Buddy Guy: ‘I’m the Last Old Man Playing the Blues’ At 89, the legendary guitarist is a vital link to the roots of an entire genre. Thanks to Sinners and a busy schedule, he's also just plain vital. https://t.co/BRpipvjnM6

You don’t rise up in the spring - you reveal who you became in the dark months nobody saw. The off-season is where confidence is built, toughness is earned, and roles are won. Most talk about wanting it… few are working for it right now.

David Byrne is brat. 🟢 During his Rolling Stone interview, he talks about how he is a @charli_xcx fan. "I thought, 'Wow, this is very cool stuff'"

One thing David Byrne remembers about Lou Reed: that man could eat some ice cream. 🍦 "I think he went through like two of those quart containers of Häagen-Dazs ice cream in one sitting."

never understood why venues picked this candy to give out at shows. basically no flavor, terrible texture, way too chewy. honestly worse than circus peanuts.

this awesome album is out now!
Kai Slater made one of 2025's best rock debuts as the singer-guitarist in 'Lifeguard' — and now he’s getting ready to unveil another great album from his Beatles-y solo project, Sharp Pins. He tells us how he channeled ‘Revolver’ in his Chicago bedroom https://t.co/NTWTKMrr9o

i will be very disappointed if christopher nolan's Odyssey film is not historically accurate in every way, including the famous opening scene in Martello Tower, lunch at Davy Byrne's pub, the Citizen throwing the biscuit tin, etc

Wrote about emailing with Todd Snider, who I will miss.

Todd Snider, who died last week at 59, was a one-of-kind songwriter. As one Rolling Stone editor remembers, he was pretty good on email, too

I spent many memorable days with @ladygaga in 2009 and 2011. In the intervening years, “a lifetime of stuff” happened, as she puts it – and we finally got a chance to talk about all of it. Here’s my new Rolling Stone cover story, featuring Lady Gaga. https://t.co/SslV3inLev

just saw a press release about a new indie-rock band called The Bends playing Mercury Lounge later this month. missed opportunity to book a similarly-sized, equally prestigious rock venue one borough over and say... Baby's Got the Bends
