Your Monday Morning Headlines

Thanksgiving is just a few days away, so it’s going to be a short work week. Here are your music news headlines…

Motley Crue is being sued by the Raskins, an opening act from their 2014 tour. The Raskins are asking for $30 million dollars in punitive and emotional damage. The crux of the suit describes the Raskins not getting the money they initially negotiated, being unable to sell tour merchandise, and being sprayed with urine at one of their tour stops.

The Grateful Dead is celebrating their 50th anniversary by releasing ‘The Grateful Dead: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition’ in early 2017, the first of a reissue series of LPs.

Bob Dylan will not be attending the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies held December 10th. Bob was mum after hearing that he had received the coveted Nobel Peace prize, so it’s not a surprise that he will also skip the awards event.

Birthdays this week include Motown founder Berry Gordy, John Mayall, Billy Idol, Ozzy Osbourne, Michael McDonald, Jim Messina, and Little Richard.
