Five years ago, War on Drugs bassist Dave Hartley moved to Asheville, North Carolina, with his wife and young daughter. He’d lived in Philadelphia for 16 years, but his band had spent time recording and touring in the small Blue Ridge Mountains city. “We always had this impression that there was a music scene there, but it was mostly bluegrass and jam bands, and there wasn’t much homegrown,” he says. “People would move there from other places because it was a vibe-y town.”

Dennis Weaver, who died of cancer in 2006, was a talented actor who left his indelible mark in three hit TV shows: Gunsmoke (CBS, 1955-1964; 1974), Gentle Ben (NBC, 1967-1969), and McCloud (NBC, 1970-1977). Before and after those iconic programs, Weaver had some hits and misses and some self-doubts about leaving the security of the long-running Gunsmoke series after almost a decade. The actor delivered countless performances before, during, and after that show. Some included small screen appearances in a compelling episode of The Twilight Zone, and the groundbreaking TV-movie Duel (Steven Spielberg's first full-length film). This is his story.

Dennis Weaver Hit the TV Trifecta with Three Top Shows, But Knew Leaving 'Gunsmoke' Was "Risky"

If you watch every minute of live NFL broadcasts this regular season, you’ll be spending an average of 19.3 hours per week watching football. That number has been climbing for years, but this is a new all-time high for the league. Being a die-hard NFL fan from September through early January is essentially a part-time job.

The Worst Digital Resurrection

Atlanta, GA

There’s a video I return to often. Posted just over 10 years ago by an essentially defunct blog called Houston Hip-Hop Fix, it shows Rich Homie Quan in a blue Argentina soccer kit and at least five necklaces. Quan and the interviewer are bathed off and on in the strobing red light of a cop car. There’s one microphone, so Quan and the host step on one another’s thoughts, deferring politely and shrugging apologies. The rapper runs through the sort of light mythmaking that marks all these interviews: Yes, the debut album is coming; no, no more free mixtapes; yes, music runs through my veins; no, I never touch pen to paper.
