I dunno. Hard to imagine he'd cede this much airtime to Jenny McCarthy and the lesser Wahlberg for making out if so

Most of them have successful solo careers doing other things. At this point I think they just like hanging out and touring, which say what you want about their music but isn't the worst life to live.

No, they just kept the name, like for Madden. John Madden is also dead, by the way, don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

I don't fault them for making money, but it's just weird seeing 50 year Olds pretending they're still 20 in 1988 dancing around singing pop music

Tom Cruise is 5'7". Thanks, Siri!

Also it's 10:37pm EST & my aunt finally pulled the "why must everything be politicized?" While we watch the NYE show in NBC. She also asked "is that a man or woman?" When Leslie Jones was on TV.

The music industry changed the royalty structure so now bands don't get as much money from radio plays. That means music groups go on the road more, because concert money and merch money goes to the band instead of the record company.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

My wife and I are over going to parties on NYE (also she can’t drink) and most of our friends have kids so they aren’t throwing parties anyway. So we’re staying in and I’m listening to records while she makes pastries for tomorrow. It’s weird to say, but it’s kinda great.

5 years ago I would be going nuts if I stayed in on NYE.

Not going out for NYE. Instead I made a nice chicken parm and we watched Zardoz. Wife is in bed already because she has to get up early and doesn't care about watching the ball drop. I'm going to try and get some exercise because I've been eating a ton of garbage the whole last week and will have a drink at midnight.

We get all partied out after traveling for Christmas and having parties for each of our families. It's nice just to treat yourself to a night in after all of that. :hfive:

The people I know with kids are usually the ones who throw absolute loving ragers on NYE because it's the one night where its socially acceptable to do so, and they're all dead inside because they have children.

We stayed home and I've been blowing poo poo up all night. Dude down the road said gently caress fireworks and has just been shooting an AK for like two hours.

Radio has never paid to license music. They don’t pay a single cent for recordings they broadcast and it’s always been that way. It’s totally hosed up and artists have been fighting it forever.

Labels paid stations to play music, it's called payola, and it was made illegal.

in other news, this is a clever solution to forgetting the coin

I don’t think artists have ever had a problem with them playing the music for free, because the exposure more than makes up for it (at least, it did when people actually bought music). I think what they have a problem with is how they decide what to play, and how often they play it.

New Years Eve story time: December 31st, 2014. I was driving the big truck through Mississippi listening to #10 Georgia Tech beat #8 Mississippi State in the Orange Bowl where GT scored 3 unanswered TDs in the third quarter by running the dang ball. Now the designated route from Jackson MS to Mobile AL is US 49 from Jackson to Hattiesburg and then US 98 from Hattiesburg to Mobile, but the last 20 miles of US 98 is rear end with a skinny 2 lane stretch and a bunch of stoplights. It being New Years Eve I didn't want to deal with a small road and possible drunk drivers so I took an alternate route, which taking US 49 south out of Hattiesburg MS, then taking MS 67 to Biloxi MS. This route has fewer stoplights and is wide open with 4 lanes and has less traffic, but it adds 30 miles and 30 minutes to the trip. The route also has a whole bunch of billboards for the Biloxi casinos, advertising their musical acts. Who wants to see a double bill of Judas Priest and Air Supply? Well roll on down to Biloxi because I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without SOME HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL.

Right as I'm approaching Biloxi the clock hits midnight and the casinos start shooting off fireworks. I just listened to my team win a major bowl and now I'm getting 4 fireworks shows at once, and I'm getting paid! That was a memorable night.
