When you are a famous band out travelling the world you expect to pick up some experiences and memories. But the last thing Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine expected to bring back from the road with him was worms.
No not the earthworm variety. Parasites. More accurately 51 types of parasite all over his body. He couldn’t believe it.
He blames staying in less-than clean hotel rooms and other hazards on tour. As well as being outgoing and affectionate towards fans – giving them hugs despite the many germs they may carry.
Oh the downfalls of being famous…

And to think I was actually worried for her when I first heard the news. Liza Minnelli passed out on stage during one of her concerts last week. And now, the Swedish media is reporting just what caused the shocker. And the cause really steals the thunder from her passing out.
The entertainer was said to be drunk and on painkillers when she passed out. It just goes to show that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Considering who her mother is and how she died, you would think that Liza knew better. But then again, it’s Liza Minnelli we’re talking about. Enough said.

We all know who Evel Knievel is….he’s the motorcycle riding stuntman we’ve all watched and loved over the years. Now, he’ll be riding his motorcycle up the heavenly highway.
According to his website, this legend is dead at the age of 69. He survived breaking every bone in his body at one time or another, but he finally lost the battle to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a terminal lung disease, on November 30. This comes after dealing with diabetes, hepatitis c, a liver transplant, and two strokes.
He will be remembered by millions of fans, as well as his wife, four children, fifteen grandchildren (with another on the way!), and other family members.
Knievel made headlines earlier this week when he sat down with Kanye West to discuss the lawsuit Knievel brought against Kanye for using his likeness in a video. The two settled the suit amicably.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Van Halen tour Blast from the Past just concluded with their LA concert. Many many fans showed up, old Van Halen fans and new fresh ones. I never thought the quite old rock band still had it in them.
Not only did they drew a magnificent crow, but also their performance exceeded expectations. Eddie’s revival is a phenomenon that goes well ahead of his toned body.
His performance brought up to present so much nostalgia for everyone present. He wearing his usual concert outfit, tearing up the stage in their usual matter, full of energy just like in 1978 when they debuted, was a marvel in itself.

71-year-old Charlie Daniels received an early Christmas present as he performed his annual Christmas for Kids benefit concert.
Martina McBride presented him with a gift-wrapped invitation to join the Grand Old Opry during the show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
Daniels told audience members, “I cannot even begin to tell you folks…this is very emotional for me. I never ever in my wildest dreams, when I came to Nashville with my precious wife and son, dreamed this would happen. To think that now my name will be added along with all these great country artists. Thank you.”
Daniels is well-known for his singing, guitar picking, and fiddling. His 1979 platinum single “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” was #1 on the country chart, #3 on the pop chart, and even won a Grammy.
Following the announcement, the curtains were pulled back to show the barn backdrop of the Grand Old Opry show. His formal induction will be later this winter.
The Opry was established in 1925 and is the longest continuously running radio show in the country. Country legends and current stars join together as a part of the show which airs on Friday and Saturday nights on WSM-AM.
