Pat Benatar Will No Longer Perform One Of Her Most Popular Songs - "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"

On November 5th at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, Pat Benatar will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

During a recent interview with Melissa Ruggieri of USA Today, Benatar revealed that she is no longer playing one of her most popular songs at her concerts, an excerpt follows:

USA Today: You’ve been singing those big vocal songs including “Heartbreaker” on this tour. You’ve also been playing (The Beatles’) “Helter Skelter”. Why that song?

Benatar: "Because I want to have some (expletive) fun! We’re doing a lot of songs we don’t always play like 'In The Heat Of The Night' and 'I Need A Lover'. We have what we call the 'Holy 14,' songs that if we don’t play them, you’ll give us (a hard time). And we’re not doing 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot' and fans are having a heart attack and I’m like, I’m sorry, in deference to the victims of the families of these mass shootings, I’m not singing it. I tell them, if you want to hear the song, go home and listen to it. (The title) is tongue-in-cheek, but you have to draw the line. I can’t say those words out loud with a smile on my face, I just can’t. I’m not going to go on stage and soapbox – I go to my legislators – but that’s my small contribution to protesting. I’m not going to sing it. Tough."

By The Next Hearing, Liz Cheney Will Be A Lame Duck Congressional Representative

Whatever you want to say about her politics, and believe me, I'd like to say A Lot, she sacrificed her career to do the right thing this one time.

I can't imagine how she'll feel, if no consequences result from this committee, but I feel confident she won't regret the choice she made.

Source: ABC News

Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of former President Donald Trump, has died at age 73, the family told ABC News.

"Our mother was an incredible woman -- a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend," the Trump family said in a statement.

"Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination," the family said. "She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren."

Ivana Trump was Donald Trump's first wife. They had three children together: Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump.

We Can't Face The REALITY Of What HORRORS Happened To Those MURDERED In Uvalde

We can't see images of the Carnage inflicted on their bodies. Both the Murdered and those who survived.

And we are unable to be exposed to the SOUNDS of what was going on inside those classrooms, which the cowardly "police officers" were able to hear in Real Time! Audio of those sounds must be edited, for our own well being. Yeah, right.

The Police Officers, the School Police Chief, the Mayor, and every last repub NRA Suck Up Senator & Congressperson, should be locked in a Fucking room, and forced to listen to the uncensored audio, and see images of the aftermath.

I know none of them will face a single consequence, so at the very least, they should be tormented, however briefly in their miserable lives, with what their policies and beliefs have wrought.

Gas Prices Have Dropped For 26 Consecutive Days Here In Southern California - Thank You Joe!!

I'm confident that All of those who have been blaming President Biden for the gas prices going up this year, will at least give him some credit since they have been declining for almost a month now.

Just kidding.

P.S. I know the President has little control over the price of oil. I'm intelligent like that.
