Saturday night Coachella festival headliner Lady Gaga took the stage at 11:29 in a black police hat and leather trench coat and opened with Schiebe off her Born This Way album.
She immediately followed it with LoveGame, during which she ditched the hat and jacket and encouraged the crowd to sing along.

For years, for decades, Prince was the pop artist I thought about the most and listened to the most. I have thousands of memories associated with his music, thousands of theories, thousands of feelings. When he died last April, those Prince-based emotions suddenly increased in weight. It was painful to keep them in my mind. So I wrote a book—“Dig If You Will the Picture”—that was a passion project, a book whose velocity was intended to speed me away from the grief I felt at Prince’s death.

Before she could get down to the business of working on a record, singer-guitarist Lindsay Ell was given an odd assignment and a set of rules by her new producer, Kristian Bush. The Sugarland co-founder instructed the Alberta, Canada, native to isolate herself and re-record her favorite album on her own, as an exercise in understanding how the songs work and what elements she preferred to hear in a production.

I love bitches. Or, rather, I love the women in film that we have come to call bitches; unrepentant, confident, cunning women. We call them bitches because that’s our word for when a female character behaves anywhere near as badly as the men on screen who have sex and murder and act without emotion—the men we often call anti-heroes.

I wish you could’ve heard my reaction when my friend Sheva first told me last year that Pamela Des Barres was teaching a writing class in New York City for two consecutive nights. “Miss P,” as Mick Jagger called her back in the day, was an icon of mine since the 1960s when she was a member of the all-girl LA-based rock band The GTO’s (Girls Together Outrageously).
