1974 Elvis Moment That Left Led Zeppelin “Stunned”

Image
‘He’s the Only One Who Could Do It.’” — Robert Plant Reveals the 1974 Elvis Moment That Left Led Zeppelin “Stunned” When Presley Sang Their Own Music. Tháng 12 22, 2025 In the mid-1970s, Led Zeppelin was the undisputed heavyweight champion of rock. They flew in a private jet dubbed “The Starship,” sold out stadiums in minutes, and were often referred to in the press as “Rock Gods.” Yet, there was one man who could still make Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones feel like nervous teenagers: Elvis Presley. The 1974 meeting between these two musical dynasties remains one of the most legendary “behind-closed-doors” encounters in music history. It was a night when the architects of heavy metal were reminded exactly where the “fire” of rock and roll truly originated. The meeting took place in May 1974 at a hotel in Los Angeles after Led Zeppelin attended Elvis’s concert at the Forum. Despite their own massive fame, the “Zep” boys were uncharacteristically anxious about meeting the...

preparing for a new Fed Chairman

Image
Investors are preparing for a very different Federal Reserve in the year ahead. President Trump has signaled that he is closing in on a pick to be the next central-bank chair. He has also doubled down on his demand for lower interest rates and recently told The Wall Street Journal that he expects the new leader to be on board with his agenda. So far, markets have shown few signs of significant concern that the Fed would completely surrender its independence. But investors are still bracing for a central bank marked by unusual division, a potentially weaker chair and the lingering threat of more radical change. Here is a look at how they are assessing the different paths that the Fed could take: The threat to markets Analysts warn that a less independent Fed would pose a major threat to the economy and markets. Although the Fed controls short-term interest rates, borrowing costs in the U.S. are heavily influenced by yields on longer-term U.S. government bonds. And those are...

gold and silver prices zooming

Image
The prices of gold and silver have skyrocketed over the past year, prompting many monetary experts worldwide to speculate about the reasons behind this trend and what the prices of these rare metals could be at this time next year. Gold has risen about 10% over just the last month and 70% over the last year, while silver has gone up 40% over the last month and 134% this year. As of Monday, the price of just one ounce of gold sat at $4,470. Heightened geopolitical and economic uncertainty has boosted the demand for both gold and silver, which often move independently of many stock prices. Increased volatility in many bond markets, coupled with the devaluation of the U.S. Dollar, has both contributed to the increased demand for gold and silver. Both rare metals are often seen as hedges against hyperinflation and a safe, stable investment. Despite being widely seen as a safe investment, gold and silver carry their own volatility and risk, especially when buyers enter the market at a ...

Dean Martin destroyed vintage car While with Bing Crosby’s grandson

Image
In the early days of fast-food drive-thrus, Rat Pack legend Dean Martin once destroyed an expensive vintage car trying to get a burger for his girlfriend’s son. Phil Crosby Jr., Bing Crosby’s grandson, told Fox News Digital about how his mother once dated and was even engaged to Martin — who always called him "the kid" — following her "tumultuous" marriage to the "White Christmas" singer’s son, Phil Crosby Sr. "I was almost Dean Martin's stepson," he said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "So, if that had happened, I would have grown up with a silver spoon in my mouth, but that didn't happen." Crosby said he was very young at the time his mom, Peggy Crosby, now 85, began seeing the "That’s Amore" singer after meeting him at a club where she worked, following her short-lived marriage to Crosby "And I think my mother, she wasn't really ready [to be married again]," Crosby said of their even...

EVIL COMMUNIST CHINA turns radar beams into power

Image
Researchers in China have developed a smart electromagnetic surface capable of converting ambient electromagnetic waves into electrical power. This development represents an integration of electromagnetic engineering and communication principles. “In the case studies, by jointly optimizing parameters such as transceiver beamforming, robot trajectories, and RIS coefficients, solutions based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning and multi-objective optimization are proposed to solve problems such as beamforming design, path planning, target sensing, and data aggregation,” said the researchers in a new paper. The innovation focuses on a self-sustaining electronic system that combines wireless information transfer with energy harvesting, potentially altering the current methods used in electronic warfare and wireless networking. “Ultimately, it is expected to have a broad impact on 6G communications, the Internet of Things, intelligent stealth and other related fields,” add...

Lisa Marie Presley's autopsy 'unveils correlation with Elvis

Image
Elvis Presley and his immediate family share a heartbreaking pattern of premature deaths. The King's mother passed away at 46, while three of his uncles succumbed to heart, kidney, and liver complications during their forties and early fifties. The legendary performer himself was merely 42 at the time of his passing, with many believing his prescription drug dependency played a role. Nevertheless, Sally A. Hoedel, who penned Elvis: Destined to Die Young, presents compelling evidence in her thoroughly researched work that the fatal heart attack stemmed from hereditary and birth-related conditions he carried throughout his life, potentially linked to cousin marriages within his ancestral lineage. This year brought fresh heartbreak when the icon's sole offspring, Lisa Marie Presley, passed away in January following cardiac arrest at the age of 54. Recently released autopsy findings disclosed that her death resulted from intestinal blockage connected to bariatric surgery ...

Iran declares full scale war on America

Image
Iran has declared "total war" on America, Europe and Israel, with the Islamic Republic looking to rapidly rebuild its nuclear capabilities. The country's president made the inflammatory remarks in an interview published by state media on Saturday as he warned Tehran was in a position to launch attacks on the West and on Israel. “In my opinion, we are at total war with the United States, Israel and Europe. They want to bring our country to its knees,” Masoud Pezeshkian said before comparing the current situation to Iran's war in the 1980s with Iraq. He continued: "This war is worse than the one launched against us by Iraq. "On closer inspection, it is far more complex and difficult." He added: "In the war with Iraq, the situation was clear. They fired missiles, and it was clear where we would strike back. "But here, they are now besieging us in every respect, putting us under pressure and in tight corners, creating problems—economic...
