Due to the coronavirus pandemic getting worse here in America, movie theaters do not know when they will open up again. People are missing that experience, and Walmart wants to give it back to them.
Starting in August, they will be converting 160 of their parking lots into drive-in movie theaters. They say, “This family-friendly night will include hit movies, special appearances from filmmakers and celebrities and concessions delivered right to customer vehicles.”
No other details are known at this time, but I am hoping that Bill & Ted Face the Music is one of the movies that they screen. Too bad there isn’t a Walmart in San Dimas because that would have been most excellent.
I am so grateful that corporations are getting creative to let us safely enjoy the things we used to do all the time.
Due to the increase in COVID-19 numbers in Austin we’re gonna move the concert to a better date. We were hoping for better Coronavirus numbers by July but Unfortunately the numbers have increased quite a bit so for the safety and health of everyone we’re going to stay home. pic.twitter.com/MWWfNWf3zd
Vanilla Ice was going to play a concert in Austin, Texas tomorrow night, but he has made the very wise choice to cancel it.
Texas is one of the states that has been hardest hit by COVID-19, and it is getting worse by the day. The fact that he was planning on doing a standing room only show, would have been devastating to the Austin area. The people at his show would not be wearing masks, and if one person had it, then they can spread it to a few people, and then those people would spread it to a few people, and so on, and so on. Then Austin would be in Houston’s boat, and find themselves with hospitals at or near capacity in the ICU.
I honestly believe Rob Van Winkle when he says he didn’t know the numbers were that bad in Austin. I wish I was like him and oblivious to the news. If I didn’t have family, I actually love, there, I would probably would not know how bad it is either.
At least Rob did the right thing before it was too late. Especially because I was going to write a scathing post to him, and I didn’t want to do that. He helped me out in Miami, and I will never forgot that.
A little over a week ago, D.L. Hughley was performing in a comedy club in Nashville when he suddenly passed out. After spending a night in the hospital, he found he tested positive for coronavirus even though he had no other symptoms.
He made a video from the hospital and said that he was going to spend the next two weeks quarantining in the hotel he was staying at in the city. That was ten days ago, so he is still there? He told Billy Bush on Extra, “You know what, actually, when I passed out, I went to the hospital. Once I got tested, and it went viral, and I went back to the hotel. They’re like, ‘If you don’t get your a$$ out of here…'”
He did not say where he has been hiding out. However, he did say he is like a Typhoid Mary because his son and several people from his radio show also tested positive for COVID-19 since he did.
In fact, the comedian thinks everyone should get tested because he did not know he had it until he passed out, and spread it to people he knows.
So we should all get tested and wear a mask. You don’t want to be a D.L. Hughley and unknowingly spread the virus to people you know or don’t know.
Back in 1989, Jason Voorhees took Manhattan, and then Manhattan took him after he took a lot of people. No matter how many times people tried and successfully killed him, he always wore his mask.
Therefore, it makes sense that New York would ask him to be their face…covered by a mask to prevent the spread of coronavirus, to get people to wear one.
While Jason can get killed and come back to life, people cannot. You don’t want to be a Jason and kill people because you didn’t wear a mask, so wear one.
Let’s stop the spread of COVID-19 and wear a mask! They are fashionable. They have different designs now. You don’t have to brush your teeth. Men don’t have to shave, and women don’t have to wear a mask. What is the downside?
I don’t know why people say wearing a mask will kill you. Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Leatherface, and Ghostface all wear masks, and they never die. No matter how many times they get killed. And they have been killed a lot of times in a lot of different ways!
On a side note, I wish they would have used a different voice actor. They should have gone with Jon Bon Jovi because he’s from New Jersey too. That and I always pictured Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, son, son, son, son with a raspy voice like Bon Jovi’s.
The other day, Rolling Stone posted an article where they asked 13 legendary musicians, and Sammy Hagar are they willing to go back on the road before there is a vaccine for COVID-19. Hagar was the only one who said he would.
In fact, he said, “This is hard to say without stirring somebody up, but truthfully, I’d rather personally get sick and even die, if that’s what it takes. We have to save the world and this country from this economic thing that’s going to kill more people in the long run.” Well, as you can expect, that did not go over well with people.
Today, he clarifed what he meant by that on social media:
Hey, Sammy here. Earlier in the week @rollingstone ran a compilation piece from their Quarantine Q&A series. I did that interview a month and a half ago, things change very fast right now, so I wanted to clarify and put a few things into context now.
I did that interview May 8th when we were already several weeks into the stay-at-home, which my family and I took very seriously, and things were starting to look up, the curve was beginning to flatten. So when I was asked if I’d be comfortable enough to get back onstage before a vaccine was out, I was cautiously optimistic. I said, “Yeah, not too soon. I want to make sure it’s not escalating. When it’s declining and seems to be going away.” Big picture, it’s about getting back to work in a safe and responsible way and getting this economy rolling again. I will do my part. I stand by that. I employ 200 people directly and when we tour even more. Like everything today, it’s a watch and see over the next few months but we remain cautiously optimistic that with the right improvements and safety measures in place, we might be able to play shows this year. That said, as things change, for the better or worse, we will appropriately adjust our plans.
Do you believe that is what he meant or he is just trying to cover his a$$?
BTW I was just wondering. If Hagar didn’t join Van Halen, would he be considered a one hit wonder?
