Media Fury Radio is a popular internet radio show based out of the San Francisco Bay area. The show airs every Monday night and is hosted by celebrity consultant Valerie Denise Jones. On this week’s episode of Media Fury, host Valerie Denise Jones and co-host Omar Tyree welcomed special guest Nona Brown. Nona Brown is a professional songstress and former group member of gospel music legend Edwin Hawkins and the New Edwin Hawkins Singers. A native of the San Francisco Bay area, her passion for music lead to a celebrated career which spans over 30 years. Stay tuned: Nona Brown will receive the BMA “PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD” during the 15th annual Bay Area Black Music Awards set for Saturday, November 17, 2018, inside the luxurious Richmond Auditorium.
Speaking of Nona’s music career during the first segment of the show several areas of interest were discussed. Specifically, her featured song “Woman Phenomenal” which haphazardly was inspired by Mya Angelou’s poem “Phenomenal Woman”. The most heartfelt moment to me is when she almost brought the host to tears. A snippet of her YouTube video was aired, which detailed her diagnosis of breast cancer. As a 3-year cancer survivor, Nona tells how her music career was going extremely well, being on the red carpet at the Grammy’s. She was also approaching the end of her term as VP of The Recording Academy SF Chapter.
The second segment of the show introduced Victoria Griffin Outreach Coordinator of the Sisters Network Detroit, Michigan chapter. Victoria Griffin is also a 3-year breast cancer survivor. As another highlight of the show, the son of legendary Robert (Kool) Bell of Kool & the Gang, DJ Prince Hakim Bell joined the conversation. DJ Price Hakim produced a tribute song for cancer survivors. His song “Royalty” is a song of celebration and hope, which pays homage not just to survivors, but women of all walks.

WWE TLC - No Tables No Ladders No Chairs?

TLC Highlights  The WWE paper view definitely lived up to the hype, well i guess. The paper view itself was great. Every match on the card was exciting, entertaining but there was just one problem, no tables no ladders no chairs. To call itself a TLC paper view the only match that used anything of the sort was the main event. The rest of the nights card featured traditional matches in traditional style. As mentioned earlier over all the matches were great but if your going to call it a TLC paper view actually have matches involved with tables, ladders and chairs.  Asuka vs. Emma  Winner - Asuka  Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs. Gentleman Jack Gallagher & The Brian Kendrick Winners - Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann  Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James Winner - Alexa Bliss WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore Winner - Enzo Amore  Finn Bálor vs. AJ Styles Winner - Finn Balor  ...

Interview with The Forgotten 45's

1)  Where are we talking from today? A. At rehearsal, in a windstorm without power in Olympia, Washington trying to type by candlelight. 2)  How did you get involved in music? A. We are a team of 5 summoned by lord Zordon. Nolan (singer) Nolan's parents both had an appreciation for music and had him singing before he could properly form sentences. Introducing to him the music of the Beatles, Beach Boys, and Michael Jackson. Not much has changed, including his ability to properly form sentences or lack thereof. Cos (bassist) Cos's father was a strong influence in his musical career. Starting at age 7, he taught him how to play guitar, and encouraged him to play in the school jazz band from middle school through high school. At age 16, he got Cos a job playing bass at a local church. Cos met Michael during his freshman year at St. Martin's University, and that summer the band known as String Theory was formed, which has slowly transformed into The Forgotten 45...

13 Questions With J Curly Speegle

1. Where are we talking from today?      A. I'm in Nashville, TN 2. Where did you get your artist name from? A. I was the lead guitarist for Rock & Roll Hall of fame Leon Russell from 2005 to 2007.  When I joined the band I had long curly hair.  Leon mentioned to me after a couple of gigs that he thought that  "I ought to have a power name".  Hence that day, I became J. "Curly" Speegle...  He was big on that sort of thing.  His real name was Claude Russell Bridges, so it kinda made sense. 3. Music wise, what are you working on right now? A. I'm actually on a hiatus at the moment.  I started touring at 19 or 20 and stayed there for a lot of years, so I'm just enjoying a little downtime... 4. Who or what were the most significant influences on your musical life and career? A. Well, Leon Russell obviously.  But there are a lot more that are pretty significant as well.  There is a gentleman by the name of Owen...
