The UFO vocalist Phil Mogg suffered a heart attack in 2023 and the plans for a possible farewell tour had to be canceled. A few months ago he confirmed that the Hard Rock band was done and he already announced the first album of his new project called Moggs Motel. In a new interview The Metal Gods Meltdown (Transcribed by Blabbermouth), the musician said that UFO is done and won't reunite anymore. Phil Mogg confirms UFO won't reunite anymore "I think we've reached that point now (that the band is over). (So) I believe when Pete (Way) went, that it kind of took the wind out of our sails, out of the band, really. I know he was going a bit loopy, but he had a lot of the character which was in the band. So, no, we couldn't replace him. And no, definitely not. No. I think that'd end up being like the Frank Sinatra tour, wouldn't it? What's the other band? Scorpions kept retiring, didn't they?" "The other thing is when you say, 'This is our last tour,' that really should be. Because people come along and they've spent their money getting there or doing whatever for the last tour. Then if you turn around and do another one, they go, 'Oh, you've just done your last tour. I've just paid 50 quid for that.' It would be a little bit unfair," Phil Mogg said. During the same interview he answered how he would like UFO to be remembered "Just as a cracking good little band. Nothing too glorious, but just… You know when you go, like I do, I'd seen The Animals at Club Noreik in Tottenham when I was about 14, 15. And I always would go, 'Oh, that was a good band. I really enjoyed that night.' And I enjoyed Eric Burdon. So, I think that's compliment enough," Phil Mogg said. Career with UFO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkWD8JqNOb0&pp=ygULbW9nZ3MgbW90ZWw%3D Formed in London, England in 1968, they became in the following decades one of the most influential Hard Rock bands of all time. Besides Mogg, some of the other classic members of the band were Pete Way (Bass), Andy Parker (Drums) and Michael Schenker (Guitar). In almost five decades of career, the band released 22 studio albums, the final one being “The Salentino Cuts” (2017). They were a huge influence to famous bands like Iron Maiden, for example. For decades, the Metal band plays their song “Doctor Doctor” as the intro of their concerts. The band’s leader, the bassist Steve Harris is a huge fan of UFO. Some of their most famous tracks are “Doctor Doctor”, “Rock Bottom”, “Mother Mary” and “Lights Out”. The post Phil Mogg confirms UFO won’t reunite anymore appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Formed in Toronto, Canada back in 1968, Rush started more as a Hard Rock group, being even compared with Led Zeppelin on their first album. But after the drummer Neil Peart joined the band and became their main lyricist, Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee also explored more their Progressive Rock influences, mixing Prog with Hard Rock, creating a unique sound. They experimented a lot in their career, writing simple and really complex songs. Sometimes they even had trouble playing the songs they recorded. Geddy Lee once talked about a Rush hit that is tough to play. The Rush hit Geddy Lee said it is tough to play live As Lee said in an interview with Prog magazine in 2013, the song that is difficult to play live is "Spirit of Radio", released on their 1980 album "Permanent Waves". "There are two or three songs we do every night when I hope that we're all on the same time when we play them. The Spirit Of Radio is one. It was always hard to play and it's still hard to play! I always hold my breath a little bit before we play it. And some nights it goes completely haywire. It's a toughie!" Geddy Lee said. The real station that inspired Rush’s Spirit of The Radio “Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion, unobtrusive, plays that song that’s so elusive, and the magic music makes your morning mood”. If you are a big Rush fan you probably heard this phrase a thousand times. Because it is simply the intro of the song. Although the track is a tribute to every radio station in the world, it was actually inspired by a Canadian station called CFNY, which was formed in 1960 and still exists, now called “102.1 The Edge” and plays Alternative Rock. During the same interview with Prog magazine in 2013, Geddy Lee talked about that station. He said: “CFNY reminded us of when FM radio first started in America and Canada,” Geddy says. “You’d have your favorite DJ and he had no playlist – he would just play music.” He continued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuL_euRslTc&pp=ygUQc3Bpcml0IG9mIHJhZGlvIA%3D%3D “So he was turning you on to new music all the time. It was part of why we became musicians – it was that important. And this was a stark contrast to what was happening in 1980. (Which was) the beginning of consultants programming 50 radio stations across the country. That was kind of depressing to think of. So the song was a lament for a better time,” Geddy Lee said. Curiously, the track also has a small kind of tribute to the Simon and Garfunkel 60s song "Sound of Silence". The 60s song says: "And the sign said, 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls and whispered in the sounds of silence". The Rush track says: "The words of the profits are written on the studio wall, concert hall. Echoes with the sounds of salesmen." Besides being featured on the album "Permanent Waves", the track was also released as a single. It peaked at number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and performed better in the UK, peaking at number 13 on the singles chart.

(Natural News) Just as many suspected was the case, the “white nationalist hate group” (to quote the Southern Poverty Law Center) Patriot Front is nothing more than a front group for the FBI to inject federal agents into right-wing affairs.

...this is what happens.... UTL COMMENT:- WTF was THAT?? ????

UTL COMMENT:- And where did that piece of shit get all this money from?? ?

“There’s no road map. But we are all on the same journey. We are all exhausted.” Good message here. ????

