#WhatsHappening for September 5, 2018

Hey there, friends and neighbors. I don't know about you, but this short week if freaking killing me. I feel like it should be Friday already. This is what happens when I do next to nothing on a Monday.

Oh well, at least there's only two days left in the regular week.

Paul McCartney told The Sunday Times he once saw God during a psychedelic trip.

This joke shamelessly stolen from Craig Ferguson.

McCartney said there was a "massive wall that I couldn’t see the top of, and I was at the bottom. And anybody else would say it’s just the drug, the hallucination, but we felt we had seen a higher thing." (By "we," let's assume he means John, George, and Ringo, too.)

Because of the experience, McCartney said he believes his lost loved ones, including his late wife Linda, are "looking down" on him.

So... not all rockers are heathens. Good to know?

Every once in a while, we run into some technical issues during karaoke that we can't really correct- usually because a song has been incorrectly labelled. When that happens, the only thing I can do is try to straighten things out during the week. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't.

When the latter happens, the best solution is to try to find a replacement for the problem file. Again- sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. At least I try, right?

So, while I'm at it, anyone looking for any specific new tunes? As always, I'm happy to search for their availability.

Former Bill Cosby legal team member Samuel Silver says the comedian owes him more more than $50,000 in unpaid legal fees. Silver's employers, Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis of Philadelphia has filed a civil claim against Cosby, but did not specify an exact amount of damages.

Cosby's current attorney, Joe P. Green, says the claim was the result of a dispute over the amount Cosby was charged.

A South Carolina woman was charged with murder after she confessing to killing her husband with lethal amounts of tertrahydrozoline in his water. In case you're wondering, that's the active ingredient in eye drops. She killed him with eye drops. 

I know what you're thinking- "this wasn't in Florida?"

On what would have been Freddie Mercury's 72nd birthday- and ahead of the release of the band's upcoming biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen announced today that a number of previously unreleased tracks from their show-stopping Live Aid performance would be included in the film's soundtrack album. 

The 22-track album will include the band's Live Aid performances of Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, and We Are the Champions. Brian May also reportedly re-recorded the guitar tracks for Don't Stop Me Now to reflect the song's current sound with Adam Lambert on vocals.

The soundtrack will hit stores on October 19- two weeks ahead of the film's release.
