Ruben Gallego is the foul-mouthed senator from Arizona who defended the Seditious Six by claiming all they were doing was explaining the rules soldiers must follow. He sounded like a complete fool because obviously that’s not what the Seditious Six we’re doing.

The first time I met Cory Pesaturo, he had just hijacked the stage at a wedding in Boston with an accordion strapped to his chest. Little did I know he would do the impossible: make me a fan of the accordion. Cory is — and I’m not exaggerating — the world’s best accordion player. He’s won the accordion World Championship three times. He holds the Guinness World Record for playing the accordion for the longest continuous time. He brings his accordion with him everywhere, and can play just about anything, including the accordion tracks in the feature film “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.” Most recently, he took his talents to Saudi Arabia, which is now officially a “major ally” of the United States. The Saudi Arabia he presents is much different from the Saudi Arabia most Americans probably imagine. — Brent Scher *** Earlier this month, I arrived in Saudi Arabia for my second visit to a country which has always seemed like a forbidden land to the West. I’d been invited again as a guest star to play accordion in the “Riyadh Season” concert series — this time with Egypt’s biggest singing sensation, Angham. What struck me, on both trips, was how aggressively the Saudis are betting on capitalism. Everywhere you go, the top Western brands are visible: Dunkin’ Donuts, Texas Roadhouse, Bath & Body Works, Chuck E. Cheese, and yes, Randy’s Donuts, with the giant donut on the roof are there for you in Riyadh. There is even a Disney castle and theme park. On every corner there seem to be concerts, tourist attractions, and massive development projects. The music you hear playing through the speakers of high-end locations? Jazz, Lady Gaga, or Burt Bacharach. The style of filming for major concerts?  Straight out of CBS’s Grammys playbook. Could a country truly hate America if this is what I was seeing? When I first traveled to Saudi Arabia two years ago, I didn’t even tell my father. You can’t lie to an Italian mother, of course, but my father? If he had known I was flying to a country he associated with the worst terror attack in American history, he would have tied me to my bed. Many of my friends felt the same, judging by their reactions when I returned: “Saudi Arabia? Are you insane? Are you trying to get arrested or killed?” But over the past decade, the Kingdom, under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has charted a different course. One built on peace, prosperity, and a surprisingly familiar engine: Western-style capitalism. It is true that in Saudi Arabia, you have no real rights against the state — no First Amendment protections, no guarantee of a fair trial, a mandatory dress code, and laws that make smoking pot or ordering a margarita about as plausible as Cardi B performing Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto on the accordion — a stunt I once pulled to win a national title. Yet, regardless of this different universe of ideas from the United States, I wasn’t afraid. The free market being unleashed in Saudi Arabia, even if still in a more state-run manner, is the greatest modern example of how a country thought to be an untrustworthy foe can turn into an important ally. What struck me most, though, was that while I was in Saudi Arabia, a Muslim socialist won the mayor’s seat in the financial capital of the world, New York City. Three different Saudis during the trip (including a Syrian security worker at the venue who had fled Bashar al-Assad’s regime) asked me some version of the same question: “What on earth are you Americans doing electing Mamdani? He’s crazy.” This, again, from inside the very center of Islam. And even they aren’t at all sold on the politics that Zohran Mamdani represents. My insight is anecdotal, but the friendships I’ve formed in Saudi Arabia reveal a people not so different from my own friends back home. They want peace. They want prosperity. They want their families to be happy. They want to travel. They want to have fun. I asked them everything — about Israel, Islamic extremism, terrorism, drinking, drugs, dating, hating their boss, weekend plans, and which video games keep them up until 4:00 a.m. Watching a group of young men in Riyadh blast pop music at 1:30 a.m. as they inched through a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-through, talking about girls and killing time, looked the same as you’d see in America. Different faiths, different cultures, same very human scene. A handful of companies profit from global conflict. But 99.9% of businesses in a free-market economy — from Nike and Coca-Cola to Apple and Tesla — depend on global stability and rising disposable income. Peace is profitable. In just a decade, Saudi Arabia has gone from a place many Americans fear to visit to a place I can’t recommend enough to go see. If that’s the result of “greedy capitalism,” then count me in.

