#WhatsHappening for August 6, 2017

Good Sunday morning, kids. Hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. If you missed Saturday Night Karaoke last night, you missed a rocking good time, but no worries- you'll have another chance to cut loose next weekend.

Lollapalooza 2017's opening day in Chicago's Grant Park had to be cut things short Thursday when bad weather forced an evacuation. 

As storm clouds piled up on the horizon, Lorde's manager pulled her from the stage and festival organizers told ticketholders the show would "not continue, please clear the park immediately. Follow instructions from the park and Chicago police."

Lorde apologized to concert goers before leaving the stage, saying, "I'll do everything I can, I'll be back."

I guess it's supposed to be Courtney?

This year's Seattle Art Fair will feature a number of paintings and drawings by the late Kurt Cobain, including some never seen works.

The collection will not be offered for sale.

August Darnell wants everyone to know he is not the Kidd Creole that was arrested on charges of stabbing a homeless man to death this week.

Darnell, a.k.a. Kid Creole of Kid Creole and the Coconuts says some fans have been confused by media reports of the incidents. Darnell told Billboard that he had been "in a recording studio in Copenhagen for the last 2 weeks. I did not know about this situation. Now that I know, I still do not know... to the KCC fans who were concerned by this news, all I can say is IT WASN'T ME. But thanks anyway for the concern."

Actor Marwan Kenzari is reported to be in negotiations to play Jafar in Disney’s live-action remake of Aladdin.

While the film is, at least, casting actors of Middle Eastern heritage for the title role and the villain- I have to wonder why they thought Will Smith was the best choice for the role of the genie? Or, for that matter, why they thought an actress of Indian ancestry was a good good choice for Princess Jasmine- seeing as India is not the Middle East.

Matchbox Twenty fans in Tuscon had to wait a while before the band's show at Casino del Sol could start after a swarm of "a couple thousand bees" invaded the venue.

Beekeepers were finally able to clear the insects out and the show started around 9:15. A post on the band's official Instagram showed the beekeeper giving a thumbs-up in front of a pale blue truck, captioned, "The bees couldn't stop us. Thanx for sticking with us Tucson!"

I'm sure I've told this story before, but six or seven years ago, we went to see the band at Philips Arena and the show started (maybe) twenty minutes late. No biggie, it's rare to attend a show that starts on time. In fact (again, my experience), the "bigger" the name, the later they start.

Matchbox Twenty was different from every other band I'd ever seen, though- because the first thing Rob Thomas did, before they even played a note, was to apologize for the delay. 

Birthdays today include: Eric Roberts (33) and Travis McCoy (36) of Gym Class Heroes; Donna Lewis (44); Geri Halliwell of Spice Girls (45); Randy DeBarge of DeBarge (59); Pat McDonald of Timbuk 3 (66); and Mike Elliott of the Foundations (88). #MusicalBirthdays
