Bob Dylan selling his entire music catalog...
I had no reason to question why Guns N' Roses covered music from other artists. I've always hear the original composer gets 50% of the royalties. I blogged about this before as music of the 50's often were covered many times by lots of no-name artists looking for exposure.
It was just a boost as we already know guns N' Roses. Last year, I heard on my local classic rock station they were asked by Dylan to record the song as he was broke and needed some royalty money.
Last week, it was reported Bob Dylan sold his song catalog to Universal Media Group to an undisclosed amount. People on the grapevine are saying it's around $300 million.

chatillion's list of iconic (and quirky) guitars...
No specific order, but I started playing guitar in the 1960's with memories of Chet Atkins playing a Gretch. He had several different models. Big, clunky usually orange with gold plated hardware. Some had a single cutaway and some double. Very iconic!
Expensive and only one guitarist in the neighborhood had one!

CD in the car...
Earlier this year I purchased a 2020 model car. A few days ago while going through CD's I decided to bring one along and play it while on the way to work.
Small problem... the car doesn't have a CD player!
It does have a USB port and will play MP3's. As a plus, it will play videos on the 7" display as long as the car is in park. When shifted out of park the video closes and only music can be heard.
The next step is using Windows Media Player and rip the music to the hard drive then download to a memory stick. Doing so captures the album, artist and song title on the list.
I've been able to put a bunch of CD's on to one stick which is more convenient that having CD cases in the car!
Modern solution to an old problem.

Whitney Houston finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
From Wikipedia;
From Billboard;
In response to:
Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer and actress. She was certified as the most awarded female artist of all time by Guinness World Records and is one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, with sales of over 200 million records worldwide. Houston released seven studio albums and two soundtrack albums, all of which have been certified diamond, multi-platinum, platinum, or gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). She is regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time. Her crossover appeal on the popular music charts as well as her prominence on MTV influenced several African-American female artists.
Houston began singing in church as a child and became a background vocalist while in high school. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, she signed to the label at age 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston (1985) and Whitney (1987), both peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and are among the best-selling albums of all time. She is the only artist to have seven consecutive number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, from "Saving All My Love for You" in 1985 to "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" in 1988.

One of the most lauded and beloved vocalists of all time, Whitney Houston was a once-in-a-generation vocal talent who left behind an imposing, enduring catalog despite passing away all too soon in 2012 at age 48 of an accidental drowning. With 11 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and 23 top 10s on that chart, Houston's songs and stylings impacted everything from pop to R&B to dance to gospel – not to mention the world of film, where her acting and music propelled The Bodyguard, Waiting to Exhale and The Preacher's Wife to enviable commercial heights few singer-actors have enjoyed.
In 2020, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognized the late icon's ongoing impact by inducting her into its ranks.

Cher sings a new song in honor of Joe Biden
It seem like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know President Joe's passing by
Right now our country's gloomy, fear is in the air
But when Joe's president, hope is everywhere
Troubles fly away and life will easy, flow
Joe will keep us safe, that's all we need to know
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
Sometimes there seems no end to misery and despair
But when Joe smiles at us, compassion fills the air
Troubles fly away and life is easy flow
Joe will keep us safe, that's all we need to know
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
President Joe, President Joe, President Joe
Exposing you......to another singer
Her music seems to be a blend between blues, soul and folk. I like her voice.

In response to:
Lovato had teased the song by posting a few clips of the upcoming music video to her Instagram page, featuring a young Black girl and an older white man mouthing the lyrics. The cover of the single also shows Lovato wearing a face mask that reads “VOTE.” The singer, who has been outspoken about her political beliefs in the past, announced that the song had been released with a post captioned “I’m calling on all of you, please join me in voting for this years election. Find your voter information at iwillvote.com.”

as a celebrity, I have a right to political views as well? Or did you forget that we aren’t just around to entertain people our entire lives..that we are citizens of the same country and we are humans with opinions as well? They difference between me and the type of artist you WANT and EXPECT me to be, (but I’m sorry honey that will never BE me)

Edith Piaf : Tribute 10/10
For some one who does not know much about all things French. Can’t speak or understand French. I am totally unqualified to to pay a Tribute to this great person, singer Edith Piaf. I have heard couple of her very famous songs. Her voice is so powerful and the lyrics that pierces your heart.
Edith Piaf sadly passed away on the 10th October 1963. She was born on 19 December 1912. There were couple of very sad events in her life which broke her. It would be good to have comments from a French person or a person who knows more about her than I do.
Currently Stella Artois is doing an Ad in UK and has lead me to this tribute.
