Ted Nugent Goes on Tirade About Thanksgiving Gathering Restrictions
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and with coronavirus cases soaring, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends celebrating virtually or with the people you live with in an effort to curb the recent spike. Many local officials have mirrored this sentiment and suggest restricted gatherings this holiday season. But this is America. And Ted Nugent won’t let those “dirty, rotten, soulless bastards in positions of power” tell him what to do. “There are dirty, rotten, soulless bastards in positions of power that are trying to tell us how we can celebrate Thanksgiving with our families,” he said on the most recent episode of his Ted Nugent Spirit Campfire show. “We need to escape that ugliness — not turn our back on it, because we need to ...

It’s A Celebration!: Dave Chapelle Makes A Surprise Appearance on Joe Rogan’s Podcast
Source: NBC / Getty Joe Rogan’s podcast has been a known hotspot for icons and magnetic personalities to visit and shoot the sh*t, which may explain why Dave Chappelle popped in unannounced shortly after his hosting gig on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. The beloved comedian surprised his longtime friend and Comedy Central alum, Donnell Rawlings, two hours and twenty minutes into his scheduled interview with Rogan. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joe Rogan (@joerogan) Though the visit was brief, Chappelle was able to share his take on current events and how the coronavirus outbreak’s early days impacted him during his scheduled performances. “The last night we [Chappelle and Rawlings] were on tour, in Milwaukee. It was the last night between shows—it’s a two-show night—and...
Impeached Racist President’s Son Got The ‘Rona
Source: DEREK BLAIR / Getty Everyone could have predicted this one. Donald Trump’s namesake son has tested positive for the Coronavirus. Apparently, he’s known he’s tested positive for COVID-19 since Monday (Nov.16) but we all found out on Friday (Nov. 20). Jennifer Jacobs of Bloomberg News first reported that Junior caught the ‘Rona. who has been the first to report many of the infections in Trump’s orbit. Earlier this week @DonaldJTrumpJr tested positive for coronavirus and has been quarantining at a private location, I’m told. He’s following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines, a spokesperson says. — Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) November 20, 2020 Reportedly, the son of the impeached President, who took an L to Joe Biden, is quarantining.

Micro Changes in Tinytown: 2021 Nissan Micra Loses Diesel, Gains Trims
The Nissan Micra is an interesting, tiny little thing that in an alternate universe (maybe a late-2010s gas crunch?) might have made it to American shores as a gas-saving, subcompact commuter car. After all, it’s loaded with more character than a Versa, and our close Canadian neighbors had been able to buy Micras from their introduction in the early 1980s right up until this year, when it was finally discontinued. And in Mexico, the previous-generation Micra is still available as the Nissan March. But over in Europe, the Micra is still going strong, and it’s been updated for the 2021 model year. The biggest news for the refreshed model—it was all-new in 2017, looking a bit like a tinier Nissan Leaf—is a change in powertrains. A new 1.0-liter, turbocharged gasoline engine is now...
Updated Jeep Compass Debuts in China, Likely Points to U.S. Changes
Jeep’s taken the wraps off of a refreshed Compass in China, and we suspect the updates shown on the off-road-oriented brand’s small crossover will find their way to the U.S.-spec model for the 2022 or 2023 model year. Changes to the exterior of the Compass appear minor, with a new front fascia, reworked grille, and mildly revised headlight bezels replete with LED lighting, adding a hint of additional aggression to the Jeep’s mug. More significant updates appear within the crossover’s cabin. A revised dashboard emphasizes the interior’s width and welcomes a massive infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster, one of which measures in at 10.3 inches and the other at 10.1—we presume both are optionally available and a smaller infotainment screen and analog gauges are standard kit. As in ot...
BTS Reflect on Canceled World Tour Amid Coronavirus In ‘Life Goes On’ Music Video
BTS grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic taking away live concerts, especially their own Map of the Soul world tour, in the “Life Goes On” music video, released Friday (Nov. 20) along with the group’s latest album BE. Jungkook, the youngest member of BTS at age 23, directed the nearly four-minute sentimental visual, which brings the ARMY along their favorites’ reflective journey about how the world around them has evolved. V peers out the window while driving in their native South Korea and longingly stares at the Seoul Olympic Stadium, which would’ve been the first stop for their Map of the Soul world tour in April. Like most people coming up with indoor quarantine activities, V and his bandmates throw themselves a pajama party replete with pizza, video games a...
SAINt JHN Hosts a Model-Filled Photoshoot in ‘Monica Lewinsky’ Video
SAINt JHN called on DaBaby and A Boogie wit da Hoodie for his melodic While the World Was Burning track “Monica Lewinsky,” and on Friday (Nov. 20) the trio unveiled a luxurious new video for the song. “She’s my Monica Lewinsky / She gon’ bust it right here, ’cause it’s risky / She got the code like DaVinci / Only gotta text one time that you miss me,” JHN flows in the chorus, as he has his collaborators saunter around a photoshoot surrounded by stunning models. {“nid”:”9466067″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”Saint Jhn Delivers Electric Performance of 'Roses' at 2020 Billboard Music Awards”,”relative_path”:”\/articles\/news\/bbmas\/9466067\/saint-jhn-ro...
First Country: New Music from Garth Brooks, Morgan Wallen, Lee Brice, Chris Young and More
Garth Brooks, Fun (Only available to Amazon Music subscribers, but listeners can sample the album here) From his self-titled debut album 31 years ago, Brooks has always known his strength: not trying to be anyone but himself, not even his hero George Strait (though “That’s What Cowboys Do” sounds like it fell off a Strait album). He’s never paid attention to trends or fads to curry radio’s favor. But when you’re the top-selling solo artist in the U.S., calling your own shots is not only your prerogative, it’s mandatory. Many of the oft-delayed Fun’s 15 songs, including previous singles “The Road I’m On,” “All Day Long” and “Dive Bar” with Blake Shelton, live up to the upbeat title, as does Cajun twister “Party Gras (The Mardi Gras Song),” but there’s a lot more going on in this diverse se...

GM’s Diesel Full-Size SUVs’ Combined MPG Better That of the Much Smaller Infiniti Q60 Coupe’s
We already knew the next generation of full-size SUVs from General Motors—including the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade—are due to offer a diesel engine option. Now, though, we know just how efficient this powertrain makes the big three-row SUVs—or at least two-wheel-drive iterations. The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe diesel leads the lineup with a rating of 24 mpg in combined city and highway driving. It’s much more frugal than the gas Tahoe, which tops out at 18 mpg. The beefier 2021 Chevrolet Suburban diesel gets 23 mpg, a sum that bests the gas model’s rating by 5 mpg. For reference, the EPA rates the 2021 Infiniti Q60 sports coupe at 22 mpg combined—regardless of its six-cylinder engine’s state of tune. Similarly, the diesel-powered GMC Yu...
