A few years ago, Oliva Rodrigo invited Brandi Carlile out for coffee. They were in Los Angeles at the same time, and Rodrigo wanted to talk to Carlile, who has hosted her own all-woman festival Girls Just Wanna Weekend since 2019, about how she could impact gender equity on lineups and the road. “It was like a blind date,” Carlile tells Rolling Stone, who was moved by Rodrigo’s commitment to debunk the pervasive industry myths that women don’t sell tickets as well as men, shouldn’t be booked back-to-back, and are unable to headline a festival — let alone populate an…
Two men were found guilty on Tuesday of a double murder that rocked the small Caribbean island of Dominica more than three years ago. Businessman Jonathan Lehrer and his employee, mechanic Robert Snyder Jr., were convicted of killing Canadian special effects guru Daniel Langlois and his partner, Dominique Marchand. “After all this time it still makes me sad to think of their passing and the way that they left this earth, because they really didn't deserve that,” local businesswoman Ayeola George tells Rolling Stone through tears. “These are two people who for decades gave so much to Dominicans and introduced…

On the occasion of the release of the new single “Citra Scena”Youssef De Luna shared five songs which, over time, have left a profound mark on his way of living and understanding music. More than simple influences, they are songs that have contributed to shaping his artistic gaze: from the expressive strength of the voice to the search for the right word, from the rebellion born from the rhythm to the acceptance of darkness and the vertigo of absolute love. Five essential listens, accompanied by his comments. 1. David Bowie – Heroes With this song I understood what it means…

Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right to refuse questions from lawmakers, during a high-profile hearing before the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) on Wednesday. Republicans, as they have in the past, were set to grill the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and leader of America’s Covid-19 response on a myriad of conspiratorial claims about the pandemic. In his opening statement, Fauci, who has appeared before multiple congressional bodies in the past, told the committee that given Committee Chair Rand Paul’s “obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution,” the…

S everal years ago, around the time Bernie Sanders' second presidential campaign was gathering force, my friend Ken Baer said something that stuck with me. Baer, a centrist Democrat who served in Barack Obama's budget office, told me I was missing a fundamental shift in the party, which we'd both spent many years thinking and writing about. “It's not a battle between moderates and liberals anymore,” he said. “It's between liberals and socialists.” At the time, this seemed to me a bit dramatic. Sanders defined himself politically as an independent and ideologically as a democratic socialist, rather than as a…
The Beatles grew up Rubber Soul. In the fall of 1965, the Fab Four went into the studio as the world's favorite moptops — but they emerged as bold artists, ready to challenge the world. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr were experimenting with new sounds, weird ideas. They invented the whole idea of the album as we know it today — a full-length statement, rather than a hits collection. “Finally we took over the studio,” as Lennon told Rolling Stone. Rubber Soul shocked the world as soon as it arrived in December 1965. But it's never…
