Sometimes rock stars are going to geek out just like we do, and with an event as big as this one, it makes sense someone like Paul McCartney would have to see it. Of course, I'm talking about Bon Jovi's return to the stage after lead singer Jon Bon Jovi's massive vocal surgery.

The band haven't been active since 2022, when Bon Jovi needed to undergo a major vocal surgery after his voice was beginning to decay. The recent set of shows at Madison Square Garden have been the band's first shows in a long time, and fans have been absolutely delighted.

As it turns out, "fans" includes former Beatle Paul McCartney, who was spotted in attendance at one of the recent Bon Jovi shows in New York.

It doesn’t get more iconic than watching @Bon Jovi at @The Garden and looking over to see the one and only Sir Paul McCartney enjoying the show. What a legendary moment! #bonjovi #nyc #msg #paulmccartney #concerts

Not only is he there, but he looks pretty into it! Pointing on beat with the song while also singing along with the crowd is super relatable. It's awesome to see that such a legend can let go and enjoy himself at a show like this.

Fans felt similarly, being super charmed by seeing McCartney let go and just be a fan in the crowd like the rest of us. Taking to the comments, they shared their thoughts.

"That’s a big compliment having Sir Paul McCartney at your concert, and his wife is totally jamming along to what ever song is being played."

"You don’t even know how lovely and important this is to me. I grew up absolutely loving the Beatles, especially Paul McCartney along with Bon Jovi right next to them. This is amazing!"

"And he's actually watching the concert instead of watching it through the lens of his phone."

Bon Jovi's return has been a musical event for all, and the celebration shows no signs of stopping. We're lucky to have such an iconic group back in action.

At some Taco Bell locations, customers may notice a few familiar toppings missing from their favorite menu items. Several restaurants have temporarily stopped serving certain fresh ingredients as health officials investigate a growing outbreak of cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness caused by the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis.

The outbreak has spread across multiple states, with officials investigating hundreds of confirmed cases and hospitalizations. While contaminated fresh produce is considered a possible source, health officials have not identified a specific food item, supplier or Taco Bell location as the cause of the illnesses.

Taco Bell

Taco Bell Locations Are Removing Popular Fresh Toppings

Some Taco Bell restaurants have temporarily pulled fresh ingredients, including:

• Lettuce
• Pico de gallo
• Guacamole
• Cilantro-onion blend

Signs posted at some locations state that the ingredients are unavailable due to a nationwide recall, and affected menu items are being served without those toppings. Reports of missing ingredients have been especially noted at some locations in Michigan and surrounding areas, though Taco Bell has not released a complete list of affected restaurants.

The timing comes as health officials track a nationwide rise in cyclosporiasis cases. The parasite is often associated with contaminated raw produce or water and can spread when microscopic amounts of feces contaminate food during growing, harvesting or processing.

What to Know About the Cyclospora Outbreak and Symptoms

Cyclosporiasis can cause uncomfortable digestive symptoms that may appear about a week after someone consumes contaminated food or water. According to health officials, symptoms can include:

• Frequent, watery diarrhea that can sometimes be severe
• Stomach cramps, bloating and gas
• Nausea and loss of appetite
• Fatigue and body aches
• Occasional low-grade fever

Unlike many short-lived stomach bugs, cyclosporiasis symptoms can last for weeks or return after appearing to improve if the infection is not treated. Severe cases may require medical care, and doctors can diagnose the illness with a stool test and prescribe medication when needed.

To reduce the risk of foodborne illness, health officials recommend washing fresh produce thoroughly under running water, keeping preparation surfaces clean and cooking produce when possible. Washing can help remove contaminants, though it may not eliminate all risk from cyclospora parasites.

For now, Taco Bell customers may want to check their local restaurant before ordering if they typically add fresh toppings to their meals. The investigation into the broader outbreak remains ongoing.

"What's your favorite scary movie?" is just one iconic line from Scream, now celebrating a 30-year milestone.

Its director, Wes Craven, helmed a number of other horror classics, including A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). And now, Paramount Pictures has closed a deal for the U.S. rights to his screenplay that kicked off the franchise about the infamous Freddy Krueger (portrayed by Robert Englund).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new Nightmare on Elm Street will hail from Paramount’s new genre label, Paramount Primal, led by the producers of recent hits such as Barbarian and Friendship. The U.S. rights are reportedly being licensed from the Craven estate, which includes Craven’s widow Iya Labunka and Craven’s son Jonathan Craven.

