The Grammy Awards – youngsters have watched too much TV and believe it’s all about production.
On to the Super Bowl! That's the shelf life of an ersatz awards show these days. The fawning press, part of the sell-out gravy train, casts no critical eye, the public tweets its snarkiness, and by breakfast we're done with the Pop Tart and on to something new. Blame Neil Portnow. Blame Ken Ehrlich. But... Continue Reading →

The music industry. We preyed on this naif and wanted to believe we could profit yet not be responsible.... Continue Reading →

Bruce Springsteen's 18th studio album is a portrait of the artist at the top of his 21st-century game: rock-soul dynamite and finely drawn pathos bound by familiar, urgent themes (national crisis, private struggle, the daily striving for more perfect union) and the certain-victor's force in Springsteen's singing. High Hopes is also a deep look back... Continue Reading →
