I Love My Readers

This is a shout-out to all the people that having been coming to the site. I hit new record highs this week after 400+ people stopped by (in one day) to spend a little time taking in the content. Much love and respect to you people. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your support. That’s all for this week. See you back on Monday as I do my best to take some of the burden off of life’s heavy load. Namaste party people. Be safe and have a great weekend.

50 Cent vs Taco Bell

50 Cent is constantly in the news and his latest altercation is once again drawing a lot of attention. The rapper is suing Taco Bell. Yes, you read that right, 50 Cent is suing Taco Bell. Insert your own jokes here.

 

Apparently a recent Taco Bell ad “encouraged” 50 to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent, or 99 Cent for Taco Bell’s new promotional campaign. Now it is 50 who is crying, “Where is the beef,” suing the fast food chain for a cool $4 million.

 

According to Taco Bell, they sent a letter to the star offering a $10,000 donation to charity in his name for use of his rights, but 50’s lawyer denies any knowledge of such a letter.

 

Personally, I think 50 should just drop his beef and get with the taco giant and create a new taco series with his name on it. He could have his own line..think about it….you could get the 50 Cent Four-Alarm Fire, the 50 Cent Flamer, or 50’s Bulletproof Taco.

Metallica + Guitar Hero = Metal Madness

The line between video games and rock and roll music continues to blur as Metallica gets ready to unleash their latest album via Guitar Hero and yes, you can get the new album and jam along with the band at the same time.

 

This is pretty god-damn hot. I can only imagine what this is going to do for Metallica’s sales when the album hits stores on September 22, 2008. This move literally gives the group a whole host of new fans that have probably never even heard the band before.

 

I vividly remember the first time I heard “One.” So sick. A new generation of fans will get to experience the same feeling with this new album.

 

The new tracks are:

That Was Just Your Life

The End of The Line

Broken, Beat, & Scarred

The Day That Never Comes

All Nightmare Long

Cyanide

The Unforgiven Ill

The Judas Kiss

Suicide & Redemption

My Apocalypse 

Glastonbury Tickets To Go On Sale In October

The Glastonbury Festival is once again getting a good jump on the 2009 summer concert festival landscape by offering first-com, first-serve ticket sales beginning in the first week of October 2008. Possibly one of the most anticipated music gatherings of the year, there is always a battle to get tickets to this monster party.

 

Despite having found huge success with this year’s big acts, including controversial act Jay-Z, Glastonbury co-founder Michael Eavis has stated he will not try to book another “controversial” act for next year’s headlining spot. In a recent statement to BBC News, Eavis said that he would book more traditional acts in order to ease the stress of the event. Apparently ticket sales were sluggish in the beginning and it weighed heavily on the people behind the scenes.
