Vivian Cash, the first wife of legendary musician Johnny Cash, may not be a household name like her famous ex-husband. Still, she played an essential role in his life and career. Vivian was more than just a supportive spouse; she was also a loving mother to their four daughters and an accomplished artist in her own right. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the captivating love story of Vivian and Johnny Cash – from their early days to the ups and downs of their marriage – as well as explore what happened to Vivian after they parted ways. Get ready for some heartwarming moments and surprising revelations!
Vivian Cash’s early life
Vivian Dorraine Liberto was born on April 23, 1934, in San Antonio, Texas. She grew up in a traditional Italian Catholic family and had one sister. Her father worked as an Air Force officer and was often away from home.
Vivian attended St. Teresa’s Academy in Memphis before moving to California with her family. There she enrolled at Los Angeles City College to study art history.
Despite her sheltered upbringing, Vivian was independent-minded and free-spirited. In 1951, she met a young airman named Johnny Cash while he was stationed at a nearby base during his military service.
The two fell head over heels for each other despite their different backgrounds – Johnny came from Arkansas and grew up working in the cotton fields – but their relationship faced many obstacles due to distance and disapproving parents.
Nonetheless, they continued exchanging love letters until Johnny returned from Germany in 1954 when they finally reunited after two long years apart.
How Vivian Cash met Johnny Cash
Vivian Cash met Johnny Cash in the summer of 1951, at a roller skating rink in San Antonio, Texas. At that time, Vivian was just 17 years old and was attending high school while working part-time as a hairdresser.
Johnny had recently been discharged from the Air Force and was stationed nearby. He happened to visit the same roller rink where he spotted Vivian for the first time. As fate would have it, they were both wearing almost identical blue outfits that evening.
Johnny couldn’t help but be drawn to her striking beauty and asked her to skate with him. Although she initially declined his offer due to shyness, eventually she gave in.
They spent the rest of the night talking and bonding over their shared love for music. Johnny knew he had found something special in Vivian that night.
Their first date followed soon after when Johnny took Vivian on a picnic by an idyllic riverbank setting near San Antonio. It wasn’t long before they fell deeply in love with each other and decided to get married just two weeks later in July 1954 at St Ann’s Catholic Church located near San Antonio Air Base.
Vivian and Johnny Cash’s marriage
Vivian and Johnny Cash’s marriage was filled with both love and turmoil. The couple met in San Antonio, Texas, while Johnny was serving in the Air Force. Vivian caught his eye while she was working as a receptionist at an air base. They fell in love quickly and were married just three weeks after they met.
Their early years together were challenging as Johnny struggled to make it big in the music industry. However, Vivian remained supportive of her husband throughout their rocky start. Even when they had little money, she would travel with him on tour and help sell records from the back of their car.
Despite their deep connection, Vivian and Johnny’s marriage began to unravel due to his struggles with addiction and infidelity. In her memoir “I Walked the Line,” Vivian wrote about feeling neglected by her husband as he became more famous.
Though they tried to work through their issues for many years, eventually leading separate lives became inevitable for them both. Their divorce devastated Vivian but left no choice because of all that had happened between them.
While there is no doubt that Vivian played an essential role in supporting Johnny throughout his career beginnings – this doesn’t discount or diminish what went wrong within their relationship over time
The birth of Rosanne Cash
Vivian and Johnny Cash welcomed their first child, Rosanne Cash, on May 24th, 1955. Her birth brought great joy and excitement to the family.
As a young girl, Rosanne was surrounded by music – her father was already beginning his successful career in country music. It’s no surprise that she too would eventually become a musician herself.
Growing up with famous parents wasn’t always easy for Rosanne, though. She struggled with the attention and scrutiny they received from fans and the media alike.
Despite this, she went on to have a successful career of her own as a singer-songwriter. With hits like “Seven Year Ache” and “I Don’t Know Why You Don’t Want Me,” Rosanne has made her mark in country music history.
Today, she continues to perform and create music while also advocating for various social causes. It’s clear that the musical talent runs deep in the Cash family – thanks in part to Vivian’s influence on her daughter’s life.
Vivian and Johnny Cash’s divorce
Unfortunately, the marriage between Vivian and Johnny Cash was not meant to last forever. As their careers grew and they faced many personal struggles, their relationship became strained. Johnny’s addiction to drugs and alcohol put a tremendous amount of stress on his family life.
Vivian also struggled with her husband’s constant touring, which kept him away from home for long periods of time. She had three young daughters to take care of on her own while dealing with the pressures of being married to a famous musician.
The couple tried counseling but ultimately decided to end their marriage in 1966. The divorce was painful for both parties involved, especially for Vivian who felt betrayed by Johnny’s infidelity.
Despite the difficulties that arose during this chapter in her life, Vivian remained strong and resilient as she navigated through a difficult divorce while raising her children alone. Her determination is commendable as she continued to prioritize her family over everything else even during tough times.
It is important to remember that behind every public figure lies a complex web of emotions and experiences that shape them into who they are today.
Vivian Cash’s later life
As Vivian Cash’s life continued, she remained mostly out of the public eye but still cherished by those who knew her. She passed away on May 24, 2005, in Ventura, California at the age of 71.
Vivian was remembered as a kind-hearted person who always put her family first. Although many remember her primarily for being Johnny Cash’s first wife, it is important to honor and respect Vivian Cash for the person that she was – a strong and loving woman who lived a full life beyond her time with Johnny.
Through their love story, we see how two people can fall in love deeply while facing challenges along the way. Despite their divorce and other obstacles they faced together throughout their lives, one thing remains true – Johnny and Vivian Cash shared an unbreakable bond that lasted until death did them part.

