Have a nice day? They did Saturday (April 14) in New Jersey, where the governor declared it “Bon Jovi Day” in honor of the state’s newest Rock & Roll Hall of Famers.

Gov. Phil Murphy made the declaration hours before the platinum-selling New Jersey band was to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Cleveland.

The Democratic governor hailed the “five musicians from New Jersey communities (who) believed in their dream and used their talents to form Bon Jovi, one of the most famous, enduring rock bands of all time.”

David Bowie lived in the Soho district of New York City for a good portion of his life.

Currently, his sprawling and celebrated David Bowie Is exhibit, which has toured the world, is being housed at the Brooklyn Museum.

The combination of these two things has resulted in the Soho subway station at Broadway-Lafayette being outfitted as a combination David Bowie shrine and ad for David Bowie Is. One of the central attractions at the station, outside of huge spreads of Bowie’s face on the rafters: designer metrocards.

Apparently they will run you $6.50 because they have a two-ride minimum, but they look pretty cool, and there are several designs you can collect.

Area fire crews quickly responded to and were able to put out a fire near Rainbow Lake.

One unoccupied structure burned, an old cabin, according to a witness.

 “No one was injured and nobody or any occupied structures were ever in any danger,” said Kirk Webb, Risk Manager for Timber Mesa Fire and Medical Department.
An area business was evacuated but no nearby residences were, according to Webb, although social media reports speculated otherwise.

Crews were able to extinguish the fire and worked to mop up hot spots within a couple hours.

The fire started around 6:30 p.m. Monday, just east of the Rainbow Lake dam and is actively under investigation.

Prince Heirs Stew…

As the second anniversary of Prince’s death approaches, his heirs have yet to collect a dollar of his estimated $200 million estate. But bankers, lawyers and consultants have earned millions from it.

The long saga to settle the estate provides a cautionary tale about dying without a will, as Prince did when he died of an accidental opioid overdose at his suburban Minneapolis studio on April 21, 2016, and the heirs can’t quit squabbling. Here’s a look at where things stand:

NO DOUGH YET

Even though it’s been nearly two years since Prince died, the executor of the estate, Comerica Bank and Trust, can’t split the money among Prince’s six surviving siblings until the Internal Revenue Service and executor agree on the estate’s value when Prince died.

It’s not clear when that might happen. The IRS and state of Minnesota are entitled to collect about half, though the estate can stretch out the payments over time.
