Watch trailer for upcoming ‘The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel’ documentary

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The trailer for the upcoming documentary The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel is out now.

The film was originally announced by Netflix in January under the title The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and was said to focus on the early years of the “Californication” outfit, specifically the artistic vision of original guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died in 1988.

In a subsequent statement, RHCP clarified that film is not a Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary and that they “had nothing to do with it creatively.” The band added that frontman Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea gave interviews for the movie “out of love and respect for Hillel and his memory.”

“We have not yet made a Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary,” the statement read. “The central subject of this current Netflix special is Hillel Slovak and we hope it sparks interest in him and his work.”

The doc’s name has now been updated with the Our Brother, Hillel subtitle.

“Everything about the Red Hot Chili Peppers was all Hillel’s vision,” Kiedis says in the trailer.

The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel premieres March 20 on Netflix.

The Who’s Pete Townshend takes the Colbert Questionert

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Who’s Pete Townshend is the latest celebrity to take part in the Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s Colbert Questionert.

Townshend revealed that his favorite sandwich is pastrami on rye with mustard and a pickle; his first concert ever was Bill Haley & His Comets in 1958; his favorite action movie is Ang Lee’s Hulk; and that if he got only one song to listen to for the rest of his life it would be “Tracks of My Tears” by Smokey Robinson.

Asked what happens when we die, Townshend said he doesn’t believe anything happens.

“I think consciousness is what we are, not our bodies. So I think consciousness probably goes on in some form or other,” he said, adding that when people die, consciousness moves on. “Maybe then there’s a possibility of reincarnation or heaven and hell, whatever, I don’t know.”

When asked if he ever had an out-of-body experience, he shared a funny story of a bad STP trip he had on an airplane, noting that at some point he left his body and floated above the airplane, flying through the sky, which was filled with lost items like socks and buttons.

Asked whether he prefers cats or dogs, he choose dogs, but had a good reason why. Townshend said growing up he was a “snotty” kid, and every time he was sick his mother, who took in stray cats, would give him a cat to keep him company. When he was 12 he got tested and found out he was allergic to cats, noting that while his mom was trying to help, it actually “just made it worse.”

Finally, when asked to describe the rest of his life in five words, Townshend thought hard about it before saying, “Make another record, lazy (bleep).”

50 Cent seemingly continues T.I. feud on ‘Power’ prequel series theme song

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

50 Cent has gone from social media to the booth to create the theme song for his upcoming Power prequel series. “No One Told Us What We’re Here For” features Leon Thomas on the chorus and seemingly addresses T.I. and his family.

“I’m back with my dope boy grandma/ Your daddy made your mama eat every box in Atlanta,” he rapped on the track. 50 also posted a photo on Instagram featuring those lyrics over a photo of T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris, with cardboard boxes on their plates.

Shortly after, T.I. and his son King Harris responded with their respective diss tracks.

“@50cent Drop whatever you choose, just please keep showing da world You a H*!!!” T.I. wrote on Instagram, along with a clip previewing “Trauma Bond.”

King’s latest 50 Cent diss track is titled “Droptop.”

The songs continue a back-and-forth that started after T.I. alleged 50 Cent refused to go against him in a Verzuz. 50 then posted an unflattering photo of Tiny as one of his responses, which led to diss tracks from T.I., King and Domani Harris.

50 initially reacted with posts on Instagram, before temporarily going silent. He later teased in a since-deleted IG post that he’s working on a documentary that can expose sexual allegations against T.I.

“We can go bar for bar, hit for hit, or doc for doc… either way all you gon do is show how much of a FN u is,” T.I. posted on Instagram. “Let’s play. Nobody fears you over here Boo Boo.”

Lainey Wilson shares her plans for a family, Keith Urban’s advice

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Lainey Wilson and her fiancé, Devlin “Duck” Hodges, would like to have some little ducklings one day.

While appearing on the Australian podcast No Filter with Kate Langbroek, Lainey said she and Duck “definitely wanna have a family,” and then laughed, “You know, time’s a-tickin.”

“But I think him and I both would be good parents and I’d love to see him be a dad,” said Lainey.

When the host inquired as to whether or not Lainey and Duck would get married before having children, she confirmed, “Yeah, we’re going to get married. We’re going to do the whole thing and kids will be — you know, kids will be later, but we’re definitely going to do it.”

Lainey also called Duck her “biggest cheerleader” and said, “We, like, load up on the 4×4, the side by side, and ride around and we do all the simple things in life. Like that’s the things that bring us the most happiness, like riding down the road and going to hang out with the neighbors and things like that.”

The “Somewhere Over Laredo” singer also shared how important it is to have Duck in her life because he “helps me kinda come back down to my center.” But he’s not the only one: Lainey described how Keith Urban snapped her back to reality once.

“I ran into him and I was so tired, I had been on the road just, I think we played 180-something shows that year,” Lainey recalled. “So I saw him and I was telling him, ‘I’m tired.’ And he was like, ‘No whining on the yacht.'”

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Be Kelsea Ballerini

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The punch line to that old joke, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” is no longer “practice” — it’s “be Kelsea Ballerini.”

Kelsea has been added to the lineup for An Evening with the Grand Ole Opry, a special performance at the iconic New York City venue scheduled for March 20. She joins a bill that also includes Scotty McCreery, The War and Treaty and Rhonda Vincent. The event is part of Carnegie Hall’s United in Sound: America at 250 festival, marking the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Kelsea has been an Opry member since 2019. She was just 25, making her the youngest living member in the Opry’s history at that time.

An Evening with the Grand Ole Opry is the fourth Opry headlining performance at Carnegie Hall. The first was back in 1947, with now-legends like Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe, Minnie Pearl and The Carter Sisters. A 1961 performance featured Patsy Cline. A 2005 performance included Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Trisha Yearwood, Trace Adkins and Martina McBride.

On This Day, March 6, 1946: Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour was born

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

On This March 6, 1946…

Pink Floyd guitarist, singer and songwriter David Gilmour was born in Cambridge, England.

The now 80-year-old joined Pink Floyd in 1967, a few months before the departure of founding member Syd Barrett.

Gilmour’s first album with the band was 1968’s A Saucerful of Secrets, appearing on all but two songs. He has appeared on every Pink Floyd album since and took over leadership of Pink Floyd following the 1985 departure of Roger Waters.

Pink Floyd went on to become one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 250 million records worldwide. Their best-selling album, 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon, has been certified 14-times Platinum.

Gilmour has also released five solo albums, the most recent being 2024’s Luck and Strange.

Gilmour was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a member of Pink Floyd, and was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2003.

From Ashes to New releases new ‘Reflections’ song, ‘Die for You’

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

From Ashes to New has released a new song called “Die for You,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Reflections.

“It’s a song that captures the exhaustion of giving endlessly to someone who keeps asking for more and mistaking survival for love,” says vocalist Matt Brandyberry in a statement. “At its core, the song is about the moment clarity breaks through, forcing you to question how much of yourself you’re willing to lose.”

You can watch the “Die for You” video streaming now on YouTube.

Reflections, the follow-up to 2023’s Blackout, is due out April 17. It also includes the previously released tracks “New Disease,” “Drag Me” and “Villain.”

From Ashes to New will launch a U.S. tour alongside Black Veil Brides in April.
