Garth Hudson has shuffled off this mortal coil. He was 87.

Garth was the last remaining member of The Band. Robbie Robertson died last year, and they were pre-deceased by Levon Helm, Rick Danko, and Richard Manuel.

Featured with Bob Dylan, and also in Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Waltz,” The Band’s hits include “The Weight,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “The Shape I’m In,” and so many more. Their album, “Music from Big Pink,” is one of the best of all time.

Hudson’s passing is sad news. An era has ended for good. But their music lives on and on.

Today, we sadly say goodbye to Garth "Honey Boy" Hudson, the last living original member of The Band. A musical genius and cornerstone of the group’s timeless sound, Garth once said, “I found some true enjoyment in helping people get to the bottom of their feelings.” Through his… pic.twitter.com/IdVidFbLOp

Carrie Underwood’s bizarre performance at Trump’s inauguration has had mixed results.

On amazon, there have been no sales of albums. Not a single one is in the Top 100.

Over at iTunes, five albums have hit the top 100, but not in any kind of major way. They’re all low on the chart.

Nothing’s happened to boost Underwood’s biggest hit, “Before He Cheats,” her most appropriate song for Trump.

This month, Carrie has sold 17,261 albums almost all from streaming. Actual sales is 1,666. Not great.

What a weird moment yesterday when Underwood was announced. First nothing happened. Then a nano second of pre-recorded music. This was followed by Underwood picking up her microphone a la Barbara Harris in Robert Altman’s “Nashville.” (The Trump like politician has just survived an assassination attempt.) She just started singing, and invited people to join her in “America the Beautiful.” Her voice wobbled at first until she found some equilibrium.

Underwood has been criticized for singing for Trump who — following his swearing in — wiped out the White House arts and culture commission, also stands against DEI, trans kids, the climate, and abortion.

He’s also been found guilty in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial, with 34 felony convictions.

Something’s going on in Bieber world.

According to reports, he’s stopped following wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber on Instagram. Likewise, she isn’t following him.

He includes almost no pictures of the couple on his page. She has none of him on her page.

This is the way you know what’s going on in 2025, by the way.

Yesterday he posted pictures of himself smoking pot through a bong, dressed as Zorro. When the pictures first went up, they were accompanied by Johnny Cash singing “There You Go.” The song begins: “You’re gonna break another heart, you’re gonna tell another lie.”

The song has since been removed from the post. The pair just had a baby. Maybe Justin’s feeling a little excluded. Maybe Trump broke them up in an Executive Order.

The full lyrics do not indicate a happy situation.

You’re gonna break another heart
You’re gonna tell another lie

Well, here I am and there you go, you’re gone again
I know you’re gonna be the way you’ve always been

Breaking hearts and telling lies is all you know
Another guy gives you the eye
There you go

There you go
You’re gone again
I should’ve known
I couldn’t win

There you go
You’re by his side
You’re gonna break another heart
You’re gonna tell another lie

Because I love you so, I take much more than I should take
I want you even though I know my heart is going to break

You build me up and for a while I’m all aglow
Then your fickle heart sees someone else
There you go

There you go
You’re gone again
I should’ve known
I couldn’t win

There you go
You’re by his side
You’re gonna break another heart
You’re gonna tell another lie
