The Savoy Hotel in London played host to the 1970 Melody Maker Poll Awards, where Led Zeppelin displaced the Beatles in the most popular group category. (The first time the Beatles had not been ranked #1 in eight years). Robert Plant was also voted best male vocalist.
John Bonham and Robert Plant make a rare appearance on TV, interviewed for BBC's Nationwide.
Melody Maker stopped publication in December, 2000 after seventy-three years.
The Ford Motor Company becomes the first auto maker to offer an 8-track tape player as an option in their Mustang, Thunderbird and Lincoln models. Tapes were initially only available at auto parts stores, as home 8-track equipment was still a year away. The format's popularity declined in the 1980s, although Cheap Trick's "The Latest" was issued on 8-track in 2009, as was Dolly Parton's "A Holly Dolly Christmas" in 2020.
Saw it for the first time in person yesterday and I can confidently say….
It’s even uglier in person!
I’m just shocked that the NYPD didn’t kill 50% of the people arrested. Most useless bunch of assholes on planet earth.
I say this as a NY’er and as a person whose personal experiences with them have taught me that they’re absolute trash
In America, if a corner exists a company will cut it.
Approval ratings mean nothing to lifetime appointments. Nobody should hold a position forever. If they wanna keep them there for life, then at least make them subject to review every X years
During covid my former company made record profits 2 years in a row; nearly doubling their annual profits. I had an open position on my team and had to hire a new employee. I got to pick the candidate and HR handled their offer and compensation package. The amount of disrespect they showed in their offers made me lose a lot of good candidates and in the end the person that was hired left after a few months when we were “reorganized” and he was going to be moved and dropped from L3 support down to L1 and his salary was going to be cut in half. I wrote letters of recommendation for all my team members and I'm happy to say all of us left for greener pastures. At one point I was even told my most senior employee couldn’t earn more than me despite his years of tenure and complication of his role. I had no issue with it but it apparently was against “company policy”
Fuck greedy companies!
I want stricter enforcement on anyone with power, not less. If you have the power to create and/or enforce the laws of the nation you should be held at a higher standard to uphold them.
Buying Twitter was never about him making money. It was about giving shithead, likeminded assholes, like him, a place to openly spew their vitriol hate speech without fear of bans or repercussions.
Delete your account if you have one; don’t share links to his site and FFS let’s stop allowing hatred to have an open forum or a place within proper society.
He’s not carrying water for the facists, he IS a fascist and they’re trying to spill that water on everyone in an attempt to undermine people’s freedoms. Fuck him and fuck his kind
There are some bizarre and pointless laws in this country.
Please, please do that. I can’t wait to see the discovery portion of the trial
Social media has been out of ideas since we got video chat. The fact is people want a free place on the internet to share interests with other people and communicate with them. Every company tries to figure out how to monetize it.
So of course they’re out of ideas, they never had them in the first place. Capitalism cannot drive progress
Who wrote that article? That movie was never the most successful R rated movie. In 2003 Matrix Reloaded was released and made over $700m and in the time since it was released 8 other movies have made more money than it, with Joker & D&W both making over a billion dollars.
