Kurt Cobain was ahead of his times. He always wanted more female artists to be in the limelight. We are seeing it more in the last decade but we still have a long way to go. #kurtcobain #musicnews #nirvana rockoracle.com/kurts-kuotes/

Remembering the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. Today would’ve been his 53 birthday. Glad I got to watch him play. He hit that kit with pure joy. I even got to see him sing ‘Somebody to Love’ by Queen when he & Dave Grohl switched places in Seattle #taylorhawkins youtu.be/pM76tMXRvb8?...

Music exec Jeff Rabhan has branded Chappell "disingenuous" because she's profiting from the industry she's calling out. Via Instagram, the US singer says she's donated $25,000 to support struggling artists and encouraged Jeff to match her donation. #ChappellRoan rockoracle.com/chappell-roa...
