October 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, Oct. 14, 2007 …

The Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers documentary, Runnin’ Down a Dream, debuted at the New York Film Festival.

The four-hour documentary, directed by Peter Bogdanovich, gave insight into the history of the band from its early days as Mudcrutch, to its 30th anniversary concert at the University of Gainesville in Petty’s Florida hometown. It also touched upon Petty’s solo career and his work with the Traveling Wilburys.

The film featured archival footage, as well as interviews with fellow musicians such as George Harrison, Stevie Nicks, Jeff Lynne, Jackson Browne, Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl.

The doc was originally released as a four-disc box set that included not only the movie, but a disc featuring the 30th anniversary concert and a disc of rare tracks.

The movie won a Grammy for best music film.

Felicidades! Dua Lipa earns Spanish certification while touring the world

October 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Dua Lipa is out here doing the most. While traveling the world on her Radical Optimism tour, running her Service95 Book Club and, of course, taking time out for fabulous food and vacations, she’s also casually earned a certification in Spanish.

On her Instagram Story, Dua announced, “Just graduated this morning in my GCSE Spanish,” shouting out her instructor, who she called “the best teacher.” She posted a photo of herself on a Zoom call, holding up her certificate while her teacher, on the split screen, is holding up a balloon.

In the U.K., where Dua is from, a “GCSE” stands for “General Certificate of Secondary Education,” and is a test you typically take when you’re 15 or 16, showing that you have basic language skills and cultural understanding. Dua isn’t stopping there, though.

In another Story, she posted a pic of the textbook for the next level of study, which in the U.K. is called an “A Level.” You generally take it between the ages of 16 and 18, and if you pass, you can then study at the university level.

“Next next next!!!!” she captioned the photo.

Dua also noted on another Story post, “I don’t want this leg [of the tour] to end!!” She next plays Seattle, Washington, on Oct. 15 and 16. The tour’s scheduled to wrap Dec. 5 in Mexico City.

Justin Moore is more famous as a coach in ‘Small Town USA’

October 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Justin Moore‘s one of the relatively few country stars who don’t live in Nashville. Instead, he and his wife and four kids live in his hometown of Poyen, Arkansas.

While the locals certainly realize the “Small Town USA” hitmaker is among them, Justin says he’s much more well known for coaching his kids’ sports teams — and he likes it that way.

“You know, they’re all happy for me and my family and proud for us, but they don’t really care, which is awesome. That’s exactly what I hoped for moving back here, you know,” he says. “And if I walk in school to go get my kids or whatever, I’ve got 10 kids comin’ up going, ‘Hey, coach JM!’ ‘What’s up, coach?’ ‘Hey, coach!’ That’s what they know me as, which is super cool to me.”

Justin’s latest top-25 hit is “Time’s Ticking” from his This Is My Dirt album.

Bruce Springsteen on ‘Electric Nebraska’: ‘It was a bit of a shock’

October 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Bruce Springsteen is set to release the Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition box set, which includes the long-rumored Electric Nebraska. While the recording is something fans have speculated about for years, up until recently Springsteen didn’t know it existed.

“I was taken aback when I found out Electric Nebraska was something real, that we’d gone as far as we had,” he says in a new interview in Mojo. “But we went back and found the tapes, and it was a bit of a shock. It was a surprise to me. And I think it’ll be a surprise to fans.”

Springsteen says fans shouldn’t expect the songs to be full E Street Band takes on the acoustic Nebraska songs.

“For most of the electric versions, we cut the band down to three pieces. And they were just howling. It’s this very primitive sort of rock ’n’ roll,” Springsteen says. “When I went back and listened to it, I was shocked to find that that’s the way that I approached it at that particular moment.”

And while Springsteen chose to release acoustic songs that he recorded on cassette tape, he says it wasn’t necessarily because the electric ones were bad.

“There’s no way to fully and completely understand why one recording seems to be speaking in the right tongue and another isn’t,” he says. “Were they better than the electric versions? That wasn’t even the question. The bedroom recordings did something for me that no other version of the songs seemed to be doing. That was the only measure I could go by.”

Nebraska ‘82: Expanded Edition will be released Oct. 24 in four-LP plus Blu-ray and four-CD plus Blu-ray configurations.

There aren’t many beer run opportunities during Maroon 5’s tour

October 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Maroon 5‘s Love Is tour, in support of their new album of the same name, is currently underway. The set list so far includes two songs from the new album, “All Night” and “California.” That’s because, as Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine explains, they know why their fans are coming to see them.

“You know, you go to see your favorite band that’s been around for a long time, and as soon as they say, ‘Hey, here’s our new album,’ then it’s usually time to go get a beer,” James tells ABC Audio. “And we wanna give people what they want. And what they want is the songs that they know.”

Maroon 5 is definitely endeavoring to give fans that with this tour, with hits from “Memories” to “She Will Be Loved” and everything in between. Also on the set list: the Gym Class Heroes collaboration “Stereo Hearts” and “Lost Stars,” which Adam Levine recorded for the soundtrack of his 2013 film Begin Again.

The show is also longer than the one they played during their two-year Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. And, James explains, there’s one other difference.

“Because we were set up there night to night, I think we took more of an approach of telling the story of the band through the set,” James says of their Vegas shows. “And that was really interesting.”

“I think that we’ve always kind of been like, ‘Hey, here’s our songs. Here’s the songs you want to hear. Let’s sing along. Let’s have a good time,'” he notes. “But it was cool to sort of craft this story that we could tell throughout the set.”

Producer Andrew Watt on the funny thing Mick Jagger does while recording

October 13, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Mick Jagger has a very unique way of recording music, according Andrew Watt. He produced The Rolling Stones‘ last album, 2023’s Hackney Diamonds.

Watt tells People that the more Jagger sings, the more clothes come off.

“Something that I find really funny when he sings … He comes in every day and he’s wearing a T-shirt, a button-down and a cashmere sweater every day, even if it’s hot,” Watt explains. “As he starts singing, and it starts getting good, the layers start shedding. So, he pulls his sweater off, and he starts unbuttoning his shirt and shedding layers.”

Watt says, “By the time he’s in his T-shirt, he’s full-blown Mick Jagger dancing, singing his a** off. So it’s my job to get him down to the T-shirt pretty much.”

And Watt is apparently good at that job. Hackney Diamonds went on earn The Stones a Grammy for best rock album. Plus, Watt has already confirmed that he’s working with the band on their next release.

In a September interview with Rolling Stone he said, “I’ve said it before, but it’s like working for Batman. When the tongue is up in the air, you just go. … I can say we did some recording together, but that’s all I can say.”
