		<title>REO Speedwagon&#039;s Kevin Cronin Recalls His First Ted Nugent Concert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin has probably been called many things throughout his lengthy career as vocalist for the group, but perhaps “human pogo stick” is an additional title which should be added. Cronin’s energetic and unflagging enthusiasm for the REO mission was evident in the verbally animated conversation that he had with Ultimate Classic Rock about the upcoming ‘Midwest Rock N’ Roll Express’ tour featuring REO Speedwagon, Styx and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>George Harrison&#039;s Swiss Mansion For Sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The taxman may have been taking 95% of George Harrison&#8216;s earnings at one point in time, but that didn&#8217;t stop the Quiet Beatle from amassing enough money to purchase a gorgeous Swiss estate in 2001, which Radar is reporting has recently hit the market over 10 years after Harrison&#8217;s death. The truly sad thing about this story is that Harrison bought the house in July 2001 (he was receiving treatment [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nils Lofgren Says New Songs Will &quot;Evolve&quot; On Bruce Springsteen Tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Touring behind an album that mostly featured other musicians could be a challenge for most bands. In a recent interview, E Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren discussed how Bruce Springsteen&#8216;s side men and women are handling the songs from &#8216;Wrecking Ball&#8216; on their current tour. &#8220;Already the songs have evolved into more of an E Street Band presentation, but they&#8217;re still authentic and true to the spirit of the record,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Steven Tyler Blasts &#039;Idol&#039; Contestant for &#039;Taking the Piss Out&#039; of Billy Joel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was performance night last night (March 21) on &#8216;American Idol,&#8217; and the contestants sang tunes from the Billy Joel songbook. But since so many kids these days don&#8217;t seem to even know who the Beatles are, how many will actually be familiar with him? We shall see. Also, not to give away too much, but Steven Tyler seems ready to shed his &#8220;nice&#8221; label and become the bastard his [...]]]></description>
