The legendary 90 year-old singer and songwriter Frankie Valli started his musical career in 1951. He achieved fame with the group Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, with hits like "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man". Recently, videos from his current tour went viral on the internet because he wasn't singing in sync with the playback and sometimes barely moved his mouth. This led fans to comment that it might be 'elder abuse,' suggesting someone was possibly forcing him to tour despite his inability to perform. However, in an official statement to People, the musician said that he is touring because he wants to. Frankie Valli responds to people who criticized his recent live shows "I know there has been a lot of stuff on the internet about me lately so I wanted to clear the air. I am blessed to be 90 years old and still be doing what I love to do and as long as I am able, and audiences want to come see me, I am going to be out there performing as I always. I absolutely love what I do. And I know we put on a great show because our fans are still coming out in force and the show still rocks." "How do we do the show?! The Four Seasons sound was always about layering vocals and instruments. We use our 60 years of experience so we sound like the records. I sing, I have singers who sing, great arrangements….everything. I get a chuckle from the comments wondering if someone forcing me to go on stage. Nobody has ever made me do anything I didn’t want to do." "I plan to be doing shows as long as I can, delivering that great Four Seasons sound. Like that line in Jersey Boys, I’m like that bunny on TV, that just keeps going and going and going. Chasing the music," Frankie Valli said.

William Frederick Gibbons, best known as Billy Gibbons was born in Houston, Texas back in 1949 and started his career in the late 60s being lucky enough to be part of the Moving Sidewalks, which was Jimi Hendrix's opening act during a few dates. But it was in 1969, when he co-founded ZZ Top alongside Dusty Hill and Frank Beard that everything changed. They started as a really respected Blues Rock group but they achieved a huge commercial success in the 80s, adding a few new elements to their sound. The group sold an estimated amount of more than 50 million records worldwide and are certainly one of the most influential American groups. Since he was a kid, Gibbons had the chance to see many incredible musicians playing and he once revealed who is the best singer of all time, in his opinion. The singer that Billy Gibbons said is the best of all time 16 years ago, Rolling Stone magazine invited famous  artists to vote for their top 20 singers of all time. These individual selections contributed to the final tally that determined the definitive list of the greatest vocalists ever. Gibbons' pick for the first position was the late legendary Little Richard, who is considered one of the godfathers of Rock and Roll music. Growing up in Houston, a musical city especially back then, Gibbons had the chance to discover many different kinds of music. But certainly, Richard was one of his main influences when he was a kid. He talked about that in an interview with Shindig magazine in 2023 "About 1967. The 13th floor Elevators (Other Texan band), they hit pretty hard, I want to say ’66. That was the first single, ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’. They were out there! And after The Coachmen, preceding The Moving Sidewalks, we added some horns. We had three saxophone players because Little Richard was our hero. His singing, I don’t think there’s been another rock & roll singer that can eclipse his singing." "But his band came from Houston. The Grady Gaines Orchestra. Little Richard, he was from Macon, Georgia, I think. But Don Robey was a real astute black guy, businessman in Houston. He had two big nightclubs, The Bronze Peacock and The Eldorado Ballroom. He also ran The Buffalo Booking Agency. It was named after Buffalo Bayou which is the meandering river that runs through Houston." Billy Gibbons continued: [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSx91WBQLpg&pp=ygUcYmlsbHkgZ2liYm9ucyBsaXR0bGUgcmljaGFyZA%3D%3D[/embed] "A real entrepreneur, this guy had it all covered. Gambling in the back, cops paid off in the front, cops paid off over here. And then later he acquired Duke Records and Peacock Records and believe it or not the original Duke and Peacock building, it’s a ghost of a shell, but it’s still in Houston, down on Rastus Street. So anyway, The Grady Gaines Orchestra, Don Robey signed Little Richard and he originally appeared on the Peacock label, which is more of a gospel label." "But you can still hear some of those early Little Richard things – ‘Red Beans, Rice And Turnip Greens’, ‘Two Many Drivers At The Wheel’, they were secular, they were not gospel, but we took a page out of that book. We were called Billy G and the Ten Blue Flames, but we weren’t ten it just sounded good. I’ve got some posters, I’ll see if I can dig them out," Billy Gibbons said. Little Richard Little Richard was born in Macon, Georgia back in 1932 and started his career in 1947. He became one of the godfathers of Rock and Roll music, releasing many highly influential songs in the 50s. Some of them were "Long Tall Sally", "Tutti Frutti", "Good Golly, Miss Molly" and "Lucille". Besides a singer, pianist and songwriter, Richard was also a minister. He even abandoned Rock for a while to record Gospel music. During his career he released 19 studio albums, the final one being "Southern Child", released in 2005 but recorded in 1972. He passed away in 2020 at the age of 87.The post The singer that Billy Gibbons said is the best of all time appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

