Now the 1st rule in this blog was to filter out the underreported from the overreported so I go to the basic sights like:
Yahoo News Entertainment section: I very good to a point but they have all the news away from the big screen or the TV Tube I very O.K, you find good story here and there
since most of the stuff on the top of the Blog is local and up to date I do check the news sight of the local newspapers in town.
Like The Detroit News, and the Detroit Free Press it have today paper on-line but also have a breaking News Section in the the front of both web sight, But I like the Free Press a little more better because it put the update info in a box so you see what going on before you see it on the 5 PM News and from time to time it will have a breaking culture News Story.
Not to knock on the News it do put the breaking news on top of the sight but it look like the rest of to day paper.

Ska and reggae pioneer Desmond Dekker died Wednesday, May 24 of a heart attack at his home in Surrey, England. Dekker, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica, had a string of hits both in his home country and in the UK. His most well known singles included "Israelites," "Rudie Got Soul" and "007 (Shanty Town)." Many of his songs were about rudeboy culture, glamorizing the lifestyle for the growing mod subculture in 1960s England. Dekker is credited for bringing world attention to Jamaica's ska and reggae movements, as well as paving the way for artists like Bob Marley. Dekker continued to record into the '70s, though the singer declared bankruptsy in the '80s when Two Tone ska fans dwindled. A re-release of "Israelites" and a full touring schedule up until his death kept Dekker busy. (cmj.com)
and
Ian Copeland, a rock music agent and entrepreneur who represented The Police, R.E.M., Adam Ant, The Go-GoÂ’s and other seminal rock groups that emerged in the 1970s and 1980Â’s New Wave and punk scenes, has died. He was 57.
Copeland died Tuesday of melanoma, said Amy Grey, a family spokeswoman.
Copeland was one of three brothers in the family who became prominent figures in the music industry. Younger brother Stewart was the drummer for The Police. Older sibling Miles founded record label International Records Syndicate.
In the mid-1970s, Copeland moved to Macon, Ga., where he worked for an agency booking tours for several Southern rock groups, including Charlie Daniels, Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band.
Word of LondonÂ’s emerging punk rock scene excited Copeland, who sought to get the agency he was working for to bring the raw new British bands to U.S. venues.
It didnÂ’t work. But when his brother Miles signed the British band Squeeze, the two siblings arranged for the band to tour small clubs in the U.S. They used the same strategy to promote other bands, including The Police and the B-52s.
They will both be miss by all
