A Palestinian flag and the voice of Mahmoud Khalil: pro-Palestinian gesture on stage at Coachella Alternative band Blonde Redhead used performance at the popular festival to support the student who was arrested by the Trump administration and faces deportation after leading the pro-Palestinian movement at Columbia University; joins a string of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli gestures at the music event

It would be pointless to try and introduce Gene Simmons in a comprehensive way. He’s done too much, lived too long, and reinvented himself too many times to be summed up in a line or two. And so, I’ll simply tell you that my conversation with this legendary rock star led me to conclude that he is, among a great many other things, a patriot and a Momma’s boy. Although, not necessarily in that order. I suspect you’ll reach a similar conclusion.

A song about depression...When I come home baby And I've been working all night long I put my daughter on my knee, and she say "Daddy what's wrong?" I put my head on her shoulder She whispers in my ear so sweet You know what she says? "Daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why." You know, I got a woman And she lives in the poor part of town and I go see her sometimes And we make love, so fine I put my head on her shoulder She says,...

Disco music’s time in the sun may have passed, but the legacy of “The Hustle,” a mega hit in the genre, lives onOn April 18, 1975, Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony’s “The Hustle” was released and skyrocketed to become a massive dance hit of the decade, selling ten million records. The song and the dance it celebrated set the beat of the disco era. The record is known for its irresistible rhythm and its primary lyrical command: “Do the hustle,” which is said 11 times. The only other lyrics—said five times—are “Do it.” Before spending an hour to...

My latest song. Cat dreams are the best dreams.

This will not be a full series review, just a note to say I finished season one and it was fantastic. GREAT characters, including Samuel played by the great actor Stephen Lang ("Pickett" in "Gettysburg") and Oded Fehr (one of the protectors of the tomb in "The Mummy"). Michael Iskander is fantastic as David, who, almost alone among his family is willing to take the prophet's word. Ali Sulieman plays a deteriorating king, looking more and more like Biden with every episode. True to the Bible. I give it an A.

The Who have confirmed the dismissal of drummer Zak Starkey, who had been a touring member of the band for 29 years. The son of Ringo Starr was dismissed following reports of a dispute with singer Roger Daltrey that became public during the band’s recent performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall. A light-hearted social media post from Starkey seemed to suggest that he’d known about the move before it was announced. “The band made a collective decision to part ways with Zak after this round of shows at the Royal Albert Hall,” a representative’s statement read. “They have nothing but...

I know Glen is the key, and he basically told Roy Acuff to shut up. Roy was a bada$$. So when he shuts up, I wanna know who's the other folks in that choir.

People attending the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival are stunned once again about the food prices — and many festivalgoers are turning to social media to highlight just how expensive everything is. In videos shared on TikTok, Coachella attendees showed off what they ate and how much they paid for their meals or individual items. TikToker Ruth Viveros shared in a April 11 video that she spend $102 for two plates of three tacos, a plate of loaded nachos and two lemonades, with each lemonade costing $17 per cup. "They’re not good, not good at all," she said of...

This is an acoustic guitar version of the bluegrass song- “Dust in a baggie” by Billy Strings. He’s called Strings because he can play any stringed instrument. He’s awful talented.

Oprah Winfrey is so proud of her bestie. The billionaire, 71, cried when her BFF Gayle King took off into space on the Blue Origin mission Monday morning alongside five others, including Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos’s fiancée, Lauren Sánchez. Winfrey was on scene at the launch site in West Texas and told a reporter during the livestream that she wore yellow because King, 70, is “sunshine.”

Johnny Carson was America’s ultimate late-night host. The comedian’s most beloved gig was hosting “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” for 30 seasons from 1962 until his retirement in 1992. His nephew, Jeff Sotzing, worked alongside his uncle, starting off as a receptionist in 1977, before becoming a producer on the show by ’92. “I think he’d be flattered,” the television producer exclusively told The Post of how the late star would think of the current “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon “It has so many elements that the ‘Tonight Show’ that I worked on did not have because of the...

My latest song. Eat up!

Fifty years after Monty Python and the Holy Grail redefined comedy, stars Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam look back on the freedoms – and limitations – that shaped the film. An independent British comedy made on a shoestring by a television sketch troupe? It sounds like a film destined to be forgotten within weeks of leaving cinemas – assuming it reaches cinemas in the first place. But Monty Python and the Holy Grail is still revered as one of the greatest ever big-screen comedies, 50 years on from its release in April 1975. Terry Gilliam, who co-directed the film with...
