What Happens When a Musician Plays Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Pride and Joy” on a Kids’ Guitar at Walmart

What Happens When a Musician Plays Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Pride and Joy” on a $25 Kids’ Guitar at Walmart

Published by José Betancourt

There’s a maxim that says, “It’s not the guitar, it’s the player.” And the video above bears it out. In this clip, musician Clay Shelburn and his pal Zac Stokes visit a Walmart at 3 a.m. and pick up a Disney Cars 2 toy guitar. Next, they proceed to play Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Pride and Joy” and unleash the full potential of that $25 guitar. The Barbies all go crazy. When it comes to the blues, any old guitar will do. That we know. But if you care to watch Shelburn play the same song on a guitar that runs north of $1,000, check out the video below.

Stevie Nicks Makes a Bewitching First Appearance for Met Gala 2026

Published by Sam Flores

For decades, Stevie Nicks has been a major style inspiration for generations of women and a few men. But until Met Gala 2026, the former Fleetwood Mac songbird has never walked the carpet at this event. On Monday night, she walked the carpet wearing a custom Zara dress designed by John Galliano. Her midnight blue silk taffeta gown with a matching velvet jacket and a crinoline silhouette didn’t feel totally disparate from any stage ensemble the Black Magic Woman might wear. The overlay skirt was embroidered with appliqué tulle and chiffon roses. And her bohemian top hat, complete with feather adornments, was made in collaboration with milliner Stephen Jones, who has designed others for her (and features the “412 Stevie,” which he says refers to his muse). Galliano himself wore a tuxedo from Saville Row tailor Anderson & Sheppard. Earlier this year, Galliano announced that he would be designing a collection for Zara, but the looks he designed for Nicks and fellow guest Marta Ortega Perez, the chairwoman of Zara’s parent company Inditex, are not …

Casualty airs major Stevie and Matty twist after Kim’s death in new boxset

Published by Daniella Wilson

Viewers will undoubtedly still be reeling from the emotional conclusion to Casualty’s Learning Curve boxset, which saw Kim Chang (Jasmine Bayes) tragically die from multiple organ failure. However, following confirmation that the latest boxset – entitled Lethal Legacy – would be heading to our screens just one week later, there was little breathing room for the characters to deal with their grief and presumed responsibility for the resident doctor’s death. As fans will recall, Kim’s colleague Matty Linlaker (Aron Julius) found her unconscious at home, having taken a lethal overdose of appetite suppressants and weight loss medication. He also discovered her journal, which detailed every time mentor Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) had reprimanded her. He instantly blamed Stevie for what had happened, but it was clear that he was also taking some of the guilt having arrived at Holby City together. In today’s episode, the staff had no time to recover following Kim’s funeral and were thrown into a new dilemma at the ED. Patients were being admitted with a mystery illness, and nobody could …

Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Stevie Wonder Honor Eddie Murphy at AFI’s Lifetime Achievement Award

Published by Sam Flores

Kevin Hart opened up the tribute to Murphy, by talking about the influence he had over every comic’s career and the walls he broke down as a black comedian. This was a prevailing theme throughout the night. “He’s our power. He’s our friend,” Hart said. “And even you white people think he’s your friend, and he’s done a lot to show you different! He’s given us the gift of laughter across generations.” In video interstitials, Murphy reflected upon his career. He pointed out that in Beverly Hills Cop, his character flipped the script on the usual tropes by having a black man not just tolerated in a position of power, but to take charge. He cited Peter Sellers as an inspiration to play multiple roles in movies like The Nutty Professor and Coming to America. He also pointed out that the industry initially complained about the novelty of Boomerang‘s all-black cast when it first premiered. Stevie Wonder received a standing ovation when he took the stage. Murphy famously parodied Wonder on SNL, but the two …
