The Game shares post supporting LA protesters amid ICE immigration raids

June 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The Game bleeds LA, and he’s standing in solidarity with people protesting against the immigration raids in the city.

Game took to Instagram Monday to share a post expressing his support. “Ever since I could remember… it’s been black & brown in this city. From the early days of my childhood til now, we’ve been side by side through it all. All of us. All the time. Not always seeing eye to eye but we’ve shared Los Angeles for a very long time,” he wrote alongside photos from the protests.

He continued, “I stand with y’all like I know you’d stand with us. ‘We might fight against each other… but I promise you this.. we’ll burn this b!%?! Down get us pissed!!!!!’ To live & die in L.A.”

Game’s known to be a proud LA native. When wildfires erupted in the city earlier this year, he went out to the affected areas, rescuing animals, connecting with survivors and doing whatever he could to help. He even delayed the release of Documentary 3.

“I was working on the album, city caught fire in a few different directions and I felt kind of weird being in the studio trying to complete the album. And so I left [the] studio,” Game said at the time, noting he made his way to Altadena because he knew people there and thought the area was neglected in comparison to the Pacific Palisades.

“I kind of stopped the album and that three weeks kind of really took a hit on where I was creation wise, but I’m back in and I’m re-motivated,” he said, noting it was tough to find the vibe again.

“I’ll try to get it out to my fans as soon as possible,” Game said.

Miley Cyrus says in 2013, her siblings were embarrassed to be related to her

June 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Miley Cyrus was one of the most controversial figures in pop culture in 2013: Not only did she appear naked in her now-iconic video for “Wrecking Ball,” she caused the world to collectively lose its mind when she twerked on Robin Thicke during the MTV VMAs. And apparently that was hard on some of her family members.

While appearing on the latest episode of Monica Lewinsky‘s podcast Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, Miley says, “I was so embarrassed. There was even a time where my brother and sister didn’t want to go to school because of how humiliated they were to be related to me.”

Miley has five siblings, but she didn’t specify which ones she was talking about.

“I remember my brother at one point was saying, ‘I don’t judge you, but you could understand how hard it is for me to go to school, and you be my sister,'” Miley recalls.

Miley tells Monica that that time was “really hard” for her, adding, “I lost everything during that time in my personal life because of the choices I was making professionally.”

“If I kept dressing or acting a certain way, my relationships fell apart. No one wanted to date me because they didn’t want to be with a woman [whose] sexual expression part was not for them. It was like shared with the world,” she said.

Specifically, Miley said when she posed nude or danced in skimpy clothing, the guys she was involved with would “feel like I was taking something away that was meant to be for them.”

Even worse, she said, was facing her grandmother during that time: “I was like, ‘Oh, God, this is gonna kill her.'”

June 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, June 10, 1985…

Forty years ago, Talking Heads released their sixth studio album, Little Creatures, which turned out to be the band’s most commercially successful release.

The album featured a slew of radio friendly hits, including the single “And She Was,” which peaked at #54 on the Billboard Hot 100, but also landed at #11 on the Mainstream Rock charts, as well as in the top 40 on two Billboard dance charts.

Thanks to two other popular songs, “Stay Up Late” and “Road to Nowhere,” Little Creatures became a top 20 hit for Talking Heads, and went on to sell over two million copies in the U.S.

Talking Heads went on to release two more albums after Little Creatures, 1986’s True Stories and 1988’s Naked, before breaking up in 1991.

Cher’s beloved mom, Georgia Holt, passed away in 2022 at the age of 96, but she remembered her on Monday, which would have been Holt’s 99th birthday.

On social platform X, Cher wrote, “Hey Mom, Happy [Birth]Day. Sometimes I Talk 2 U, Need 2 Ask U a Question, Or I FORGET, & THINK, OH..GOTTA CALL MOM.”

She continued, “We Both Know U Could Be a Little Off The Wall Sometimes, BUT MOM, I AM WHO I AM … BECAUSE OF U. [Love] Me.”

Cher and Holt, who like her daughter was a very colorful character, were very close. The two teamed up for a 2013 documentary called Dear Mom, Love Cher, which detailed her multiple marriages, and her relationship with Cher and her sister Georganne LaPiere, as well as Cher’s children Chaz and Elijah.

David Byrne announces new solo album and tour

June 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

David Byrne is back with his first solo album since 2018’s American Utopia.

The former Talking Heads frontman will release Who Is the Sky? on Sept. 5, and has recruited some special guests to join him, including St. Vincent, Paramore’s Hayley Williams and The Smile drummer Tom Skinner.

