The girl who challenged Dave Grohl to a drum battle is co-writing a song to perform with the Foo Fighters – CNN

Nandi Bushell, the young multi-instrumentalist who captured thousands of people's hearts after she began sharing videos of herself rocking out as she played the drums and guitar while screaming, immediately accepted his invitation during a video chat last week. During their virtual conversation -- in which Bushell met the rock legend for the first time and taught him how to scream while doing drumrolls -- Grohl asked her to perform with his band. "When the Foo Fighters finally come back to the UK, do you think that you would get up onstage and jam with us?" Grohl asked. "But it has to be at the end of the set, because you're gonna steal the show. It can't be at the beginning of the set, because if you come out first, it's just all downhill from there."

Coronavirus live news: US again confirms world record daily cases as Victoria marks 16 days with no infections – The Guardian

2.30am EST02:30 Martin Love If you stand on the cliff at Land’s End with your back to the sea and the majesty of England stretching ahead of you, the first thing you see is a theme park. It’s not the most promising introduction to the country. But my friend Ed and I had our sights set well beyond the expensive ice-cream and Arthur’s Quest experience. We had them fixed 874 miles away – on John o’Groats. Many midlife adventures spark into life in the pub after one too many pints and a chaser of bravado. Ours, however, was a direct reaction to the foreshortened horizons of the pandemic.

"It's not a record, but it pretty much puts a bow on it -- we'll probably be purple two weeks in a row. That ship has sailed," OC CEO Frank Kim said Friday.
