Dean Obeidallah at The Dean's Report:

Just about every conversation featuring legal experts in the media talking about Donald Trump's conduct includes the line: "If he were anyone else, he'd already be in jail." That tells you that Trump continues to receive special treatment. I don’t know about you, but I’m thoroughly disgusted with this special treatment for a man who attempted a coup, incited the Jan 6 attack, is charged with 88 felonies for a range of crimes including violating the Espionage Act and who is now attacking the family of the New York judge handling his criminal case there. It’s long, long past time this ends. And the way to do that is for the New York judge presiding over his election fraud case--where Trump faces 34 felonies--to order him held in custody for contempt until his April 15 trial begins.

Last week, the judge handling this case, Juan Merchan, imposed a gag order that prohibited Trump from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, jurors and court staff--as well as their relatives. In response, Trump repeatedly attacked the Judge’s daughter by name as being biased for working for organizations tied to Democrats. Trump even posted a news article to his Truth Social platform that displayed two pictures of Ms. Merchan. In addition, Trump continued to repeat a lie that the judge’s wife had posted a photo online of Trump in prison. In reality, the social media account at issue—as Trump has been told in the past--had no connection to Merchan’s wife.

Those posts by Trump, while violating the spirit of the gag order, did not violate the express language because that prior order did not cover the family of the judge. But before we address the law, please understand that that there’s only one reason Trump is targeting the judge’s family: To incite threats and potentially violence against them by Trump supporters. Trump is attempting to intimidate the judge by saying if you rule against me on key issues, we know who your family is. It’s the same message Trump wants to send to potential witnesses and jurors in the case, namely, we may not be able to get to you, but we will come after your family. Former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi explained on my SiriusXM show Monday that Trump is using mob tactics to intimidate witnesses and others by inciting threats against their family.   Figliuzzi even shared that in one case he handled, a family member of a witness was killed.  

[...]

Getting back to this case, the Manhattan DA—in their pleading to expand the original gag order to protect Judge Marchan’s family—correctly noted, “There is no constitutional right to target the family of this Court.” The prosecutor then continued with a very accurate statement: “Defendant knows what he is doing, and everyone else does too.”

The DA is correct. We all know what Trump is doing: He is trying to intimidate the judge, witnesses, prosecutors and prospective witnesses.  That is exactly what Bragg’s team explained, writing: “We all know exactly what defendant intends because he has said for decades that it is part of his life philosophy to go after his perceived opponents ‘as viciously and as violently’ as he can.” The prosecutors added that Trump, “promised very recently that “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!’ He is carrying out that promise right now.” That led to Judge Marchan’s ruling Monday night expanding the original gag order to protect his own family from Trump. (Take that in for a moment.) The Judge wrote in his opinion that Trump’s  “pattern of attacking family members of presiding jurists and attorneys assigned to his cases serves no legitimate purpose.”  Rather, “It merely injects fear in those assigned or called to patriciate in the proceedings, that not only they, but their family members as well, are "fair game" for Defendant's vitriol.”

The judge then warned, “The average observer, must now, after hearing defendant’s recent attacks, draw the conclusion that if they become involved in these proceedings, even tangentially, they should worry not only for themselves, but for their loved ones as well.”  He added, “Such concerns will undoubtedly interfere with the fair administration of justice and constitutes a direct attack on the Rule of Law itself.” The judge later emphasized this very point, writing, “Again, all citizens, called upon to participate in these proceedings, whether as a juror, a witness, or in some other capacity, must now concern themselves not only with their own personal safety, but with the safety and the potential for personal attacks upon their loved ones.” The judge added, “That reality cannot be overstated.”

Dean Obeidallah is right. Donald Trump continues to get special treatment for committing crimes that would have seen a commoner be thrown in prison a long time ago. Trump should be in jail until at least his trial for repeatedly breaking gag orders.

LZZY HALE: New HALESTORM Music 'Will Be Worth The Wait'

During an appearance on the May 23 episode of SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", HALESTORM frontwoman Lzzy Hale spoke about the progress of the writing and recording sessions for the band's follow-up to 2022's "Back From The Dead" album. She said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): It's a strange year because instead of us taking three months off to do a record, or 'hey, now we're only focusing on touring' or 'we're only focusing on other avenues,' we're kind of doing everything all at once. So we've had a couple just kind of three-week sessions in the studio, and we're finishing up new music, which has been so exciting. We've been recording with [producer] Dave Cobb, of all people, and he's just amazing and, I think, exactly what the doctor ordered for where we're at in our life. And so we're really excited about new music. But then we're touring all over the States this year because we spent so much time in Europe last year. So, yeah, we kick it off with I PREVAIL in July. And then in the fall, we're going out with EVANESCENCE to Canada, for all the people up there. It's how we live. This is life. We just keep the train rolling down the hill. So it's all very exciting. And I can't wait for you to hear the music, and I can't wait to see everybody this summer at all the festivals. And yeah, we just have a a great year coming up."

Asked how fan along she and the rest of HALESTORM are on the new music, Lzzy said: "This has been an amazing experience because Dave Cobb, he's like half wise old oak and then half A.D.D. five-year-old in the sandbox, which works very well with our little camp in HALESTORM, because we're all perpetually 15 years old anyway. And so it's been a beautiful process.

"We've been doing all the things," she explained. "So I've been writing during our off time, but then also we're writing and recording in the studio, but kind of all at once. So as it's being created, we're getting the final takes. So, half of the record is done, and then there are some things that we have one more session to kind of go in, after our next tour, to kind of just kind of finish everything up, put the icing on the cake, if you will, and make sure we have everything there and then it should be kind of sewn up. But it's been really beautiful because we've been recording, actually, out in Savannah, Georgia. Dave Cobb has a house [there]. And if you can imagine, it's just the four of us staying in one house. No distractions, 'cause it's Savannah, Georgia — they love their tea and they love their food and that's about it. And unsupervised, so there's no managers, there's no crew, no tour and nothing going on. So, in a lot of ways, this record feels like our beginning, when we were all just kind of living with each other in the same apartment and every day is something new, everything is ready to record, ready to go. So whatever you do, as long as you're chasing what gets you excited, it's going to get down on tape. So, it's just been a great experience. And I'm looking forward to the finished product and being able to tease everybody with dates as to when we're gonna unleash it."

