How Eric Clapton Reacted to Seeing Jimi Hendrix Play for the 1st Time

When Roger Daltrey first saw Led Zeppelin as an opening act for The Who in 1969, Daltrey knew the Zep was a force to be reckoned with. Though Pete Townshend has spokes about bands like Zeppelin copying The Who, Daltrey saw it differently. “Zeppelin took it to another level,” Daltrey told Classic Rock magazine years later. “There was a power there. … I thought they were fantastic.” As Daltrey noted, rock

Steele takes lead with 61 to get another chance in Sony Open

HONOLULU (AP) — Brendan Steele had the lowest score of his PGA Tour career with a 9-under 61, giving him a two-shot lead and another chance to win the Sony Open. Steele has reason to still be smarting from last year. He had the tournament all but won until a series of errors over the last three holes he played to lose in a playoff to Cameron Smith. And if Saturday was any indication, even a two-shot lead isn't safe. Overnight rain at Waialae Country Club, coupled with the tropical wind not even strong enough

James Harden is already having a blast as a member of the Brooklyn Nets. The former Houston Rockets star debuted with his new team Saturday, posting 32 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds as the Nets defeated the Orlando Magic 122-115.
