'It sounded like the future': behind Miles Davis's greatest album On the 50th anniversary of Bitches Brew, one of the contributing musicians and the director of a new documentary share their thoughts on the record

"I took him to this art movie theater downtown to see the film Monterey Pop where Jimi Hendrix ended by squirting lighter fluid on his guitar, setting it on fire. Miles was next to me saying: ‘Fuuck!’ He was enchanted.”

'It sounded like the future' — behind Miles Davis's greatest album:

‘Fela Kuti was always in his pants’: legendary music photographer Val Wilmer’s greatest shoots She ate fried chicken with BB King, gave Jimi Hendrix a lift home from a gig and accidentally worked for MI6. The pioneer recalls her favourite subjects – and the ones like Miles Davis she’d rather forget

"She shot the The Beatles in 1963 and found them 'very bright and interesting.' Not long after, she captured Bob Dylan, still just in his 20s, and recalls: 'I think I was the only photographer at the gig.'"

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

“Family man” and Republican Senator from Ohio accepted money from Epstein's co-conspirator before working to bury the files.

How do these people live with themselves?

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

After Donations, Trump Administration Revoked Rule Requiring More Nursing Home Staff

More grift.

A nursing home super PAC donated millions to Trump’s campaign.

And, lo and behold, he made it easier for them to cut staffing to pad their profits.

Literally wheeling and dealing on the backs of the elderly and the disabled.

This man’s grift knows no low.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Candi Staton Is a Survivor. At 85, She’s Also a Grammy Nominee.

"While Candi Staton has dipped in and out of the spotlight during a seven-decade career that’s seen her resurrected by televangelists, ravers and the finale of 'Sex and the City,' she has always persevered."