In the film industry, things don’t always go as planned. An actor or actress may have the perfect look for a role but due to other circumstances such as language barriers, heavy accents or sometimes even death, someone else needs to step in and lend their voice, quite literally too. Here are a couple of actors who, to their disappointment, didn’t get to use their own voice.
1. Debbie Reynolds
In 1952, 19-year-old Debbie Reynolds made her on-screen debut in the musical “Singin’ in the Rain” in which she played Kathy Selden, an actress who dubbed the dialogue and singing of the lead actress. But in a twist of irony, Reynolds had to be dubbed not once but twice for both her singing and dialogue due to her thin and youthful voice. The studio wanted a deeper, richer vocal delivery, so they had singer Betty Noyes sing the number “Would You?” This, however, did not stop the film from becoming one of the greatest of its time.
2. Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson’ career has had its highs and lows, but there’s no doubt that he’s a talented actor and filmmaker. His breakout role came when he starred as Max Rockatansky in Mad Max, which really jump started career. However, the heavy use of Aussie slang proved to be too confusing to American audiences and as a result, the entire film had to be redubbed with American voice actors. Ironic, considering the fact that Gibson is an American citizen who moved to Australia at the age of 12. So he was more than familiar with the American accent.
3. Andie MacDowell
Andie MacDowell started off as a covergirl for Vogue magazine and a model for Calvin Klein in 1984. That same year, she made her acting debut in the film Greystroke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes as Jane Porter, Tarzan’s love interest. Director Hugh Hudson didn’t care much for MacDowell’s native Southern accent, so he turned to Glenn Close to dub her lines. A bit of an ego blow, but MacDowell didn’t let this slow her down. She went on to star in many successful movies including Groundhog Day and Four Weddings and a Funeral.
4. Gert Fröbe
The third installment of the James Bond franchise, Goldfinger, featured the iconic villain Auric Goldfinger who was played by German film and stage actor Gert Fröbe, who won producers over… sort of. You see, Fröbe wasn’t a fluent English speaker so British actor Michael Collins had to take over the voice work. So the villain’s memorable line “No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!” is actually Collins’ doing. This decision was absolutely worth it, considering that Goldfinger is regarded as one of the greatest Bond films ever made.
5. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career had a bit of a bumpy start. He initially went by the stage name “Arnold Strong” worrying that people would have a hard time pronouncing his surname. In 1970, he was cast as the titular character in the film “Hercules in New York” most likely due to his impressive physique. But due to his thick Austrian accent, Schwarzenegger’s lines had to be dubbed, and it wasn’t even done by an acclaimed actor. Instead it was done by a random, uncredited voice. The results were rather comical, but this only served as a stepping stone in his acting career.

The insider added, “The two fall in love abroad but once they come back to Karachi and Fawad approaches Anushka’s family to ask for her hand, he is ridiculed for belonging to a lower class, an entertainer by profession, and sent away. A dejected Anushka leaves her home too.”

Actor and singer Patrick Bruel was one of France's biggest stars during the '90s, first making his name as a teen idol and leading a return to traditional French chanson in the new millennium.
Bruel was born Patrick Benguigui in Tlemcen, Algeria, on May 14, 1959.
The double studio album Entre Deux ("Between Two" -- i.e., between the two World Wars) featured 23 selections from the golden age of French cabaret pop, and found him working with a wide array of guest stars, including Johnny Hallyday and the legendary Charles Aznavour.
In any case, his audience followed the move, helping to keep traditional French pop alive and vital for new generations.In 2006, the album Des Souvenirs Devant went to number one in both the French and Belgium pop charts, as did his 2012 effort Lequel De Nous after a six year musical hiatus.His first success came as an actor, in 1979's Le Coup de sirocco.He continued acting in films, on television, and in the theater while pursuing his singing career.It failed to attract much attention, but his next effort, "Marre Cette Nana-là" ("Enough of That Chick"), was a substantial hit in 1984.
A follow-up, "Comment Ça Va Pour Vous" ("How's It Going for You"), also found success in 1985.Supported by heavy touring over 2000, the album was a hit, selling over a million copies; it was followed by the double live set Rien Ne S'efface.Bruel had previously covered classic French chansons, usually in concert, but in 2002, he jumped into the style with both feet.With a string of number one albums and dozens of films and television shows to his credit, singer/actor Patrick Bruel has been one of France's most visible stars since his emergence in the 1980s.This Greatest Hits package from Sony offers up 16 of his best-known songs, along with a handful of live recordings.On 21 September 2004, he wed the 24-year-old Sthers; it is his first marriage.


