It’s well known that Tommy Lee has tried just about every drug known to man.
So here’s a little list from the man himself about what he liked, and didn’t.
What do you expect from a rockstar!
Stream the new Killers album ‘Imploding the Mirage’
It’s been a couple of busy years for the Killers. The alternative icons from Las Vegas with guitarist Dave Keuning taking a hiatus from the group, the massive touring behind 2017’s ‘Wonderful Wonderful’, and trying to release another world-dominating album as the pandemic got going. This brilliant new album was originally due to come out in late May but got delayed so Brandon Flower and Ronnie Venucci could get it just right. It looks like that extra time really helped.
The album has some fun cameos from former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and pop singer K.D. Lang adding flavor to a collection of grandiose songs that drip vibes that remind you of ’80s alternative from the Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, and something you would hear on the soundtrack for a John Hughes movie. Flowers and company paint a very pretty and hopeful picture on this album for life beyond all the stress we are dealing with currently. It’s the music we need now, maybe more than we may have realized.
‘Mirage’ was released this past Friday and already getting solid reviews.The tracks that stand out: ‘My Own Soul’s Warning’, ‘Dying Breed’ ‘Fire in Bone’, and ‘Caution’ You can stream it here in the YouTube playlist above or get it on Spotify here. You can get the vinyl and digital pack here.
Check out 101WKQX’s Jon Manley chatting with Brandon Flowers about ‘Mirage’ earlier this year.

This lady was so proud of her joke
This might be the best joke I’ve heard in awhile.

There’s a new baby whale at the Shedd Aquarium!
Congrats to the happy mom Bella over at the Shedd Aquarium!
She gave birth to a healthy 5-foot- 3, 139 pound baby boy.
The calf hasn’t been named yet. What do you think the baby boy’s name should be?
Portugal. The Man cover “Annie” hit for kids’ charity album.
No matter how dark it is, Portugal.The Man knows the that “the sun will come out tomorrow.” Perfect timing for this cover, don’t you think?
The band did their own rendition of “Tomorrow” from the musical Annie as part of a charity album benefiting Save The Children. At Home With The Kids is set to come out on Friday [August 28th].

KFC abandons “Finger Lickin’ Good” catchphrase because of COVID-19
KFC has used the same catchphrase for 64 years.
But for the first time, things are not ‘Finger Lickin’ Good’.
It’s not goodbye forever, just for now.
What should the next catchphrase be?
WTF!?! Wedding guest reportedly shoots groom in the chest
What could have possibly caused someone to shoot a groom at his own wedding!?!
The groom at a Texas wedding was shot at his own after party. He was promptly airlifted to the nearest trauma hospital.
The weirdest part is the Bride refuses to cooperate with the police on the shooting.
WTF is going on there!!!!

Debate concludes with keeping marijuana dispensary out of the Gold Coast
If you live in the Gold Coast and you were excited to be getting a brand new weed dispensary…. Well we have some bad news.
Residents were able to win a debate that will ultimately stop marijuana dispensaries from setting up shop in the Gold Coast.
Well, at least there are still plenty of neighborhoods that can cash in on that green!
Lori Loughlin sentenced to 2 month in prison
Lori Loughlin was sentenced to serve 2 months in prison after her involvement in a college admissions scandal.
Her sentence will also include a $150,000 fine, 100 hours of community service and two years probation.
Her husband will serve as well. He was sentenced to 5 months in prison.
In a way this feels like nothing for a pretty unfair crime. She essentially bought her kid into a school and took that spot away from a kid who actually deserved it!
But you know what 2 months is at least something!
Don’t you wish they would have really thrown the book at her on this one though?
German researchers stage a concert to see how COVID-19 will spread
Maybe they’ll find some good news in this. Probably not, but here’s to hoping!
That being said, the way the researchers tracked the spread during the concert is super cool.
Hopefully they will be able to learn from this and help prevent the spread at large events in the future.

The statue was commissioned by the late musician’s family shortly after his passing in 2017.
The family was devastated by the vandalization but felt thankful to the dedicated fans who arrived and attempted to clean the statue.
What is wrong with people!

Dark song and the Dark Knight: Nirvana in new ‘Batman’ trailer
It shows the gritty tone that reminds us he’s not Superman. and reminds us of the Dark Knight trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. Kickass action, an unhinged city gripped by a showdown by the shadowy hero and the menacing unseen nemesis. Yes to this, yes to all of this. Watch the must-see trailer for ‘the Batman’ starring Robert Pattinson and directed by Matt Reeves here. The film is due out next year. Throw in a respectful symphonic remix on Nirvana’s morose gem ‘Something in the Way’.
The song originally appeared on ‘Nevermind’ but the most memorable version of the track is the minimalistic version done for the classic ‘MTV Unplugged’ live album. There has been speculation that the song’s lyrics were inspired by a period in Kurt Cobain’s life where he was homeless and lived under a bridge on the Wishkah River in Washington but this has been disputed by several people who knew him. The bridge name-dropped in the song has been visited often by Nirvana fans over the years
This tweet some up our collective emotions.
