#WhatsHappening for March 17, 2016

Damn you, nature!

I'm sure you've seen this already, but yeah.

Seriously, it'd be easier for me to list the shit I'm not allergic to! I got tested a few years back (before I found a doctor who realized that yes, I actually did need my tonsils removed) and I was allergic to something like 28 of the 35 things they tested me for. 

Not my cats, though. Lucky for me. Or them. I'm not sure which of us is getting the better deal. 

Singer Frank Sinatra, Jr. has died. 

The only son of Old Blue Eyes, Frank Jr. was a performer in his own right for more than 50 years- including television appearances as himself on "The Sopranos" and "Family Guy."

He was on tour and scheduled to perform at Daytona's Peabody Auditorium last night, but was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center during the afternoon after falling ill. 

His sister, Nancy, confirmed his passing on Facebook, saying "The Sinatra family mourn the untimely passing of their son, brother, father, uncle, Frank Sinatra, Jr. of cardiac arrest while on tour in Daytona, Florida.

January 10, 1944 - March 16, 2016

Sleep warm, Frankie..."

50 Cent is coming to TV. A&E (which stopped being about either of those things years ago) will offer up '50 Cent Presents' this fall, featuring a mix  of sketch comedy, stand-up, music, reality experiments, dance and celebrity guest appearances.

My reaction to Meghan Trainor

"I grew up watching variety shows and am excited to put my own spin on the format," Curtis Jackson said. "I hope everyone is ready to bring their talent forward, I want to show the world the best of the best."

Billboard headline: "Happy St. Patrick's Day! Meghan Trainor, French Montana and More Reveal Their Hangover Cures"

I'm pretty sure hearing Meghan Trainor sing would be torture if I was hung over, causing me to vomit. Which, weirdly, always makes me feel better when I'm hung over.

Madonna pissed off fans in Brisbane last night, showing up more than two hours late for her scheduled show there, causing the concert to run into the early hours of Thursday morning- long after trains from the venue had stopped running. 

A spokesperson at the venue's ticket office said hundreds of fans left the venue and demanded refunds after an announcement was made that the show wouldn't start before 10:30- after a scheduled 9 p.m. start.

During the concert, Madonna thanked the crowd for their patience, but joked they had arrived too early.

"We started late- that hardly ever happens," she said. "You were here too early. You should have taken your time doing your hair and makeup. Then I wouldn't have been late."

Pet peeve of mine, though. Seriously, I pay some insane amount of money and you can't show up on time?

I have seen some fantastic concerts over the years, but I have to say one of my favorite moments was when Rob Thomas came out before the Matchbox 20 concert we saw a few years back and apologized because they started 20 minutes late.

Let me say that again: He apologized because they were 20 minutes late. He told the crowd that the crew was having trouble with the lights and they didn't want to disappoint us with a substandard show. That is caring about your fans.

Birthdays today include: Caroline Corr of the Corrs; Melissa Auf der Maur of Hole; Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins; Mike Kindup of Level 42; Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy; Harold Brown of War; and John Sebastian. #MusicalBirthdays
