Iconic Metal Singer, 60, Scolds Concert Goers in Frustrated Display
One of the most prominent members of the shock-rock genre has been Rob Zombie. The singer came to prominence with the band White Zombie, before splitting off to pursue a solo career. His first solo album debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200.
Zombie went on to release more successful music, and venture into filmmaking, directing House of 1,000 Corpses, and the two Halloween remakes. He has made himself a place in the horror genre, whether that's music or film. Zombie has always branded himself with his distinct voice, which has now been used in some other ways.
At a recent headlining appearance at the Boardwalk Rock festival, Zombie got pretty frustrated with his crowd. Watch this.
Zombie's frustration around the phones is made pretty clear in the video. His comments sparked a lot of discourse over the issue, with fans taking sides.
"I agree, put the phones away and enjoy the moment," one fan commented, while another took the opposite stance, remarking, "Ok, roll those ticket prices back too since we're being all nostalgic."The arguments on either side continued, one fan in favor saying, "Agreed. You can find the performance on YouTube in every which way. Take 1-2 pics. A quick video if you must and just enjoy the show." Another fan showed their displeasure with Zombie's comments, arguing, "Concerts are too expensive. Let the people do what they want. Just play the damn song."
People seem to have really strong opinions on either side of this issue. Regardless, Rob Zombie is still selling tickets, and giving it his all on stage.

The Case For — And Against — Digital Detox
Is a minimalist phone for you? Mudita There have been quite a few YouTube videos posted lately about the slew of minimal phones hitting the market. Essentially aiming to be distraction-free communication devices in the most basic sense, these generally have black-and-white matte e-ink screens, good battery life, the ability to call and text, and a couple of standard apps. There's no app store. No internet access. No frills. If you just want a basic way to keep in touch with people, and don't need anything else on your device, these might be for you. They remind me of the old flip phones but in smartphone form. I finally got a review unit of one new such unit, the Mudita Kompakt. The box describes it in this way: 'A minimalist touchscreen phone…designed to bring you balance, privacy, and focus.' Think digital detox. By reducing digital overwhelm, the device helps you achieve better work-life integration, letting you be more productive in your professional and personal lives without distractions, such as constant notifications pulling you away. It also comes in handy when you want to use less tech while traveling or for parents looking for ways to reduce the stress their children/teens face regarding social media. The manufacturer's based in Warsaw, Poland but the version I received is made for North America, and officials told me it works with any major carrier in the U.S. It features a 4.3-inch black-and-white e-ink display, quad core processor, its own basic operating system, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, 8 MP camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, SIM and microSD card slots, and an eSIM. Apps include an alarm, calculator, calendar, camera, chess, e-reader, maps, meditation, music, notes, recorder, weather, phone and SMS. You cannot add any, being there's no app store or internet access. It's not the fastest machine, but it is responsive. Although it may be made for North America, it doesn't come with your best interests out of the gate. Go to the weather app, and it defaults to Warsaw. It took some figuring out, but I was able to add my hometown and make it the default. By the way, in the process I discovered that Warsaw has similar weather to Southern California this time of year. Everything also defaults to Celsius and metric measurements. But you can change those to be more America-friendly. Go to the map app, and it lets you locate yourself and anywhere else on the map – provided you first download the map of your area. But it won't provide directions. The maps are surprisingly detailed, but a little tough to see because they're not in color. Because the screen is smaller than I'm used to, the keyboard is a bit tight. Probably too tight to make detailed notes. One thing I found interesting is that when you take photos, they appear in black and white. But you can see them in color if you transfer them to a color-screened Windows computer or phone. Not gonna lie: I cannot see myself using this style of phone. However, I could see giving it to my elderly father-in-law who tries way too hard to use an iPhone but inevitably asks us how to do the most basic functions. Like even how to turn up the volume on phone calls. Using the Kompakt might take away most of the stress the iPhone causes him. It might also be a solution for young kids whose parents want them to have a phone for emergencies but don't want them to be online. It sells for $439, which I think is pricey – especially considering that for the same price or less, you can get a full-featured Android phone that you can put in 'do not disturb' mode whenever you want. Or just buy a flip phone.

Evan Agostini/Invision/AP 'I remember three days before I met C, I remember being at church with Pastor Judah [Smith] and I was talking to him and he said something in a sermon. He said non-negotiables … I said, 'I'm going to write my five non-negotiables down,'' Wilson said. 'The first one was, I want a woman of great faith. She's got just great faith. She's a believer. That was important to me because believing in Jesus, all that meant a lot to me. That's No. 1 thing. 'No. 2 was I want a woman who was faithful, not just to me but to everything that she does to anything and everything that she does,' Wilson continued. 'The third thing is I want a woman that was going to love me the way my mom loved my dad. Just how my mom, my dad was on his deathbed. Just like she was willing to do anything and everything for us and for him. I think that you want a woman that's got grit and that's going to be there when it's thick, when it's tough, when it's hard and things aren't going well, whatever it may be in life when my dad has leg amputated or whatever it may be. 7 Wilson and Ciara at Game 2 of Knicks-Pacers. Jason Szenes / New York Post 'I think the other thing was I wanted a woman who was independent, didn't have to be Ciara but had the right identity, wanted to volunteer, wanted to be a doctor, wanted to be whatever it is, but at the end of the day had their own identity. Didn't want to just be Russell's wife, but just had their own identity of what they wanted to be and create and do in life. 'I think the last thing was I wanted a woman who would tilt the room when they walked in the room, all the furniture slides her way. You know what I mean? Everything slides her way. I just remembered that I wrote that down. We prayed over it and three days later I met C.' 7 Ciara on the red carpet at the American Music Awards at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on May 26, 2025.
