A rock legend is returning to the road and returning to Florida. Stevie Nicks, on whom I've had a crush for more than 40 years, has just announced an 18-city fall tour. That includes two stops in Florida, one of them in Tampa at the Mid-Florida Credit Union Amphitheater on October 25th. Tickets for Stevie Nicks go on sale to the general public this Friday.

A 70-year-old Mickey Mantle baseball card could break auction records next month. Currently, a New Jersey waste management entrepreneur owns the 1952 card, which is said to be in near perfect condition. He bought the card back in 1991 for 50-thousand-dollars. By the time the auction ends, it's estimated the final cost of the 1952 Mickey Mantle card could exceed ten million dollars.
And, finally, Martha Stewart took to Instagram the other day to announce that six of her pet peacocks were attacked and eaten by coyotes. Martha's followers, however, were confused when the sadness of her message was contrasted with the music playing in the background of her peacock memorial video. Stewart later claimed she doesn't know how "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye became attached to her dead peacock post. Fans online are offering Stewart their condolences as well as laughing at the choice of mood music.

Ice cream lovers are saying goodbye to the Choco Taco. The famous packaged ice cream product that came in a taco-shaped cone is being discontinued by Klondike.
The company says it made some tough decisions to ensure availability of its full portfolio nationwide during the pandemic. The Choco Taco has been around since the early 1980s, starting out in ice cream trucks before being distributed more widely. Fans may still be able to find some Choco Tacos on shelves as retailers sell through the last of their inventory.

Boaters in Massachusetts have a whale of a tale that's a bit more than they bargained for. The waters off Plymouth were busy Sunday morning when a humpback whale breeched the water and landed right on top of a boat. The incident, caught on camera, surprisingly left the 19-foot-vessel with only light damage. There were no injuries and the boat returned under its own power. The harbormaster said the boat was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
