“Whatever man…Call Me!”

On Monday, Floyd Mayweather (40-0) released a statement through his publicist expressing concern that pound-for-pound and world welterweight champion Pacquiao hasn’t been more aggressive in pushing for a showdown that could be the most lucrative event in the sport’s history.

The release said Mayweather listened to several comments made by Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum, and trainer, Freddie Roach, but “still has yet to hear Manny Pacquiao himself say he wants to fight him.” (more…)

Goodness gracious you sometimes forget how good a guitar player this dude is.  His stage presence is unbelievable, you don’t even see the little guy in his red hat until about halfway through and then he proceeds to take over. Notice the clip, among the players there is one of the greatest producers/writers/musicians/guitarist of all time in Jeff Lynne, some kid, and oh by the way a guy by the name of Tom Petty. They saw that he was in the zone, he got his solo time to shine, and with all due respect, Prince D-E-S-T-R-O-Y-S them. Love the way he ends his set too, throw the guitar in the air with the ‘whoever wants it’ attitude and then walking off stage right, opposite where everyone else goes. I’ve watched this clip like 10x today.

Dudes make you want to pick up your guitar and play until your fingers bleed but at the same time think, why even bother because there is no chance that you will make it sound like THAT. This is why he can charge whatever he wants for tickets.

First Zidane was spotted at the Y-3 fashion show in New York, then Complex gives him the “how to dress like” treatment.  So I figured I would get in on the action with a compilation of the maestro. Dude was the total package…and, not only was he one of the illest players of all times, he also had this super international man of mystery thing about him. Complex called him “equal parts James Bond and Russian general,” and I kind of agree with them on that.
