Business
— Sep 14, 2026
Moon Dancer Vineyards & Winery in York County filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2026 to reorganize after closing its facilities the prior year, with assets of $100,000–$500,000 and debt between $1 million and $10 million, and creditors led by M&T Bank and the Small Business Administration.

— Sep 13, 2026
Across five profiles, the stories behind enduring songs reveal how personal upheaval and real-life episodes fuel iconic music: Dancing in the Moonlight grew from a violent St. Croix assault that inspired Sherman Kelly to write a hopeful anthem; Wasted Days and Wasted Nights emerged after Freddy Fender’s legal troubles delayed its release; These Days, Browne’s youthful ballad, has endured as a powerful reflection on youth and regret; Moonlight Feels Right became Starbuck’s breakthrough with its distinctive marimba-driven sound; and Alice’s Restaurant Massacred was born from Guthrie’s Thanksgiving littering arrest, a satire that shaped his anti-war-era classic.
