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.

The fact that Boston is not in the HOF severely diminishes its credibility.

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."

Thousand-year-old prophecy predicts next
Pope after Francis dies... and issues
a chilling warning for humanity

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.

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”.

Even as talks progress and President Donald Trump says there is hope for a deal, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky made clear he rejects President Donald Trump’s proposal to recognise Russia’s occupation of Crimea as a price of peace, saying the Ukrainian constitution calls for nothing less than absolute victory. This week, President Donald Trump said in interview with Time Magazine that one of the ultimate outcomes of the war will be that “Crimea will stay with Russia”, and later that a deal was close, with Ukraine and Russia needing now to meet in person in negotiations for the first time to “finish it off”.

New details about the fatal helicopter-plane crash near DC’s Reagan Airport reveal the female pilot was repeatedly ignored warnings from her male co-pilot to turn away but she flew right into the passenger jet. An American Airlines flight carrying approximately 64 souls collided with a Blackhawk helicopter near Washington D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA) in late January. All 64 passengers in the jet were killed. The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash. A preliminary FAA report indicated that staffing at the DCA Air Traffic Control tower was “not normal” at the time of the helicopter-plane collision.

House Republican leaders are considering making some of the key tax benefits that President Donald Trump promised on the 2024 campaign trail only temporary policies in the reconciliation bill that's currently being crafted. A "sunset" period of four years is under consideration for policies such as eliminating taxes on tips, Social Security benefits and overtime pay, Just the News has learned. The move has drawn criticism from a budget watchdog group, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which has described the possibility of scoring certain tax benefits as temporary rather than permanent to estimate the full cost of the package as "manipulation" that wouldn't show the true cost.

Conservative skeptics were calling for an audit into COVID deaths from the very beginning, certain that things weren’t quite adding up.

Now that we are several years removed, people are finally looking into exactly how COVID deaths were categorized in Greece.

Another week where America turns its attention to a rotten judiciary which is fast erasing any respect we once had for it. As the prior outrageous injunctions by numbers of (judge shopped) District Courts make their way up the judicial ladder, even more of them were issued this week. I think everything the President has done is the object of at least one District Court injunction. In the meantime, corruption of the judiciary has become so overt that two judges were placed under arrest this week. The case that particularly caught my attention this week unsurprisingly is once again from the District of Columbia.

Racist wackjob Joy Reid recently went on a racist rant, crediting White people for the fall of Rome, suggesting that Whites will be responsible for the United States’ collapse, and embracing Great Replacement. Someone should tell Reid, who apparently flunked history class, that the fall of the Roman Empire had several causes, none of them being a lack of diversity. One cause, however, is believed to be non-citizens, their inability to assimilate into Roman culture, and Rome’s DEI policies that welcomed immigrants to serve in the military.

He insulted President Trump’s efforts to make tariffs fair, and presented Democrats as the only ones standing up for American values. He suggested everyone is upset with the President’s agenda. It didn’t stop there. “We’re dealing with a very, different America. We’re dealing with constituents who are understandably concerned at the unprecedented events that we’ve seen unfold,” Jeffries said. He is undermining President Trump’s efforts to get trade deals.

State governments refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration law because they reject the idea is an insurrection. And it ought to be treated like one. Whether it’s Gov. Newsom in California or Gov. Evers in Wisconsin, state governors ordering employees to obstruct ICE is a Fort Sumter moment. The State of Wisconsin guidance to “state employees encountering ICE or other federal agents at their workplace” tells them to ask for their budgets, tell them to sit in a “public area” , not allow them to “enter into a non-public area” and to refuse to cooperate without contacting a lawyer.
