John Legend is set to play the late singer and activist Harry Belafonte in an upcoming Bill Condon film, reports Variety. The Road Home, which is currently in production, focuses on Hugh Masekela, considered the father of South African jazz, and fellow legend Miriam Makeba while the duo toured South Africa with Paul Simon during Apartheid.

The annual “Grateful Dead Meet-Up At The Movies” is upon us, and this year Deadheads can enjoy special screenings of the band’s June 17, 1991 show, when they played a killer set at Giants Stadium. In an exclusive clip, the band — Jerry Garcia, Bobby Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, with Bruce Hornsby and Vince Welnick on keys — tear through “Brown-Eyed Women.” Check it out below. The gig is notable for the fact that “Dark Star” was woven in and out of the set, making six appearances across the show that also included “Eyes of the World”…

The current party line around Gen Z is that they have ditched sex en masse in favor of more platonic relationships, thus leaving them more time and energy to lecture their elders about how we’ve monumentally fucked everything up. (Tough, but fair.) Gregg Araki — filmmaker, New Queer Cinema icon, staunch Generation X representative — would like to remind them that once upon a time, sex was cool. Sex was edgy. Sex was natural, sex was fun, sex was best when it was one on one. The fact that I Want Your Sex — not a biopic of George Michael,…

But MacLeod also seems genuinely concerned about how AI will displace workers, worsening an already bleak economic situation where “people with goddamn master’s degrees can’t get a job and afford an apartment in the city that they’re living in.”“Believe me, my optimism is tenuous,” he says. “The world is kind of shit, but I hold onto it anyway. There’s no way we will have [our basic everyday] problems in 500 years. Everything’s gonna be solved. How we get there is gonna hurt, and not everyone’s gonna come out OK.”MacLeod grew up in Sobieski, a tiny town in Wisconsin. His dad…

Out of all the sins of the Trump administration — wars, ICE raids, anti-vax lunacy and the return of measles, the empowering of Kash Patel and Stephen Miller, and so much more — Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy declaring war on “DEI bike lanes” is surely a small thing. But it’s also such a monumentally stupid act, so counterproductive, so anti-MAHA as to be completely maddening. NPR recently reported that staff at the Federal Highway Administration have been asked to purge any references to bikes and bike lanes from the agency’s website.  Additionally, Duffy, a former Real World and Road…

What was once a failed single from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway has somehow become one of the most beloved Genesis songs, reappearing again and again throughout the years “The Carpet Crawlers” is far from the most famous Genesis song.

That’s because it comes from 1975’s The Lamb Lies…
