@axelandriab​ thank you so much for tagging me in this bc seeing brand new questions I’ve never answered before is like a breath of fresh air

Do you prefer writing in black or blue pen? black

Would you prefer to live in the country or the city? I think about this often and I always used to say city but I’m feeling more country now

If you could learn a new skill, what would it be? guitar... please... if not that then I’d like to speak German fluently...

Do you drink tea/ coffee with sugar? nope (unless you count honey as sugar for tea, then yes)

What was you favourite book as a child? I honestly don’t remember reading books/having books read to me but it was probably Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

Do you prefer baths or showers? I haven’t taken a bath in a good 6 years so I forget what it feels like (I don’t fit in my bathtub anymore... I’m too long) so I gotta say showers by default

If you could be a mythical creature, which one would you be? either some sort of fairy, nymph, or shapeshifter 

Paper or electronic books? Paper

What is your favourite item of clothing? my denim jacket with all my patches on it

Do you like your name? nope :3) I think Rachel is a very boring, generic, uncreative White Girl name and if I ever get famous (which ain’t gonna happen) I’d totally go by a pen/stage name

Who is a mentor to you? pssh just any of my Rock and Roll Dads (i.e. Joe Elliott, Brian May, Kevin Cronin, Nikki Sixx, etc), I feel like They guide me somehow

Would you like to be famous? famous for something good? Yes. I’m such an extrovert like 60% of the time and I love oversharing and sometimes feel like I’d be good at handling fame. Plus honestly I don’t feel like I’ll be able to survive long in life unless I somehow get famous bc let’s face it I’m never gonna have a “real career” or be satisfied with any job or be able to make a living by constantly working (but then again I don’t have any talent that can make me famous either oops)

Are you a restless sleeper? yeah more often than never :3)

Do you consider yourself a romantic person? aesthetically romantic, sometimes, but I identify as aro. Romance irl just feels wrong, like it doesn’t mix well with me, like when you put a certain metal in water and it explodes

Which element best represents you? Earth? Either earth or water

Who do you want to be closer to? “My favourite musicians ;(” <<stealing this too :c just all the Leppard bois pls

Do you miss someone at the moment? Nope

Tell us about an early childhood memory? I had a computer class in kindergarten, and I remember on the very first day of it, the teacher taught us what a floppy disc was when introducing us to all the parts of a computer. This was in 2006, and I still have yet to use one.

What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten? Probably chicken and waffle pringles, but dipped in chili (GOOD)

What are you most thankful for? the money I have in the bank (even tho I try not to touch it), my driver’s license, not having a job right now, my therapist, my music, my hamster, being surrounded by green

Have you ever met anyone famous? Yes, Rick Ray of Sunshine Allen :3 that’s it :’3

Do you keep a diary or journal? Nope, even tho my therapist told me that journaling my thoughts is a big help, I kinda don’t wanna go back to doing that

Do you prefer to use pen or pencil? Pen bc it flows easier

What is your star sign? Pisces

Do you like your cereal crunchy or soggy? Crunchy all the way, soggy cereal is a HUGE pet peeve of mine

What would you want your legacy to be? someone who was very interesting and did a lot of things

Do you like reading? What was the last book you read? honestly, reading is overrated. Even if the book is good, reading isn’t as hyped up as everyone on this site thinks it is. I do like reading sometimes, but I barely do. I read a lot in high school bc I had so much free time on my hands in class, but outside of school I can’t do it. The last book I read was a reread of The Princess Bride by William Goldman

How do you show someone you love them? *Lisa Simpson staring at plate* ??? Error 405??