“We look forward to bringing the world of Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street to a new and completely engaged generation of fans,” said Labunka in a statement. “We know that Wes would have been thrilled to see how horror is taking its long overdue place in the cultural canon. We can’t wait for all of us to sit together in a dark theatre – around the campfire of today – as the next chapter of the Nightmare story unfolds.”

New Line Cinema, and later corporate owner Warner Bros. previously held all the rights to Nightmare on Elm Street as the company made the original movie in 1984. Back in the '80s, the original launched a lucrative franchise for New Line Cinema, which was just an independent film company at the time and thus earned the nickname “the house that Freddy built," THR also noted on Monday, July 13.

As fans well know, the numerous installments center on Krueger, a child killer who was burned alive by parents but later returns in victims' dreams. No details on the upcoming movie have been revealed, but THR says it's been described as being “set in the world of A Nightmare on Elm Street, based on the original screenplay.”

The American Heart Association recommends getting at least 150 minutes of moderate (conversational pace) or 75 minutes of vigorous (barely able to talk) intensity aerobic exercise weekly. Oh, and don't forget to add the two strength-training sessions per week. If you're busy, you may wonder where you're supposed to find the time for all of that. Some moves offer a two-for-one special, combining cardio and strength. The burpee is one of those moves.

"A standard burpee starts by squatting down, placing your hands on the floor and kicking your feet back into a plank position," Denise Chakoian, a certified fitness trainer and the owner of Core Cycle and LaGree Fitness, tells Parade. "You then return your feet to the squat position and finish with a jump upward. Because several movements are combined, burpees work multiple muscle groups at the same time."

Burpees are a staple in HIIT fitness classes, but Chakoian loves that they don't require any equipment. You can do them on the hotel floor while on vacation (well, preferably only if you're on the first floor) or at a park. Plus, she says it's possible to modify burpees, so they're accessible to people at any fitness level.

That said, just because you can do a burpee every day doesn't mean that you should. What happens to your body when you do burpees every day, though? Fitness professionals say you may experience both quick and long-term gains, as well as pain. Here's what to know about doing burpees every day, including the ideal form.

What Happens to Your Body When You Do Burpees Every Day

Doing burpees daily has short and long-term pros and cons. "Burpees raise your heart rate quickly, making them an effective cardiovascular exercise," Chakoian says. "They also strengthen the legs, core, chest, shoulders and arms all at once."

The more consistent you are with burpees, the more likely you are to see improvements in your cardiovascular fitness and functional strength (and muscle size and definition). However, Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D., RD, a fitness and nutrition advisor for Garage Gym Reviews, says you may start to notice improvements within days to a couple of weeks of doing burpees every day.

"In a single session, burpees challenge your heart and lungs," he tells Parade. "Within a few weeks, you may notice you don’t get winded as quickly."

Dr. Mohr notes that when your cardiovascular fitness is better, you can walk uphill, carry groceries, play with your kids and climb stairs more easily. Burpees are also a calorie-scorcher.

"They involve many muscles and elevate your heart rate," he explains. "Over time, consistent calorie expenditure can support weight management when paired with balanced nutrition and adequate recovery."

Consistency is key, but you have to start somewhere. A couple of days in a row of burpees may give you the fuel you need to keep going because Dr. Mohr says it fosters a sense of accomplishment.

As you continue to check "burpees" off your to-do list every day for several months or more, you may notice even bigger benefits.

"Regular burpee training can improve overall fitness and endurance, helping people stay active and independent as they age," Chakoian explains. "Maintaining a consistent exercise routine can support weight management and contribute to better long-term health."

That said, doing burpees every day isn't always the best idea. She warns that you may experience soreness at first, and it can make daily tasks and other workouts more difficult. Chakoian says not taking a recovery day here or there can lead to overuse discomfort in the hands, wrists, shoulders, knees and lower back. Your body should adapt to the movement, and the soreness should taper. But sometimes it lingers or gets so bad that your body forces you to take some time off from burpees and all exercise.

