Buy The World’s Only Cheez-It Jukebox From New York
New York State was home to the world's only Cheez-It diner, and now you can own a part of that local history. If you're a Cheez-It fan, the world's only Cheez-In diner was open in the Empire State for a very brief week in May of 2024. The retro restaurant was dedicated to all things Cheez-It. There was even a tasting station with a variety of crackers and flavors customers can try for free. Food and Wine reports that after closing down the diner, Cheez-It decided to sell off one of the best decor items in there — the world's first (and only) Cheez-It Jukebox, which plays songs in exchange for a Cheez-It cracker rather than a few quarters:

Jefferson Starship Is Still Flying High at 50
Jefferson Starship has been to the moon and back, metaphorically speaking. This year, their music will once again carry them all over the world, from Pennsylvania to Paris. The San Francisco-bred band is celebrating its 50th anniversary here in 2024, playing dates with the Marshall Tucker Band, but also diverse stage mates like Deep Purple. That might seem like a strange combo at first glance, but as it turns out, the heavier side of their catalog can easily build that bridge. The psychedelic side of their Jefferson Airplane days opens other portals. Their numerous radio hits gave them plenty of ammo to spend the summer of 2023 touring with Bret Michaels and Night Ranger as part of the inaugural Parti-Gras tour.

There weren’t any adult cartoons at this point.”

Rock Pseudonyms: 16 Stars Who Also Worked Under Fictional Names
There's a number of reasons why an artist might choose to work under a pseudonym. For one thing, it's a relatively simple way to avoid contractual or legal conflicts, as well as drama between competing record labels. Elton John, for example, used the pseudonym Rockaday Johnnie for his contributions to one of Jackson Browne's songs, "Redneck Friend," because at that point, he didn't yet have a permit to work in America.
