Committee Chairman
It was not that long ago that I was left speechless when my musical hero, David Bowie died a few months ago. It has happened for me again as Muhammad Ali, “The Greatest” died at age 74. There is absolutely nothing I can tell you about Ali, that you don’t already know. This was not just a boxer, but a man of unique conviction who always stood up for what he believed in and was not just a sporting icon but one who transcended sports the world over. The photo of him destroying Sonny Liston hangs over my desk, videos…

“I don’t want to be a belong to any club that will accept me as a member.” Ok, that Groucho Marx quote isn’t exactly accurate, but Steve Miller still isn’t happy about being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As we discussed previously, Miller was quite vocal about his distaste for the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony, of which he was finally inducted after a long wait. Miller infamously railed on the Hall at the post ceremony press conference but on the Howard Stern Show, he had a lot more to say: “It's gonna get…

You can always count on Slipknot’s Corey Taylor for speaking his mind, so when Loudwire asked him his thoughts on the Gene Simmons/N.W.A. controversy, you have to know that he would not skirt the issue. He had the following to say: “I see what Gene's saying, and, you know, I'm old-school guy as well; I get it. But at the same time, the more I look at what N.W.A. did, man, I mean, they influenced me, and I'm a rock and roll guy. So how do they not deserve to be in there? To me, bands like that, bands like…
