Chris Rock Blames Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats for Pandemic
Despite being a man-child prone to trivial temper tantrums, Donald Trump has remained mostly untouchable during his presidency, never once taking the fall for one of his many blunders. Late last year, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats tried to hold him accountable in a grand impeachment process. However, for all its bells and whistles, their attempt ultimately went nowhere. Now, in a new interview, Chris Rock has criticized Pelosi for focusing too much attention on Trump’s impeachment hearings instead of on the deadly coronavirus, which began taking hold in late February/early March. Trump, a child-like mouthpiece for the GOP, was not worth the time and effort, contends Rock, who went on to directly blame Pelosi and her fellow Democratic politicians for letting the pandemic rava...

Dr. Dre’s Estrange Wife Says He “Expelled” Her From Home, Hiding Assets
Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN Dr. Dre‘s divorce from his estranged wife, Nicole Young, is only getting uglier. According to Young, the Hip-Hop producer “expelled” her from their home and has been hiding assets so she can’t get her hands on all the money she is seeking. According to court docs, Dre kicked his wife out and soon started moving money around. Per the New York Daily News: Dre — born Andre Romelle Young — “forced” Nicole to leave their home April 2 “after a night of Andre’s alcohol induced, brutal rage” which included him telling his wife of 24-years to “get the f–k out,” the filing states. It says Dre then “secretly” transferred his highly valuable “Dr. Dre” and “The Chronic” trademarks to a “new entity” on April 27, thereby denying her “equal ownership” after “years of dominati...

BIOHAZARD’s BILLY GRAZIADEI Teams Up With Two Teachers On CRU SOX Sock Company
Throughout the early 1990s, Boston-born/New York-raised Billy Graziadei was forging a path of change with his band BIOHAZARD. On a quest to make the world a better place, one song at a time, the band would eventually become well known for its socially conscious lyrics. In due course, Graziadei formed another band, POWERFLO, with CYPRESS HILL singer Sendog, and not soon after, branched out with his own solo career as BILLYBIO. In a parallel universe, there was a 15-year-old, Edward Davis, mowing lawns in Southern Illinois while listening to BIOHAZARD‘s “State Of The World Address” on his yellow Walkman. Music was always a huge motivator for Davis to power through daily life, and he can distinctly remember blasting the “Judgment Night” track by BIOHAZARD and ONY...

MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson spoke to the “Thunder Underground” podcast about what the band’s latest addition, drummer Dirk Verbeuren, has added to the MEGADETH sound on the upcoming follow-up to 2016’s “Dystopia” album. He said (hear audio below): “[Dirk‘s] amazing, man. One of the things about Dirk, probably more than any other drummer, he really… Obviously, he’s great at [playing] the current stuff. When you come into MEGADETH at this point, man, you’ve got some pretty serious legacy to cover and to really do it well. “We’ve had some great musicians in the band, for sure, but Dirk is a guy who fundamentally channels his inner Gar Samuelson [late MEGADETH drummer].
