✖ Taylor Hawkins, the musician best known for his tenure as the drummer of the Foo Fighters, has passed away at the age of 50. The new was announced in a social media post from the band on Friday night, which confirmed"the tragic and untimely loss" of Hawkins, and asked for fans to provide"the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time" to Hawkins' wife, children, and family.
Over the years, Hawkins co-wrote every album with the band since 1999's There Is Nothing Left to Lose, and also played piano, guitar, and sang on several songs and covers. He would go on to form a side project titled Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, which released three albums between 2006 and 2019, as well as The Birds of Satan, which released a self-titled album in 2014. He also release a solo EP called Kota in 2016.
"There's something in me that has to get this out of my system," Hawkins explained in a 2019 interview with MusicWeek."I have to write songs, I have to make records. I guarantee you, if for some crazy reason Kurt Cobain wouldn't have died so early and Nirvana was still a band now, Dave would still be doing the same thing. There would be a Foo Fighters, it wouldn't be as popular because he'd be busy in Nirvana all the time, but he has to do it.
Outside of the Foo Fighters, Hawkins worked on the Coheed and Cambria album Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow, as well as Slash's 2010 eponymous solo album. He also portrayed Iggy Pop in the 2013 rock biopic CBGB.Our thoughts are with Hawkins' family, friends, and fans at this time.
🥲
I've been waiting for this to happen
Prayers to his family

Lawsuit seeks to block 'insurrectionist' Marjorie Taylor Greene from reelection bidA group of Georgia voters on Thursday asked state officials to block Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for reelection, alleging she is unfit for office because of her support of rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol. In a legal challenge filed with the Georgia Secretary of State, the voters claim Greene has violated a provision of the U.S. Constitution known as the 'Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause.' The clause, passed after the 19th Century U.S. Civil War, prohibits politicians from running for Congress if they have engaged in 'insurrection or rebellion' against the United States, or 'given aid or comfort' to the nation's enemies. You mean a group of Globalists from GA? How many EXACTLY were there?

Can Anyone Unseat Marjorie Taylor Greene?A lawsuit filed today contends that Marjorie Taylor Greene is ineligible to run for Congress again, citing a clause of the 14th Amendment that prohibits those who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office. Thank goddess. Good riddance. I don’t want to see, hear or think about her again. What a joke. How bad is Merrick Garland? Why do we even need to talk about this? Marcus Flowers is going to unseat Margie-3-names.
