Hey kids. Happy Hump Day.
I can't be the only one who's done no shopping at all, can I? Thank goodness for Amazon Prime.
Don't forget to join us for all the fun of Saturday Night Karaoke, coming up this weekend at the Iron Horse Tavern.
Smithereens' singer Pat DiNizio died yesterday.
The band announced his death on their web site. No cause of death was given, but health problems plagued him in recent years. In 2015 he lost use of his right arm following a pair of falls and the band had canceled three tour dates earlier this year after he injured his back and neck. Rescheduled dates were coming in January.
DiNizio was 62.
U2's Songs of Experience set has kicked Taylor Swift’s Reputation from the top of the Billboard album charts- giving them their eighth chart-topper.
The only other bands in history have had more chart topping albums are The Beatles, with 19, and The Rolling Stones with nine. U2 also gained the distinction of becoming the only in chart history to have reached the top spot in four successive decades- in the ’80s with The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum, in the ’90s with Achtung Baby, Zooropa, , and Pop, in the 2000s with How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and No Line on the Horizon, and the 2010s with this release.
FYI- Bruce Springsteen, Janet Jackson, and Barbra Streisand also have had #1 albums in each of the past four decades as solo artists, and Babs has them all beat with chart-topping albums in each of the past six decades.
The U.S. Postal Service has unveiled some of subjects of their 2018 stamp program, with Lena Horne, John Lennon and Sally Ride tapped to appear on Forever stamps next year.
