JENNINGS: Twisted Sister's not going to take retirement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this year, Twisted Sister announced a return to the stage, with Sebastian Bach handling lead vocal duties. Longtime frontman Dee Sniderâs announcement that he could no longer tour for health reasons seemed like the end of the road for the band. Still, for founding member and guitarist Jay Jay French, it presented an opportunity to add another chapter to the groupâs five decades of history. Twisted Sister will be at Fallsview Casino on Thursday, Oct. 8. When I spoke to French a few we
JENNINGS: Clock is ticking on rock's dream reunions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore recently ended a decade-long estrangement from his Deep Purple bandmates. On Aug. 12, Blackmore joined Deep Purple for their encore, âSmoke on the Water.â It was his first appearance with Deep Purple since 1993. As more baby boomer-era bands and artists are coming to the twilight of their careers, there has been an uptick in health-related cancellations and core members being replaced due to death or illness.

The duo produced 16 top-10 singles in the U.S., including six that reached number one. They sold millions of records and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

JENNINGS: Dolly left us with more than music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was getting ready to write my weekly column when it came across my news feed that Dolly Parton had passed away. While I donât pretend to be a massive fan of Dollyâs, itâs impossible to ignore the impact she had on pop culture and music. Back in 2016, Parton was on her first major tour in decades. My friends tipped me off at Artpark that Dolly would be opening the 2016 season. As thrilled as I was, my wife was over the moon to have the chance to see the music legend. Thom Jennings writes
