The Scoop for May 1st, 2020

Eddie Vedder is getting in on the All In Challenge. He’s going to let a winner come out to a Pearl Jam show early, hang out during sound check, maybe add a song or two to the set list, and even let you hang out on the side of the stage. And he also has a little something extra planned.
He’s going to get the crowd to sing Happy Birthday to you.
Don’t get me wrong, that sounds kind of fun. But it sort of feels like you’re just job shadowing Eddie for the day. Which, I guess would be cool.


Madonna just found out some interesting coronavirus news.
She’s got the anti-bodies.
Which means she had the virus and didn’t show any symptoms, at least I’m pretty sure that’s what that means. So what is she going to do with this new information?
She’s going to go for a drive and, quote, “breathe in the COVID-19 air”
I mean, I think you already did that. And also, do they keep the Covid-19 air in a certain place? Do those anti-bodies she has let her see the virus in the air? I think maybe Madonna has been in isolation a bit too long.


So it looks like Weird Al is going to be making an appearance on the Reno 911! revival. And he’ll be playing Ted Nugent.
Reno 911! is coming back on that new streaming service, Quibi. Because who couldn’t use one more streaming service? But honestly, I’m glad that show is back. So fun.


Bonus Scoopage:

QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT have released a video for “You Are the Champions” as a tribute to healthcare workers on the front lines.
