Four songs into the first of a two night stay at The Madhouse, Zack de la Rocha, frontman of the reunited Rage Against the Machine, briefly went backstage before returning to the stage, seated, on a monitor. He told the crowd, “I don’t know what happened to my leg right now, but you know what? We’re gonna keep this f*ckin’ shit goin’. If I have to crawl across this stage. We’re gonna play for y’all tonight. We came too f*ckin’ far.”
After sustaining the injury, Zack de la Rocha was helped off stage by the band's crew members. Following a brief break, the concert resumed with de la Rocha performing while seated on a monitor. pic.twitter.com/ZXYUtwObvX
Gym was the best in high school! No you can have those feelings of high school glory all the time. There’s a high school gym that’s been converted into a house for sale in Indiana. Did someone say hard wood floors?! The 11,000-square-foot single-family residence, nestled among farm fields in Wilkinson, Indiana and is priced at $299k if you’re interested. Check out the pics below!
Chicago is ranked one of the ‘geekiest’ cities in America. We’re #7 on that list. Some of the metrics that researchers used were, how many costume meetup groups, plus stores that sell video games, trading cards and comics. Does the city hosted Comic-Con events or Renaissance festivals? Here’s how we did in key categories…
Most people carry bananas home in a bag. This woman was seen parading a banana on a leash through her town. The town recently had a few UFO sightings, so now people are really weirded out. Does she do this all the time? She walked the fruit in the busiest part too, at a high traffic hour- brave. Turns out, she said that she’s ‘practicing for a performance.’ Hmm… don’t buy it!
“Heat Waves” has been in the top 10 in the Hot 100 for over 34 weeks in the charts! Their video was filmed during the pandemic so this is what they did to get more shots when they filmed outdoors -genius!

It amazing what people used to buy with $1. You could actually buy something… multiple things! In 1966, you could get three gallons of gas. Here’s what you could get for a dollar the year you were born…
Tennis star Nick Kyrgios called out a woman a Wimbledon, “She’s the one that looks like she’s had 700 drinks” after complaining about her to officials. Apparently, she was hassling him the entire game from the front row. Novak Djokovic beat Kyrgios, which was probably why he was more annoyed that day…
"She's drunk out of her mind and talking to me in the middle of a game. She's the one who looks like she's had 700 drinks."
Good luck trying to beat Irina Gladkaya in Miami’s muscle beach. She was out there hustling fools for money like Woody Harrelson in White Men Can’t Jump! Not one dude was able to beat her- watch!

Like father, like son,
Taylor Hawkins’ 16 year old son Shane joined the band “The Alive” on drums during the 4th of July weekend and dedicated the hit “My Hero” to his father. The Foo Fighters drummer died unexpected this spring while the band was on tour in South America.
The 1975 have released “Part of the Band”. The song was co-produced by The 1975’s Matty Healy and George Daniel with Jack Antonoff and includes backing vocals by Japanese Breakfast.
The 1975’s new album Being Funny In A Foreign Language will be released October 14 .
Everyone seems to know the Chicago Bears are done with the City of Chicago — except the City of Chicago.
Let’s face it, the day that we heard the news about the Arlington Park property — it was over. More seats, more parking, infinitely more ways to control their revenue growth? It’s a no brainer for the McCaskey family.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot unveiled a plan this week that addresses none of those shortcomings the Bears deal with now at Soldier Field — but it does include the potential of adding a $1.5 billion taxpayer-sponsored dome. (I guess we’ll just keep slapping on layer upon layer to that place, until it topples over?)
The Monsters of the Midway may be vacating — but there are some excellent ideas in the new Museum Campus proposal that will bring into a brand new era.
Of the proposals covered by Block Club Chicago, the biggest win would be moving Huntington Bank Pavilion between the Field Museum and the stadium. It always feels like a monumental trek whenever you catch a show there and a more permanent structure might finally make that venue feel less — temporary. It would also make Northerly Island a more nature-friendly place to walk and visit on the lakefront.
We also forget that Soldier Field has another tenant: The Chicago Fire. Soccer’s popularity in this country has tripled over the last decade — it would be no surprise to me to see it continue to climb. Why not embrace this franchise by giving them a dedicated home?
Soldier Field had a life decades before the Chicago Bears moved down from Wrigley — when the team moves, it can still have a place in Chicago for decades to come.

This yard party with a few smaller fireworks got out of line quickly when some smaller fireworks went awry. Then they lit the car on fire by accident… that was holding a TON of other fireworks. Lesson learned- when someone says ‘run’ during a Fourth of July party, you pay attention! Watch!
