  “Janis Joplin walked into a San Francisco bar one night in 1967, unassuming, wearing her signature round glasses, wild curls framing her face. She had no grand entrance. No one recognized her yet.  Then, she stepped onto the stage, grabbed the microphone, and as soon as her voice sliced the air, the entire room fell silent. A raspy, soul-wrenching wail filled the space, cutting through the chatter and clinking glasses.  Raw, untamed, and electric. A moment later, people were on their feet, some crying, others frozen. Janis didn’t just sing. She bled into her songs. That night, she left the stage with a new reputation: the woman who could silence a room with her pain. Born in Port Arthur, Texas, she grew up feeling like an outcast. She loved the blues: Bessie Smith, Lead Belly, Ma Rainey, when most girls her age were listening to pop hits. In high school, she was bullied for her looks, called cruel names, and she struggled to fit in. By the time she was a teenager, she h...

  Texas comfort food doesn’t get more iconic than Chicken Fried Steak—a Lone Star legend that’s been sizzling in skillets since the 19th century! While its roots stretch back to German and Austrian immigrants in the Texas Hill Country, this crispy, gravy-smothered masterpiece became a true Texan creation by the early 1900s. Picture German settlers like the Volga Deutsch, who arrived in the 1840s with recipes for Wiener Schnitzel—breaded veal cutlets. In cattle-rich Texas, they swapped veal for cheap, tough beef cuts like round steak, tenderized it with a mallet, and fried it up like Southern fried chicken. Add a ladle of creamy pepper gravy, and a star was born. The dish took off in the ranching towns of Central and West Texas, where beef was plentiful and cooks needed hearty meals for hardworking cowboys. By the 1930s, it was a diner staple, especially along highways like Route 66, where truck stops and cafés—like the Blue Bonnet in Marble Falls—served it with mashed potatoes and ...

  It may come as a surprise to you as you struggle to just live through the day and suddenly realize that you have been walking with giants all along. As while I was doing those two years convalescing up in there in Screw-All Tennessee, trying to get enough courage to just jump off in the Cumberland River, I never thought that one day I’d be sitting here with one film on Amazon Prime, another in post production, a third on a storyboard waiting to launch, a new book out , and two music videos topping. God bless Texas! Click image for Kielia preview     In 2021 thirteen doctors crowded around me trying to figure out just what stage of dementia I was at. My family, and I use that term loosely, had put me in the Wellington Institute for non-intrusive dying and I was PROceeding with all possible dispatch. Then Pam sprung me, I’ll never know why.   I ended up driving a bobtail truck from Salt Lake City to Nashville with my son Wilbur giving me a little help toward the end...

  Johnny Ringo was a notorious figure of the American Old West, remembered for his involvement in the violent conflicts of the era, particularly the gunfights and feuds that took place in Tombstone, Arizona. Born in 1850 in Kentucky, Ringo was one of many individuals who sought a new life in the West, a place where lawlessness and the opportunity for fortune were often intertwined. While details of his early life remain somewhat unclear, it is believed that Ringo was originally a ranch hand who eventually became entangled in criminal activities. He was a part of the larger group of outlaws, lawmen, and figures that contributed to the legend of the American frontier. Ringo's involvement in the infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is one of the defining moments of his life. While he wasn't directly involved in the actual shootout, he was a key member of the Cowboys, a group of outlaws that were at odds with the lawmen of Tombstone, including the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday.

From Elkarameloo Elon Musk, the trailblazing visionary behind Tesla and SpaceX, doesn’t just dream of colonizing Mars—he’s built a family that seems destined to conquer the stars. With his partner, the enigmatic musician Grimes, Elon has welcomed children whose names alone—like X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl—spark curiosity and debate.