Speaking about Cobb's somewhat unorthodox recording approach, Lzzy said: "There've been a couple of songs where we'll have forgotten to put on the click track as a guide, and then that ends up being the take because we were all playing with each other and there was a different energy. Or [Dave] really understands the line between when you're excited about something and it's happening, and then that post, after that line when you're trying too hard to rock, or you're trying too hard to be a singer, or you've memorized it too many times. There's a fine line with performance and getting magic on tape, whereas a lot of people are… I mean, we all do it, but you shoot for perfection. But somewhere, if you're shooting too hard for that perfection, the human element gets lost. And then the magic is lost, or it just sounds like you're reading it, or it sounds like you've played it a million times and you're tired, or you're thinking about something else. So, for a band like us, it's really worked. And it was actually nerve-racking in the beginning because we went in, and you always have your bank of songs you've written or riffs for days and, like, 'Okay, what do we start with? And Dave was very adamant about not having a plan, which was nerve-racking. I'm, like, 'Wait. No, we have to have a plan or it's just gonna be chaos. What's happening? I don't know how to work like this.' And then, after a couple of days, I'm, like, this is actually really nice because every day we just get in the sandbox and we play, and, 'Oh, I brought a LEGO set, you brought a rocket. Let's see what we can do with this.' And so it's been really beautiful to see these things develop and almost the music telling you what to do, not the other way around. I'm so used to going into a studio where it's, 'Okay, we have our 15 songs that we know we want on the record, and we're just gonna do a song a day and get them all done and recorded.' This is completely different because he doesn't want to lose — again — that intangible magic that comes with the excitement of when things are new and you're creating. You don't have time to think; you've just gotta get it done. And so it's been beautiful to kind of. see all of that come together."

Asked if she thinks HALESTORM will release some new music this year or fans will have to wait until 2025 to get something fresh from the band, Lzzy said: "You know what? I've learned this — I can make all the promises in the world. I would love to do that. I'm hoping that we will at least have something to show before the end of the year, but I know how this goes — I end up promising dates, and then something happens and some recall from mastering or something doesn't work out with numbers or with whatever it is. So I'm not making promises, but I will tell you it'll be worth the wait."

HALESTORM is working with Cobb after making three records with Nick Raskulinecz.

Cobb has shared in nine Grammy wins, including four for "Best Americana Album" and three for "Best Country Album". He's also been named "Producer Of The Year" by the Country Music Awards, the Americana Music Association (twice) and the Music Row Awards, and has been a Grammy nominee in the category.

Lzzy and her brother Arejay (drums) formed HALESTORM in 1998 while in middle school. Guitarist Joe Hottinger joined the group in 2003, followed by bassist Josh Smith in 2004.

Fox News only gets progressively worse and more racist. Don’t be fooled. They won’t ever change.

NEW YORK (AP) — Before ousting Tucker Carlson, Fox News had twice fired wildly popular hosts – and both times the network recovered better than the stars it cut loose.

Fox’s dismissals of Glenn Beck in 2011 and Bill O’Reilly in 2017 offer lessons in what the post-Carlson fallout might be. Carlson was let go on Monday, less than a week after Fox agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787 million for airing bogus claims of voter fraud following the 2020 election.

Fox’s two most popular programs last year — Carlson’s being one of them — were the replacements for Beck and O’Reilly.

“It seems like the parts are interchangeable,” said SiriusXM and CNN personality Michael Smerconish. “They’ve built a machine over there that seems to function even when the pistons are replaced.”

Hi!! I love your fics so much, I update every day hoping to see a new one hehe. I want to ask you for a fic where Felix from Stray Kids got a cold and he is in a mess of tears, snot (maybe a lot of snz?), etc. and is embarrassed by his appearance, and the members (mostly chan) prove to him that he is beautiful in any form. oh and sorry for the mistakes, english is not my native language

Here it is, hope you enjoy

Happy or Sneezy

Felix knew that he was sick when he had gone to sleep the previous night. He had had a sore throat the majority of the day and congestion had settled into his sinuses by the time night fell. He knows that the general progression of his colds are sore throat, followed by congestion, followed by a lot of coughing. So he planned accordingly with a box of tissues and lots of tea and cough drops.

When Felix had woken up, his nose was completely clogged, which didn’t surprise him. What did surprise him was the burning he was feeling in his nose. He brought his hand up to his nose and rubbed at the appendage.

"Heh-sdzzshhh, hih-stieshhh." Felix cringed at the spray that landed on his hand and the snot that was now dripping from his nose. He grabbed a tissue and blew his nose rather productively and noticed that there was still a lingering itch. The Aussie sighed as he got up to get ready for the day. Only the change in posture caused the mucus in his sinuses to shift, and Felix found himself grabbing more tissues as his nose became a faucet.

Getting dressed was far more difficult than it needed to be. His nose had quickly gone into the state of being extremely runny yet at the same time so clogged you couldn’t blow it. The congestion also caused his eyes to start watering. Basically, Felix was a mess and it wasn’t even ten o’clock. He quickly decided that he was going to wear a mask outside his room so that he wouldn’t be snotting everywhere. Felix left his room to go get breakfast and he stopped just short of the dining room.

“HEH-SHDZZZSHHH, HIH-STSCHHHH, HEH-STIESHHHH!” He groaned at the wetness he felt in the mask and used the now useless mask to blow his nose as he removed it. He then went back to his room to grab a new mask. When Felix returned to the dining room, he huffed in frustration as he sat down.

