I’m sticking with The Handmaid’s Tale for now; in the latest episode we see a lot of very improbable situations that need to happen in order to move the plot along but at last, finally, the main story moves away from Gilead. Does that mean things are going well for June? I don’t think it’s a major spoiler to say “nope, not really.” But we get to see some backstory for Janine, who asks June some uncomfortable questions in the present. More of that, please. The back half of the season looks promising. Our trailers this week have a theme of sorts: Sequels. Trailers for the sequels to A Quiet Place and Stranger Things, and third trailers for Loki and In the Heights. A Quiet Place Part 2 As my colleague Alex Cranz noted, this movie had its theatrical premiere last March but was ...

Lloyd Price, best known as the early rock 'n roll icon behind hits like "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," "Personality" and the semi-forbidden "Stagger Lee," is dead at age 88. Price's wife, Jacqueline Price, confirmed to the Associated Press that he died on Monday at a long-term care facility in New Rochelle, New York, due to complications from diabetes. Price was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. He is among the last survivors of a post-World War II scene in New Orleans that anticipated the shifts in popular music and culture leading to the rise of rock in the mid-1950s. Along with Fats Domino and David Bartholomew and others, Price fashioned a deep, exuberant sound around the brass and swing of New Orleans jazz and blues that placed high on R&B charts and eventually cross...

EXCLUSIVE: At age 83, Noel Paul Stookey still has plenty to say. The singer/songwriter, known as the "Paul" in the ‘60s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, recently released "Just Causes," a compilation of 15 songs, each highlighting a theme of social concern, including the environment, hunger, and drug trafficking, among others. The star paired each song in with an appropriate non-profit organization to benefit from the album’s net proceeds.  And Stookey is no stranger to singing for a good cause. The group’s version of "If I Had a Hammer" became an anthem for racial equality. The band famously performed Bob Dylan’s "Blowin’ in the Wind" at the August 1963 March on Washington. They also protested the Vietnam war and joined the fight to improve the working conditions of California’s farmwo...
