Fall Out |
Day in Rock/MTV reports: MTV spoke with Fall
Out Boy Bassist Pete Wentz about their forthcoming album and the reasons
for the delay. Here is an excerpt from that article:
As it turns out,
it had nothing to do with the band and everything to do with shakeups at
its label,.
"We've been ready to record for about the
last three weeks, but there's been, um, if I go into specifics, I'll get
into trouble," he said. "There have been some changes at our label [Island/Def
Jam], a little bit of strangeness there. Half the phone numbers I have
for people at the label don't have people on the other end of them anymore.
It slowed us slightly, but we're getting back up to speed."[see full story

| Pardon
The Delay |
AP reports: Who knew that Keith Richards was
a reckless driver? (Not much a tree climber either.) Keef was busted for
reckless driving on July 5, 1975 in the state of Arkansas. Now AP reports
that "The state Parole Board on July 3 approved an application for clemency
submitted on behalf of Richards, the 62-year-old guitarist for the Rolling
Stones, by Gov. Mike Huckabee."
Keef plead guilty to the reckless driving
charge 31 years ago and paid a fine but according to AP, "The governor
said he got the idea for a pardon when he realized that Richards' impression
of Arkansas 'was marred by a misdemeanor traffic stop.'"
