As Canvas Stadium hosts its first cocert tonight as part of the CSU PBR Last Cowboy Standing, I looked back at the acts that have performed at CSU. The legendary lineup includes U2 and the Rolling Stones. Plus Elton John helicoptering in just for fun.

From Bob Dylan to the Rolling Stones (along with a few drop ins by Elton John), CSU's upcoming PBR events are just the latest in a long musical lineup.

It's always fascinating when CSU's @natpen.bsky.social has a new paper out. The latest: Is it better to have your "best friend" be your romantic partner or platonic friend?

Jordan Kraft Lambert thinks we all need to talk more about poop.

CSU's director of ag innovation spoke with The Audit podcast about why bringing manure and other ‘offal’ topics to the table - figuratively and literally - could equal a more sustainable, profitable ag industry.

"Scholars, fans and comedians have buried our heads in the sand so long ... (But) it’s a potential rallying tool for folks on the right, just as it has been for those on the left." - Nick Marx, CSU researcher and author of “That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them.”
From Joe Rogan to Greg Gutfeld, more conservative comedians are stepping into the spotlight
Comedians have been joking about politics for probably as long as there have been politicians. But in the past few years, there's been a noticeable shift in political comedy.

Note to self, never use the restroom during a Josh Blue show.
Denver comedian Josh Blue delights in silence.

"I have a bit where somebody gets up and I'll be like, "Where are you going?" And they'll go, "To the bathroom." And I'll be like, "You want me to wait?" And then I'll wait the entire time they're gone. It gets a laugh without me saying anything."
Comedian Josh Blue will never completely figure out stand-up. And that’s how he likes it
In his new special, filmed at Comedy Works South in Greenwood Village, Colo., Blue invites audiences to laugh along with him at his disability, his divorce, child-rearing and the absurdity of life.

Today is self-care Thanksgiving: we're watching the parade and holiday movies, staying in our comfy PJs, skipping the way-too-much-effort turkey and focusing on the side dishes, and taking the dog for a walk. No stress; no politics; just family. The real world will still be there tomorrow.

CSU political science researcher James "Pigeon" Fielder believes the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons is just the kind of "campaigning" that our political leaders need to be doing right now. col.st/VU2p5
