Gavin Newsom (D) on Tuesday slammed Target’s chief executive for pulling LGBTQ and Pride Month merchandise from store shelves after facing backlash and threats of violence from some customers.“CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage.

Hoodoo Gurus Revisit Their Scene on Sunset: It’s been a while single Australian college rock band the Hoodoo Gurus were last in these parts, and you could tell at the Roxy on Tuesday. The place was packed — their no-longer-college-age fanbase seemingly not put off by the $100+ ticket price. And the sense of anticipation in the air prior to showtime was tangible.The band was sensitive to their aging fans too; there was no opening act, the Hoodoos went on stage at 8:15 and were done at 10 p.m. With work in the morning, being in bed by 11 was welcome on a Tuesday. Mock all you want.That said, not a single minute of that hour and three quarters was wasted. The Gurus, obviously looking less jangly than they did in their ’80s heyday but still full of life, played one infectious alt-rock ditty after another, spanning their illustrious career.We got eight songs from their ’84 Stoneage Romeos debut, including the singalong “I Want You Back” and the hyper-p...