“Are you okay hyung, those sneezes didn’t sound good?” Jeongin said this as he placed his hand on his hyung’s forehead  to check for a fever.

“Woke up with a cold. Don’t feel great. But I’m fine.” Felix’ voice was rather thick with congestion, showing just how ineffective blowing his nose was. Minho and Seungmin came in with breakfast and sat down at the table as well.

“Last night Chan-hyung texted me the times of our interviews today. It looks like management decided to add another interview since they’re all zoom calls. We’re interviewing with Cosmopolitan, iheartradio, SiriusXM, Zach Sang, and Elle Korea.” Felix felt his eyes widened, as he had completely forgotten that the day was going to be full of interviews instead of lessons at the company building.

Felix hadn’t even taken his mask off to eat yet. He grabbed the plate that was full of food and stood up. “I’m not doing the interviews today.” He then turned around and went back to his room.

“That was weird.” Seungmin said, staring in the direction of their bed rooms with a concerned look on his face.

“You heard those sneezes Min. He probably just doesn’t feel good. We can talk to Chan about him having a sick day.” Minho responded. Jeongin shook his head at that.

“Hyung, he told me that he doesn’t feel great, but that he’s fine. I’m pretty sure he was planning on attending schedules today, so it’s probably related to the interviews.” Silence fell over the trio as they ate, the subject temporarily dropped.

“I’m going to talk to him.” Minho said as he stood up. Seungmin and Jeongin started to clean up the dishes.

“Yongbokkie, why don’t you want to do the interview?” Minho asked through Felix’ closed door. The first response the dance got was a series of very congested sneezing followed by an attempted nose blow.

“I’m all snotty and gross. I refuse to appear on camera like this.”

“Felix, why not just wear a mask?”

“It’s not going to be helpful if I have to repeatedly remove it to blow my nose.” Minho sighed as it seemed that he wouldn’t be able to talk Felix into attending the interviews. He called Chan to get the younger Aussie the day off.

Chan was actually sleeping for once when he was startled awake by his phone ringing. It took a minute for the leader to fully register what had woken him up, then a couple of seconds to locate his phone.

"Hello," Chan tiredly said.

"Hyung, Felix is sick and doesn't want to do the interviews because of his current appearance. Anyway, he's currently locked himself in his room." Minho hung up before Chan could properly respond, leaving the leader to confusedly stare at his phone for a moment before his brain started working. He got up and made his way to the other dorm, sleepily greeting his dorm mates on the way out.

Chan was at the other dorm within a couple of minutes. After hastily greeting Minho, Seungmin, and Jeongin, Chan made his way to Felix’ room.

"Lix, Minho tells me you're sick. What are your symptoms?" Chan was initially met with silence. After a moment of no answer, he tested the door knob and found that it wasn’t actually locked. He entered the room and immediately became concerned when he heard sniffling.

To Chan the sniffling sounded more like crying sniffles than sick sniffles, so the leader instantly became a bit concerned about the other Aussie. Chan quickly went over to his dongsaeng to comfort him.

“Felix, you don’t need to be upset about being sick.” Chan went to place his hand on the younger’s back, but Felix seemingly flinched away before he was able to do so.

“HEH-ZDTSHHH, HIH-STISHHHH, HEH-STZDSHHHH” Chan cringed a little at just how wet the sneezes sounded. He then watched as Felix grabbed some tissues and very productively blew his nose.

“So, aside from those awful sneezes, what are your symptoms?” Chan sat down next to Felix and felt his forehead, not feeling any unusual warmth.

“My throat hurts and I’m extremely congested. Also my nose won’t stop running.” Felix grabbed several tissues to blow his nose with, but seeing as he was so congested, all he managed to do was absorb the mucus that was laying on his philtrum and whatever was presently directly inside his nostrils.

“Lix, you know that the managers aren’t likely to give you the day off just because of a cold right?” Chan felt for the younger, but he was also well acquainted with the company’s sick policies. Unless he had a fever, was experiencing abdominal issues, or was otherwise sidelined by a doctor, everyone was expected to attend their schedules.

“I know that hyung, but today’s schedule is all zoom interviews. I’m all snotty and gross. No one is going to want to see me on camera. If we were j-just spending the d-day at the company, it would b-be different. HEH-SDZSHHHH, HIH-SDZSHIIEWW!” As if to prove a point on being snotty and gross, there was a visible strand of mucus going down past Felix’ chin as he hadn’t quite managed to cover. He quickly grabbed another couple of tissues to clean himself up.

“Lix, I assure you that you’re not as gross as you think you are. You can take some medicine that will hopefully lessen your symptoms at least a little bit. And you can wear a mask during the interviews so that no one can see your dripping nose.” Felix pouted a little at Chan’s words, but agreed to take some medicine.

Unfortunately, the medicine hadn’t helped much, at all. At most it relieved a small amount of the congestion. However, his nose was still dripping like a leaky faucet and blowing his nose still wasn’t helping. Seeing as Chan was correct in that management wasn’t going to give him a day off for a minor cold, Felix put a mask on and reluctantly got into the car.

Not even five minutes into the car ride to the company building, it became very apparent to Felix that his nose was far too runny for a mask to be useful. There was a visible wet spot on the outside of his mask where the mucus had soaked through. Felix took off his soiled mask and replaced it with a couple of tissues, which he knew would wind up soiled in a few minutes as well. He decided that even though he was being made to go to the company building, he wasn’t going to attend the interviews.

As soon as the group was parked in front of the building, Felix made a mad dash for the bathroom. Minho, Seungmin, Jeongin, and Chan didn’t look too surprised by this, as they already knew he didn’t want to be in front of a camera in his current state. However, Changbin, Jisung, and Hyunjin had no idea what was going on and they were all a bit concerned. The three members who didn’t know exactly what was going on chased after him before Chan or one of the others could take charge. Ultimately the others also followed the group.

