Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford ‘doubts’ the band will play live again

Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford shared that he ‘doubts’ that the legendary band will ever perform live again, saying in part that his and his bandmembers ages are becoming a “real factor”. Whitford made the comments during an appearance on Joe Bonamassa’s streaming interview series “Live From Nerdville” after Joe asked Brad about the band’s planned European tour.

Said Whitford: “The European tour, they tried to plan one last year, and they’re talking about next year. It’s a pipe dream right now. Nothing’s gonna happen for a long time. Sometimes I’m not sure what my partners are thinking when they think that’s gonna happen. There’s another interesting thing about going to Europe now because of Brexit, it’s so much harder to get work visas because of that. That’s gonna be a whole other nightmare. I mean, I have my doubts about Aerosmith ever really performing again at this stage, because age is becoming a real factor. And it is what it is.”

Mariah Carey and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation part ways after alleged argument

Mariah Carey is under new management, and has parted ways with Roc Nation after three and a half years. According to reports, Mariah quit JAY-Z’s management company after a “huge fight” between the stars about the future of Carey’s career, which reportedly led her to seek new management.

Sources say that Mariah and Jay-Z had an explosive meeting which did not go well; making it clear she wants nothing more to do with him and has called it quits with Roc Nation.  Carey, who signed with Roc Nation in November 2017, will formally depart in the next few weeks — however, the Roc Nation website no longer lists her among its clients. Under Roc Nation management, Carey released her 30th anniversary album The Rarities and published her best-selling memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey. Additionally, she signed a deal with Apple TV+‌ for her holiday special, “Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special.”

Carey is said to have already begun “talking to other managers and thinks she has found someone who she feels has full belief in her.”  She is also working on a new album and world tour.

Famed criminal defense attorney F. Lee Bailey dies at age 87

High-profile criminal defense attorney F. Lee Bailey, who represented O.J. Simpson at his trial in 1995, has died at age 87.  Bailey’s death was confirmed to The Associated Press by Peter Horstmann, who worked with Bailey as an associate in the same law office for seven years.

Bailey served as one of Simpson’s attorneys, which ended in his acquittal in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.  In tribute on his Twitter page, Simpson called Bailey, “a great friend,” and “one of the great lawyers of our time.  He was smart, sharp as ever.  F. Lee Bailey, maybe the best lawyer of our time, of this generation, but a great guy. God bless his family. God bless you, Lee. You will be missed by me.” 

Bailey’s legal career lasted more than four decades. In the 1960s, he secured a reversal of Dr. Sam Sheppard’s conviction in the murder of his pregnant wife and an acquittal at his second trial. He also represented Albert DeSalvo, who claimed to be the Boston Strangler, and Patricia Hearst. Bailey’s other high-profile clients included Capt. Ernest Medina, charged in connection with the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War.

President Biden offers tax concessions on infrastructure package with Republicans

President Joe Biden offered to narrow his $1.7 trillion infrastructure package in a concession to Republicans. Biden put forth a new $1 trillion proposal to Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., who is leading the Senate Republicans’ negotiations with Biden on the deal.

Biden initially proposed a $2 trillion package that included two parts — the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan — to focus on modernizing transportation infrastructure, including roads, bridges and airports. He also sought to boost the electric vehicle market, expand broadband Internet access, upgrade schools and affordable housing, increase job training, and care for elderly and disabled Americans.  He sought to pay for the package by raising the tax rates on corporations and wealthier Americans, however Republicans have countered with narrower proposals.

Biden’s new proposal is half what he originally sought to pass, but still includes nearly four times the new spending Republicans wanted in their own counteroffer. Capito and Biden were expected to speak again Friday.

No. 1 seed Ash Barty withdraws from French Open due to hip injury

No. 1 seed Ash Barty withdrew from her second-round match at the French Open on Thursday because of a left hip injury that had flared up during training. Barty trailed 1-6, 2-2 when she signaled that she couldn’t continue against Magda Linette on Court Philippe Chatrier. The 25-year-old Barty began the match with her left thigh bandaged, and it was immediately clear she could not move properly. Too slow to chase her opponent’s shots, she suffered in long rallies and struggled with her first serve.The 2019 champion called for a medical timeout at the end of the opening set, then briefly left the court for treatment. She stopped after Linette hit an ace. Barty then walked to the net to shake the 45th-ranked player’s hand.

Leading up to the 2021 French Open, Barty played 13 matches on clay, winning 11. She posted a record of 27-5 and won three singles titles before Roland Garros.  She withdrew from the quarterfinals in Rome in May because of an injury to her right arm, but said that injury had healed and did not hamper her in Paris.

Barty said: “It’s heartbreaking. We have had such a brilliant clay-court season, and to kind of get a little bit unlucky with timing, more than anything, to have something kind of acute happen over the weekend and just kind of run out of time against the clock is disappointing. We did everything, absolutely everything we could, to give myself a chance. It was a small miracle that we were able to get on court for that first round. Again, today it was no better and getting worse again.”
