It's the dead of summer, and A24's collaboration with Peacock has finally revealed the trailer for their series inspired by the harrowing lore behind the hockey mask of Friday the 13thtitan of terror—Jason Voorhees.

The first look at Camp Crystal Lake just dropped for the upcoming streamer series release from IT: Welcome to Derry, showrunner (and singing voice of Aladdin) Brad Caleb Kane. It's set for release on Peacock on October 15th, and star Linda Cardellini dished on what it's like to take on the mantle of the genre's original killer mother.

In a recent interview with Deadline, star Linda Cardellini talked about playing Pamela Voorhees. "She's important to the series, but sort of unexplored. "So I thought that would be really, really fun to do something I'd never done," she said. From the trailer, we get a sense that Cardellini's take gets to explore the complex and cathartic unraveling of the character, originally played by Betsy Palmer in the 1980 horror classic. It's going to be exciting to see a mother in mourning after her son Jason drowns at summer camp and how that sets off a chain of grizzly teen murders.

Cardellini also told the trade that Kane really built upon the mythology of the iconic hockey-masked killer's mother, adding that he "has made sort of this mixtape of all the things that he would love to see happen for her. It goes all over the place for her character, and it's really fun," she described regarding how Camp Crystal Lake approaches the direct aftermath of Jason Voorhees' death as a kid and how it makes his mother such an integral part of the Friday the 13th franchise legacy.

Camp Crystal Lake will hit Peacock and stream this Halloween season on October 15th.

Sir Patrick Stewart, the award-winning actor best known for playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films, has turned 86.

The English actor celebrated his 86th birthday on Monday, marking more than seven decades in entertainment. Despite his age, Stewart recently made it clear that he is not ready to step away from acting.

In a recent interview with TV Insider, Stewart addressed retirement rumors and said, "I can't imagine ever officially 'retiring.' I'll always and forever be an actor."

The statement comes after online speculation suggested that his upcoming return as Professor X in Avengers: Doomsday could be his final film role. Stewart, however, indicated that his career is far from over.

Born on July 13, 1940, in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, Stewart built one of the most respected careers in film, television and theater. He joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966 and later became one of Britain's most celebrated stage actors.

His international breakthrough came in 1987 when he was cast as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The series ran until 1994 and turned Stewart into a global star.

He later reprised the role in several Star Trek films and again in the series Star Trek: Picard, which concluded in 2023.

Stewart also became a fan favorite in another major franchise when he portrayed Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Menmovies beginning in 2000. He has played the character in several films and is set to return in Avengers: Doomsday.

Throughout his career, Stewart has earned numerous honors, including two Olivier Awards and a Grammy Award, along with nominations for Emmy Awards, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards. In 2010, Queen Elizabeth II knighted him for services to drama.

Long before social media polls and online fan campaigns became common, Stewart earned an unusual title from television viewers.

In 1992, readers of TV Guide voted him television's "most bodacious man." The poll described "bodacious" as someone who is outstanding, bold and splendid, according to Deseret News.

Stewart received 54 percent of the vote, beating several other television stars. At the time, he joked about the recognition and reflected on losing his hair at a young age.

"It would have been awfully nice if it had happened when I was 19 and lost my hair." He added, "I believed that no woman would ever be interested in me again. I prepared myself for the reality that a large part of my life was over."

Instead, Stewart became one of Hollywood's most recognizable stars and proved that talent and confidence mattered far more than appearance.

Even at 86, he remains active in the entertainment industry. He recently appeared in The Sheep Detectives and continues to accept new acting projects.

For many fans, Stewart's birthday is not only a celebration of a beloved actor but also a reminder of a career that has inspired generations across film, television and theater.

Former child star Ashley Johnson revealed she was almost abducted by a fan after a live taping.

Her breakout role was playing Chrissy Seaver on ABC's sitcomGrowing Pains in the early 1990s. She is now known for working on projects such as The Last of Us, Blindspot, and What Women Want.

Johnson told her WeirdKids podcast cohost, Taliesin Jaffe, about the terrifying event on a recent episode.

