Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings set for first tour as The Guess Who in 23 years

November 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings have announced their first tour as The Guess Who in 23 years.

The duo is set to hit the road on a Canadian tour that kicks off May 26 in Moncton, with stops in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and more. The Takin’ It Back tour, featuring former Eagles guitarist Don Felder as special guest, includes an appearance at the Ottawa Bluesfest on July 19, with the tour wrapping with a show at The Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver on Aug. 23.

“Randy and I are thrilled that our songs have never gone away. That people still want to hear us perform them live. We are going to go out and honor the music,” says Cummings.

Bachman adds, “I’m looking ahead and very excited to be joining up with Burton and touring as The Guess Who again. Together we created decades of incredible songs and memories that still stand strong today. Can’t wait to sing them with you all soon!”

The tour is the first trek for the duo since winning their fight to reclaim the band’s name.

In October 2023, Cummings and Bachman filed a lawsuit accusing former bandmates Jim Kale and Garry Peterson of tricking fans into thinking Cummings and Bachman were still performing with The Guess Who, when they were actually getting a “cover band.” They settled the suit in September 2023, with Cummings and Bachman acquiring the trademark for the band’s name.

In addition to the tour, Bachman and Cummings are booked to play the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario, on Jan. 31, and are set to take part in the Rock Legends Cruise XIII, scheduled for Feb. 23-27.

Trump administration still asking Supreme Court to block SNAP funding order

November 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

(WASHINGTON) — Amid efforts to end the ongoing government shutdown, the Trump administration has informed the Supreme Court that it intends to continue seeking a stay of a lower court’s order requiring full payment of November SNAP benefits.

That order remains on hold following a late-Friday night administrative action by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Solicitor General John Sauer told the court that if the government reopens, its request would become moot — but in the meantime, the administration is making clear that it still wants the justices to allow it to make an only a partial payment of SNAP benefits for the month.

The administration is currently seeking to “undo” hundreds of millions of dollars in SNAP benefits that went out after the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which operates SNAP, told states Friday afternoon that it was “working towards implementing November 2025 full benefit issuances” to comply with a court order.

The administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday for an emergency stay of a ruling by U.S. District Judge John McConnell ordering the administration to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for the month of November, saying it would partially fund SNAP with approximately $4.5 billion but that it needed the remaining funds to support WIC programs that feed children.

Justice Jackson granted the stay, pending a decision on the administration’s appeal to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Late Sunday, the circuit court denied the administration’s appeal, rejecting the administration’s argument that harm suffered by the government by complying with the order would outweigh the harm suffered by the millions of Americans who rely on the food assistance program.

“These immediate, predictable, and unchallenged harms facing forty-two million Americans who rely on SNAP benefits — including fourteen million children — weigh heavily against a stay,” wrote Judge Julie Rikelman.

On Saturday the USDA told states that they must “immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025” but 20 states said they had already begun the process of issuing full November benefits.

A federal judge in Boston has set an emergency hearing for Monday afternoon to consider the legality of the administration’s guidance that states “undo” SNAP benefits.

A group of state attorneys general argue that it would be nearly impossible — as well as unfair and illegal — to unwind hundreds of millions in SNAP benefits after they have already been issued.

“In the span of less than a week, USDA has circulated multiple formal guidance documents, each inconsistent with the prior one, forcing the Plaintiffs into a continual state of whiplash,” they argued in a court filing.

FDA removes ‘black box’ warning label on hormone replacement therapy for menopause

November 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — The Food and Drug Administration said Monday it will remove the “black box” warning from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products for menopause.

The change comes after two studies in the early 2000s claimed that there were major risks associated with HRT, including breast cancer. This led to the FDA placing its highest warning label on the drugs, prompting a significant decline in usage.

The public health agency estimates millions of women have avoided HRT out of fear of cancer or heart risks, based on an outdated analysis of data.

“This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest mistakes in modern medicine — the demonization of hormone replacement therapy,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said on Monday.

An expert panel formed at the FDA in recent months reviewed the latest scientific studies and recommended the removal of the warning, Makary explained.

“Hormone replacement therapy may improve the health outcomes of women at a population level more than any other intervention, arguably, with the exception of, say, antibiotics or vaccines,” Makary said.

The timing of when women initiate HRT “is an important nuance that has been lost” and “one of the design flaws” of the early 2000s studies Makary said.

Current understanding is that the benefits of HRT outweigh the potential risks when taken before age 60 or within 10 years of the onset of menopause.

“This is really the result of doctors waving a flag in the air for decades of women who have said, ‘Hey, we didn’t feel like we got the right information,'” Makary said.

Consumers will see a different label on the products in several months, he added.

There are still risks associated with HRT and women considering it should speak with their doctor as it requires a prescription.

On This Day, Nov. 10, 1975: Patti Smith releases her debut album, ‘Horses’

November 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, Nov. 10, 1975 …

Fifty years ago, Patti Smith released her debut album, Horses, considered one of punk rock’s seminal albums.

Recorded at New York’s Electric Lady Studios, the album was produced by Velvet Underground’s John Cale.

While it was only a modest commercial success, Horses was a critical darling and has often appeared on lists of the greatest albums of all time. It is often cited as a major influence for new wave, alternative rock and grunge artists.

In 2009, Horses was chosen by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

Supreme Court denies Kim Davis’ petition to overturn same-sex marriage ruling

November 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

(WASHINGTON) — The Supreme Court on Monday denied a bid from former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis to appeal her $100,000 damages suit and get the justices to revisit the landmark 2015 decision in Obergefell v Hodges.

The court did not explain its decision.

Davis gained international attention after she refused to issue a marriage license to a gay couple on religious grounds in open defiance of the high court’s ruling and was subsequently jailed for six days. A jury later awarded the couple $100,000 for emotional damages plus $260,000 for attorneys fees.

In a petition for writ of certiorari filed in August, Davis argued First Amendment protection for free exercise of religion immunizes her from personal liability for the denial of marriage licenses.

She also claimed the court’s decision in Obergefell v Hodges — which rooted marriage rights for LGBTQ couples in the 14th Amendment’s due process protections — was “legal fiction.”

Lower courts had dismissed Davis’ claims and most legal experts considered her bid a long shot.

Davis’ appeal to the Supreme Court comes as conservative opponents of marriage rights for same-sex couples pursue a renewed campaign to reverse legal precedent and allow each state to set its own policy.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Showgirl’ still dancing on top of the chart

November 10, 2025 by WDNY Radio

This Showgirl won’t leave the stage.

Taylor Swift‘s The Life of a Showgirl is spending a fifth week at #1 on the Billboard 200. It’s only the second album of 2025 to spend its first five weeks at #1, after Morgan Wallen‘s I’m the Problem, which was #1 for its first eight weeks. But Taylor has a good shot at matching that: Her last album, The Tortured Poets Department, spent its first 12 weeks at #1 last year.

Speaking of Wallen, I’m the Problem is #3, while the soundtrack to KPop Demon Hunters is steady at #2. Florence + the Machine, whose frontwoman Florence Welch appeared on The Tortured Poets Department, debuts at #4 with their album Everybody Scream.

Newly minted Grammy nominee Sabrina Carpenter is #6 with Man’s Best Friend, while her opening act Olivia Dean, also a Grammy nominee, is #7 with The Art of Loving.
