Relationship Court: How to get a husband, according to 1958
This woman, Jordana Grace, found an article from the 1950’s that listed off things that women could do to find a husband. Back in the days before Tinder and Bumble, people had to get attention from the opposite sex in different ways. Although, we don’t recommend trying any of these in present times. Some of the things Jordana lists off are ‘get a sunburn’ or ‘cry in a corner.’ This might get you attention, but if it got any woman a hubby, even back then, we’d be shocked!

Jane’s Addiction members are suing each other over tour-ending onstage fight
Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins filed a lawsuit this week against Farrell, citing the onstage altercation between Navarro and Farrell in 2024 that resulted in the cancellation of their reunion tour and the final dissolution of the long-running band. The band members are seeking at least $10 million, claiming that they lost that amount due to the tour’s cancellation and suspension of all band activities.

Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman to miss summer shows due to injury
For the second time in three years, Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman will be sidelined from the band’s activities for an extended period of time.
In 2023, the guitarist took time away from the band to focus on his mental health before returning that summer. A physical injury has taken its toll on Trohman this time around. In a statement released on the band’s Instagram yesterday, Trohman said:
Hey everyone,
After years of managing ongoing issues with my righthand, it’s become clear that I need surgery to avoid permanent damage. Unfortunately, this means I’ll have to take the rest of the year off from playing with the band. The silver lining is that I’m on track for a full recovery.
The band will still be playing all scheduled shows.
I’m looking forward to recovering so I can get back out there with the guys.
Thanks so much for the love and support.
Joe
The band is slated for festival appearances across the globe throughout the summer months, with notable stops in Minneapolis for Minnesota Yacht Club and in Ocean City, Maryland for Oceans Calling.
It is unknown at press time who will be replacing Trohman on guitar.

Foo Fighters release “Today’s Song” and thank former members as 30th anniversary looms
Dave Grohl, architect of the Foo Fighters, has released their latest track, “Today’s Song”. The track is the band’s first release since 2023’s But Here We Are, which featured the likes of “Under You” and “Rescued”. On “Today’s Song”, Grohl writes:
I woke today screaming for change
I knew that I must
So, here lies a shadow
Ashes to ashes
Dust into dustYou know that nothing can prepare you
Don’t let this cruel world compare you
Waiting for someone to repair youTwo sides to a river
Too troubled to cross
It might take you under
Today’s song
We’ll drown in the middle
Which side are you on
One Way or Another
Today’s songIt may take a lifetime to find you
It may take a lifetime to unwind you
Praying there’s some way to remind you
In a letter on the Foo Fighters website, Grohl wrote extensively about the band’s 30th anniversary and the meaning behind Today’s Song, writing, “For anyone who has ever glanced behind our tattered, flannel curtain, you will surely find the same familiar faces that have been driving this convoy for decades. These are relationships that go far beyond the stage, with the music being only one element of our bond. Friendships that predate the inception of this little experiment we embarked upon starting at that Thanksgiving dinner in my haunted house, back when wheatgrass shots were cool and before television became an overcrowded buffet of streaming services. Without their support and guidance over the years, we surely would not be celebrating this milestone anniversary with you today. We have been blessed with this little tribe, bound by love. We thank every single one of them, and they know who they are.”
Grohl closed his letter on the website by writing, “It has been 30 years since I sat beside Nate Mendel with my hands on that Ouija board (and the last time I ever touched one) but I now realize that there was no way to predict what was to become of our lives that night. And just as I was that stormy Thanksgiving evening in 1994, I am still grateful for life, love, music, and the mystery of where this path may lead us next.”

WATCH: Sly & the Family Stone crush on The Ed Sullivan Show
Yesterday, we received the unfortunate news that the massively influential frontman Sly Stone had passed away at the age of 82.
In honor of Stone’s passing, we hit the YouTube archives and were blown away by the live footage we saw of Stone performing. The best of the bunch was this 1968 performance that Sly & the Family Stone did on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Pour one out for Sly, you will be missed.
