Is the rock and roll dream officially dead, or just being sold to the highest bidder in the adult industry? Wild Eye Releasing is dropping Tight, a "mockumentary" featuring adult film stars like Monica Mayhem and Tuesday Cross attempting to transition into an all-girl rock band. Let’s be real: this isn't about the music. It’s a marketing gimmick fueled by the same industry that commodifies everything else.

The CMS crew doesn’t hold back on the absurdity of Bree Olson—of Charlie Sheen "Goddess" fame—managing a group of "musicians" who supposedly competed on Howard Stern’s talent show. We’ve seen this movie before. From Paris Hilton to Octomom, the industry loves a crossover, but it rarely produces anything with actual substance. If you have to process the vocals until they sound like a robotic Stevie Nicks on an Ozzy track, you aren't a rock star—you're a product. We’re tearing down the curtain on the "Porn-Rock" trend and asking why actual talent is being pushed aside for the "Triple-X Factor."

Chris Akin finally explains the terrifying reality behind his disappearance from CMS.
COVID. Pneumonia. Oxygen. Hospitalization. Near death.
And here’s the part nobody wants to say out loud… it changed everything.

Then the episode completely spirals.

What starts as a normal CMS catch-up turns into a full-blown time capsule from the early days of internet broadcasting — before streaming was easy, before podcasting exploded, and before anybody knew what the hell they were doing.

Nelson Ledges. Primitive wireless systems. Internet failures. Live disasters. Total technical collapse.
The stories get crazier the deeper this goes.

And underneath all of it is the bigger conversation nobody in entertainment wants to admit:

The same culture that made billions from outrage, sex, drugs, and destruction is now pretending it was offended the entire time.

Ric Flair. KISS. Howard Stern. Bill Clinton. Dave Chappelle.
Different industries. Same hypocrisy.

Then somehow the conversation gets even darker.

A church empire. Weight loss manipulation. Money. Vanity. Obedience. Cult psychology. HBO’s “The Way Down” exposed one of the strangest religious scams ever built — and the deeper the story gets, the uglier it becomes.

If you’re watching this here, you’re already behind.

Today, the acclaimed American hard rock band TESLA is proud to share a new cover of Queen's 1977 classic, "Spread Your Wings," taken from their upcoming album, 'Homage,' set for release on July 17, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl. Marking a full-circle moment in their storied career, the album finds the band returning to their roots with a collection of covers honoring some of rock’s most timeless hits.

Bassist, keyboardist, pianist, and backing vocalist Brian Wheat shares:

"'Spread Your Wings' for me was the song I always wanted to record by Queen. I always felt it was the one song they had in their catalog that should’ve been a massive hit, but wasn’t because it was overshadowed by 'We Are the Champions' and 'We Will Rock You' on the 'News of the World' album. It was also a song written by John Deacon, who was the band's secret weapon and whom not many people talk about, the quiet one, shall we say."

It is remarkable to reflect on the more than 40 years since TESLA began as a cover band performing in California nightclubs before going on to write and record original material and sell millions of albums.

Much like their musical heroes — The Beatles and The Rolling Stones—artists who honed their craft by performing songs from those who came before them, TESLA followed a similar path in their early years and continues to embrace the tradition of paying tribute through cover songs today.

‘Homage,’ the band’s upcoming album, not only honors legendary artists but also provides an opportunity to showcase lead singer Jeff Keith's vocal diversity. The album stands as a thank-you expressed through music, an offering to the iconic voices and songs that shaped the band’s influences and, ultimately, their own songwriting. 

'Homage' is not about imitation, but acknowledgment, tracing the line from influence to identity, from listening to becoming. The project also arrives more than 20 years after the ‘Real to Reel’ series, a release that helped inspire the creation of a new original TESLA song, “Never Alone.”

The selected songs on 'Homage' were chosen for a variety of reasons, primarily representing some of the greatest vocalists of all time, including Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, Sam Cooke, David Ruffin, Etta James, and James Brown. Additional selections reflect songs the band grew up hearing on the radio and on their turntables.

On the upcoming album, TESLA shares:

"Our new album 'Homage' is a thank-you note written in sound. An offering to the great singers and songs that shaped the music we grew up listening to, and the songs we would eventually write. We hope you all enjoy this as much as we did making it. Thank you for all the years - Keep it Real and Keep On Rockin'!"