Felix had gone into the very first stall of the bathroom and locked the door. He was adamant about not coming out. They all got to the bathroom at roughly the same time, and Felix was in the midst of a sneezing fit. Chan, Minho, Seungmin, and Jeongin were completely unbothered by how wet the fit sounded because they had been listening to Felix all morning. Changbin, Hyunjin, and Jisung on the other hand were visibly cringing at the sound.

“Felix, I already told you that you won’t be able to get the day off today. You have to go to the interviews.”

“I’m snotty and gross, and I’m not going on camera like this.” Felix said for the third time that day.

“Lix, I already told you, Stay is not going to care if you’re snotty and gross. The last thing they want is us freaking out about our appearances. They love your freckles, and they’re definitely not going to mind some temporary issue. If you’re a bit sneezy during-” Chan was abruptly cut off by Jisung

“Sneezy! That’s it! All of these interviews are going to be aired on Halloween right?” Jisung waited for confirmation from Chan before continuing.

“We just wear costumes. Specifically Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.” Felix opened up the stall door and blankly stared at Jisung.

“Yeah, Chan hyung can be Doc, Minho hyung Bashful, Changbin hyung Grumpy, Seungmin Happy, Jeongin Sleepy, I’ll be Dopey, you’ll be Sneezy, and Hyunjin will be Snow White.” It suddenly got very loud once JIsung finished explaining. However Felix was full on laughing at this.

“As much as that idea is stupid, it’s also hilarious. I’ll do the interview if everyone agrees to this.” Felix said before grabbing some toilet paper to blow his nose.

The others were quick to agree and Chan texted their manager telling him the slight change in plans. Thankfully, the company had the costumes on hand for themed dance practice videos, so it was just getting them out of storage.

All eight of them looked rather ridiculous in their outfits and makeup. Their first interview was with the Zach Sang show, and The group’s outfit was the first thing he talked about. The group introduced themselves as the character they were dressed as.

“Felix, since you’re known as the sunshine of the group, why aren’t you Happy?” Zach asked.

“It’s fairly simple Zach. I cau-STZSHHHH, HEH-SDZSHHHHIESHH. Sorry. I caught a bit of a cold, and with how sneezy I am it was decided I should be Sneezy.” Zach blessed him and wished him well before moving on to the other members and asking them why they were their character. He then moved on with the interview.

The other interview went a little bit similarly as the interviewer wasn’t expecting them to be dressed up. Otherwise the interviews went rather smoothly. By the time the last interview was over, Felix was feeling quite exhausted. Chanbin was practically supporting all his weight as they walked to the van.

“Chan hyung,” Felix mumbled in his half asleep state once he was in the van.

“What is it, Pixie?” The leader asked.

“Thanks for the pep talks, I don’t think I’d have gone along with Sungie’s plan without your reminders.” Felix said with a yawn

“No problem Lix.” Chan said before turning to his phone to review the following day’s schedule. Within minutes, Felix could be heard softly snoring through the van and the rest of the members agreed to be quiet so that Felix could get some rest.

Wolfgang Van Halen, the ex-bassist of the band Van Halen and son of the late guitarist Eddie Van Halen, has offered an update on the progress of the recording sessions for the second Mammoth WVH album. The effort will be the follow-up to "Mammoth WVH", which arrived in June 2021, some five years after the now-31-year-old musician began piecing together ideas for his solo career.

Speaking to Metal Talk, Wolfgang said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I'm about halfway through [the recording process]. I got a bunch of stuff recorded before we started on this tour. And then once I go home, I'll have a little holiday break, but then in January I'm gonna finish it. So it'll be ready to be released some time next year."

This past March, Wolfgang said during an appearance on "Whiplash", the KLOS radio show hosted by Full Metal Jackie, that he was hoping to begin working on the follow-up to "Mammoth WVH" at some point in the not-too-distant future. "Basically, I certainly don't wanna take as long as it did," he explained. "I think throughout that first process, I was really just figuring out what it was and who I was as my own artist, finding my own sound and discovering who I was as a lead singer, as a songwriter. But when it comes to the next album, now that I've figured out what this is and who I am, within the context of it, I'm really excited to figure out how to condense that process to as an efficient of time as possible, so I can get an album done in a third of the time while it being twice as good. It's always a personal challenge."

In February, Wolfgang told SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk" that he had already gathered plenty of material for Mammoth WVH's sophomore effort. "I'm very ready to get back in the studio," he said. "We have some leftover tracks from the first album that I'd like to take another look at — maybe add stuff or maybe redo entirely — and then a bunch of new ideas to get into."

Mammoth WVH's debut album was released via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records.

Featuring Wolfgang on vocals and all instruments, "Mammoth WVH" was met with positive reviews and topped Billboard's Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Rock Albums charts.

Mammoth WVH's first single, "Distance", reached No. 1 on the MediaBase and BDS Active Rock Radio charts. A tribute to Wolfgang's father, the song was not originally intended to be on Mammoth WVH's debut album, but due to the overwhelming response to its accompanying video, which has been viewed over six million times on YouTube, it was added as a bonus track. All of Wolfgang's proceeds from "Distance" are being donated to Mr. Holland's Opus.

"Distance" is an open letter to Wolfgang's father, declaring "no matter what the distance is, I will be with you." The video for the song is created from a collection of family home movies through the years and offers an inside look in to one of music's most notable personalities. Chronicling the family through the years, the video ends with a touching voicemail left from Eddie to his son.

Asked why he decided to play all the instruments on Mammoth WVH's first LP, Wolfgang said in a 2021 interview: "I just figured since I could play everything, I wanted to see if I could do it. [Laughs] Basically, I just wanted to see. And then, since I could — at least I think I could; I guess it's up to everybody else to decide — I had such a fun time in the studio that I'm looking forward to getting back in there and doing it [again]."

