Jessica is a great song, but Ramblin' Man is still my favorite of theirs. My actual favorite southern rock band is The Marshall Tucker Band (Heard It In A Love Song, Can't You See). Hopefully the surgery helps, but it does sound very iffy.

Is Slade popular in Canada? No idea.
Quiet Riot was actually trying to do a bad version of it because the lead singer didn't want to do any covers and didn't like Slade's music:

I prefer the Slade original myself -- Noddy Holder was an amazing singer back in the day. But my favorite Slade piece is this live cover of a song by The Lovin' Spoonful:
(Joe Cocker's cover might be more well known, and it is also very good)

Not really. The singles that would chart in the U.S. would chart a little higher in Canada, but the singles that didn't catch on in the U.S. also didn't catch on in Canada. "Run Runaway" was almost a top 10 song here, though. Quiet Riot reminds me of hockey, since players on my Atom team would blast it in the dressing room.

William “Bill” Coors, brewing industry leader, dies at 102
GOLDEN, Colo. — William “Bill” Coors, a former leader at Coors Brewing Company, passed away Saturday at the age of 102. Molson Coors announced the death in a press release. The company said Bill died peacefully at his home.
Bill was the grandson of Adolf Coors, who founded the brewery in 1873.
According to Molson Coors, Bill earned a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University in 1938 and got his masters degree in chemical engineering in 1939.
Bill joined his family’s business as an engineer after receiving his masters. Bill is credited with developing the recyclable aluminum can, which is now standard in the beer industry.
Bill is the former chairman of the board of Adolph Coors Company.
“Our company stands on the shoulders of giants like Bill Coors. His dedication, hard work and ingenuity, helped shape not only our company but the entire beer industry. We honor his memory by rededicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much – brewing the best tasting, highest quality beer to share with family and friends. Cheers to you Uncle Bill!” President and CEO of Molson Coors, Mark Hunter, said in the release.
Bill was involved in a number of charitable and civic projects in the Denver area and throughout Colorado. Molson Coors said Bill was on the board of trustees for the Boys and Girls Club of Denver Foundation, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and the University of Denver. He held a number of positions at other organizations as well.
On Saturday afternoon, the Coors family sent the following statement to FOX31 and Channel 2:
Pete Coors, who ran unsuccessfully to represent Colorado in the U.S. Senate in 2004, is Bill’s nephew.”Today our father, grandfather and uncle passed away. Bill was a consistent and steady mentor and leader of our family both professionally and personally. He shared with us his passion for brewing, his dedication to wellness and his commitment to sharing our family legacy with upcoming generations. He was dedicated to our family, our family businesses and having a positive impact on our community. We will miss Bill’s leadership, his stories, and his smile.”

I know a corporate exec does not really count as a celebrity but he was the co-founder of one of the must influential tech companies in history. Paul Allen

He's a pro sports owner. He certainly counts.
If you're so rich that most of the world's other billionaires get a crick in their neck from looking up at you on their wealth ladder, you're a celebrity whether you want to be or not.
Also, if you co-founded one of the most well-known companies of the last 40 years, you're worth noting.
If you own arguably the most well-known brothel in the U.S., you're a celebrity:

In any other era of my life I would not have taken this headline seriously. I mean it reads like the pitch for an episode of Law&Order or CSI(spinoffs included).Dennis Hof, the notorious pimp and Republican candidate for Nevada’s state assembly, died hours after a combination 72nd birthday party/campaign rally attended by GOP tax fighter Grover Norquist, recent Trump pardon recipient Sheriff Joe Arpaio and porn movie legend Ron Jeremy.

If you wanna hang out you better take her out... Cocaine.
She don't mind she don't mind she don't mind
I heard an interview on a podcast with Dennis Hof years ago.
Seemed like a really cool dude.
From the sounds of it, he just wanted people to be happy like he was.
Him being GOP surprises me. He was an open advocate for sex worker's rights and legalizing prostitution. That's pretty counter to the super religious portion of the right.

Yeah, but Vegas/metropolis right is soooo different from rural right.
Why? Seems like he was basically libertarian, and quite a few of them (the Paul family, etc.) tend to vote Republican.
