Florida Man Walks Free After 400-Year Sentence Is Dropped

Sean Roberts March 16th
An innocent man spent 34 years in prison.

It’s the stuff that movies are made of, only this case is all too real. A Florida man who had been convicted of bank robbery and was serving a 400-year sentence for the crime was released from prison on Monday after being cleared of the crime. The man had already served over 30 years of the sentence he received way back in April of 1989 for being the getaway driver in a bank robbery.
Sidney Holmes is now 57 years old and many of his best years could be behind him, but Holmes says he has no time for hate. His first objective after being released was to find a good meal. The newly-freed man burst into tears in the courtroom as his verdict was announced on Monday as his family and friend watched. It was the end, and the beginning, of a very long road for Holmes. It all started back in 1988, when two men robbed a bank in Fort Lauderdale and then stole a woman’s car to get away for the scene. While the two robbers remain unidentified to this day, Holmes was identified by a witness as the driver of the getaway car. The problem was, Holmes was not there. There was no physical evidence to place him at the scene, and many witnesses backed up his story that he was with them that day, but that wasn’t good enough. He was sentenced to 400 years in prison for the crime. As time passed, Holmes’ remained in jail as his hair grayed and his hope faded. But it wasn’t over. His freinds and family were quietly working on the case and getting him out of prison. An investigation recently proved that Holmes man could not have been involved in the robbery.
During a review of the case, cracks emerged, such as the identification of Holmes by a bystander. It was ruled that the witness likely made a mistake in saying Holmes was in the car. Upon further investigation, it was found that the car Holmes owned was quite different from the one described in the robbery. Based on a new wealth of information in the case, a 6-person panel reviewed the man’s case and declared him innocent and free to go. Both of the victims in the case agreed that Holmes should be freed. Even prosecutors were shocked that Holmes had received a 400-year sentence and that he had served 34 years. All of that is water under the bridge to Holmes, who says he has “no time for hate”. Source: CBSNews.com

Carrie Underwood, Rock Chick

Carrie Underwood: 7 Times She's Shown Her Rock Fandom

Carrie Underwood is one of country music’s biggest stars. However, underneath it all, she clearly has a love for rock.

The singer has shared a stage with one of rock’s most iconic bands and has covered other rock legends. She’s even taken to Twitter to share her love of one heavy band, in particular.

Here’s a look at seven times Carrie Underwood has shown her fandom for rock.

  • Underwood covers 'Welcome to the Jungle' live

    During the October 15, 2022 opening night of her “Denim & Rhinestones” tour, Underwood’s 24-song set included a cover of the Guns N’ Roses classic “Welcome to the Jungle.” BTW: She absolutely belts the hell out of the song.

  • Axl Rose Joins Underwood at Stagecoach, Performs Two GN'R Songs

    Underwood clearly has a lot of love for GN’R, and it seems as though the feeling is mutual. During Underwood’s 2022 headlining set at Stagecoach, Axl Rose joined the singer on stage and sang “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Paradise City.” When she introduced Rose after singing the first verse of “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” she said to the crowd, “Welcome to the greatest night of my life! Give it up for Axl Rose!”

  • Underwood joins GN'R during two shows in England

    Underwood returned the favor by joining Guns N’ Roses during a two-night stand at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in England in July 2022. During both nights, Underwood joined GN’R on stage to perform “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Paradise City.” She shared in an Instagram post, “Together again…but this time in London and with a few more friends! Thanks, @gunsnroses, and your crew, for welcoming me into your world like family. And thanks to all the fans who gave these legends the royal welcome that they deserve! I am but a fan who somehow managed to find her way on stage to have a moment of magic with her heroes! How did I get so lucky?”

  • Underwood covers Ozzy Osbourne's 'Mama, I'm Coming Home'

    Underwood covered Osbourne’s ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home” from his 1991 studio album No More Tears as part of her new Apple Music Session EP released in July 2022. Underwood said of the track, “It’s one of my all-time favorite songs. I’ve always thought it felt a lot like a country song, and I’ve wanted to cover it for a long time.”