“It was in the first year I was on, and we had only done a couple of film nights,” Johnson said. “So, I hadn’t done that many yet and at that time, all of the cast sort of had trailers and they were like old camper trailers. They’re not like the fancy trailers that they are now. They were great. We would exit our trailers before the shoot and the audience that would be walking in, you would walk by the audience before you would walk into the studio.”

The actress shared that the studio didn’t have metal detectors or additional security measures that are often seen on set now. Johnson said that studio audience members could walk “within five feet” of the cast when they came to set.

“Somebody had written in and said that, ‘I am coming to set and I am going to bring a gun and I am going to murder some of the cast,’” she continued.

“So, I’m walking with my mom and then I just remember some guy hops out of the line and he grabs me and grabs me up and starts booking it. And all I remember is like, there was security that somehow got on him after some time.”

The now 42-year-old recalled the man having a gun. She said she was “flying around in the air” when security intervened in the attempted abduction.

“I was clueless as to what was happening, but I was very upset and they were talking to me about it after. And they were like, ‘Are you okay?’ And I just said, ‘I just think I’m gonna be in trouble,’” Johnson said.

This nostalgia is strong with D23 Expo 2026, as the ultimate fan event is giving every Disney era the spotlight to celebrate the studio's multigenerational legacy. The full panel lineup has been dropped, and if you grew up watching Walt Disney announce Disneyland plans on TV, waking up early for Disney Channel Saturday Morning Cartoons, or loading games and DVDs into your PlayStation 2, this year's offerings are built for major throwback fun.

There's just so much fromAlice in Wonderland turning 75 to A Goofy Movie needle drops live to Kingdom Hearts unlocking Y2K gamers' core memories. Not to mention the major news out of Disney Studios, with the latest on family favorites including Bluey, Marvel, and Disney Parks expansion reveals. With that in mind, we're running down the standout (above-the-crowd) programming that Disney and pop culture fans alike should be most excited for.

Scott Bryce, the two-time Daytime Emmy nominee beloved for playing Craig Montgomery on hit CBS soap opera As the World Turns, has died at 68.

News of his death began circulating Sunday evening, July 12, after his longtime friend and former costar Lucie Arnaz shared it in a Facebook post that has since been taken down, according to MichelfreemanTV.com.

Arnaz's tribute captured just how much Bryce meant to the people around him. "A wonderful actor, a beautiful man and a terrific husband and father, Scott Bryce, passed tonight," she wrote, as quoted by Soaps.com. PageSix also confirmed.

"I am going to miss his eyes, his smile, his wit, his brain, his intelligence, his talent, his bravery, his laugh and his hugs. Dearest Jodi, dear Jackson, he's watching over you now from a place of pure joy and will always be your guide. But, I hate these goodbyes. Rest in peace, you marvelous, magnificent man."

Bryce's Cancer Battle Took a Difficult Turn View this post on Instagram

Bryce had been diagnosed with Stage 3 esophageal and stomach cancer back in 2025, and he'd credited catching it early as a major factor in his treatment, as reported by Soapoperanews. For a while, he shared encouraging updates with fans, reporting that he was on the mend. Arnaz revealed that his cancer had ultimately returned. Arnaz worked alongside Bryce in two separate projects, the independent film The Pack and the TV series Sons and Daughters.

From Daytime Royalty to Soap Icon: Scott Bryce's Family Legacy

Bryce came from daytime royalty. His father, actor Ed Bryce, spent years playing Bill Bauer on Guiding Light, and Scott followed a similar path into the soap opera world, as per his IMDb profile.

His run as Craig Montgomery became the role he was best known for, spanning three separate stints on As the World Turns between 1982 and 2008. Early in the role, he was paired on screen with Meg Ryan, who played Betsy Stewart at the time.

When Bryce exited the soap for good in February 2008, Jon Lindstrom stepped into the role of Craig by that December and continued through 2010. Over the character's long run, Hunt Block and Jeffrey Meek also took turns playing Craig. Bryce also spent a season playing Ed Crosby on One Life to Live from 2006 to 2007.

Beyond Daytime, Bryce Built a Broad Television Résumé

Bryce's résumé extended well past soap operas. He picked up recurring and guest roles across a range of primetime series, including Murphy Brown, The Facts of Life, ER, Law & Order, Reba, Sex and the City, Blue Bloods, The Blacklist, Homeland and 30 Rock.

