Two baby owls are said to be in "good health" after being found under a stage during last month's Glastonbury Festival in England. An official with an area wildlife rescue said the chicks were abandoned by their parents, who were likely scared off by the loud music. The owl siblings are believed to have been there for two days of loud rock music until they were found during a performance by Guns N' Roses.
Fittingly, the two owls have been named Axl and Slash.

A new book about the Kennedys is claiming a marijuana plant was once found on the family's Cape Cod property back in the mid-70s. The book "White House by the Sea" details a time when an assistant to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis saw family members messing around in the garden, so she investigated and discovered the pot plant. She then told the police chief and they both spilled the beans to the former First Lady. The book goes on to say Jackie "O" told them to keep the issue quiet after they assured her they'd get rid of the plant.
