One of the more satisfying experiences for a rock and roll fan is seeing a film of a concert you were actually at. That way you can relive the experience again while aimlessly searching for yourself in the audience, no matter where you were sitting. That’s the way it is with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Live At The Olympic. When it was announced the group would be performing at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles on October 15 and 16, 2002, I anxiously scooped up a couple of tickets, knowing it was going to be filmed. I was, however, a bit concerned by the concert’s locale. The Olympic Auditorium is not your everyday, garden-variety concert venue. It’s been a downtown fixture for boxing matches for years. Situated in one of the more dubious areas of L.A., the 2,000-seat venue rarely hosts rock concerts. All of which made TP and The HB’s appearance that much more intriguing. Armed with a full orchestra at stage right, Petty and company tracked through every song off their extraordinary 2002 release, The Last DJ. They retreated for a couple of minutes and returned to play six more tunes, including classics like “I Need To Know,” “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and Chuck Berry’s “Around And Around.” To witness this event in all its splendor, the Live At The Olympic DVD is your ticket, a superbly shot and recorded production that taps into the heart and soul of one of America’s most endearing bands. The DVD also includes commercials for The Last DJ, but the real bonus is a four song CD taken from Petty & The Heartbreakers’ performance for the PBS program, Soundstage. ~ Shawn Perry

Multiple people were injured, with one sustaining serious injuries, when errant fireworks landed in the crowd during the national anthem at a Fourth of July celebration on Brigham Young University’s (BYU) in Provo, Utah. 

Diversity is our strength. On Independence Day, in Washington Square Park in Manhattan, there are only Palestinian flags. We are bringing in “diverse” people who hate the United States. They burned flags in the park and marched through the streets of Manhattan and Philadelphia, screaming ‘Death to America.’ Did you think they only hate Jews?

It takes a lot of guts to give a shoutout to your significant other on live television, but this 5-year-old girl had no qualms about mentioning her boyfriend to a BBC News reporter! In a heart-melting video, this adorable child proudly announced to the world that she was seeing someone. She wasn’t shy about dropping the young man’s name, either: Toby Ogden. Both the reporter and the little girl’s parents were hilariously surprised by her statements! “That’s quite a declaration to make on national TV,” the journalist said. @dailymailuk Someone find Toby BBC NEWS #glastonbury #glasto #adorable #hardlaunch #sweet #kid #relationship #bbc ♬ original sound – Daily Mail UK If you can believe it, this 5-year-old had a few more bombshells to drop after telling the world about her boyfriend. Next, she revealed that her father (who was standing behind her at the time) was not fond of the young man. In fact, she told the reporter that he had a nefarious plan to keep the two lovebirds apart! “My daddy said he will lock him in a tower,” she said. However, it sounds like Mom is on her daughter’s side. Although she didn’t necessarily sanction the match, she did say that Toby was “lovely” and that the children were “good friends.” What this little girl said next was even more surprising! Screengrab from TikTok Once the topic of her boyfriend was exhausted, the 5-year-old girl was ready to move onto something else. Namely, her grandfather’s insect collection! “My grandpa has a scorpion and a praying mantis and loads of bugs,” she informed BBC News. Although this interviewer probably wasn’t expecting the conversation to go in this direction, he was clearly entertained by the little girl’s antics. When Daily Mail UK shared this hilarious video on social media, it quickly went viral! We’re wishing all the best to these star-crossed lovers. Let’s hope Dad doesn’t make good on his alleged threats toward the 5-year-old girl’s boyfriend! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