Beyonce’s success on her new self-titled visual album. 0 singles, 0 marketing, 0 leaks.
Beyonce’s new self-titled visual album has in one quick swoop, outsold both Gaga and Katy Perry’s recent albums, turned conventional marketing on it’s head, but more importantly; brought back a personal experience or event to the pop music world. In a genre dominated by singles, multi-million dollar marketing schemes and cookie cutter formulas for success; Beyonce has shown that artistry still exists, and can gain commercial success. The question that arises is: will this change the pop music industry? The answer is: maybe, but it will at least influence it for the time being. Here are some highlights of how Beyonce’s concept of a ‘Visual Album’ could be potentially game changing.
- She ditched the entire idea of releasing a single.
On average, a single is release somewhere around a month to 6 weeks before the album’s release. Generally the idea is to get a song in your head that will make you want to buy the album. Beyonce chose to release the album in it’s entirety and used her top grossing songs to be released as singles.
- She created the ‘visual album’. Beyonce didn’t create a visual album, she created the first visual album, releasing all songs with a coinciding video. Each video shot with different producers, in different locations, under different directors and with different stories relating to each song. Not only did the songs add to the writing and theme of each song, the videos are quoted by Beyonce to contribute to an overall theme of the album.
- She made an album release become an event. In a string of videos released on YouTube entitled “Self-Titled” Beyonce re-called watching on TV the release of “Thriller” by Michael Jackson quoting “It was an event, we all sat around the TV and watched. Now I miss that immersive experience, now everyone just listens to 30 seconds of a song on their iPod”. Using videos, social media, and word of mouth Beyonce turned an album release back into an immersive experience.
- She successfully marketed an album using $0. Beyonce brought this idea to her label. They were of course against it and did not support it. So Beyonce used her own money for the making of this album experience. Using only the power of social media and word of mouth, Beyonce’s album got around enough to sell over 800,000 copies in 3 days. That is no small feat even considering her 8 million Instagram and 53 million Facebook followers. Be warned you will need to do more marketing for your albums until you are Beyonce.
- There were 0 leaks. I am not sure what kind of agreement these people signed, or how much they were paid off. But keeping a full album, writers, video production team, dancers, extras, set workers etc etc to not disclose any information or leak a single item before release date is almost unheard of. Not only that, but once the album was released, there were 0 streams on Youtube *someone must have been monitoring the crap out of that site for 24 hours a day. If you really wanted to hear the album (and you did, because it seemed to be the only thing everyone was talking about) you had to pay the $15.99 on itunes, WELL worth the value for 14 songs and 17 videos!! (quick math here… say on average each video was 150,000 to make – some likely more, some maybe less – x17 = 2,550,000 on the videos alone. Assuming they did not take any short cuts with cost here, this project could have been about 5 million of self funding to produce)
- She did if for her fans. What reason would Beyonce release a full album, along with videos, with next to no marketing involved? Because she wanted it to come straight from her to her fans when it was ready. The album making process of Beyonce was all done for the sake of enjoyment, both from the fans perspective, and Beyonce’s. Quoted in one of her songs “Probably wont make any money off of this, oh well.”
Will this radical new way of marketing, selling and presenting an album will become the industry standard? Only time will tell. However, Beyonce has brought something magical back to the pop music industry; a connection with fans and artist. A spectacle to be part of, listening to full albums and ditching the singles. Whether this album is a game changer or not it has accomplished much in the way of giving pop music new life, and oh yeah and nearly a month after it’s release, it’s also sold 1.5 million units.

Speculation is mounting about who will replace Ryan Tubridy as host
Irish actor and entertainer Rory Cowan, known for his role as Rory Brown in Mrs Brown’s Boys from 2011 to 2017, has weighed in on the debate about who should take over as the next host of the Late Late Show,
Taking to social media the 63-year-old actor suggested that “Irish and Northern Irish” comedian and television personality Patrick Kielty would be the “ideal” candidate to take over as host.
Cowan’s addition to the discourse surrounding who will replace long-standing Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy comes just hours before the St Patrick’s Day special kicks off, the first instalment of the chat show
since he announced that he was stepping down from his duties.

In a post on Twitter, Cowan wrote: “It seems everyone in Ireland is talking about who will replace Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late Show.
He added: “I think Patrick Kielty would be ideal. He’s well capable of doing the serious and light interviews. I think he’d be a terrific host of the show.”
Social media users flocked to the comments to agree with Cowan’s choice, with one Twitter user posting: “Good call Rory!”
While another agreed, posting: “Yes! Great idea!”
However, some Twitter users disagreed with Cowan’s suggestion, posting that Cowan himself should fill Tubridy’s shoes. One posted: “Yeah – what about yerself Rory?”
To which Cowan replied: “No definitely not. I’d be the worst interviewer. I’m just not that interested in people.”
Another added: “You’d be much better Rory, not keen on Patrick he can be quite vulgar.
Defending his choice, Cowan replied: “Nothing wrong with a bit of honest-to-goodness vulgarity.”
One more posted: “I think you would be a good replacement Rory.” Once more though Cowan shot the, down by replying: “Ah here. Not a fart’s chance in a windstorm.”