"Performing the same high-impact movement for years may increase the risk of chronic joint irritation or overuse injuries," Chakoian says. "Lack of exercise variety can create muscle imbalances and limit overall fitness development."

How To Start Doing Burpees

Dr. Mohr says burpee newbies should focus on quality over quantity and progress from there. He offered a sample plan to up your burpee game within a month.

During the first two weeks, he suggests learning the movement. Instead of doing burpees daily, he recommends doing them two to three days per week. Sessions should involve two to three sets of five modified burpees (nix the jumping and step back to the plank position instead) with 60 to 90 seconds of rest in between sets.

You'll work on increasing volume during the third and fourth weeks, and he suggests doing three to four sets of five to 10 burpees. You can begin adding a small jump if you're comfortable, and increase your speed as you maintain control.

"Once standard burpees feel comfortable, you can try more progressions," he says.

What does "comfortable" mean with burpees, though? Dr. Mohr recommends waiting to progress your burpees until:

• You can maintain good form with your current workout
• You don’t have lingering joint pain
• Your reps look consistent from start to finish

If you check all of those boxes, some of his favorite burpee progressions include:

• Adding a push-up at the bottom
• Adding a tuck jump at the top
• Increasing reps, such as doing 20 to 30 burpees total
• Doing burpees as an interval workout (30 seconds of work with 30 seconds of rest)

Some people shouldn't do burpees at all. "People with knee, shoulder, wrist or back injuries may need modifications or should avoid them altogether," Chakoian says. "Those with certain heart conditions should talk with a healthcare provider before doing high-intensity exercises like burpees."

The Ideal Burpee Form, According to Fitness Professionals

If you're going to do burpees every day (or consistently), you'll want to maintain good form to get the best results and avoid injuries. "Start by squatting down and placing your hands on the floor with your feet about shoulder-width apart," Chakoian advises. "Kick or step your feet back into a plank while keeping your core engaged and your back flat."

From there, you'll want to bring your feet back underneath you and stand up with control before finishing with a small jump (optional).

"Focus on smooth movements and good posture rather than rushing through the exercise," Chakoian stresses. "Older adults, beginners or individuals with balance problems may benefit from starting with slower or lower-impact versions...It is perfectly fine to step back instead of jumping at first."

No Costco trip is complete without a stop at the food court, and now, there’s a new menu item getting plenty of attention.

Months after a testing phase, Costco has officially rolled out its latest entrée nationwide.

After a long day of shopping, customers can now grab chicken strips on their way out of the warehouse.

The new item appears to have passed with flying colors, joining fan favorites like pizza slices, frozen yogurt, hot dogs and ice cream cones.

Instagrammer Costco Savvy said there was "no way" she "was leaving without trying them," telling her followers that each order comes with 5 crispy chicken breast tenders that are served with a dipping sauce.

View this post on Instagram

"They're crispy on the outside and definitely filling," she noted of the $6.99 meal that's equally as perfect for adults on-the-go as it is for the littles, as one noted, "Ooo this is a great option for my kids! I’m surprised they’ve only started offering these."

The reception was overwhelmingly positive, but of course, Costco wasn't going to roll it out to the masses until it was perfect.

"They’re honestly really good!!! I was skeptical at first - but they have a lot of flavor. Amazing price for what you get too!" one commented.

"I thought they were delish," someone echoed, as another chimed in, "We just got these today and they were honestly pretty good."

Shoppers were also impressed with the size of the golden tenders, emphasizing that everything is bigger at Costco.

"Those chicken tenders look huge lol," someone wrote, with the account noting it was "enough for everyone."

Another influencer, TastesLovely, also commented that the "strips are BIG," and despite waiting 20 minutes for her order (the demand is clearly there as she noted everyone was ordering them), she left pleased, noting, "thick and meaty, light breading, great seasoning."

The dipping sauce is also very generous, with TastesLovely noting it is 'VERY good' and tastes like Chick-fil-A sauce.

"Solid high protein, budget-friendly addition on the menu," she summed it up.

It's safe to say that these are already a hit among Costco shoppers, so next time you find yourself stopping by the warehouse giant, be sure to give them a try!

Nothing beats a track that can instantly get your toes tapping and shoulders moving, and even nearly four decades later, The Whispers' "Rock Steady" accomplishes just that.

