Pop diva Janet Jackson is joining her brother Michael and the Jackson 5 as members of the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” earning her induction along with six other artists or bands on Dec. 13. They will be honored at the 34th induction ceremony, which is scheduled for March 29 in New York.
With the success of her albums such as Control, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 and Janet, Jackson is one of the world’s most celebrated singers. The five-time Grammy Award winner had been nominated twice previously, and her inclusion comes as the Hall of Fame expands its definition of “rock” to include more music genres, such as Rhythm and Blues (R&B).
The Hall of Fame surveyed more than 1,000 musicians, historians, industry professionals and past winners to choose new members. The other inductees were Stevie Nicks, the Cure, Radiohead, Roxy Music, the Zombies and Def Leppard, which gained most votes from fans. The votes were also incorporated into the survey in deciding who gets inducted.

A: Several Japanese and South Korean acts, such as BigBang, are participating in this year’s Coachella Music Festival. Have any Mando-pop singers ever performed at Coachella? B: Yup, K-pop group GOT7’s Hong Kong member Jackson Wang, and Taiwanese band Sunset Rollercoaster, which primarily performs in English, attended the festival before.

Concertgoers know the rush all too well — the moment the first notes play, your heart races, and nothing else seems to matter. For many, the excitement doesn’t end when the lights come back on. Some fans try to relive the performance by listening to the same songs for days afterward. __1__ A few days after an amazing show, they begin to feel unexpectedly low. Psychologists have coined a term for this phenomenon: “post-concert depression,” or “PCD.” PCD is primarily related to hormone levels. When you’re at a concert, the excitement causes your brain to release feel-good chemicals like
A new study suggests that chimpanzees can weigh evidence and make rational judgments. In the experiment, researchers placed two boxes in front of the chimpanzees. One box was set up to give strong evidence, such as letting the chimpanzees actually see food inside. The other was designed to provide weak evidence, like producing a rattling sound when it was shaken. The chimps consistently chose the box with strong evidence, even when the weaker clue appeared first. This indicated that they were not fooled by the order of presentation. In another trial where no strong evidence was available, the chimps
