'60s Rock Icon, 81, Makes Bold Admission About 'Funny' Relationship With Fellow Band Member
'60s rock icons The Who, featuring original members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, are hitting the road for a farewell tour. Daltrey, 81, and Townshend, 80, had a famously tense relationship through much of the band's historic tenure, but the two became closer following the death of bandmate John Entwistle in 2002. As the band sets off on its summer tour, a spry Daltrey is giving new insight into the legendary rockers' 'funny friendship.'In an interview with AP Entertainment, the ageless Daltrey said, 'Pete and I, it's a funny friendship. We don't mix socially at all. We only see each other to work. He likes boats — I hate boats. I've got my feet on the ground... I like my feet in the mud. He likes fashion — I don't give a (expletive). I hate new clothes, you know, so we're total opposites. But it works. I don't question it. There's a chemistry that happens with the way he writes his songs, and the way I join him. There's something special there, and we should treasure it — which indeed we are.'
On a post of the interview shared to social media, fans compared Daltrey and Townshend to Rolling Stones rockers Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, writing, 'Kind of like Mick and Keith,' while another added, 'Like brothers.'The Who are currently on tour through September 28, 2025.

Anne meets Ukrainian band at Edinburgh Military Tattoo rehearsal
Princess Anne has met performers for this year's Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, including members of a Ukrainian naval band playing for the first time since the full-scale war began. The Princess Royal wore sunglasses and the Tattoo's official tartan as she watched a rehearsal at Redford Barracks in the Scottish capital. She watched international teams perform their displays of military drill, music and dancing ahead of the show's run beginning at Edinburgh Castle later this week. As well as military bands from the UK's armed forces, this year's show will feature performers from the US, Poland and Switzerland. This year will see members of the Centre for Military Music of the Ukrainian Navy make their debut. The Odessa-based orchestra are engaged in rehabilitation projects as well as a number of cultural programmes. This year will also be the first time Adam Lane has stepped in as the Tattoo's creative director. A theatre director by trade, he is also a reservist with the Royal Engineers. The theme for this year – the 75th for the Tattoo – will be 'the heroes who made us' – with each night of the show's run celebrating a significant figure. Mr Lane told the PA news agency: 'The team here are fantastic, they've been making shows for decades, so I'm very confident they're a great team and they'll do a great job.' He added: 'International acts have always been an important component of the show and this year's no different. 'I'm absolutely delighted to welcome our brothers and sisters from Ukraine. 'Like all international acts, they've come to represent the best of their nation. 'We have some extraordinary Ukrainian military music and some Ukrainian cultural dancing as well so I think the audience are going to really enjoy that.'

Parents are embracing a much-needed 'Type C Summer'—here's how
In the chaos of modern parenting, a new kind of balance is emerging. Enter Summer 2025: the reign of the Type C parent—that magical blend of planner and free spirit, rising from the relatable TikToks of moms who've had enough pretending. Welcome to the Type C Summer, where letting go becomes part of the plan. From TikTok to Williamsburg: how Type C parenting hit its stride A viral TikTok by Taylor Vasquez—a mom of two—ruminated on the daily chaos of motherhood: forgetting your debit card, being overstimulated by the word 'mom,' bracing for toddler meltdown after toddler meltdown. Her video sparked thousands of comments: 'This. Is. Me.' The term 'Type C parent' (not scientific, but culturally spot-on) describes someone who strategizes for survival with structure when possible and flexibility when absolutely necessary. Type C parents might color-code calendars but also lose track of shoes. Related: Type C moms are taking over TikTok—and they're finally feeling seen Real confessions meet real pain: Skylight's campaign That chaotic hum of parenting just got louder and more visible thanks to Skylight's 'Parent Confessions' campaign. They collected 1,165 anonymous confessions to illuminate just how stretched-thin families are. According to Skylight's 2024 Mental Load Report: Parents average 30.4 hours per week on mental load—scheduling, logistics, emotional coordination—equivalent to a full-time job worth $60,000/year. Mental load takes up 63% of daily brain space. 79% of parents report anxiety about scheduling. And the confessions? Equal parts hilarious and heartbreakingly human: 'I too am scared of the spider in the bathroom.' —Dad, 32 'I hide the good ice cream in a broccoli bag in the freezer.' —Mom, 34 'I once bought all the things my daughter needed for camp but forgot to register her.' —Mom, 44 'If we don't have cash in the house for the tooth fairy, we use money from their piggy bank.' —Dad, 35 Each confession is anonymous but sourced directly from real parents across the U.S. as part of Skylight's digital confessional wall. Funny, raw, and weirdly comforting—they're a collective sigh of 'same here.' It's official: Summer 2025 is a Type C vibe Skylight's newest data shows that parents are relating to and proudly living the Type C label: 73% of parents say they've embraced Type C tactics this summer. 40% are rewriting household traditions on their own terms. 30% have declared a truce with Pinterest-perfect dinners. 25% are embracing screen time without shame. These aren't parenting failures. These are adaptive strategies—a quiet rebellion against impossible standards and an exhausted shrug toward reality. Why the Type C parent moment matters Type C parenting reflects a shift toward emotional honesty and flexibility. As experts like Dr. Caroline Fenkel explain, this attuned approach supports resilience, security, and authenticity in kids. It also speaks to a broader reality: the 'default parent'—often the mom—continues to carry a heavy mental load, one that can mirror a second unpaid job. For many, embracing the Type C mindset feels more like a reclaiming of balance and agency. TL;DR: You're not a mess—you're a Type C parent. Whether you're laughing through the chaos or just trying to survive until bedtime, you're part of a rising tribe redefining what 'good parenting' looks like. So eat the secret chocolate. Watch Cars for the third time while texting your mom group. If you're showing up with love—even in sweatpants and cereal-stained dignity—you're doing enough. And this summer? That's more than enough.

Beautiful Teaser Trailer for TRAIN DREAMS Starring Joel Edgerton — GeekTyrant
Netflix has released the first teaser for Train Dreams , a film that's already being hailed as one of the best movies of 2025. This sweeping drama premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival to glowing reviews. The response was so strong that Netflix is giving the movie a limited theatrical run. Adapted from Denis Johnson's acclaimed novella, the story follows Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker navigating a rapidly changing America in the early 20th century. The film stars Joel Edgerton as Robert alongside Felicity Jones, Nathaniel Arcand, Clifton Collins Jr., Kerry Condon, and William H. Macy, with narration by Will Patton and a score by Bryce Dessner. The teaser sets the tone beautifully, offering glimpses of what critics are calling a visual masterpiece. The film isn't just a historical drama, it's a human story about resilience, isolation, and the relentless march of progress. As I said in my review: 'Watching it felt like listening to the kinds of stories my grandpa used to tell me of what it was like to work in America in this same era, stories of resilience, of ordinary people witnessing extraordinary change.' I also said: 'It's an Americana story through and through, rich with the texture of a bygone era. The film carries the same kind of warmth and nostalgia I feel when watching Seabiscuit or October Sky . It's a comfort film, one that settles into your soul.' This connection to the past makes Train Dreams feel like a living memory, a film that transports you to another time. The movie was directed by Clint Bentley, the filmmaker behind Jockey and co-writer of Sing Sing . Train Dreams hits select theaters November 7 and streams on Netflix starting November 21.
