Get Back! Paul McCartney’s stunning return to Liverpool’s Cavern Club – the full review - NME

Oh man! I wish I was there!

:The gig proper began with McCartney taking it right back to ‘Twenty Flight Rock’ the Eddie Cochran song he played to prove his chops to John Lennon at the garden fete at St Peter’s Church, Woolton, on July 6, 1957, a fated – or feted – day in Beatles lore."

Rolling Stones to keep on touring as Keith Richards tells pals “I want to do more” - Mirror Online

The idea that the Stones can keep doing this should sound crazy. But, I saw Jack Jones over the weekend. He is 80 and still does his thing REALLY well. His voice, stage presence, and command of the lyrics were the same as they always have been. So why should he stop? The same with The Stones!

Intellectual Giant Charles Krauthammer dies at the age of 68

Longtime Fox News commentator said in early June that he had "only a few weeks left to live" after a battle with cancer.

I am the co-founder of Moptu. Ultimately, this platform was a result of the co-founders love of politics. Not the divisive, loud, hyperbolic politics that we’re experiencing now, but a much more intellectual brand of politics. I have been reading Charles Krauthammer’s colimns for decades. I was amazed, literally, throughout by his insight, his mental acuity, his very real bravery, his sense of humanity and, most of all, his absolute dedication to intellectual honesty. This is a big loss for political discourse in our country at a time when reasonable voices are increasingly rare. He was a giant. I also found out today that he loved dogs; he was a great man. It’s a very sad day for our country.

The Vanishing World of Neon Motel Signs - Atlas Obscura

A photographer has spent decades capturing these symbols of Americana and the open road.

I love these old signs. Many years ago, before everyone had a camera on their phone, I wanted to put together a coffee table book about old neon signs. That was in the '90s. It is very sad to watch the rapidity with which these signs are disappearing. It was/is an endemic part of Americana. Worse, their replacements are the boring, generic, sameness of the typical 21st century roadside experience, which has replaced style with monotony. Not just hotel signs either, but all signage. Have you seen Las Vegas lately? It looks a lot more like any other new urban environment than Las Vegas. It's just another symbol of the current American desire to replace individualism with conformity.
