Jelly Roll Might Get a Full Pardon for His Crimes
Jelly Roll has been very honest about his past. He served time for drug crimes and still has a felony conviction for aggravated assault on his record.
But that might be changing.
The Tennessee Board of Parole just recommended that Jelly receive a full pardon, meaning his past crimes would no longer be on his record.
Even though Jelly is famous, he still has trouble travelling because of his felony conviction. Performing shows abroad has been a huge hurdle.
So, if his past crimes do get expunged, I'm sure it would be a great weight off his shoulders.
Nashville Sheriff, Daron Hall, spoke on behalf of Jelly at the parole meeting. And then he posted this after: "One year ago I wrote Governor Bill Lee asking for a full pardon for Jason "Jelly Roll" DeFord . . . Today the board unanimously recommended his pardon. It's now in the hands of our governor."
Here's what Jelly said at the parole hearing: "I want to be an inspiration for people who are now where I used to be . . . to let them know that change is truly possible."

Does the New Ghost Song Sound Too Much Like Journey?
One of the biggest debates in the metal community these days revolves around Ghost. Are they metal at all? Are they hard rock? Are they pop?
Well, they released a new single yesterday called "Peacefield", and it's muddying the waters even further, with some people comparing it to JOURNEY. Specifically, the Journey classic "Separate Ways".
It's mainly the choruses of both songs that have similar structures.
The new Ghost album, "Skeleta", comes out tomorrow.
