Rolling Stone spoke with 14 legendary artists like Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Earth, Wind and Fire’s Phillip Bailey, and The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, and the magazine asked them if they are willing to go on the road again before there is a vaccine for COCVID-19.
The road is a place that is more like their first home than their second one. David Crosby of Crosby, Stills & Nash says his house is in jeopardy because he is not making any money. However, he wants you to know, “I’m not whining about it, though — it’s what we have to do, or we can’t beat the coronavirus.”
While he is willing to put other people’s lives ahead of his own, Sammy Hagar is not:
I’ll be comfortable playing a show before there’s a vaccine, if it’s declining and seems to be going away. I’m going to make a radical statement here. 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. I would rather see everyone go back to work. If some of us have to sacrifice on that, OK. I will die for my children and my grandchildren to have a life anywhere close to the life that I had in this wonderful country. That’s just the way that I feel about it. I’m not going to go around spreading the disease. But there may be a time where we have to sacrifice. I mean, how many people die on the Earth every day? I have no idea. I’m sorry to say it, but we all gotta die, man.
Thankfully, not all artists feel the same way as Hagar. Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty said, “And I don’t want to be the guy who contributes to that. You go do a concert with 10,000 people, and then find out afterwards that some of them died?” Then he added, “Maybe some other guy thinks it’s a good idea, but I’m not dying for Donald Trump. I’m not dying for the economy.”
We all miss concerts, but none of them are worth dying over. Especially, Sammy Hagar. I saw him with Van Halen and he sucked. He was so awful that he forgot the words to Right Now. How do you forget the lyrics to the biggest song you produced with the band months just after you released it? He is no David Lee Roth.
Everyone has seen that photo of Rudy Giuliani’s white upper teeth and yellow stained lower ones. Well, that is not the only thing that does not match on him these days.
The former mayor wanted to look for his Fox News appearance, so he got someone to cut his hair in a time when no one can get haircuts. I guess they don’t like him because one side is a lot longer than the other one.
On a positive note, at least he still has hair. I thought he was completely bald. See there is always a positive to say if you look really, really, really hard!
Rand Paul revealed today that he has come down with Coronavirus.
Senator Rand Paul has tested positive for COVID-19. He is feeling fine and is in quarantine. He is asymptomatic and was tested out of an abundance of caution due to his extensive travel and events. He was not aware of any direct contact with any infected person.
He expects to be back in the Senate after his quarantine period ends and will continue to work for the people of Kentucky at this difficult time. Ten days ago, our D.C. office began operating remotely, hence virtually no staff has had contact with Senator Rand Paul.
Even though he says he has been working remotely, Seung Min Kim reports, “During the Senate GOP lunch today, Moran told colleagues that Rand was at the gym this morning, per two sources briefed on the lunch, and that he was swimming in the pool. Rand got his COVID-19 results back this morning.”
To which Paul’s people responded with, “We want to be clear, Senator Paul left the Senate IMMEDIATELY upon learning of his diagnosis. He had zero contact with anyone & went into quarantine. Insinuations such as those below that he went to the gym after learning of his results are just completely false & irresponsible!”
Kim never said he went after he got the results. The fact that he got the test, then went to the gym and swam in the pool, is what he should not have done. He was supposed to wait until he got the results before he did anything. If anyone in the gym gets it, then they can sue him for giving it to them.
Then again, most of us are under the opinion that he and Mitch McConnell are the two biggest dicks in Congress. Thus, we should not expect anything less from the man who voted against giving 9-11 responders unlimited aid for the next 10 years. He is also the guy that stopped the vote on the stimulus package to help American during the COVID-19 crisis. When it finally went up for a vote, he voted against it. Even after testing positive, he still plans to vote against it.
I think, if any Senator, who goes to the gym, winds up getting it, then he should be forced to resign from Senate. While us people, who are Coronavirus-, are staying in our homes trying not to contract it and then give it, he is risking people’s lives while waiting for the results. That is everything the government is telling us not to do. He is supposed to lead by example, so we can all go out again. DON’T!
Chaka Khan has not been relevant since the ’80s, and her take on the National Anthem at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game started during it. The players were not taking a knee in protest of anything; they just got tired of standing as she slowly screamed out the Star Spangled Banner.
Her version was like her Masked Singer costume, a real Monster. No wonder she got eliminated so early. She is not the same woman singer she was when she sang Every Woman back in 1978.
Twenty-Five years ago, Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were brutally murdered. To this day, we do not know who did it, but many people suspect that her ex-husband OJ Simpson did it. Although he was acquitted of the crime, he was not acquitted by most. He eventually went to jail, but for a different crime. Two and a half years ago he was paroled.
Ever since then he has been radio silent, but that is about to change. The disgraced football player joined Twitter and says, “I got a lot of getting even to do.” What that means, who knows? Better yet, why should we care? But we do.
