a new album out map of the Souls 7 and
it's peaked at number one on the Billboard

00:26:26

00:26:31
And the guys are just hot everywhere they
go they've won all kinds of social media

00:26:35
awards they have topped
the social charts for

00:26:38
a long long time and that just continues to
be the trend I did put a video of b.t.s.

00:26:44
In carpool karaoke on my Facebook page so
if you want to see their personality off

00:26:49
stage one

00:26:50
a little bit more. About how the guys
behave when they're not performing you can

00:26:54
check out my Facebook
Facebook dot com slash v.o.a.

00:26:57
Larry London and there is a car pool
karaoke with the guys in b.t.s. Now b.t.s.

00:27:03
Have been affected by the coronavirus just
like so many other artists Celine Dion

00:27:08
has postponed a number of
shows including her d.c.

00:27:10
Show she says that she has a cold and
that's why she's cancelling shows in d.c.

00:27:16
Pittsburgh and some other places
but so far the diagnosis is

00:27:19
a cold coronavirus presents like

00:27:22
a cold so that's one person Madonna has
canceled the remainder of her Paris tour

00:27:28
for Madame x.

00:27:30
Pearl Jam announced they're canceling
their tour and the Coachella Valley Music

00:27:35
Festival has rescheduled it was supposed
to be at the end of April rescheduled

00:27:40
a Coachella festival now out until October
so they move the festival to October and

00:27:46
Green Day announced that they're
canceling a number of shows and b.t.s.

00:27:50
Announced they are postponing the start
of their tour which was supposed to begin

00:27:55
in Seoul where they're from but
apparently the virus is spreading in Asia

00:28:02
and everybody is very concerned
about that so b.t.s.

00:28:05
Have temporarily delayed the start of their
tour they were supposed to begin April

00:28:11
11th 12th 18th and 19th in Seoul but that
has been postponed so that's what's going

00:28:16
on in the world music Miley Cyrus also
announced she was supposed to perform this

00:28:20
week in Australia for the bushfire benefit
concert on the 13th in Melbourne and she

00:28:27
has pulled out of that because she doesn't
want to get the airplane the folks from

00:28:31
the c.d.c.

00:28:32
Center for Disease Control are saying don't
fly in an airplane if you don't have to

00:28:36
and so Miley's made that conscious decision
to not fly so this is border crossings

00:28:42
and we are here and we're safe you won't
get anything from us I promise I'm not

00:28:47
contagious Thanks for listening

sane in Bangladesh who wrote in and

00:28:56
said I want to hear a song from a con
and a con lot of people don't know

00:29:00
a cons religion there's not much discussion
on that but he was just recently in

00:29:05
Mecca where he performed along with his
friends there. From the Muslim faith

00:29:12
so I guess one could assume that
he's Muslim but I know he's building

00:29:18
a whole city in Senegal where he's going
to be the king in Senegal kind of like you

00:29:24
know Black Panther he wants
it to be like what. Here's

00:29:28
a song now from 4 or Mohammad. Poor.

And I am

00:37:35
a fan of that girl I like her sound I like
her music Billie Eilish for Augustine.

00:37:42
And that's called everything I wanted on
border crossings and she is currently on

00:37:48
the Where do we go to war which began on
Monday in Miami Florida very interesting

00:37:53
that the show started with a
video video screen came out

00:37:57
a lot of you know concerts begin with
videos and this time around she was making

00:38:02
a statement about herself and she's
talked about body shamers and body issues

00:38:06
before but the video to the show kind of
talks about how she feels there's double

00:38:12
standards she said I wear baggy clothes
you don't know what's underneath Don't

00:38:17
judge me she went on to say that if I wear
baggy clothes people question me and if

00:38:24
I don't if I show my body then people
call me a slut she said so there is

00:38:29
a double standard because guys can wear
baggy clothes and nobody says anything but

00:38:35
she said you don't know what my body looks
like. Don't judge me and so that's kind

00:38:40
of what she's all about you know she's very
much in your face she doesn't hold back

00:38:43
and that is Billie Eilish and everything
I wanted her tour continues tomorrow in

00:38:49
Raleigh and then she's off to Philadelphia
New York Newark Washington d.c.

00:46:44
a grain cane. And he listens in
Rwanda to our show it's Nicki

00:46:51
minaj song here on border crossings
now Nicki Minaj has been in the news

00:46:55
a little bit lately for several reasons
1st of all she got married and she said

00:47:00
21000 was her best year in her life ever
last year she released the album queen she

00:47:04
did her own radio show. The guy she married
to Kenneth petty and apparently he's

00:47:10
had to register as

00:47:10
a sex offender. And so she's getting some
slack for that but she said I'm standing

00:47:15
by my man and there's

00:47:17
a talk show host Wendy Williams who said
that she never should have married her

00:47:22
which has caused a bit of

00:47:23
a stir in social media circles but Nikki
said I'm standing by my guy and she's

00:47:28
coming out with new music despite reporting
last year that she was retiring. She is

00:47:33
working on some new stuff she's got

00:47:34
a duet with Adele of all people
that is coming out and there was

00:47:38
a report that she's pregnant which she
hasn't confirmed or denied but I know that

00:47:45
there was

00:47:46
a photo with Kenneth her husband patting
her belly saying Daddy's here so that's

00:47:52
kind of stirred

00:47:52
a bit of. Consternation questioning on
social media but not sure what's going on

00:47:58
there she doesn't talk
much we will be playing

00:48:00
a song next from an artist who is pregnant

00:48:04
a brand new song before I
do that I do want to cover

00:48:06

different there's Ebola there's malaria

00:48:51
there's listeria from the water there's
you know all kinds of things there's all

00:48:56
kinds of diseases and this is yet another
one that we're worried about but it is

00:49:01
a serious one because there is no treatment
there is no cure and it kind of his

00:49:05
randomly taking lives some young people
have died mostly older people even some.

00:49:12
Middle aged in fact the doctor in China
who is researching this very virus died

00:49:18
from contracting the virus and I think he
was in his fifty's so he wasn't old and

00:49:22
he wasn't sick so this is something to take
seriously be careful wash your hands as

00:49:27
I say all the time and this is something
that is spread with direct contact some of

00:49:33
the experts I've heard said it's get spread
within 5 to 6 feet of another person

00:49:37
because of the the droplets when they sneeze
or cough and and stuff like that so be

00:49:42
careful you know cover your mouth when you
sneeze and cough I know some countries

00:49:46
it isn't you know they don't they don't do
that it's not common etiquette but it is

00:49:50
something that out of

00:49:51
a sanitary reason out of hygiene alone you
need to cover your mouth when you cough

00:49:56
