[Warning: The below contains spoilers for American Idol.] American Idol competition rolled on into a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-themed night. These talented singers and budding artists took on legendary music from inductees over the years. Helping them ahead of Sunday’s performances was their mentor, Kiss icon Gene Simmons, who watched the live program from a trademark throne. The Top 14 had to face the judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie but it was the people who they had to win over. That’s because America’s votes during the live show ultimately decided who made up the Top 12 and who would leave the competition. Luke got the party started with a performance of John Mellencamp’s “Small Town,” looking to have recovered from falling off the stage during a Vancouver concert the night before. Adding to the evening’s festivities was host Ryan Seacrest and Lionel breaking the news of the upcoming 2024 Rock...

Kevin Bacon, dancing away, in 4K? Footloose is coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in the UK, it’s been confirmed.
Paramount Pictures is wasting little time sorting new catalogue releases for the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format in 2024, with the news that the 1980s hit Footloose is heading to the format.
Already confirmed in America, a UK release has now been earmarked for February 12th 2024, and the film has gone up for order now. You can find it here.
Initially, it’s only available as a Steelbook release, although it’s expected that a regular 4K disc package isn’t far away. It’s the original film, incidentally, that’s getting the release, and not the remake.
Update: The regular, cheaper release is now confirmed for 13th May 2024. You can find it here.
Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, Dianne Wiest and John Lithgow thus take the lead roles here, with Herbert Ross behind the camera.

Bob Dylan’s Rough and Rowdy Ways tour touched down Monday night at the Sanger Theatre in New Orleans. The venue is just a little under six miles from Lake Pontchartrain, which is probably why Dylan decided to break out the 1947 Hank Williams classic “On the Banks of the Old Pontchartrain” for the first time in his career. It was a tender rendition that he delivered in a remarkably clear voice.

Do you like the Stonecutters song? How about "See My Vest"? Were you impressed when Bart Simpson and Michael Jackson sang a birthday song to Lisa? How do you feel about the celebrity-laced barn-burner "We're Sending Out Love Down the Well"? Do you like the stage musicals of "Checking In," or "Stop the Planet of the Apes! I Want to Get Off!"? I'm personally fond of the song about Spirngfield's brothel, "Spring in Springfield," a throwback to bawdy farces of the 1930s. And who could forget when Lyle Lanley led the entire town in a musical number about a monorail? Or when Homer, Apu, Seymour Skinner, and Barney formed a barbershop quartet to perform "Baby on Board"?
Point being "The Simpsons" has featured many, many original songs in its 850-year tenure on television, and that doesn't even count the hit record "The Simpsons Sing the Blues" from 1990. Many of the...

At 90 years young, there appears to be nothing that will slow Willie Nelson down. “The Red-Headed Stranger” is still doing everything he was doing when he started his career in country music. That includes recording and releasing new music. In fact, Willie Nelson just revealed the release date of his next album. This will be the “Always On My Mind” singer’s 75th album.
The New Willie Nelson Album
Willie Nelson has announced his upcoming album will be titled The Border. This album will not include as many songs as several of his past albums have. The latest album will only have 10 songs.
Of those 10 songs, four of them were co-written by the “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man” singer and Buddy Cannon. Nelson and Buddy Cannon have written songs together for quite some time.

Near the end of John Mellencamp’s set Sunday night at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, New Jersey, surprise guest Bruce Springsteen came out to join him on “Pink Houses.” Springsteen didn’t have a guitar, but he sang the entirety of the second verse to roars from the crowd.

Young helped found Farm Aid, and, along with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp, spoke about the issues with elected officials in Washington, D.C. before the first concert.
Neil performed a cover version of John Lennon’s “Imagine” during the 9/11 telethon, America: A Tribute To Heroes. His single “Let’s Roll”, was a tribute to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and the passengers and crew on Flight 93 in particular.

“If we as a country want to find the collective will within ourselves to change our gun laws, let’s stop playing silly political games. Show the carnage on the news.

