Musical chemistry knows no age.

By Ryan Reed

Dorothea Taylor, the 75-year-old "Godmother of Drumming," has been playing for over six decades. She first went viral in 2020 with her thoughtful drum lessons and rock-solid covers, including Disturbed’s 2000 nu-metal hit "Down With the Sickness." She’s since become a social media legend: racking up over a million followers on both Instagram and TikTok, and even playing in a "drum-off" against The Roots’ Questlove on The Tonight Show.

Now Taylor’s reached the national news with another incredible video after playing with a young bucket drummer in downtown Nashville. People are really responding to the footage, charmed by its musicality and intimate vibe. As one commenter replied, "Different generations, completely different lives. But in this moment, they spoke the same language. Just without words."

Man's unique gift for naming cats has strangers asking him to name their kittens

Hersberry, O'dis, Nuffin—watch how "Unc" comes up with his adorable names.

By Annie Reneau

"The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, it isn't just one of your holiday games…" – T.S. Eliot

One of the best parts of getting a new pet is choosing a name for them. Unlike children, who have conscious feelings about their names and may object to off-the-wall choices at some point, a pet presumably couldn't care less what the humans in their lives call them. A dog could be named Fred, Red, or Potatohead and be none the wiser. We've seen cats with names that go far beyond the norm even for pet names, like Parking Lot, Crunchwrap Supreme, and Missile Launcher (Missy for short) among other creative monikers.

But if any animals were going to care about what we name them, surely it would be our finicky feline friends. And one man, whom we'll call Unc (for his @UncGotThaMunchies handle), seems to have a gift for giving kitties very special (or rather, "pecial") names. Unc has become the father of 13 kitties, and his naming of cats has become a bit of a viral phenomenon.
