#WhatsHappening for January 22

Well, it's the weekend, at least! Hope you're all managing to stay high and dry. And warm- especially those of you who're in the northeastern US!

I never would've thought I'd have anything in common with Dave Mustaine, but he's not convinced that the current crop of politicians can get the job done.
Don't cry- you could always get a haircut.
“I've seen 10 presidents come and go during my lifetime and I can't help but ask myself if this is the best we've got. You think about some of the things people are capable of doing, the inventions they come up with and the things you see them do, like some of these Nobel Prize winners... I'm not talking about Obama. I'm talking about people who come up with cures for diseases and come up with incredible things that benefit mankind. Where are the people like that? When people get a taste of greed and stuff, they lose sight of what's right. It's like a fighter: as soon as they go from being somebody who works out in a sweat lodge and practices to finally becoming the champ, the dollar signs get in the way and they lose perspective. The next thing you know, they're knocked out. I think as long as the corruption is as rampant as it is right now and you have all the different factions, it's not gonna get any better.”
Seriously, though- if Captain Hairpiece and Madame Secretary are the best the parties have to offer... yikes.
Mustaine's band, Megadeth, releases Dystopia Friday and kicks off a North American tour in Dallas on February 20.

Don't forget to join us for Saturday Night Karaoke, live and loud at The Iron Horse Tavern from 10pm-1am this week.

Hope he's had his shots.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are back on. After splitting up in September 2013, the pair are reportedly are back on again- and re-engaged.
Us Weekly and E! report that the two have reconciled and are planning on continuing their engagement.

Because I'm still bummed about his passing, here's David Bowie imitating other singers.

The Sierra Club has filed suit against the California Coastal Commission and six developers over a real estate development project in Malibu backed by U2's lead guitarist The Edge.
The project, approved by the Commission just over a month ago, was initially proposed in 2007 and seeks to build five mansions on the “southern flank of Santa Monica Mountains.”

The Sierra Club is accusing the California Coastal Commission of overlooking several provisions within three of California's environmental protection laws- including not taking into account scenic views, insufficient mitigation of the project's environmental impact, illegal greenhouse gas emissions, danger of life-endangering wildfires, noise pollution and unsustainable traffic from its “celebrity occupants” possibly hosting frequent parties.
The Club also alleges that the site “contains large areas of critical habitat designated as environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA) by the Country of Los Angeles,” and that the Commission did not take into consideration the extension of Sweetwater Mesa Road, which the development would require, and accuses the Commission of caving to legal pressure from the six developers named in the suit. “The Commission and its staff failed to fully enforce the Coastal Act, the LCP and [the California Environmental Quality Act] because of the threat posed by the Applicant Lawsuits.”
