25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Massapequa, Long Island

It is hard to think of another community on Long Island that has produced quite the combination of famous people that Massapequa has. Four brothers from one family became Hollywood actors. Three young musicians who grew up in the area took rockabilly to the top of the record charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Three brothers from another family played in the National Football League. And then, of course, there is Jerry Seinfeld.

A New York woman hid a $3,800 Georgia O’Keeffe in her closet for 40 years and only told her niece before she died, and now it could sell for millions

A Georgia O’Keeffe painting that spent roughly 40 years in a New York City closet is heading to auction at Christie’s, according to BroBible . The work is titled Near Abiquiu, New Mexico I , dates to 1930, and measures about 10 by 24 inches.

Cameron Winter and the Brooklyn rockers stretch the songs of “Getting Killed” into a volatile mix of restless grooves, surreal asides, and singalong catharsis. The flight path of Geese leads to disorienting extremes. Consider the young Brooklyn rockers’ mainstream baptism on Saturday Night Live early this year, when the winsome warble of “Au Pays du Cocaine” gave way to the bomb-scare detonation of “Trinidad,” sparking an online flame of love-and-hate reactions.
