Afroman has filed a lawsuit against one of the officers who raided his home in 2022 and later sued him after he turned footage of the botched raid into music videos. The musician, real name Joseph Edgar Foreman, won the highly publicized defamation lawsuit brought against him by officers at his local sheriff’s office.

The civil suit filed in Adams County, Ohio on Monday, July 27 and obtained by Rolling Stone, accuses Brian K.

Noah Kahan Slams White House for Using His Song in Trump Promo Video

Noah Kahan has made it clear that he would never approve the use of his music to support the Trump administration.

On Monday, the White House posted a series of Instagram photos depicting President Donald Trump‘s visit to General Motors’ flagship test site in Michigan. During his stop, the president took the opportunity to boast about his controversial tariffs across the auto industry and pumped his fist while watching a drag race. The photo carousel was bizarrely soundtracked to Kahan’s “American Cars,” a song the artist wrote for his sister, Sasha, about how she’s the family’s problem solver.

Inside the Special Edition of the Beatles’ ‘Rubber Soul’​

The Beatles grew up on Rubber Soul. In the fall of 1965, the Fab Four went into the studio as the world’s favorite moptops — but they emerged as bold artists, ready to challenge the world. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr were experimenting with new sounds, weird ideas. They invented the whole idea of the album as we know it today — a full-length statement, rather than a hits collection. “Finally we took over the studio,” as Lennon told Rolling Stone.

Rubber Soul shocked the world as soon as it arrived in December 1965. But it’s never sounded better than it does now, on the long-awaited Special Edition. The new Rubber Soul drops on October 2, from Apple Corps Ltd and UMG. The new editions are available to pre-order here. “Michelle (Take 1)” is available to listen to now.
