On it, Springsteen sings, “The road is long and seeming without end/ The days go on, I remember you my friend/ And though you’re gone And my heart’s been emptied it seems I’ll see you in my dream.” Gudinski, chairman of the powerhouse Mushroom Group of Companies, died Monday (March 1) at his home in Melbourne, aged 68, sending shockwaves through the Australian music community and around the globe.

10 Artists Worth Bringing Back VH1 Storytellers For
Kendrick Lamar photo by Amy Price; St. Vincent photo by David Brendan Hall; Janelle Monáe photo by Philip Cosores VH1 Storytellers was such a cool show. It borrowed the idea of MTV Unplugged — a hugely popular act performing a stripped-down set in front of an intimate audience — and took it one step further. Audiences could see and hear artists in a more relaxed setting, dishing on their careers and telling stories about creating the songs we know and love. Storytellers first aired 25 years ago in late February 1996; Kinks mastermind Ray Davies was the first performer. It ran for 97 more episodes, the last starring Ed Sheeran in 2015. In between, there was a veritable Who’s Who of talent, from classic rock gods like David Bowie and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to ‘90s stars like Pearl ...

In Demand: Rostam Talks New Album, Haim’s Grammy Nod and Why Clairo ‘Gave Me Hope For a Generation’
He’s equally picky when it comes to his own work, saying he’ll often spend months thinking of lyrics to sing on top of beats he’s made. But last year, while recovering from COVID-19, Rostam rather quickly wrote what became the lead single on his upcoming second album, Changephobia, out June 4 on Matsor Projects (via Secretly Distribution). “That one came right out of me,” he says of the spacious alternative-rock song, titled “These Kids We Knew,” which is broadly about global warming. “I also felt certain that it wasn’t going to be on my album, but I think that’s a classic situation. I remember the first time Frank Ocean played me ‘Nikes,’ he was like, ‘This is not for my album, this is not from my album.’ And then when the album came out...
Will Smith opens up about running for president
Will Smith has opened up about possibly running for president at some point in his career, and we wouldn’t put it past him.

Appearing on the Pod Save America podcast, hosted by Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor, the Bad Boys actor teased that the Smith family could be headed for the White House. When asked what he thinks about entering politics and running for office himself, he laughed: ‘I think for now, I’ll let that office get cleaned up a little bit and then I’ll consider that at some point down the line. ‘I don’t know, it’s like, I absolutely have an opinion, I’m optimistic, I’m hopeful, I believe in understanding between people. I believe in ...

Cave, the legendary singer and songwriter, and Ellis, the dynamic Bad Seed and Dirty Three violinist, have worked together for decades, in the studio and on the road. They’ve composed film scores, basically lived in each other’s pockets. They even counted on one another as bandmates, in Grinderman. They’ve never cut an entire album of works as a duo, until now. Cave and Ellis dropped the aptly-named Carnage at the stroke of midnight. It’s an album, explains Cave, an inductee in the ARIA Hall of Fame, that’s “a brutal but very beautiful record nested in a communal catastrophe.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
