Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on February 17, 2023 5 Comments

Not long ago I heard something I didn’t think was possible — a song by Daryl Hall and John Oates I didn’t know.

Wait, what..? It was Jared & Trump. Oh never mind.

Former US president Donald Trump and his former senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner are still receiving financial benefits after fostering a close relationship with Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) during their time in office, the Washington Post reported this week.

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on February 14, 2023 2 Comments

The Troggs didn’t quite fit into the second wave of the British Invasion. Their version of Chip Taylor’s “Wild Thing” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966, but the band never invaded — they didn’t tour the US until 1968. “Wild Thing” was made even more famous in 1967, when Jimi Hendrix […]
