Robert Plant's friendship with John Bonham helped him through the grief of losing his son

“[He and] his wife, Pat—they were magnificent with us and helped us a lot.”

In July 1977, Robert Plant's life changed forever when Karac, his 5-year-old son, died from a stomach virus while Led Zeppelin were touring the U.S. During this period of immense grief, he found vital support through his family and friends—including one of rock's most revered drummers, bandmate John "Bonzo" Bonham.

"I’d spent so much time trying to be a decent dad, but at the same time I was really attracted to what I was doing in Zeppelin," Plant told Classic Rock in 2020. "So when he bowed out, I just thought: 'What’s it all worth? What’s that all about? Would it have been any different if I was there, if I’d been around?' So I was thinking about the merit of my life at that time, and whether or not I needed to put a lot more into the reality of the people that I loved and cared for—my daughter and my family generally. So yeah, I was ready to jack it in, until Bonzo came along."

Trans man's joy from being called "bossman" in kebab shop gets perfect response from other guys

“Guys literally want one thing and it’s f***ing wholesome.”

“As a trans man, there's nothing more gender affirming than being called "bossman" in the kebab shop,” @perscitia posted on the subreddit r/CasualUK. “Forget all the medication and the surgeries and everything else, getting a casual "boss" or "mate" from a random bloke is worth everything. Made my entire week!” He maybe wasn’t expecting an outpouring of upvotes, now numbering around 29K and a host of wholesome, kind comments from people not just commiserating but congratulating him.

“A thousand Mans, lads, mates, fellas, and sirs to you on this blessed day. You are seen,” @Scarrmann wrote.

The surprising reason Steve Jobs is inspiring Gen Z  to wear uniforms at work

Think different?

For many people, wearing a uniform could seem like the death of one’s soul, but for others, it’s a way to stay sane. After all, it worked for Steve Jobs. Gen Z is turning to the Apple entrepreneur for inspiration as they dress for the workplace, adopting a “uniform” of sorts not just to avoid decision fatigue, but to keep their jobs.

According to Fortune and MSN, “six in 10 employers admitted to firing Gen Z workers just months after hiring them. The bosses in question cited young workers’ inappropriate fashion choices as one of the key reasons for their sacking.” Other reasons included regular lateness and office-inappropriate language, Fortune shares.
