Since the February 2nd episode of Friday Night SmackDown, The Rock has graced WWE programming once more, indicating his regular presence leading up to WrestleMania 40. His ongoing feud with Cody Rhodes suggests that The Great One will have a notable role in WWE in the coming weeks. Cody Rhodes utterly demolished The Rock on Monday Night Raw this week and it appears one WWE fan made a huge observation about Cody Rhodes that many did not notice.
The Rock, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes
Fans are eagerly awaiting a potential clash between The Rock and Roman Reigns, but there’s a collective desire to ensure that Cody Rhodes’ storyline isn’t overshadowed. Initially, there were concerns about this, but a more balanced approach has been taken. This has led to a change in the course of WrestleMania 40’s storyline, but it is something fans are genuinely enjoying now, following the initial backlash.

Fifty years ago this week — on March 29, 1973, to be exact — the ragged New Jersey country-rock band Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show got their wish: Rolling Stone put them on the cover.
Written by Shel Silverstein, the former Playboy cartoonist and children’s book author, Dr. Hook’s hit “The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone’” featured eyepatch-wearing singer Ray Sawyer on lead vocals, singing lines about buying “five copies for my mother” of the magazine. The band’s actual cover appearance was a colorful caricature of Sawyer and two of his six bandmates,...

Stephen Colbert and Late Show bandleader Jon Batiste took a moment on Thursday to reflect upon the artist who will forever be known as Prince.
RelatedWhat to Watch: 20/20: Prince, Death of a Legend
Before having the Ed Sullivan Theater lights dimmed to purple, Colbert gave Batiste the spotlight to share an anecdote about the seven-time Grammy winner, who died on April 21 at the all-too-young age of 57. Though he’ll most be remembered for timeless classics such as “Purple Rain” and “Kiss,” Batiste’s memory of working with the icon involved a lesson in courtesy.

In 1958, Don Kirshner was an unknown 23-year-old kid from the Bronx. Two years later, he was on his way to becoming one of America's most powerful and influential music producers. In five years, through his company Aldon Music, Kirshner launched Carole King, Neil Sedaka and Bobby Darin, among others, to superstardom and ushered in a new era of rock and roll.
"Those five years represented rock and roll's last gasp of innocence," writes Rich Podolsky in his recently published "Don Kirshner: The Man With The Golden Ear." "They were the last songs written before the Beatles changed the landscape of American music forever. They were great years for me and 60 million other baby boomers."
Kirshner went on to develop the Monkees and the cartoon band the Archies, whose "Sugar, Sugar" became a classic. In 1973, he produced and hosted "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert," a hugely popular live (not lip-synched) weekly TV...

Above you can see the first pic of Elton and David's baby. I could have lived without the bottom quote, but they missed out on a golden opportunity by not making it, "He shot out like a rocket, man." Below you can see the accompanying video, which features host Layla Anna-Lee, who can make everything sound salacious just with her accent. When she says, "thrashing" I expected her to follow it with, "you naughty, naughty boy!."
