Vs Madonna |
AP reports: Madonna's plans to stage a mock
crucifixion during a Sunday concert in Rome have drawn fire from religious
leaders, who have condemned the stunt as "an act of open hostility" toward
the Roman Catholic Church.
"To crucify yourself in the city of the
pope and the martyrs is an act of open hostility," Cardinal Ersilio Tonini
was quoted as saying in La Stampa daily on Wednesday.[see full story for

| Scam
Lee Roth |
BW&BK reports: One sure way to lose money
in the concert business is to pay an advance deposit to a scam artist posing
as a booking agent. These frauds are not uncommon and are generally low
priority matters when reported to police.
Such is the case with a con man posing
as the agent for DAVID LEE ROTH. At least three different U.S. nightclubs
were taken in by the scam and two of them, including The Venue in Scottsdale,
Ariz., lost thousands of dollars in deposits.
Diamond Dave switched his representation
in May from CAA to Monterey International where Garry Buck is the responsible
agent. The scammer appears to be working out of the Chicago area and has
used a variety of names. Much to the real agent's chagrin, he has even
claimed to be "Gary Buck."[see full story for more]- Click

Muzak |
Blabbermouth reports: How many sleepless nights
have new parents spent trying to soothe a restless newborn? With the August
29 release of "Lullaby Renditions of Metallica", a solution is on the way.
Enter Sandman.
That's right, the music that set the standard
for aggressive, concussion-inducing rock will soon be lulling infants to
sleep through dreamy re-workings of their head-banging fury. Classics like
"Battery" and "Master of Puppets" feature glockenspiel, vibraphone, melotron,
harps, bells and more. The music is arranged and performed by Michael Armstrong.
Part of the Rockabye Baby! series from Baby Rock Records, the METALLICA
edition includes 11 of the band's most well-known songs. [see full story

| Tony
Ogden RIP |
thetripwire reports: Some sad news was just
forwarded to me regarding the Britpop group World Of Twist. Although they
never made a blip here in the States, they did achieve success with songs
such as "The Storm" and "Sons Of The Stage." They may have been best known
for their cover of The Rolling Stones' "She's A Rainbow," produced by Martin
Hannett. The band's career ended abruptly in 1992, with frontman Tony Ogden
leaving the life of rock & roll and retreating to his family's home
in northern England.
Although the cause is still unknown, the
cult Madchester icon passed away on July 26. The songwriter was working
on demos for his new project, The Bubblegum Secret Pop Explosion, up until
his death. [see full story for more]- Click
