There are artists who try to hide their influences and others who declare them openly. Neil Young chose a third path: building an entire song on someone else's melody and making it the symbol of his own creative and personal collapse. It happened in “Borrowed Tune”, one of the most intimate and devastating songs on “Tonight's The Night” (1975), the album born as a reaction to the death of two fundamental people in Young's life: guitarist Danny Whitten, member of Crazy Horse, and roadie Bruce Berry, both victims of overdoses. The disc of pain The entire “Tonight's The Night” is…

Their recent tour, the band's first in 20 years, saw them light up a multigenerational audience of young olds and old youngs. Their standing isn't only based on nostalgia either: Though the last Strokes album, 2020's The New Abnormal, got a little lost in the Covid malaise, its standout hit, “The Adults Are Talking,” has as many Spotify streams as “Last Nite.” Meanwhile, the biggest indie band around,…
