Summertime: when the weather, activities, emotions and music coalesce to make memories, for better or worse. I, for example, am still triggered by Heat of the Moment by Asia, which was big during the summer of 1982, during which I suffered a very bad breakup. Even today, a few notes are enough to bring back that university-era hurt. Anything from Green Day’s Dookie immediately transports me to the summer of 1994. You’re probably thinking of your own personal songs of summers gone by.There’s another level to this. Each year, there are one or two songs released in May or June that rise to the level of universal ubiquity by midsummer. It’s the earworm with the contagiousness of the measles. It’s an inescapable hit that no one is capable of avoiding. If you’re not listening, you’re at least he...

Canadian musician Matthew Good has announced that he’s cancelling his U.S. tour dates in protest of U.S. President Donald Trump’s government and its ongoing tariffs policy. Good, 54, made the announcement Saturday on Facebook, telling his U.S. fans that he cannot “in good conscience carry out my dates this summer in your country.”“This is not fair to you, and I’m very well aware of that, but the truth is, every week that goes by, I have a deeper disdain for what’s going on there politically,” the four-time Juno winner wrote.“My world has always focussed [sic] on political awareness, and I know that you might not all be on the same side, so I want to be clear about this,” he continued. “It’s MY opinion, and I’m willing to risk my future US career, to stand up against things today, and god w...

R Madhavan is one such actor who can justify any role perfectly, and his latest release, Aap Jaisa Koi proves the same.  The movie holds a special place in Madhavan`s heart as a major part of it was shot in his hometown Jamshedpur, Bihar. During the shoot, the Tanu Weds Manu actor happened to pay a visit to his school, bringing back some not-so-pleasant memories. Talking about the experience, Madhavan revealed that being in the school again reminded him of all the insecurities about his future that he used to feel as a student.  "I got a chance to visit my old school, and as soon as I stepped in, all the insecurities I used to have about my future started coming back. Until 8th or 9th standard, we just enjoyed ourselves, but after that, I became scared about not being successful in life...
