Myf and Zan are bored shitless by the Superbowl Halftime Show, but the absence of a real headliner has more to say about the power of protest than the lack of Levine’s clothing. A Hottest 100 revote reveals that you shouldn’t mess with history, and confirms that songs can triumph as emotional memory above all else. We’ve got the latest Fyre Festival update, and Myf is overjoyed at a new season of Call My Agent, while Zan is compelled by a brilliant account of an Australian tragedy.
