Eddie Van Halen Broke a Band Rule to Play on ‘Beat It’
Eddie Van Halen famously provided the guitar solo on Michael Jackson’s 1982 hit song “Beat It,” but the Van Halen legend had to break a band rule to do it. Jackson enlisted a cavalcade of top-tier musicians for his Thriller album. Among them were Toto members Steve Lukather, David Paich, Jeff Porcaro. Lukather handled a lot of the LP’s guitar parts, but producer Quincy Jones wanted someone else for the fiery “Beat It” solo.
Top 20 Hard Rock and Metal Albums of 1983
Rock music underwent a radical transformation in the beginning of the '80s, and in 1983, the genre made some of its heaviest strides yet. It was a year that saw heavy metal assert itself as a viable commercial genre, with Quiet Riot's Metal Health unseating the Police's Synchronicity to become the first metal album to top the Billboard 200. It was far from the only glam-metal record to make waves that year, as Def Leppard's Pyromania and Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil also sold millions of copies apiece and established their respective artists as stars.

As More People Move to Twin Falls, Which Race is on the Rise?
Twin Falls is growing, and it has caused mixed feelings in the area. Some love seeing it grow as it brings in new businesses, helps the economy, and is helping the town expand. Others hate it, as it brings more traffic, more buildings, and changes the beloved town they once knew. No matter how you feel, more and more people will continue to flock to Twin Falls and the Magic Valley, and it will continue to grow and expand in the following years. One part that many are afraid to discuss is that as the population grows, so does the diversity of the area. The more people in the area, the more cultures brought in, the different races brought in, and it shifts the percentage of how many are in the area. Which races are on the rise the most and which have decreased recently in the Magic Valley?

5 Weird Things About Kiss’ Final Concert
Kiss tried some new and unusual things Saturday night at their last-ever live concert. Having never breathed fire, spit blood or flown across a basketball stadium filled with fans screaming our name, it's not our place to say anything the group did was right or wrong. Obviously Kiss had every right to end their touring career anyway they saw fit. But is it fair to note that some of it was kind of weird?
Is It Illegal to Smoke with Kids in the Car in Idaho?
Strolling down memory lane the other day, I couldn't help but notice every photo in my album from 1992 featured a smoker mid-drag. Practically every aunt, uncle, and family friend caught on camera was puffing away, living their best nicotine-loving lives. Filled with the haze of cigarette smoke, Mom's kitchen looked more like a smoker's lounge on a Friday night than it did a gathering place for family parties.
Idaho’s Favorite Christmas Song Proves We Have Good Taste
Our taste in music is improving. Recent research shows Idaho’s favorite Christmas song this year is White Christmas. I assume the original because Bing Crosby could hold a note and bring out the emotions of the season. Otherwise, I envision Elvis Presley dancing on a table and thrusting his hips. Or Dean Martin is slurring his words. All three are long dead, which shows you the staying power of the old Christmas classics.
If You Hit a Deer In Idaho Can You Legally Take Home the Antlers?

A vehicle collision with a deer is a dangerous way to get antlers for your projects, but should it happen to you…are you legally allowed to take them home with you?

Report: How Long Will You Live in Idaho?
For years and years, the average life expectancy in America has increased. Politicians remind us that when Social Security was created, most Americans didn't live long enough to collect their contributions. That may be why the benefit has lasted so long for so many years.