In November 2020, Wolfgang confirmed that he asked his father for permission to use the Mammoth WVH band name for his solo project. Mammoth WVH is a nod to family history — Eddie and Alex Van Halen's band was called MAMMOTH when singer David Lee Roth first joined it in 1974.

Mammoth WVH's touring lineup features Wolfgang on guitar and lead vocals, Frank Sidoris (Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators) on guitar, Jon Jourdan on guitar and vocals, Garrett Whitlock (Tremonti) on drums, and Ronnie Ficarro on bass.

Mammoth WVH made its television debut in February 2021, performing "Distance" on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and running through an exclusive acoustic arrangement on "Today".

On November 11, Mammoth WVH released a digital deluxe edition of the debut album via EX1 Records. The new digital deluxe features the bonus track from the Japanese version of the album, "Talk & Walk", as well as two previously unreleased tracks, "As Long As You're Not You" and "Goodbye".

OZZY OSBOURNE announces his retirement from the stage

February 1, 2023

Two years ago, the iconic Ozzy Osbourne told the British newspaper Daily Mirror that he would never retire. "Do you know the time when I will retire? When I can hear them closing the lid on my coffin! Then, fuck it. I'll do an encore!" he emphasized. "I am the Prince of Darkness," he added at the time. However, unfortunately the Madman was forced to change his plans due to the current conditions of his health. In the early hours of this Wednesday (01), through his social networks, Ozzy announced his retirement from the stage:

"This is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to share with my loyal fans," Ozzy lamented in the caption of his announcement, which reads:

"As you all may know, four years ago this (same) month, I had a major accident where I damaged my spine.

My only purpose during that time was to get back on stage. My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently the innovative Cybernetic Treatment (HAL), my body is still physically weak.

Honestly, I am humbled by the way you have patiently held your tickets for all this time, but in good conscience, I now realize that I am not physically able to make my upcoming European/British tour dates, as I know I could not handle the necessary travel. Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really fucks me up more than you will ever know.

I never would have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way. My team is currently getting ideas of where I can perform without having to travel from city to city and country to country.

I want to thank my family, my band, my staff, my longtime friends, Judas Priest, and of course my fans for their endless dedication, loyalty and support, and for giving me the life I never dreamed I would have. I love you all.

Recently, Ozzy spoke in an interview on SiriusXM Ozzy's Boneyard about how terrible it has been living with the pain in his spine: "It's really horrible what's happening. It's a nightmare. Sometimes I forget. I'm lying on the couch, I go to get up and I can't. My sense of balance is all over the place. My sense of balance is all over the place. I have physical therapy and am trying to do things on my own. The progress is... Fucking hell, you have no idea," lamented the Madman, who currently walks by leaning on a cane. "The thing is, my head is fine, my creativity is fine, my singing is fine, but I just can't walk much right now," he said. "But I'm determined to be back on stage, even if I'm nailing it to a board with wheels on it.

In this interview Ozzy still seemed excited and confident about the possibility of getting back on stage: "I still have a full tank. I'm determined to get back on stage again. I'm still recovering and I have a goal. And my goal is to get back on stage. It is the driving force in me. I miss my audience. I miss doing shows. I miss my crew. I miss my band. I miss the whole thing," he added. "My family has been very good. I'm the man of the house, but I've never been so bedridden in my life," he concluded.

As is well known, Ozzy is living with Parkinson's Disease, but in addition he has been dealing with problems with his vertebrae, something that forced him to undergo a series of surgeries in the second half of 2022. According to Sharon Osbourne, his wife and manager, the surgery would determine "what his life will be like from now on. Ozzy Osbourne's health has been in trouble since 2003, when the legendary original Black Sabbath singer crashed his quad while touring his mansion in London.

Unfortunately, by greater forces, we are witnessing the end of an era. The closing of one of the most important and pioneering chapters in the history of heavy metal. One of the fathers of heavy music, Ozzy Osbourne gave us the gift of his work with Black Sabbath and continued with a beautiful solo career. Like the warrior that he is, he still worked hard to release two last studio albums, Ordinary Man (2020) and Patient Number 9 (2022). Although it is clear that the Madman is no longer able to travel, we hope that he will at least be able, if possible, to continue releasing new music, because it will be hard to live with his absence from the music scene. However, if Patient Number 9 was really the last album of the Prince of Darkness, we can only thank and applaud him for all his contributions to heavy metal. Thanks for everything Ozzy...❤

Selena Gomez Reveals She 'Got Really Used to' Being Single for Five Years

Image: Instagram In a recent interview with TIME, Selena Gomez opened up about her five-year period of being single before finding love with her current boyfriend, Benny Blanco. The 31-year-old singer and actress reflected on this transformative time, emphasizing how it helped her grow and become comfortable with herself. “A lot of people are afraid of being alone,” Gomez shared. “I was alone for five years, and I got really used to it. I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it.” During this period, she focused on self-reflection and personal growth. She revealed that she had even made a plan to adopt by the age of 35 if she hadn’t met anyone by then. Her time alone allowed Gomez to develop a deeper understanding of herself and what she wanted in life. This period of introspection proved beneficial when she eventually started dating Benny Blanco, whom she had known for years as a friend and collaborator. The “Only Murders in the Building” star mentioned that she once even asked Blanco to help her find a match before they realized their own romantic potential. Selena’s relationship with Benny, who is 36, blossomed unexpectedly. She noted, “It just happens when you least expect it.” Their transition from friends to lovers was a natural progression, and Gomez expressed her happiness and contentment with her current relationship. “I just cherish every moment with him,” she told TIME. “I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that he’s not going anywhere any time soon.” Benny Blanco also shared his feelings about their relationship in an interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show. He expressed his desire to start a family, saying, “I wanna have kids, that’s my next goal. I have a lot of godkids; I got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids.” Blanco agreed with Stern that marriage is likely in their future, though he admitted he doesn’t have a proposal date set yet, jokingly saying, “I gotta get my act together.” Image: Instagram Selena and Benny went public with their romance in December 2023 after dating since mid-year. Their relationship became known to fans when Gomez addressed her relationship status online, sharing sweet photos of them together. Read the full article