In the aftermath of a tragic shooting incident that occurred at a Super Bowl celebration parade in Kansas City, singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, a native of Indiana, has called on the news media to display the grim reality of gun violence.
Mellencamp’s statement, posted to X, emphasizes the need for Americans to witness the harrowing sight of innocent children who have fallen victim to these senseless acts. He accompanied the official statement with a lengthy caption that further stressed the importance that these incidents be made public.
Mellencamp implored the media, “Show the American people the dead children and others who have been struck down. Show us what guns and bullets can do to the human body.”

If you’ve attended a mainstream country concert in the past decade, you’re probably familiar with the part of the set where the headliner sprinkles in a non-obvious cover from an adjacent genre like pop, R&b, or classic rock. It’s a move with any number of purposes: to show an artist’s range of influences, to reel in a drifting crowd with a massive hit, to appeal to a wider audience, or to highlight how fluid and arbitrary genre borders really are when you strip a song back to its essentials.

Two months after pushing the remainder of his tour to next year due to a medical condition, Bruce Springsteen returned to the concert stage Monday night at New York’s David Geffen Hall as part of the Stand Up For Heroes benefit. He’s played practically every year since the annual event began back in 2007, but he wasn’t on the official bill this year since he originally had a show booked that night in Edmonton, Alberta.

ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff, who was severely injured in a roadside bombing while covering Iraq in 2006, is returning to the country — and the exact spot where he was hurt — in a new special. ABC News Studios’ “After the Blast: The Will to Survive,” which chronicles Woodruff’s journey back to where it all happened, will premiere Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. Et on ABC and stream on Hulu the following day.
Woodruff was ABC’s “World News Tonight” anchor with Elizabeth Vargas in 2006, when he and cameraperson Doug Vogt suffered a near-death experience during a roadside bombing. Vargas simultaneously went on maternity leave and departed the newscast; Charles Gibson then took over “World News.”
Woodruff left Iraq with a traumatic brain injury and a long recovery process, although he returned to “World News Tonight” the following year as a correspondent. In the special, he visits Iraq with his son, Mack,...

Bob Dylan has spent the past few weeks spotlighting local artists and city-specific songs while cross-crossing America on his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour. It began October 1 in Kansas City when he opened up with “Kansas City,” continued in St. Louis where he covered two Chuck Berry songs, and carried on in Chicago where he broke out Chicago blues tunes by Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf.

As Congress readies the 2023 Farm Bill, Farm Aid's annual music and food festival was the backdrop for farmers’ and farm advocates’ calls for policies that incentivize climate-resilient agriculture, challenge corporate power and promote equity in the food system.
At the sold-out event at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, Farm Aid President and Founder Willie Nelson thanked family farmers for their hard work to find climate solutions for their own farms and their communities.
“We couldn’t think of a better place to host Farm Aid this year,” said Nelson. “The Indiana family farmers who are stewarding their land sustainably have given us a renewed sense of hope. Their innovative work to protect our air, soil and water should be the way forward for agriculture here and around the country.”
Saturday’s daylong festival kicked off with a conversation among artists and farmers about climate change and the future of agriculture.

Bob Dylan made a surprise guest appearance at Farm Aid on Saturday, marking his first appearance at the annual charity concert since he first helped conceive it.
Backed by members of The Heartbreakers and playing exclusively on guitar, Dylan ran through a three-song set that included the first performance of “Maggie’s Farm” in 14 years, as well as “Positively 4th Street” and “Ballad of a Thin Man.” The performance was streamed live on YouTube and can currently be replayed in full below.
Dylan is credited with inspiring Willie Nelson to launch Farm Aid. During a 1985 performance at Live Aid, Dylan wondered whether a similar event could be put to support American farmers. Nelson took on that mission, teaming up with Neil Young and John Mellencamp to start Farm Aid. Dylan played the first two iterations in 1985 and 1986 alongside Young, Mellencamp, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, and many more.

