All too often, sadly. it's like what do you do when you hit your peak at 7 years old and have Hollywood residual money coming in. Oooh, ooh, oh, I know! Drugs cause you're bored.

Jeff Beck really was an incredible guitarist. He wasn't the most accessible, but was truly amazing in his ability to wring a jaw-dropping array of sounds from a guitar. Of all the famous guitarists of his era, I think he ended up being the best.

That’s fair. Or his 80s schtick based on the 50s is over. Either one.

I dig rockabilly but don’t need the accompanying period-specific style.

Dude had his own shop and restored cars by and large on his own. More than just a great guitarist

Heisman Trophy winner and former USC RB Charles White. He was 64. Cause of death was cancer. One helluva college running back. The guy was a lot of fun to watch. RIP.

Will she be buried at Graceland or somewhere in the ghetto?

by **Motown Spartan** 2023-01-12, 21:15

In 1993 she inherited $100 million from the Estate of Elvis Presley and died owing more than $16 million in excess of her assets. That’s some Elon Musk level of lost wealth.

If the estate has debts to settle, they can advertise One broken heart for sale.

Lisa Marie marrying Michael Jackson might be the most stunning celebrity news outside of the OJ murders. It's an all-time jaw-dropper.

So looking at the news today, I completely forgot she was married to Michael Jackson, and Nicolas Cage, at different times in her life. That’s a weird combination.
