Live Nation’s Theresa Velasquez Identified as Victim of Florida Condo Collapse
Velasquez was a Los Angeles-based executive for the Live Nation event promotion company. She had flown into Miami to visit her parents at the Surfside condo, both of whom also died in the collapse. “Theresa was an impassioned leader at Live Nation, who elevated every project she was part of, at the same time breaking down barriers for women, and the LGBTQIA+ community,” the company said in a statement. “We will always remember and honor the impact she made, and will miss her dearly.” The bodies of Julio and Angela Velasquez were recovered and identified earlier.

“I really need u to understand, if u dont like me doin this or anything I do, please dont buy my albums, dont come to my shows. F— way off,” Cudi said. “Thanx,” he added in his next tweet, where he posted several emojis.

Rev. Jesse Jackson To Receive France’s Legion of Honour
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Brandon Bell / Getty Although he hasn’t been free of scandal throughout the years, there is no denying that the Reverend Jesse Jackson has put in plenty of work as a Civil Rights activist and leader for most of his life. France recognizes this, too, and will be awarding Jackson the Legion of Honour, its highest award for a civilian. France’s President Emmanuel Macron’s office made the announcement on Friday (July 16). “Jesse Jackson has never ceased to campaign for peace, justice and brotherhood. He is also committed to education and the climate,” said Macron’s office in a statement. “Its action, based on the strength of argument, on the rejection of all forms of racism and exclusion, always placing citizenship and the aspiration for progress at the cente...
Baron Negro: Kanye West Hits Big 3 Game Dressed Like Baron Zemo
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ethan Miller / Getty Maybe Kanye West is a big fan of MCU villains? We say this because Yeezy was at the Big 3 Tournament in Las Vegas on Saturday (July 17) and was spotted courtside dressed like Baron Zemo. Source: Marvel / Disney+ There was Mr. West next to Big 3 head honcho Ice Cube wearing an outfit that featured a mask that also could pass for Cobra Commander couture and what looks like a pair of those Yeezy Supply boots. There is where we point out that Vegas is in the desert, so it’s pretty much always hot outside. That didn’t stop Yeezy from donning winter-ready looking drip at the Orleans Arena to take in a game, though. Cube being comfortable in a t-shirt was a sharp contrast to West keeping on the black version of the Round Jacket that’s part o...
Bruce Springsteen Settles Debate Over “Thunder Road” Lyric After 46 Years
For nearly half a century, Bruce Springsteen fans have seemingly confused by a particular line in his classic song “Thunder Road.” In the opening lines of 1975’s Born to Run, The Boss sings, “The screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves/ Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays.” Or, so we thought. Those specific lyrics were included in the album’s liner notes, and on every official lyric sheet since its release. But it’s not exactly a perfect rhyme, and debate has sprung up in the intervening decades over whether Springsteen actually means to sing “sways” instead of “waves.” After all, does a dress really wave when the person wearing it dances?

Anthrax Celebrate 40 Years of Thrash with Career-Spanning Livestream Concert: Review
Setting the Stage: It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of thrash metal pioneers Anthrax. Considered to be one of the “Big 4” of thrash (along with Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth), the band — which since 2013 has featured a lineup comprised of singer Joey Belladonna, guitarists Scott Ian and Jon Donais, bassist Frank Bello, and drummer Charlie Benante — undoubtedly would have preferred to celebrate this impressive career accomplishment with a thorough world tour, but instead offered up a virtual worldwide concert event. Anthrax officially formed on July 18th, 1981, and the metal legends started the 40th anniversary celebration a couple months back with a video series documenting their illustrious career through testimonials from the band members ...
