In an interview with music producer Danny Bennett in David Tedeschi’s documentary “Beatles ’64,” we see that the Beatles have always been a marketing juggernaut. Bennett shows us Beatles nylons, a Beatles dress, Beatles sneakers, and perhaps the most bizarre item upon which to slap the Fab Four’s faces, Beatles talcum powder.

While it’s easy to be cynical about “Beatles ’64” as just another thing to sell that repackages the iconic group, it’s important to remember that just because there are a lot of Beatles products, that doesn’t mean all products are created equal or that they instantly cheapen the band’s music.

Thankfully, “Beatles ’64” is far more worthwhile than Beatles talcum powder.

Working off footage shot by legendary documentarians Albert and David Maysles, “Beatles ’64” focuses on the Beatles’ first trip to America in February 1964. That two-week tour included the group’s unforgettable debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show,...

It's Sports Night on tomorrow's edition of The Masked Singer, with guests Joel McHale and Nikki Glaser on hand as ringside announcers for a makeshift boxing match. In Fox's preview clip, McHale brays, “It’s a great day to play a guessing game!”

“Oh yes,” agrees Glaser. “And look — the fight is about to start!”

Robin Thicke and Rita Ora dance into the ring wearing silk boxing robes, raring to kick off the show with corner help from Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg. Thicke bites his lip and strokes his air guitar before breaking into a rousing version of… “Rock You Like A Hurricane”? Really?

Over 40 years after his tragic death on December 8, 1980, John Lennon‘s music, both with The Beatles and in his solo career, is fondly remembered by fans who were there at the time and has gained admiration with every new generation that has come along. In addition, Lennon’s writing and particularly his vocals have been held in high esteem by music critics around the world for decades.

The Oscar and Grammy winner’s contribution to the band shifted as the band passed from genre to genre — from pop idols to sound experimenters to psychedelia and finally to political activism — and he adapted his vocals to meet each of those needs. From his joyous vocals on “A Hard Day’s Night” to his slightly-high work on “Strawberry Fields Forever” to the rollicking “Twist and Shout,” Lennon’s range with the band was remarkable.

Please keep in mind that the list below is...

Just days after Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band delivered an instantly classic set in Asbury Park, New Jersey for the Sea.Hear.Now Festival, the performance has been released as a live album, available on CD and streaming via the live music platform nugs.net.

The set, which take place on September 15th, was a homecoming of sorts for Springsteen and the E Street Band, who first got their start gigging around the Asbury Park area. Among its 30-song setlist were hits like “Dancing in the Dark” and “Born to Run,” plus bust-outs, like the tour premieres of “Blinded by the Light,” “Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?”, “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy),” and more.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band gave Asbury Park, New Jersey a show to remember with an epic headlining set at Sea.Hear.Now festival on Sunday night.

The show was a homecoming for Springsteen and the band, who got their start playing gigs in and around Asbury Park in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Appropriately, the first half of the Sea.Hear.Now setlist leaned heavily into material from Springsteen’s debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., as well as other Jersey-centric songs. Notably, Springsteen performed tracks like “Blinded by the Light,” “Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?,” “Thundercrack,” and “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)” for the first time in nearly a decade.

Six decades ago, we were in the throes of Beatlemania. The Fab Four scored their first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart “I Want to Hold Your Hand” on Feb. 1. And the U.S. got to meet The Beatles, four lads from Liverpool when they invaded the U.S. that month making three historic appearances on CBS’ “The Ed Sullivan Show.” They were met with the screams of young girls with burgeoning hormones. By April 4, they had the top five singles on the chart: “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Twist and Shout,” “She Loves You,” “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “Please Please Me.”

Despite their extraordinary success, hopes weren’t high for their first film, “A Hard Day’s Night,” which opened in the U.S. on Aug. 11. Most films starring a group or singer du jour were horrible. So much so, the New York Times’ Bosley Crowther was in...

True Detective fans were divided over Issa Lpez' conceptual approach towards Night Country. The showrunner took criticisms in stride and shared her straightforward method of dealing with haters.