They've had the technology since 1947 to either intensify or change the direction of tropical cyclones or hurricanes. It's been admitted they have been used as 'weapons'...

I can’t imagine it will stand for very long.... Hard to fathom he is being honoured for destroying the states economy and mandating the clot shots. #clowntown

All dogs are different, but specific breeds have unique tendencies that are recognizable to people who know dogs. And few people know dogs as well as veterinarians, vet techs and dog groomers. Vets are animal experts, of course, but many people take their dogs to get cleaned and primped far more frequently than they take them in for health checkups, so groomers see a huge range of dog breeds on a regular basis. Basically, if you want to know about typical dog breed behavior, look to the people who trim their claws, whether they work at an animal clinic or the PetSmart grooming salon.A TikTok video from @ktbergeron shows what appears to be two vet techs doing a reenactment of how different dog breeds respond to having their nails clipped, and it's hilariously spot-on. By "reenactment," I mean full-on, "human on the grooming table on all fours acting like a dog." It's truly something to behold—and especially fun if you've actually owned one of these dog breeds. First comes the Pug, who goes feral, writhing on its back as the tech tries to get hold of its paw. Next, the anxious Chihuahua, who doesn't want anyone to come near her. Third, the friendly Pit Bull whose tail wags so forcefully its paw can't stay still. Then comes the Golden Retriever, who obliges but with some seriously trepidatious side-eye. And finally, the Beagle, who…well, that one you just have to hear.Watch: @ktbergeron What #breed do you have?? #veterinarian #vettechlife #veterinary #arkanimalhospital #nailclipping People in the comments are rolling over the accuracy. "The biblically accurate beagle howl ?????.""LMAOOO why is the pug one so accurate ??.""The golden retriever side eye is so relatable.""Beagles really come with their own sound effects." "Tengo un chihuahua, un pug y una beagle y SUPER CONFIRMO ??"Commenters were also clamoring for them to do other breeds, with many people specifically requesting she do a Husky. The other big request was that the tech be given an Oscar for her performance. What a fun way to kill some downtime at work. It sounds like everyone agrees a Part Two is in order as well. Perhaps a Jack Russell Terrier and a Shih Tzu next, please?This article originally appeared on 4.27.23

