Kansas’ iconic hit “Carry On Wayward Son” was featured on Saturday Night Live this weekend, and the band has reacted to the sketch.
In the segment, “Husbands,” a group of female friends are hanging out in a kitchen when they note it’s the first time all their husbands are joining them for the get together. As they wonder if the husbands are okay hanging out without them, the camera cuts to all the men in the den struggling to start a conversation.
Things eventually change when host Jack Black begins singing “Carry On Wayward Son,” and the men chime in and sing along. The husbands, which include Kenan Thompson, Andrew Dismukes, Tommy Brennan and James Austin Johnson, get so into it that in the end, they rip off their clothes to reveal they’re wearing rock and roll jumpsuits underneath.
Well, it seems the real Kansas was a bit jealous of their looks. The group shared the video on Facebook, commenting, “Where do we get those jumpsuits Jack Black and Kenan Thompson?”
“Carry On Wayward Son” appeared on Kansas’ 1976 album, Leftoverture, and peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. It went on to become a signature tune for the band.
Kansas is set to play Cleveland on Thursday. A complete list of shows can be found at KansasBand.com.

Journey’s Neal Schon has addressed fans following a recent Rolling Stone article that looked into the behind-the-scenes drama of their current Final Frontier farewell tour.
The article featured interviews with Schon, Jonathan Cain and singer Arnel Pineda, who revealed he originally didn’t want to do the tour. Pineda said efforts to reach out to the band regarding his feelings were met with silence, so he felt he had no choice but to go on the road. When asked about it, Schon called Pineda’s feelings “very confusing” and noted they had all signed contracts for the tour.
Schon has since shared a post on social media, arguing that the article didn’t “reflect the full picture” of what was happening ahead of the tour; he also denied pressuring anyone into touring.
“Over the years, Journey has always been about the music and the fans first,” Schon wrote. “There’s been some recent press and speculation that doesn’t reflect the full picture. Touring at this level involves many moving parts, and decisions are made collectively with our team, including management, agents, and promoters.”
“Like any long-running band, there are moments where people feel the pressure differently,” he continued. “I respect that, and I have nothing but appreciation for what everyone brings to the stage.”
“For clarity, no one was ever prevented by me from making their own personal decisions,” he wrote. “At the same time, we were all advised by our representatives that there are contractual obligations tied to touring that need to be honored.”
Finally, Schon noted, “My focus has always been — and remains — delivering the best possible experience for our fans and keeping the music alive.”
Journey’s Final Frontier farewell tour hits Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Monday. A complete list of dates can be found at JourneyMusic.com.
Justin Moore now wears the crown as the artist with the longest trip to #1, as “Time’s Ticking” rather ironically takes its place atop the Billboard Country Airplay ranking.
Justin’s 11th #1 took 67 weeks to make it to the pinnacle, unseating Michael Ray’s “Whiskey and Rain” and Travis Denning’s “After a Few,” which both had a 65-week run to the top. Scotty McCreery’s “In Between” logged 63 weeks, while Dylan Scott took 62 weeks with “Can’t Have Mine” and Chayce Beckham made it in 60 weeks with “23”.
“Time’s Ticking” is Justin’s first Billboard #1 since “With a Woman You Love” in Sept. 2022. He’s typically topped the chart every 20 months since he made his debut in Aug. 2008 with “Back That Thing Up.”
“Time’s Ticking” is also the first #1 for the newly-named Blue Highway Records, formerly known as Big Machine.
Noah Kahan’s new Netflix documentary, Out of Body, offers a revealing look into his personal life, and he discusses some of those revelations in the new episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty.
While detailing his mental health struggles, including body dysmorphia and OCD, Noah admits that he initially didn’t want to get help because he was afraid it would affect his ability to write songs.
“These problems were really hard for me and were disrupting my ability to wake up in the morning and to just be a human being. But I was holding off on getting the help that I really needed for a long time because I was so afraid of it dulling my creativity,” Noah says.
In addition, he continues, “I was like, ‘I don’t want to get help because I’m worried that I’ll be happy and I won’t care about making something. And I won’t feel pain and it won’t be painful enough for my audience and … the feelings won’t be real enough for my audience.'”
Finally, Noah did get help after realizing, “I don’t want to live like this anymore.”
As a result, Noah says his sadness became “more manageable,” and he was no longer “getting sidebarred by rabbit holes of obsession and rabbit holes of anxiety anymore.”
“It really was a turning point for me making this record,” he says. The Great Divide is due April 24.
In a more lighthearted part of the pod, Noah reveals the weirdest place he ever wrote a song was in the bathroom at JFK airport and names Niall Horan as the musician he’d choose to help him bury a body. He also says he’ll die on the hill that macaroni & cheese isn’t very good and adds his favorite compliment to receive is, “I love your shoes.”

(WASHINGTON) — The Supreme Court on Monday vacated contempt-of-Congress charges against ex-Trump advisor Steve Bannon, who had refused to honor a subpoena from the committee investigating the Jan. 6 , 2021, attack, and later served a four-month sentence.
The Court did not explain its decision. There were no noted dissents.
In a brief order, the Court noted that the Trump Justice Department has moved to drop the indictment against Bannon and returned the case to a lower court for dismissal.