True Detective: Night Country showrunner Issa Lpez expounded on her inspiration for the season in an interview with Variety. She said author Arthur Conan Doyle was her guide and actor Jodie Foster was her muse while writing the story. Recalling the moment she was asked to helm Season 4 of the HBO series, she noted the first season was the reason she said yes to the offer. Lpez confirmed she had the setting and protagonists of the season decided in her early pitch to executives, who in turn were impressed by the concept.

A bar, just like a stage, can be a sanctuary. A refuge where comfort comes from the familiar. Bruce Springsteen, Stone Pony regular. A moniker first stamped in the mid-Seventies, waltzing across the dance floor and belting out “Havin’ a Party” with Stevie and Southside. By the early Eighties, with his fame soaring after The River and into Born in the USA, Springsteen’s reputation as a Pony regular became national news.

True Detective season 4 blurs the lines between the supernatural and material world, while delving into the personal demons of hardened detectives. The talented cast, including Jodie Foster, lends depth to the gripping narrative and well-written character beats. The show's soundtrack further enhances the chilling atmosphere and thrills of its crime drama.

Other than walking through a compelling mystery drama that unfolds in a small Alaskan city, True Detective: Night Country also features scintillating tracks that perfectly complement its pivotal moments. Like every new season in the True Detective series, season 4 introduces a whole new roster of characters and a self-contained storyline. At the same time, it also draws several subtle references to True Detective season 1, hinting that it unfolds in the same universe where Rust and Marty had once teamed up.

There have already been several high points on Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2024 tour, and Sunday night’s show in Columbus, Ohio, provided another one.

The Boss and co. turned in an epic three-hour, 30-song set that saw “Youngstown,” “Streets of Fire,” and “I’m Goin’ Down” all performed live for the first time since at least 2017. The choice to kick off the show with “Youngstown” was especially appropriate as it was written about Youngstown, Ohio, located just two-and-half hours away from Columbus. Meanwhile, “Streets of Fire” has only been performed by Springsteen 23 times since 1978, and not since 2017.

The setlist also included “Racing in the Street,” which was played thanks to a sign request. Springsteen and the E Street Band wrapped the show with an epic nine-song run that included (in order): “The Rising,” “Badlands,” “Thunder Road,” “Born to Run,” “Rosalita,...

If you needed any proof that Bruce Springsteen is fully recovered from health ailments that derailed his 2023 tour (some of which may or may not have been the result of Larry David), look no further than the performance he and the E Street Band turned in at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California on Thursday night.

The show ran a grand total of three hours and 18 minutes and featured a sprawling 32-song setlist including several tracks that hadn’t been played live in close to a decade. What’s more, Springsteen’s wife, Patti Scialfa, made her first appearance on the 2024 leg of the tour, joining her husband for performances of “Tougher Than the Rest” and “Fire.”

The setlist also included several notable covers, including John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom,” which opened the show; Jimmy Cliff’s “Trapped”; the traditional Cajun waltz “Jole Bloon...

Three hours into Bruce Springsteen’s epic return to Los Angeles on Thursday night with the E Street Band, he stared down the sold-out crowd at the Forum. “Do you have anything left?” he shouted, midway through “Twist and Shout,” the second-to-last song of his first L.A. show in eight years. Five decades in, the magic of a Springsteen show remains: He always seems to have a little bit left in the tank.

Six months after Bruce Springsteen suspended his world tour so he could recover from a painful peptic ulcer, he was back onstage with the E Street Band Tuesday night in Phoenix, for the first gig of the year. And while the setlist was largely the same as the one he delivered nightly in 2023, he did make some minor alterations, and create space for further additions as the year progresses.

The majority of last year’s concerts kicked off with “No Surrender,” but it loosened up during the stadium portion at...

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off their 2024 tour with a blazing 29-song performance at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday night. It marked the band’s first performance since Springsteen was forced to postpone the remainder of the band’s 2023 tour due to a bout with peptic ulcer disease.

