Over the past couple of decades, a dwindling number of mainstream rock bands have made dependability an essential part of their band. But even with Dave Grohl having fully assumed the role of rock’s chief ambassador, you’d be hard-pressed to argue that this strategy has ever been a survival tactic for the Foo Fighters –

Throughout that time the trio worked to get the track in front of Jay-Z. “We always thought that was going to be Nip and Jay-Z,” says Mike, “from the jump.” Dopson regularly tours with Jay-Z as part of his backup band 1500 or Nothin, and put the track in Jay’s hands via his longtime engineer

CBD Oil is a controversial subject that gave birth to several misinformation and confusion. It is surrounded by a heady amount of stigma and scrutiny. It’s been so misunderstood that there are actual myths about it passed around by word of mouth or social media posts. And since CBD is gaining popularity over the past

Sixty to 70 percent of the articles were written by the FBI. So yeah, it’s total course-correction. It’s counterpropaganda. What specific inaccuracies were you looking to address? To start, that they hated white people. That they weren’t an organization engaged in self-defense—or rather, that they were reactionary and warmongering. I wanted to address that, but

While acne is sometimes labeled a teenage problem, around 15 percent of women continue to suffer from breakouts past the age of 25, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Regardless of your age, treating acne and stopping breakouts means finding the right products for the job. There’s no shortage of drug store products and

And so it seems very natural to me that when you look at his later collaborations with women, whether they were with actresses like Meryl Streep or Glenn Close or Julia Roberts or Whoopi Goldberg, or with non-actors—writers like Nora Ephron and Ann Roth, the costume designer—not only was Mike not insecure about working with

When Margaret Sohn released her debut EP under the Miss Grit moniker, Talk Talk, they never expected it would receive as much attention and acclaim as it did. Rather than eliminating feelings of self-doubt, the positive response reignited the sense of imposter syndrome she had experienced both as an artist and a Korean-American, to the

Marketed as a children’s book, Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief tackles World War II in Germany through the voice of Death and the eyes of a child. Sometimes, a theme can be too formidable to condense into a story meant for anyone other than young readers. Published in 2005, the book tells of Liesel Meminger’s youth after

Even if you were able to accept the split rationally, as an amicable parting of ways, there’s still this hard truth to swallow: The Patriots didn’t pay to keep Brady around.
