Green Day”s pre-show promo (all the signs of what was to come are there)  and stunning (NSFW audio) finale at the 2012 iHeartRadio concert in Las Vegas.

Imagining that the band are having their set cut to make way for the likes of Usher and Rihanna, Billie Joe Armstrong unleashes the classic rock-tantrum Trinity: f-bomb, bird and smashed guitar.

Punchline: the set had not been cut short. Billy Joe was simply high as a monkey.

‘SECRET’ top-up payments to disability charity chiefs on salaries up to €150,000 are being investigated by Department of Health officials. The officials are conducting a high-level probe into how the charities are spending €1.5bn in state funding.They now believe some senior executives are getting extra payments on top of their salaries.

…One leading charity, Rehab, made it clear that it did not welcome  [Health Minister] Dr Reilly’s request for information on its chief executive Angela Kerins’ package. Rehab chairman Brian Kerr told the minister that Ms Kerins’ remuneration was “not a matter in which you have a role” as her salary was funded from money raised from other commercial sources rather than out of the €36m the charity received from the State last year. He did, however, tell Dr Reilly that Ms Kerins received a salary of €234,000. But he denied she was getting bonus payments on top of that

 

Spare a thought for Angela though.

She made €400,000 in 2009.
