TED NUGENT Calls Vaccinated People ‘Stupid’, Likens Them To Sheep (Video)
Ted Nugent has once again said that he won’t take the COVID-19 vaccine because the shots that are available in the United States were developed in less than a year are probably fake. Like antivaccine activists, talk show hosts, and far-right politicians, Ted — who spoke openly about his battle with COVID-19 six months ago — has made the vaccines’ “experimental” nature a talking point. During an October 1 appearance on “Off The Record”, a weekly coverage of Michigan’s governor’s office, the state legislature, the political campaign trail and state government, Ted said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I actually think that the COVID-19 might be a weaponized virus created in Wuhan [China] by Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and [Doctor Ant...
Watch Front-Row Video Of ALICE COOPER’s Nashville Concert
YouTube user Greg Perry has uploaded front-row video of Alice Cooper‘s October 3 performance at the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, Tennessee. Check out the footage below. Alice and his solo band played their first concert in a year and a half on September 17 at Ovation Hall at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Prior to the Atlantic City show, Cooper told Ultimate Classic Rock about returning to the road: “Everyone’s trying to remember where everything is, all the little moves. It’s really just getting your wings back. I think everyone’s just happy to get back on stage — it’s almost to the point of being giddy. It’s just about getting back on the boards and feeling comfortable with the show, and then all of a sudden you go, ‘Oh ye...

Dave Grohl Has “Many Ideas” for Alternative ‘Nevermind’ Album Art
Dave Grohl has revealed that he has thought of “many ideas” for an alternate cover for Nirvana‘s Nevermind album, shortly after Spencer Elden, the baby who appears on the album art, sued the band for child sexual exploitation. The Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer hinted to The Times that while nothing is set in stone, they will hopefully be able to clear this lawsuit. “I have many ideas of how we should alter that cover but we’ll see what happens,” Grohl said. “We’ll let you know. I’m sure we’ll come up with something good.” He added, “I think that there’s much more to look forward to and much more to life than getting bogged down in those kinds of things. And, fortunately, I don’t have to do the paperwork.” In late August, Elden filed a lawsuit against Nirvana, its survivi...
Austin City Limits 2021 Weekend 1 Recap: St. Vincent, Tyler, the Creator, Doja Cat and More Highlights
Some foreboding news arrived Friday morning (October 1st) of Austin City Limits‘ first weekend after two years away: heavy overnight rains in Austin forced organizers to cancel the first two hours of the fest, effectively eliminating most local talent, and push door time back to 3:00 p.m. With the memory of Bonnaroo’s recent cancellation due to flooding from Hurricane Ida still lingering and predictions that more storms were coming, there was a veritable moment of fear that we were witnessing the doom of another fest. And to make matters worse, it would have nothing to do COVID-19 safety, which was handled masterfully (though vaccination and test results checks did cause annoying waits on Day 1) — why the cruel irony, Mother Nature? Why?! Then, in twist of good luck, the torrential downpou...

Snoop Dogg was one of the performers at a fundraiser held by Shaquille O’Neal’s charity on Saturday night, playing a set during which the Long Beach rapper brought Shaq himself on stage to fill in for Dr. Dre on “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang.” “I wanna bring out somebody that means a lot to me. One of my dear friends who I feel like we got in at the same time,” Snoop said before introducing the NBA Hall Famer, who released four rap albums in the 1990s. “We been doing the same things lately and he’s the man of the night. So if you don’t mind, we gon’ do something special for y’all. Never before, never seen, Snoop Dogg and Shaq. Let’s go.” Striding onto the stage in a spiffy maroon sports jacket, Shaq proceeded to admirably take on the classic hip-hop track, which was released on Dr. Dre’s debut ...
Henry Rollins Announces “Good to See You” 2022 North American Tour
Henry Rollins has announced the massive “Good to See You” North American tour, which will see him bring a one-man show on the road for 43 entertaining stops. In recent years, the punk legend and former Black Flag frontman has turned his energies to spoken word, acting, and storytelling. That will continue with the “Good to See You” tour. Via Loudwire, the set will “faithfully recount the events of his life in the brief pre-COVID period since the last tour and when things got even stranger over the last several months,” according to a statement. “It’s been an interesting time to say the least and he’s got some great stories to tell.” The trek kicks off on March 12th in Royal Oak, Michigan. It includes prolonged runs along the east coast and through the south, and while he’ll spend...
R.I.P. Alan Kalter, David Letterman’s Longtime Announcer Dead at 78
Alan Kalter, the longtime announcer of Late Show with David Letterman, has died at the age of 78. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kalter passed away Monday (October 4th) at Stamford Hospital in Connecticut. A cause of death was not immediately made available. Kalter served as the Late Show announcer for 20 years between 1995 and 2015. In addition to announcing each night’s guests during the show’s opening, Kalter frequently appeared in sketches — much to the delight of Letterman. One reoccurring bit saw Kalter concurrently host his own talk show, Alan Kalter’s Celebrity Interview, off to the side of the stage. Kalter was also the keeper of the “Late Show Secret Word,” as well as a renowned singer known for his memorable and impromptu performances of “You Ain’t See Nothing Yet” and “Do...
Pandora Is Shutting Down Next Big Sound
The post characterizes the platform’s closure as “the final step of a multi-year transition,” adding that the Next Big Sound team “is excited to focus on improving and expanding” Pandora’s Artist Marketing Platform (AMP), which provides artists with streaming data around their music on the service.

Next Big Sound adds it is working to ensure that the integration process “is as seamless as possible for all of our users and partners,” noting that full track-level reporting is already available in Pandora’s AMP dashboard.

Nick Cannon Plans to Be Celibate After Welcoming Baby No. 7: ‘Enough Frolicking’
“I’m trying to chill out,” he said. “I’m kind of stepping away, getting focused, going within, getting my celibacy on. I have enough children, enough frolicking, I’m good right now.” When the hosts joked that Cannon isn’t really celibate, he responded, “Nah, y’all said I ain’t really. I’m saying I’m going in.” Last month, the actor told TMZ that he’s open to having more children. When asked if he wants to continue expanding his family, he said, “God willing. If God sees it that way, then that’s what I’m going to keep doing.” Cannon welcomed his eldest children, twins Monroe and Moroccan, with ex-wife Mariah Carey in 2011. He shares 3-year-old son&...
