Avril Lavign Lets Loose Profanities At Rays Game

Punk rock singer, Avril Lavign was criticized by the Blue Rays ball club after using profanity during her performance at the baseball field. According to an article on Yahoo! News, Avril was aiming her crude remarks at the fans who booed the technical difficulties during the first song.

When playing at a family friendly atmosphere it is expected that someone should be mindful of their language. I can see a obvious argument against this one though. Baseball games are known for crude remarks and loud fans. Although the Rays would like a family friendly stadium, I am not sure that is a reality they are going to have regardless of who performs.

Billboard 200 Bands

It is no surprise that a band like the Foo Fighters made the billboard top 200 list. To find out that a few fake bands like the Warblers from the Fox series Glee and Disney's Lemonade Mouth was somewhat shocking. With TV series like Glee, American Idol and Disney made bands our society seems to be taking on a new trend in music. So what does that mean for the traditional garage band? Hopefully nothing. But in reality, how can a good band compete with a great producer and big budget promotions?

Michael Jackson's Family Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit

The Jackson family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that AEG is to blame for the death of Michael Jackson. According to a report on California Injury Blog, the lawsuit alleges that the Jackson family believes AIG put profits over Michael Jackson's safety and health. When interviewed by TMZ, Katherine Jackson said that there is no judicial resolution that could be reached with Dr. Conrad Murray or AEG that will bring her peace.

The complaint filed by the Jackson family personal injury lawyer accuses AIG of failing to provide lifesaving equipment, which was apparently part of an agreement AIG did not honor.

AIG called the lawsuit "unsubstantiated and meritless." AIG said that they did not choose or hire Jackson physician, Dr. Murray who allegedly provided Jackson with drugs that may have caused his death.