The album features songs arranged by the members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra, and Byrne is previewing the record with the release of the track “Everybody Laughs.”

“Someone I know said, ‘David, you use the word ‘everybody’ a lot.’ I suppose I do that to give an anthropological view of life in New York as we know it,” says Byrne. “Everybody lives, dies, laughs, cries, sleeps and stares at the ceiling. Everybody’s wearing everybody else’s shoes, which not everybody does, but I have done.”

He continues, “I tried to sing about these things that could be seen as negative in a way balanced by an uplifting feeling from the groove and the melody, especially at the end, when St. Vincent and I are doing a lot of hollering and singing together.”

Who Is the Sky? is available for preorder now in a variety of formats, including a limited edition cantaloupe orange/strawberry pink split vinyl with a lenticular cover.

Byrne has also announced a new tour in support of the album, which will kick off in North America on Sept. 14 in Providence, Rhode Island, wrapping with two nights in Miami, Dec. 5 and 6.

An artist presale is happening now through Thursday at 10 p.m. local time, with tickets going on sale to the general public starting Friday at 10 a.m. local time. A complete list of dates can be found at DavidByrne.com.

Lee Brice loves the rhythm of his deceptive new hit

June 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Lee Brice‘s longtime friend and frequent collaborator Jerrod Niemann is one of the producers on his latest hit, “Cry.”

Lee says the first time he heard it, the rhythm got him.

“I started beating on drums with my thumb — no sticks or nothing — and beating on guitars with my fingers,” he recalls. “And, like, Jerrod singing. … And I really wanted it to be a ’50s doo-wop, like a true homage to that.”

With the addition of a little “hip stuff,” “Cry” was soon finished and ready to surprise listeners.

“They hear it and they’re like, ‘Whoa! This is way different than what I thought the title was,'” Lee tells ABC Audio. “And so it’s been going over well, and it’s just so fun to listen to, and so fun to sing and play it live.”

You can check out the “Cry” video now as Lee prepares to release another collaboration with Jerrod, Randy Houser and Jamey Johnson.

Taylor Swift wins restraining order against alleged stalker

June 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

After requesting one on June 6, Taylor Swift has won a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker who she claims has shown up at her home multiple times.

According to her request for the order, obtained by ABC News, Taylor said that the man in question, 45-year-old Brian Jason Wagner, had allegedly showed up to her Los Angeles home at least three times in July of 2024, during which he “made various statements about living at my property,” “being in a relationship with me,” “believing I am the mother of his son” and “needing to see me in person.”

In her request, Taylor shared more chilling details: Wagner had allegedly returned to the home in May of 2025, she wrote, and when her security team ran a criminal history report, they found out that Wagner was previously incarcerated.

A member of her security team also made a declaration that during his time behind bars, Wagner “sent hundreds of communications” trying to reach Taylor, which discussed “at length his infatuation with Ms. Swift” and “the existence of a romantic relationship with her.”

Also in 2024, Wagner allegedly tried to stop mail from being delivered to Taylor’s house, and obtained a California driver’s license listing her house as his address, according to the declaration.

Taylor concluded, “The fact that Mr. Wagner has determined where I reside and visited the property several times, refusing to leave and claiming to need access, makes me fear for my safety and the safety of my family.”

In granting the temporary restraining order on Monday, judge Debra R. Archuleta required Wagner to stay at least 100 yards away from Taylor and her home. Whether or not the order will be made permanent will be decided at the end of June.

June 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

A new clip from Eddie Vedder‘s upcoming documentary, Matter of Time, is streaming now via RollingStone.com.

The film follows the Pearl Jam frontman and his wife Jill Vedder‘s work with their EB Research Partnership organization, which endeavors to find a cure for the genetic disease epidermolysis bullosa, or EB.

“When I first learned about EB and when I first met my friend’s child that’s affected, we were just like, ‘This is the most crazy, intense, brutal thing I’ve ever seen,'” Jill says in the clip.

Jill adds Pearl Jam fans will often approach her and say, “I love what you guys are doing … for the kids with EB.”

The clip shows Eddie strumming an acoustic guitar as he prepares to perform at an EB Research Partnership benefit concert.

“The closer you get to this community and the more you understand it, you cannot escape how difficult the challenges are for these families,” Eddie says.

Matter of Time premieres at New York City’s Tribeca Festival on Thursday. Eddie will perform an acoustic set following the screening.
