Garth Brooks is facing backlash for comments he made about the beer choices at his new Nashville bar. In a recent interview at Billboard Country Live, the country star revealed his Friends in Low Places & Honky Tonk bar is set to open soon in Nashville's South Broadway District. “I know this sounds corny,” he told the crowd, “I want it to be the Chick-fil-A of honky-tonks … I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another."When it comes to the beers on tap, they'll all be there. Even Bud Light. "Yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make. Our thing is this if you [are let] into this house, love one another. If you’re an a--hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway," he said of the decision.

Ringo Starr Brings his All Starrs to the Greek: The big rule of concert-going, besides “don’t stand in front of a short person if you’re a tall person” and “don’t wear a shirt of the band you’re going to see” is, “if you have a chance to see a Beatle, see a Beatle.” There’s a Beatle at the Greek on Thursday. September 16 saw the famous drummer and beloved scouser release a new four track record, EP3.

Meet Light Fields Painter Casper Brindle

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:00:18 GMT

Abstract painter Casper Brindle renders pure color in aerated layers that capture and refract light, creating breath and a sense of motion with their awe-inspiring luminosity. Heartily influenced by the legacy of the Light and Space movement—which embraced the qualities of wonder in newfangled materials like resin and airbrush, as well as the imagination-fueling advances in interstellar travel—Brindle updates that art historical framework with a modern-day love of the surf and car cultures of his Los Angeles youth. Using automotive paint to enhance that space-age shine as well as an elusive sense of nostalgia in the super-charged palette, Brindle layers delicate coats which seem to capture light in between—later to release it to viewers in an eternal glow. Seeming to change as the viewer moves past them, and carrying the illusion of distant horizons or doors (of perception) as a framework, the magic in Brindle’s canvases actually happens in the eye of their beholders.Casper Brindle:...

A Look Back at Spring Festival Season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:00:18 GMT

The term “festival season” has become a bit of an eye-roller thanks to soulless branding, culture vulture commodification and overzealous hashtaggery, but the abundance of Spring flings the past couple of months has made the concept a very real and restless reality. Coachella kicked off outdoor flocking in April, and in its (literal) dust came a manic May filled with choice all-day happenings that Millenials, Gen-Xers and their elders found themselves having to mentally and physically prepare for. Gen-Z kids were more than ready since last year’s fest flurry, bless ‘em.But first we all had to acquire tickets, which meant enduring online waiting rooms and exorbitant processing fees (special thanks to The Cure’s Robert Smith for fighting the good fight for fans against Ticketmaster). Then we needed to get “festival ready”– and we’re not talking about fashion or fitness. The heat; the trek; the traffic; the pricey merch and food; the set time conflicts; and the overall prodigious...

Anyone visiting San Diego’s charming, restaurant-blessed Little Italy knows. Exercise caution or you may return home wider than you are tall. It’s oh so easy to do.

Author Frances Mayes on fast pasta, slow life under the still-beguiling Tuscan sun

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:00:18 GMT

Give credit to Frances Mayes for igniting Americans’ long-held love affair with Tuscany.In 1996, she wrote a memoir about how she famously took charge of her future, abandoning her life as a Bay Area writer and San Francisco State University professor, and moved to Italy to renovate an aging house and, in the process, find herself. “Under the Tuscan Sun” spent more than two years on the New York Times’ bestseller list, increased travel to the region and spurred others to trade their lives for an Italian fixer-upper. And would we have quite so many Tuscan-style housing developments and color palettes in Northern California without her story? Likely not.She followed that up with more than 20 books — travel memoirs, home decor, poetry, a novel and so much more.Now, 20 years after Diane Lane portrayed Mayes in the film version of “Under the Tuscan Sun,” Mayes, now 83, has published “Pasta Veloce,” a cookbook brimming with what she ca...
