Dolly Parton Recorded a New Song for a Time Capsule That Won’t be Opened Until 2045
Dolly Parton released her latest holiday album, A Holly Dolly Christmas, back in the fall, but it turns out the country icon recently recorded another new song. The only thing is fans won’t be able to hear it for 25 years because it’s currently entombed in a time capsule buried in Dollywood. In her new book, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, Parton revealed that she sealed the new song inside a wooden box buried at DreamMore, the Dollywood resort opened in 2015. Via NME, Parton instructed her staff not to open the time capsule until 2045, the 30th anniversary of DreamMore’s grand opening. “It would be a song that will never be heard until 30 years from the time we opened the resort,” wrote Parton, adding that the idea was presented by her marketing department. She explained, “They said, ‘You’...
Xena’s Lucy Lawless Slays Hercules’ Kevin Sorbo for Spreading Misinformation About Capitol Riots
It’s been decades since Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess last had a crossover, but the lead stars of both ’90s shows changed that on social media last night. When Kevin Sorbo, who played the muscular Greek hero, claimed left-wing agitators caused the Capitol insurrection on January 6th, Lucy Lawless herself came to the rescue to obliterate him and stop the spread of misinformation. The digital battle started when Rogan O’Handley, an attorney and Donald Trump supporter, shared a picture of known QAnon and far-right extremists inside the Captiol hallway and suggested they were actually violent Democrats. “Do these look like Trump supporters? Or Leftist agitators disguised as Trump supporters…” he tweeted. Sorbo, who is a Trump supporter himself, amplified that cons...

The track, features special guest Ryan Hayes, is taken LOVE AND DEATH‘s upcoming album, “Perfectly Preserved”, which will arrive on February 12 via Earache Records. The disc is described in a press release as “a blistering but accessible full-length follow-up, driven by the spiritual resilience inherent in the first record, combined with an even starker depiction of real-life struggle.” Anger, broken relationships, lowered self-worth, and the collision of optimistic values with oppressive systems are all on display, from the arresting refrains of “Tragedy”, “Death Of Us” and “AfflictionR...

MICHAEL ANTHONY Says He Never Got To Reconcile With EDDIE VAN HALEN: ‘It Kind Of Bothers Me’
During an appearance on the latest episode of the “Talkin’ Rock With Meltdown” podcast, former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony was asked when the last time was that he spoke to Eddie Van Halen before the legendary guitarist died last October.

But, you know, life and the show goes on.” Anthony also talked about the first time he saw Eddie play live. He said: “We were just out of high school, and in the city where...