USC Marshall to Host 2024 Tenure Project
The 3rd annual conference focuses on important issues affecting Black, Latinx, and Native junior faculty obtaining tenure in U.S. business schools.
Rapper and Singer Saweetie Visits USC Marshall, Receives Distinguished Speaker Award
Diamonté Harper, better known by her stage name “Saweetie,” visited USC Marshall as a guest lecturer for ALBERT NAPOLI’s BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURSHIP (BAEP 452) class, where she shared advice, lessons in business, and insights into her future career plans. The rapper, who was greeted with a room full of students eager to hear about her journey, is a proud alumna of the university and frequently returns to campus to share her story.
Ever since growing up in the Bay Area, Saweetie knew she wanted to become a Trojan.
“I told myself if I didn’t get into my dream school, I would not look at other options. I got into USC and that was my sign,” Saweetie said.
She spoke candidly about her time at USC, where in the fall of 2014 she took Professor Napoli’s class, “Business for Non-Majors." She discussed with him her desires and aspirations to be an entrepreneur and artist. Napoli became a major influential figure and supporter of her endeavors.
Saweetie recalled a time during her senior year when she attended a career fair to meet potential corporate employers. Napoli pulled her aside and said, “What are you doing here? This is not you, you’re not going to be happy.”
Looking back, Saweetie knows this was a pivotal moment in her career, when she realized she had to go all in on her goal of becoming an artist and musician.
“I saw right away that she was talented,” he recalled her rapping an original song that blew everyone away during class.
I told myself if I didn’t get into my dream school, I would not look at other options. I got into USC and that was my sign.
"She was working in the industry as a background singer, she had no problem hustling to meet people, and she had her family’s support to go out and do this,” said Napoli.
As a student, she balanced several jobs including as a waitress, student worker, and even selling t-shirts that read “Money Makin’ Mamis.” After graduating from USC in 2018, she released her hit song “Icy Girl” which became a viral hit, garnering over 134 million views to date. The song even includes a line dedicated to her time at the school: “See, I went to USC. And got my college degree.”
She has since released music with many artists including YG, Tyga, and Doja Cat, and become a top-streamed artist on multiple music platforms. But her artist collaborations go all the way back to her time in school.
She told Napoli’s students about a project he assigned class, in which they each had to interview an entrepreneur they looked up to. Saweetie interviewed American rapper, singer, and songwriter, Kendrick Lamar. Known as "King Kendrick,” he is widely regarded as one of the most influential rappers of his generation.
Other students may have been too intimidated to reach out to Lamar, but Saweetie was never one to back down from a challenge. She reached out and met with Lamar to discuss his career. She even took a selfie with the rapper.
Sporting her signature “Icy” chain, she shared her phone wallpaper with the class: an image stating her goal to be a billionaire. On top of her enormous success as a singer, she also has various brand partnerships with multiple brands including McDonalds, MAC Cosmetics, and Champion.
Through persistence and unwavering determination, Saweetie turned her aspirations into action. She continues to inspire students and faculty as a guest lecturer by bringing her authentic self and one-of-a-kind story to the classroom. During her recent visit to USC Marshall, she received a certificate of appreciation for her “outstanding contribution in hosting entrepreneurial students at the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies.”
Albert Napoli’s class which focuses on feasibility analysis allows students to develop, analyze, and validate entrepreneurial concepts including marketing, operational, and financial considerations using customer feedback and risk assessment to conclude worthiness to pursue.
“What I teach is not case study. It’s very experimental. In my class, you have to go out in the real world and test your products. The methodology that is taught doesn’t reduce risk but it heightens the viability for success,” Napoli added.
One piece of advice he shared with his students: “Be a person of action. Regardless of your background everyone can become a successful entrepreneur if you leverage the resources at USC.”

Anca; "Calm as a superpower"04-07-2018
Since her first introduction, Anca has imposed herself as little-talk in competition, a lot of fighting and does not know what it means "I can not," being one of the most renowned members of the famous team.
Unfortunately, Anca has been forced to abandon competition because of dermatological problems caused by long exposure to tropical conditions in the Dominican Republic. Her departure from the team was one of the most regretted moments by fans, being a model of endurance, ambition and fair-play among the Famous.
Recently, she posted on Instagram a photo with a text "calm as a superpower" which definitely defines her and seems to be the secret of her professional success.


If you’ve been on the internet at all in the past week, you’ve probably seen the videos of Sebastián Gil, the 16-year-old native of Puebloviejo canton in Ecuador who is gaining popularity due to his striking similarity to and spot-on performance of Michael Jackson.
Sebastián first became interested in MJ’s career when he was just 6 years old and has been honing his skills ever since, much to the delight of his hundreds of thousands of social media followers.
It all began when Sebastián was pushed by his classmates to sing at a school event. He decided to perform “Billie Jean” and completely stunned everyone in attendance with not only his physical similarity to MJ but also his vocal resemblance. A video from the performance quickly made its way to TikTok where it racked up over 5 million views and earned Sebastián the nickname “the Ecuadorian Michael Jackson.”
Since Sebastian made himself known on social media, he’s been overwhelmed with positive messages and comments from people all over the world. On TikTok alone, he has over 700,000 followers and counting!
His newfound fame has even motivated him to pursue music professionally. In an interview with the Ecuadorian newspaper El Universo, Sebastián shared that he hopes to one day perform on stage with some of MJ’s backup dancers.
Sebastián Gil’s story is one that is sure to inspire anyone who has ever pursued a dream.


By now, everyone knows about Arthur Killer Kane, the bassist of the New York Dolls who converted to Mormonism. But there is another significant Mormon connection to the 1970s glam rock scene.
Michael (“Mick”) Ronson was born in 1946 in Hull, Yorkshire, the son of a devout Mormon couple named George and Minnie Ronson. He had an early affinity for music, and played the organ for his local Mormon congregation. At 17, inspired by the Yardbirds and the Beatles, he started playing guitar.
After a few years playing with local bands and in London, in 1970 Ronson (who came to be called “Ronno” by his friends and fans) was recruited to play for David Bowie’s band. Ronson played lead guitar (and assisted with the arrangement and production) on Bowie’s three seminal albums: The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. For three years he toured the world with Bowie and became a bona fide rock star. Of this era, Bowie later said: “Mick was the perfect foil for the Ziggy character. He was very much a salt-of-the-earth type, the blunt northerner with a defiantly masculine personality, so that what you got was the old-fashioned Yin and Yang thing. As a rock duo, I thought we were every bit as good as Mick and Keith or Axl and Slash. Ziggy and Mick were the personification of that rock ‘n’ roll dualism.”
Ronson left Bowie’s band in 1973 to embark on a solo career that saw limited success. He saw far greater success producing, arranging, and playing guitar and keyboard on other artists’ albums. His most significant production credit was on Lou Reed’s classic album Transformer. Reed has said: “Transformer is easily my best-produced album. That has a lot to do with Mick Ronson. His influence was stronger than David [Bowie]’s, but together as a team they are terrific.” Throughout his career, Ronson worked with a wide variety of artists, including Elton John, Roger McGuinn (the Byrds), Ian Hunter (Mott the Hoople), Van Morrison, David Johanssen and Morrissey. He even spent some time touring with Bob Dylan as part of the renowned “Rolling Thunder Revue” in 1976. Some have speculated that Dylan’s experimentation with makeup during this time may have been influenced by Ronson.
Echoing Arthur Kane’s story, Ronson’s last major live performance was at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992, where he reunited with old friends, playing “All The Young Dudes” with David Bowie and Ian Hunter, and “Heroes” and “The Lords Prayer” with Bowie. Ronson died of cancer on April 29, 1993. A memorial service for him was held in a Mormon chapel in London.
There are conflicting accounts about Ronson’s connection to the Church. His Wikipedia article states: “Ronson was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but had grown disenchanted with the faith before his untimely death.” He also appears on several on-line lists as a “former Mormon.”
Other sources I’ve seen, however, recount that Ronson was an Elder in the Church and quietly active until his death. A 2002 SL Weekly article reports that in two magazine obituaries, Ronson was named as being a Mormon when he died: â€œRonson, who was still a member of the Mormon Church, had a 15-year old daughterâ€ (Q Magazine, July 1993); and â€œA church service for Ronson, a Mormon, was held in London on Thursday 6 May, he was buried in his native Hull the next dayâ€ (Record Collector, July 1993). I’ve also heard reports that he was indeed actively Mormon, but hid that fact from his fans and musician friends.
The SL Weekly article contains this interesting quote about Ronson from David Bowie: â€œMick was exactly the same, he was so balanced throughout his life. Whatever that manâ€™s background was, it served him well. He was so rock solid, it was exactly the same Mick Iâ€™d known 20 years before. . . . I felt [Mick] had the beauty of complete acceptance. And an almost unshakeable belief that he would survive this life and the next.â€

