Bad Company to Reunite for One-Night-Only Concert

Three original members of 70s supergroup Bad Company are reuniting for a one-off concert at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida on August 8th. The performance marks the first time band members Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke have performed together as Bad Company since 1999. The band's founding bassist, Boz Burrell, passed away in 2006. Rodgers has since gone in to become the lead singer of Queen. No reason was given as to why Bad Company are reuniting, but the band promises the performance will be one-night-only.

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
