Preston Cooper’s “One for the Road” (Blue Highway Records)
You may have heard Preston Cooper’s “One for the Road” while you were watching sports, and soon, you’ll likely be hearing it on the radio.
“I’m so excited to send ‘One For The Road’ to radio,” Preston says. “It’s one that people have been requesting so we’re giving it to them just in time to turn it up with the windows down.”
“When I wrote this song it reminded me of what I grew up listening to,” he continues. “It stays true to who I am musically and I’m so excited to show the world what I have to offer.”
A part of the soundtrack for ESPN’s College GameDay, “One for the Road” has also been used on Fox Sports’ coverage of NASCAR and Ohio State football.
Preston is from the Buckeye State. Both “One for the Road” and his top-30 hit “Weak” are from his debut album, Toledo Talkin’.

Puscifer has premiered the video for “A Public Stoning,” a track off the Maynard James Keenan-led band’s new album, Normal Isn’t.
The clip, streaming now on YouTube, animates the panels from latest issue of Puscifer’s Tales from the Pusciverse comic book series, which is about a mysterious briefcase.
“The Briefcase has been part of the Puscifer mythology for years,” Keenan says in a statement. “Everyone wonders what exactly is inside. This issue doesn’t necessarily answer the question… but it moves the story forward.”
Normal Isn’t, the fifth Puscifer album and the follow-up to 2020’s Existential Reckoning, dropped in February. Puscifer is currently on a U.S. tour in support of the record into mid-May.

The U.S. Army is looking into why two helicopters flew by Kid Rock’s Nashville residence on Saturday.
Rock posted a video on Instagram showing one of the aircrafts hovering above his pool. The “Bawitdaba” artist is seen clapping and saluting the helicopter before it flies away.
“God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her,” Rock wrote in the caption.
According to a U.S. official, the choppers are AH-64 Apache helicopters part of the 101st Airborne Division, based out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
“The Army is aware of a video circulating online that appears to show AH‑64 Apache helicopters operating in the vicinity of a private residence in the Nashville area,” reads a statement from an Army spokesperson. “Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations. An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements.”
“Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found,” the statement continues. “Until the review is complete, there will be no further comment.”

(MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn.) — The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a crash involving a school bus in Tennessee that killed two middle school students.
The NTSB said it has “initiated a safety investigation in coordination with the Tennessee Highway Patrol” into Friday’s deadly crash in Carroll County.
“The NTSB investigation will examine school bus driver performance, student passenger occupant protection, and the oversight of school transportation operations,” the agency said in a statement on Monday.
The investigation can take one to two years to complete, with a preliminary report possible in about 30 days, the NTSB said.
The crash involved a school bus from Montgomery County, a Tennessee Department of Transportation dump truck and a Chevrolet Trailblazer, authorities said. Dash cam video showed the bus initially colliding with the dump truck.
“The details of the crash are still ongoing,” Tennessee Highway Patrol Maj. Travis Plotzer said at a press briefing on Friday, adding that it doesn’t appear the dump truck “had any contributing factors to the crash.”
Two students on the school bus were pronounced dead at the scene, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said. Authorities have not released any additional details on them.
Several others were injured in the crash, with multiple victims airlifted to trauma centers in Memphis and Nashville, authorities said.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System said a group of eighth grade students and educators from Kenwood Middle School were on the bus headed to Jackson, Tennessee, for a weekend competition when the crash occurred.
“In a moment, their lives and their families’ lives were upended,” Clarksville-Montgomery County School System Director Jean Luna-Vedder said in a message to the school community over the weekend. “As a mother and a lifelong educator, I cannot begin to imagine the fear and pain they continue to endure. I ask that everyone pray and wrap their arms around these students, employees, their families, and the entire Kenwood community.”

