Steve Allen didn’t know what to make of Frank Zappa. The clean-cut young musician was promising to “play the bicycle” on the set of The Steve Allen Show in 1963, spinning the wheels and tapping on the spokes. The result, with the help of a tuneless orchestra behind him and...

Miamians rarely, if ever, have an excuse to complain about the weather. When the rest of America sits under a smothering carpet of snow, we can still usually go to the beach. Yes, we get some occasional flooding, but our rainstorms usually don't last longer than Game of Thrones episodes...
From Game of Thrones to The Handmaid's Tale, narratives of sexual assault have become particularly common in film and TV lately.

Kasich received a brief round of applause before turning around and signing a 20-week abortion ban.

Though 2016 will be remembered as the year when a slew of iconic celebrities died, none will have gone out with as much style as David Bowie. Today marks a year since the British singer-songwriter seemed to have turned his death into an artistic statement.
Florida sure looks like it's on the verge of legalizing medical marijuana. Poll after poll shows Amendment 2 riding well above the 60 percent threshold needed to pass. And although casino magnate and Trump BFF Sheldon Adelson has dropped $1.5 million to defeat the measure, that's way less than he...
You see them all over Miami: pampered pups riding in pastel strollers or walking on Louis Vuitton leashes. Pooches dine on freshly baked doggie biscuits at tony restaurants. Heck, there's even a special South Beach Wine & Food Festival event, Yappy Hour, that caters to dogs. To these pooches and...
Music fans and progressives alike spent most of the past year denouncing 2016 as a dumpster fire. But many of the American anxieties that came to a head last year surfaced in 2013. Over the course of those 12 months, we were confronted with the prospect of an overreaching and...
You've tried everything to overcome election-related stress: drinking, exercise, meditation, Ben & Jerry's, more drinking. Nothing has worked — yet. But who knows?

A national website this morning ranked Miami the nation's third best "foodie city" just behind Portland Oregon and two slots ahead of San Francisco. No kidding.

It's cartoon-level evil, like something Biff Tannen's toxic-waste company BiffCo from Back to the Future Part II would do. But in real life, that's exactly what a subsidiary of Miami's Carnival Corporation has been doing for years.
