Man, I had just graduated high school that summer.. I remember when that album hit. It was like getting hit with a bolt of lightning, fantastic album! Big albums came out that summer, EVH 1984, ZZ Eliminator, YES 90125. It was a great time for the music scene!

An iconic legend he is!…instrumental in defining an incredible generation of music! Listening to Billy was part of the “soundtrack” of my life in the early 80’s! I was 17 when he hit MTV with White Wedding. What an amazing time to be alive! Rock on Billy! And THANK YOU!

Billy is one of the lucky ones which I will never understand. I was there at the height of punk and Gen X came on a little later but he somehow broke through. Sad that 100s of other punk bands never made it. I will never get why certain acts made it but others like The Ramones, DKs and PIL never broke through to the mainstream. Probably because their songs were too radical in subject matter.

Angelina Jolie filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband, actor Brad #Pitt, accusing him of domestic violence. According to the documents, we are talking about an incident in September 2016, when the star couple and their children flew from France to Los Angeles on a private jet. According to the actress, during the conflict that began, Pitt hit one of the children in the face, grabbed another by the throat, and dragged the actress into the toilet room, grabbed her head and began to shake her. She also stated that Pitt doused her and the children with #alcohol. Donald Trump sent words of support to Angelina Jolie. In New York, a judge deals with dirty gossip. Real rapists win Oscars.
