Hip-hop star Flo Rida has entered a deal for first-time offenders for his DUI arrest in Miami Beach earlier this year. The rapper's attorney told the Miami Herald today that he will enroll in the "Back on Track" program, which will require him to perform community service and attend classes. If he completes these requirements, his charge will be amended to reckless driving.

“Everything in Its Right Place”

Radiohead | 2000

Thom Yorke hit rock bottom the moment he walked offstage after a 1997 concert in Birmingham, England, which initially left him unable to speak and later led him to write the eerie, discombobulated “Everything.” “Lots of people say that song is gibberish,” he told Rolling Stone. “It’s not. It’s totally about that” – the mute paralysis that had swept over Yorke after the Birmingham show, which stayed with him through the simultaneous recording of Kid A and Amnesiac. Quoting the song’s repeated line, “Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon,” Yorke twisted his face into a ferocious grimace, explaining, “That’s the face I had for three years.”
