THE OFFSPRING Guitarist Says RUSH LIMBAUGH Was ‘A Dishonest, Bigoted Hypocrite Who Got Rich By Exploiting People’s Fear’
THE OFFSPRING guitarist Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman is one of many liberal social media users who lambasted radio show titan Rush Limbaugh after it was announced that he died following a battle with cancer. “When Rush Limbaugh had a TV show we had to ask him NOT to use COAP as bumper music,” Noodles tweeted, referring to THE OFFSPRING song “Come Out And Play” from the band’s third album, 1994’s “Smash”. “We did not want to be associated with him in any way. He was a dishonest bigoted hypocrite who got rich by exploiting people’s fear & by dividing the country.” Rush had a long history of making disparaging comments about minority groups, the LGBTQ community, suicide, AIDS patients and women, earning him a reput...
TED NUGENT Says RUSH LIMBAUGH Was ‘One Of The Smartest Guys That Ever Lived’: He ‘Will Remain The Perfect Symbol For America’
Outspoken conservative rocker Ted Nugent is mourning the loss of conservative radio pioneer Rush Limbaugh following news of his death Wednesday at the age of 70. Speaking via Facebook Live video earlier today, Ted said (see below): “What an unbelievable loss we are experiencing today. What a super human being Rush Limbaugh was. Yeah, one of the smartest guys that ever lived. One of the wittiest guys that ever lived. One of the greatest street fighters ever in the media or anywhere. What a truth, logic, common sense, we the people, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, American Dream celebratory patriot Rush Limbaugh was. “It’s perfectly understandable why Rush had the most popular media career in the history of media — because he represented self-evident truth, logic, comm...
JUDAS PRIEST’s RICHIE FAULKNER ‘Sets Record Straight’ Regarding New Flying V Signature Guitar From GIBSON
JUDAS PRIEST‘s Richie Faulkner has “set the record straight” regarding a rumored revival of Epiphone‘s Richie Faulkner Flying V signature model guitar. Earlier this week, Gibson CMO Cesar Gueikian posted an Instagram photo of a new Faulkner prototype guitar, leading to speculation that several aesthetic changes have been made to its its Epiphone predecessor, including the relocation of the JUDAS PRIEST logo from the face of the headstock to the truss rod cover, as well as a new dark blue finish. On Wednesday, Faulkner took to his social media to share a short video of him “introducing” his new Flying V signature models. He said (see video below): “There’s been some rumors lately about a supposed signature-edition flying V from Gibson, so I ju...
Myths – DETRITUS
RATING: 8.5/10 Received wisdom has it that the British thrash metal scene only produced a handful of notable bands. Everybody knows about XENTRIX, SABBAT, ONSLAUGHT and the rest, but despite not exerting a great deal of commercial weight, the UK’s contribution to thrash was much deeper than generally advertised. One album that almost certainly escaped the notice of most was DETRITUS‘s 1990 debut album, “Perpetual Defiance”: an unsung gem from the tail end of the first wave of thrash, but also a highly distinctive opening salvo from a great band with terrible timing. The follow-up, “If But For One” (1993), was a solid effort, too, but history has generally declined to pay respects. Quite what inspired DETRITUS to reconvene and make “Myths” rem...
Mahalia and Rico Nasty Team Up on New Song “Jealous”: Stream
Jamaican-British singer Mahalia has recruited Maryland rapper Rico Nasty for her new single, “Jealous”. Check out the music video below. In the clip, which is directed by Melody Maker and produced by Common People Films, Mahalia and Rico get revenge on an ex by hacking into his smart home. “I was really frustrated at the time with some friends. I was kind of going through this phase of not understanding why I was getting this bad energy from people around me,” Mahalia told BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders about the song. “I think the song, it was kind of me stepping away from that and saying, ‘I’m not going to let this get to me. I’m still going to be the biggest queen I can possibly be in the room.’ It was definitely an empowering song for me to write.” After dropping her pandemic EP, Iso...
Netflix Picks Up Tim Burton’s Wednesday Addams Live-Action Series
Last October, we learned that Tim Burton was in the process of creating a live-action reboot of The Addams Family. It sounded like a shoe-in for the modern master of all things creepy and kooky to give the beloved horror sitcom a 21st century upgrade, and clearly Netflix was sold on the idea. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming service has ordered an eight-episode season of the Burton-directed affair, which is not just an ordinary reboot. Titled Wednesday, the series will be a live-action offshoot of The Addams Family that focuses on the household’s brooding daughter, Wednesday Addams. Netflix’s official synopsis describes the show as such: “A sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday’s years as a student at the peculiar Nevermore Acade...
Paddington 3 is Officially In Development
Hold onto your blue wool jackets and frumpy red hats while you read this news: Paddington 3 is coming. Representatives from Studiocanal have confirmed that a third entry in the beloved Paddington bear franchise is officially in development. In an interview last week with BBC Radio 2’s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, the series’ star Hugh Bonneville cryptically revealed that there was “forward momentum” on the third Paddington film and that it was “somewhere on the horizon” (via Variety). That sort of vague answer could’ve meant anything, but now Variety is reporting that the project is in active development. “We can confirm Studiocanal is working very hard on film 3 with the utmost craft and care — as with film 1 and 2,” representatives said in a statement. That’s al...
Donald Glover Signs Multi-Year Deal with Amazon, Malia Obama Joins His Writing Staff
It looks like that upcoming Mr. and Mrs Smith reboot with Phoebe Waller-Bridge isn’t the only thing Donald Glover has in the works at Amazon Prime. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Glover has signed a multiple-year, eight-figure deal with Amazon — and apparently he’s brought Malia Obama (!) onboard as a staff writer for one of his first projects there. This deal has reportedly been in the works for weeks now. While it’s not official just yet, it’s believed to include a “content channel” that will spotlight Glover’s work and various other productions on Amazon’s Prime Video hub, notes The Hollywood Reporter. The 3.15.20 rapper will also executive produce a handful of other projects for Amazon at large. One of those new projects is already starting to take shape. A potential TV...
It’s a Growth Story: What’s Behind UMG’s Accelerated IPO Plans?
Vivendi could earn about 9 billion euros ($10.9 billion) from the IPO, if it maintains majority ownership by unloading just just under 30% of UMG at the same 30 billion euros ($36.3 billion) valuation used last year when it sold a 20% stake to a consortium led by Chinese tech giant Tencent Corp. At that head-turning 36-times EBTIDA valuation, a multiple often seen in fast-growing tech companies, Tencent “made people take a step back and look at the valuations of music companies,” says Michael Poster, the head of Michelman & Robinson’s corporate and securities department. That’s not an unreasonable valuation: a rapidly-growing streaming market, believed by Goldman Sachs to reach 1.15 billion subscribers...

Kelly Clarkson Sings Us Through ‘Times Like These’ With Foo Fighters Cover
In case you thought Kelly Clarkson couldn’t totally nail a rock song, think again. The singer took on Foo Fighters‘ “Times Like These” for her daytime talk show’s popular “Kellyoke” segment on Wednesday (Feb. 17). As the United States comes up on the one-year anniversary of COVID-19 lockdowns, the lyrics to the 2002 One By One track feel particularly hopeful and uplifting. “It’s times like these you learn to live again / It’s times like these you give and give again / It’s times like these you learn to love again / It’s times like these time and time again,” Clarkson belted in the chorus.
