Singer John Legend and actor/rapper Common teamed up for the soulful Oscar-winning song “Glory,” which was written for the Oscar-nominated film “Selma.” While the historical drama itself was snubbed from any Oscar wins (which led to a lot of buzz about the Oscars being racist or biased), “Glory” took home the win in the “best original song” category.
Walking in the Thought Lot Saturday night, the first thing many people heard was the sound of a mandolin, guitar, fiddle, banjo and many more bluegrass instruments that were full of twang as the band Seldom Said No and Jerry Rigged took the stage for the night. Seldom Said No was the first band of the night, and it covered songs, such as Led Zepplin’s “Going to California,” “Shadowplay” by Joy Division and “Hey Darlin’, Do You Gamble?” Seldom Said No also ended up adding another member as they played — Scott Matlock on the fiddle. About an hour later, the night switched over to Jerry Rigged, another local band from Chambersburg.

In honor of the late Kurt Cobain’s 48th birthday on Feb. 20, I thought it would be proper to give a track-by-track review of Nirvana’s sophomore album, “Nevermind.” Released in late 1991, the album knocked Michael Jackson out of the No.
I am not a fan of many of the big TV network shows. They do not do it for me in terms of comedy or drama; but ABC’s newest comedy, “Fresh Off the Boat,” has become the exception. The show, set in the ’90s, is about 12-year-old Eddie Huang and his family as they move from Chinatown in Washington, D.C., to Orlando, Florida, and the challenges they overcome trying to obtain the “American dream.” Some of these challenges include Eddie’s dad’s (Louis Huang) old west restaurant is not doing well, which was the whole reason the family moved to Orlando.