The track, written by Babyface in just 24 hours—and effectively kicking off his and L.A. Reid's production careers—was officially released as a single on June 13, 1987, as the lead song on the group's 18th platinum-selling studio album, Just Gets Better With Time. It became a smash record and remains The Whispers' only Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 7.

Upon its release, the groovy funk-infused track soared to the No. 1 spot on the Hot R&B chart and became one of the biggest pop crossover hits of the decade.

But it almost went differently. The Whispers initially wanted to pass on the song as the lead single, favoring another Babyface record, "In the Mood," but according to reports, the label insisted they release "Rock Steady" instead (which got its name from a Rok Steady keyboard stand housed in the young up-and-coming producer's apartment at the time).

In an interview clip, founding member Wallace Scott, 82, provided the "incredible" story of how the song officially came to be. "We were in the studio one night, and we said to both of them, man, we need the follow-up to 'And the Beat Goes On,'" he recalled. The response surprised them when they were told to come back the very next day, and a new song would be waiting for them.

"Lo and behold, when they came back to the studio, they had 'Rock Steady'—24 hours later. We said, 'Wait a minute. This can't be real,'" Scott continued.

Fans hopped into the comments section of the video, shared via Instagram, to praise the group's enduring, timeless classics. "The Whispers got them Cookout and Block Party classics! 🙏🏾" one exclaimed, while another said, "The whispers got hitsss on hitssss in their discovery. im not sure why is rock steady is their only top 10 song. They fire😩 🔥."

"The Whispers don’t get enough respect for how fire they were. To this day I still put people onto their music 💪🏾," a third added.

The soul-R&B vocal group, comprising original members Wallace and his twin brother Walter Scott (who died in 2025), Nicholas Caldwell, Marcus Hutson, and Gordy Harmon, is also known for such massive hits as "And the Beat Goes On," "Lady," "It's a Love Thing," "Just Gets Better With Time," "Keep On Lovin' Me," and many more.

Dylan Sprayberry became notably known for his role in the MTV supernatural series, Teen Wolf, and is now opening up about how Scientology helped him during his substance abuse journey.

The 28-year-old actor posted a video on Instagram on Sunday, July 13, talking about his experience getting off drugs and coming clean to fans that he is now a Scientologist.

“Lately I’ve been posting some really cool informational videos from the Scientology Instagram account and the Scientology-affiliated accounts on my Instagram Story and there have been some people who have been curious,” Sprayberry said in a video. “I am a Scientologist. I’ve been a Scientologist for three years now and it’s been an epic experience for me and it’s been so fantastic.”

Sprayberry adds that he was originally introduced to the Church of Scientology after having gotten "clean and sober" off drugs five years ago. The actor explains he got on drugs when he was a teen due to a "ton of anxiety and depression." After getting clean, Sprayberry still felt something was missing.

“I was having this feeling where it’s like, ‘OK I’m sober now I’m really proud of myself. I do feel the difference of being off drugs,’” he recalled. “But I started to think back on my life and the decisions that I’ve made.”

He adds that he had "numbed" himself for 10 years and has to confront it. When introduced to Scientology, he explained, "The first thing that you do as a Scientologist — when you start doing your services — is something called the purification rundown," and called it a form of detox to get rid of the toxins for good.

The Teen Wolf star says L. Ron Hubbard’s book The Way to Happiness has been a "huge realization" on creating happiness for himself. He adds that he's "doing great" as he's also expecting his first child with his wife, Pruette Karl.

Fans on Instagram had mixed feelings about the actor's news. While many applaud him for finding his way and getting clean, they are also wary of him choosing Scientology after years of reported scandals in Hollywood.

"Real talk. Takes a lot of guts to be this honest about addiction and mental health. Mad respect for the 5 years clean!," said another.

"Sorry Brother, I'm not unfollowing or nothing, but Scientology is not the way. But I am grateful for you that it helped you out of addiction. But Christ is the only way to a better way, in my personal conclusion," said one fan.

Sprayberry rose to fame as young Clark Kent in the 2013 blockbuster Man of Steel. He became a fan favorite as the character Liam Dunbar in Teen Wolf from 2014 until 2017. His last on-screen role was in 2023's Baby Blue and Teen Wolf: The Movie.

Pigface not only redefined what a traditional band could be but also added a major milestone to its legacy after being recognized as one of the greatest supergroups in rock history.

