New York’s third congressional district has elected a replacement for serial liar and indicted former Congressman George Santos.
Democrat Tom Suozzi won the New York race to succeed Santos, beating Republican Mazi Pilip, the Associated Press reported.
Santos, who was expelled from the House of Representatives in December, is one of several Republican departures in the lower chamber that shrunk the GOP’s already slim majority to only seven votes. Suozzi’s win narrows the GOP’s House majority. Santos gloated over Democrat Tom Suozzi winning the race to replace him in Congress,...

John Lennon became an inspirational artist with The Beatles. That doesn’t mean he didn’t get starstruck by other musicians sometimes. He placed his wife, Yoko Ono, on a pedestal, saying she was as important as Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan. Speaking of Dylan, he once said John and him shared a non-musical similarity — their childhood homes.

Many older homes in and around Liverpool probably don’t draw much attention. The houses where John and Paul McCartney grew up would be exceptions. England’s National Trust maintains both properties and keeps them in a state of suspended animation. The group decorated the interiors as they would have looked in the late 1950s when Lennon and Macca...

In the early 1960s, Bob Dylan released a number of protest songs that kick-started his career. By the mid-60s, he had moved away from protest music, even claiming that he had never had any interest in the genre. It’s difficult to separate Dylan from protest songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Masters of War,” but he has kept his distance from protest music for the vast majority of his career.
Bob Dylan | Val Wilmer/Redferns Bob Dylan started his career singing protest songs
Dylan has released a number of immediately recognizable protest songs, but he released most of them at the beginning of his career. His 1963 album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan held many of his classics, like “Masters of War” and “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” were topical and scathing criticisms.
Dylan’s music even brought him to the March on Washington in 1963, which he said was an incredibly moving experience.
