A man is walking down the beach and comes across an old bottle. He picks it up, pulls out the cork and out pops a genie! The genie says, “Thank you for freeing me from the bottle. In return I will grant you three wishes.” The man says “Great! I always dreamed of this and I know exactly what I want. First, I want one billion dollars in a Swiss bank account.” Poof! There is a flash of light and a piece of paper with account numbers appears in his hand! He continues, “Next, I want a brand new red Ferrari right here.” Poof! There is a flash of light and a bright red, brand-new Ferrari appears right next to him! He continues, “Finally, I want to be irresistible to women.” Poof! There is a flash of light and he turns into a box of chocolates.

NEW YORK (AP) — After more than six decades of making bicycles soar, sending swimmers panicking and other spellbinding close encounters, John Williams is putting the final notes on what may be his last film score. 

In an interview with The Associated Press, Williams says the fifth “Indiana Jones” film will probably be his last film. 

The 90-year-old composer is instead devoting most of his time to writing concert pieces, including a piano concerto. 

Still, Williams says he doesn't want to “categorically eliminate any activity" — even biking. 

The Kennedy Center and Tanglewood are planning celebrations this summer in honor of Williams' 90th birthday.

NEW YORK (AP) — How does Rick Astley handle one of his songs being part of the biggest internet meme of all time? 

He rolls with it, obviously. He says he's “ever so grateful for it.” 

”Never Gonna Give You Up" turns 35 this year and is still very much alive, buoyed by a second chapter as a gentle joke wherein someone baits you with an enticing online link, which points instead to the video for this 1987 dance-pop smash.

 Thirty-five years later, Astley is still singing it, this summer on tour with New Kids on the Block, Salt-N-Pepa, and En Vogue for the 57-date “The Mixtape Tour 2022.”

For two years, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords allowed a film crew to shadow her and husband Sen. Mark Kelly. 

The result is a film titled “Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down." 

An intimate look at Giffords’ recovery after the 2011 shooting that changed her life. 

But it's also an insider view of how the couple navigated gun control campaigns and a Senate campaign during a pandemic. 

The movie could not be any timelier on the heels of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting. 

Gun reform debates have been raging in government, schools and the U.S. Supreme Court. 

The documentary is from the same team behind Academy Award-nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary “RBG." 

The Giffords film arrives in theaters July 15.

Summer has arrived and that means the Barton County Fair Board is ramping up for this year's fair which will run from July 6-11. This year's fair will feature some popular musical acts and a variety of new events.

"We're trying to get things together," said Barton County Fair Board President Charles Atkinson. "We're posting everything online. We've still got some things we're planning on doing that we're working on real hard to get things together, getting all our volunteers and vendors lined up. We just kind of making all the pre-fair things happen so we can put on a good fair this year."

The fair begins with 4-H exhibit check-ins on the morning of July 6. Action really kicks off Thursday, July 7 with Christian band Stars go Dim performing on the Farmers Bank &amp; Trust Stage.

"That's a great Christian group that's played all over the radio," Atkinson said. "That's a free concert so we're excited to have them come in."

Friday's country concert will feature Tate Sevens with special guest Jadynce Schroeder. The big rock n' roll show Saturday night will feature a pair of tribute bands with Silver Bullet playing Bob Seger music, and Hells Bells closing out the night with AC/DC songs.

"(Hells Bells has been) here before and we had a really good time with them," said Atkinson. "On our country side, we have Tate Stephens coming in. He won the X Factor the first year, so he's got some music out there that's really good. We have a local talent Jaydence Schroeder who's coming in to open for him. We're really excited about bringing our local talent in to help us out."

This year's fair will not include a carnival as that remains a year-to-year issue, but the five days of fun will include many new events. Visit bartoncountyfair.com for a full schedule, and watch greatbendpost.com for more stories about this year's fair.

KZ Country Cheesy Joke of the Day 6/23/22

By COLE REIF Great Bend Post

The City of Great Bend is a participant in the Great Kansas Fishing Derby, and there are still prizes remaining for those that catch a fish at Veterans Lake.&nbsp; The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks has 500 specially tagged fish in public waterbodies across the state. Great Bend Community Coordinator Christina Hayes said if anglers catch a tagged fish they should return the tag to City Hall. "The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks is working with the city," said Hayes. "We've only given away three prizes and there are 15 total. If you catch one of the prize fish, you can turn in your tag number and win a prize." Fishermen can win concert tickets, gift cards, fishing tackle, cabin stays and cash. Every angler who catches and redeems a valid derby tag will be entered into a drawing to win a lifetime hunting and fishing license.