Watching the Olympics is always an inspiring reminder of the incredible human ability to push the boundaries of excellence and achievement in sports. It can also be a good reminder of the utter inability the vast majority of us have to even come close to the feats those athletes perform. There's a funny phenomenon with the Olympics where we all become overnight armchair experts in every sport, critiquing diving teams' synchronicity and rock climbers' foot placement and gymnasts' landings as if we have any idea what we're talking about. And there's also the phenomenon where, somewhere in our bodies, we feel like we might actually be able to do backflips on a balance beam or butterfly stroke our way across a pool or run 100 meters in 10 seconds.Of course, the truth is we can't. It takes years and years of intense training to be able to do what Olympians do, and the rest of us aren't even in the same universe of skill and physical ability as they are. That's where the "didn't quality for the 2024 Olympics" viral video trend comes in, offering a hilariously humbling reality check for us all.When elite athletes make their sport look easy, it's easy to forget how hard what they do actually is. Seeing people blunder their way through it, though, makes the difficulty painfully clear. So when people started sharing videos of sports fails on social media, tagging them with the captions along the lines of, "Unfortunately didn't qualify for the 2024 Olympic team," it became a hilarious viral celebration of human un-achievement. For instance, this: @sky.to.swaggy surprised they didnt ask me to come out of retirement ?‍♀️ If @Simone Biles comments I’ll go back to gymnastics #olympics2024paris #gymnastics #simonebiles And this: @bellitabaute Training for LA 2028!! #2024olympics And this: @sweetpotatoes2006 maybe next olympics? Sometimes you don't make it because maybe you're just a little too powerful. @marshalls_life i gave it my best shot tho! #paris2024 #olympics #fail #fyp This girl is all of us after watching the diving events, mistakenly thinking we could do some of what they do. @www.ihaveacrushonyou maybe next year ! ?#olympics #iwillbethenextsteelejohnson or #simonebiles From high jump and pole vault fails to balls and bodies bouncing in ways they aren't supposed to, this trend has people wincing but rolling at the examples of why Olympians are Olympians and the rest of us are the rest of us. — (@) Of course, even Olympic athletes have epic fails of their own sometimes, which only serves to prove how difficult it is to get to their level but and execute their skills perfectly each time. All the more reason to appreciate their talent and hard work and perhaps to be a bit humbler in our critiques from the couch.Here's to humans who do extraordinary things—and to humans who find humor in all the epic fails it takes to get there.

Naming a baby isn’t the easiest thing that new parents will experience, and subjecting themselves to the well intentioned, but not so helpful input of others is one of the many aspects that makes the whole process really stressful. That of course goes double for naming twins. Everyone has an opinion on how matching, catchy or avant garde twin names should be, but outside opinions are rarely what parents need—especially when they didn’t ask for it. Imagine finally coming up with not one, but two perfect monikers meant to represent the two humans you’re bringing into the word ostensibly for their entire life, and someone completely raining on that parade. Doesn’t sound like new parent bliss. And that’s why one couple decided to come up with a list of fake twin names to give to any inquiring minds. Over in the r/namenerds subreddit, the couple shared that Tom and Jerry, Ben and Holly, Charlie and Lola and Ant and Dec had already been jotted down, and asked folks to share their own ideas. The answers did not disappoint. Funny twin names byu/LoadingTrolly innamenerds Of the celebrity name variety, Mary-Kate and Ashley was the top suggested, followed by Taylor and Travis, Lucy and Desi, Cheech and Chong, Penn and Teller. Then there were music-inspired choices, like Tu and Pac, Wayne and Garth, Sonny and Cher, Ike and Tina and Pink and Floyd. Plus a few names based on historical figures, like Antony and Cleopatra and Bonnie and Clyde. Of the twin names inspired by children’s shows, we had Snoopy and Woodstock, Zack and Cody Phineas and Ferb, Anna and Elsa, He-man and She-Ra Bluey and Bingo Fred & Barney Burt & Ernie, Even a few video game references with Mario & Luigi and Link and Zelda. And of course, Ken and Barbie. There were quite a few names based on literary icons. Be it authors, like Nora and Robert, Lewis and Carol, Agatha and Christie, Stephen and Kingsley, Jane and Austen, James & Joyce and William and Blake. Or characters like Hansel and Gretel, Jack and Jill, Cinderella and Prince (Charming) ,Thor and Loki, Nancy & Drew, and Romeo and Juliet . For the last one, it was suggested to “feign total ignorance that they’re not related” for added comedic effect. Next category: Movies/TV shows inspired names, which included Wednesday and Pugsley, Ross and Monica, Bart and Lisa, Cersei and Jaime (yikes!) and Luke and Leia. “I honestly don’t think anyone would be shocked if I suggested Luke and Leia ? That’s definitely going at the top of the list,” the OP commented. And from there, things descended into absurdity with suggestions like Easy-Peasy and Lemon-Squeezy, Copy and Paste, Dayquil and Nyquil, Gin & Tonic, Merlot & Chardonnay, Beavis and Butthead (especially if for twin girls). One last honorable mention goes to the person who shared, “My partner and I always joke that we’d tell everyone they were Yanni & Laurel after that internet ‘they sound the same’ thing that went around in 2020.” Ultimately, naming twins needs the same kind of considerations that all baby names do, which is to think about the real world implication their name might have beyond childhood. There’s just the added challenge of choosing between complete individuality or by acknowledging the unique sibling bond. No choice is necessarily better or worse than the other. Regardless, this couple has plenty of hilarious fake names to add to their decoy list. Mission accomplished.
