Q: Ariana Grande's song "7 Rings" is a blatant copy of "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music." How can she do this? Is "The Sound of Music" in the public domain?
Neither the 1959 stage musical "The Sound of Music" nor any of the songs from its book are in the public domain. So Ariana Grande got away with using its most famous song the old-fashioned way: by ponying up for it.
And no one gives their "Favorite Things" away cheaply, including the estates of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. Reportedly, 90% of the proceeds from Grande's pop hit "7 Rings" go to the estates of the legendary duo who wrote the original musical.

Q: Did Kenny Rogers and Burt Reynolds ever do a movie together? They were around at the right time, and they seem like they would have made a good pairing.
Burt Reynolds had a varied career, but enough of his movies were at least country-adjacent (think 1977's "Smokey and the Bandit" and 1972's "Deliverance") that it was almost inevitable his path would cross with one of the biggest country stars of all time. And it did, twice.
