Paul McCartney gave all his Southern California fans a last-minute chance to see him before Desert Trip this weekend.
As part of his "One On One" tour, McCartney and his band will play at Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace at 8:30 p.m. Thursday. But there was a catch: tickets are only available at the box office starting at 6:30 p.m. and no lineups are permitted before 3 p.m.
As we prepare for the second and final weekend of this month's Desert Trip, we can't help but think about the music festival's future.
Paul Tollett, the president of Goldenvoice, managed to put together two historic weekends with six remarkable '60s headliners — the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, The Who and Roger Waters — for 2016. The question now: will he be able to pull it off a second time in 2017? And if so, who?
In case you've missed it, the first weekend of the Desert Trip festival is kicking off tonight with performances by Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones.
The festival is taking place in the Empire Polo Club in Indio, the same venue as Coachella which has led to some calling it "Old-chella." The historic concert caught the eye of TV personality Ellen DeGeneres and she compared the two festivals.
This past Monday, I sat in front of a computer screen in California and watched as Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and FARC leader Rodrigo “Timochenko” Londoño signed a peace agreement four years in the making, marking the end of a five-decade war, Latin America’s longest.
“We’ve lived, we’ve suffered for 52 years in an armed conflict between sons of the same nation,” Santos said during a ceremony with 2,500 foreign dignitaries and guests. “The horrible night of violence that has covered us with its shadow for more than half a century has ended.”
Vegetarians and vegans who miss their occasional burger: New meal options might be coming your way at In-N-Out.
More than 30,000 people have signed a Change.org petition, which was started early September by the Good Food Institute, asking for the fast food company to add a meatless option to its menu. “As a company that prides itself on both customer satisfaction and ethical business practices, adding a meat-free option is a no-brainer,” the petition reads.

It's not every day you hear about two young women launching a buzzworthy shoe collection - especially before obtaining their college degrees. But that is the case with Daniela and Roberta Nuñez. The sisters launched the David Isaac collection less than a year ago, which consists of heels and flats that the sisters proudly designed as "classics."
Daniela, 23, and Roberta Nuñez, 22, were born less than a year apart in Mexico City. Their family moved to Dallas, TX, when the girls were still toddlers and have lived there ever since.
The two found their passion in fashion; both of them will be receiving their degrees this June from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM), which has notable alumni such as Lauren Conrad and Monique Lhuillier.
There are few Latino students in highly selective colleges and universities though the good news is that the numbers are increasing despite the increased competition. Attending these institutions is valuable for many reasons, including higher graduation rates and the availability of more resources for Latino students, according to a new report released Tuesday by Excelencia in Education.
Of all Latino undergraduates, only 12 percent were enrolled in selective higher education institutions — universities that accept less than 50 percent of applicants.
As the countdown to my college graduation comes to an end, I want to take a moment to recognize that this achievement is as much because of my mother than because of me.
My mom earned her Bachelor's degree from the National Pedagogic University of Colombia on February 4th, 1994. I was born on February 10th. I've always teased my mom and told her she should be thankful that I didn't decide to make my debut earlier.
Before the release of her memoir 'In The Country We Love: My Family Divided,' actress and activist Diane Guerrero spoke to NBC Latino about her family's deportation, her struggle with depression, and what she thinks about the current state of immigration reform
I first met Diane Guerrero on a domestic flight in Colombia in December 2015. I was jetlagged and awkwardly approached her and told her she was great inOrange Is The New Black and Jane The Virgin. The interaction lasted, maybe, 30 seconds, but she was approachable and made a lasting impression.
The same can be said for her new book, 'In the Country We Love: My Family Divided.'
In a video YouTube user Luis Vazquez posted to the video-sharing site last Tuesday, the dad shows his young son skipping his way into the Coldplay show on April 16 in Mexico City. The video cuts to Vazquez and his son in the crowd, listening to the last two minutes of the band's live performance of "Fix You." The stirring 2005 hit's lyrics offer hope and help to someone who's enduring sadness and adversity.
Nearly 400,000 Latino children between the ages of 0 and 4 were undercounted in the 2010 Census, according to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund and Child Trends Hispanic Institute.
