Shaboozey ‘rides’ onto new ‘Rolling Stone’ cover

June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Shaboozey “Rides Again” on the new digital cover of Rolling Stone.

In the new article, the “Tipsy (A Bar Song)” hitmaker reveals the inspiration for his new album, The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales, which comes out July 31.

“It’s a revisionist Western challenging the norms of what you see in Westerns. It’s about this woman wanting to get revenge against a group of people who, honestly, are trying to do what they feel is right. A group of people who have been discarded and are just looking to survive, looking to fight back,” he tells Rolling Stone. “I was thinking about my past relationships with people I loved, and getting backstabbed, and still loving the person that backstabbed you. It all went into this project.”

The second new tune from the record, “Cowgirl,” came out on Friday.

Shaboozey launches his Outlaws Never Die Tour Sept. 8 in Phoenix.

Bob Dylan’s been digging deep into his catalog on new tour

June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Bob Dylan launched the latest leg of his North American tour last week, and he’s been adding some deep cuts to his set.

During his Saturday show at Chateau St. Michelle Winery Amphitheatre in Woodinville, Washington, Dylan opened the show with a performance of “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere” from 1975’s The Basement Tapes. It was the first time he’s performed the track live since November 2012, according to setlist.fm.

But that wasn’t the only time he dug deep into his catalog for his set. During opening night in Troutdale, Oregon, on June 4, Dylan performed “Baby, Won’t You Be My Baby,” a track from 2014’s compilation The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete. It was the first time he’s ever performed the song live.

Dylan is set to play Eugene, Oregon, on Tuesday, and has dates confirmed through Aug. 1 in Nashville, Tennessee. A complete list of dates can be found at BobDylan.com.

‘Change My Mind’: Ella Langley blocks Riley Green on the ‘Billboard’ chart

June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Riley Green’s collecting his seventh career #1 as “Change My Mind” climbs to the top of the Mediabase country airplay chart.

The news comes as the Alabama native’s just locked in the final piece of his total TV domination, having just wrapped his hosting gig on ABC’s CMA Fest special, which airs June 24 on ABC.

This spring, he made his acting debut in Marshals on CBS, and he’ll be a coach on NBC’s The Voice in the fall.

Ironically, Ella Langley is blocking Riley on Billboard Country Airplay this week, with “Be Her” grabbing its second week at #1; “Change My Mind” takes #2. Of course, Riley and Ella have two number ones together: “you look like you love me” and “Don’t Mind If I Do.”

His fourth studio album, That’s Just Me, is slated for Sept. 18.

Watch Madonna dance in a bathroom with Benedict Cumberbatch in new ‘Confessions II’ film

June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Madonna’s new short film, Confessions II, which she premiered at the Tribeca Festival Friday night in New York City, is now on YouTube for your viewing pleasure — and half the pleasure is spotting the celebrity cameos sprinkled into the 10-minute short.

The movie has a loose plotline that involves Madonna being stalked by ninja-looking female paparazzi wearing masks and revealing clothing, holding cameras on poles with bright lights. The action moves from a house, to a field, to a car, to a club, to a bathroom and, finally, to a hotel room, where one of the paparazzi is unmasked as Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon. She ends the film by saying, “Cut, b****.”

The whole thing is set to a handful of tracks from Confessions II: “I Feel So Free,” “Good for the Soul,” “One Step Away,” “Bring Your Love,” “Danceteria” and “Read My Lips.”

When Madonna first gets to the club, we see Julia Garner — who was supposed to play Madonna in a biopic that was later put on hold — dressed like the Queen of Pop in the “Open Your Heart” video. Sabrina Carpenter also appears to sing with Madonna on their hit duet, “Bring Your Love.”

The action moves to the bathroom of the club, which is where the celebrity cameos really get crazy: Among the people dancing, doing scandalous things or watching other people do scandalous things are Kate Moss, Gwendoline Christie, Marty Supreme star Odessa A’zion, Richard E. Grant and Madonna’s old pal Debi Mazar, who she name-checks in the song “Danceteria.”

The most unexpected cameo, though, is a suit-wearing Benedict Cumberbatch, who dances with Madonna in the center of the action before lipsyncing the line, “Everybody get up and dance!”

Bruce Springsteen cuts ribbon on the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music

June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Bruce Springsteen was on hand Saturday for the ribbon cutting at the new Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music on the campus of Monmouth University in Long Branch, New Jersey.

“I took a short tour through the center the other day and when I came out, I was thrilled that I wasn’t dead,” Springsteen said in a speech, according to video posted to YouTube by the Asbury Park Press.

He thanked those who helped put together and support the building, and noted, “I’m particularly thrilled to be sharing this building with all this wonderful musical history and with so many of my artists, teachers, mentors, and heroes.”

“And I look at my work life as a very small link in a mighty chain,” he added. “And those who visit here will get a sense of that chain through the lives, work, and vision of all these historic, historic artists. I’m also glad and relieved that fans will now have another place to go instead of my house.”

The Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music is set to open to the public on Saturday. Tickets and more information can be found at SpringsteeenCenter.org.

The opening celebration included two concerts, dubbed Music America: The Songs That Shaped Us, at Monmouth University on June 4 and 5. The concerts featured performances by Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Public Enemy, Sheryl Crow, Jackson Browne and others.

According to setlist.fm, at Friday’s show Springsteen performed Elvis’ “Jailhouse Rock”; Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” with Crow; and Eddie Floyd’s “Raise Your Hand” with Stevie Van Zandt. He ended the set with his own track, “Land of Hope and Dreams.”

On This Day, June 8, 1991: Bruce Springsteen married Patti Scialfa

June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, June 8, 1991…

Bruce Springsteen married E Street Band member Patti Scialfa in a private ceremony at their Los Angeles home.

The couple started dating in 1988 during the Tunnel of Love tour while he was separated from his first wife, model Julianne Phillips. Phillips filed for divorce in August of that year.

After living together in New Jersey, Springsteen and Scialfa moved to Los Angeles, where they welcomed their first child, son Evan, in July 1990. After their marriage, they went on to have two more children, daughter Jessica, born in December 1991, and son Sam, born in January 1994.

The couple, who currently live in New Jersey, became first-time grandparents in July 2022, when Sam and his fiancée welcomed a baby girl.

In September 2024, it was revealed that Scialfa had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, in 2018. It caused her to step away from touring with the E Street Band.
