Who else spent the holiday weekend watching “Get Back”? I don’t want to spoil anything for those of who haven’t finished the 7+ hours of Beatlemania just yet, but I will say it’s the closest thing to time travel I’ll ever get to experience.

Looking ahead to next year, Smokin’ Grooves is coming back. It’s getting a new location, but the lineup is pure fire. Also ahead in 2022? The Foo Fighters and Iron Maiden are coming back through Southern California. Read on.