Do you like ice in your drinks? yeah but not a lot. Maybe just one or two cubes to keep it cold but not to dilute it a lot

What are you afraid of? being stuck where I am forever, never escaping my family, never finding my path in life, whatever the hell is wrong with my mentality getting worse and impacting my life in a huge way, any health related problems, I could go on :3)

What is your favourite scent? Old Spice

Do you address older people by their name or surname? ...what exactly is this question asking? Depends on how casual I am with them/how well I know them

If money was not a factor, how would your life be different? I would NOT be living here that’s for damn sure :3) I would’ve been to so many different places by now and maybe I’d actually have a real life and actually BE an interesting person

Do you prefer swimming in pools or the ocean? pools, bc the ocean is too salty and choppy and doesn’t smell as good as chlorine imo

What would you do if you found $50 on the ground? “I’d pick it up, and if I saw the person who dropped it, I’d give it back to them” << true but then if i couldn’t find them then I’d probably go buy some records with it and put the change aside into my Concert Fund

What is one thing you’d want to teach your children? honestly I don’t think I’m ever gonna have kids, but I’d want them to understand that gender roles don’t exist, and neither do the opinions of society

If you had to get a tattoo right now, what and where would it be? ...I’m actually getting a tattoo next week... it’s going to be on the side of my right shoulder, a silhouette of a pine tree with an outline of a crescent moon above it

What can you hear now? The sound of the fridge runnin in the room behind me, my mom getting something out of a drawer

Where do you feel the safest? in my bedroom

What is one thing you want to overcome/conquer? whatever’s fucked up in my head like anxiety and trauma, etc

If you could travel back to any era in time, what would it be? if I had to travel back anywhere and stay there for the rest of my life, I’d probably go back 1979 to see the dawn of the 80s and live through them. If I had to go for a day then I’d probably pick the summer of 1988 or something

What is your most used emoji? probably 🤙

Describe yourself using one word? tough

What do you regret most? not going to see Def Leppard and Journey when they were less than an hour away 2 years ago. Yes, I couldn’t drive back then, so there was really no way I could’ve gotten there and back (and I could’ve BARELY gotten a floor ticket to begin with, it would’ve cost like half the money I had to my name), but with the Stadium Tour being delayed ANOTHER year I feel like 2 years ago was the only chance I’ll ever have had to see my favorite band :c so even though it was basically impossible for me to go, and a lot of the factors of that were out of my control, I still feel like I blew it, and wish I tried literally everything I possibly could’ve done (like just buy the ticket and figure out how to get there later, call everyone I could think of to try and hitch a ride). Even if I did so, there was still a VERY, VERY slim chance that I could’ve ended up going by some goddamned MIRACLE okay I’ll shut up now sorry I’m just still very upset even so much time later

Last movie you saw? in theaters? Rocketman last summer. In general? Uhhhhh I really don’t know, I think it was Love, Simon

Last TV show you watched? on tv? Rick and Morty. In general? I was watching The Young Ones on youtube today

Invent a word and it’s meaning? Scress (we actually made this up like 2 years ago)- it’s a game where you play chess on a Scrabble board while also playing Scrabble

Rock Legends Pay Tribute Eddie Money

By Rob Nagy

A near-capacity crowd of baby boomers recently gathered at Beverly Hill’s historic Saban Theater to pay tribute to the late great rock and roll legend, Eddie Money. Featuring some of the biggest names in music, the two-hour concert hosted by the Money family featured guests Sammy Hagar (Van Halen), Georg Thorogood, John Waite (Baby’s), Mickey Thomas (The Starship), James Hetfield (Metallica), Tommy Tutone, Greg Kihn, Kevin Cronin and Dave Amato (RED Speedwagon), Waddy Watchel (Keith Richards) and Comedian Louie Anderson, who served as master of ceremonies. Backed by members of Eddie Money's band, which included his daughter and vocalist Jess and his son Dez on guitar, the two-hour concert spotlighted each artist performing Money’s biggest hits, which included “Baby Hold On”, “Two Tickets To Paradise”, ”I Think I’m In Love”, “Shakin’”, and “Take Me Home Tonight”, among others. A large projection screen at the rear of the stage served as a backdrop throughout the evening displaying photos of Money throughout his career as well as pre-recorded messages and performances from a variety of entertainers and musicians, which included Kevin James, Steve Miller, Loverboy, Dennis DeYoung (Styx), Rick Springfield, Boston, and Huey Lewis. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, made an on-stage appearance sharing his memories producing the historic US Music Festival, which Money was a guest performer. For the grand finale, all of the artists returned to the stage to the stage to sing Money’s “Two Ticket’s To Paradise”. Following a thunderous emotionally charged standing ovation, fans exited the theater to a recording of the classic song “There Will Never Be Another You”.

