But even before Motley Crue broke ground in 1981, bassist Nikki Sixx swiped his name directly from another member of the Sunset Strip music scene. Sixx, born Frank Feranna Jr. in 1958, fled his adolescent home of Jerome, Idaho, at the age of 17, and took a Greyhound bus to Los Angeles to pursue a music career. Prior to forming Motley Crue, he played in a band called London, which he...

So, the G-7 leaders are in agreement, more war with Russia. Without actually saying exactly that, that was the main takeaway from he meeting of the most feckless leaders in the world. They also pledged $600 billion they don’t have to fund global infrastructure projects to ‘combat China’s Belt and Road Initiative.’ One wonders where all this money and, in the case of Europe, energy is going to come from to fund all of this. But the question I’ve had from the beginning of this obvious war of attrition the West wants to impose on Russia is the following: Do...
