Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Who asked your opinion and since when as it become relevant?

Go listen to Rocket Man. Please, do that.

This is an individual well known for being a diva, in the bad sense of the expression. He once cancelled a show in my country, with a fully sold out venue, at 250€ a seat, because - grab your seats! - he demand a "masseusse" and the venue was unable to provide a profissional willing to provide the service.

His penchant for heavy drinking is also a well known issue and I have a somewhat hazy memory of reading somewhere he was once a cocaine user. ~~Hoover~~ Vacuum cleaner level. Industrial force.

So... who died and made his opinion relevant?

When you say Hoover do you mean the vacuum cleaner or the US president?

I am not aware if Pres. Hoover had a nose candy penchant.

He was president of the united states in the 1920s. If he didn't do blow like Nixon did shots I'd be amazed. Actually I don't think Nixon wasted time pouring such small doses of liquor
