Happy birthday to Chrissie Hynde, born on this day in 1951. Founding member, unmistakable voice and driving force of The Pretenders, she remains one of rock’s most distinctive and enduring figures.

This video of Dolly Parton covering Stairway to Heaven is going around. Here's a higher quality version for you to enjoy. RIP to the Queen of Country and an absolute angel on Earth.

[Just Rock Content @JustRockContent]

One of the all-time great Rock Hall moments: Dolly’s “Jolene” with Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Pink, and Sheryl Crow. Zac Brown Band held it down as the house band.

Rest easy, Dolly 🤘

In 1963, the Rolling Stones were still very much in the process of becoming the Rolling Stones the world would later recognize. In photos from this period, they often looked cleaner, more uniform, and more traditionally “pop” than the image they would soon cultivate.

The matching jackets and neat presentation were partly a product of the early British beat scene, when managers and photographers still expected young bands to look polished enough for television, magazines, and family audiences.

But musically, the Stones were already separating themselves from the Beatles. While the Beatles leaned heavily into melody, harmony, and original pop songwriting, the Stones built their early identity around American blues and rhythm and blues.

Their early setlists included songs by Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and Jimmy Reed. That gave them a rougher edge even before the fashion and publicity caught up.

Their manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, understood the contrast quickly. If the Beatles were charming, the Stones could be dangerous. If the Beatles were clean-cut, the Stones could be rebellious. By 1964 and 1965, that image became central to their appeal.

Eddie Van Halen shredding on his Les Paul right at the edge of the stage at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Florida back on October 24, 1981. Taken during Van Halen's iconic opening set for The Rolling Stones during the Fair Warning tour era, this image captures Eddie doing what he did best—commanding a massive stadium crowd of over 60,000 fans with sheer joy and unmatched virtuosity.

“I don’t know… ask Steve Perry.”

A research into cat behavior shows that domestic cats regard humans as social peers rather than superiors, often perceiving their owners as large, awkward kittens.

Far from being aloof or defiant, a cat’s apparent indifference stems from a profound interspecies mismatch in social expectations.

As anthrozoologist John Bradshaw explains, cats—unlike dogs—never evolved to recognize humans as dominant leaders or authority figures. Instead, they filter all interactions through an exclusively feline framework. Behaviors like kneading on your lap or licking your hair are not mere displays of affection; they are the same grooming and bonding rituals cats reserve for close kin or pride members. In their eyes, we are simply enormous, somewhat clumsy fellow cats who require inclusion in the group.

This absence of hierarchical deference accounts for cats’ frequent disregard of commands or household rules. Treating us as equals, they follow cat-to-cat social protocols in every encounter. The “gifts” of dead prey on the doorstep or constant shadowing around the home are acts of care toward what they see as a big, furless, rather inept companion.

Recognizing this mindset transforms the human-cat relationship from one based on authority and obedience to one of mutual companionship. It turns out that while many owners believe they have domesticated their cats, the cats themselves are quietly convinced they are patiently tending to their oversized, adopted family members.

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo

Canada's Constitution is not a legitimate document, and has not safeguarded Alberta's interests within federation, says one of the architects of that province's newly passed Sovereignty Act.
