STATIC-X’s TONY CAMPOS Says SLAYER’s KERRY KING Told Him How To Grow His Beard
During an appearance on the latest episode of “Ned’s Coffee & Quarantine”, which airs on Iowa’s Rock 108 radio station, STATIC-X bassist Tony Campos was asked when the last time was that he had a clean-shaven face. He responded (see video below): “As far as the beard, I think I started growing it in ’97, ’98, maybe. Obviously, once I hit puberty, I never had a clean-shaven face — ’cause I always had a moustache — but I shaved the moustache once. It’s funny, ’cause my baby sister had never seen me without my moustache, and I think she was, like, nine or 10 when I said, ‘Fuck it! Let me shave off the moustache.’ And she flipped out, like, ‘What the fuck? Who is this? What did you do to your face?’ And it ...

Source: Stadium Goods / Christie’s Well, someone out there just spent a Galactus sized grip on a pair of OG Air Jordans they can’t possibly rock. Source: Stadium Goods / Christie’s A few weeks ago we reported that Stadium Goods and Christie‘s were about to hold a one-of-a-kind auction featuring all kinds of game-worn Michael Jordan memorabilia and not only did it go all the way down, but it shattered records. After all the bids were in and the smoke cleared, a pair of original game-worn Air Jordan 1’s ended up selling for a staggering $615,000, shattering the record setting sale of $560,000 for a pair of Air Jordan 1’s back in May.

He has openly admitted that he is sabotaging the United States Postal Service by not funding the essential service. Trump revealed denying the USPS the money it needs is a part of his plan to ensure it couldn’t handle the influx of mail-in ballots it will most definitely receive due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “If the [coronavirus] bill isn’t gonna get done, that̵...

Kamal Harris joining Biden’s ticket is paying huge dividends for Biden already, and it’s only been two days. Before the California senator was named Biden’s running mate, it was a painful process to raise money. That is no longer the case, since Tuesday’s (Aug.11) announcement, the Biden/Harris campaign has raised a record $36 million, and that includes donations from 150,000 new donors, and the influx of cash shows no sign of slowing up.
