Keep The Fire.
When Flossie Dickey turned 110 years old last week, her local morning news program in Spokane thought it a big enough deal to have her on the show. But was ol' Flossie excited about it? To hear her tell it, not one bit.
When you're 110-year-old Flossie Dickey, it turns out, your favorite activity is naps. Your secret to longevity? As many naps as you can get. And drinking your whiskey straight up.
You are not Flossie Dickey, though, nor are you 110. So you should probably fight the urge to stay in and doze off tonight, and make the most of it while you're still young enough to enjoy it. Or, in the immortal words of Flossie: “Don't fight it. Live it.” — Cory Graves
AC/DC at American Airlines Center
This may be the last tour for AC/DC judging by the name of the tour, Rock or Bust. Or maybe that's just the name of the band's latest album.

This tour, guitarist Malcolm Young will be replaced by his and Angus' nephew, Stevie Young. And Drummer Phil Rudd will be replaced by Chris Slade who has worked with Tom Jones, Asia and Gary Numan, to name a few. For those about to rock, be prepared because this might be the last time to salute these rock legends. — Roberto Aguilar
