New Year Listings:Charlatans UK / RideThe WilternThe glory days of Britpop come crashing back thanks to the Madchester sounds of the Charlatans (UK, or whatever) and the glorious Oxford drone of Ride. That’s the best double bill since the Manic Street Preachers went out on tour with Suede. This is the second leg off this tour, after the same bands were at the same venue last February. “Ride and the Charlatans are two very different bands, joined together through a special era for UK indie rather than sonics,” we said in our review. “But the show also worked because both bands were blurring genre lines from the very beginning.”7 p.m. on Friday, January 5 at the Wiltern, $35+, livenation.com.The EaglesKia ForumThis is, we’re being told, the Eagles’ final tour.

Musk’s actions included making light of sexual harassment allegations against him, which the billionaire denied.“As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX — every tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public state...

Save the railings! A battle cry for preserving a historic Big Sur bridge — and spectacular coastal views

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:49:33 GMT

To drive over Big Sur’s Garrapata Creek Bridge is to witness a magic trick.The railing of the inhistoric bridge doesn’t conceal the stunning view — rather, the beach sails majestically into sight, seemingly unobstructed.But the vista is under threat, because the remarkable railings at this 1930s-era bridge — and five other famed “Big Sur Arches” — are cracking and dangerous, so they must be replaced with sturdier structures. Once they’re gone, so is the beautiful illusion.A proposed $8.8 million project by Caltrans to install safe new railings on the Garrapata Creek Bridge — obstructing the ocean view with a higher base, thicker top rail and smaller arches, reducing the width of the portals from 10 to 6 inches — has ignited a feud in this remote rugged landscape, immortalized in poetry, writings and millions of #BigSur Instagram posts.Opponents are issuing a call to arms: Save the railing!“It’s so much more than just a rail to keep people on the r...