Bryce is survived by his wife, actor Jodi Stevens, and their son, Jackson, according to SoapOperaNews.

When you’ve worn the same summer dresses and tank tops on repeat, a cute necklace can make them feel different without adding yet another outfit to your closet. Right now, Anthropologie is selling its Crystal Halo Necklace for just $21, down from $58. It comes in clear and sapphire, and both colors have sold out before, so now is a good time to snag your favorite while they’re back in stock.

It measures 15 inches long and is made from 14-karat gold-plated brass with cubic zirconia stones. It also closes with a convenient lobster clasp, and the shorter length keeps the crystals near the neckline where they can still be seen with crewneck shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. The gold-tone settings around each stone add a little extra shine, too, giving the necklace a sparkly look without being too formal for everyday outfits.

The necklace is small enough to pack for a trip without taking up much room in your suitcase, but eye-catching enough to work for lots of different vacation plans if you don’t want to bring a different necklace for every outfit. And since it pairs just as easily with a casual daytime look as with a wedding guest dress, you won’t have to worry about it going unused and sitting in your jewelry box until the next formal event.

One shopper said it “looks so expensive” and is “so pretty,” while another wrote, “It is much more beautiful in person than pictured.” A third reviewer also called the necklace “very pretty” and said it “adds just the right amount of interest at the neck.”

The clear version would look great with a button-down, a summer dress, or an all-black outfit, while sapphire would be especially cute with denim or navy. You could wear either one on its own with small earrings, or pair it with a longer gold chain for a layered look. The crystal design is also versatile enough to don year-round, so it won’t feel out of place in the fall and winter.

Irish rock band Thin Lizzy was on the way to making a name for themselves after "Whiskey in the Jar," with one of their underrated tracks, "Still in Love With You," tagged among fans as one of the most romantic yet heartbreaking ballads.

Released as part of their fourth studio album, Nightlife, "Still in Love With You" wasn't a success on the charts. In fact, it failed to enter any of the music charts when it was originally released by Thin Lizzy. It wasn't until 1986 that the track gained chart popularity when it was covered by the R&B/soul band Sade in 2011 for their compilation album. Their cover landed around No. 6 on the Smooth Jazz Airplay and No. 55 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

The original track by Thin Lizzy is considered an underrated gem among fans that became a live show favorite. "Still in Love With You" also played a pivotal role in securing a recording contract with PolyGram Records the summer it was released in 1974.

Leading up to the release of the track and the album, the band's founding guitarist Eric Bell left the band at the end of 1973 due to exhaustion from touring. He was briefly replaced by guitarist Gary Moore, who would also leave the band a few months later.

"Still in Love With You" is reported to have been a combination of frontman Phil Lynott's two songs, the ballad and his "I'll Help You See It Through," that he worked on for years. The ballad captured fan attention due to its themes of enduring love, longing, and persistence after heartbreak. Lynott's own personal experience with relationships was behind the song's inspiration, having once reported that his songs are often autobiographical.

When creating the track, it was originally meant as a duet between Lynott and Moore. Following Moore's departure, the track was only credited on the album to Lynott, and Brian Robertson was recruited as his replacement. The guitarist would refuse to re-record Moore's solo, feeling that he wouldn't be able to improve upon it. At the time, Robertson was 17 years old, with the band's manager having lied to the recording label, saying he had originally played the solo instead of Moore.

"Still in Love With You" became a signature track for Thin Lizzy and was played during live performances until they split in 1983. A landmark live version was recorded during their "Bad Reputation" tour for their 1978 Live and Dangerous album and clocked in at over seven minutes long. The band would reform for tribute tours in 2011, playing the ballad in honor of Lynott after he died in 1986.

Who is Shirley Ballas?

Born in the coastal town of Wallasey, England Shirley, 65, is a professional dancer. She began dancing at the age of seven. According to The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), Shirley is three time British Open to the World Latin American Champion, 10-time US Latin American Champion, and multiple-times British National Champion. “I won every major championship by the age of 22” worldwide, she recalled. Shirley stopped competing in 1996 but went on to become one of the top Ballroom and Latin teachers and judges in the world.

