Sure, the annual Rockin’ 1000 had a lot of great bands this year. But there was one performance that stopped the show.

Every year, 1000 musicians come together and sync up at once to play some of the great songs of our time. And in Paris, it was their tribute to Taylor Hawkins that stood out from the rest.

Check it out below:

RIP: Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode

Andy Fletcher, the co-founder and keyboardist of Depeche Mode for over 40 years died at 60. The band shared the news Thursday on twitter:

Fletcher was a member of Depeche Mode for over 40 years, from their 1980 formation and debut album Speak and Spell up through their most recent LP in 2017, Spirit. Fletcher, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore (along with former members Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder) were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.

You’re spending more than $300 a month on THIS!

According to a new report, the average American spends $314 per month on impulse purchases.  That’s up from $276 in 2021 and $183 in 2020. What re you buying?!

This year, the #1 impulse buy is some kind of CLOTHING.  Food and groceries is second, followed by household items . . . shoes . . . technology . . . books . . . take-out . . . toys . . . coffee . . . and “spa services.” It’s a good sign that people are getting out more and spending, but keep it under control!

Jack White once showed up to a neighborhood BBQ — and no one knew who he was

Jack White once showed up to a neighborhood potluck — and no one knew who he was.

To be fair, the musician DOES spend a lot of time on the road. And the neighborhood had little interaction with Jack other than occasionally hearing guitar coming faintly from the garage of their reclusive neighbor — who had a gated historical home in Nashville.

But in 2015, he joined the annual event. And the story (and PICTURE) is amazing. Check it out here.

Sad news coming out out the Dominican Republic where the actor was filming a movie ‘Dangerous Waters,’ Ray Liotta passed away in his sleep, he was 67 years old. No foul play is suspected, more from WGN News here.

Such an incredible talent from his breakout role in Field of Dreams to Goodfellas to Something Wild to Cop Land to Marriage Story and his many television appearances. He will be missed. What is your favorite Ray Liotta moment? I loved him hosting SNL back in 03, “it’s like girls gone wild in here!” (clip below) <3 Lauren

How much money makes you rich?!

Most people want to be rich when they get older… or right now! But what is “rich.” Everyone has different definitions of how much money that would take.

Gen Zers said $394,000 a year . . . Millennials, $721,000 . . . Gen Xers, $887,000 . . . and Baby Boomers said just over $1 MILLION a year in income. Pretty much everyone agreed you’re also “rich” if you’ve got around $1 million in savings. DANG!

51% of Americans believe they’ll be rich someday, according to the survey. And 53% said that regardless of what you’ve heard, money CAN buy happiness.

The Illinois Corn Maze is going to switch to hemp!

The Great Godfrey Corn Maze is changing it up this fall. Instead of a corn maze, they’ll be using hemp. It’s easier and cheaper to grow than corn. Last year, the corn maze had to be shut down due to unseasonable weather, so organizers started looking for different options. The corn didn’t grow as tall as it should have last year, but hemp can get up to 12 feet high. Now you’ll really get lost in the maze!

Why did this married couple light themselves on fire?!

After saying “I Do” this couple did the unthinkable, they lit themselves on fire! The couple. Gabe and Ambyr, both work in Hollywood as stunt doubles and thought what better way to get married than to pay homage to their respective careers. They’re both on FIRE as the walk down the (outdoor) aisle. Every person there will remember their wedding!