Revolver magazine highlighted 12 bands that embody the true concept of a supergroup. Composed of highly influential musicians and acclaimed solo artists, these acts have left an undeniable mark on the world of rock and metal.

With Pigface making the rankings, the band became known for its intense live performances and ever-changing lineup.

Introduced as a "revolving door collective," meaning the band had no fixed lineup and musicians could join or leave the project, the band was formed in 1990 by founders Martin Atkins of post punk legend Public Image Ltd (PiL) and William Rieflin of The Blackouts, both of whom were members of Ministry."

Created to break away from traditional band structures during The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste tour, the duo wanted to unite experimental musicians in a collaborative project free from the limitations of a conventional band.

Throughout the band's career, Pigface released six main studio albums along with several live and remix albums.

For its debut studio album, Gub, released in 1991, the lineup featured founders Atkins and Rieflin alongside fellow Ministry member Paul Barker. Additional contributors included William Tucker of My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Steve Albini, who served as the album's recording engineer.

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Pigface member at the 1999 MTV Music Video Awards

As for the vocalists, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor joined for the song "Suck," Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy appeared on the opening track "Tapeworm," En Esch of KMFDM performed on the German language track "War Ich Nicht," David Yow of The Jesus Lizard appeared on "The Bushmaster," while Chris Connelly contributed to multiple tracks.

For its subsequent albums and collaborative recordings, Pigface brought together more than 10 musicians at a time, ultimately featuring over 100 contributing artists such as Trent Reznor, Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys, Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Danny Carey of Tool and many more.

According to Atkins, the band's unconventional setup wasn't driven by a secret formula. Instead, everyone embraced improvisation and unpredictability because they believed spontaneity made the project more creative and enjoyable.

“I think we’re pretty good at this now,” he told Now Toronto, adding, “In early Pigface we questioned everything, and one of the things we questioned was rehearsing. The formula at first was that there was no formula, so we just got on a bus and the first 10 shows we did, opening for the Butthole Surfers, we didn’t know what we were doing, and we thought that was fun.”

After a series of on-again and off-again activities, the supergroup launched its first full-scale U.S. tour in 2019 for its first full-scale U.S. tour in 14 years.

Written by Mick Jaggerand Keith Richards as part of their Jagger-Richards songwriting partnership, though largely written solely by Jagger, "Sympathy for the Devil" was recorded by The Rolling Stones as the opening track for their 1968 album, Beggars Banquet.

Jagger drew inspiration from many sources to sing as "the devil" boasting about his role in numerous tragedies throughout history. Some of the atrocities listed in the lyrics of the over 6-minute song are the trial and crucifixion of Christ, the Hundred Years War, the execution of the Romanov family, and the assassinations of both JFK Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. In an interview about the songwriting, Jagger said:

"It's a very long historical figure – the figures of evil and figures of good – so it is a tremendously long trail he's made as personified in this piece."

The Rolling Stones were already familiar with controversy before the release of Beggars Banquet due to their sexually forward lyrics. However, with "Sympathy for the Devil," claims that the band dabbled in Satanism were brought back into the media spotlight. Rumors and warnings from religious groups that the Stones were devil worshippers and a corrupting influence upon impressionable audiences were significantly heightened in part due to the song.

Of the song and the band's public perception in 1971, Richards said:

"Before, we were just innocent kids out for a good time, they're saying, 'They're evil, they're evil.' Oh, I'm evil, really? So that makes you start thinking about evil ... What is evil? Half of it, I don't know how many people think of Mick as the devil or as just a good rock performer or what? There are black magicians who think we are acting as unknown agents of Lucifer and others who think we are Lucifer. Everybody's Lucifer."

However, despite the controversies, "Sympathy for the Devil" has received critical acclaim. The Washington Postcalled the track The Stones' "ode to madness." To help himself focus while under the influence, Hunter S. Thompson famously played the song repetitively hundreds of times during his 1971 drug-induced road trip to Las Vegas. Subsequently, the song appears numerous times in Fear and Loathing Las Vegas.

By the time 1996 rolled around, we as a society were fully immersed in peak "Grrrl Power" culture. Shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer were dominating ratings while bands and artists like Sleater-Kinney, Tracy Chapman, and Sarah McLachlan ruled the airwaves. And there is no denying that Fiona Apple was integral to that time period and the "Third-Wave Feminist" movement.

