Billy Joel set to headline Bonnaroo festival along with Mumford & Sons and Deadmau5…

Leave a comment

This year’s Bonnaroo lineup have been revealed and the headliners this year are pretty surprising. Billy Joel and Mumford & Sons are set to headline. I’m not much of a fan of Deadmau5 ’cause I never really listened to them before. I am a fan of Billy Joel and Mumford & Sons, though.

Billy Joel To Headline Bonnaroo 2015

It’s very strange to me on how Billy keeps performing live yet he refuses to go back into the studio and make a new record for all of us. Billy claims he’s done making music in the studio but I don’t buy it, though. The man just admitted last year that he lost his passion for recording new music. He no longer wants to go through all that. He also claims he has made enough music for us.

In my opinion, I think Billy is just being a lazy bum. I know he’s capable of making a new record. I also think he’s quietly writing new songs behind our backs ’cause he’s a musician and that’s what musicians do, make music.

Making new music is something you should never give up doing. Billy maybe getting older and he’s aging yes but that still doesn’t mean he have to stop making new music. Elton never stopped going into the studio, he’s still going. So is Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young.

I understand Billy has been a part of the music business for years and he’s getting tired of it but once again making new music is something you should NEVER give up.

I think Billy should give us one more record. I’m sure fans would welcome another Billy Joel record anytime!!! He should do it for the fans.

Song Of The Day: “Sweet Jane” by The Velvet Underground…

Leave a comment

Love Lou Reed or hate him, the man was a rock n’ roll genius. Losing Lou was a sad loss and I’m still bummed out about his passing. If you can’t understand Lou and his music then you’re not a fan of music, period. “Sweet Jane” is one of my favorites of his. Enjoy.

So Black Lives Matter hey? Where’s Obama and Sharpton when you need ’em???

Leave a comment

I don’t mean to post these graphic photos of dead bodies but I had to so I can make a point.

The black community and libtards wanna protest over all this “Black Lives Matter” stuff but what about the black lives in Nigeria? Thousands of black Africans have been slaughtered to death by Boko Haram in Nigeria. Will there be any rioting and protesting for them?

Again, Boko Haram is an Islamic terrorist group. Where are the hashtags from Michelle and Barack about those black Africans getting murdered in Nigeria?

Nobody in the Obama administration is gonna call this “radical Islam” just like they won’t call the Paris attacks that.

Keep protecting Islam you dumbass libtards. Muslim terrorism is getting way out of hand. This is what Obama wants and this is his goal. When will this fucking country wake up and realize that Obama is a terrorist sympathizer and supporter? Do delusional Obama supporters feel safe yet? Bunch of losers…

I pray for Nigeria.

The Grammy’s finally starting to give rock music more respect? Ac/Dc set to perform award show on TV…

Leave a comment

The Grammy Awards have always been dominated by pop, rap and country for many years. Last year’s Grammy’s they had Metallica & Lang Lang, Queens of the Stone Age, NIN perform on TV.

This year they are having Ac/Dc.

I hate the Grammy’s like most but it’s actually kind of cool that they are giving rock n’ roll more respect. Hopefully they don’t put Ac/Dc as the last performer where the Grammy’s would cut their performance at the end of the show like they did with NIN last year. I don’t think the Grammy’s would do that to Ac/Dc though… those guys are iconic rock legends and they don’t wanna disrespect them.

Congrats to Ac/Dc. Yeah, I love the band. Always did and I’ll be watching the Grammy’s just for their performance alone.

“The Avengers: Age of Ultron” trailer is finally here and it looks freakin’ badass!!!

Leave a comment

Despite Loki not having anything to do with this film, the new Avengers movie still looks bad ass! Looks even better than the first. The new one looks very exciting.

I know this movie is gonna get a lot of critics ’cause of the CGI and stuff but it’s just a movie, ya know?

“Age of Ultron” looks awesome and I’ll be there for this one for sure.

So why Billy Dee Williams reprising his role as Lando for “Rebels” animated series instead of “The Force Awakens”???

1 Comment

Star Wars fanatics begged for the return of Lando Calrissian played by Billy Dee Williams for the “Force Awakens” live action movie directed by JJ Abrams but fans were disappointed that they learned that Disney neglected Billy Dee. So far, there was no explanation from Disney/JJ camp as to why Billy Dee wasn’t brought back to play Lando for “The Force Awakens” film. Even Billy Dee himself didn’t explain.

Turns out that Billy Dee have agreed to return to his iconic role as Lando for the “Rebels” animated TV series instead.

A lot of fans are questioning this move.

I think I know why this is ’cause after doing a little google search, I learned that Billy Dee pulled out of “Dancing With the Stars” ’cause he had major back problems.

Spoiler! Which Star Is Leaving DWTS for Medical Reasons?

So I thought to myself…. maybe that’s why. It’s looking like Billy Dee can’t do live action movies anymore ’cause of his bad back so that’s why he agreed to do the animated version of Lando instead. This was just Disney/Lucasfilm’s way of letting fans know that Lando isn’t being ignored as a way to keep them happy.

Hell, maybe Billy Dee not being in the “Force Awakens” had nothing to do with his bad back? Maybe JJ just didn’t have a storyline for Lando so he wasn’t written in the script at all. Maybe Lando wasn’t needed?

I’m sure we’ll get an answer soon on the real reason why Lando is not in “The Force Awakens” once these guys start doing interviews for the press to help promote the movie and the “Rebels” TV series.

Sorry but I’m with everyone that a live action Star Wars movie without Lando, there’s something wrong there. Maybe Lando still has a surprise cameo in “The Force Awakens”, who knows??? JJ is always up for surprises.

BREAKING NEWS: Kyle Maclachlan set to reprise his role as Dale Cooper in “Twin Peaks” return for Showtime…

Leave a comment

Great news!!! I was hoping Kyle would return ’cause we need an explanation of that ending of Season 2. Now we need Ray Wise to return as Leland Palmer ’cause he was a pretty important part of that story.

I love the show. Wish I could watch it but I don’t have Showtime anymore, though. I’m sure it will make its way to Netflix streaming in the future.

Check out Jessica Chastain at the “Golden Globes”…

Leave a comment

I rarely comment on Best & Worst Dressed bullshit at Award shows but I couldn’t resist this one. Jessica Chastain is a jaw-dropper here. I’d say she was the Best dressed for sure.

She’s been my favorite actress as of late. Remember, she was in movies like “The Help”, “Zero Dark Thirty” and “Interstellar”.

This woman is a hottie indeed and I dig them redheads. I wouldn’t mind dating a redhead myself.

I didn’t watch the Golden Globes, by the way. I’m pretty much done with award shows, I think. Still trying to debate whether or not I should watch this year’s Oscars ’cause they’ve been disappointing for the last several years as well.

Song Of The Day: “Oye Como Va” by Santana

Leave a comment

I’m not ashamed to say that I’m a pretty big fan of Carlos Santana’s guitar playing. All of his new stuff is alright but I like his earlier music back in the 70’s more. I love the album, “Abraxas”, one of my favorite albums of all time. Santana is a genius guitar player and he’s still rockin’ today. Still doing his thing.

“Oye Como Va” is one of my favorite instrumentals. It’s an awesome jam.
