Who the eff orders chicken fingers at a Morrissey concert?
Who the eff orders chicken fingers at a Morrissey concert?

• First, a moment of silence for bassist and Yes cofounder Chris Squire. Squire passed away yesterday at the age of 67 after having announced only a month ago that he was suffering from leukemia. According to Rolling Stone, Squire was the only member of Yes to appear on all the band's albums.

• On Saturday, Morrissey took the stage at Madison Square Garden for the first time in 25 years and announced that the venue had gone entirely meat-free for his show. However, a tipster up in the corporate suites spilled the beans to Gothamist that this was not the case. They had cereal-crusted chicken fingers, a variety of sushi, brisket, and meatball sliders up there in the fancy seats. I think it's safe to speculate that Saturday may have been his final show in that particular stadium.

• Last night, Kendrick Lamar opened the BET Awards by performing "Alright," from this year's To Pimp a Butterfly, on top of a graffitied cop car while a gigantic American flag streamed in the background. After the killings in Charleston, President Obama's touching eulogy for Reverend Clementa Pickney, and Bree Newsome's removal of the Confederate flag from South Carolina's state house, a black man standing in front of the US flag singing "We're gonna be all right" was a powerful message that needed to be seen and heard on mainstream television.

• Also on Sunday night, Wavves' Nathan Williams and Cloud Nothings' Dylan Baldi released their collaborative album, No Life for Me. It's available on Bandcamp and iTunes, or you can preorder the vinyl edition for $15 via Williams's label Ghost Ramp. They won't be touring together, but expect to see more of Williams, who announced on Twitter that Wavves might release a new album in August.

• We were also introduced to the term "rainbowgate" this weekend, when Grateful Dead fans debated whether or not the colorful prism that appeared during “Viola Lee Blues” was real or man-made. (Apparently, such a thing is possible.) The two-night run at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, marked the beginning of the Dead's 50th-anniversary Fare Thee Well tour. Peter Shapiro, coproducer of the show, told Billboard, "It was man-made, and the man that made it was Jerry Garcia." Far out.

• I would most certainly poke fun at a music video with a two-minute trailer all its own, if said trailer had not been bestowed upon us by Rihanna. Evan E. Rogers directed the upcoming extravaganza for "Bitch Better Have My Money," in which RiRi appears to be kidnapping some rich broad dressed head-to-toe in white, while she herself rocks skunk furs and military-inspired ensembles. She's got you, and your little dog, too. According to Idolator, the full video will premiere July 2.
