Meet the newest recipient of a special Pulitzer Prize citation. Damn right. I love this music. It reminds me of my Great-Granpa Frank and Granma Rosella, who'd be frankly tickled to hear Hank Williams won a Pulitzer.

Plus: Special bonus cameos by June and Anita Carter! — Read the rest

I mentioned the 60s German band Les 5 gentlemen earlier today, then came across this awesome video of them performing Cara-Lin. Members of the audience appear to be in the throes of Stendhal Syndrome. Link

After undergoing mystery abdominal surgery and being out of the public eye for months—and after her husband, William, had to skip an important event without explanation—the Princess of Wales' health is under intense scrutiny and subject to conspiracy theories. None of this will be helped by a badly-photoshopped picture of her with her family released yesterday by the palace, which photo wires were forced to recall once the edits made to it were seen. — Read the rest

You know a pop star's audience is getting old when they sue over the show's late start time. Which is what two exhausted Madonna fans are doing after they were forced to stay up past their bedtime.

The two New York gentlemen, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden, showed up at Madonna's "Celebration" concert at Barclays Center on December 13th, understandably expecting the show to start on time. — Read the rest

Texas congressman Dan Crenshaw is furious over Fox News host Jesse Watters' accusation that he participates in insider trading. Here's what Watters said during the segment:

We have Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who beat the market by 13 points. Overall, Democrats outperformed Republicans by about 13 points.
