NYC Homecoming Concert Recap: Thunderstorms Cut the Event Short, But Santana, Jennifer Hudson and More Still Dazzled
The We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert, an evening meant to symbolize celebration and hope, ended on a bummer of a note at Central Park on Saturday night (August 21st). Hurricane Henrí’s encroachment proved to be too much for the event, and soon after the concert’s halfway point, the show was cancelled due to hazardous weather conditions. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio had hyped it as “one of the greatest Central Park concerts in history,” which might have been true, had it actually finished. As the night wore on, more and more grey clouds loomed, adding to the anxiety of the evening. For many, it was hard not to think about the grave reality we still face with the surge of the Delta variant of COVID-19. Despite the entire crowd being fully vaccinated, the underlying implications of p...

Controversial SCORPIONS Album Cover Removed From Swedish Online Marketplace
According to Aftonbladet, a SCORPIONS album advertisement classified as child pornography ran for 24 hours on Tradera, popular online marketplace and classifieds site from Sweden, before being removed. Back in 2015, a Swedish court ruled that an image of a naked girl on the SCORPIONS‘ 1976 album “Virgin Killer” found at the home of a 53-year-old pedophile’s home could be considered pornographic material.