“Nobody knows what really happened in my life until I tell them.” – Stevie Nicks
One of the most important figures of music in recent memory, Stevie Nicks isn’t just the enigmatic lead singer in Fleetwood Mac; she’s a double Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and a creative visionary. An expert writer and a supreme vocalist, Nicks’ command of music is a natural gift and one unlike anything contemporary music has seen before. However, the pleasure-seeking instincts of Nicks in the late 1970s is notoriously unparalleled, with her party binges on the same level as her incredible musical prowess. In truth, it’s somewhat of a miracle that she was even able to perform as finely as she did.
What started out as recreational activity soon escalated rapidly into something much more severe. Nicks suffered through several incidents throughout her partying career – one of which almost left her blind – but even that didn’t stop her from consuming her prefered powder of choice a matter of moments later. The singer has since got ahold of her substance issues and, with it, used her influence to help spread the dangers of cocaine abuse.
Nicks’ drug addiction had escalated from casual recreational use to a pure reliance on cocaine and, by the time that Fleetwood Mac’s seminal album Rumours swung around, the singer was in the grips of addiction. Joining Fleetwood Mac was something that Nicks was initially reluctant to do and, in actual fact, was quite happy making music with Lindsay Buckingham — but one phone call from Mick Fleetwood would prove to be a life-changing moment.
Bob Welch had plunged the future of Fleetwood Mac into turmoil when he tendered his resignation on New Year’s Eve, a decision that left Mick Fleetwood in a quandary, and he needed to replace Welch swiftly. Despite it being a celebratory evening, Fleetwood wasn’t in a mood for partying and instead spent the night plotting potential names that he could use to fill Welch’s boots in the band. He knew Keith Olsen had produced the second Buckingham Nicks record and asked him to put the feelers out to see if Buckingham wanted to jump ship to join the Mac. However, Olsen said that wouldn’t happen unless Nicks came too and, in Fleetwood’s eyes, it was the more, the merrier.
It was with the band, now growing rock stars, that Nicks’ penchant for powder first grew. Whether they were in the studio or when they went out on the road, drugs were omnipresent. It soon became a pre-show ritual of sorts for the group to join in a ceremonial bump of coke immediately before going on stage — an introduction which quickly becomes much more and saw Nicks enter into the inescapable trap of addiction.
Nicks has often struggled with stage fright, and there’s a fair theory that suggests that her only relief from the issue was a bump before going on. More than anything else, however, it offered momentarily escape from touring. Nicks was struggling to cope with rigorous schedules and began suffering incredible loneliness with nobody of her own to turn to. The fascination with the drug continued and, during the recording of Rumours, she and Christine McVie purchased ladylike coke vials of which McVie described as “little beautiful coke bottles” that they wore around their necks which, she said, were encrusted with “gold, turquoise, and diamonds.”
While the surroundings were spiralling out of control, Nicks was still painfully lonely despite dating Don Henley. While on the surface they may have appeared as the perfect rock couple, their busy schedules meant that they weren’t much of a couple at all and this led to her starting a cocaine-fuelled affair with Mick Fleetwood. She later opened up to Oprah about the ‘doomed’ affair, saying they were the “last two people at a party,” and that, “It was a doomed thing [that] caused pain for everybody.”
Prior to the first night of the Rumours World Tour, Nicks had a party with the rest of the band that was wild even by their own heady proportions. The group celebrated the news that the album had just gone platinum the only way they knew how—but the party almost had dire consequences. This celebration almost lasted 48 hours straight, and the singer forgot to remove her contact lenses which wore off her cornea, almost leaving Nicks blind. Thankfully, the band’s tour manager bandaged up her eyes at the venue for the first tour date and prevented her from losing her sight.
Nicks has been open in recent years about her prior issues with substance abuse and, more specifically, about how she completely lost control of her behaviour during this hedonistic period. The disregard for her health also resulted in physical injury; the snorting had burnt a hole the size of a coin in the side of her nose. Her addiction was worsening more rapidly than ever before.
Even after the band took a break in 1982, Nicks didn’t step away from her heavy drug use, which, if anything, increased under the pressure of pursuing life as a solo performer. The singer was in a dark place at this time, and her personal life was in turmoil as she watched several relationships break down and, to compound the misery, her best friend passed away. In those turbulent times, drugs remained a constant despite everything else in her life seemingly disappearing.
When Fleetwood Mac returned to the studio to create Tango in the Night, Nicks repeatedly blacking out and, as a result, was told by a doctor that she was on the cusp of suffering a brain haemorrhage. Nicks says that she was told, in no uncertain terms, “The next time you do cocaine. It won’t be pretty”.
“All of us were drug addicts, but there was a point where I was the worst drug addict,” she would later recall. “I was a girl, I was fragile, and I was doing a lot of coke. And I had that hole in my nose. So it was dangerous.”
In 1986, Nicks would listen to the advice of her bandmates and visit the Betty Ford Clinic in a bid to get clean from coke which, thankfully, proved successful. However, the stint in rehab did lead to a nine-year addiction to Valium as well as other drugs that were prescribed to her by doctor’s to keep her clean. In a spiralling system that many have endured, the only way Nicks managed to get clean from prescriptions was to ask her PA to take the drugs she was being forced to take. Of course, it was a move met with horror from her doctor. However, Nicks came to the realisation that, by taking a regimented system of prescription drugs, the path was as equally deadly as the one she endured with cocaine. In response, she decided to kick them all into touch and turn her hand to sobriety, something she is now in total control of.
There’s no denying that Stevie Nicks’ battle with cocaine isn’t one that is out of the ordinary. Countless people across the globe suffer from a similar addiction. While Nicks was able to have so many close shaves and yet still find a pathway out of the mire of addiction is not only proof of her iconic status as a rock star but as her determination as a human. Stevie Nicks smartened up and straightened out just in time to enjoy her legacy as a true great.


