However as the global pandemic started to grow, MCR, like other acts, had to postpone it. And while fans all over the world are sad over that fact, Mikey Way has some reassuring words about their comeback. “I know fans have been waiting a long time, but it’ll all still be here when this is all over,” he told BBC’s Radio 1 Newsbeat. Way also added, “Live music isn’t going anywhere, it’s just on pause for everybody.” The My Chemical Romance guitarist wasn’t really happy at first that they, along with everyone else, would need to halt their 2020 plans and he admitted that he’s “trying to take myself out of a selfish place.” But Way also sees something positiv...

Ariana Grande’s 10 Realest Lyrics on Her ‘Dangerous Woman’ Album
Happy anniversary to Ariana Grande‘s Dangerous Woman album, which was released on this day (May 20) in 2016! While Grande certainly sounded in command of her life on previous LPs, the pop star brought a whole new level of realness to her third album. As the stylistically eclectic affair veered between R&B, pop, reggae and dance, Grande gave us some of the most honest and memorable lyrics of her career to date. Some of them (like the lines on “Moonlight”) put you right there in the moment with Ariana and her boo. Others, like the lyrics on “Knew Better/Forever Boy,” show her getting very real about her love life — good, bad, and everything messy in between. In honor of the album’s fourth birthday, we’re looking back at ...
Randy Rainbow Rebukes Trump’s ‘Obamagate’ Conspiracy With ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ Parody: Watch
As COVID-19 continues to ravage the United States, President Donald Trump has made headlines for something completely different — claiming that former President Barack Obama attempted to sabotage the Trump administration (or as he called it on Twitter, “Obamagate“). But internet comedian Randy Rainbow says he can see right through the president’s favorite new conspiracy theory, and decided to point out exactly what he thinks the president is doing. On Tuesday (May 19), Rainbow uploaded a brand new parody song titled “Distraction,” set to the tune of “Tradition” from Fiddler on the Roof, where he calls out Trump’s attempts to change the narrative. “So how does an unprepared reality TV host pretending to be the president deal with su...
Gorillaz’s 2-D and Damon Albarn Perform ‘Aries’ on Kimmel Live
Gorillaz are no strangers to blending their part-human-part-animation music group on the live stage. However, Damon Albarn and 2-D’s recent performance of “Aries” on Jimmy Kimmel Live was an interesting sight to see. Adhering to the same social distancing rules that all collaborative performers have been doing, it’s the first time they’ve dueted in this capacity. While Albarn took lead on the vocals, we do catch a clip of 2-D front and center singing one of the verses. And around the two-minute mark, a guy in a towel with some kind of big mask on starts doing stretches behind 2-D and even acknowledges the camera at the end of his little exercise. Albarn recently did a special performance of his solo project for Boiler Room while the Gorillaz have been dropping new songs from their Song Mac...

In Colorado, a man is now facing an attempted murder charge after shooting a Waffle House employee because he refused to wear a mask in the restaurant. Local outlet KDVR reports that Kelvin Watson, 27, was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder on Monday by the Aurora Police Department. Last week, Watson entered Waffle House during a late-night visit and was told by a waitress that he needed to wear a mask or he wouldn’t be able to order. The restaurant, like many in the United States, was offering carryout orders only. According to the report, Watson left the ...