Thankfully, The Boss now appears to be fully recovered. The 29-song set stuck closely to the epic shows Springsteen played towards the end of his 2023 run, including performances of “Night,” “Darlington County,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “Spirit in the Night,” “Mary’s Place,” and “Backstreets.” Once again, the encore proved particularly stellar, featuring “Born To Run,” “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight),” “Glory Days,” “Dancing in the Dark,” and “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.”

Quick Links 'Twist and Shout' Describes the Victims' Deaths in Night Country 'Twist and Shout' Is Grounded in Grief in Night Country 'Twist and Shout' Is Tied to The Loss of Innocence

The following article contains spoilers for True Detective: Night Country Episode 6, "Part 6," which aired Feb. 18 on HBO. It also includes a mention of suicide.

One of the most engaging elements of True Detective: Night Country is how much symbolism the show uses. Cryptic clues are tied together across each episode -- some obvious, and others not as much. Some of these symbols have hidden, subtle meanings, while others are just random. It adds to the mystique and guessing game of the franchise.

Meticulous True Detective fans may have noticed the repetition of a particular song: The Beatles' "Twist and Shout." While it might be that showrunner, Issa López, was just blending it into a series...

The cover of "Save Tonight" in True Detective: Night Country reflects the dark and uncertain tone of the show's finale. The lyrics of "Save Tonight" hold significance to the theme and plot, hinting at potential danger and a character's demise. The song choice has resulted in a divisive response, with some praising its connection to the plot while others consider it on-the-nose and laughably bad.

This article contains spoilers for True Detective: Night Country Part 5. An ominous and creepy cover of Eagle-Eye Cherry's "Save Tonight" played over the end of True Detective: Night Country Part 5, setting up a very unsettling tone heading into the finale next week. After Chief Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Trooper Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) conspire with Pete Prior to cover up the murder of Hank Prior, the two detectives set out for the mines where Annie was last seen in search of more evidence about her killer.

The Beatles made their first of three appearances on CBS’ “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Feb 9, 1964. Sullivan knew he had a really big “shew” that night, telling the audience mainly of teeny-boppers and teenage girls that “our theater’s been jammed with newspapermen and hundreds of photographers from all over the world. And these veterans agree with me that the city never has witnessed the excitement stirred by these youngsters from Liverpool…Now tonight you’re going to be twice entertained by them…Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatles.”

Their fans screamed, cried and grabbed their hair when John, Paul, George and Ringo performed “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You” and “She Loves You.” They came back 35 minutes later in the show to sing “I Saw Her Standing There” and their No. 1 hit “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The ratings for the episode scored to 23.24 million households. Beatlemania was sweeping America before Feb.

Warning! Contains major spoilers for True Detective season 4.

Recurring scenes of Holden and a polar bear symbolize Liz Danvers' grief and emotional connection to her son in True Detective: Night Country. Liz's subconscious guilt and feelings of inadequacy towards her son's death are represented by the one-eyed polar bear in the show. The polar bear's appearance also symbolizes Liz's journey towards healing from trauma, guilt, and grief in True Detective: Night Country.

Recurring scenes of Holden and a one-eyed polar bear in True Detective: Night Country make it hard not to wonder what they symbolize in Liz Danvers' overarching storyline. Like all the previous installments of the True Detective series, season 4 initially hooks viewers by introducing a gripping murder mystery and two hardened cop characters. The more the season progresses, the more personal the murder mystery becomes for the two characters because it somehow ties into their past and unveils their long-buried traumas.

Issa López's "True Detective: Night Country," the fourth season of the pulp crime series created by Nic Pizzolatto, kicks off with one heck of a hook. Scientists holed up at the Tsalal Research Station on the outskirts of Ennis, Alaska (which is itself on the outskirts of civilization in the sparsely populated state) are winding down after a long day of doing ... well, whatever it is they do up there (the first episode does not make this clear). They're doing laundry, making dinner, settling in for a movie ("Ferris Bueller's Day Off") with a bowl of microwave popcorn, and evidently content to be where they are.

And then, in an instant, they're not there anymore.

A delivery man who shows up with supplies, expecting help in unloading his truck, wanders through the station seemingly seconds after the sequence we've just observed (Matthew Broderick is still rocking out to The...

