    huh?

    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      Never heard of him. But I've never heard of most rappers as rap isn't really my cup of tea.

            Yeah, there is a NYT podcast about NIKOLA and they interviewed the Hindenburg guy. He's doing God's work.

              You should check out the six part WSJ podcast. It is great. Bad Bets series.

                That's the one I listened too. Really interesting and well done.
                Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                  Doh, it was WSJ, not NYT. I binge-listened to about 4 of those episodes.

                  Bed Bets also did Enron. That was fascinating as well.

                    so my son just got home from work and brought this up. my son is a huge rap fan and says this guy is big time - says he's one of the most extreme rappers out there in terms of vulgarity, violence, etc in his rapping and very popular. he mentioned that apparently he's planning to join the church and stop rapping all together. complete change of heart. i mean, we'll see how long this all lasts and if he goes through with it, but evidently that is the plan for now.

                      Seems pretty good... The Memphis Grizzles like him:
                      YoungBoy was the third most-streamed artist in the United States last year (according to Luminate), behind Drake and Taylor Swift, and currently sits at No. 1 on YouTube’s Top Artists page, where he has charted for the last 309 weeks. After deducting a presumed 10% management fee, Billboard estimates YoungBoy’s take-home pay from artist and publishing streaming royalties averaged between $8.7 million and $13.4 million annually over the last three years, depending on the structure of his publishing contract and level of artist royalty his recording contract pays out. The NBA’s coolest young team, the Memphis Grizzlies, warms up to his music almost exclusively.
                      YoungBoy Never Broke Again finished behind only Drake and Taylor Swift in streams last year. Now, he's opening up on his house arrest and rebirth.


                      Loved this part...
                      The first time the Mormon missionaries appeared on his doorstep, weeks ago, YoungBoy instinctively sent them away. Then he had second thoughts: “I wanted help very badly. I needed a friend. And it hit me.”
                      When they returned, he invited them in, explaining the things about himself he was desperate to change. “It was just cool to see someone with a different mindset that had nothing to do with business or money — just these wonderful souls,” he recounts. He has come to look forward to their daily visits, during which they discuss the Book of Mormon and “make sure my heart is in the right space” for his official baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter-day Saints, a rite that forgives past sins through repentance, according to Mormon theology. He’s saving the ceremony for after his ankle monitor is removed.
                      Set NBA YoungBoy free!

                            No, that is definitely not church headquarters.

                              Maybe Gladys Knight. I don't see much about her anymore, at first it seemed the church really put her out there, I wonder if she tired of it.

                                I think it's more like she's not that big a deal anymore. Sorta like the Osmonds.
