They’re packing the tents up now. The mud has developed a crust, and the tailbacks of cars leaving the site are preposterous. This year’s Glastonbury Festival is over, leaving behind nothing but a huge cleanup operation and several thousand blown minds. Here, in no particular order, are five performances which shook the festival site so hard, the mud was left vibrating like jello on a tumble-drier. Primal Scream Touring 1990’s act of musical wonderment, the album “Screamadelica”, has clearly done nothing but good things to this loose affiliation of dance-rock renegades. Rather than slavishly recreate every bleep and beat of the original, they’ve been playful, re-introducing heavily remixed space-jams like “Come Together” to the songs from which they sprang. And who can fail to be moved by a gospel choir? Britpop Secret Shows Thom Yorke of Radiohead Every Glastonbury throws up rumours of special performances: the Beatles will get back together, Led Zeppelin ar...

  Warner Bros. is joining forces with Mel Gibson to develop a movie about the Jewish hero Judah Maccabee, and Basic Instinct screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has come aboard to write the screenplay. Gibson will produce through his Icon Productions and will decide whether he’ll act in or direct the film once the script is completed. Although Gibson was accused of anti-Semitism by a number of Jewish leaders when he released The Passion of the Christ in 2004, he’s wanted to tackle a movie about Maccabee for more than a decade. Maccabbee, considered one of the great warriors in Jewish history, led a popular revolt against he Seleucid king Antiochus IV, seizing Jerusalem and reconsecrating the Temple, an event remembered by the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Eszterhas, who hit it big in the ‘80s with movies like Flashdance, Jagged Edge and Basic Instinct, before retreating from Hollywood in recent years, has been talking with Gibson for about a year and did a lot of his own research on the...

Facing expensive treatment for their son, Messi's parents moved to Spain as Newell's were not able to afford the medical costs ...

4. Ocean City Boardwalk, Maryland The three-mile (five-kilometer) promenade at the southern tip of Ocean City, Maryland, is typically thronged with beachgoers on summer evenings, munching Thrashers French fries (a dousing of vinegar is a must) and queuing up for a spin aboard antique rides, like the Herschel-Spellman carousel built in 1902. Don’t miss the Life-Saving Station Museum for a look at the history of shipwrecks and the rescue teams that came to their aid. 5. Ocean Front Walk, Venice Beach, California If California is the land of freewheeling culture, then the Venice Boardwalk is its epicenter. While much of the town’s boutiques have gone upscale and beachfront property has been snapped up by Hollywood A-listers, the three-mile (five-kilometer) beachside stretch of fortune-tellers, tattoo artists, weightlifters, handmade jewelry peddlers, and street performers is a remnant of the town’s turn as a bohemian and surf mecca in the 1960s. 6. Rehoboth Beach Boardw...

From Brooklyn's "Sodom by the Sea" to the freewheeling culture of California's Venice, check out the best boardwalks summer has to offer. 1. Atlantic City Boardwalk, New Jersey The first wooden planks were laid in Atlantic City in 1870 to curb the amount of sand beachcombers tracked into the train and hotel lobbies. Today, the four-mile (six-kilometer) great wooden way—the grandfather of boardwalks—anchors this resort town, winding past flashy casinos, glitzy hotel towers, cavernous arcade halls, and a neon-lit amusement pier. 2. Coney Island Boardwalk, Brooklyn, New York Dubbed "Sodom by the Sea" back in the 19th century for its gambling houses and brothels, the Coney Island Boardwalk began a comeback in the 1980s. More recently, the city revitalized the legendary amusement area Luna Park with 19 shiny new rides, including the much-hyped Air Race, a thrill inspired by aerial racing, and an entertainment line-up heavy on magic and juggling sh...
