There is a certain mythology attached to any Rolling Stones record, and 1978's Some Girls is no exception. This must be due in part to the wild state of the band members' personal lives around the time of the album's creation. As the star of the story, charismatic lead singer Mick Jagger was prancing around New York City and feeding off the outbreak of disco and punk.
Zelda Fitzgerald's life was one of tragedy and defeat. Yet these morbid qualities can often make for inspiring art. Long overshadowed by her more famous and certainly more read husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald nevertheless has a remarkable body of work to her name. Her career as an artist and writer in her own right is the subject of Zelda Fitzgerald: Choreography in Color, a new exhibit at the Johns Hopkins's Evergreen Museum. The exhibit is the result of junior Laura Maria Somenzi's Woodrow Wilson Research project.
It's hard to explain SuperHeavy, the new album released by the group of the same name. The band is a project of Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics) who recruited a quintet of big-name musicians from diverse genres. The result is the "supergroup" SuperHeavy, consisting of Stewart, Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Indian film composer A.R. Rahman, and Bob Marley's son, Damian Marley. Each track on the funky album is something different. Quality also runs the gamut: some songs are excellent while others are uninspired. But even on the lesser tracks they have infectious energy and enthusiasm.
Bruce Springsteen has become such a fixture in the American rock scene that it is hard to imagine the genre without him.