“Obviously our music is very different.”
Kate Bush was inducted as a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for 2023 and a tribute was paid by an unlikely source.
Nominated three times before: in 2018, 2021 and 2022, Bush found a brand new audience when her hit single ‘Running Up That Hill” was used in the latest season of Stranger Things, introducing her music to a new generation of fans.
The English singer-songwriter was inducted into the Rock Hall Class of 2023 in May, alongside George Michael, Willie Nelson, Missy Elliott, Sheryl Crow, Rage Against the Machine, and the Spinners.
Speaking of the honour, Bush said: “I have to admit I’m completely shocked at the news of being inducted into the Hall of Fame! It’s something I just never thought would happen,” she said in a statement after the news became public.
While she wasn’t present at the event itself, the honour was announced alongside a tribute speech from one of her biggest fans: Big Boi from Outkast.
Describing Bush as his favourite artist, the rapper has previously tried to get in touch with the singer for years, eventually getting through to her on a phone call in 2012.
Outkast rapper Big Boi honours Kate Bush with brilliant speech
In his speech for Kate Bush’s inclusion into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Big Boi said the he was introduced to her music by his favourite uncle Russell in middle school and likened himself to the kids from Stranger Things listening to ‘Running Up That Hill’ on is bike.
“I know what some of you are thinking,” he said. “What does Kate Bush have to do with hip-hop? She is such a unique artist, you might as well also ask: What does Kate Bush have to do with rock’n’roll?
“Obviously our music is very different. But in important ways, we’re exactly the same. What I love about Kate’s music is that I never know what sound I’m gonna hear next. She ignores anything that seems like a formula and instead just does whatever she wants to do, like me. She challenges me as a listener and expands my ears and my mind.”
It was an honor and a privilege to induct Kate Bush into the Rock n Roll hall of Fame ! pic.twitter.com/E4J26upwGr
— Big Boi (@BigBoi) November 4, 2023
Big Boi went on to praise Bush’s “incredibly inventive” voice, saying she is a “miracle” on stage: “Kate is a songwriter, producer, and performer without equal. If that’s not hip-hop, I don’t know what is.
“When I didn’t know Kate, I imagined she lived in London in a castle high on top of a mountain writing fairy tales and playing a big ass piano—super big, like Bugs Bunny big. The truth is a little bit different from that. I met Kate, we had long conversations, I introduced my family to her, and I met her son out at her shows in London. It was cool.
“It’s no surprise that she had a surge of popularity decades after she emerged on the scene. After all, if you were hearing Kate’s music for the first time, why wouldn’t you believe she was a current artist? The only mistake you might make is that the artists she influenced had influenced her. But it’s very much the other way around.
“Kate Bush has helped shape contemporary music, even the music of artists who have never heard of her. She is a true artist and a true visionary and that’s why Kate Bush belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

It's been a while since I posted a music related thread. To be honest it's been a while since I posted any kind of thread beyond the odd question or two. I wasn't prepared to see Eddie pass, we get wrapped up in our own lives. Below are some links to a great interview with Eddie and his son Wolfgang's new tribute to his late father.
We all have our guitar heroes, and opinions, lets keep them respectful. Eddie left a mark on music evolution. Many of the greats spoke openly about him. About their respect for his abilities. He was mortal but IMHO his contributions, will outlive us all.

When the Autoclub Speedway brought us to their renowned SoCal track to film with rocker Sammy Hagar, we weren’t sure what to expect. But the ‘Red Rocker’ was a total sweetheart. We had a blast filming four commercials with him at the speedway, and got a kick out of his one special craft service request: a bottle of his signature Cabo Wabo tequila.

