  • Snoop Redux – Chronic You Don’t Need

    Reports out of Cali are that Snoop has been busted…again.

    The charges? Weapons and narcotics…again.

    This time, Mr. Broadus allegedly had coke, pot and a gun.

    Burbank has been bad for the rapper. He was arrested there in October on weapon and narcotics charges. Filling out his trifecta was an arrest in the OC for attempting to bring a telescoping baton (yes, a weapon) on a plane at John Wayne Airport.

    The woman who influenced perhaps more influential female singers, among them Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin, has died at 78.

    Ruth Brown, who toured with everyone who was anyone in the 1950s, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Musicians known musicians, and if Brown’s legacy had faded over the decades (despite a mid 1970s comeback), the people playing the songs remembered.

    Brown had a heart attack and stroke near her Las Vegas home.