When her album Tidal debuted, no one was expecting the ferocity or intensity coming from such a young talent. By 1997, a year after the song debuted, "Criminal" spent 20 weeks on the chart, ultimately peaking at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100. Even thirty years later, it has endured as a masterpiece.

But what you may not know is that her biggest mainstay contribution, hailed as one of the most prolific modern feminist songs, was whipped up in 45 minutes at the tender age of 17 to appease some record executives. As she was polishing off her debut album, Apple’s label, Sony Music, asked her for a “more obvious” first single. In an act of what would be the first of many defiances, Apple penned the iconic song and took it as far as it could go.

When she shot the music video with Mark Romanek, she explicitly sought a more overt sexual edge to the visuals, explaining that she did it to take back control of the narrative that she had to use her sexuality to get gains in her career. The video shows her in various stages of undress among bare-minimum and half-naked men, which serves as a commentary on using sexuality as a weapon.

In an interview with Rolling Stone in January 1998, Refinery29 reported Apple opened up about her gaunt appearance in the video, explaining she developed an eating disorder following her rape at age 12. “It wasn’t about getting thin, it was about getting rid of the bait that was attached to my body,” she said.

She also made unapologetic waves with a profanity-laden speech at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards after winning Best New Artist in a Video for “Sleep to Dream.”

“What I want to say is, everybody out there that’s watching — everybody that's watching this world — this world is bulls—t,” she boldly proclaimed. “You shouldn’t model your life about what you think that we think is cool and what we’re wearing and what we’re saying and everything. Go with yourself. Go with yourself.”

And in case you needed to be even more impressed, Vice reports that Apple whipped that haunting song up at just the tender age of 14.

How It Became a Feminist Anthem

All of these dramatic and, more importantly, evocative moments, combined with the energy surrounding them, turned what feels like a "sexy, sultry" song into a feminist anthem. Throughout Tidal, Far Out Magazinenotes Apple shows off her lyrical prowess enough to really make listeners look beyond the lascivious nature of her words and imagery.

“I’m treating the audience that is watching this video the same way the character in the song treats a man: ‘Look at me, look how pretty I am. I don’t have to give you anything else because look how pretty I am. And look how successful I am, look how much power I can get just by letting this light shine on me in a certain way,'” the outlet reports she said.

Though Apple has not chased the same mainstream commercial success later in her career, she has still hit many milestones as an artist, including a 90-word album title that earned her a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Why It's Perfect for Meal Prep

Many Costco fans love the convenience factor of this new deli find. Fans describe the bowl as a macro-friendly grab-and-go meal that requires no cooking. Others say the flavor is fairly mild on its own, so they add hot sauce, avocado or salsa to customize it. Bonus? Costco has all of those things.

For busy families, the biggest advantage is flexibility. You can eat it cold straight from the container, split it into individual lunch portions or pair it with extra greens for a larger dinner.

Costco has also been expanding its deli offerings beyond the protein bowl. Shoppers have recently spotted new prepared foods including Italian Sausage Pasta and Mango Salmon Ceviche. Those join a growing lineup of ready-to-eat options designed for quick meals at home.

And if you're already making a Costco run, many members still pair deli finds with the warehouse's fan-favorite food court items for an easy family meal. While the food court has delicious options, it does not offer very many high-fiber, high-protein, low-fat options. I know I'll be grabbing one of these protein bowls to chow down at the food court the next time we stop.

At around $16.99 per package, the new Chicken & Grain Protein Bowl isn't the cheapest item in the deli case. But if it truly stretches to four meals, the cost per serving looks much more attractive—especially for shoppers trying to save time on weekday lunches.

For Costco fans looking for a grab-and-go meal with plenty of protein and enough food to last several days, this oversized bowl is the ideal pick.

Following lead singer Bon Scott's untimely death in 1980, Australian rock band AC/DC replaced his role within the group with Brian Johnson. The first single from their album Back in Black, and thus the first to feature Johnson, was the power anthem "You Shook Me All Night Long."

"You Shook Me All Night Long" was released on August 15, 1980, and peaked at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Despite not being a No. 1 hit, the song is considered by many to be AC/DC's signature song from their catalog.