The Art Of Kindness Podcast: Making The World A Better Place

I was hired recently to listen to and review several right-wing podcasts on SiriusXM and The Daily Wire. These podcasts are not conservative in the traditional sense because they don't espouse the basic tenets of William F. Buckley and his acolytes. What I listened to was two days of denigrating large swaths of the nation's population. Gays, transgender, climate control advocates, progressives, racial equality advocates, women, and supporters of helping the disadvantaged in our society. These groups were either unholy, groomers, pedophiles, traitors, or just bleeding hearts.

Right after that assignment, I stumbled upon The Art Of Kindness podcast. The show beamed shards of light into my psyche after days of grievance-filled darkness. 

The Art of Kindness (AOK) bills itself as "A positively star-studded podcast that converses with and celebrates artists from all areas of the entertainment industry (Film, TV, Broadway, etc.) who use their platform to make the world a better place. Join The AOK as we sprinkle positivity around like confetti and get to the bottom of what kindness really means through compassionate conversations."

In every episode, host Robert Peterpaul elicits tales from Broadway people about how they sprinkle kindness throughout their world. Peterpaul always asks each guest, "What does kindness mean to you?" He also asks guests how they react to people praising them.

Robert Peterpaul is one of those rare hosts who can be so engaging that, as a listener, you say, "I could listen to him for the entire episode."

Peterpaul could probably carry a one-man show on Broadway. I'd call it, "Peterpaul on Kindness."

As a host, Peterpaul exudes flamboyant energy, crackling with enthusiasm, passion, and a desire to please. He's like a popcorn machine, always bristling with motion and offering his listeners butter on their podcasts.

As an interviewer, Peterpaul channels a gossipy, chatty vibe that relaxes his guests and delights the listeners. Peterpaul bathes in sincerity, and when you hear his life story, you quickly understand that focus on kindness and giving back 

 Robert Peterpaul is an award-winning actor, writer and celebrity interviewer with a passion for storytelling and spreading kindness. A New Jersey native, he discovered his love for the arts at a young age, frequently found either: putting on shows in his living room or browsing the aisles at Blockbuster. At age 9, Robert made his Off-Broadway debut at the York Theatre and from there was cast in the Broadway musical SEUSSICAL. He has been working in the TV/Film and theatre space ever since. 

Robert Peterpaul has also been a writer for over a decade, writing for major publications and shows such as NBC’s America’s Got Talent, Screen Rant, The Huffington Post, Backstage, Casting Networks, Writer’s Weekly, and HOLA! USA, where he was the Head Weekend Editor for six years.  Most importantly, Robert Peterpaul is intent on giving back. It's not just rhetoric for the podcast. 

He and his family formed the nonprofit THE THOMAS PETERPAUL FOUNDATION in honor of his late brother Thomas, who passed away from cancer. TPF has helped countless pediatric cancer patients and their families since its inception. Peterpaul notably teamed up with Novartis and spoke before Congress at the US Capitol on behalf of TPF to get the CAR T Cell Therapy approved (read more in the NY Times). In addition, he works for the nonprofit Women In Entertainment, which assists women both working in and aspiring to work in the entertainment industry.

 During episodes of the show, Peterpaul has the foresight to offer listeners a brief summary of the guest's career (usually Broadway), and that is helpful for non-Broadway listeners. In a fun episode with stage actor Stephanie Block, his summary before the interview gave me an intimate sense of how much she has accomplished in her career. 

One of my favorite episodes is with actor Chris Sarandon, who's probably most famous for his role in The Princess Bride, and his voiceover in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. In the episode, Sarandon tells this story about his daughter as a child, comparing the careers of their fathers. After several children explained their dad's careers -- such as, my dad is a plumber -- Sarandon's daughter exclaimed, "My dad looks for work!" And that, Sarandon noted, is the non-glamorous, gritty reality of being an actor.

Peterpaul is so adept as a host and interviewer that an episode speaking with actor and activist Oliver Reid took place while Reid was inside his gym. With the sound of grunts and weights clinking on the floor, Peterpaul went on as if they were in a soundproof studio. A true professional!

Finally, as a podcast journalist, I thought I knew all the podcast networks, ranging from medium size to the giants like Spotify. 

Was I ever wrong. In researching this podcast, I discovered that The Art Of Kindness is part of the Broadway Podcast Network. 

The Broadway Podcast Network explains itself like this: "We're about creating an engaging, immersive, user-friendly experience where theatre stories of all kinds can be easily found, shared, and enjoyed. Part original programming, part hub for the podcasts you know and love, Broadway Podcast Network is building the perfect hub that includes tremendously talented content creators, all-star hosts, producers, writers, industry leaders, and storytellers of all kinds."

The Broadway Podcast Network offers listeners everything from a  vast range of theatre, TV, and film-related programming, in addition to original radio plays, audio dramas, and even an original soap opera. Podcasts include As The Curtain Rises (a soap opera), The Musicals of Tomorrow, and The Great Game Broadway Game Show.

There's a lot of hate insome news websites and news networks. I recommend a break from name-calling and put-downs, and listen to The Art Of Kindness podcast. You'll discover two things. One, is that kindness, helping others, and caring have not disappeared. Two, is that host Robert Peterpaul was born to be a performer, and he lights the podcast stage with his effervescent hosting skills. 

