@drewdavis71 Nooooooo

When I see the Phillies trying to lose Andrew Painter’s debut

Never a dull moment when John Belushi was in the house! On this day in 1980, the Grateful Dead were joined on stage at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ, by comedy legend John Belushi ahead of the Dead’s April SNL appearance. Unexpectedly crashing the set, John cartwheeled on stage, pockets stuffed with American flags, and was met by a thunderous roar of applause. Photos by Jay Blakesburg

@DrGuitar No doubt about

From all we know now, is it safe to say that Izzy Stradlin was really the main creative force behind Guns N’ Roses? I believe so

At a quiet wildlife sanctuary in Missouri, something happened that left grown men wiping their eyes and caretakers frozen in disbelief. Murphy, a bald eagle who could no longer fly, had spent years grounded by an old injury. While other eagles soared overhead, he lived his life on the earth, admired by visitors for the sharp eyes and powerful wings he would never again use to touch the sky. One spring morning in 2023, the keepers noticed something unusual. Murphy had begun gathering twigs—not haphazardly, but with deliberate care. Piece by piece, he arranged them exactly as a wild eagle would in the treetops, shaping a nest on the ground with the tenderness of a devoted parent. Soon he settled into it, lowering his body as though guarding something precious. But there was no egg. What he protected was a rock—a simple, cold stone. Yet Murphy treated it as if it were his own offspring. He sat over it for hours, barely moving. He flared his wings when other eagles came too close. He stared down anything that approached. To him, that rock mattered. To him, it was life. The staff watched in silence, moved by the sight. It was both tender and heartbreaking: a bird who could not fly still carried the fire of a father, even when nature had given him nothing to raise. Then, by chance, an orphaned eaglet arrived at the sanctuary—too young to survive alone, hungry, weak, a tiny bundle of feathers in desperate need of a miracle. Someone thought of Murphy. If he could love a rock with such fierce devotion, what might he do for a living, breathing chick? With steady hands and held breath, the caretakers made a quiet decision. They removed the rock from Murphy’s nest and gently placed the eaglet in its place. What happened next stayed with everyone who witnessed it. Murphy looked down, leaned closer, and studied the trembling little body beneath him. Then he spread his wings and pulled the eaglet close, as if he had been waiting his entire life for that moment. No hesitation. No confusion. Only acceptance. From that day on, Murphy fed the chick, guarded it, and kept it warm through cold nights. A bird who would never again rise into the clouds was giving another eagle the chance to one day rule them. Visitors lingered longer at his enclosure. Some cried. Others stood silently, hands over their mouths. Here was a creature broken by fate, still choosing love without question. Murphy reminded everyone of something we often forget in hard times: strength doesn’t always mean flying high. Sometimes it means staying grounded and opening your heart anyway. He never knew the rock wasn’t an egg, and he never cared that the chick wasn’t his by blood. All he knew was that something needed him—and he was ready. Even a grounded eagle can rise, not with wings, but with love.

@DrGuitar Horrible. Whole band looks whacked.

Weilands last performance. Wish we could’ve helped him.

WBC is pretty cool. ⚾

Just rebuilt my Speed Queen Dryer. It's 31 years old and the blower fan dry rotted and needed replacement. I replaced all moving parts and it runs like new. Twas a project only delayed by parts shipping. My tenants are amazing!!!!

No pick, just thumb and soul. Toy Caldwell’s tone on this '73 version of "Can’t You See" is untouchable.

Glen Campbell and Leon Russell, two former ‘Wrecking Crew’ legends, reminiscing about past sessions, before gliding effortlessly into an exquisite You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling. In Session. 1983.

No effects, no auto-tune, no complicated staging – just pure talent.

@aldente37 @historyrock_ I like very few of them.

@thebaldguyO @historyrock_ 22 for this guy

Sheridan! Kid's.

Check out this groovy live rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” from 1974 – that bass line is straight fire, and Stevie’s energy is unmatched! 🎹✨ Fun fact: The song was written just months before Wonder’s near-fatal car accident in 1973, which left him in a coma. In recovery, his road manager sang the melody to him, and Stevie responded by tapping his fingers along – a real-life second chance!

Young Zakk, full throttle, no restraint. Watch him absolutely tear through "I Don't Know" at the House of Guitars in '93.

We’ve all been the "life of the party," but none of us did it while playing "Eruption." Watch EVH at his most unfiltered and fun-loving during this rogue 2006 set.
