October 1st started out like any other night for Jason Aldean. He was on stage performing his music to thousands of adoring fans. But then all hell, literally, broke loose.
For the last month and a half, he has been silent about that night. But now he is talking and he gave his first interview to Today. The news show released a preview of Thursday’s segment and he talks about the exact moment that America was changed forever. He told the reporter that he was wearing an in-ear monitor to hear the music and messages from the band during the concert. Then all of sudden, he heard some crackling. He thought a speaker might have blown. Then that sound went away and he went out as though it was nothing.
All of sudden the noise started again, and he described what happened next, “I was actually getting kind of aggravated, so I looked over at the monitor guy on the side of the stage, and I was like, ‘What is that? And fix it.’ And when I turned and looked, my guitar player had run behind me and was telling me to move, like, ‘Let’s go.’ And my security guy was running on stage, telling me to run.”
That 1 minute snippet gave me chills. I cannot even imagine what he and everyone, who was there that horrible night, went through. I also cannot wait to hear the rest of that interview because I am sure that experience changed him in a way none of us could ever understand.
Back in the ’90s, Hootie & the Blowfish was one of the biggest bands out there, then with the new millennium they went their separate ways. Darius Rucker went solo and had his own hits. But would he ever record with the band that made him famous again? That is exactly what Harry Connick Jr wanted to know on his daytime talk show. The singer told him, “We’re talking about it. And we’re going to do it. We just don’t know when yet.” Hopefully, the talk will turn into singing sooner rather than later because we need their type of tunes again. Until we get that their new CD, will you Hold My Hand?
Even though it has been 12 years since they released a studio album together, Rucker revealed they all live about 15 minute from each other. Now if they can only find a music studio to record in in that 15 minute radius, that would be bitchin’.
First We Feast’s Sean Evan challenged Papa Roach to eat some bugs, but sadly no roaches, well besides the members of the band, were involved in this taste testing. Instead they tried Honey Roasted Crickets, Fire Brimstone Flavored Meal worms, Grasshoppers. Armor Tail Scorpion, June Bug and Bamboo Worm. How did they like it? Let’s just say they will stick to roaches since they weren’t any.
I know bugs are a good source of protein, but I will find other ways to get it. I just can’t do bugs. Eww.
Remember the first time you saw Drake’s Hotline Bling and you were wondering what the heck he was doing in it? He called it dancing, but we weren’t sure? That is how I feel after watching Bruno Mars’ That’s What I Like. That might be what he likes, but it is not what I like. He is better than that and I hope with the next video he really brings it like he did with Uptown Funk!
Nevermind is 25 years old and Spencer Elden is just as old. The baby, who is now a quarter of a century old, put on some swimming trunks, went under water and posed just like he did when he was only 4 months old. Although he told The NY Post, he wanted to do it naked, but photographer John Chapple told him no because he thought it would be “weird”. One of the things the photographer said yes to, was paying him the same amount that he made in 1991. A whopping $200!
Why did Elden recreate his infamous photo? He told the paper, “The anniversary means something to me. It’s strange that I did this for five minutes when I was four months old and it became this really iconic image,” adding, “It’s cool but weird to be part of something so important that I don’t even remember.” Something none of us can fathom.
BTW am I the only who feels really old seeing the baby as a grown man?
