See ya: the coronavirus pandemic has taken another victim: Britain's Q Magazine, which is shutting down its publishing after 34 years. Starting in 1986, it's first cover was PAUL McCARTNEY, followed by ROD STEWART and ELTON JOHN along with other stars through the years including MADONNA, PRINCE, KATE BUSH, NIRVANA, a pregnant BRITNEY SPEARS and a naked TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY. BONO was in the final issue, saying "I'm gonna miss it... because it had everything I want from a music mag... All the serious and all the silly... The scholarship deftly done."
While we're on the subject, the Bahamas is closed for folks from the USA beginning tomorrow (Wednesday). Prime Minister HUBERT MINNIS said they'd had 49 new coronavirus infections since the country opened on back on July first, and most of their visitors come from the US --many of those from Florida, which has seen more and more coronavirus infections. They'll still let Canadians, and people from the UK and Europe into the islands, provided they have negative results from a molecular COVID test upon entry.
There's a new "Grease" movie in the works --this one a prequel called "Summer Lovin'." The Wrap reports it's inspired by the “Grease” song “Summer Nights,” in which Danny and Sandy separately tell their friends about the summer fling they shared prior to the events in the musical.
Look for the FOO FIGHTERS, JIMMY BUFFETT, JEFFERSON STARSHIP and NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK doing a Fenway Sessions Livestream benefitting the Red Sox Fund and Live Nation’s Crew Nation charity for Covid-19 aid tomorrow (Wednesday) night starting at 7:05 pm (Eastern). Rolling Stone reports all the proceeds gathered will benefit touring and venue staff.
Fast food: The folks at Carvel have a new seasonal flavor for you to try in their ice cream orders or shakes --Vanilla Bourbon Toffee ice cream. It's at Carvel locations for a limited time.
