C’è qualcosa di amministrativamente irricevibile nella notizia che Francesco Guccini è morto questa mattina a Pavana: è come se un ente pubblico avesse annunciato, con un freddo comunicato stampa, la cessazione in essere dell’Appennino tosco-emiliano.Il fatto è che Guccini, negli anni, era diventato meno una persona e più un sistema di infrastrutture territoriali: comprendeva trafori montani, osterie con illuminazione discutibile, stazioni ferroviarie semiabbandonate, moltissime tovaglie a quadretti, appartamenti bolognesi riscaldati soprattutto dalle discussioni, autogrill chiusi di giorno, cinema d’essai con sedie spaiate, fotografie scolorite, fiaschi impagliati, cappotti appesi troppo vicino alle stufe, atlanti aperti su imperi già finiti e operai…

To hear Stella Lefty tell it, she never wanted to be a star. The 23-year-old Chicagoan and daughter of billionaire Groupon co-founder Eric Lefkofsky grew up playing guitar and loving Taylor Swift, whose charming if parroted twang she adopted. Lefty used to think all artists had to make their own music, but when she discovered the concept of songwriting, she knew she’d found a dream. Fresh out of college, she headed to Nashville to join in some sessions. The gig fell through after her boss insisted she take the stage herself, which she found “so annoying.” Why couldn’t she just…

A decade after serving as GN’R’s opening act, the country singer appears onstage with Axl Rose, Slash and Co. A decade after Chris Stapleton first served as Guns N’ Roses’ opening act, the country singer joined the band onstage during their Toronto concert Wednesday to perform “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” Stapleton and Axl Rose shared lead vocals on GN’R’s rendition of the Bob Dylan classic, with Stapleton — in town for his own Toronto show Thursday night at Rogers Stadium, the same venue as GN’R’s gig — also providing rhythm guitar as Slash embarked on a lengthier-than-usual solo: Roughly a…

Let’s raise a dirty glass to a true rock & roll legend: the Lyres’ Jeff “Monoman” Conolly. When the gods of rock built this guy, they broke the mold, probably on purpose. Conolly was a Boston rock kingpin, the garage-punk godfather who cranked out a string of ferocious indie records in the 1980s, snarling frantic raves like “Don’t Give It Up Now” and “She Pays the Rent.” Monoman died on July 31 of cancer, at 69, and the world already seems like a tamer place. A Lyres show meant witnessing Conolly in full frenzy, swept up in the high-strung psycho…