Eddie Money’s legacy will live on forever through his music, his quirky personality, and his engaging charm. His will be forever etched into the memories of generations of rock and roll fans for years to come.

In July 2019, Money underwent heart valve surgery and contracted pneumonia, causing him to cancel tour dates. On August 24, 2019, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. Complications from the cancer resulted in his death in a Los Angeles hospital on September 13, 2019, at age 70. The evening's proceeds are being donated to MusiCares & The USC Eddie Money Cancer Research Fund.

It's a brave new world for musicians, and even the biggest players in the industry have to hastily figure out how to navigate a path that is suddenly much narrower. This week, Taylor Swift announced that she would cancel her live appearance for the rest of the year. This included two major opening concerts at the SoFi stadium in L.A. Some predict that the concert and club industry will cease operations until 2021, musicians - most of whom rely on touring and selling merchandise as a solid block of income - will be stranded at home and stranded without a substantial part of their income. A potential source of income is already emerging with Zoom. Small artists in particular are building more intimate bridges with fans and will no doubt find even more ways to create new sources of income based on this. Related story Ticketmaster will offer refunds on shows and events canceled by a pandemic This week in music: PAUL COOPER DIES: Paul Cooper, an experienced executive in the music industry for over 50 years, died on March 26 at the age of 76. His rich history career has included many years at Universal Music Group as Vice President, Atlantic / Warner Records as Senior Vice President and General Manager, and A&M Recordings. MODIFIED AB5: Professional musicians breathed a sigh of relief as several music organizations successfully lobbied to amend the "concert workers" bill that would have limited their options. Most professional musicians will now be able to avoid limitations that would force them to declare themselves employed or to prevent others from hiring them as entrepreneurs. ANDREA BOCELLI SOARS: The Easter Sunday performance of the Italian tenor, broadcast via YouTube, set a record for the general public for a classic live broadcast in the history of this service. According to YouTube, Bocelli's "Music For Hope - Live From Duomo di Milano" reached more than 2.8 million viewers simultaneously. It also makes it one of the greatest live musical performances of all time. WHAT YOU ARE DOING: The Wonders - the fictional group at the heart of Tom Hanks' film This thing you do! - gathered via Zoom to watch and comment on the 1996 film. The event raised funds for MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund. Actors Johnathon Schaech, Tom Everett Scott, Steve Zahn and Ethan Embry called from their respective quarantines for their first meeting in 24 years. REO SPEEDOZARKS: The Ozarks returned to one of the biggest classic rock bands this week with an episode called "Kevin Cronin Was Here", a tribute to the singer of REO. The show included a live performance by the group It's time for me to fly,, With main character Wendy (played by Emmy Award® winner Laura Linney) singing the song in her car. The group is experiencing a bit of a renaissance with several songs on Billboard's Hot Rock song lists. LIVE NATION IS NOT YET DEAD: Few entertainment companies have been hit harder than Live Nation, which has seen its event activity evaporate. To combat this, CEO and President Michael Rapino is giving up his salary, and other senior executives have taken extreme haircuts. The company hopes to cut spending by $ 500 million. She also announced the opening of a new $ 120 million line of credit. Live Nation said cost reduction efforts will include "hiring freezes, reduced use of contractors, rent renegotiations, holidays and the reduction or elimination of other discretionary expenses, including , among others, travel and entertainment, repair and maintenance, and marketing.
