| Bono
Knighted |
Jam! reports: Irish rock star and global humanitarian
Bono became a knight of the British empire Thursday -- and joked that his
youngest son thought he was about to become a Jedi instead.
Bono, 46, was named a Knight Commander
of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in an informal, laugh-filled
ceremony in the Dublin home of British Ambassador David Reddaway.
"You have permission to call me anything
you want -- except sir, all right? Lord of lords, your demigodness, that'll
do," he told reporters afterward. Because he is an Irish citizen, Bono
won't have the title of "sir" before his name.[see full story for more]-

Dance Theater in Seattle, according to NME.com. The show is scheduled to
make its world premiere this weekend (Saturday, March 31 and Sunday, April

that would have made for different choices, I was just kind of drawn to
that."

Leon Finishing New CD |
Sleazeroxx.com reports: Some of you may not
recognize the name Greg Leon (www.gregleoninvasion.com), but you will know
the musicians he has played with. He formed Suite 19 with a young Tommy
Lee, toured with Dokken in their formative years, replaced Randy Rhoads
in Quiet Riot and then struck out on his own with the Greg Leon Invasion.
But the music industry can be unfair, and while Greg was battling with
record labels and even Vinnie Vincent, his former bandmates were reaching
platinum success. Greg hasn't let that get him down though and he is still
making music he believes in, the latest being the upcoming Tell The Children
CD.
SR: What are you doing musically these
days?
GL: Currently we're putting the finishing
touches on our newest Greg Leon Invasion CD. The album will be titled "Tell
The Children". "Tell The Children" is the closing song on the album and
has a very pre apocalyptic message. [see full story for the full interview
where he discusses replacing Randy Rhoads, kisses Tommy "Bandwagon" Lee's
ass and more]- Click
