Saying that Giacomo Meyerbeer’s LE PROPHETE is long is like calling the Grand Canyon a pothole: It doesn’t begin to describe the experience, though they both sometimes have a rocky landscape. I don’t imply that there’s a simple one-act opera hiding inside the four-and-a-half+ hours of spectacle that...

Chicago, IL

Chicago-born artist Tasha releases “ ,” the yearning new single from her recently announced new album, All This and So Much More. “The titular song of the album, ‘So Much More’ is about reminding myself to hold onto a mindset of abundance in lieu of fear or desperation. It's about being grateful for what I have, and believing in the possibility of more goodness to come. Wonder, beauty, and love abounds when I'm able to keep my eyes and heart open to it,” Tasha explains. “Capitalism feeds off of a scarcity mindset, and encourages us to hoard what we have out of fear of losing it, being without it, or someone else having ‘more’ than us. This song (and whole album in fact) resists that notion in its ending declaration, ‘You could have all this and so much more.’”

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The '90s were a turbulent time for Van Halen. After soaring through the previous decade as quite possibly the most universally beloved rock band on the planet, the group hit bumpier terrain in the '90s. Although they released two multi-platinum albums in the first half of the decade, they also endured nasty public feuding, two more lineup changes, the genre-resetting revolution of grunge and their first flat-out commercial failure.
