  • B.B. King's Son Questions Sister's Poisoning Accusations At Manager

    You always hope that when a famous and very successful musician dies that there won't be any drama with the children. However this isn't always the case when there are big dollars and many parties involved. The passing of B.B. King has left a situation that seems to get messier by the day as his 15 kids and manager are fighting for control over his assets. Two of his daughters, Patty Elizabeth King and Karen Williams have accused B.B's long-time business manager LaVerne Toney, who had power of attorney and control of the blues legend's finances and medical care, of poisoning King.

  • Kid Cudi Outlines Funeral Plans, Wants Body Buried On The Moon

    Kid Cudi just gave a whole new meaning to man on the moon. The "Mr. Rager" rapper took to Twitter late last night to share a handwritten note outlining in remarkable detail his funeral arrangements, for when they arrive. It appears as though he has given the subject a fair amount of thought as he plans for two funerals - one for family and another for his fans - which could be disconcerting that a man his age is already thinking this much about death, or it could be seen as responsible life planning, like buying a Roth IRA or life insurance in your 20s. One of the more remarkable details is that Mr. Cudi wants to those who are caring for him in the afterlife, in his words to "send my body to space to be buried on the moon or send through a wormhole with all my music and my story on a jump drive, if possible."

    The Rolling Stones made every Ohio State Buckeye fan go nuts (pun intended) when the band performed "Hang On Sloopy" at Ohio Stadium in Columbus last night.

Several of these, like Ohio Stadium, also play host to NCAA football programs throughout the year, so Music Times decided to check out what the official songs of those programs are, just in case the Stones might think about busting them out during forthcoming live performances.
