When 1989’s Road to Hell did well, his US record label thought he could be a huge star in America if he put the hours touring or appeared on MTV Unplugged; Chris Rea declined both. He didn't have much time for other rock stars, claiming the only one who didn’t disappoint him was David Gilmour.
Despite his knack for slick pop, the principled and passionate Chris Rea never took the easy road
The late musician bristled against his record companies, his producers and fame itself – but that friction ignited both his AOR hits and his raw, spirited take on the blues

It’s no longer about if he’s in the Epstein files but how many crimes he committed.

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Let’s be clear: the Brown shooter wasn’t trans, wasn’t hunting Jews or conservatives, and it certainly wasn’t the Muslim Palestinian student Brown briefly erased from its site. Those were conspiracies, boosted by prominent right-wing accounts, and they caused real harm.

✈️😍 SBU, using Alpha drones, hit two Russian Su-27 fighter jets at the Belbek airfield in Crimea, one of them was destroyed on the taxiway with full ammunition.
❗️The estimated cost about $70 million, and the control tower was also damaged, which will complicate the operation of the airfield.

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.
1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.