To a generation of television viewers, Roy Clark was a genial hayseed, co-host to the country variety and comedy series "Hee-Haw," from 1969 through most of the 1970s. But to much of the music world, Clark is respected musician, songwriter, singer and arranger, and he's still very active today.
He was born on April 15, 1933, in Meherrin, Virginia, into a musical family. His mother played piano and his father was quite a picker, playing guitar, banjo and fiddle. His father had worked his way from field hand and tobacco farmer to making telescope and periscope lenses, a job that brought the family to Washington D.C. during WWII when Clark was 11.
Curious about his father's banjo, Clark first played it like a drum, until his dad straightened him out and began showing him basic picking techniques. Clark's aptitude was immediately apparent and his father was soon bringing him to country dances he was performing at in Washington area halls and clubs. With music becoming his priority, the fifteen-year-old guitarist quit D.C.'s Chamberlain Vocational High School in early 1949, only a half-semester away from graduation. Clark's real education began when he entered the Washington, D.C. nightclub world at that point, hitting D.C. and Prince Georges County clubs like the Wagon Wheel, Club Hillbilly, Chubby's and the Campus.
Clark was then playing banjo as much as guitar, and his five-string work won him several contests, one of which got him on stage at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville at age 17. At 18, Clark became a professional boxer, but after winning his first 15 bouts, his 16th was a bad defeat that convinced him to head back to music for a career. He toured the east coast making a reputation in clubs as a ferocious banjo player and a dynamic frontman, and he was a regular guest on such radio programs as "Ozark Jubilee" and the D.C. area "Town and Country Time." He became friends with Jimmy Dean, the rising country star who had settled in Washington after his military stint and was performing in local clubs with his band the Texas Wildcats. The two often performed together, with Clark briefly joining Dean's band, but also fronting his own groups, including the Stardusters, tearing it up at such long-gone local joints as the Dixie Pig, Hunter's Lodge, Strick's, the Quonset Inn and the 4400 Club.
Clark hooked up with Dean's manager, the fabled local radio personality Connie B. Gay, and Gay invited Clark to become a regular on Dean's television show "Town and Country" a program Clark took over when Dean moved to New York to pursue bigger things.
Rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson heard about a hot picker up in Washington when she was searching for a guitarist, and one Sunday came to see Clark at Strick's. She hired him after one show and took him to Las Vegas as her band leader, a gig that brought him to the ears of Capitol Records executives. They quickly signed Clark who had a hit with his first release, "The Lightning Fast Fingers of Roy Clark." It landed him on the Tonight Show for the first of many appearances, and his telegenic qualities made him a natural for the medium.
He had hits throughout the ‘60s, and his rising profile led Buck Owens to tap Clark as his co-host on the newly created "Hee-Haw." His hits "Tips of My Fingers," "Come Live With Me," "Yesterday When I was Young," "I Never Picked Cotton," "Thank God and Greyhound" and many more proved him to be a durable hit maker for two decades, and he was named Entertainer of the Year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music. In 1976 he was the first country star to perform in the Soviet Union, and in 1983 Clark became one of the first artists to open a theater in Branson, Missouri.

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Katie Hubbard for the information in this story.)
This December, Chelsea native Jeff Daniels will keep the holiday season fun going with his annual “Onstage and Unplugged” concert at The Purple Rose Theatre Company (PRTC).
Performances run Wednesday, Dec. 27 through Sunday, Dec. 31. Tickets are $78, except for the New Year’s Eve concert, which is $88.
“The chance to see Jeff perform is always a thrill,” says Artistic Director Guy Sanville. “But the opportunity to be in a room with him, his guitar, and his music, is more than a rich and delightful entertainment experience. It is a backstage pass, a glimpse into the man, the artist and what he loves, pokes fun at and believes. As he told me once, ‘My songs are my journal.’”
Founder of the Purple Rose Theatre Company, Daniels will perform a family-oriented set of songs that create both hilarious and tender moments. The lineup features crowd favorites from his albums “Live at the Purple Rose,” “Grandfather’s Hat,” “Together Again,” “Keep It Right Here,” “Days Like These,” and his most recent album, “Simple Truths.”

