"He was a master of 'the mythic forms of loserdom,' as Steely Dan’s Walter Becker once put it, while discussing the song 'Deacon Blues.' If they’d ever made a movie out of 'Deacon Blues,' Gene Hackman would have been perfect for the role." —rob sheffield

Thanks for your life, David Johansen. I wrote my scruffy little heart out about this man. Hearing him sing in the New York Dolls transformed my life in a few crucial and permanent ways. The essence of Good Bad But Not Evil. rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

My rock & roll hero Peter Wolf finally wrote the memoir we all hoped he would write, with his excellent "Waiting on the Moon." We had an epic conversation about his art of storytelling, onstage and on the page. rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

This Doors and Val Kilmer remembrance from ⁦rob sheffield⁩ is the best flashback I’ve had in years. Kilmer ā€œconveys the idea of a man who believes hotness and profundity are the exact same thing. This makes him the perfect Oliver Stone hero.ā€ rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-m…

I wrote about the long history of movies about the Beatles, the new Sam Mendes biopic, and the silver screen's love affair with John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Plus why my favorite film about the Fabs will always be "Two of Us." rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

READ rob sheffield on Craig Finn and weep. ā€œThe fact that these people can get up and move forward and forgive themselves — that’s a hopeful thing. Forgiveness is the most beautiful thing we have. I mean, it’s love, grief, and forgiveness, right?ā€ rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

I can't lie, I LOVED writing this. How Taylor Swift won the fight of her life, and what it means for the music world. She did something bad, and it feels so good. rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

My teenage symphony to Brian Wilson. How lucky we are to live in the world he created in his music, the kind of world where we belong. These songs will live forever, as long as there are stars above you. rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