  • Underwood Loves Herself Some I Prevail

    I Prevail took to Twitter in September 2022 and shared about their third studio album True Power, “One month of ‘TRUE POWER’. 56M streams. All thanks to you.” Underwood replied to the tweet with, “I think I was a large number of them! [laughing/crying emoji]”

    Lead singer Brian Burkheiser replied to the country superstar with two prayer hand emojis and a grinning emoji.

  • Underwood and I Prevail finally meet each other

    Underwood performed at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on February 26, 2023. I Prevail happened to have formed in the nearby suburb of Southfield, Mich., which lent itself to the perfect opportunity for the singer and the band to meet.

    “I was so excited to have the guys from @iprevailband at the show last night in Michigan!!!” wrote Underwood on social media. ” I tried to play it cool and not fangirl too much! Super great guys!!! I’m hoping I get to catch one of their shows this year!!!”

    In the comments of Underwood’s Instagram post, I Prevail unclean vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe wrote, “There was an equal amount of fangirling haha. Thanks again for having us out! Show was incredible.” Meanwhile, I Prevail clean vocalist Brian Burkheiser wrote, “Thank you for an incredible night!!!”

  • Rose Joins Underwood again on stage

    Rose made a surprise appearance on stage with Underwood during her March 13 tour stop in Los Angeles. Rose and Underwood performed the GN’R classic “Welcome to the Jungle.” Underwood wrote on Instagram, “I’m the luckiest girl in the world…Thanks, Axl, for showing up, once again, to make the great times even better! It’ll forever feel like it was all a dream, but these dreams are my favorite ones!”

     

    As for Rose, he share a funny behind-the-scenes moment. He wrote on Twitter, “What’s better than leaving @cryptocomarena thru the back stage halls n’ load in with @carrieunderwood listening to Snoop Dogg on a phat ass rolling Bluetooth speaker?!?!”

Wait, what?

8 Music Videos with Strange Plots That Make No Sense

Music videos are a very unique art form, but let’s face it: Not all music videos were created equal. In fact, some of them just leave us asking, “What did I just watch?!”

Here are just eight music videos with strange plots that make no sense. Enjoy or feel free to scratch your head along with us.

  • Journey - 'Separate Ways'

    A mysterious woman is walking around a shipping dock. Add in awkward air instrumentation, some super-earnest singing while staring directly into the camera and an “it was all a dream” ending, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for ’80s gold!

  • Pat Benatar - 'Love Is A Battlefield'

    Great song, terrible video. Pat Benatar’s character runs away from home to the big city to become a type of hooker that only slow dances with dudes. There’s then a shimmy confrontation with her pimp, which she wins, and Pat and all her friends live to dance another day.

  • U2 - 'Numb'

    The pitch:  Let’s do terribly annoying things to The Edge, and he doesn’t react at all, because he’s numb. Get it? Side note: The part with the feet is just gross…unless you’re into that sort of thing. (No judgment if you are. You do you!)

  • Bon Jovi - 'Always'

    Okay, this one is a bit weird, but here’s the simplest breakdown: An artsy couple is being artsy. Then the artsy guy hooks up with the artsy girl’s roommate. Artsy girl finds out and runs to the loft of another artsy guy. They hook up. Artsy girl then calls the first artsy guy and he shows up at the second artsy guy’s loft. There’s a fight about a sexy painting…AND THEN THERE’S A BOMB?!

  • Billy Squire - 'Rock Me Tonight'

    The plot? Billy Squire dances around his tastefully decorated home wanting to be rocked tonight. It’s also step one of a one-step plan on how to kill your rock and roll career.

  • Huey Lewis and the News - 'Hip to be Square'

    Not sure if there’s a plot to this one, to be honest, but if there is one, it’s, “Here’s what Huey Lewis’s tonsils look like!”

  • Nelson - 'After The Rain'

    A kid with a terrible home life gets whisked away into a Nelson poster. He then meets a Native American who gives him a feather and directs him toward a trail only to see his favorite band Nelson rocking out on a rocky hillside. But then he wakes up, and it was all a dream…OR WAS IT?!

  • Damn Yankees - 'High Enough'

    This is certainly difficult to forget this one: A couple on the run, a police standoff and then there’s Ted Nugent inexplicably chomping on gum the entire video AND his involvement in the video’s “twist ending.”

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!

A stunning story of survival against the odds…
