a study in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. The reason: Smiling is the single most important cue for friendliness and safety, says Patti Wood, author of Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma.

3) Compliment Her for a Happier Marriage. Small things add up in the long haul, according to a 25-year study of 373 married couples funded by the National Institute of Health. The research found that couples who gave regular affective affirmations were the happiest. Your move: Tell her she looks great in her new jeans, or send her an email out of the blue to show her she's appreciated.

4) Do Your Chores for More Sex. We know you don't want to vacuum, but what if we told you it'd help you get some? Research from Montclair State University found that the sexual frequency in 7,000 couples increased 0.06 percent a year for every one-percent increase in weekly housework that men handled. Translation? If you do double the housework, you'll have sex 60-percent more often. Score!

5) Double Date to Reignite the Flame. Buddying up with other couples can help strengthen your own relationship, according to research from the University of Maryland. Why? Seeing your lady being social at her best can make her more attractive and reveal new aspects of her personality. One-on-one time with another couple also gives you an example of what to strive for (the way they can read each other) and what to avoid (the way they fight), according to the study.

 SEVEN REASONS WOMEN DON'T DATE "NICE" GUYS(The Stir):

1) You say "nice" like it's a threat. Someone who goes around touting his "former niceness" -- which got him NOWHERE DAMMIT -- and simultaneously bragging about his morphing into an asshole is really doing only one thing: blaming his jerk-ness on YOU. Yes, it's all your fault that he's a jerk! When he wasn't, no one paid him any attention. Wahh!

2) You think saying you're "nice" is enough. You've done nothing -- absolutely nothing -- to offer up any proof that you're a nice guy. You haven't yet paid for one dinner, opened one door, or offered to cat sit even once. But you go on and on about how "nice" you are. Just because you say it doesn't make it so.

3) You use the term "friendzone." If you can't be friends with a woman without resenting it because you're not in the "bonezone", then you're going to make a lousy partner.

4) You think being nice means you don't beat women. Your standards of what "nice" is means one thing -- you're not beating us. I know guys who cheat and lie up a storm but are always talking about how "nice" they are -- because, I guess, they do all that without raising their voices.

5) You think saying you're "nice" means we have to sleep with you. A not-entirely-surprising amount of men on the OKCupid blog said they think there are circumstances under which a woman is "obligated" to sleep with them. Yet they also described themselves as "nice." Nice guys don't think being nice means they automatically get a roll in the hay.

6) You're unemployed, live with your parents, and have numerous other issues. But, really, it's just because you're "nice" that we don't want to date you.

7) You describe yourself as "too nice." Major red flag. Run.

WAYS TO AVOID PUTTING YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH(Your Tango):

1) Slow Down: Being impatient diminishes the amount of information you have at hand, which leads to uninformed or ill-informed comments. You haven't demonstrated complete interest in someone else; you've taken over control of their speech. You're seen as self-centered, rude, brainless and uncaring. Men report that women talk too much; men say that's the reason they don't listen. Whatever the cause, look for the speaker to to shut down, and become disinterested in you as a conversation partner.

2) Pay Attention: It is nothing short of insulting when the listener doesn't appear to be listening. The oops can be verbal or non-verbal: eyes looking elsewhere instead of making contact with the speaker; paying attention to their own task while saying they're listening; saying something irrelevant to the conversation. I cringe every time I look at a picture taken at a business function where one of the guys I'm talking to is looking around the room, not at me. When that happens to you pay attention to how you feel; I guarantee you won't do it to anyone else.

3) Stop Assuming: Unless your crystal-ball is in good working order, acknowledge you don't know everything. Take in what your environment is really about; those who assume don't. The result includes finishing other people's sentences, interrupting with comments that go in the wrong direction, misinterpreting what's really being said. Women pull out their crystal balls when they complain that their partners don't talk to them, or even listen in the first place. The assumption that a partner's thoughts, and especially feelings, are being purposely withheld. The result can lead to a rift between partners that is about far more than what the topic of conversation was. Want a clue? Look for a surprised or confused look from the speaker.

4) When in Doubt: People are generally uncomfortable with dead air. If you doubt that's true, pay attention to your comfort level when the radio or TV. looses sound. In fact, there is no rule that says that air must be filled with someone always saying something. For some of us the tendency to chatter takes hold, resulting in poor or unconsidered statements. When in doubt, zip it.

5) Apologize Sincerely: There are times when everything you've done has turned out wrong. Your enthusiasm leads to interruptions, identifying so much with the speaker's topic you take over. Other times your disinterest may show. Or you fail to edit yourself: what comes up, comes out. There are so many examples, I'm sure everyone can think of a cringe-worthy moment. Whether or not you're responsible, tune immediately into the speaker. Be truly sincere when you say how sorry you are you've caused confusion or distress. People generally react warmly to someone who really cares how they feel. Don't make it long and drawn out and be light-hearted if you can. Whatever you do, don't put blame out there somewhere. Accept responsibility and be sincere about it.

6) Be Yourself: I'm an inveterate talker because I'm so curious. I know, too, that when I get nervous I talk too much. Two thousand feet down in the Molly Kathleen gold mine, you couldn't shut me up; the tour guide finally stopped acknowledging me at all and my husband pretended like he didn't know me. When I tuned in to their non-verbal responses to me, I knew to be quiet.

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