Slipknot Legendary Iowa nu-metal crew Slipknot made its first visit to the metro in five years on Saturday night. The band delivered to the thousands of Maggots in attendance at least two songs from each of its six studio albums. The Providence Medical Center Amphitheater stage had been transformed into a sprawling, spooky warehouse featuring industrial fans, pyrotechnics, catwalks, a…

Stacy Yeager (right) is the new vice president. // Photo: Stacy Yeager, Facebook Right around 6 p.m. on Friday, the Kansas City Kansas Public Schools slipped an item onto its website. You had to look pretty hard to find it, past the stories about the…
Dear Dan: I’m an otherwise healthy male of 54. When I was a teen, my cock measured about six-and-a-half inches. Not small, not huge, pretty average. I never kept track of the situation down south, but suddenly I find my junk reports in just over four inches. WTF? Is this normal? Do men lose size/girth as they age? I’m only…
Jay Ashcroft // Missouri Secretary of State Office A St. Louis attorney who filed a slate of voter reform petitions in Missouri is suing Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, alleging that Ashcroft “intentionally cherry-picked portions of the initiative petitions and described them in as loaded and pejorative terms as possible, while leaving out aspects of the initiative petitions likely to…
Mark Patton Since 1985, Kansas City native Mark Patton has been hunted by Freddy Krueger. Initially, Patton’s role as Jesse Walsh in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge seemed like something to covet. After all, Johnny Depp made his debut in Freddy’s first round of killings. And up to that point, Patton was a busy presence in commercials…

Alice Sweet Alice, “Behind the Glass” Liza Jean, the singer of Kansas City alt-rock band Alice Sweet Alice, reached out to share this video for the band’s first single from…
Joe Vaughn You know who Ben Folds is. You’ve wondered why the band was called Ben Folds Five when there were only three guys, probably cried a little listening to “Brick,” maybe sailed a paper airplane with a song request to the stage at one of his many sold-out shows. But you likely don’t know Ben Folds. His new book,…
Jonathan Meador has been at his job as a medical lab scientist at Truman Medical Center for a little over a year now. In that time, he’d never been summoned to a meeting with upper management. That is, until Meador started talking to fellow lab and tech workers at the hospital about unionizing and asking about their interest in signing…

Paulette (as Dr. Rank) and Clemens (as Nora) // Photo by Mike Tsai Every now and then, the endless barrage of ghoulish gender commentary wears me down and a self-conscious thought invades like a virus: Could the trolls be right? Have The Feminists gone too far? I was struck by a different thought as I sat in a dark theater…
Gasbarre III and Delano // J. Robert Schraeder Musical Theater Heritage planned well, staging Lin-Manuel Miranda’s award-winning In the Heights not long after the touring production of the playwright’s Hamilton made a stop in Kansas City. What MTH Theater couldn’t have foreseen is the increasing anti-immigrant sentiment that may have precipitated the mass shooting in El Paso a week before…
brucehornsby.com The Grateful Dead, 2Pac, Mase, Bon Iver, Spike Lee: Who but Bruce Hornsby can say they’ve aligned themselves with such a wide array of massive musical figures over the years? “My audience has been diverse since I started playing with the Dead in 1990,” Hornsby says by email. “Dreadlocked dancing denizens grappled for years for stockbrokers and their wives….
Dear Dan: I’m a 42-year-old single, straight female who recently started dating a 36-year-old man in a somewhat exclusive, long-distance relationship. We have known each other for a short time, but have clocked hours upon hours on the phone. I have specifically stated many times I don’t want kids of my own (he does), am extremely safety conscious (only when…
Via mutigers.com The era of sneaking booze into Mizzou football games—or of not going at all because you can’t drink—is coming to a close. Earlier this year, the SEC voted to allow campuses the authority to decide whether to sell beer and wine at athletic events. Mizzou announced today it will test the waters this year at home football games….
Liz Cook Everything is a restaurant now and none of us are safe. I felt fine when it was just Ikea—the Swedish meatballs and toddler-sized cups of vanilla ice cream felt like a prize for reaching the end of the particle-board maze. Then gas stations started adding full kitchens and filling growlers with 600 IBU IPAs. Then the grocery…
One More Cup // Facebook Missed this announcement earlier in the week: The Waldo coffeeshop One More Cup will close at the end of this month. “We have decided that it is time to explore other directions in our lives, and do what is best for our family,” owners Stacy and Jeremy posted on social media Tuesday. “We invite you…
Courtesy Will Averill Over the last five years, Massholes, the occasional comedic quiz show from Lawrence’s Card Table Productions, has provided reliable laughs by lampooning some of the absurdities of Lawrence’s townie culture. The panel show pits two teams of local comedians against each other in a competition for “Mayor of Lawrence.” It’s about, host Will Averill says, “what Lawrence…
Michelle Varela I raised an eyebrow when singer-songwriter Ryan Martin released his album Gimme Some Light last year. High Moon Records, the New York label that put it out, is perhaps best known for reissuing long-lost ’60s and ’70s recordings from the likes of Love and Gene Clark. The only other album of new recordings on High Moon comes from…
The change some Wyandotte County residents are hoping for may not come this election season. In last night’s primary, voters advanced all of the incumbents running for reelection to the Unified Government’s Board of Commissioners. For the 1st District At-Large seat, incumbent Melissa Bynum and Mark Gilstrap will be on the general election ballot. Bynum, who captured a comfortable 58…
By April Fleming Sura Eats The Kansas City area, it must be acknowledged, is not a destination for Korean food. We know this. But things change. And lately the local options for sampling one of the world’s great cuisines have improved a bit — maybe even a lot. Slowly but steadily, there are more Korean restaurants in the metro, and…
By April Flemming Cold, crunchy, melty, chocolatey — few cold treats evoke childhood the way a soft-serve dipped cone does. Eating them as an adult, the nostalgia persists, but it’s often diminished by inconvenient facts, like how the chocolate shell of most dipped cones leaves a waxy film in your mouth, or that soft-serve ice cream really doesn’t have all…
Parson and the GOP are fiddling while Missourians get tossed off the Medicaid rolls by the thousands each month. Last week, Missouri Governor Mike Parson said in an interview that he’s been hesitant to look for ways to expand Medicaid in Missouri because he thinks the state needs to fix its broken system first. For a Republican, Parson seems to have…