Warning! Contains major spoilers for True Detective season 4's episode 1.

True Detective season 4's episode 1 introduces mysteries and questions that parallel season 1, setting the stage for an exciting overarching mystery. The reaction of the deer in the opening scene foreshadows the terrified reaction of the researchers, implying they saw something horrifying. The Beatles' song "Twist and Shout" triggers a traumatic memory for Danvers, potentially related to a drunk-driving accident, adding depth to her character.

True Detective season 4's episode 1 kicks off on an exciting note, introducing mysteries and questions that are both novel and familiar because of their hinted parallels with season 1. Set in Ennis, Alaska, the fourth installment of the acclaimed HBO TV series introduces Jodi Foster's character, Liz Danvers, as its central detective. Continuing the series' trend of introducing two primary detective characters in each season, the show also brings in Kali Reis as Evangeline Navarro, whose...

Rudolph Isley, a founding member of the musical group, the Isley Brothers, has died at age 84.

“There are no words to express my feelings and the love I have for my brother. Our family will miss him. But I know he’s in a better place,” said Ronald Isley in a statement.

Rudolph first started singing in church with his brothers Ronald and O’Kelly Isley. He was just a teenager when the group’s hit song, “Shout,” debuted in the 1950s.

The brothers then released “Twist and Shout” in the 1960s, which the Beatles used as the closing song on their debut album.

Other popular Isley Brothers songs include “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You),” “It’s Your Thing” and “Fight the Power (Part 1).”

Rudolph eventually left the group in 1989 after O’Kelly’s death. He became a Christian minister and was inducted into the Rock and...

Rudolph Isley, a founding member of the Grammy-winning Isley Brothers who helped create some of the most memorable songs in American musical history, has died. His brother Ron confirmed the news to Deadline. Rudolph Isley was 84.

In a statement provided to Deadline, Ron Isley said of his brother’s passing, “There are no words to express my feelings and the love I have for my brother. Our family will miss him. But I know he’s in a better place.”

The Isley Brothers have had various lineups through the years, but Rudy was with the band from its beginnings in the late 1950s to his retirement from music in 1989, when he took up a Christian ministry. During that time, they recorded such classics as “Shout,” cowritten by Rudy, which in 1959 became their first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The record sold over a million copies. The group went...

Singer Rudolph Isley, best known as one of the founding members of The Isley Brothers, has died at 84 years old.

Per TMZ, Isley passed away in Illinois on Wednesday, October 11th. Isley’s attorney Brian D. Caplan confirmed the news to Pitchfork and shared a statement from Isley’s daughter: “Rudolph Isley, a founding member of the world famous Isley Brothers, died peacefully in his sleep on the morning of October 11, 2023. He died at his home, with his devoted wife Elaine by his side. They had been married for 68 years. Rudolph was a deeply religious man who loved Jesus.”

No cause of death has been revealed at this time.

Born April 1st, 1939 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Rudolph Bernard Isley grew up singing in the church. In the mid-1950s, he co-founded The Isley Brothers with his siblings Ronald, Vernon, and O’Kelly.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Life comes at us pretty fast, so why not stop and watch “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?” Perfect for anyone heading back...

Where to Watch Powered by The timeline of Ferris Bueller's Day Off is unclear due to the incorporation of real events, but possible dates include June 5, 1985, September 21, 1985, and September 24, 1985. June 5, 1985 is a contender because it aligns with the baseball game scene, but discrepancies in the footage make it less likely. September 21, 1985 is also a strong possibility due to the Von Steuben Parade scene and the filming date, which matches the festival's date.

Among the most iconic coming-of-age films in the 1980s, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is at the top of the list for its fun concept and many memorable moments, however what day did the snarky titular character actually take off from school? Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a John Hughes film, first released in 1986 and starring Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, and Mia Sara. The film follows Ferris, a rebellious young man that feigns being sick, so he can ditch...

Los Angeles, June 29 (Ians) Rock music legend Bruce Springsteen is returning to London’s Hyde Park — where he was famously cut off 11 years ago — in July.

