Metallica’s Streaming Benefit Concert and Auction Raises Over $1.3 Million
Metallica raised over $1.3 million and counting with their recent streaming benefit show and auction. The event was so successful, the streaming window has been extended through 11:00 p.m. PT on December 1st. Proceeds go toward the band’s charitable All Within My Hands Foundation. This year, the annual “Helping Hands” concert saw Metallica in both acoustic and electric form, performing to a virtual audience of thousands. Audience members appeared on screens behind the band, providing an extra level of entertainment for fans watching from home. We caught the streaming show and came away impressed, as it mixed in some nice surprises among the band’s classic hits. Metallica are certainly more than comfortable performing in front of the camera and staying active during the pandemic. ...
The Weeknd Shut Out of All Grammy Categories
After Hours is the best full-length album of The Weeknd‘s career, and this year “Blinding Lights” has been about as ubiquitous as photons. Many observers expected a slew of Grammy nods for the artist born Abel Tesfaye, so when the nominations were announced earlier today, it came as a shock when he was shut out entirely. As Variety points out, there are a few possible explanations. First, perhaps The Weeknd’s representatives at Republic Records forgot to submit his music for consideration. Granted, they successfully handled Taylor Swift’s paperwork, helping her on the way to five nominations, but it’s conceivable. Another possibility is that the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing; that the R&B committee considered him pop, the pop committee figured he counted...
Obama Gives Drake His Blessing to Play Him in a Movie
Barack Obama just turned 59 years old, but he’s already lived one hell of a life. Remember when he won the Nobel Peace Prize, was nominated for an Oscar, hung out with celebrities like Beyonce and JAY-Z, and, duh, was the US President for eight historic years? A man like that is bound to be immortalized in film more than once. So Obama has spared casting directors the stress by officially giving Drake his blessing to portray him in a movie. That coveted seal of approval was revealed during Obama’s recent interview on 360 With Speedy Morman. After being asked by the Complex News host about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the drawn-out 2020 election, and his opinion on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 44th POTUS was given some time to riff on more light-hearted topics. That’s when Morman pose...
