It’s ironic that Robbie Robertson was famous mostly for his songwriting, because beneath the minimal, compositional style that marked his work with The Band hid a true guitar stylist and one of the most animalistic in rock history. The man who went from wild guitar solos with Ronnie Hawkins to penning classics like “The Weight” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” passed away August 9 from prostate cancer at the age of 80.

Anna Netrebko’s manager has responded to Peter Gelb’s latest comments regarding the diva in a May 2024 interview with Diapason. In a recent issue with the French magazine, Miguel Esteban, Netrebko’s manager said, “Peter Gelb insinuates that he has private information, but in reality, Anna Netrebko’s opinion on Putin and the war in Ukraine is public. In her March 30, 2022 statement, Anna Netrebko clarified that she was at arm’s length from Putin or the Russian government. She declared her opposition to the war on February 26, 2022, two days after the start of the conflict, and again on March 1 and 30, 2022. Anna Netrebko has stated that she loves her home country (even though she kept her word and has not set foot there since February 2022) but she has never used the words that Peter Gelb attributes to her (“I support my country.”).”

As drug use became more prevalent in the 1960s, pop music reflected the times. Songs that glamorized getting high flooded the airwaves. The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” and “Purple Haze” by the Jimi Hendrix Experience had some of the more obvious references to drugs; others, like the Association’s “Along Comes Mary,” were more oblique.
