The first picture captures a youthful Joey Vendetta, during his Q107 days, chumming with Keith Richards who had stopped in town to plug one of his early solo albums and hang with the best.


In the 2nd picture, Trooper poses backstage at Vancouver's Coliseum on the night of Oct. 25, 1980, with the Universal gang that included MCA National Promo exec Lesley Soldat, label VP & GM George Burns, and on the far right is the band's manager Sam Feldman. It was an auspicious night as it was the first of many SRO concerts in Trooper's hometown.

And our 3rd picture today has Parachute Club receiving Gold for their 1986 album, Small Victories. For those with sharp eyes, yes, that's Jim Campbell squeezing in between Lorraine Segato and Lauri Conger.

50 Cent Talks Debut Novel, Celibacy and Never Getting Married on ‘Late Show’: ‘I’m Not a Happy Hostage’

The rapper also talked about the surprise Dr. Dre drop-in at his 12-year-old son Sire's birthday party.

According to 50 Cent, marriage is good for thee, but not for he. The hip-hop mogul sat down with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show on Wednesday night (Sept. 4) to chop it up about his happily unwedded lifestyle, as well as doubling down on a vow of celibacy he claimed has allowed him to stay super-focused.

“Listen, when you calm down you can focus,” 50 said after Colbert read a recent magazine headline touting the near-billionaire’s sex-free lifestyle. “I’ve been good to me.” Colbert wondered what the money was for then if not to share with the love of his life, with 50 (born Curtin Jackson) explaining, “[Money is] when things start getting complicated, things start getting confusing, ‘cause people come in for different reasons.”
