I hope the dog is OK.
A man in Pennsylvania had been cleaning a shotgun and placed it on the bed. Officers were informed that “a dog had jumped up onto the bed, causing the shotgun to go off, which openly struck the male.”

The man had been cleaning a shotgun and placed it on the bed shortly before it was fired. He received treatment at an area hospital.

This is a really thoughtful assessment of a show I attended and loved. One thing that I would add is that compared to a lot of the 70+ year old singers still touring, Byrne‘s voice still sounds pretty decent.
Saw David Byrne this week, and of course I had thoughts.

The David Byrne concert was so, so good!
Someone should give him a bajillion dollars to do a 6-month residency at The Sphere. Imagine what he could do there!
