News about Muddy Waters

Snooki, a Jersey Shore star, only discovered this week that Pink slammed her nine months earlier in an Instagram post shaming Rolling Stone. Pink had denounced the magazine as "irrelevant," fuming that its "credibility went to s***" around the time when 'Snooki's acceptance gained widespread coverage.' Snooki, 35, caught wind of the dig only this Monday and wrote incredulously on Twitter: 'Omg i never saw this!Pink came for me?' The f***kkkkkkkk.'

Sister Rosetta Tharpe - nicknamed the 'Godmother of rock and roll', performed to a packed audience at Manchester's former Wilbraham Road Station on May 7, 1964. The star appears in a video that has recently resurfaced on social media as stormy weather pounds her and the audience of locals. The lineup, as well as Sister Rosetta, included blues legends Muddy Waters (inset) and Sonny Terry. The station, which closed in 1958, had been renamed 'Chorltonville' and made to appear as if it were America's Deep South. The audience had arrived by train from central Manchester. The performance, the Blues and Gospel Train, was broadcast on Granada TV and is now considered to be highly influential in British music production.
