Woman Sues Gene Simmons Over VH1 Sex Talk 9 minutes ago Television - AP By The Associated Press NEW YORK - A woman who says she is a former girlfriend of KISS rocker Gene Simmons (news) is suing him for slander, saying the bass guitarist made her sound like a "sex-addicted nymphomaniac" during a "rockumentary" on VH-1 television. Georgeann Walsh Ward, 53, of Chester, N.Y., says in court papers that a photo of her appeared 11 times during the report on KISS, shown on the network several times in July and August, while Simmons claimed to have had sexual encounters with 4,600 women. In the documentary, "When KISS Ruled The World," Simmons commented that "there wasn't a girl that was off limits, and I enjoyed every one of them," court papers say. Ward's papers say that because a photo of her with Simmons was shown during remarks about his sexual adventures, she was in effect portrayed as "wild" and "unchaste." "The implication was that (Ward) was a prostitute and/or solicited prostitutes, and/or (she was) a sexually loose woman," court papers say. Ward, married with a 21-year-old son, said she met Simmons at a concert in October 1972 when she was 21. For the next three years through fall of 1975, she says in court papers, they were in what she believed was "an exclusive, monogamous, romantic relationship." During much of the time they were together, Ward's court papers say, Simmons was a college student and then a sixth-grade teacher "until the success of KISS propelled him out of the classroom and out of plaintiff's life." Ward's lawsuit, filed Thursday, asks for unspecified damages from Simmons and from Viacom, VH-1's parent company, for alleged defamation and invasion of privacy. Laura Nelson, spokeswoman for Viacom, said she could not comment on pending litigation. No spokesperson for Simmons could be reached for comment.
Doors Manager, Biographer Sugerman Dies in L.A. Fri Jan 7, 1:11 AM ET Entertainment - Reuters LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Doors manager Danny Sugerman, who befriended the members of the legendary Los Angeles rock band as a youngster and spent the rest of his life tending to its legacy, has died after a battle with lung cancer, associates said on Thursday. He was 50. Sugerman, who died at his home on Wednesday, was responsible for reigniting interest in the band with the best-selling 1980 Doors memoir "No One Here Gets Out Alive," which he co-wrote with veteran music journalist Jerry Hopkins. He also served as a technical advisor on Oliver Stone's 1991 movie "The Doors," which starred Val Kilmer as the group's magnetic late frontman, Jim Morrison. "Danny is standing side-by-side with his great friend, Jim Morrison, and the two of them will now be laughing together into eternity," Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek said in a statement. "Danny was the No. 1 Doors fan of the world," Doors drummer John Densmore (news) told Reuters. "I told him no one loved Jim as much as he did." Indeed, Sugerman stated in his Doors book, "My personal belief is that Jim Morrison was a god." The Doors, famed for such tunes as "Light My Fire" and "Riders on the Storm," enjoyed a wild heyday in the late 1960s. Sugerman went along for the ride, hooking up with the band when he was 14 after seeing them play a show. He answered fan mail, compiled a scrapbook, and then Morrison suggested putting him on the payroll as a management associate. He went on to manage the affairs of Densmore, Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger after Morrison died of heart failure in 1971. Densmore, who visited Sugerman shortly before he died, said he had been sick for some years. "Cigarettes took him out," he added. Sugerman is survived by his wife, Fawn Hall, who testified against her former boss Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s, and by a brother and sister.
Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin--who amazingly never won a competitive Grammy--lead the list of recipients of this year's Lifetime Achievement Grammys the Recording Academy announced Tuesday. Despite selling over 100 million records worldwide over the course of their careers and being enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, neither Zeppelin nor Joplin ever received Grammy recognition. It wasn't until 1998 that Zep vocalist Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page finally got some hardware for Best Hard Rock Performance for their "Most High." All they had to do was ask us classic rock fans..... :)

While filming the documentary "Let It Be," the Beatles gave what would be their last performance together as a group in a spontaneous concert on the rooftop of Apple Studios. On March 12, Paul McCartney married American photographer Linda Eastman. On March 20, John Lennon tied the knot with Japanese artist Yoko Ono. Shortly after, American officials seized copies of Johns and Yoko's "Two Virgins" album, which showed the couple naked on the cover. Jim Morrison was arrested in Miami for allegedly exposing himself onstage during a Doors concert. Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker joined with Stevie Winwood and Rick Grech to form Blind Faith. 1969 saw some of the greatest music festivals of all time. The Newport '69 Festival featured performances by Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Rascals, the Byrds, Joe Cocker, Ike & Tina Turner, Jethro Tull, and Johnny Winter. The Isle of Wight festival in England was headlined by Bob Dylan, and included appearances by the Who, Yes, King Crimson, the Band, Donovan, the Doors, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, John Sebastian and the Moody Blues. It was Britain's most legendary festival. Pehaps the most famous festival was Woodstock. Held on Yasgur's Farm in Bethel, New York, over 400,000 gathered for three days of peace, love and music. An all-star line-up included Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Canned Heat, The Who, Sly & the Family Stone, Joe Cocker, Santana, Joan Baez, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Ritchie Havens, Ravi Shankar, Blood Sweat & Tears, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Ten Years After, The Band and John Sebastian. Woodstock was documented on film and made into a movie, preserving forever the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of a generation. The Rolling Stones' Brian Jones left the band and was replaced by Mick Taylor. Jones drowned in his swimming pool shortly thereafter. Just three months after Woodstock, the Rolling Stones held their own free concert at the Altamont Raceway in California. It featured appearances by Jefferson Airplane, CSN&Y and Santana. What started out as another festival of peace and good vibes ended in tragedy when the Hell's Angels gang, acting as security for the concert, stabbed and killed a fan as "protection for the band." The gruesome spectacle was captured on film in the movie "Gimme Shelter." Altamont heralded the beginning of the end of the rock festival phenomenon, and signified the premature end of innocence for the Woodstock generation. John and Yoko held their bed-ins for peace in Amsterdam and Toronto. Neil Young joined supergroup Crosby Stills and Nash. The Beach Boys sued Capitol Records for $2,000,000 in unpaid royalties. "Paul is Dead" rumors began to circulate due to newspaper stories alleging that references to Paul's death could be found in clues scattered amongst various album covers and song lyrics.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Technicians at Sweden's public television have unearthed an unexpected delight for music lovers — a complete original recording of a Jimi Hendrix concert in Stockholm from 1969 on a tape long thought to have been destroyed. The unmarked tape was recently found stashed on a shelf deep inside the station's enormous archives during a project to transfer archived material from tape and film to digital, SVT spokeswoman Catarina Wilson said Friday. "They looked through the tape and found it had some Jimi Hendrix," Wilson said. "Then they saw it had a lot of Jimi Hendrix — the entire concert, which is what makes this tape unique." The black-and-white recording from Stockholm's concert hall was ordered destroyed by a producer in 1969, a time when it was too expensive to keep all raw footage, Wilson said. Hendrix died in 1970. Wilson said it was likely that one of the state-run network's workers, perhaps a Hendrix fan, stashed it on the shelf, where it sat for 35 years gathering dust. Part of the 56-minute concert was broadcast on SVT in 1969, before the Jimi Hendrix Experience disbanded, but it has never been shown in its entirety. SVT is determining if it still has the rights to show the entire broadcast of the concert. "Of course we realize that this is great material that we would love to show," Wilson said. ___ On the Net: http://www.jimihendrix.comnews from: AP Wire