(AFFTON, Mo.) — A 5-year-old girl is missing after she was left unattended in a running vehicle that was then stolen, authorities in Missouri said Monday.
An Amber Alert has been issued for Aleise Dawson, who was taken around 8 a.m. local time in Affton, Missouri, according to the St. Louis County Police Department.
“The vehicle has been recovered, but the child has not,” the St. Louis County Police Department said.
The child started living with a guardian, who is believed to be a relative, within the past few weeks, according to St. Louis County Police Department spokesperson Vera Clay.
The guardian had placed the child in the car, gone inside a residence to get something and “came back out and the car was gone,” Clay said during a press briefing on Monday.
Officers responded to search for Aleise, and the vehicle was located several blocks away, according to Clay.
It is unclear if the person who took the vehicle is known to the child and guardian, or if this was “completely random,” Clay said. Police are treating it as an abduction, she said.
“There’s a 5-year-old out there and no one knows where she is. So we are going to utilize every resource that we have available to our department,” including helicopter air support, Clay said.
The police department said it does not have a photograph of the child, whom they described as a Black girl standing 2 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 60 pounds. She has four ponytails and was last seen wearing a pink T-shirt with the words “Flower Power” on it and blue shorts, police said.
Anyone with information is urged to call 636-529-8210 or 911.
(COMAL COUNTY, Texas) — A 15-year-old boy allegedly shot a teacher at his Texas high school on Monday morning, authorities said.
The suspect died at the scene at Hill Country College Preparatory High School in Comal County, about 30 miles north of San Antonio, the Comal County Sheriff’s Office said.
A teacher, a female, was taken to a San Antonio hospital in unknown condition, the sheriff’s office said.
The school was placed on lockdown and students were evacuated to be reunited with their parents, authorities said.
“There is no ongoing threat to students,” the sheriff’s department said.

Don’t go chasing rumors about Chilli, as she is stepping in to set the record straight. Following allegations that she donated to Trump-related organizations and shared a conspiracy video about Michelle Obama, Chilli took to social media to address the matter.
“I have the utmost respect and admiration for Michelle Obama and I would never say or do anything that is disrespectful to her or any woman,” Chilli said of the right-wing conspiracy video that alleged Obama wasn’t a biological woman. Chilli claimed she only learned the post went up after receiving several phone calls.
“I’m not very computer savvy, so I’m looking for this repost button, and I see that all of these buttons are very, very close to each other, and clearly I was scrolling, and my thumb hit the repost button,” she explained.
Of the allegations that she made donations to organizations that align with Trump in 2024, Chilli said, “These are the things that support the veterans. I’ve always supported them, not just now, for years. This is not something new.”
She then clarified that she isn’t a Trump supporter. “This isn’t MAGA, I WANT TO BE CLEAR: I am not MAGA and do not support any of the many policies that are causing great harm to the American people,” she wrote. “I made a mistake too many make: I did not read the fine print.”
She continued, “I have learned a valuable lesson and ask for grace as I navigate this.”
Federal Election Commission records show that Chilli, born Rozonda Thomas, donated to the Trump National Committee JFC, INC.; WinRed, which raises funds for the Republican Party; and the Trump-associated Never Surrender, Inc., in 2024.
She is set to hit the road with her group TLC, En Vogue and Salt-N-Pepa in August.

Lady Gaga hit the big 4-0 on Saturday, but instead of a big blowout, she spent her special day chilling with her fiancé, Michael Polansky.
Gaga posted a TikTok video of herself holding up a paper “40” decoration and kissing into the camera, while the song “Shy Girl” by the synth-pop duo Haute & Freddy played. “Haute & Freddy, Robyn, and Raye filled my birthday with their beautiful new albums,” Gaga wrote in the caption.
She was referring to the fact that the day before her birthday, all three of those acts released new projects. “Dancing on My Own” singer Robyn released Sexistential, while RAYE dropped This Music May Contain Hope.
Gaga continued, “Had the best time listening and relaxing with Michael as we wind down The Mayhem Ball. Thank you, Michael for making my birthday so so special, I love you. May the birthday month begin.”
“Thank you monsters for all your beyond kind messages,” she ended the caption. “Growing up w you is something I will always cherish.”
Gaga is set to wrap up The Mayhem Ball, which started last July, with an April 13 show at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Led Zeppelin’s ‘Physical Graffiti’ (Atlantic Records)
Led Zeppelin celebrated the 50th anniversary of their iconic album Physical Graffiti in 2025, and now guitarist Jimmy Page is giving fans some insight into how one of the songs on the album came to be.
The rocker just released an early home demo of an instrumental piece that would eventually become the track “Ten Years Gone.”
“As a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as Ten Years Gone,” Page wrote on Instagram. “I presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song Ten Years Gone.”
Physical Graffiti, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band’s sixth studio album, was released on Feb. 24, 1975. It was a double album and the band’s first to be released under their own label, Swan Song Records.
The album was a critical and commercial hit for the band. It spent six weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and also hit #1 in the U.K. and Canada. It was the first album to go Platinum from preorders alone and has since been certified 16-times Platinum in the U.S.
