Hi kids. Hope you've been well the past week. I took a break.
Billboard headline: "Chuck D: It's a 'Disgrace' That Rappers Like Kanye West Make Hip-Hop 'More of a Spectacle'"
NASCAR driver Mike Wallace and his daughter Lindsey assaulted by three men after a Rascal Flatts concert in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Wallace told WSOC that he and his daughter were in the parking lot after the show and he asked the men what they thought of the show. The men became angry and attacked him, knocking him out, and attacked his daughter when she attempted to shield him. Both Wallace and his daughter required hospital care, with him requiring 12 stitches and losing three teeth. He also suffered a concussion.
Wallace addressed the assault in a Facebook post. “I normally would not post personal affairs,” he wrote, “but this is to help and give advice to our friends, do not ever talk to a group of now what appeared to be drunk or drugged up young adult men or women when you’re trying to get in your car to leave the un guarded PNC amphitheater in Charlotte, NC parking lot after a good Rascal Flatts concert. This is what I looked like after I was knocked out and crap beat out of me. The ambulance driver took this picture we were just supposed to have a fun night. I want to thank my family and friends for helping to protect me from a worse beating as I [laid] unconscious on the ground.”
Three men were arrested in connection to the attack. Two of them face charges of misdemeanor simple assault, while the third man was charged with misdemeanor assault on a female.
See? This kind of fucktardery isn't limited to rap concerts. Dumbass doesn't have color boundaries.
Don't forget to join us for Saturday Night Karaoke, returning to the Iron Horse Tavern this week- ready to rock your face off.
A former employee of Madame Tussaud's in London who created a wig for David Bowie's wax figure in in the 1980s has offered up for auction a lock of hair she says belonged to the late singer.
Heritage Auctions says the sale will be held this Saturday as part of an auction in Beverly Hills. Heritage expects the hair (which, as far as I can tell, hasn't actually been authenticated as belonging to Bowie) to fetch at least $4,000.
The Budweiser Made in America Festival will celebrate its fifth year in Philadelphia this Labor Day weekend and tickets go on sale this Wednesday.
I'm puzzled, though- it's called the Made in America festival, but Coldplay is going to headline? (I mean, besides the fact that all their songs are whiny as hell, they're British.)
Other performers include Rihanna, 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, Chance The Rapper, DJ Khaled, Adventure Club, and more.
Veteran music industry executive Charles Koppelman and lawyer/manager L. Londell McMillan, who both worked with Prince and were appointed to help administer the entertainment assets of his estate told the New York Post they have plans for the artist's legendary vault of unreleased music.
"We’re going to be having a good time," Koppelman told the paper. "There is so much to be done with this estate. There are vaults full of music."
Koppelman added that some of the music could end up in a Broadway or Cirque du Soliel musical.
"Prince was an icon on the level of The Beatles and Michael Jackson, and his legacy should be honored," but didn't announce specific plans.
Birthdays today include: Twiggy Ramirez of Marilyn Manson; Murphy Karges of Sugar Ray; John Taylor of Duran Duran; former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony; Alan Longmuir of Bay City Rollers; Lionel Richie; Anne Murray; and Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. #MusicalBirthdays
