Here's what we didn't write about this week in Orange County music news. Aside from perhaps Dusty Rhodes, much of the leftover news this week is about old guys. Enjoy!

- Dusty Rhodes and the River Band will
be releasing a new full length album before the end of the year. Alas,
there will be no tour to promote it. The band still intends on breaking
up. [FB]
- Tenacious
D is going to bring their signature “rock opera” to the Blizzcon gaming
convention this weekend. Can Jack Black peel gamers away from World of
Warcraft for a full set? [Culture Mob]
- The
Rhinestone Cowboy rides in to Anaheim this weekend; Glenn Campbell is playing songs written for him by Jakob Dylan and Paul Westerberg at The Grove. Let's call this move Johnny Cashing. [OC Register]
- Jimmy
Buffett proved his merits as a folk musician at his show in Irvine
Thursday to one Soundcheck reviewer. His show was a “fine way to end
the Verizon Wireless Ampetheater's 2010 season.” That's from a guy who says the only thing that would've been better was a Phish show. [OCR]