Shirley Ballas poses to promote 'DWTS: The Next Pro' (Disney/Maarten De Boer) Has Shirley Ballas been on TV before?

Yes, in her native Britain. Beginning in 2017, Ballas became famous across the pond when she replaced Len Goodman (also the respected DWTS judge, who passed away in 2023) as head judge of England’s Strictly Come Dancing. Shirley told the Guardian about her UK reality gig, “I think it’s got everything – it’s funny, it’s got glitz and glamour. You watch these people go through this emotional journey every single week and what you see is real. It’s not staged.” Shirley continues on Strictly and celebrated her ten-season show anniversary in 2025.

In January 2024, Shirley was eliminated and unmasked as the character “Rat” in The Masked Singer UK Season 5.

Also, viewers might remember Mark’s mom coaching and judging briefly on DWTS in the past.

Has Shirley Ballas been married?

Shirley was engaged at age 16 to her dance partner, British ballroom champion Nigel Tiffany, but it didn’t last. However, as Hello reported, she said they were still friends in a sweet 2018 social media post.

In 1980, at 18, Shirley married her dance partner Sammy Stopford. As Hello reported, during their four-year marriage, her eye wandered. "After winning major trophies with Sammy, something was missing in my life, and then, out of the blue, I met this gentleman named Corky Ballas from Houston, Texas, and I fell in love," she said. There were no hard feelings and Shirley stayed friendly with ex-husband Sammy.

The beauty married American ballroom dancer Corky in 1985 and they relocated to Houston, welcoming their only child, son Mark, there in 1986. Shirley, known as “The Queen of Latin,” and her husband were electrifying dance partners as well, becoming the 1996 Open to the World International Champions, 1995–1996 Open to the World British Champions, two-time British National Champions, and seven-time undefeated United States International Latin Champions.

But their marriage faltered. Shirley said that after she and Corky had separated, he became involved with his dance student, Kristina Rihanoff, according to The Mirror. The Ballases divorced in 2007.

As longtime DWTS fans know, Corky performed as a pro in seasons 7 and 11, expertly steering two older stars: iconic comedienne Cloris Leachman and The Brady Bunch mom Florence Henderson (the two later passed away). Both times, Corky competed against son Mark.

Is Shirley Ballas married now?

In 2019, Shirley said she would wed her boyfriend, British actor Danny Taylor. But she called off their engagement in 2023 and they split up completely in November 2024.

Speaking on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast in 2025, Shirley mused that she’s “married” to dance and added, “Every relationship has ended up being a disaster. With my last boyfriend I thought I’d found The One and that also didn’t work. I’m obsessed with what I am and with what I do.”

Is Shirley Ballas's son Mark Ballas?

Yes! Mark Ballas is indeed the son of Shirley Ballas. Mark recently told Parade about his mom, “She’s come from some hard knocks. She had to defy a lot of odds to get to where she is in her field. And I love that about her.”

Shirley has admitted that her busy dance schedule meant missing some of Mark’s childhood. As she told Hello! in 2024, "I wasn't there for measles, first days of school, I was away for five Christmases. I look back at that and think, 'Should I have stayed away?' But then I think, 'Okay, I was able to give a good living to take Mark to the places he wanted to go to in his life.'"

What can viewers expect from Mark and Shirley Ballas on DWTS: The Next Pro?

“My mom and I had a blast together,” Mark told CBS Mornings. He pointed out that so many DWTS pros owe a lot to Shirley. “She is one of the best. She coached me, Derek (Hough), Julianne (Hough), Pascha (Pashkov), Val (Chmerkovskiy), so many names that she’s coached over the years. She is really tough love. But I’ve been a [DWTS] pro for 20 years so we’re both looking at it the same way but we have different opinions. [The show will feature] lots of mother-son agreements and some cute disagreements. I think it should be fun.”

Is There a Trailer for Marshals Season 2?

Yes. See it here:

Why Are Pete Calvin and Belle Skinner Missing From the Trailer?

Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green) and Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel) are missing from the trailer. If you recall from the Season 1 finale, Calvin and Belle investigate a lead at a local house. While there, they see Tom Weaver's foreman fleeing. Before they can pursue, they gunmen open fire on them.