Even his name -- Robert Peterpaul -- demands attention. After all, who has two first names as a last name? Eat your heart out, Paul Simon. Or is it now Paul SimonPeter?

AUDIEN & CODEKO TEAM UP TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE “ANTIDOTE” FEATURING JT ROACH

GRAMMY-nominated dance music icon Audien, popularly known for songs like the Billboard Top 40 hit “Something Better” with Lady Antebellum and his GRAMMY-nominated remix of Bastille’s “Pompeii,” has teamed up with London-based classically trained musician turned electronic producerCodeko  to release his first song of 2023, “Antidote.” The uplifting progressive house anthem features Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter-producer JT Roach and is available now on all DSPs and streaming services.

Listen in HERE

The positive tone of this progressive house record “speaks of being a source of peace in a world of chaos and toxicity” according to JT Roach. The collaboration between Audien, Codeko and JT Roach brings encouraging lyrics and an uplifting beat that is sure to lift listeners spirits and deter any negative energy. JT Roach’s unique voice fills the room with joy and thirst for life as he swings on the captivated melody.

“Antidote is my first record with Ed, [Codeko]. During the PHND tour, we played a lot of shows together and I truly realized how alike we were. We truly have the same ear for things and I think our heart is in the music similarly. JT was the absolute perfect singer for this as well. The song is about staying centered around commitment, being that person for someone you love. In many ways the music I’m making today is that commitment to myself. Staying true to what speaks to me.” - Audien

Known for his production prowess and uplifting melodies, Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Audien has established himself as an icon in the dance community. A staple in the progressive house genre, he garnered the support of industry veterans such as Tiësto, Above & Beyond and Armin van Buuren through an extensive discography that includes collaborations with the likes of ARTY, MAX and Echosmith, and official remixes of songs by Coldplay, Halsey, Nile Rodgers, Jess Glynne and Calvin Harris. Following three releases in 2022 as part of his Progressive House Never Died movement, concertgoers can look forward to seeing him perform this year at EDC Mexico, Beyond Wonderland, Miami Music Week, Sunset Music Festival, and more.

“Antidote was written when Audien and I were on his tour together towards the end of last year. Our music taste has always been pretty similar and so when he suggested we write something together, it couldn’t have gone much more smoothly. We worked on it traveling between shows in hotels & airports, and within a few days we were already playing it out live. A few weeks later JT tracked the vocals and it was finished!” - Codeko

UK Native Codeko is a classically trained musician turned electronic producer from London. With over 100 million streams to date, Codeko has delivered timeless music through releases on some of the biggest record labels in dance music and has achieved unique accolades such as SiriusXM’s BPM Breaker of The Year and has even delivered an official Electric Zoo Anthem.

“The theme of "Antidote" resonates with me as it speaks of being a source of peace in a world of chaos and toxicity, which many of us definitely can relate to. As many people find their peace alongside sports or hobbies, I found mine across my friends & colleagues who always were there when I needed them the most. Having a strong & supportive community in Los Angeles has helped me make it through the hard times and has become my “Antidote” in my life.” -JT Roach

Michelangelo Signorile at The Signorile Report:

When Jacob Reitan was a student at Mankato West High School in Mankato, Minnesota, where Tim Walz taught social studies in the 1990s—long before a political career that would eventually take him to the Minnesota Governor’s Mansion, and now as the VP running mate on a presidential ticket—Reitan was a student in Gwen Walz’s class.

Reitan was closeted in a time when being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender was deeply shunned by many Americans, particularly in rural and small-town America. Bullying in schools was rampant from big cities to the most remote parts of the country, and it was often dangerous to be openly queer as hate crimes escalated. “Gwen was my English literature teacher in 10th grade,” Reitan told me in an interview on my SiriusXM Progress program. “And in 10th grade, I knew that I was gay, but I was living in the closet of one. It was an echo chamber. I was out to no one, but I was wrestling with this reality. That was difficult because not only did I not tell anyone that I was gay, I also knew no one who was gay.” Reitan, who would go on to become a gay activist in later years and an attorney, remembers feeling very lonely in the small city of Mankato, the county seat of Blue Earth County, 82 miles south of Minneapolis. On the first day of class with Gwen Walz, she said something at the beginning that stirred Reitan.

“She started the class by saying that this was a safe place for gay and lesbian students,” Reitan vividly recalls. “I had never heard any teacher say anything positive about gay kids from the front of the class. My heart was beating out of my chest. I thought, Does she know that I'm gay? Is that why she's saying this? And it stuck with me.” Reitan soon decided to come out as gay, telling his sister and a good friend first. The third person he came out to was Gwen Walz. “Gwen and I had long conversations about being gay, and she talked about being supportive of a previous student of hers who was openly gay when [she and Tim] were teaching in Nebraska and things that they had done to support that student,” he recounted. “And so I knew that Tim and Gwen were supportive people that I could go to.” Within the year, Reitan, the first student at Mankato West to come out as gay, worked with other students and created the gay-straight alliance at Mankato West. As Vice President Harris noted in her introduction of her running mate in Philadelphia two weeks ago, Tim Walz, the social studies teacher and football coach, became the faculty adviser to the group.

Both Tim and Gwen Walz became lifelong friends of Reitan and his family. Reitan told me about how their faith is what guided them in supporting LGBTQ people. “Tim's core is the concept of treating people with compassion, equality, and justice,” Reitan said. “And it's in Gwen's core too. Gwen, in high school, would talk to me about why it was important to her because of her faith.” “We talked about how I come from a Lutheran family. My grandfather was a Lutheran minister, and she would say that it's because of her Lutheran faith that she does this. They're very religious people. Gwen prays every day. Their concept of religion includes treating people equally and justly.” That is enormously powerful to hear at a time when Donald Trump courts Christian nationalists in the evangelical base who demonize LGBTQ people. He’s promised them, as he did in his first term, to strip the rights of LGBTQ people. much of which is outlined in Project 2025.

Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, calls LGBTQ people “groomers"—a grotesque and dangerous lie that implies we are pedophiles—and is opposed to marriage equality and gender-affirming care for transgender people. So the fact that the Walzes supported marriage equality in 2006 as Tim Walz was embarking upon a run for a congressional seat in a rural, red Minnesota district is pretty astounding. That was a time when President George W. Bush was pushing for a federal marriage amendment, and many states had banned same-sex marriage. Even most Democratic elected officials, including those from urban areas, publicly opposed same-sex marriage. In fact, they saw the middle ground—the safe space—in opposing the federal marriage amendment while opposing marriage equality. It was pretty cowardly. But not Tim Walz. Reitan relayed a story from 2006, when Tim and Gwen Walz were mulling over Tim’s possible run for the U.S. House, and they came to his home for dinner.

Jacob Reitan came out as gay in Gwen Walz’s English Lit class in 1999 at Mankato West High School in Mankato, Minnesota. Reitan helped form a gay-straight alliance that year with Gwen and her husband Tim, who taught social studies.

In 2006, when Tim was gearing up for a Congressional run, he supported marriage equality in a time where many elected Democrats still didn’t support marriage equality or LGBTQ+ rights.

In 2004, his ticketmate Kamala Harris fought for marriage equality in California and refused to defend Prop 8 as Attorney General.

Watch: A Bat Lands On THE PRETTY RECKLESS Singer TAYLOR MOMSEN's Leg During Concert In Spain

According to Metal Journal, a bat landed on the left leg of THE PRETTY RECKLESS singer Taylor Momsen during her band's May 29 performance at Estadio La Cartuja in Seville, Spain as the support act for AC/DC.

After playing the fifth song of THE PRETTY RECKLESS's set, "Witches Burn", Taylor addressed the crowd, saying: "You guys are pointing at something, and I wanna know what you're saying." She then looked down at her leg and noticed the bat, after which she return to the microphone and exclaimed: "There's a fucking flying bat on my leg right now. Can someone help me, please? I must really be a witch."

A stage quickly hang came over a removed the bat, prompting Taylor to say: "Gracias. It's all right. And the bat's fine. He's gonna be my new friend," before adding, "Holy fuck."

Guitarist Ben Phillips then told the crowd: "Well, that hasn't happened before." Momsen went on to say: "I'm telling you. I'm a fucking witch. I attract the bats. Someone, bring out a black cat. It's gonna be great."

Phillips said to the audience, "Gracias for pointing it out," before Momsen added: "I thought you were pointing at my SOUNDGARDEN bracelet. And I was, like, 'Oh. Fucking they like SOUNDGARDEN. Awesome."

During an appearance on the May 6 episode of SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", Taylor was asked about the progress of the songwriting and recording sessions for THE PRETTY RECKLESS's fifth album. She said: "I don't have [release] dates for you, but we booked — we've locked up the studio for eight months. It takes us a while to make a record. But it was going amazingly [before we paused the sessions in order to hit the road]. Hopefully when we pick back up in September, it'll be the same kind of flow and everything will just jell. But a lot of it's written. I'm sure that more will be written when these experiences happen and then new songs [arise] out of them. So I'm sure that there'll be some more songs coming. But I don't have dates. But it was going great, and we had just started; we really haven't started at all, but there's written stuff. So that's a start, I guess. But as far as recording, we hadn't really gotten into it yet."

This past January, THE PRETTY RECKLESS shared a photo of Taylor in the studio with Jonathan Wyman, who co-produced THE PRETTY RECKLESS's latest album, 2021's "Death By Rock And Roll", apparently confirming that Wyman has re-teamed with the group for the upcoming LP.

In a May 2023 interview with Ronni Hunter of the 99.7 The Blitz radio station, Momsen revealed that she and her THE PRETTY RECKLESS bandmates had commenced work on the follow-up to "Death By Rock And Roll".

"We're in a great headspace," she said. "We're just having fun with it, and wrapping up the tour cycle of 'Death By Rock And Roll'. And then new record — and it's next chapter. We've already kind of started it… We've gotten into a studio; we've stepped foot into a studio. So that's saying something for us."

THE PRETTY RECKLESS is supporting AC/DC on the legendary hard rock band's spring/summer 2024 European tour. Momsen and her bandmates also opened for THE ROLLING STONES on May 11 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In November 2022, THE PRETTY RECKLESS released a new collection of music, "Other Worlds", via Fearless Records. The effort saw the group delivering its first proper acoustic recordings, unexpected covers and other reimaginings.

"Death By Rock And Roll" was made available in February 2021 via Fearless Records in the U.S. and Century Media Records in the rest of the world.

Upon release, "Death By Rock And Roll" topped multiple sales charts — including Billboard's Top Albums, Rock, Hard Music, and Digital charts. The record also yielded three back-to-back No. 1 singles — "Death By Rock And Roll", "And So It Went" (featuring Tom Morello of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE) and "Only Love Can Save Me Now" (featuring Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron of SOUNDGARDEN). The band has tallied seven No. 1 singles at the rock format throughout its career.

"Death By Rock And Roll" was THE PRETTY RECKLESS's first album to be made without longtime producer Kato Khandwala, who died in April 2018 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

THE PRETTY RECKLESS formed in 2009 and consists of Momsen, Phillips, bassist Mark Damon and drummer Jamie Perkins.

In 2021, Momsen — who rose to fame portraying the character of edgy little sister Jenny Humphrey on The CW's "Gossip Girl" — described "Death By Rock And Roll" in an interview with ABC Audio as a "battle cry for life and for hope."

"I think that that's something that we can all use a little bit more of, especially right now," she said. "We could always use a little more hope, and we could always use a little more rock and roll."
