In case you forgot, government officials love to get cringey over Taylor Swift. Remember when the FBI encouraged narcing through her lyrics? We now have a new low: Pennsylvania House Legislators arguing over whether to recognize 2023 as the “Taylor Swift Era.”
House Resolution 282 passed with 103 yes votes and 100 nays. It was introduced by Rep. Danielle Friel Otten — who excitedly tweeted after it passed — as well as Robert Freeman, Jennifer O’Mara, Arvind Venkat, Johanny Cepeda-Freytiz, Benjamin V. Sanchez, Jose Giral, and Maureen E. Madden.

There are many comparisons made between The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. While there is a subjective debate about which band made better music, there is no denying that The Beatles were the more successful band. There are many ways in which the bands are different, but guitarist Keith Richards perfectly summed up what made the two bands distinct.

Many U.K. bands, such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Kinks, emerged during the British Invasion. However, none of them were as famous as The Beatles. Beatlemania peaked in the mid-1960s, and the band remained at the top of the charts until they broke up in 1970. In a 1995 Rolling Stone interview, The Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger said it was impossible to compete with The Beatles during the 1960s,...

The man who admittedly gunned down beloved rapper Nipsey Hussle in a caught-on-video attack three years ago rested his strikingly short defense in less than three hours at his first-degree murder trial Wednesday — a day after he allegedly was jumped and beaten unconscious by fellow inmates in county jail.
Eric Holder Jr. sat at the defense table with an obviously swollen left eye and three staples in his head as prosecutors showed harrowing autopsy photos before resting their case by 10:30 a.m. and handing the reins to Holder’s public defender,...

It’s ’60s style over substance in this soft-core spoof directed by Robert Freeman, best known for photographing The Beatles’ album covers. David Anthony plays a rock idol kidnapped by four adoring fans. True to Freeman’s background the Mod fashions and psychedelic settings take precedence over the slight story by Donald Cammell (before he teamed up with Nicolas Roeg for Performance).

Updated with Ringo Starr reaction: Astrid Kirchherr, photographer and early friend of the Beatles whose avant-garde style helped transform the young band from ’50s-era greasers to moptop trend-setters, died Wednesday in her native Hamburg, Germany. She was 81.
The German newspaper Die Zeit reports that Kirchher died following a “short, serious illness,” with no additional details provided.
Beatles drummer Ringo Starr tweeted a tribute today, saying: “God bless Astrid a beautiful human being And she took great photos peace and love.”
Kirchherr, along with her friend Klaus Voormann, befriended the Beatles during the group’s early, pre-Beatlemania Hamburg club residencies, and the pair’s fashion sense — they were part of the city’s “Exi” (short for “existentialist”) youth subculture — quickly entranced original bassist Stuart Sutcliffe. Soon, the biker jackets and greased, Elvis-inspired pompadours so beloved by the teenage John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison were history, replaced with the style...

By the late 1960s, Jacqueline Bisset was clearly one of the "It" girls among a bevy of starlets who crossed over from flash-in-the-pan status to becoming a genuine star in her own right. Her breakthrough role opposite Steve McQueen in the 1968 blockbuster "Bullitt" helped catapult the British beauty to the top ranks of actresses who were deemed to have international boxoffice appeal. Among her major Hollywood successes: "The Detective", "Airport" and "The Deep". In between, however, Bisset was open to appearing in off-beat films that were most suited for the art house circuit. One of the more unusual productions was "Secret World", a 1969 French film that was the antithesis of the commercial successes she was enjoying. The film was directed by Robert Freeman, a famed photographer who is credited with shooting many of the classic album covers for The Beatles. (Some sources credit Paul Feyder as co-director...
