The summer solstice is tomorrow June 20, marking the first official day of the summer season it also represents the longest day and shortest night of the year. Just because the summer solstice is the longest day doesn't always mean it will be the hottest, although temperatures have steadily risen nationwide. The hottest days are normally days after the summer solstice but don't tell that to the many Americans already experiencing record heat in some parts of the United States.

Top 10 ’90s Kiss Songs
Although Kiss released only three albums during the '90s, it was quite an eventful time for the group. At the start of the decade, the group found themselves in a mirror version of their dilemma in the early '80s. In 1982, after squandering nearly all of their career momentum with questionable trend-chasing albums, they released the masterful Creatures of the Night, which didn't get nearly the attention it deserved. Chastened but determined, Kiss took off their trademark facepaint and clawed their way back to platinum sales and sold-out arenas with a string of successful '80s albums.

30 of the Highest-Grossing Rock Tours Ever
There's a lot of money in the rock 'n' roll business, and much of it comes from touring. Especially when it comes to high-profile legacy acts performing in stadiums and arenas, the amount of dough a tour can bring in has the potential to enter the hundred millions. This is particularly important in an age where the sale of actual music — via CDs, vinyl and streaming services — isn't as lucrative as in previous decades. These days, it's touring and performing live that supplies artists with the most income.

The Long and Winding Saga of John Lennon’s Missing Wristwatch
Switzerland's Supreme Court is set to decide if a priceless watch given to John Lennon by Yoko Ono will be returned to the late Beatles legend's widow.

Texarkana I-30 Eastbound ‘Big Shift – Phase One’ Begins Wednesday
What is the "Big Shift - Phase One?" It's a major part of the I-30 widening project in Texarkana, Texas that began in August of 2020. The Big Shift begins Wednesday, June 18, around 8 PM.

Was the Snakmaster the Best Kitchen Invention of All Time?
While I'd love to argue that the '80s and '90s were the golden age of TV sitcoms, it would be a disservice not to acknowledge that it was also the era when "As Seen on TV" infomercials truly revolutionized every aspect of our lives in every room of the house. Fixing things in the garage! Cleaning the bathroom! And perhaps most of all—mastering every task in the kitchen.
