Why Dee Snider Had ‘Trepidation’ in Twisted Sister’s Early Days

Twisted Sister was one of the first 18+ shows I ever saw. It was 1978 or 79 I guess, so I was 16 or 17 at the time, back when IDs were paper and had no photos. Twisted Sister had played Glen Island Casino in New Rochelle, NY before, and been banned from playing there. But…for some reason, the club rescinded the ban and let them play the show. Zebra opened for them I think…though that might’ve been a different show I got really wasted at. Who knows?
Anyway, long story short…I got really wasted and Twisted Sister rocked the bar…and got banned again, (this time I think forever) and then went on to become a household name instead of a NY Area metal band that got kicked out of almost everyplace they played.
Fuck the critics and censors. Live your own music.https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fultimateclassicrock.com%2Fdee-snider-interview-2020%2F&h=AT2KRdvf5g_zZUXpwIvdt2DWlE0N_M6d88jxKhIgQtrbidbcSkWn_eDoycK00iY9JmUfVtD0BADuS2NBBJoMxPYPXD-UXSd9uGXRqZ3L0n6_leT175R780AOOy4qLw&s=1

Trump claims environmental progress, but he’s weakened rules

ABC News: Trump claims environmental progress, but he’s weakened rules.

Keep in mind that, to Trump, “The Environment” is something that should be exploited, in order to maximize profits for himself or his friends who run the oil, gas, coal and mining corporations. When he leaves office, they will owe him bigly, and he WILL try to collect.
So in HIS mind, he HAS made progress. ~jg

Trump again targets Fox: ‘They totally forgot who got them where there are’

#FoxNews is NOT News and should be banned from calling itself “News”.
OR… they COULD try standing up to Trump’s bullying and embrace actual journalism.
Time to choose.

Portland protesters are finding new ways to stand up to federal agents

“We came out here dressed in T-shirts and twirling Hula-Hoops and stuff, and they started gassing us, so we came back with respirators, and they started shooting us, so we came back with vests, and they started aiming for the head, so we started wearing helmets, and now they call us terrorists,” Mac Smiff, a local Black organizer in Portland, said. “Who’s escalating this? It’s not us.”