Los Angeles’ famed Roxy Theater officially opened its doors on September 20th, 1973, with a performance by Neil Young and his band the Santa Monica Flyers. Fifty years to the date later, Young was back on stage at the Roxy, this time with Crazy Horse, in tow. What’s more, for the first time in his illustrious career, he performed two albums live and in their entirety: 1975’s Tonight’s the Night and 1969’s Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.
In addition to celebrating 50 years of the Roxy, the gig was a benefit show raising money for the Painted Turtle and Bridge School. Young and company tore through some of their live staples like “Cinnamon Girl,” but also dug up deeper cuts like “Borrowed Tune,” “Lookout Joe,” and “Tired Eyes,” which he hadn’t performed since they were released in ’73. Young also played the 1969 song “Round and Round (It Won’t Be Long)” for the first time ever.

Neil Young has always had some complicated feelings about his 1973 live album Time Fades Away, but it appears he’s become fonder of it in recent years. He’s celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special reissue dubbed Time Fades Away 50, to be released on November 3rd via Reprise Records exclusively in a limited edition clear vinyl. Check out the album art and tracklist below.
In addition to the eight original songs from the album, the new Time Fades Away 50 will also include the bonus track “The Last Trip to Tulsa,” which was originally released in November 1973 as the B-side to the album’s only single, its title track. Since then, “The Last Trip to Tulsa” also appeared on 2020’s Neil Young Archives Vol. 2: 1972–1976.

Back in 2001, John Mellencamp released “Cuttin’ Heads,” an unlikely team-up with hip-hop icon Chuck D. The singer-songwriter reflected on some of the song’s more contentious lyrics in a new episode of Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, explaining why he doesn’t think rappers — even Black ones — shouldn’t use the N-word in their songs.
“Me and Chuck D did a song 20 years ago,” Mellencamp recalled of his collab with the Public Enemy leader. “We were talking about the N-word. We were talking about how it’s not supposed to be used… That’s what I have against — not against, but why I’m not a big fan of rap music. You guys are selling out what the people stood up for and fought for, and you’re making money off of it selling it to white kids? I don’t like it.”
He continued: “And so Chuck D and I did a song…...

Nearly half a century after he began recording it, Neil Young has finally released his “long-lost” album, Chrome Dreams. Stream the record below.
Chrome Dreams’ journey began back in 1974, when Young cut a version of “Star of Bethlehem” that would eventually end up on his 1977 album American Stars ‘n Bars. From there, Young found himself in an era of fluidity, recording different songs with a variety of collaborators. By 1977, he had racked up a number of demos, some of which were compiled as an acetate to be considered for an album, dubbed Chrome Dreams.
Ultimately, Young decided not to release Chrome Dreams. Instead, he picked it apart, putting some songs on American Stars ‘n Bars, others on 1979’s Rust Never Sleeps, and some into the vault, never to be heard… err, until bootleggers got a hold of the acetate in the ‘90s, that is. Once copies started going around, the...

Shane Hawkins, the son of late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, sat behind the kit with his dad’s covers band Chevy Metal at a couple of recent California gigs. The young stickman showed off his dynamic chops during shows July 27th and 29th at Gold Pacific Studios in Newport Beach and The Canyon in Agoura Hills, respectively.
Taylor Hawkins formed Chevy Metal in 2013, and would routinely gig with the outfit until his passing in March 2022. Shane, meanwhile, has proven to be a very skilled drummer himself, as seen at Foo Fighters’ September 2022 tribute concerts for Taylor, as well as a guest appearance at the Foos’ recent Boston Calling gig.
Shane pounded his way through songs by Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Mötley Crüe, The Police, Thin Lizzy, and more over the two nights (setlists here and here). Fan-filmed footage of him playing the Crüe’s “Looks That Kill,” Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick,...

When country singer Chris Young heard a demo of a new song in consideration for his next album, he didn’t need a rock encyclopedia to identify a key part of it. “This song started and I said, ‘That’s the lick from ‘Rebel Rebel,’” Young recalls. “I immediately knew what it was. I wouldn’t say that I’ve exhausted David Bowie’s catalog, but that one is instantly recognizable.”
But Young wasn’t being pitched a remake of Bowie’s 1974 glam-stomper. He was listening to “Young Love & Saturday Nights,...
