On Saturday, Bon Iver celebrated the tenth anniversary of their classic album For Emma, Forever Ago with a revelatory performance in Milwaukee. Meanwhile, news was breaking that the band's longtime manager Kyle Frenette is planning to challenge incumbent Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) for a seat representing Wisconsin in the U.S. Congress.

"I'm running for Congress in WI-07, because this state and this country are in desperate need of better leadership," read the e-mail away message of Frenette, who has filed to run as a Democrat. "I haven't officially announced yet but will be in the next two weeks."

The Seventh Congressional District is geographically the largest in the state, encompassing a wide swath of central and northwestern Wisconsin. It tilted Democratic in presidential elections until 2012, when Republican candidate Mitt Romney won a narrow majority over Barack Obama. Donald Trump won the district with 58% of the vote in 2016.

At the actual NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night, Fergie performed the National Anthem as — for better or for worse — you've never heard it before. Players and fans were heard to chuckle throughout the Staples Center as Fergie sang an unusually sultry rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. After the anthem was finished, Charles Barkley said he needed a cigarette.

"I love this country and honestly tried my best," said Fergie after her questionable performance went viral on social media. "I'm a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn't strike the intended tone." (Rolling Stone)
