Tribute Singer Who Auditioned For AC/DC In 2016 Tells His Story In ‘Beyond The Thunder’ Podcast
What’s it like to stand in the shoes of Brian Johnson, or Bon Scott, for that matter? Season 2 of “AC/DC Beyond The Thunder” podcast asks that very question, exploring a once-in-a-lifetime audition with AC/DC tribute band singer Lee Robinson, just one of four known vocalists to try out for AC/DC. It turns out AC/DC‘s search for a new singer, back when Brian Johnson‘s hearing loss forced him to leave the “Rock Or Bust” tour, did not begin and end with Axl Rose, who was eventually announced as the replacement for Brian on the rockers’ final stadium tour dates. In fact, AC/DC came close to doing what JUDAS PRIEST had done before them, plucking a new frontman from the obscurity of the AC/DC tribute band circuit in the form of Robinson (a.k.a. Bon...

R.I.P. Wilford Brimley, Cocoon and The Natural Actor Dies at 85
Wilford Brimley, the veteran character actor known for films including Cocoon, The China Syndrome, The Thing, and The Natural, who later became a national spokesman for diabetes awareness, has died at the age of 85. TMZ reports that Brimley had been in failing health in recent days and passed away Saturday morning (August 1st) at his home in Utah. Prior to pursing a career in acting, Brimley served in the Marines, and worked as a bodyguard for Howard Hughes, a ranch hand, a wrangler, and a blacksmith. In the late 1960s, at the urging of his friend Robert Duvall, Brimley began pursing work as an extra and stuntman in Westerns.

Live Nation Gets Financial Breathing Room With Changes to Credit Agreement
Live Nation has secured financial breathing room by securing favorable changes to its debt covenants ahead of its second-quarter earnings release on Aug. 5. Although covenants are standard requirements meant to protect the lender from a default, and manageable under normal circumstances, they can be impossible to achieve when a pandemic has crippled many types of businesses, especially live entertainment. The latest example of music companies shoring up debt and credit to weather COVID-19, Live Nation’s covenant revisions provide “additional financial flexibility,” CEO Michael Rapino said in a July 31 press release. That’s an understatement. The new covenants represent pandemic-era mathematical formulas that are critical for a company greatly affected by government safety measures. Music v...
