That's a good song. Not a good video. You'd probably be better served just putting the song on your Iphone and listening to it after torking up in some State where marijuana is legal while riding your bicycle through the wilderness than watching the video. But it's a good song.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

I had to listen to that song at every wrestling practice from 1987-1989. Wrestling movie...that took place in Spokane...super cliche’d.

Nostalgic 80’s cool...that does not stand the test of time...

Speaking of wrestling, I remember being home from college during Christmas break and going to a wrestling match at my high school. (Had a great program back then) When it came time to begin, our lineup entered the gym and stood in a line at the edge of the mat. Then the song Hell's Bells started playing and with each gong at the beginning, the next wrestler would begin a jog around the circle on the mat. 12 gongs, 12 weight classes.

ACDC made our playlist as well. Did they have all the lights off except over the mat?

Last month the Supreme Court held in Janus v. AFSCME that it is unconstitutional for the states to require public employees to pay labor unions if they choose not to become members (these payments were called "agency fees"). There has been plenty written about what this means for the future of public sector unions and what might happen next. But it turns out that there is another important question: what about the agency fees that unions had been collecting before Janus? Are unions liable for collecting them? Can they be forced to pay them back?

This will be interesting to see what happens if public unions are forced to pay back dues that had collected in the past.

......Police said Daniels was busted after allegedly touching three different undercover vice police officers during her performance at the Sirens club, in violation of state law barring anyone who is not a family member from touching a dancer who is either nude or semi-nude.

Court documents reportedly claim that Daniels, during her performance, forced faces of club customers into her breasts and used her exposed breast to smack their faces. She also allegedly fondled the breast of female customers.

The Columbus Police Department said in a statement posted to Twitter Thursday that the arrest was part of a "a long-term investigation into allegations of human trafficking, prostitution, along with other vice related violations." Two other individuals were arrested in connection with the investigation, according to the police...."

WHISTLEBLOWER PROVIDES EMAILS THAT SHOW STORMY DANIELS’ ARREST WAS PRE-PLANNED

In an exclusive investigation, the Advocate has obtained emails from a whistleblower from inside the Columbus Police Department that outline the arrest of Stormy Daniels earlier this month may have been pre-planned days before she ever arrived in town.

Columbus Police arrested the adult entertainer — who claims to have had an affair with then-private citizen Donald Trump in 2006 — on July 12. Police said that Daniels violated an Ohio law by “touching” club-goers, who were actually undercover VICE officers. The charges were dismissed 12 hours later after Daniels hired Columbus defense attorney Chase Mallory. Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein said the elements were not met in the charges and that is why the cases were tossed out. Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs apologized and called it a “mistake.”

Within hours of her arrest, Daniels’ personal attorney Michael Avenatti called it a political hit-job and vowed to investigate.



“The emails definitely show that the police lied about it being a prostitution and human trafficking mission,” the whistleblower said.
