Godsmack was in the house!

I made it in time for Halestorm, and I’m so glad I did. Traditionally not a fan of female fronted metal bands (I know…a band is a band, regardless of their gender). For me, metal is masculine, and while I’m a woman and wish I loved female singers, I just don’t. However, I loved Lizzy

We are saddened to hear about the loss of Tom George of TAG Publicity. He was one of the first publicist to give MIRP a chance when we first started. Throughout the years we had the pleasure of getting to work with him several times and it was just that, a pleasure. Our condolences go out to his friends and family.

Tom George passed away on Wednesday night December 11 from a massive heart attack.  Tom, along with his wife Tracy own TAG Publicity.  Due to them owning their own business Tom George did not have life insurance so the family needs help with the insurmountable hospital bills accumulating along wit...

ICYMI. Check out Susie's review of the Def Leppard and Journey show!

I remember the first time I heard the sweet sound of Journey. I was 16 and he was 18. I was in love for the first time, and the album was Escape. It was 1982, and we danced in his father’s living room to “Who’s Crying Now.” I loved that song then, and I still
