I don't understand the "he's playing pickleball" part. Like if he is then maybe pics...? Like is he on a court or in a hospital?

Toure is a very famous music journalist and would have insider knowledge, so I would lean reliable. However, I see it's removed from insta now so maybe not...

I like all the Beatles eras. Definitely specific songs that I noped out of, but all eras are good.

These lists definitely provide context why people went wild when The Beatles came out, when they changed styles, and when The Rolling Stones came out. I mean, ofcourse I had seen videos and read stories, but having to listen to a bunch of bedroom crooners really made me craving for something new and exciting. What I didn't expect was how big the faux Hawaiian thing was.

They're not even the same genre of music. This rock a hula baby is like a parasitic twin; I doubt it went to #1 on its own. In the future, could we just separate out the songs?

Yes, I've heard that as well. Frankly, most of the TLC shows seem to have pedophilia and child abuse. I'm just so sad for her: this young lady got away from her mom and in her weakest moment, she's back having her mom make a circus of her life.

These were some of the most depressing quotes I ever read. Aside from talking about how her daughter was dying soon in details, they are also exploiting her last moments for reality tv. The mom comes across as a narcissist.

Thank you for pointing that out! It took me 23 minutes to vote too due to other votes coming in while I was doing my tabulations.

Independent usually just meant "rich person with behavioral problems" on my ballot, ie Ross Perot or Kanye West. Not an ironclad rule, but usually.

MCA/Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys died of cancer 11 years ago. Wish I had seen them live.

There's a Jamie Foxx "update" from his official instagram, but who knows if it's really him:

I loved all 4 of the final 4.