Getting into the Christmas spirit can be a challenge for some people, but we have something that will make anyone smile. Julien Cohen is a celebrated French pianist and teacher who loves to make people smile. And he’s the king of the flash mob. For Christmas, he put together one of the most touching flash mobs we’ve ever seen. As a young girl walks along a path toward a piano in Paris, windows high above open, and carolers begin to sing. The crowd looks on in wonder as musicians begin to play their instruments. “Our biggest flashmob ever.. Together with @violin_phonix we gathered 100 musicians to perform a new orchestral version of Carol of the Bells for the inauguration of the Christmas Lights of the @comitefaubourgsainthonore in the heart of Paris,” he wrote on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julien Cohen (@itsjuliencohen) The Christmas Flash Mob Moved Many Seeing the innocence and the beautiful music in the Christmas flash mob touched the hearts of many in the Instagram comment section. People thanked Julian for sharing his talents with the world. “I love the boy with the electronic guitar, and this girl is so sweet, incredible performance!” Someone wrote. “I got goosebumps,” another person declared. “Could cry over this energy,” a follower agreed. “The French know how to put on a show!” A fan applauded. The video made a huge impression on one person, who left a beautiful comment. “I thought my heart was pretty frozen this Christmas season. I wasn’t feeling much joy. And then my mom sent me this and now I’m sobbing and my dog is looking at me wondering why I’m having a meltdown. Thank you for sharing something so beautiful. The music, the magic of the little girl turning on the lights, the singing, the other little girl on her electric guitar! It’s beyond wonderful. Thank you thank you,” they wrote. We didn’t know we needed the Christmas flash mob, but it definitely hit the spot. This story’s featured image can be found here.

For generations, people have argued about one particular aspect of Christmas. No, we don’t mean Santa Claus. We aren’t talking about elves. And don’t even get us started on whether or not Rudolph really had help from any of those other reindeer. We want to settle the argument once and for all. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? The movie’s star, Bruce Willis, shared during a 2018 roast that the movie was not a Christmas movie. But his wife, Emma Hemming Willis, disagrees.   “I think it’s important to put Die Hard on because it’s a Christmas movie,” Emma told People at the End Well 2025 conference in Los Angeles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emma Heming Willis (@emmahemingwillis) Bruce Willis Loved Christmas Emma explained to People that, prior to his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, celebrating the holidays was very important to the family. “Bruce loved Christmas, and we love celebrating it with him,” Emma said. “There is still joy. It just looks different.” Emma Hemming Willis and Bruce Willis share daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. Bruce also shares Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31, with his ex-wife, Demi Moore. Together, they’ve created a bit of a miraculous blended family. Many Hollywood relationships can be ugly, but the extended Willis family is a beautiful exception. Last year, Emma shared an Instagram video decorating her Christmas tree in honor of Bruce Willis and their family. She and her girls did a beautiful job. “Lol…your girls are growing up so fast!! Hope you had a Merry Christmas! My Mother had dementia and passed away 12-22-23, so it was tough this year, but supporting you in your fight!! It is not easy for the families/caregivers! I had both my Mom and Dad here in my home at one point, both in hospice, and I work!! It takes a village!!” She wrote. For the record, we’re with Emma. Die Hard will always mean Christmas to us.

Alan Jackson spent his early years in Georgia working small jobs while developing the writing and singing style that would eventually define his recording career. His break came after his wife helped him connect with Glen Campbell’s music publishing company, which encouraged him to move fully into professional songwriting. That effort led to the release of his debut album Here in the Real World in 1990, a record that opened the door to hit singles and introduced him as one of the central voices of the nineties country scene. From that starting point, Jackson recorded a long line of studio The post Complete List Of Alan Jackson Songs From A to Z appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.
