Why Wait Til Tomorrow For What You Can Read Today? |
It's pretty simple but here is a little explanation on how it'll work. We'll post stories throughout the day at dayinrock.com so you won't have to wait until tomorrow to stay informed. The new stories will appear directly below the top 3 or 4 stories of the current day, so if you've already read today's report and want to see the new stories just scroll down a little and you'll find them.
They will also be linked in posted order on the antiMusic frontpage under "Latest Day in Rock Stories" (clever title huh?) as well as in our rss feed. One warning though once a report is finalized for the day, the new stories won't appear there. So you'll need to go to the main dayinrock page to get the latest. It's a hard link to figure out but you can click over it at top of the news listings on the antiMusic frontpage or bookmark

Hate Crime at Tupac Center |
The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation (TASF) regrets to report that a series of attacks have taken place at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts, 5616 Memorial Drive, Stone Mountain, Georgia. The first incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, October 20th, when vandals defaced the building as well as tying a noose around the neck of the bronze statue of Tupac Shakur located in the Center's Peace Garden. The attacks are being investigated as hate crimes by the De Kalb County Sheriff's Office. The second incident occurred at the Center at 2:00AM Monday morning when the statue was damaged further. A male has been arrested and is currently being held in custody.
The noose hung around the statue's neck is an imitation of other cases recently reported in the media after a surge of hate crimes. The statue was also plastered with handbills of garbled rants that include references to 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina as well as vague threats against various record companies and rappers. The manner of the attack indicates it is the work of one or more individuals.

He said: "Nas sucks. It's nonsense, man. That's a stupid name. It doesn't make sense. Why would you title it that?"

It's the title track on the album, first song we recorded for it. It means different things to me at different times.

Relationships, infatuation, your favorite video game

Danzig Falls of Stage |
And then during DANZIG's set, Glenn fell off the stage during 'How the Gods Kill' and I have a pic of him getting back onstage after the fall... Also, Glenn was in a bad mood after the fall � he cut the show short and he nixed the MISFITS set with Doyle and was yelling at Todd Youth [guitar] the rest of the night telling him to slow down his playing.
The story I was told from a security guard was that Glenn dislocated his shoulder, but I can't confirm that. However, he was hurt badly because he did not meet fans after the show... he ran directly to the bus and didn't come out. Randy from LAMB OF GOD and the singer from GOD FORBID were in attendance at the show as well."
