#WhatsHappening for March 22, 2016

Hey, hey- whaddaya say? Happy Tuesday kids. Hope Monday wasn't too much of a dick to you. And look on the bright side- tomorrow is Wednesday and that's means we'll be halfway done!

The Go-Go's will be gone gone, come August 30th, after they wrap up an 18 show tour this fall. 
The band's farewell tour kicks off August 2 in Clearwater and wraps up August 30 in the band's home town of Los Angeles.

"After a 38-year run, we are gearing up for one last blast of a summer tour," the band told Entertainment Weekly. "We feel so lucky and so grateful to have had the incredible support of our fans for so long. We can't wait to get out on the road and give the people what they want: some loud, fast music and a great party!"
Jane Wiedlin had already said on her blog back in February the the farewell tour was going to happen- though no dates were announced. She wrote it was "with mixed feelings that we embark on our last adventure together. What an incredible ride we have had. I hope you will continue to follow all of us on our future endeavors."

I am not a "Lord of the Rings" fan. The movie, nor the book.

When I was about nine or so, my sister loaned me her copy of "The Hobbit"- which I thoroughly enjoyed. Then, I tried "Lord of the Rings."

To me, it was so boring I couldn't even finish it. The same thing happened when I tried to watch the movie. To this day, I've never seen more than about 10 minutes at a time of any of them. 

Now that I think of it, though- the only Peter Jackson movies that I've ever thought were worth watching are "The Frighteners" and "Heavenly Creatures."

I'm pretty sure that means we have absolutely nothing in common, except this he thinks Jake Gyllenhaal is "the worst actor that I have ever seen," according to a story Gyllenhaal told Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show" last night. 

Then again, "Donnie Darko" would've sucked no matter who was in it.

Is she standing on something, or just freakishly tall?

Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at a Nashville children's hospital last Friday to help American Idol host Ryan Seacrest open a broadcast studio for patients.
Swift met with children at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after a ribbon cutting. 
"What I saw when I went there was an opportunity for the kids to find excitement and to express their creativity and to learn about what it is to create content, whether you would like to make your own radio show or whether you want to record," said Swift. "It was so exciting to see the excitement that it brought to this one hospital."
Sure, her music isn't my speed, but she seems like a genuinely nice person- so there's that.

Birthdays today include: Aaron Wright North of Nine Inch Nails; Susanne Sulley  of the Human League; Stephanie Mills; Patrick Olive of Hot Chocolate; songwriter Andrew Lloyd Webber; George Benson; and Roger Whittaker.
