Beatles Live Albums Ranked
Beatles live albums didn't really used to be a thing. They came off the road in August 1966 and the group's first official concert recording, The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, wasn't released until 11 years later. Three Beatles had issued live LPs in the meantime: John Lennon with 1969's...
That Time Bono and the Edge Co-wrote a Euro Championship Song
In 1960, the very first UEFA European Football Championship was held. It's taken place every four years since then and is, at the time of this writing, the second-most watched football tournament in the world after the FIFA World Cup. (That's European football, by the way, referred to as soccer by American audiences.)

Dierks Bentley “Dazzles” North Dakota Country Fest Crowd
I hadn't seen Dierks Bentley in concert longer than I care to admit. I last saw a Dierks Bentley show at the Ralph in Grand Forks twenty-plus years ago when he opened for Sugarland. He was just starting out. I've always been a big fan. His music really resonates with so many of his fans including myself.

Another of Jimmy Buffett's sunshine-filled homes located in Palm Beach is up for sale, this time for $7.25 million.

Why Stewart Copeland Prefers Life Outside the Police
Stewart Copeland said he prefers life beyond the Police as he recalled disappointment over songs he'd brought to the band that didn't make it into their catalog. But he admitted his writing style didn't really match the trio's musical approach, and said it had worked out for him in the long run.
Talented Bismarck Photographer Captures Her Passion
I have heard the expression many times... ..."He or she has an EYE for photography" - that applies 100% to my friend Carley Ramsdell. She has been holding a camera since she was 16 - waiting for that perfect moment to take a picture. That's what someone with natural talent and instincts does. Here is what makes her so special, she cares about people - I first came across what kind of person she is back in July of 2022. A 4th of July weekend - like so many others, Carley was out and about with her friends enjoying the Missouri River - unlike everyone else, she collected trash. That's right. They took matters into their own hands and loaded over 15 full bags of garbage people threw out along the river. Check out the story HERE - it's when I became a Carley fan.

The Most High Stakes Game of ‘Paired With An Idiot’ Ever Played
Radio Game Magazine may have named "Name That Blank" as the Best Radio Game for 13 years straight, but our other favorite game to play is "Paired With An Idiot". We tend to play this every few weeks and at live shows, but this week we had a major bet on the table: the loser has to recreate Kelly's thirst trap from over the weekend.