Are Logan Marshall-Green and Arielle Kebbel Leaving Marshals?

There's been no confirmation whether Marshall-Green, Kebbel, or any other cast member will be exiting the series ahead of Season 2.

What Happened to Pete and Belle in the Season 1 Finale?

In the Season 1 finale, Calvin and Belle investigate a lead at a local house. While there, they see Tom Weaver's foreman fleeing. Before they can pursue, they gunmen open fire on them.

When Does Marshals Season 2 Premiere?

A premiere date has yet to be announced for Season 2 of Marshals, but we do know it's on the all schedule. Check back here for updates.

Has Production Started?

Yes. Production on Season 2 began back in June.

What is Marshals about?

With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Kayce (Grimes) joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana. Kayce and his teammates—Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means)—must balance the high psychological cost of serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence with their duty to their families, which for Kayce includes his son Tate (Brecken Merrill) and his confidantes Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and Mo (Mo Brings Plenty) from the Broken Rock reservation.

Will Other Yellowstone Characters Appear?

It's unclear if we'll see any Yellowstone characters visiting Kayce in the new season. We know it's unlike Beth (Kelly Reilly) and RIp (Cole Hauser) will be visiting any time soon as they have their hands full down in Texas. Fingers crossed we'll see some old faces from the Bunkhouse or perhaps even Gator and his mouth-watering cooking.

We didn’t get to see much of the leader of the Broken Rock Indian Reservation in season 4. While his efforts to take back the Dutton land for his people seem to be on the back burner for now, it’s bound to resurface at some point.

Fun fact: Birmingham was a petrochemical engineer before he got into acting.

Mo Brings Plenty as Mo

Mo is Rainwater’s Everyman, serving as his driver and assistant and all things in between. This season he takes on a larger role as he helps Kayce on his vision quest. Brings Plenty has been upped to series regular for season 5.

If you've been side‑eyeing your living room lately, you're not alone. We're in an era where every square inch has to pull double or triple duty: office by day, movie lounge by night, and everything in between. The fastest way to make that chaos feel intentional is to anchor your space with one statement piece that's both calm and quietly cool. For a lot of us, that piece is a cozy, compact accent chair that doesn't scream for attention, but still steals the show.

What's rising to the top right now are soft swivel accent chairs with real texture and personality. Think sculpted curves, touchable jacquard or boucle‑style fabrics, and silhouettes that feel just as good from across the room as they do when you sink in with a book. The beauty of this trend is that it was basically made for small spaces: a single chair can define a reading nook, frame a window, or create a conversation corner without demanding an entire furniture rearrange.

Once you start looking, you'll see the same key details over and over again in the Gigi Swivel Textured Jacquard Anywhere Chair. Priced at $149.99, it's a low, lounge‑ready profile that lets you relax without feeling sloppy. A generous 24-by-32‑inch footprint that feels substantial but not bulky, so it layers easily into apartments, townhomes, or that tricky corner of an open‑concept main level. And, of course, a smooth swivel base so you can pivot between the TV, the coffee table, and the people you actually like hanging out with.

Texture is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this trend, too. A textured jacquard or woven fabric instantly makes a neutral chair feel designer-worthy, even if you're shopping at a budget‑friendly big-box store. It catches the light, hides everyday wear better than flat upholstery, and adds just enough dimension to play nicely with both minimalist decor and more maximal, pattern-happy rooms. Pair it with a soft throw, a small side table, and a warm lamp, and suddenly you've got a cozy corner that feels pulled from Pinterest instead of pushed against the wall.

If your goal is a modern, lived-in space that still feels elevated, a textured swivel-anywhere chair is one of those rare pieces that nails comfort, function, and style in one move, and your future self, laptop, and late-night scrolling sessions will all thank you.

Long before streaming playlists, John Paul Jones recorded one of the rarest songs of his post-Led Zeppelin career. Nearly two decades later, fans will finally hear it on major streaming platforms for the first time ever.

“Blooming Youth,” a haunting piece of traditional American roots music from Jones and old-time fiddler/singer-songwriter Rayna Gellert, was originally available only on CD. On July 31, it will enter the digital era and finally be available on streaming platforms.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

Jones, who remained a core member of Led Zeppelin from its formation in 1968 to its official disbanding in 1980 following the tragic death of drummer John Bonham, is a highly versatile multi-instrumentalist who has spent decades exploring everything from avant-garde and jazz to folk and traditional American roots music.

