In 2022, Ohio police officers raided the home of rapper Afroman, best known for his 2000 hit "Because I Got High." They smashed down his door, guns drawn, and seized more than $5,000 in cash and property. No wrongdoing was uncovered, no charges were filed and the money was later returned. Afterwards, Afroman used home surveillance camera footage to make music videos and social media posts mocking the officers. Seven of them sued him for "emotional distress," but at a trial this week in Adams County, Afroman cited his First Amendment right to free speech. He also pointed out that none of this would have happened without the failed raid. "All of this is their fault, and they have the audacity to sue me," he said. After a few hours of deliberation, Afroman was cleared. Here's more about what happened, courtesy of @Billboard.https://flip.it/jpFnYC#Music #Celebrity #USLaw #Afroman #FreedomOfSpeech

It’s time for the #thursdayfivelist and today’s theme is ‘Father.’ Things are gonna get weird here. Buckle in. The ‘80s were a weird time. 1. Starting with an old classic that reminds me of my own Pappy whom I lost to poor health when I was young. Dan Fogelberg, “Leader of the Band” (1981) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KwLbdPIOOkM&list=RDKwLbdPIOOkM&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB2. Next is a song most of you probably never heard before because you’re too young. When this song came out about teen pregnancy, some Christian-owned radio stations actually refused to play it. Madonna, “Papa Don’t Preach” (1986) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G333Is7VPOg&pp=0gcJCZoBo7VqN5tD3. Despite the Christian Right’s campaign to squish Madonna’s controversial smash hit into oblivion, she rose to the top and stayed there. But Danny Aiello who played the father in Madonna’s video decided to sabotage his own career by making an ‘answer song.’ It is truly awful. Danny Aiello, “Papa Wants The Best For You (1986) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1xg11hwVs-M&pp=0gcJCcUKAYcqIYzv4. Now things get even weirder, but music was like that in the ‘80s. Here’s the incomparable George Michael of Wham! with “Father Figure” (1987). The PMRC did NOT like this song, either! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m_9hfHvQSNo5. My favorite on the list; was listening to this on my walk today, actually! A fun story about a dad in a modern-day dystopia and a creature in some Scottish loch…The Police, “Synchronicity II” (1983) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o5FPPoLqkCk#music #dads #fathers#HashtagGames

@Pauliinalievonen Joo, on vau, laulamisen linjan, tekstinkäsittelyn, koristelun, dynamiikan, läsnäolon ja ties minkä tasapaino ja koskettavuus nostavat ainakin minun ihoni kananlihalle… Laulaja oli alun peri alttoviulisti, muusikkous kuuluu. Ja äänessä on tosiaan jokin selittämätön elämän läsnäolo. Valitettavasti hän kuoli syöpään kesken kaiken, mutta onneksi nämä tallenteet ovat olemassa.

I always feel very grateful to have been able to see The Cure play live in the mid 90's, even though since I've always preferred 80's Cure musically. At the time, at 13, I only knew a handful of songs that had been singles, and 'Friday I'm In Love' had been their last big song. But the whole show had been such a mesmerizing experience. A part of me wishes we could all go back to this time. But another part of me realizes that we need to fight now, so that these times can come around again. When music, art, and culture mattered. Actual video from their set when I saw them, of the very beautiful song 'In between Days', which I doubt I would have really known at the time, but I recall dancing my little feet off too anyway. The Cure will always be one of my all time favorite bands.#music #thecure #90's #bettertimes

holy crap it's the 1 day reminder!NHAM in concert present: control.org manipulate 25 in '26Join us at 2100 UTC on Thursday 19th March at https://tv.theindiebeat.fm/ for a special themed live concert.I am performing my dark dance album manipulate in it's entirety for its 25th release anniversary. It was awesome reworking the material that sonically still kicks the llamas arse.It saddens me the dark and dystopian themes are only more pertinent in these horrific times. But we will stomp together in solidarity.Then of course synthpop cover bangers for the people. A few from my REPLICATE 1.0 album not previously performed live, and also a sneak preview debut.Everyone (who doesn't punch down) is welcome. Free for everyone to #joinin and free from corporate platforms!One of the greatest things about our digital neighbourhood music gatherings is the community vibes.You will have a great time just watching the intelligent, supportive, friendly and lovingly silly chat amongst rad folks, but do have a go saying ahoy. It's modded by our artist cousins. You might even enjoy the oontz too.The team at control freak studio have been flat tack for weeks building this new show.Doom Kitty, Engineer Dog, 3/4 roll of gaffer tape and me the human hope to see you on the virtual dancefloor. We have more show cues and technical tasks than 3 octopi could pull off. Probable joyous chaos.Will I spill my tea? Will I hit every cymbal? Will I lose my voice? Will chat coin 30 new collabs, band names, and memes?In a time where approximately everything sucks, join us for some cathartic beauty in the darkness.Let's do this. Crank it to eleven! I do hope your neighbours will love it.#music #art #fediMusic #fediArt #fediwave #concert #liveMusic #liveStreaming #industrial #synth #synthpop #goth #dystopian #danceMusic #hangout #owncast #drumming #np #streaming #electronicMusic #NHAM #tibtv #boostwelcome