Since the song's release, the lyrics and the writing behind them have been subject to debate and controversy. Band members Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Brian Johnson are the sole songwriters credited on the track. However, many believe that at least some of the lyrics were written by Bon Scott prior to his death in February of 1980.

Two of Scott's former girlfriends claimed they saw writing by Scott that made it into "You Shook Me All Night Long." Additionally, Doug Thaler, a close friend of Scott's and AC/DC's booking agent for their American tours, said of the lyrics and their writing:

"I don't care who tells me anything different: you can bet your life that Bon Scott wrote the lyrics to 'You Shook Me All Night Long'. It's Bon Scott's lyrics all over the place."

Over the years, the song has become a signature track of AC/DC's and is almost never omitted from live performances and/or setlists. When the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, they performed the song with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

"You Shook Me All Night Long" is extremely popular with critics and fellow musicians. Guitar World ranked the guitar solo at No. 80 on their "100 Greatest Guitar Solos" list, and Rolling Stone ranked the track among their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time." Rock critic Robert Christgau even went so far as to call the song AC/DC's "only great work of art."

John Green is officially making his return to fiction.

The bestselling author behind beloved novels including The Fault in Our Stars, Looking for Alaska and Turtles All the Way Down has announced his first new novel in nine years.

Titled Hollywood, Ending the upcoming book will be released on Sept. 22, 2026, marking Green’s, 48, adult fiction debut and a new chapter in his celebrated writing career.

Penguin Random House

The novel follows young actors Kai Laramie and Juniper Castillo, who land starring roles in the highly anticipated biopic Andy Warhol Never Gets Old. As the film becomes a cultural sensation, the two rising stars find themselves navigating newfound fame, public attention and the complicated reality of having their private lives become part of the spotlight.

According to the publisher, the book explores the tension between a public persona and a private life, while examining how modern celebrity culture and social media have changed the way people experience attention and connection.

Green said he spent eight years developing the story before bringing Kai and Juniper to life.

"I've spent the last eight years finding my way through this story, and I am so excited to share Hollywood, Ending with the world," Green said in a statement.

The author added that the novel explores "the strange, complicated exchanges of attention and trauma of the social internet" and the challenge of finding meaningful relationships in an increasingly public world.

In addition to announcing the book, Green revealed a 20-city North American tour in support of Hollywood, Ending, giving fans the chance to see him discuss his long-awaited return to fiction.

Since the release of The Fault in Our Stars in 2012, Green has become one of the most influential authors of his generation. His books have sold more than 60 million copies worldwide, been translated into more than 60 languages and inspired film and television adaptations.

Released in 1975, "Lorelei" helped announce that Styx was becoming far more than another up-and-coming rock band.

The soaring ballad became one of the group's earliest radio successes after appearing on Equinox, reaching the Billboard Hot 100 and showcasing the melodic songwriting and dramatic arrangements that would soon become Styx trademarks. Nearly 50 years later, the band gave the song a fresh interpretation by re-recording it for its 2023 collection Regeneration: Volume 1.

Written by guitarist and vocalist James "JY" Young, "Lorelei" blends heartfelt lyrics about a man wanting to move in with his girl with a gradual musical build that has long made it a favorite among Styx fans.

"The idea of co-habitation was still looked down upon in the old-fashioned world that I was born into," Young told Songfacts. "My parents weren't happy about it, but they adapted. We moved in together and my better half decided we should make it legal, so we went to city hall and got married. That's a pretty standard notion for a rock song: A man writing about a woman that he's in love with."

Beginning with a restrained, melodic introduction before expanding into a soaring chorus filled with layered harmonies and powerful guitars, the song embodies many of the qualities that would later define the classic rock power ballad.

The original recording also marked an important step in the band's rise.

Following the success of "Lady," Equinox demonstrated that Styx could consistently produce memorable rock songs that balanced progressive influences with radio-friendly hooks. "Lorelei" became one of the album's standout tracks and helped pave the way for later classics such as "Come Sail Away," "Babe," "Renegade" and "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)."

In 2023, Styx decided to revisit that early chapter of its career.

