Martin Scorsese to Co-Direct Documentary on New York Dolls Singer David Johansen
Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi will co-direct a documentary on New York Dolls singer David Johansen. The yet-to-be-titled documentary does not have a release date but will be released through Showtime Documentary Films. The documentary will chronicle the singer’s nearly 50-year career, which began as a teen in New York City in the ’60s before he rose to fame with the Dolls.

Neil Young Writes Open Letter to Donald Trump Following Mt Rushmore Rally
Ahead of a speech at Mt. Rushmore, President Donald Trump played several of Neil Young’s songs, including “Rockin’ in the Free World” before and after he left the stage. Neil Young, as you might imagine, wasn’t happy about it. Now, Young has written another open letter to Trump, which was posted on his Neil Young Archives site. “Although I have repeatedly asked you to please not use my music because it indicates that I support your agenda, you have always played my songs anyway at your gatherings, with no regard for my rights, even calling me names on twitter,” Young wrote. “Because you are in charge of the Covid 19 response here in the USA, I will not sue you, (as certainly is my right) potentially distracting from your important work at hand protecting and saving American lives,” he cont...
2021 Mazda 3 Turbo Packs 227 HP and All-Wheel Drive
It looks like Mazda Mexico let the brand’s upcoming turbocharged 3 out of the bag a wee bit early. Originally slated for a July 8 reveal (according to a teaser Mazda released a few weeks back), the latest addition to the Mazda 3 family had the wraps formally pulled off of it over the weekend in a video posted to Mazda Mexico’s YouTube channel and hosted by Miguel Barbeyto, the president of Mazda’s Mexican arm. Per Barbeyto, the most powerful variant of the Japanese brand’s compact model boasts a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder under its hood. It’s almost certainly a familiar engine to Mazda fans, as a turbocharged 2.5-liter unit is already available in models such as the CX-5 and CX-9 crossover SUVs, as well as the 6 sedan. As in those Mazd...
