CELEBRATING A MILLION AND A HALF VISITORS TODAY!
February 21, 2010
I want to thank everyone who visited Artie Wayne on the Web and brought the total visitors to over a million and a half!
This site is devoted to music of the sixties to the present, our evolving pop culture, and whatever might be spinning around in my head at the time. I’ve always enjoyed turning people on and pissing people off and now I have my own forum to spread the word on the internet. In addition to that, over the past year I’ve used the power of blogging against the tyranny of some music business accounting practices, social network scamming, and the blatant disregard of consumer rights!
For example, for weeks I’d been calling and complaining to Time-Warner cable for sending me picture and sound out of synch’, which forced me to watch “Dancing With The Stars” with everyone dancing off beat. As soon as I blogged about the problem and threatened to upload video tapes of what I was experiencing to YouTube, within six hours the problem was corrected…as my friend Paul Williams once said, “We’ve Only Just Begun”.
I hope you’ll continue to drop by to be informed, enlightened, and hopefully entertained.
Regards, Artie Wayne https://artiewayne.wordpress.com/about-artie-wayne/

Congrats, Artie! I’m convinced your blog was instrumental in getting Ellie Greenwich (posthumously) and Jeff Barry inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thank you.

Artie, IF we had had more time, most of us would have pushed you past 2 mil by now! Time is the thing no one seems to have anymore. Back in the good old days, things went so much slower, but we would not have known you were here, either! Thanks for being a good friend over these past years! Clark Besch

Thanks, Wayne, for your sinsightful stories behind some of the greatest hits of our time and the remarkable people who wove the musical magic.
February 23, 2010 at 2:22 am
A typo there — should have read “insightful” — although I guess there was some sin behind some of them!
February 23, 2010 at 3:56 am
I’m so pleased for you and for those of us who enjoy your blog so much. I’m proud to know you and to have had the honor of know you.
Best always,
Warren

I so appreciate your ability to bring back the many incredible and wonderful memories of our good times…when spinning records made the world go round.
Big warm hug and love to you,

Boy, that third half-million happened quickly! Are you sure you’re not doctoring the counter?!?
Seriously, Artie, you’re doing great! Onward and upward! We’re never too old (or too young) to rock & roll! (OK, maybe too young once in a while….!)
All the best always,
Country Paul
February 23, 2010 at 4:57 am

Hey Artie,
The Andy Rooney of Rock? No!
Perhaps the Pied Piper of Rock or the Steve Jobs of Rock (Always coming up with something new).
Your subjects are always unique and irresistible.
Well done Artie,
Paul
February 25, 2010 at 12:11 am
Hey Artie,
Congratulations! Keep the memories coming! Love it!

Artie,
It seems we just celebrated the 1,ooo,ooo mark. You’re going a record speed. How wonderful!! So proud to know you and to have worked with you.
Much love,
Jean
February 26, 2010 at 2:43 am
Hey Artie,
I love to listen to Andy Rooney but he doesn’t know half the stuff you do. When I grow up, I hope my website attracts at least a fraction of the hits you’re enjoying and I’ll call mine a success. Great info you’re sending out. Mazel Tov.

Maybe I’m a little late in saying this, but good on you! Reading your stories just blows my mind! Always always a delight!
February 26, 2010 at 6:27 pm
It is an honor to be on your long list of a cast of characters.
You have touched so many music/celebrity icons in a lifetime of musical memories.
“Keep The Ball Rollin'” Artie, you are worlds oldest ‘TeenyBopper’

Artie,
I know I dont comment much but I do read your blog all of the time and I love the stories you have to tell.
Please dont stay out of commission long because you are the best. Get well!
March 30, 2010 at 4:43 pm
That’s like going platinum-and-a-half. Or going platinum + gold? Either way, BRAVO.
Feel better soon.
March 30, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Congratulations, Artie. 1,500,000 is a lot of people. Keep up the great work. Lesley
March 30, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Artie, You get those hits because you’re a consummate story teller and because we can track your personal history in tandem with the history of rock and roll. You were there, you’re honest about both your failures and triumphs. You da man! Proud to be your friend.
Much love
John
March 30, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Artie, Sorry you won’t be giving us the finger for a while!
Feel better! ;-}

Hey, good buddy – have a quick and total recovery!
March 30, 2010 at 6:27 pm
Take care of yourself Cousin Wayne. I hope you’re back in action soon:) We need your blog!
March 30, 2010 at 6:33 pm
Hi Artie, Always enjoy reading your site. By the way, they have these programs where you talk into a mic and it translates what you say into text, so you don’t have to use your finger. Of course, what comes out as text is nothing close to what you said.
March 30, 2010 at 6:50 pm
Hi
Artie…Maybe its time to get one of those voice-activated machines, so all you have to do is speak to your computer and it goes up on your blog.
Will miss your take on the events of our lives, but I’m sure your finger will heal and you’ll be back banging it out soon.
Meanwhile, happy Passover to your Jewish half, and a lovely Easter to the rest of you.
Love,
Bobbi
March 30, 2010 at 7:03 pm
Hi Artie:
Congratulation! I hope you are on the mend
shortly.
I always enjoy checking out your site.
I wish you a very speedy recovery.
Best,
Mary
March 30, 2010 at 9:34 pm
GEE!!You’re supposed to slit your WRIST, not your finger!!Who will I harrass until you get better???
March 30, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Hi Artie, Congrats on a million and a half. Once your finger heals, who knows maybe you’ll double your record. Happy Spring, Peggy/The Angels
March 31, 2010 at 1:44 am
Jeez!!! I remember when we were talking about only a million visitors!!! Congrats, Artissimo. I knew you’d get here. Love and Peace,

Artie,
Congrats on the great success of your blog..YOU have no
idea all the great information you have imparted about
the music biz! I love reading all about it and your adventures, things that happened and all the people
you have interacted with….
Looking forward to more “stuff!”
Best,
Steve Owen (Steveo)

Well, Artie, what can I say that hasn’t already been said, and said better? Congrats on one-and-a-half million, here’s to two-and-two-half million soon, and hope your thumb heals up quick.
April 2, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Artie I don’t know how you do it. Are you sure there aren’t three of you?!
Keep on keepin’ on,

I’m not sure exactly why but this web site is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later
on and see if the problem still exists.
