UPDATED BAND STANDINGS HERE
While you’re at it, go read up on BLONDIE CHAPLIN and RICKY FATAAR. Like many white Americans, I’m trying to do more listening than talking, as quite frankly, I really don’t know as much as any of us should. But if there’s one thing I absolutely know, it’s The Beach Boys. In the early 70s, Brian Wilson quit, Bruce Johnston was fired, David Marks declined an invitation to rejoin, and Dennis Wilson was forced to stop drumming due to a hand injury. Its future uncertain, the band recruited Blondie and Ricky to stabilize its sound both in the studio and onstage - earning them Rolling Stone’s “Live Band of the Year” honors in 1974. Though I remain doubtful of any further reunions, I hope if one takes place, Blondie and Ricky are invited to join Brian, Mike, Dave, Al and Bruce one last time.
And speaking of music from the 70s…
The Village People asked President Trump to stop playing their song “Macho Man” at his rallies. While the cop from The Village People beat up the rest of The Village People.
Yep, The Village People asked Trump to stop playing “Macho Man.” Instead, he’ll play their other song: “In The Navy, But Bone Spurs…”
Trump tweeted that Martin Gugino, the 75-year-old man who was knocked over by Buffalo police, “fell harder than he was pushed.” Then he said, “And if you look close, the cop who pushed him is clearly Joe Scarborough! COVER-UP!”
Yep, Trump defended police for knocking down a 75-year-old. But it’ll even out in November when Trump gets knocked down by a 77-year-old.
A new poll has Joe Biden ahead of Trump by 14 points. “And you can always count on polls!” said President Hillary Clinton.
This is pretty gruesome: a pig’s head was left outside an LAPD police station. But that would explain why today’s episode of “Looney Tunes” just kept going.
The editor of Bon Appétit magazine, Adam Rapaport has resigned in what many are calling the most shocking white-guy-in-blackface scandal all minute.
NASCAR’s only black driver, Bubba Wallace asked that tracks ban the Confederate flag. He also asked police to stop pulling him over during races.
Baseball umpire Angel Hernandez is in trouble for eavesdropping on a phone call between MLB officials and another umpire. Marking the first call Hernandez didn’t miss.
I read that free drink coupons are currently useless on Southwest Airlines flights, because they haven’t resumed alcohol service. While boarding passes are useless, as the pilots won’t return until they resume alcohol service.
Renovations to the Golden Gate Bridge have caused it to make an odd singing noise. Even worse – at the end of each song, it says to go check out its SoundCloud.
Researchers found that using contraceptives can make women gain weight. While not using contraceptives can…well, make women gain weight.
Officials in Detroit busted a man sneaking cocaine in from Canada using a submarine. They knew something was up when people on a bridge heard a boat singing.
