Fuse’s “Rock Madness” Challenge:
I have no idea what Awards show this is, but damn its funny to see Keith Moon of The Who prance around on stage and accept the award for The Beatles. Enjoy:
For Academy Award nominated actor Danny Aiello’s second CD he was inspired by Atlantic City, Sinatras old stomping ground. It was the place where old blue eyes performed his final public
US concert while Danny Aiello watched from the audience. “My wife Sandy and I got a call from my agent inviting us down to
Atlantic City to see the show and meet Frank. I loved Sinatra and jumped at the chance not knowing what to expect. He was everything and more and the Copa Room, well, it was the perfect setting.”
Ten years later Aiello recorded his debut CD. Five days after the release, Danny Aiello made his Billboard Chart debut! His first album I Just Wanted To Hear The Words hit the Billboard Traditional Jazz Chart at #4, the highest new entry that week, just behind Harry Connick Jr., Winton Marsalis and Diana Krall.
And so it is fitting when a friend suggests in 2005 that he record one of those Atlantic City shows, preferably from The Sands so he and his band could preserve a little history for themselves, Aiello agrees, “Given Sinatra’s history on that stage and my memories of seeing him there, the Sands really captured the spirit of the resort’s history among the excitement of a new Atlantic City. For me, it made perfect sense.”

With his smooth and charming voice, and well-crafted music, singer/performer Michael Bubble has won over females of all ages and backgrounds - preteens, young wives and even the elderly.
Yet Bubble admits that despite the great amount of success he has achieved, he is trying to compensate for his insecurity when he is off-stage by setting his goals higher - he wants to be the biggest and best entertainer in the world.
“ VANCOUVER - Superstar crooner Michael Bubble says he wants to be the greatest entertainer on Earth and that he also has acting aspirations. But off stage, Bubble confided he’s not quite as confident. “I’m still shy and nervous and insecure,” he told The Canadian Press in an interview Thursday. He had just announced his Canadian tour dates Thursday surrounded by the luxury of billionaire Jimmy Pattison’s yacht.
“I keep wondering when it’ll happen, and I don’t mean on stage because on stage I’m great but in my life, I keep wondering when I’ll walk into a room and not hunch and for when I won’t be insecure and for when I won’t be too loud to overcompensate for my insecurities,” he said.
“I don’t know, it’s weird,” Bubble said.
“I look in the mirror and no matter what, I still see the 14-year-old kid. Maybe it’s part of why people have been attracted to me as a performer. God gave me a real gift and that was to turn off the self -conscious switch on stage and honestly, I could be naked up there.”
Bubble, 32, said people are shocked when they see his off-stage personality and that even his girlfriend, actress Emily Blunt, couldn’t believe the difference in his demeanour.”
Is he still as charming to you, ladies? Leave a comment with your opinion and view on this.
