Crappy band removes guitarist from photo when he can no longer perform due to healh reasons

My wife used to like Motley Crue so when I found cheap tickets to their farewell tour about 8 years ago we went along. What a clusterfuck it was. A bunch of fat old men trying to relive their glory years from 30 years earlier. Vince could barely catch a breath while he walked around the stage.

The truly funny bit was that the support act was Alice Cooper and his show was amazing as always.

Recently some colleagues mentioned wanting to see Motley Crue when they tour soon and I told them not to.

Go figure.

Basically they're scared and intimidated. Here is a person who is beautiful and intelligent and has made something of herself and that highlights their own inabilities.

I think sexism is only part of the problem, they'd have a similar response to a male model who had a successful tech career.

TIL - J and J knew for decades that asbestos lurked in its Baby Powder and failed to disclose it to regulators or the public.

Americans wouldn't know about it, but Ribena is a popular (blackcurrant) fruit drink in much of the world, produced by GlaxoSmithKline. For decades they advertised how it was high in vitamin C, until in 2007 some school kids in New Zealand were doing a project to show how it was healthier than cheaper brands, when they found out that it contained no vitamin C.