Released in October 2008, "Blooming Youth" appeared on Awake, My Soul / Help Me to Sing, a companion record to Awake, My Soul, a documentary about Sacred Harp hymns. Gellert and Jones were invited to record their own interpretation of the traditional Sacred Harp hymns dating back to the 19th century.

The result was a hauntingly beautiful folk song rooted in Appalachian and early American hymnody.

“A tribute album by default, Help Me to Sing opens and closes with the otherworldly, sinner-in-crisis drone of ‘Blooming Youth, 176b,’ by Rayna Gellert and John Paul Jones,” Pitchfork wrote in its review of the "excellent" album at the time.

According to Led Zeppelin News, a “little-noticed copy” of the song has been circulating on YouTube for quite a while (see above), and the streaming release of both the companion and soundtrack albums coincides with the film's update and re-release.

Per the official synopsis, Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp “is the first feature documentary to explore the history, music, and traditions of Sacred Harp singing, the oldest distinctively American form of music. This haunting music has survived over 200 years tucked away from sight in the rural deep South and occurs mostly at community singing events, which typically include anywhere from a dozen to a couple of hundred singers.”

In July 1958, Eddie Cochran, one of the golden age of rock and roll’s greatest legends, released “Summertime Blues,” a rockabilly classic he co-wrote at 19. 

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

A decade later—and in the dead of winter—Blue Cheer released their own version of the song. Transforming Cochran’s polished classic into a notoriously distorted, proto-metal cover, the San Francisco band then had a sizzler on their hands. 

More than that, though, Far Out reported that their gargantuan cover was the very first heavy metal song to ever break into the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“We were outraged at society in general, and we were expressing it in a way that had never been done,” bassist-slash-vocalist Dickie Peterson told the Albuquerque Journal in 2008, per The Washington Post, about how the trio channeled their rage into a mix of blues and acid rock music.

Widely recognized for its wall-of-sound volume and raw distortion, Blue Cheer’s “Summertime Blues” peaked at No. 14 on the survey. It was a feat that not only boosted its parent album, Vincebus Eruptum, to No. 11 on the Billboard 200, but also helped usher heavy metal into the mainstream. 

Far Out also shared that the turning point for the subgenre included the arrival of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple in 1968, but also Steppenwolf enshrining the term in “Born to Be Wild” with their lyric, "Heavy metal thunder," and, of course, the explosion of Blue Cheer’s landmark cover.

“It was, for all intents and purposes, a major leap forward and a template for the genre’s future,” Far Out wrote, “showcasing the pace and headiness that many metal stalwarts would soon claim as their own.”

Cochran’s original did well for itself, too. Climbing to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Summertime Blues” made history as the singer-songwriter’s first Top 10 hit. It seemed like just about every band who took a stab at covering it had success. The Beach Boys in 1962, The Who in 1970, and even Alan Jackson in 1994 all proved the song’s versatility and ability to define whatever era it was released in. 

But there was nothing quite like Blue Cheer’s fuzzed-out raw energy of the track. By replacing traditional rock melodies with towering distortion, thunderous bass, and aggressive drums, Peterson, Leigh Stephens, and Paul Whaley paved the way for bands like Black Sabbath and countless other heavy rock acts.

“Primarily, we were a loud, straight-into-you rock ‘n’ roll band, man,” Peterson told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2007, per the Los Angeles Times. “Our whole goal was to make music a physical experience as well as an audio experience.”

Music experts and historians often cite Blue Cheer’s version of the track as one of the very first heavy metal songs ever recorded, pushing the boundaries and conventions of rock with louder amps, longer guitar solos, and more chaotic riffs, then essentially laying the groundwork for heavy metal as it would soon be defined. 

When Rolling Stone then used the term “heavy metal” in a 1968 review of Blue Cheer’s album, the outlet all but cemented the band’s legacy as heavy metal pioneers. Just proves that sometimes all it takes to spark a music revolution is one teenager’s frustrations with a summer job.

