Gigantic Drug Bust with Fruit Truck Trying to Enter Texas

Rock + Metal Songs We’re SICK of Hearing At Sporting Events
We're sorry to say it, but there are some rock and metal songs we're sick of hearing at sporting events. Sure, it's nice that rock and metal have some representation at public events where there are a lot of people, but as fans of those genres, it gets really old hearing the same songs played every single time — especially when we know there are others that would be great to hear as well.
What Ever Happened to Rock + Metal’s Class of 1994?
What ever happened to rock and metal's class of 1994?. It's hard to believe it's been 30 years, but the hard rock and metal world was at a major tipping point back in 1994. Grunge may have been thriving, but signs of wear were starting to show. The genre also suffered the death of its most iconic star with Kurt Cobain's passing.

Here’s 8 Guaranteed Ways to Tick Off a Texan
Except for a couple of radio gigs in other states, I've always lived right here in Texas. Born and raised in the Panhandle, I'm proud to be a Texan. The Lone Star State has its own swagger and its own style. I like that. However, sometimes folks from other states just don't understand the Texas way. Their assumptions can get aggravating, especially to a native Texan.
Scott’s Stapp’s Response to Being Called an ‘Eddie Vedder Rip-Off’
Comparisons tend to be inevitable in rock music, so here's Scott Stapp's response to being called an "Eddie Vedder rip-off" back in the day. When Creed and a lot of other rock bands became popular in the late '90s, they were often accused of riding the coattails of the Seattle grunge bands that ruled the genre a few years prior. Dubbed "post-grunge," many of these groups were inspired by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, but created songs that were slightly more universal in sound.

Blue Bell Ice Cream has just launched what may be the flavor of the summer. It was fairly recently that Blue Bell dropped A & W Rootbeer Float.

Every State Where They’ve Made it Illegal to Have a Drink During Happy Hour
It may be "five o'clock somewhere," but that doesn't mean that it is happy hour everywhere. The concept of "happy hour," a period after typical work hours when discounts are offered to bar and restaurant patrons, is a bit of an American institution. You had a hard day of work and you now deserve a cold one and a plate of nachos.

Keep Your Hands Off Bird Nests in Texas, There Are Consequences
During the spring and summer time in East Texas, we like to get outside and start some projects to improve the yard around our house. It could be as simple as planting a new flower bed to as complex as cutting down some dead or unwanted trees. One thing you might notice in a tree you're trimming, or even the bushes around your house, is a bird's nest with three to four eggs in it. The mother may not be around but she certainly has not abandoned those eggs. However, some will feel the need to move that nest thinking they are doing the right thing. It does bring up an interesting question, is it legal to move or destroy a bird's nest in the state of Texas? The answer may surprise you.

Known for their comedic social media posts, absurd logo and band name that's really not as difficult to pronounce as everyone seems to think it is.