If you wanted to create a human with the most Gen X superpowers possible, the recipe would be pretty simple. Just get Kurt Cobain's kid to marry Tony Hawk's kid and have a baby, right? Welp, that's exactly what has happened, and it's like a 90s fever dream come true. Frances Bean Cobain—the daughter of infamous grunge legends Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love—married skating legend Tony Hawk's son Riley in October of 2023. How this news slipped past a good number of us Gen Xers is a mystery, but it's probably due to our stage of life. We're too busy caring for aging parents and putting kids through college to consume celebrity news like we used to. But whatever. That oh-so-Gen-X thing actually happened. And now the 90s offspring supercouple just welcomed their first baby—Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk—and we typically chill Gen Xers are having a hard time staying cool over it. — (@) The most Gen X thing that's ever happenedFirst of all, how is it possible that Tony Hawk and Kurt Cobain could be grandpops? Isn't Gen X still young and hip? Are we really hitting the grandparent era? And second of all, this is so frickin' rad. Needless to say, the commentary on the announcement is epic:"Kurt Cobain’s daughter and Tony Hawk’s son just became parents? That’s a rockstar-skater royalty baby right there! Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk is bound to have some serious genes and an even cooler future ahead. Talk about a legendary family tree!""This is the craziest 90s collab I've ever seen.""This kid has just been born and is already the coolest person alive.""Imagine Kurt Cobain and Tony Hawk are both your grandfathers, you’re like the Son Goku of white people."via GIPHY"Alternative rock and Xtreme sports literally defined the 90s for yt ppl. His grandparents are the legends in both!""The most '90s grandchild to ever live.""This is the most gen x thing i have ever seen....""Finally, they have created the most chill human on the planet.""Kid's got the coolest name ever on top of the coolest family tree.""That is going to be the raddest child of all time.""That kid is 90s legacy. Pain and sadness met with high energy happiness and had a baby."Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk has some awfully big shoes to fillSome people are pointing out the pressure that can come with having incredibly famous family members, making jokes about how the kiddo will likely surprise us all by being remarkably average. via GIPHY"The most rebellious thing he could do is grow up and get a regular job as an accountant.""This kid is going to grow up with the most unreasonable expectations and end up being a farmer in Illinois or something just to get away from it.""And we though Lisa Marie Presley had an impossible standard to live up to. Godspeed, Ronin."Of course, the kiddo doesn't actually have to fill any shoes—it's not like he chose to be born into 90s pop culture royalty and who knows how those genetics will actually play out. He could be a musical genius with incredible motor control or he could be something totally different. Kurt Cobain and Tony Hawk led very different lives early in their fameDespite both being Gen X icons, Tony Hawk and Kurt Cobain were polar opposites in some ways. Cobain struggled with a lot in his too-short life, including physical and mental illness that eluded diagnoses, poverty and a broken family, and isolation fueled by drug addiction. He spurned the fame and fortune that came catapulting his way, not really knowing how to handle it, but before he was able to realize his dream of a simpler life with daughter Frances Bean, he tragically died by suicide at age 27. His musical genius and influence on rock music are still lauded to this day.via GIPHYTony Hawk's story bears little resemblance to Cobain's, other than his huge success. He stayed away from drugs early in his rise to fame and became part of the anti-drug PSA campaign in his youth. He did slip into some over-drinking and use of painkillers in his 30s, but then stepped away from the partying lifestyle altogether. Though he retired from competition in 2003 and is no longer trying to push the envelope with new tricks, he still skates for fun at age 56. His four children came from his first three marriages, all of which ended in divorce, and he's been married to his fourth wife since 2015. The public knows him as a good guy with a friendly disposition (and a good sense of humor about people telling him he looks like Tony Hawk). How these two famous men's genes express themselves in little Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk will remain a mystery for some time, but one thing's for sure: This kid will go down in history as having the two gnarliest granddad's ever. Welcome to the world, little Ronin. Whatever you do, please use your Gen X superpowers for good.