Maynard James Keenan has shared a message in support of Gen. Randy George, who Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced is retiring as the Army Chief of Staff three years into his four-year term.
As for how Keenan is connected to George, the Tool frontman shares in an Instagram post that he attended West Point Prep with him, and they were even on the same cross country team.
Keenan writes that while he “excelled” as a West Point Prep student, he was more interested in pursuing his creative passions than a career in the military.
“So when my heart spoke louder than the outside influencers and I declined my appointment to West Point, most of those around me saw it as a huge mistake,” Keenan recalls. “But a handful were very supportive. They knew me well enough to respect that decision. One of those supportive classmates was my Cross Country teammate, Randy George.”
“I can’t even imagine how disappointed and upset he must feel for having been ‘asked’ to retire early,” Keenan writes of George. “So I’m just here to return that favor of support. We’re here for you, Randy. Might be time for a beer or three. See you soon.”

(LONDON) — Ukraine launched more cross-border attack drones than Russia in a one-month period for the first time since the start of the ongoing war in 2022, according to daily data published by the Ukrainian Air Force and Russian Ministry of Defense, which was analyzed by ABC News.
Russia’s defense ministry reported downing 7,347 Ukrainian drones during March, the highest monthly total ever reported by Moscow and an average of 237 craft each day. The defense ministry only publishes figures of Ukrainian drones it claims were shot down.
Ukraine’s air force, meanwhile, said its forces faced 6,462 Russian drones and 138 missiles of various types across the course of the month, of which 5,833 drones and 102 missiles — around 90% of drones and just under 74% of missiles — were intercepted or suppressed.
Ukraine, therefore, faced a daily average of just over 208 drones and four missiles during March, according to the data published by Kyiv.
ABC News cannot independently verify the data released by either Russia or Ukraine. It is possible that both sides may seek to exaggerate the effectiveness of their air defenses, or to amplify the attacks against them as proof that their enemies are not interested in pursuing a peace deal, experts have suggested.
The combined tally of 6,600 Russian drones and missiles reported by Ukraine’s air force across the month marks a new record high for a single month of Russian long-range attacks.
Ukraine’s air force publishes what it says is a daily tally of Russian drone and missile strikes, including information as to how many munitions were intercepted and how many hit targets.
Russia launched the month’s largest overall attack in a 24-hour period by either side. Ukraine’s air force said Moscow launched 948 drones and 34 missiles into the country on March 24.
Long-range drone and missile strikes have been a key element of the conflict as both Kyiv and Moscow seek to degrade the other’s economy and undermine their ability to prosecute and fund the ongoing war. The strikes have continued despite the resumptions of U.S.-brokered peace talks.
Russia has thus far been able to launch more drones and missiles into Ukraine, with Ukrainian leaders citing Moscow’s nightly barrages as a severe threat to the country’s strategic position. But March’s data suggests the balance may be shifting more in Ukraine’s favor, as Kyiv’s long-term efforts to expand its drone and missile capabilities bear fruit.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been clear on Kyiv’s plans to expand Ukraine’s long-range strike capabilities.
“Our production potential for drones and missiles alone will reach $35 billion next year,” Zelenskyy said in October. “Despite all the difficulties, Ukrainians are creating their national defense product that, in certain parameters, already surpasses many others in the world.”
“Never before in history has Ukrainian defense been so long-range and so felt by Russia,” Zelenskyy added. “We must make the cost of war absolutely unacceptable for the aggressor — and we will.”
To date, the majority of Ukrainian strikes are believed to have been conducted using relatively cheap, Ukrainian-made drones. Increasingly, Ukraine is also using interceptor drones designed and built by Ukrainian companies to intercept incoming Russian strike drones.
Ukraine is now producing its own cruise missiles — most notably the Flamingo, which Kyiv says has a range of more than 1,800 miles — but its drone arsenal still accounts for the vast majority of projectiles reported shot down by the Russian defense ministry, according to daily data published by Moscow.
Over the past year, Ukraine has put a special focus on attacking Russian oil refining and transport facilities, hoping — according to Ukrainian leaders — to cut into a key funding stream for Moscow and its military.
Ukraine’s most high-profile attacks of March came at Russia’s Baltic Sea ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk — key oil export hubs. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denounced the strikes as “terrorist attacks.”
Zelenskyy in February said Russia’s energy sector is “a legitimate target” for attacks by Ukraine, because Russia uses revenue from sales of oil to procure weapons used to attack Ukraine.
“We do not have to choose whether we strike a military target or energy,” Zelenskyy said while addressing students at the National Aviation University in Kyiv. “He sells oil, takes the money, invests it in weapons. And with those weapons, he kills Ukrainians,” Zelenskyy said of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russian officials have broadly sought to downplay the Ukrainian attacks, with most reports of damage or casualties attributed to falling debris from intercepted drones, rather than craft that found their mark. When Russian officials do acknowledge damage, they often describe the strikes as “terrorist attacks.”
But plenty of publicly available information — including video footage and photographs of the attacks — indicate that a significant number of Ukrainian drones do penetrate Russian air defenses and impact at sensitive military and industrial sites.
Meanwhile, drone incursions into neighboring countries — among them NATO allies — have raised concerns of the war spilling over into non-combatant nations.
NATO aircraft are regularly scrambled in NATO nations like Poland and Romania in response to Russian drone attacks along Ukraine’s western borders.
Allied officials have reported Russian drone violations in Romania, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. Russian drones have also overflown Moldova, which is not a NATO member. Russian officials have denied responsibility for such incursions.
Stray Ukrainian drones have been reported falling in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