One of the most innovative and influential musicians in rock history is celebrating a birthday today: Roger McGuinn, frontman and founding member of the Byrds, is now 84 years old.

Born on July 13, 1942, McGuinn helped to launch the folk rock genre when he convinced the other members of the Byrds to record an electric cover of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man." Though the song was met with controversy among folk purists when it was released in 1965, the Byrd's version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" went all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, thanks in no small part to the revolutionary jingle jangle of McGuinn's Rickenbacker 12-string guitar.

“I still didn't know what an electric 12-string was, but when the Beatles released ‘A Hard Day's Night,’ I had to find out how they were getting that sound,” McGuinn told Guitar Player. “So we made a reconnaissance run to a movie theater that was showing A Hard Day's Night and took notes."

“Ringo [Starr] had Ludwig drums and John had that little Rickenbacker 325," McGuinn continued. "George [Harrison] played a Gretsch most of the time, but he also had a Rickenbacker 360, which looked like a six-string, until he turned sideways and you could see six extra tuning pegs emerging from behind the headstock, like a classical guitar. Once I realized what it was, I traded in my Gibson acoustic 12 and bought a Rickenbacker 360/12."

McGuinn went on to say that he "practiced eight hours a day on that Rick,” developing his signature, pioneering style, which ended up having a major impact on countless musicians to come (from Tom Petty to Peter Buck to Mike Campbell and beyond).

"I'll never forget hearing 'Mr. Tambourine Man' for the first time on the radio — the feeling of that Rickenbacker 12-string guitar and those incredible harmonies," Petty wrote for a Rolling Stone article which ranked the Byrds at #45 on a list of the '100 Greatest Artists of All Time.' "Roger McGuinn told me he took that guitar sound from A Hard Day's Night, but McGuinn was a banjo player, and he played the Rickenbacker in this rolling, fingerpicking style — no one had really tried it before."

"All of folk rock — for lack of a better term — descends directly from the music the Byrds made," Petty continued. "They were certainly the first to introduce any sort of country element into rock music. As if all that wasn't enough, the Byrds spurred on a good degree of Bob Dylan's popularity, too. And not to be too shallow, but they also were just the best-dressed band around. They had those great clothes and hairdos. That counted for something even then."

Speaking of Dylan, McGuinn's post-Byrds solo career would include plenty of collaborations with the iconic musician, including the soundtrack of the Sam Peckinpah's 1973 movie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. He also joined Dylan in 1975 and 1976 as part the legendary Rolling Thunder Revue.

"I first met Dylan in the early days of The Byrds," McGuinn told Classic Rock in 2009.

"He really hadn’t changed by the time he asked me to do the Rolling Thunder tour with him," McGuinn continued. "He was often a visitor at my house in Malibu. He liked the house a lot and wanted to rent it from me. One time we were up there and he said: 'I wanna do something different, man.' When I asked what he meant, he said: 'I dunno, maybe something like a circus.' Six months later I was in New York and bumped into him in the Village. That’s when he invited me to go on the tour. He wanted to revive the spirit of Greenwich Village with Rolling Thunder. It was like a travelling artists’ colony. There were about 300 people on the road with him."

While McGuinn's long (and still-going) career would continue to evolve, even taking a Gram Parsons-influenced detour into country music, his most lasting legacy will always be the music he created with the Byrds. As Petty wrote, "Those original Byrds really changed the world in that short time they were together."

Possibly no singer is more emblematic of the classic rock era than Robert Plant. Nobody truly embodied the rockstar image of the '70s quite like Plant, who absolutely devours the stage with his presence, charisma, and vocal prowess.

Now that he's in his later years, Plant has been adapting his classic sound into a more stripped back, folksy, and down to Earth style. His shows have turned from raucous and flashy to quiet and contemplative. Having been to one of his newer performances, it's a unique experience that is both different yet equally masterful. He is still able to command the stage just as well as he did back in the '70s.

At a recent one of these shows, Plant decided to perform one of his biggest hits, "Black Dog," and give it a humorous spin that the crowd was absolutely loving.

View this post on Instagram

Plant took time during the instrumental breaks in the verses of the song to poke fun at his lyrics, and laugh along with the audience. Seeing a musician not take themselves seriously in such a candid way is really hilarious, especially with such a beloved song like "Black Dog."

