Well, look like a Led Zeppelin and Velvet Revolver tour definitely won’t happen at all because there are some bad signs that the Velvet Revolver could be breaking up. At a concert in Glasgow, Scotland…lead singer Scott Weiland made an unexpected surprising announcement that shocked the fans and even the rest of the band members as well, that this is the final tour of the Velvet Revolver. Weiland was behaving very weirdly at the concert like dropping the microphone and walking off the stage, then coming back later to sing Gn’R song “It’s So Easy” in a crazy way.
There is also a big possibility that the Stone Temple Pilots may return to the national music scene full time with a full tour and possible new STP album. The other band members of the Velvet Revolver admitted the band has been in a turmoil lately.
If the Stone Temple Pilots do indeed return to music again full time, then it’s no surprise to me. How many times have that band broken up and then came back? More than a few.
I don’t like the Velvet Revolver and I hope they do breakup so there can be a Stone Temple comeback. I want Slash to move on to something better, maybe he can make an instrumental solo album that I always wanted Slash to do ’cause he’s an incredible guitarist. I just don’t like Slash playing with VR and I know he’s better than that.
The World Wrestling Entertainment wants more children to enter a WWE ring. The WWE soon plans on launching “WWEKidz” magazine along with a new website:
The new magazine will be aimed directly at children ages from 6 – 14 and the first issue will be released on newstands everywhere April 15th.
The WWE continues to draw an audience of mostly young children and little toddlers to this day. It is the reason that the WWE brought in a midget adult character, Hornswoggle (pictured above) to the WWE to entertain the children who still watches WWE. Children also seems to be fans of wrestlers such as John Cena, Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker, and Jeff Hardy. And of course, Triple H as well.
The WWE plans on settling down the storylines so they can be more family and children oriented. Over the years, the WWE had concentrated on storylines aimed at the adults, now they want to concentrate on the children who still watch WWE.
If there is one thing that WWE could improve to get huge again is make storylines children and family oriented. Some of the violence and “sex” in WWE storylines are not at all for children but kids still watch WWE anyways.
I was a little child when I first watched WWF/WWE for the first time and still watch WWE to this day. Watched WWE my entire life. I grew up on wrestling. It’s a good thing WWE is doing finally.

The Weinsten Company has plans in making a biopic movie about the legendary reggae singer Bob Marley, with wife and widow Rita Marley is executive producing the film. It’s a film where an actor plays the legendary Bob Marley telling the story about his life and career in music.
Bob Marley’s family members has blocked a licensing deal from the Weinstein Company licensing the music of Bob Marley to be included in the biopic film. That means Bob Marley’s original studio recordings will not be included in the film.
Why is this you ask?
The answer is easy. Film maker Martin Scorsese has planned on making a rockumentary about the legendary singer similar to what he did to the movies “Shine the Light” (a rockumentary about the Rolling Stones) and “The Last Waltz” (a rockumentary about Robbie Robertson and The Band). Martin Scorsese doesn’t want to compete with another film based on the same thing about Bob Marley is the reason for the snub. Ziggy Marley and other family members only priority is keeping Bob Marley’s legacy alive to this day. The Marley biopic film is not yet greenlighted because there is not a script yet.
Neil Aspinall has always been known as the “fifth” Beatle, he was the original road manager for the Beatles and was the band’s business empire owner for over 40 years. After the breakup of the beatles in 1970, Neil Aspinall continues to hold that title of the “fifth” Beatle by keeping the Beatles legacy alive. He was also the chief exceutive of Apple Ltd. Aspinall continued to help defend the band by the never ending lawsuits thrown at the band over the years. He is the one that went on tours to bring the Beatles to all their concerts.

Edit to add: I found the lyrics to the song.
The Ballad of Ronnie Drew
words by Robert Hunter
————————————–
Here’s to the Ronnie, the voice we adore
Like coals from a coal bucket scraping the floor
Sing out his praises in music and malt
And if you’re not Irish, that isn’t your fault
Raise up our voices like dogs in a pack
Thankful for honest men we never lack
We got ’em by twenties, we got ’em by ones
Them and their daughters and all of their sons
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew
Ronnie Drew, we love you, yes we do
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you
And what’s it to any man whether or no’
Whether I’m easy or whether I’m true
As I lifted her petticoat easy and slow
And I tied up me sleeve for to buckle her shoe
Get up and go at it, five until five
When the whistle says budge it we come back alive
He’ll sing to the heavens, he’s stormy as hell
And wherever he goes, we’ll be wishing him well
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew
Ronnie Drew, we love you, yes we do
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you
The dawn and the dust, the wise, the unjust
Kids in gambling games
The unheard, the unseen, the unwashed and the clean
Where the streets all have names
Baggot Street, Leeson Street, right on to Stephens Street
With lovers and loners who can hear all intoners
The goths and the ravers, invalids and traders
Sing out Ronnie Drew
A life for a life or a hand for a hand
Trust in the music and strike up the band
The more that we sing the less that we fight
Time and again this is proved to be right
Build you a statue on St. Stephen’s Green
No fairer monument ere to be seen
The statue of Ronnie Drew holding the hand
Of a girl with her hair in a black velvet band
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew
No stranger to devils or angles to tell
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew
A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend to you
Ronnie Drew, we love you, yes we do
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you, Ronnie Drew
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you, Ronnie Drew
And what’s it to any man whether or no’
Whether I’m easy or whether I’m true
As I lifted her petticoat easy and slow
And I rolled up me sleeve for to buckle her shoe!
The former horror movie scream queen, Jamie Lee Curtis, poses topless for AARP Magazine.
Quote from the article:
She says, “I want to be older. I actually think there’s an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older. I feel way better now than I did when I was 20. I’m stronger, I’m smarter in every way, I’m so much less crazy than I was then… Getting older means paring yourself down to an essential version of yourself.”
She also refused to dye her hair adding, “I’ve let my hair go grey. I wear only black and white. Every year, I buy three or four black dresses that I just keep in rotation.”
Legendary bluesman, B.B. King just bought a nightclub in his Mississippi Delta hometown, the club was formerly owned by Mary Shepard and the club is called “Club Ebony” in Indianola. It is a club where only black people mostly hang out at. She sold the club to the legendary bluesman so she can move on with her life and spend time with her family.

Owen Wilson’s new movie “Drillbit Taylor” flopped in the box office, making it to No. 4 with a 10.4 million budget, it made the top 5 but not so good money wise. According to reports, they assume that his suicide attempt is the reason for the movie that flopped. That’s a horrible way to think of that in my opinion.
The reason that the movie “flopped” is because I think the movie simply looks “no good”, the movie looks like crap whether it has Owen Wilson in it or not. It has nothing to do with the suicide attempt.
Even if Heath Ledger is gone, that is gonna help make “The Dark Knight” the highest selling movie of all times, not beating out “Titanic” but it could be close.
Never blame movies that bombed ’cause of a celebrity death or a suicide.
It’s just wrong.
