Meek Mill Deemed 'Danger To The Community' Denied Bail Request

(Radio.com) Meek Mill's most recent bail request has been denied. NBC Philadelphia reports that Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley denied the request because she believes the rapper is a "danger to the community" and a flight risk.

"The defendant is not entitled to this sort of special treatment simply due to his 'celebrity status,'" Brinkley wrote in her opinion, which was written on Friday (Dec. 1) and released Monday (Dec. 4).

"As stated on multiple occasions, he has never missed a previous court date in this case and poses absolutely no threat to the community, which makes him an ideal candidate for bail - a conclusion the Commonwealth did not oppose," Mill's attorney Joe Tacopina explained in a statement.

"We intend to immediately appeal this decision, so Mr. Williams can be released from prison on bail while we continue to work to overturn this wrongful and unjust." Read more here.

Country Music Grammy Awards Snub In Major Categories

(Gibson) It's only an awards show, but there's plenty to talk about with the 2018 Grammy nominations. Away from the rock and metal nominations, the lists of Country/Americana/Blues nominations has raised some eyebrows-as has the treatment of those genres' artists.
Most notably, among the four all-genre categories that get the lion's share of Grammy attention, there is not one country or Americana-based artist or record. Maybe it's been a poor year - sales and most critics say otherwise, though - but you have to go back to 1994 to find a year where no country act got a top nod. You could spin that fact all ways, though: due to hip-hop R&B's dominance in the main categories, rock doesn't get a look-in either in those top Record, Artist, Album et al categories either.

Still, with so many categories, the Grammys is the sort of show where nearly everyone's a winner, right? Many observers think the Rolling Stones already have the Traditional Blues award sewn up because, well, they're the Rolling Stones, right, and this could indeed be the last time. And Gregg Allman's Southern Blood looks a favorite in Americana: but not just because the legend died this year, it also happens to be an absolutely superb album. Jason Isbell has a strong showing too and the still remarkable Derek Trucks once again gets a nod in Contemporary Blues. here.
