It's shocking that Chubby Checker had to wait this long to be inducted.

So, Outkast is this year's rap/hip-hop nominee for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, an institution best-described by the Sex Pistols as "urine in wine."

There must be some political reason they left out Billy Idol. He was high up in the public voting.

And I am still waiting for Iron Maiden to get it. The RRHoF does not like metal very much and they also ignore a lot of mainstream acts that had lots of hits like Huey Lewis and News. I love Rock music so much and I went to the Hall of Fame a few years ago. I asked one of the employees there if they had any exhibits on KISS and he looked at me like I had emitted a foul odor. At least I got a Cheap Trick t-shirt at the gift shop where the employees were nice. Up the Irons!!

I am happy to see that Warren Zevon got the recognition he deserves. One of the greatest songwriters ever. I am very fortunate that I got to see him perform.

Joe Cocker definitely belonged in the Hall. So does Bad Company. Maybe next year is the time for Billy Idol*, who definitely has the best name. It's nice to see the recognition of Thom Bell (Stylistics), Nicky Hopkins (British session pianist), and Carol Kaye (bassist for the Wrecking Crew). They are so deserving! *In his early school years, William Broad, after misbehaving in class was admonished by his teacher, who warned him that unless he improved, he would become a "idle" adult. That's where "Billy Idol" came from.

Sorry for post #2, BUT what about Alvin Lee and Ten Years After? Rolling Stone doesn't even have him on its 100 guitarists of all time. And Woodstock..."Goin' Home!" "I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do. So I'll leave it up to you."

Motley Crue has an amazing catalog. Google it and be shocked at how many of their songs you love. Meanwhile Joe Cocket is in? He had what? 2 covers that did anything? Motley Crue is a ROCK band, but they wait while Dolly Parton sarcastically releases "Rockstar" after her induction. What a farce.

Thousand-year-old prophecy predicts next

Pope Francis' sudden death has thrown the spotlight back on a 900-year-old prophetic manuscript. The 12th-century ‘Prophecy of the Popes’ — reportedly uncovered in the Vatican’s secret archives — claims to predict the identity of Francis’ successor and even foretells the return of Christ. The document contains a series of cryptic Latin phrases, each believed to describe a pope, starting with Celestine II in 1143 and ending with ‘Peter the Roman’ in 2027. Fanning the flames is the eerie fact that there are currently nine frontrunners to succeed Pope Francis — and three of them are named Peter.

Pope Francis has died aged 88, the Vatican announced today. The Pontiff spent his final weeks in hospital with an infection that developed into pneumonia in both lungs. The Conclave - where cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to choose a successor - will not happen for at least 15 days. Francis just yesterday greeted Catholic faithful who had gathered to see him at St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. He delivered his 'Urbi et Orbi' benediction from a balcony overlooking the square following mass to mark the high holiday.
Christians Exclaim ‘He Is Risen’ on
Easter Sunday: Here’s Why It’s So Meaningful

Christians around the world celebrate Jesus of Nazareth’s resurrection on Easter Sunday, almost 2,000 years after he died and was raised form the dead just three days later. The exclamation “He is risen” is thrown around so much during the Easter holiday. But what does it mean? Why is the grisly image of the cross of Calvary so revered by Christians? Most are aware of the story of Jesus being crucified on Good Friday and emerging from his tomb after three days. But Christians believe the meaning of his resurrection is much more significant than merely showcasing divine power over death.

Quite how the Government expected to hold “more than five” independent inquiries into grooming gangs for £5 million when the Telford inquiry alone cost £8 million is anyone’s guess. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper now insists Labour hasn’t watered down its pledge to “deliver the meaningful change victims deserve” with the announcement of a “more flexible approach” involving the setting up of “victim-led panels”. Yet handing a pittance to the very local councils who seemingly turned a blind eye to these vile crimes for them to mark their own homework isn’t justice.

The mainstream media spent an average of 46 minutes covering Donald Trump's January 6 pardons but just three minutes covering Biden's pardoning of his own family, new analysis has found. Between January 20 and January 22, ABC, NBC and CBS devoted 15 times as much airtime to Trump's pardons than they did Biden's, the analysis by The Media Research Center found. The anchors who led the coverage included ABC's George Stephanopoulos and CBS's Norah O'Donnell. Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons for family members James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden in the final hours of his administration.

Target has been banned from participating in the Minneapolis Pride parade after the retail store decided to axe its DEI program. The retailer has long supported Twin Cities Pride, but after news broke of the company deciding to cut back on its policies, the pride organization's Executive Director Andi Otto banished the store and its $55,000 in funding. The parade organization took to social media on Sunday to share that the company's decision - announced in a newsletter on Friday - was 'the breaking point', even though Target was expected to sponsor the parade again this year.

Swedish authorities have launched a preliminary investigation into suspected sabotage and detained a vessel in the Baltic Sea after damage was reported to an undersea data cable between Latvia and Sweden. Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze said early Monday that the cable was “significantly damaged” but the operator was prepared, so “we have not suffered any loss of data or transmission.” [SNIP] This is the latest in a string of ruptures of undersea cables in a vast underwater network of conduits that carry gas, electricity and internet traffic to millions of people across Northern Europe.

Just the other day, a local technical college near Stuttgart, Germany, rang Kai Höss with alarming news. Someone had been etching swastikas on the doors of the loos. This followed a number of student protests against Israeli operations in Gaza. Might Kai give a talk to the students? He did not hesitate. Days later he was addressing a packed assembly, reading a first-hand account of scenes from the death camp at Auschwitz. [SNIP] Kai speaks with a unique authority. The author of those accounts was not some terrified witness. He was Kai's grandfather Rudolf Höss, commandant of Auschwitz.

The corrupt ANC government just starved dozens of black miners to death to gain control over the diamond trade. The regime suffered a massive decline in popularity forcing it to cut deals even as it hiked welfare spending and taxes. [SNIP] President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday signed the Expropriation Bill into law. In a statement, the Presidency said the Bill allows for local, provincial and national authorities “to expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons that seek, among others, to promote inclusivity and access to natural resources”.

On Monday, a House Democrat introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, kicking off a bid that has virtually no chance of succeeding in the Republican-led Congress. The impeachment resolution from Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) accuses Trump of “high crimes and misdemeanors” over alleged constitutional violations related to taxpayer funds, deportations, tariffs, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort led by Elon Musk, retaliation against the press, and others. “Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” Thanedar said

With the average cost of a new car edging toward the $50,000 mark, affordable, basic transportation is becoming increasingly difficult for many Americans. Slate, a new EV startup backed by Jeff Bezos, believes its new $25,000 pickup truck, which could cost less than $20,000 with tax credits, could help change that, its CEO, Chris Barman, told Business Insider. "There's a massive population of people out there when it comes to safe, reliable, affordable transportation; there just really aren't many alternatives for them," Barman said in an interview ahead of the unveiling of the new EV this week.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), during a ridiculous "sit-in" on the steps of the Capitol, invoked Civil War-era rhetoric to portray Democrats as "patriots" and the Republican party as "traitors." Jeffries' controversial comments came during a staged protest on the steps of Congress, where he was initially joined by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ/Sparta) and then accompanied by several other Democrats and their colleagues. This was by design, an attempt to make their "sit-in" appear to be an organic swelling of support—impressive in their own minds, much like Booker's fake 25-hour filibuster. Rev. William Barber joined the exercise in futility. He discussed putting “principles over party," triggering Jeffries to
