Rob Halford Judas Priest still hits the notes

Watching rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame HBO.

I would love to see a documentary or drama made of Rob Halford’s life. He must’ve dealt with some garbage over the years as a Gay heavy-metal icon.

About time JP made it in

Now we need Iron Maiden, Scorpions, and Ronnie James Dio

Glad to see Duran Duran make it too.

It was sad.
And, Warren Cuccorulo wasn't there, but the split was less than amicable. He was in the band for 16 or 17 years!
My complaint of their set was the backing vocals were almost inaudible.
The whole show had crappy audio.

...the JP episode of Breaking The Band. It's a Reelz series, but I'm not sure how else it's available.
Narrated by Dee Snider.
They cover aspects of Rob's dilemma.

while they all sang Jolene, and embraced her. I don't think Dolly knew who he was and I got the impression it kinda freaked her out, but she handled it well, and he was so gentle with her... it impressed me!

It was all rehearsed I am sure, but she was a bit careful with her body language.

It made me feel good to watch her, I am not a country music fan per se but I love Dolly!
