I write about the arts including those LIFE and TIME issues you see at the grocery store (Beach Boys, Madonna, Duran Duran...) and teach rock history at Berklee College of Music.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal

David Byrne brings β€˜Heaven’ to Boston Byrne believes that β€œHeaven” is community, and he wants the audience to feel that, if just for a night.

David Byrne spent a little more time with hope and joy than chaos. But at Boch Center Wang, he made space for "Heaven" and "Life During Wartime" with a bright, buoyant, and dramatic set.

Plus, genius line: "Frankly, anyone who had that much insight into where things were headed would probably also have known to just switch into a more viable line of work."

I don't know all that much about this. But my main take has always been, "If you don't like new music, you aren't listening to new music." Plus, the anti-pop stuff from the '80s to today tends to just repeat of the racist/misogynist/xenophobic "Disco sucks!" bullshit.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Bowie’s final boxed set celebrates music legend From the beginning of his end to his final album, Bowie would abandon his chase of the modern, his effort to incorporate emerging sonic trends. What wouldn’t: His devotion to craft.

David Bowie never slowed down and this box shows it.

Pogues tour rides into Suffolk Downs Over a string of albums in the ’80s and ’90s, the English band reinvigorated Celtic music with a punk twist giving birth to a whole new genre (and giving Dropkick Murphys permission to exist).
