[🎸 Rock History 🎸 @historyrock_]

"Life in the Fast Lane" is one of the Eagles' biggest hits, included on the 1976 album Hotel California.

It was written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Joe Walsh. It's a classic rock song with a powerful groove and an iconic guitar solo.

The inspiration came from a real conversation. Don Henley and Glenn Frey were riding in a car with a friend who was driving recklessly and aggressively. Frey said to him, “Man, you’re living life in the fast lane,” and that phrase stuck with them. The song describes the excessive and empty lifestyle of fame, drugs, sex, and rock and roll in 1970s Los Angeles: speed, decadence, and existential emptiness.

Musically, Joe Walsh’s guitar riff stands out, giving the song its rock edge. It was recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami with Bill Szymczyk as producer. Walsh’s solo is one of the most memorable on the album.

Released as a single in 1977, it reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a rock anthem.

Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here!

I don't know why any of you haters are surprised I'm the one actually engaging here.

You're the ones who've obsessively pored over the 10,000 photos, the 30,000 text messages, and the 128,000 emails from my hacked iCloud and stolen devices.

If I am anything, I am prolific.

You know what you won't find? Any of the most heinous, hateful things you keep posting about me.

What you'll find from me here is the same thing you found there.

Total transparency. Finally on my terms. Not yours.

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

Journalist in Peru captures same animals 8 years apart and the internet is in tears While documenting pollution at a landfill outside Lima, a journalist spotted something she never forgot: a stray dog gently bringing food to a tiny kitten hiding near an old fridge.

Eight years later, she returned to finish her study and froze. The kitten was now a grown cat.
The dog was old, gray, and tired.
But this time, the cat was bringing food to him.

Two photos. Eight years apart. One impossible friendship. People online are calling it “the kind of loyalty humans could learn from.”

Every night for years, a parrot named Alex told his trainer the same nine words before bed: “You be good. I love you. See you tomorrow.” One night, he said them one last time. He was found dead in his cage the next morning.

His trainer, Irene Pepperberg, had bought him from a Chicago pet shop in June 1977, when he was about a year old. She had just finished her chemistry PhD at Harvard. Most of her colleagues thought studying a parrot was a waste of a career. Back then, scientists believed birds couldn’t think. The phrase “bird brain” came from that belief. They thought you needed a big mammal brain to think, count, reason, or know your own name. Alex spent the next 30 years proving them wrong.

He learned over 100 English words. He could identify 50 different objects, 7 colors, 5 shapes. He understood “bigger” and “smaller” and “same” and “different.” He could count up to six with 80% accuracy, and was learning eight when he died. He understood zero. He knew that “nothing” is itself something. Most kids don’t grasp that until age four. Alex was a parrot.

He once invented his own word for an apple. He called it a “banerry,” because the inside reminded him of a banana and the outside of a cherry.

In December 1980, a research assistant took Alex into a bathroom and held him up to the mirror. He had never seen himself before. He tilted his head, studied his reflection, and asked: “What color?” That was a first. No animal had ever asked a question about itself before. The assistant told him “gray” six times. Alex used the word correctly for the rest of his life.

The first time Pepperberg had to leave him at the vet overnight, he watched her walk toward the door and said, “I’m sorry. Come here. Wanna go back.” She kept telling him she would be back tomorrow. She made sure she was. Every night, when she put him in his cage at the end of the day, he said the same nine words: “You be good. I love you. See you tomorrow.”

On September 5, 2007, he said it for the last time. He was 31. Grey parrots in captivity usually live to 45 or older. The autopsy found hardened arteries. A heart attack or stroke had probably killed him in his sleep. Pepperberg called it the worst day of her life.

The New York Times wrote his obituary. The headline was “Brainy Parrot Dies, Emotive to the End.”

Scientists still argue about whether Alex really understood what he was saying. Pepperberg never claimed he used real language. She called it a two-way communication code. But when she remembers the last night, and the same nine words she had heard a thousand times, there is no argument left.

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different.
Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people.
For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits.
He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide.
No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents.
His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

Left behind in Kabul. Alone. He waited 47 days.

K-9 Chaos was not a dog who did his job. He was a dog who had DECIDED, completely, permanently, without reservation, that Lieutenant Marcus Webb was coming back for him. No matter how long it took.

At Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, on the morning of August 30th, 2021, a three-year-old Belgian Malinois sat in an empty aircraft hangar. The last American plane had left six hours ago. The evacuation was over.

Chaos had been left behind.

Not intentionally. The chaos of the withdrawal. The panic. The rush. Webb had been separated from Chaos during the final evacuation. Put on a different plane. Told Chaos would be on the next flight.

There was no next flight.

Chaos survived the first day alone. Waiting at the hangar where Webb had left him.

Chaos survived the first week. Scavenging food from abandoned military supplies.

Chaos survived 47 days in Taliban-controlled Kabul. Alone. Hiding. Waiting.

Because Chaos survived on the belief that Webb wouldn't leave him forever.

Back in the United States, Webb was losing his mind. Filed reports. Called congressmen. Contacted rescue organizations. Went on the news.

"I left my dog in Afghanistan," he said on CNN, his voice breaking. "I left my brother. And I'm going to get him back."

The military said it was impossible. Kabul had fallen. Taliban controlled the airport. No way to extract a dog.

Webb didn't care about impossible.

He contacted Pineapple Express, a veteran-run extraction operation. Gave them Chaos's last known location. Sent photos. Videos. Anything that could help.

For 47 days, Webb didn't sleep. Didn't eat properly. Just waited for news.

On October 16th, 2021, his phone rang.

"We found him," the voice said. "We found Chaos."

A rescue team had infiltrated Kabul. Used Webb's intel. Found Chaos still at the hangar. Still waiting. Forty-seven days later.

Chaos was emaciated. Dehydrated. Traumatized.

But alive.

The extraction took three days. Smuggling Chaos out of Taliban-controlled territory. Through checkpoints. Through danger.

But they got him out.

On October 19th, 2021, Chaos landed at Dulles International Airport. Webb was waiting on the tarmac.

When they opened the crate, Chaos didn't move. Stared at Webb like he was seeing a ghost.

"It's me, brother," Webb said, kneeling down. "I came back. I promised I'd come back."

Chaos stepped out slowly. Walked to Webb. Collapsed into his arms.

The reunion video went viral. Seventeen million views in three days.

But what people didn't see was what happened after.

For six months, Chaos wouldn't sleep unless Webb was in the room. Wouldn't eat unless Webb fed him. Wouldn't go outside unless Webb went first.

"He's terrified I'll leave him again," Webb said in an interview. "And I don't blame him. I left him once. In the worst place. At the worst time. He waited 47 days for me. And I'll spend the rest of my life making sure he knows I'm never leaving again."

Three years later, Chaos still sleeps with his head on Webb's chest. Still follows him everywhere.

Still making sure Webb doesn't disappear.

K-9 Chaos. Survived 47 days alone in Kabul. Extracted by heroes. Reunited with his handler. Home.

The mother of 15 year old Will Roberts, who is fighting stage 4 #BoneCancer in Alabama, shared an emotional update.

In a new video, she shows Will getting his head shaved for the second time. Her words hit hard:

“The first time felt like shock… like we were just trying to survive. This time I knew what it really meant. But there he was — same smirk, same fire, laughing while ‘Cutting Carl’ buzzed away.”

“Hair doesn’t define him. This chapter still belongs to a warrior.”

Praying for you, Will. Keep fighting, Champ. 🙏❤️
