Sammy Hagar can tell you a thing or two about money. And he should know — he has lots of it. His penchant for excess is legendary. He throws himself epic birthday bashes that last for days, sometimes weeks. He owns homes in California, Hawaii, and Mexico, replete with a garage full of bad-ass cars…

For an outsider, Steven A. Clark has a clear perspective of Miami. Born in Arkansas, he caught the music bug during his formative years growing up in North Carolina. But even as a burgeoning artist, he was looking for a way out of the slow life of the South. “North Carolina didn’t have enough going on for me at the time,” Clark says.
Miami rap shows have always had a reputation for being shitty. They’re never complete without underage kids moshing in circles, someone’s girlfriend who doesn’t know the artist but tagged along for the hell of it, and every kind of drug you can imagine being passed around in the pit. A $uicideboy$ show is no different…
There aren’t too many crooners in modern rock like Scott Yoder. But it’s not Roy Orbison or Chris Isaak who Yoder is channeling when performing. “I always had an affinity for the classic films, like Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel,” Yoder says. “In these film-noir movies, they usually had a scene…
When the garage-rock political revolutionaries of MC5 recorded their live album Kick Out the Jams at Detroit’s Grande Ballroom in 1968, it became an instant classic. But guitarist Wayne Kramer still has an uneasy feeling about that concert. “It was a monumental night, but the pressure was too much…
K.D. Lang is one of the most resounding forces in music. The androgynous Canadian singer with a tuft of dark hair, an angelic voice, and sensual, butch energy ushered in a new era of acceptance for folks who don’t fit into traditional gender norms. Her gift for divine vocals was realized…

About halfway through the Miami edition of the On The Run II Tour, Jay-Z fucked up. He was alone on the stage, having just finished a medley of “Family Feud” and “Upgrade U” with his superstar wife and tourmate Beyoncé, followed by a solo, crowd-revving version of “Niggas in Paris.” Next on…
It’s so easy to mock farewell tours. Classic-rock legends embark upon them every few years when alimony or back taxes call them to the road one last time — until the next time. But eventually, every artist has a tour that ends up being a farewell. Tom Petty’s came last year, Prince’s the year before…

The 19-track album has been in the works for the past year and includes a bonus track that Ozuna says is “very special.” “Besos Mojados” features reggaeton royalty RKM and Ken-Y, who brought classics such as “Me Matas” and “Down” to the genre in the early 2000s.

Internet memes can change your life. One day you’re working at Subway, arguing with customers about the actual length of a footlong, and the next you’re a meme sensation.

Every November, Day of the Dead festivities draw droves of South Floridians to Fort Lauderdale’s Huizenga Plaza to reconnect with the spirits of their lost loved ones.
