Rod Stewart was among the many artists who said their storied music careers flourished with the support of Clive Davis, paying tribute to the beloved music executive after his death Monday aged 94. “I owe Clive so much,” Stewart wrote. “[He was] the force behind J Records, he was the only one who believed a rock singer could sing the standards with conviction. Other labels rejected the idea, and so The Great American Songbook was born, selling close to 40 million copies.” Davis, who served in the top spots of institutional record labels like Sony, Columbia, and Arista, “was a…
Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood has returned to talk about the controversies that accompanied the cancellation of concerts scheduled for 2025 with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa, comparing the boycott of the shows to the removal of books from the shelves. The duo's UK dates were canceled after protests and reports of possible security risks linked to the campaign promoted by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. In a note released at the time, BDS had contested Greenwood's involvement in events held in Israel, accusing him and Tassa of contributing to the cultural promotion of the country during the ongoing conflict in…

In the book of Job, it was written that the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away. So, too, it could be said of Donald Trump, the wannabe-messiah of the conservative movement and the greatest power broker the party has ever known. In Texas, for instance, Trump has taken away a Senate seat from the incumbent John Cornyn and awarded it by way of primary endorsement to the state's sin-plagued Attorney General Ken Paxton. But unlike Job, Cornyn has clearly decided he does not want to suffer in silence and devotion to his vengeful deity. In other words, the…
Carlos Santana remembered Clive Davis as a “visionary” who could “hear the intangible before anyone else could see it” in a tribute to the late music executive. “He believed in Santana from the beginning, and years later he believed in us again,” Santana wrote on Facebook following Davis' death on Monday. “That kind of faith is a beautiful blessing, and I will always be grateful.” Davis signed Santana's eponymous band in the late Sixties as part of his efforts to turn Columbia Records into a powerhouse rock & roll label. Santana enjoyed a wildly successful run under Davis, releasing two…

Rod Stewart experienced a very difficult moment during his concert on Friday night at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater in West Valley City, United States. The 81-year-old Scottish singer appeared in obvious distress while performing “Young Turks”, so much so that he required the intervention of backstage staff. According to videos released online, Stewart repeatedly leaned on the instruments and structures of the stage to maintain his balance. In some videos, the artist is also seen receiving oxygen through a mask before resuming the show. Visibly tired, he then turned to the audience: “The show must continue, I almost…