The band recorded a new version of "Lorelei" for Regeneration: Volume 1, a collection featuring fresh recordings of several classic Styx songs performed by the current lineup, including vocals by James Young. That same year, the band recorded another updated version, featuring vocals by Lawrence Gowan, which appeared on Now Playing, a compilation album sold exclusively at the band's concerts, giving longtime fans another opportunity to experience the song while introducing it to newer audiences attending live shows.

Rather than dramatically reinventing the track, the 2023 recordings stay faithful to the spirit of the original while benefiting from modern production and the chemistry of the band's current lineup. The result is a respectful tribute that highlights just how well the song has aged over nearly five decades.

"I think there's always a thread of Styx talking about their surroundings and their world, and we adhere to it," Tommy Shaw told Ultimate Classic Rock. "The one thing we try to do is put hope in there. It's never disparaging -- there's always a silver lining.That always seems to be what we try to do."

Almost 50 years after it first climbed the charts, "Lorelei" continues to hold a special place in Styx's catalog. Its emotional melodies, dynamic arrangement and enduring appeal have made it one of the band's defining early songs.

The decision to re-record "Lorelei" 48 years after its debut is a testament to its lasting legacy. What began as one of Styx's earliest hits has endured as a soft rock anthem that continues to resonate with listeners across generations.

Summer is one of the best times to rethink how your home feels the moment you walk through the door. As the days get longer and the light shifts throughout the afternoon and evening, it becomes clearer which spaces feel a little flat and which have that warm, welcoming glow. Small changes like updating textiles, rearranging furniture, or restyling an entryway can dramatically alter a room's mood without requiring a full renovation.

Wall eécor plays a big role in that transformation. The right piece can open up a space, add personality, and make everything around it feel more intentional. Mirrors, in particular, pull double duty: they are both decorative and functional, helping to bounce light around and create the illusion of a larger, airier room. When done well, a single wall mirror can become the anchor for an entire vignette, tying together consoles, lamps and accent pieces into a cohesive moment.

The Sex Pistols' song "No One Is Innocent" was banned by the BBC on July 13, 1978, two weeks after its release. 

By then, Johnny Rotten had already left the group, leaving fugitive Ronnie Biggs, who was wanted for his role in the 1963 Great Train Robbery, the next best to take over lead vocals.

The Sex Pistols had a habit of getting banned — this made three, after "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the UK" were also blacklisted by the BBC. And with Sid Vicious gone too, Paul Cook and Steve Jones were the only original members left.

Biggs had helped plan the 1963 Great Train Robbery, walking away with a share of £2.6 million. His outlaw reputation only made him a better fit for the Sex Pistols' image. 

After being sentenced to 30 years in prison, he escaped from Wandsworth in 1965. He fled to Australia, then Brazil, which had no extradition treaty with the U.K. But that didn't mean he was free to live normally. 

Everyone knew who he was, so he couldn't hold a steady job, go to bars or stay out past 10 p.m.

Biggs made ends meet by hosting barbecues at his home, where tourists paid to meet the infamous fugitive. So when the Sex Pistols came looking for a singer, he didn't need much convincing.

Jones and Cook traveled to Brazil and recorded two tracks with Biggs, though only "No One Is Innocent" ever got an official release. 

Jones later told Mojo magazine, "Ronnie Biggs rated himself as a bit of a poet, and I remember sitting in the hotel room writing the music while he wrote the words. It was a big accomplishment, to write a song with an infamous train robber. That was a good move."

The single climbed to No. 7 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, staying in the Top 40 for 10 weeks. 

It's not hard to see why a taxpayer-funded broadcaster wanted nothing to do with a song led by a fugitive train robber. But at that point, the band had nothing left to lose.

Jones and Cook made the most of what was left of the Sex Pistols. And bringing in Biggs wasn't the only outlandish move they made — in the two and a half years the band stayed together, they pulled off a number of stunts.

One of the most notorious incidents came a year earlier, during Queen Elizabeth II's 1977 Silver Jubilee. That summer, the Sex Pistols released their anti-monarchy anthem "God Save the Queen."

To promote the single, their record label chartered a boat that carried the band down the Thames as they performed outside the Houses of Parliament.

The plan fell apart when police forced the boat to dock and arrested manager Malcolm McLaren along with most of the band's entourage. Arrests aside, the stunt paid off as the track reached No. 2 on the U.K. Singles Chart.