The Tony® Award-winning musical Million Dollar Quartet is coming to Salina's Stiefel Theatre.

The performance is scheduled for 8 p.m. Sept. 9 in the Stiefel Theatre, 151 S. Santa Fe Avenue.

Tickets start at $35 and go on sale at noon Friday. Buy online at www.stiefeltheatre.org, by visiting the Stiefel box office or by calling the Stiefel at 785-827-1998. The Stiefel box office is open for phone or walk-up sales from noon-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Information about the musical courtesy the Stiefel Theatre

On Dec. 4, 1956, an auspicious twist of fate brought together four young musicians – Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley. Sam Phillips, the undisputed Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll who was responsible for launching the careers of each of these icons, gathered the four legendary singer/songwriters at the Sun Records studio in Memphis for the first and only time. The result? One of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll jam sessions in history. 

Million Dollar Quartet brings that unbelievable musical moment to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal, humor, celebration, unforgettable performances of such timeless and enduring hits as Blue Suede Shoes, Fever, That’s All Right, Sixteen Tons, I Walk the Line, Great Balls of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues, Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On, Hound Dog, and more.

The cast of actors portraying the four legends in this jukebox musical certainly hold the likeness to the original artists. Elvis Presley will be played by Jacob Barton; Johnny Cash will be played by Steven Lasiter; Jerry Lee Lewis will be played by Trevor Dorner; Carl Perkins will be played by Nathan Burke; Sam Phillips will be played by Sean Casey Flanagan; Brother Jay Perkins will be played by Justin Bendel; Fluke is played by Jon Rossi; and Dyanne will be played by Taylor Kraft.  

Million Dollar Quartet won a Tony® Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical and received two Tony® nominations, one for Best Musical and one for Best Book of a Musical (Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux). The show received an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical, a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Musical Revue, and three Drama League nominations including Distinguished Production of a Musical and Distinguished Performance.

Million Dollar Quartet is written by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux. The show is directed by Tim Seib with musical direction by Jon Rossi and produced by Gershwin Entertainment. Lighting Design by Kirk Bookman, set design by Adam Koch and costume design by Jeffrey Meek.

Solomon Festival announces 2 days of events for 2022

NEW YORK (AP) — Sophie Allison's band Soccer Mommy is back with a third album, a wonderfully varied mix, from the industrial harshness of “Unholy Affliction” to the eerie “Following Eyes” to the airy “With U.” 

As the title suggests, “Sometimes, Forever,” is a push-and-pull of light and dark, happiness and sadness, both jumping from song to song but also within songs. She leaned into ’80s goth pop, like The Cure, The Smiths, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Siouxsie and the Banshees. 

Allison, one of Gen Z’s brightest voices, says she wanted to "play with both darkness and fun.”

NEW YORK (AP) — America has perfected the stressful TV cooking competition. Amateur or professional chefs are pitted against each other in high-pressure, scream-filled shows like “Chopped,” “Cutthroat Kitchen” or “Top Chef.” 

PBS hopes to change that with an original food competition show, “The Great American Recipe.” 

It dispenses with the angst and scary knife graphics. 

It’s more like “The Great British Baking Show” than “Hell’s Kitchen.” 

The show gathers 10 home cooks from all over the country and gives them the opportunity to showcase their signature dishes in a gentle and supportive way. 

The eight-episode series premieres Friday on PBS, PBS.org and the PBS Video app.

When “Elvis” opens in theaters Friday, it will resurrect one of the most iconic figures in American music in the biggest, most bedazzled film to ever try to capture the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. 

And it will propel Austin Butler, an Orange County, California, native best known to this point for playing Tex Watson in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood,” onto a far bigger stage. 

Butler’s is an electric Elvis, not campy nostalgia act, with more Bowie in him than you might expect. 

“Elvis,” which director Baz Luhrmann co-scripted, tells the singer's story through Presley’s infamous manager, Col. Tom Parker, played by Tom Hanks.
