Yesterday, Tim Walz held a rally in Detroit with Barack Obama. If you are going to have a political event in Michigan, then you need to have the state’s biggest star introduce you.
So, they asked Kid Rock to join them. Who am I kidding? It was Eminem who went the 8 Mile for Democrats yesterday.
However, I don’t think anything could prepare the Rapper for what was about to happen next. When Obama came out, he said that he was nervous following the hometown star. So much so, he told the cheering audience, “My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti. I’m nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready. To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting.”
And that is why people love Obama! He knows how to win over a crowd without talking about the size of a late golfer’s penis. Mainly because let’s be honest, we know that Obama also has a golf club between his legs, unlike Trump, who swings with a golf tee.
I normally hate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The people I think who deserve to be there aren’t even nominated. However, this year, this Duranie is finally seeing Duran Duran get inducted along with Dolly Parton, Pat Benetar, Carly Simon, Eminem, and Lionel Richie.
As much as I love the Eurythmics, I don’t think they are as deserving as The New York Dolls, who were nominated but not inducted. Although, the latter’s acceptance speech would be sad because they are down to one member. Buster Poindexter might be Hot, Hot, Hot, but he would be lonely up there by himself.
Anyways, it’s not about my feelings or this year’s controversies like Dolly Parton and Dionne Warwick criticizing the name of the Hall of Fame and asking not to be inducted, it about the inductees’ night.
That night is going to be November 19th on HBO. So mark your calendars because it is going to be a night to remember.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced who is going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this November, and Duran Duran finally made it in. The band will be joined by Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Carly Simon.
Several of the inductees released statements about being admitted.
Annie Lennox wrote, “Well – @Eurythmics made the grade, thanks to every single one of our truly loyal ‘fans’! The appreciation goes to YOU! Much love from Annie and Dave! ❤️ 😎😎 Gangstas forever!!”
Pat Benetar and her husband, Neil Giraldo, said, “We are thrilled and humbled to become part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame family. Thank you to everyone who voted especially the fans and congratulations to all the other inductees.”
Lionel Richie had this to say, “Being elected to @rockhall is an incredible honor. I would like to say THANK YOU to all of the voters, to all of my wonderful fans and to everyone at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Congratulations to all of my fellow 2022 inductees! #RockHall2022”
As of now, Eminem, Carly Simon (who is the second person from my hometown to be inducted because it is all about me), and Dolly Parton have not commented.
I can’t wait to hear what Dolly has to say. The legendary singer initially said she would turn it down. But on Monday, she said she would accept the award gracefully. Now that she is in, I am curious how she will react to it now that it is really happening.
And she deserves it because she inspired plenty of Rockers. However, I think that New York Dolls deserved to be in there over the Eurythmics. Annie Lennox deserves it as a solo act, but not with Dave Stewart and their band. New York Dolls dolled up Punk and Heavy Metal music by the way they dolled it up. They would wear their girlfriends’ clothes on stage, and it is a look that is still popular today. I know many people will disagree, but I think they meet more recognition.
UPDATE: Dolly Parton released her statement. If you want to see what she wrote, then click here!
We saw what went on during the Oscars telecast, but we don’t know what happened backstage. Today, Salma Hayek shared her embarrassing about when she met Eminem.
In these pictures it might look like @Eminem and I are best friends, but what really happened is as he was walking offstage and I was getting ready to walk onstage, I was so shocked to see him that I spilled water all over him. If you examine our faces, I look mortified and he looks terrified of me- As I was trying to wipe it off I impulsively hugged him and I said “Nice to meet you Eminem- I’m a HUGE fan!” because I AM! But I was so disappointed that I made such a fool of myself in front of him
How did he feel about their encounter? When Variety asked him if he enjoyed that night, he said, “Absolutely. I got to hug Salma Hayek!”
Too bad, she is married. If not, they would be Hollywood’s hottest couple right now. You could say they would lose themselves in each other.
