Henley, the Grammy-winning co-founder of one of the most successful bands in rock history, is prosecutors’ star witness in an unusual criminal trial surrounding the lyrics sheets.

While asset prices shot up in 2020 and 2021, they pulled back substantially in 2022. Meanwhile, inflation remains near 40-year highs and the Fed has to raise interest rates aggressively to bring price levels under control. “We printed up too much money, and… Source link

Video review came to soccer promising to overturn clear and obvious errors. It was a safety net for referees, and that, we were told, was the extent of its domain. Video assistants would not re-referee the game; VAR was, in theory, a new-age mechanism to undo controversy and better the sport. But half a decade later, as West Ham furiously alleged on Saturday, it is not doing any of that. Or, rather, it is doing far too much. VAR’s biggest fault has been overstepping its bounds, as it did at… Source link

Al Horford thanked God, because in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, he was touched. Two years after he left the Boston Celtics in free agency, Horford’s former team gave him another chance, reacquiring a contract the Philadelphia 76ers and Oklahoma City Thunder had written off in the meantime. The 15-year veteran paid off every cent with a playoff career-high 30 points that saved the Celtics’ season and gave him one more title shot with a team he led to back-to-back conference… Source link

Before Pixel superfans decide to launch angry hot and bothered Tweets, I think by the time you hear my points you’ll agree with me 100 percent.
