BREAKING: KIM DAVIS MAY BE BACK IN JAIL SOON!

imageHOLLYWOOD, Calfornia  (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – She may just have been released from county jail, but Kim Davis, the Rowan County clerk who defied a Supreme Court ruling asking her to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, could end up back behind bars.

To celebrate her release after six hard days in prison, Davis held a press conference with Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. At the press conference, Davis cried and waved to the crowd,  the crowd cheered and waved cardboard crosses, and the rock band Survivor tune ‘Eye of the Tiger’  played in the background, just like in the movie, ‘Rocky III.’

But the band said it didn’t give Davis permission to use the song. “NO! We did not grant Kim Davis any rights to use ‘My Tune -The Eye Of The Tiger,’” the song’s co-writer, Frank Sullivan said on the band’s Facebook page. “I would not grant her the rights to use Charmin! C’mom Mike, you are not The Donald but you can do better than that -See Ya really SoooooooonnnnnnN!!!!!!,” the post added.

And so the ‘Rocky’ saga continues for Davis, in court.

If convicted for unauthorized  public performance of a copyrighted  material, she could face a homecoming in county jail, perhaps, along with Huckabee.

1982 BILLBOARD HIT ‘EYE OF THE TIGER’ BACK ON TOP OF THE CHARTS, THANKS TO KIM DAVIS

Eye_of_the_Tiger_SurvivorAfter 33 years, a 1982 number one hit song is back on the top of the Billboard chart, thanks to Rowan County clerk Kim Davis who was released  today after spending the long weekend behind bars for defying a Supreme Court order for her to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The song, “Eye of the Tiger” by American rock band Survivor was released in the spring of 1982 and was written at the request of actor Sylvester Stallone to be the theme song for the movie “Rocky III.”  It was written by Frank Sullivan and Jim Peterik.

As Davis, accompanied by Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee,  emerged from country jail, she was met by a cheering crowd of self-proclaimed Christians.  The song “Eye of the Tiger” was blasting in the background.

It wasn’t clear whose decision it was to play the song, but we can understand why, just by some of the song’s lyrics:

Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance
Now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

With her defiance, Davis is really some kind of tiger!

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) –   ‘And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.’ With these words  rapper Kanye West officially declared his candidacy to be the next leader of the free world.

West made the surprise announcement on live TV during last night’s MTV Video Music Awards where he received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

The segment started with a bang when West was handed his Moonman by an unexpected contemporary: reigning pop queen / one-time Kanye “victim” Taylor Swift. After a narrated montage containing clips from every part of West’s career, Swift came up on stage and talked about her West fandom and his influence on her career. She wrapped her speech by quoting West’s infamous 2009 VMA interruption — you know, the one where he rushed the stage and grabbed the mic from Swift to defend Beyoncé’s work — to proclaim that he’s had “one of the greatest careers of all time.”

Speaking to reporters after the telecast, West said, ‘If an idiot like Donald Trump can run for president, why can’t I ?’  He then thanked Barack Obama for showing the world that black men can be president in the U.S.

Kim Kardashian, who was standing beside West during the interview with reporters, was asked how she feels about being First Lady.  She responded with a Sarah Palin-style wink at the reporter who asked the question.

Here’s the full video of West’s acceptance speech at the Video Musis Awards.
