Saints Owner Gayle Benson Was Victim Of Attempted Carjacking

Gayle Benson has risen to prominence in the sports world over the past few years as her standing as the owner of both the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans. Unfortunately, the 73-year-old Benson was the victim of an alleged carjacking on Saturday, October 10th, in New Orleans. According to TMZ, Benson was sitting in her car, when all of a sudden, a man in a white Nissan Titan parked next to her and approached the vehicle.

This is when things got particularly scary as Benson says the man tried to enter the vehicle. Eventually, he got the door open and tried to make his way in although Benson began screaming at him which prompted the alleged carjacker to flea the seen in his car. Based on the report, it would appear that Benson was shaken up by the attempted crime, which is certainly understandable.

“While she was very shaken at the time, she was unharmed and is doing fine,” her representative stated. “She wanted to send her sincere gratitude to the men and women of the New Orleans Police Department that responded so quickly and professionally.”

The police are currently in the midst of an investigation into the matter and are looking for the perpetrator. Neither an arrest nor an identification has been made.

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”

Goat

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.

“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.

The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