Fans were super into the performance, both finding it humorous and impressive. Taking to the comments, they left their support.

"Robert looks to be having great fun…. He deserves every bit of joy, he has given so much to us."

"The old lion still roars. 🦁"

"Love how he's chatting between verses!😂😍😍😍He's the best, looking and sounding sooo good!"

Every day that we still have these greats walking among us is a great day for music. The songs will continue to evolve as the singers do, and we will no doubt have many more interesting versions of classic music to come.

Few songs capture the easygoing sound of 1970s AM radio quite like Ozark Mountain Daredevils' 1975 hit "Jackie Blue."

Released as a single in February 1975 from the band's album It'll Shine When It Shines, the dreamy soft rock tune climbed all the way to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 1 on both the Cash Box and Record World singles charts. It remains the Ozark Mountain Daredevils' signature song and one of the defining radio staples of the decade.

Related: 1961 Classic, Reimagined 26 Years Later, Ranks Tops of the Greatest Summer Songs of All Time

With its shimmering melody, Larry Lee's gentle lead vocal and instantly recognizable "Ooh, Jackie Blue" refrain, the song sounded unlike almost anything else the Springfield, Missouri, band had recorded. Band member Steve Cash immediately recognized its potential, later saying it had "something" and a hook that could make it a radio hit, while fellow member Jerry Mills believed its straightforward structure simply sounded great coming through a car radio.

Ironically, the song almost told a very different story.

Drummer Lee originally wrote "Jackie Blue" about a man he knew, a bartender and drug dealer who seemed to exist only at night. In bassist Michael "Supe" Granda's book "It Shined: The Saga of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils," Lee recalled telling the story of the bartender to legendary record producer Glyn Johns, who immediately objected.

"Glyn just said, 'No. No. No, mate. Jackie Blue has to be a girl. Now, you and Cash go back there and change it.'" said Lee. "So Steve and I went into one of the other studios with a piano in it, where we just knocked some new lyrics out in about thirty minutes. Instead of some drugged-out guy, we changed Jackie to a reclusive girl.""

Lee and Steve Cash stepped away and completely reworked the lyrics in about half an hour, transforming Jackie into the mysterious woman listeners have imagined ever since. The finished song paints a portrait of someone living in her own private world, with lyrics about dreams, loneliness and quiet independence.

Granda added, "When the rest of us heard the new lyrics for the first time, our collective jaw hit the floor … the new lyrics were great, and Larry sang them wonderfully."

The change proved to be a pivotal one.

"Jackie Blue" became the band's biggest crossover success, introducing the Ozark Mountain Daredevils to millions of listeners who may never have heard their country rock roots. The single's success was fueled by heavy radio airplay, particularly in markets like Baltimore and Chicago, before spreading across the country.

Yet the song's popularity also became something of a double-edged sword.

Related: Music Legend’s Daughter Included in Recording Academy’s Unprecedented Move

According to band members, A&M Records hoped they would continue chasing the same polished pop sound. Granda later joked that the label wanted "Jackie Green" and "Jackie Brown," while Lee recalled executives pushing for an entire album of songs that sounded like "Jackie Blue."

Instead, the band largely stayed true to its eclectic blend of country rock, folk and bluegrass influences. Although they never matched the chart success of "Jackie Blue," the song has continued to find new audiences for decades through classic rock and soft rock radio.

More than 50 years later, its wistful melody, unforgettable chorus and enigmatic central character still make it one of the most enduring songs of the 1970s. Whether listeners know every word or simply recognize that opening "Ooh, Jackie Blue," it's the kind of song that instantly transports them back to another era of radio.

Luckily, Walmart is working hard this summer to help keep those costs in check. The retailer just marked down dozens of back-to-school essentials to $1 and under, making it easier to stock up for less. 

Since these finds tend to sell out as the school season approaches, it's worth shopping sooner rather than later. Whether you're buying supplies for one child or several, these affordable picks can help you check everything off your list without stretching your budget. There are great options for every age group too, including notebooks, paper, erasers, markers, crayons, and glue sticks. Shop them now while they’re still in stock!
