October 28, 2020 | Tim Virgin

Here’s a sign you’ve won the Halloween decorations game.

There’s an artist in Dallas named Steven Novak who put up SUCH realistic-looking Halloween decorations that people keep calling the cops.  We’re talking bloody bodies, blood spatter, and more . . . and it all looks almost TOO REAL.

Steven says people have called the cops several times already, and he’s been home for two of those police visits.  Fortunately for him, the cops have been okay with his decorations . . . so far.  (Dallas Observer)  (Here are a bunch of photos.)

A New Pill That Prevents Snoring Is on the Way

October 28, 2020 | Tim Virgin

Here’s some exciting news . . . for you, or the person who sleeps next to you.

A new pill to prevent SNORING is in the works.

It’s a combination of two non-sleep drugs.  One is a drug for ADHD, and the other is used to treat people with overactive bladders.

A small study found that when both drugs are combined, it reduces snoring by 74%.  And people with sleep apnea have higher blood oxygen levels when they take it.  So now a drug company in Massachusetts is doing a full trial to make sure it’s safe.

John Frusciante on being back with RHCP: “It’s returning to family.”

October 27, 2020 | Kevin

Speaking with Australia’s Double J, musical wizard John Frusciante shared insight on what it’s been like since he reunited with alternative icons Red Hot Chili Peppers earlier this year to record and tour. The multi-instrumental dynamo has played a critical role in his two different tenures with the group. He had a pivotal part with their multi-platnum albums ‘Californication’, ‘By The Way’, “Stadium Arcadium’, ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik’, and;’Mother’s Milk’.

“I’ve spent half my life in the band and half my life out of the band, and I suppose that’s what I needed to keep things fresh and to not feel like I was going to become one of those people I never wanted to become, who just sort of keeps repeating themselves and gets too comfortable with the rock star mentality and rock star lifestyle,. On one hand, you want to be appreciative of the people who put you on a pedestal. On the other hand, you’ve got to keep your ego in check — you don’t want to go around thinking you’re superior to other people or letting you make them think that. I find that a juggling act, and I find ego a tricky opponent.” said Frusciante.

“It’s returning to family. I’m extremely comfortable with them,” he said of his longstanding brotherhood with band members Anthony Kiedis, Flea, and Chad Smith. “It’s as if no time had gone by at all. Basically, we’re all just as comfortable with each other as we ever were.”

Since his last departure from RHCP in 2009, Frusciante continued to make his own adventurous music including his 11th solo album ‘Maya’ which was just released on October 23rd. Check out his latest single ‘Brand E’ and expect it to be quite different from the Chili Peppers.

 

Live Free 999 foundation

October 27, 2020 | <3 Lauren

Jarad Anthony Higgins, better known as Juice WRLD, had just turned 21 and was coming home for a birthday celebration at Midway Airport when he suffering a seizure as the result of oxycodone and codeine toxicity this past December.

His mother, Carmela Wallace, is speaking out for the first time since that day in the hopes that her son’s death will be a lesson to others.

“”It was devastating, but one thing I decided early on was, I was not going to hide the fact that he died from a drug overdose.  I didn’t want to keep that secret because a lot of people deal with that every day,” Wallace said.

The Homewood-Flossmoor graduate had recently been named Billboard Music Award’s “Top New Artist” and was among the most celebrated entertainers around.  But he struggled with anxiety and depression and was self-medicating.

“I talked to him about it. I told him my biggest fear was him overdosing on the stuff. That’s why I made the decision I have to talk about it with other people.”

Wallace said it’s now her mission to help other young people dealing with mental health issues and drug addiction.

“That’s our objective with our foundation. Normalize the conversation, so it has to start with me,” she said. “I hope it’s what he wanted, was a legacy of healing. To let people know that you don’t have to suffer alone,” Wallace added.

Wallace said many of her son’s fans have reached out to her after his death with their own stories and said that’s why so many young people are now involved with the foundation.

She said they are the ones who can relate best to those they hope to reach.