My good friend Emily has asked me to do a best/worst dressed list for the Grammys. I’m not really sure I’m qualified to judge folks’ fashion choices, but I’m going to give it the good ole college try. I figured since I was writing something, I might as well post it on my blog as well. Look for a version of this post up on her blog soon.
Before I delve into what people are wearing, let me take a minute and say that Whitney Houston’s music punctuated my childhood and I’m saddened by her death. She was an incredible talent, but unfortunately, fell into the trap that too many incredible talents fall. Her music will live on forever.
And now, without further ado, here are the notes I took while watching the ceremony…
Giluiana looks great in a short black dress with a chic belt. Love her look.
Foster the People – guys look dapper in their laidback looks. Like the blue and white striped shirts that they were all wearing during the performance. They looked about 12 years old, but kinda cute.
Ladies Love Cool James. As always, LL looks delicious. Seriously, the man never ages.
Alison Krauss – ugh. white, long and drapey. But also ugly. Yuck.
Ledisi – love that silver dress, but also wish she had hiked the top of it up before stepping on the red carpet.
Paris Hilton – very understated and elegant.
Corrine Bailey Rae – a personal favorite of mine, wearing Christian Siriano – beautiful black dress.
Taraji P. Henson – I didn’t love her pink dress, although I love her.
Bruno Mars – looks like he looks every time I see him. Love his outfit when he performed. Flashy, but keeps with his usual style. Nicely done, Bruno.
Kelly Rowland – looks beautiful from head to toe.
Adele – as you know, I love her. Initially I didn’t love her look. But after seeing her a couple times, it grew on me. I’m not sure I love her hair color. But I do like the sparkly dress. And I LOVE her second dress, it’s fun and cute and I love the details. I also thought her softer, performance make up was perfect.
Oooh Carrie Underwood – love that look. She looks stunning.
I don’t know who Sasha Gradiva is, but she looks like a mess. Ugh.
Katy Perry – love the dress, hate the hair.Her performance costume was…interesting?
I actually love that dress. Risky, but it looks good on her. Okay, I take it back, upon looking at the official picture of her. It’s orange and hideous. Oh, Fergie.
Nicki Minaj – Um. Little red riding hood with a fake pope. Sometimes I’m just not fashionable enough – because I’m sorry, I hated the whole thing. I’m sure it’s avant garde or something. But having someone pretend the be the Pope is a bit weird. I’m also making an executive decision to ignore her whole, scary performance. Seriously, I think it might give me nightmares…
Blake Shelton – gosh he is tall. And very handsome. I love him more and more each time I see him on television. He looked great.
Alicia Keys – Hmm. I like her outfit as she performs. Love that she at Bonnie Raitt performed “Sunday Kind of Love” – beautiful song and both ladies looked great.
Jessie J – love the sparkles. Form fitting, but it works for her.
Miranda Lambert – I like her dress. I like her husband more.
Diana Ross – LOVE her hair. She’s a diva and looks like a fabulous diva every time.
John Legend – always looks dapper. I love the cut of his suit.
Taylor Swift – the dress is beautiful but I don’t love the color on her. Her performance dress made me feel like she should be on “Little House on the Prarie.” Didn’t love it, but it went with her set.
Rihianna– her dress is very very sexy,but I do not love her hair. It’s always fun to hear her speak – her voice is so different from how she sounds when she sings. I feel kind of neutral about her performance outfit – all black and not exciting at all. Very common for her.
Common – Great smile, but I wish he’d dressed up more.
Lady Gaga – what is there to say about her? This was actually one of her more laid back outfits.
Chris Brown – lots of controversy, but man can the kid dance. I liked his b-boy look with the letter jacket. Reminds me of the letter jackets Em created for us for Halloween. 🙂
Kelly Clarkson – Like her dress, like her hair, love her voice.
Adam Levine – Loved his vest and his whole look. Like how his shirt was a little bit different from the other guys in Foster the People.
The Civil Wars – loved her black, short dress with the pleats. Very cute and she looked great.
Robyn – easily wins my “hot mess” award of the evening. Ugh…I didn’t actually see her on the red carpet, but saw this picture. I mean, really, it speaks for itself. How hideous.
Jennifer Hudson’s performance was so incredible that I forgot to judge her outfit. But she looked beautiful with her pretty hair and classy, black simple dress.
Alright, so who was the BEST and who was the WORST?
Best: Carrie Underwood and Adele’s performance dress.
Worst: Duh, Robyn. Also, Nicki Minaj. I didn’t love it. And her performance scared me. I’m not joking.

It’s finale night on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! After a season of tabloid scandals, changes in friendships, witchcraft, and some offensive language (Brandi Glanville) the fourth season of the Bravo series is coming to an end. This week, the ladies are all going to a birthday party for Beverly Hills. (I can practically hear people scoffing)
It marks the first time the women have been together since the heated confrontation in Puerto Rico when the girls questioned Lisa about possibly trying to set up some awkward camera moments about Kyle’s marital rumors. When the cast all arrives, the awkward greetings begin. Yolanda and Kyle approach Lisa to say hello which results in an awkward silence, and Ken avoiding them. Eventually, Kim makes her way to Ken and Lisa to apologize for her actions during the Puerto Rico trip and Ken accepts, then walks away. Not exactly the nicest action for someone who wanted an apology, just throwing that out there.
Brandi and Carlton strike up a conversation and when Brandi expresses (once again *sigh*) her issues with Lisa, Carlton rolls her eyes which causes Brandi to become agitated. Brandi then questions if Carlton has had Lisa in her ear feeding her information which she claims happened to her before.
Later, Lisa pulls Kyle aside for a one-on-one conversation to explain why she left. She is adement she had nothing to do with the cheating tabloids being brought up like Brandi and Yolanda have insinuated. Kyle says that she wants to move forward and not get caught in the drama and Lisa says she can’t do it anymore herself.
In a surprising bonding moment, Yolanda and Kim discuss how they’ve dealt with sending their daughters off to college, and the sadness that comes with it. After a rough reunion between the two last year, it’s quite interesting to see how far they have come.
Brandi decides it’s time to discuss her issues with Lisa, but first gets a drink of course. Her main issue seems to be the Scheana situation, and the fact that Lisa continues to push the two to be around each other. Brandi explains that she doesn’t care at all for the woman who she says contributed to the downfall of her marriage after the affair. Brandi labels Scheana with a few unkind words, and Lisa basically informs Brandi that she doesn’t see her in the same light. This pushes Brandi to claiming that maybe the two aren’t really friends after all. When Lisa attempts to explain her issues, Brandi dismisses her saying it doesn’t matter, it’s all about Brandi; which is exactly what viewers are getting tired of. By the end of the conversation, reconciliation seems unlikely for now.
Ken and Mauricio talk it out, and like most guys the issue is cleared up (not fond of Ken’s constant Kim bashing though.).
Yolanda and Brandi once again pop up with accusations against Lisa, and she sticks with her story of not being aware of the tabloid drama. Things get uncomfortable when Yolanda says her husband, David Foster, wouldn’t be around someone like Ken. Brandi chimes in adding and “her husband has a job.” Really nice thing to say to someone you claim to love.
Lisa and Ken leave the party, and the final scenes show that the rest of the ladies seem to be coexisting well (minus Kyle and Carlton of course).
We learn that since filming Yolanda is moving closer to Beverly Hills and out of Malibu, Joyce will host the Queen of the Universe pageant, and Kim is starting to live her new life with her youngest now moved out. As for the other housewives, Kyle is helping her daughter Portia become a child actor, Brandi has a new bestselling book, and Lisa is opening her gay bar Pump, while Carlton still wants nothing to do with Kyle.
It was an interesting shift this season, and it should be an entertaining drama filled reunion, Come back next week for the Reunion Recap!
