Song of the Day: 'Tied Up' by Olivia Newton-John


Did you hear that Olivia Newton-John is aboard that drug-ladened Atlantis cruise where "Storm Chasers" star Joel Taylor allegedly died from an overdose? Bareback porn star Austin Wolf posted this picture from the ship -- and Capt. Johnny Faevelen shared two more, including one with ONJ's hubby. (I hope he doesn't get lost at sea, too!) "Tied Up" -- which I'm pretty sure original pressings mislabeled as "Fed Up"! -- was the second new track from her "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" in 1982. Although it didn't do nearly as well as "Heart Attack," I think it's a better song. In fact, Stevie Nicks ended up recording it too (as "Tied Up in Promises") for her follow-up to "The Wild Heart," to be called "Mirror Mirror." Nicks wasn't happy with the album's results and it was scrapped, and she released "Rock a Little" instead. A couple of songs later wound up on the next album, "The Other Side of the Mirror," but not this one.


Olivia looking totally hot!

Joel Taylor of 'Storm Chasers' Dies of Suspected Overdose on Gay Cruise Ship


Joel Taylor, who was a driver/meteorologist on the Discovery Channel's “Storm Chasers,” has reportedly died aboard a cruise ship bound for the Caribbean. The 38-year-old reality star's cause of death remains unclear, but TMZ reports Taylor may have overdosed prior to being found unresponsive in his cabin Tuesday on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Harmony of the Seas, chartered by the gay cruise line Atlantis Events.

"It appears the death could be an overdose and Joel Taylor was consuming controlled substances," law-enforcement sources told TMZ. Passengers aboard the ship said that they witnessed Taylor taking drugs, including ecstasy and cocaine. One said Taylor was knocked unconscious after consuming a large quantity of GHB on the dance floor. (People still do that?) The source said Taylor was removed from the floor by two friends who then took him to his cabin.

A rep for the boat tells TMZ Taylor was found unresponsive in his cabin Tuesday and law enforcement was alerted when the boat arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico.


On a private Facebook group devoted to the cruise, these comments were posted in the past 30 minutes:
"Our friend saw him getting dragged out of the concert last night."  
"Rumor is that there have been 3 deaths on board. Only this one made the news since he was famous."
Very sad story. Will update if more information comes in.