Clear communication and consistency are essential when dealing with children. An excellent way for parents to be consistent in their parenting is to have a hip pocket full of memorable one-liners that remind their kids to treat everyone respectfully, including themselves. These one-liners also help establish and reinforce family rules.Nicole, a mother of three and founder of the Raising Kind Kids Club, is going viral on TikTok for a post where she shares the memorable one-liners she uses with her children, who are now teenagers. The one-liners are all examples of kind, gentle and respectful parenting. They are also a great way to reinforce rules and values.“Cause when we say things over and over and over again, it can feel like ‘Oh my gosh, why do I have to keep repeating myself?’ so we have some one-liners that just make things so much easier and more importantly, they work cause our kids know what they mean,” Nicole shared in her video with over 1.9 million views. @raisingkindkids Parenting one liners that work to make parenting easier Like this gem: you can be mad without being mean. Add yours! #par#parentsoftiktokr#parentingtipsr#parentinghacksr#parenting101s#respectfulparentingi#raisingkindkids Here are 10 of Nicole’s go-to one-liners:When Nicole’s children complain that their friends get to do things they don’t, she says: “Every family has different rules.”To remind her kids that it’s never okay to make fun of someone’s appearance, she says, “We don't comment on other people's bodies."Nicole’s husband has a great line for when her kids mock something someone likes: “Don't yuck someone else's yum.”Nicole doesn’t believe that her children should be forced into friendships, but she does want them to be respectful, so she reminds them that “You don't have to be friends with everyone, but you have to be friendly.”To teach her children about consent, she regularly says: "Stop means stop" and "No means no." When they’re being adventurous and could injure themselves: "Make good choices for your body.”She confronts disingenuous apologies with: "I'm sorry it's just words a real apology is a change in behavior."When the kids are being sarcastic, she asks for clear speech: "Say what you mean and mean what you say."When her children are scared and need to push through the emotion, she helps them gain extra strength by saying, "It's okay to be nervous. You can be brave and scared and do it anyway."If her kids come to her with a problem, she allows them to choose her response: "Do you want help, advice, or just listening?"The folks in the comments had some additional one-liners that can also be very helpful for raising kind kids. “I learned a ton more great one-liners from our online community,” Nicole told Upworthy. “But my favorite new line is: ‘You don’t have to like them but you can’t recruit other people not to like them.’ This is from @TheLadySarah and it's a great way to remind kids to avoid 'mean girl' behaviors, which can quickly turn into social bullying behaviors.”Here are a few other memorable one-liners from folks in the comments:"We keep surprises, not secrets.” “All feelings are welcomed. All behaviors are not.”"Dimming someone else's light does not make yours brighter."As a disability advocate, she shared her one-liner that teaches tolerance: “Everyone’s brains and bodies work differently.” Nicole told Upworthy she was inspired to start the Raising Kind Kids Club after her daughter was bullied. “The one thing that saved her mental health (and mine) was the kindness of others,” she said. “Kindness can be taught and we can encourage kids to want to be kind more often, eventually making kindness a habit. And that's how we can change the world around us: raise a generation of kind kids who speak and act with more kindness, more often, who stand up to bullying behaviors, who celebrate each others' differences and who show empathy and compassion to those around them.”You can read more about Nicole and her followers' one-liners at Coffee and Carpool.

When Michael Jackson died 13 years ago, the pop music world lost a legend. However markedly mysterious and controversial his personal life was, his contributions to music will go down in history as some of the most influential of all time. Part of what made him such a beloved singer was the uniqueness of his voice. From the time he was a young child singing lead for The Jackson 5, his high-pitched vocals stood out. Hearing him sing live was impressive, his pitch-perfect performances always entertaining. No one could ever really be compared to MJ, or so we thought. Out of the blue, a guy showed up on TikTok recently with a casual performance that sounds so much like the King of Pop it's blowing people away.Brandon Conway posted his first TikTok video ever on July 24, and in less than three weeks it's been viewed more than 27 million times. It's just him standing in a parking lot snapping his fingers and singing "The Way You Make Me Feel," but when he opens his mouth, whoa.As he keeps going, it gets even more whoa. Then he hits Jackson's signature "he he" and the whoa turns into what?!?Take a listen: @brandonconway11 First post on tiktok let me know what you guys think! More videos coming soon feom mj to country to rock so yall be sure to stay tuned!#fyp #singer #usherchallenge @usher @tpain #letsgo #firstvideo Uncanny, right? If you need a reminder of how Jackson himself sounded when he sang it, here's a live performance from Auckland during his 1996 world tour. Very impressive. You can follow Brandon Conway on TikTok to hear more from him.This article originally appeared on 8.10.22