But this time, the organisers said, ‘The Boss’ will not be silenced. Bruce is going to take stage earlier, at around 7 p.m., so his ‘notoriously’ long set won’t run over and fall foul of the 10.30 p.m. curfew dedaline, reports ‘The Mirror’.

A source said the scheduling would ensure that the icon gets to play all his hits with no interruption when he takes to the stage next on July 6 and July 8.

The source told ‘The Mirror’, “Fans needn’t worry… There will be plenty of time to hear what will be two historic sets.”

It's time to reflect on all the highs and lows of Station 19.

For the most part, Station 19 Season 6 was an incredibly strong season with some solid storylines and developments for many characters.

But that's not to say it was without flaws and confounding moments.

Did it make the grade? We break down the season to determine just that, including the Best and Worst episodes, the best performances, the most improved character, and much more.

Station 19 Season 6 Episode 15 - What Are You Willing to Lose?

The back half of the season was much stronger than the first, and What Are You Willing to Lose was evidence of this.

With a 4.8 score on our part, this particular installment was a standout because there was a lot of forward movement for many of the characters.

The controversy with Ross and Sullivan came to a head,...

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" remains the quintessential '80s story of teenage suburban revolt almost forty years after it was released. Matthew Broderick had already appeared on Broadway and made his big screen debut with "War Games" and the criminally under-seen medieval fantasy romance "Ladyhawke." But it was his role as a dashing high school rebel that sent his career into the stratosphere. 

With all the natural charisma Broderick gave Ferris, it seemed perfectly reasonable that his character would be able to stay home, play sick, and skip school while still being the perfect son and the most popular kid in high school. Ferris made kids everywhere think they could do anything -- even jump on board a parade float lip-synching "Twist and Shout" in front of a roaring crowd. Everyone wanted to either be Ferris or be around him, and Broderick was electric in the part. 

It was a different story,...

It’s 10pm on Monday 11 February 1963, and as the Abbey Road clock ticks down the final minutes of an exhausting 12-hour session, John Lennon strips to the waist, doses up on Zubes throat lozenges and throws himself into one final death-or-glory charge into rock’n’roll history.

“The last song nearly killed me,” he’d say later, recalling that last-minute take of “Twist and Shout”, which The Beatles managed to squeeze into the closing seconds of the one-day recording session for their debut album Please Please Me. A second take was abandoned as Lennon’s voice gave out altogether after a full day of howling and harmonising, powering through on throat sweets, milk and the ferocious Hamburg spirit that had seen them through countless late-night rock’n’roll marathons at the Kaiserkeller. “My voice wasn’t the same for a long time after,” he said. “Every time I swallowed it was like sandpaper.

People often talk about second album syndrome, and the pressures that follow a great first record. Often it can overshadow conversation around the debut itself: “Brilliant album… shame about the second one.”

But while it’s true that many an artist has struggled to meet expectations after a triumphant beginning, it shouldn’t take away from the achievements made on those first records. They serve as statements of intent and have the power to change or reshape the industry, inspire fellow musicians, and drive essential conversation about our understanding of music.

Whether it’s the rock on The Strokes’ much-hyped 2001 album Is This It or the rap prowess of Notorious Big on Ready to Die, introducing a genre to the rest of the world via Daft Punk’s Homework or creating a new one entirely with Black Sabbath – debut albums can take a previously unknown artist and lift them up to global adulation.

The Day The Earth Stood Still...

In our new series, we look at eight cities where live music has exploded — from legendary hubs like New Orleans and Nashville and Chicago, to rising hot spots like Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Portland, Maine. The first city we’re spotlighting: Denver, where nearby Red Rocks is only the beginning of the rising music destination.

Perhaps no performer has embodied Denver’s past decade more than native Nathaniel Rateliff; at its start, he was playing in a basement bar to 25 people; by its end, he had sold out multi-night stints at Red Rocks.

She’ll depict a suited John Lennon in black and white singing “Twist and Shout” from the band’s performance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, followed by a clip of “A Hard Day’s Night” with “Sorry Girls, He’S Married!” across the screen. “A lot of kids on TikTok kids are like,...
