My Next Read: “This Is Your Song Too: Phish & Contemporary Jewish Identity” By Oren Kroll-Zeldin & Ariella Werden-Greenfield

Phish has a diehard fan base and a dedicated community of enthusiasts–called Phishheads–who follow the band around the country, some fans attending every show. What may be surprising is that a significant percentage of Phishheads are Jewish.

Two members of the band–bassist Mike Gordon and drummer Jonathan Fishman–were raised in Jewish households, and Phish has been known to play Hebrew songs in concert. At live shows, many attendees, some wearing T-shirts emblazoned with “Phish” written in Hebrew letters, express feeling something special–even distinctly Jewish–during their performances. As this book shows, Phish is one avenue through which many Jews find cultural and spiritual fulfillment outside the confines of traditional and institutional Jewish life. In effect, Phish fandom and the live Phish experience act as a microcosm through which we see American Jewish religious and cultural life manifest in unique and unexpected spaces.

Featuring an interview with Mike Gordon and a collection of fascinating photographs, This Is Your Song Too is an in-depth look at Jewishness in the Phish universe that also provides a deeper understanding of how spirituality, ritual, and identity function in the world of rock and roll.

In addition to the editors, the contributors include Evan S. Benn, Dean Budnick, Jacob A. Cohen, Benjamin David, Jessy Dressin, Josh Fleet, Mike Greenhaus, Joshua S. Ladon, Noah Munro Lehrman, Caroline Rothstein, and Isaac Kandall Slone.

10 Bands Music Fans Hope Will Reunite, Despite The Odds

There’s nothing like the thrill of seeing your favorite band reunite, bringing back the energy, the memories, and the magic that only they can create. We’ve all got that one group we dream about coming together for one more tour, one more album, or even just one more song. Here’s a countdown of the ten band reunions that fans everywhere are still holding out for, proof that some bands are just too legendary to leave behind.

  1. Led Zeppelin – Despite a handful of reunion shows over the years, Led Zeppelin fans have been holding onto hope for a full tour. After that legendary 2007 performance at London’s O2 Arena, we know they’ve still got it. It’s a long shot, but for Led Zep, fans would move heaven and earth to hear “Stairway to Heaven” one more time.
  2. The Smiths – Morrissey and Johnny Marr might not see eye to eye these days, but that doesn’t stop fans from dreaming of The Smiths’ melancholic reunion. The band’s moody, poetic tunes are the soundtrack to so many lives. Every fan knows they’d be there in a heartbeat if Morrissey and Marr ever shared a stage again.
  3. R.E.M. – R.E.M. called it quits amicably in 2011, but fans still miss their melodic rock and Michael Stipe’s haunting voice. Their breakup was one of the most respectful and kind, making a reunion seem possible—even if just for a celebration of the music that left an indelible mark on alternative rock.
  4. ABBA – ABBA made a thrilling return with their 2021 virtual concert Voyage, but fans are still waiting for a true live reunion. Imagine hearing “Dancing Queen” with the original foursome, moving and grooving on stage—now that’s something that would have fans dancing in the aisles worldwide.
  5. Talking Heads – David Byrne’s incredible solo career has only fueled fans’ hunger for a Talking Heads reunion. Their fusion of rock, funk, and avant-garde sounds brought us hits like “Once in a Lifetime.” The unique, experimental spirit of Talking Heads would be a welcomed comeback, if Byrne and the band ever feel the time is right.
  6. Fugees – The reunion tour in 2021 was short-lived, but the world still wants more from Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras. Fugees’ blend of hip-hop, soul, and reggae produced timeless hits, and fans are eager for another chance to experience their groundbreaking sound live.
  7. Pink Floyd – Pink Floyd’s music is the ultimate trip, and though they’ve had select reunions, the full band hasn’t toured together in decades. David Gilmour and Roger Waters’ creative tension was part of the magic, and fans long for the day they might come together, giving us one last sonic journey.
  8. The Police – Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers created music that’s still unmistakably fresh today. Their 2007 reunion tour was epic, but fans are hoping for another go-around from the trio who gave us timeless hits like “Every Breath You Take” and “Roxanne.”
  9. Genesis – Though Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford reunited in 2021, fans still dream of the classic Genesis lineup with Peter Gabriel. The idea of these prog-rock pioneers performing “Supper’s Ready” as they did in the 70s has fans everywhere hoping for that final chapter.
  10. The White Stripes – Jack and Meg White’s minimalist garage rock took the world by storm, and while Jack has gone on to a successful solo career, there’s something irreplaceable about the raw energy of The White Stripes. Fans can only hope they’ll see those red, white, and black aesthetics and hear “Seven Nation Army” shake the stage with its iconic riff one more time.

Will any of these reunions happen? It’s impossible to say. But as long as fans are out there singing along to their favorite songs, there will always be a little piece of hope that these bands just might find their way back to the stage. Here’s to the music that never dies—and to the fans who’ll be waiting in the front row, just in case.

Career-Defining Moments From The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Queen and More

All it takes is one perfect moment, at the right time, to make an artist or band go supersonic. Here are some of the jaw-dropping, heart-thumping, era-defining moments that rocketed legendary rock stars into the halls of fame and into our hearts forever:

  1. The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show (1964): Imagine over 73 million Americans glued to their TVs, mesmerized by four lads from Liverpool, shaking up not just music but an entire generation’s way of life. This wasn’t just a TV appearance; it was the dawn of the British Invasion and the birth of Beatlemania, opening the floodgates for a cultural takeover that would define the 60s.
  2. Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival (1967): Picture Hendrix, a relatively unknown guitarist at the time, lighting his guitar on fire like it was nothing. The crowd was in awe. Hendrix’s fiery performance catapulted him into superstardom, making him the poster child of rock’s rebellious, anything-goes spirit.
  3. Woodstock Festival (1969): Think of the raw energy! Santana, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joe Cocker—all legends in the making—blew minds and made history on this muddy New York farm, forever linking their music to a generation’s dreams, ideals, and, let’s face it, a little bit of hedonism.
  4. Queen at Live Aid (1985): Freddie Mercury had Wembley Stadium—and the entire world—eating out of the palm of his hand. That 20-minute set wasn’t just a performance; it was proof that rock and roll could be transcendent, that Queen was, and always would be, larger than life.
  5. Nirvana’s Nevermind Explosion (1991): Nevermind wasn’t just an album; it was a hand grenade tossed into the glitzy world of rock. Overnight, Nirvana became the voice of a generation that felt forgotten, angry, and ready to change everything. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” took off, and suddenly, grunge was everywhere.
  6. The Rolling Stones at Altamont Free Concert (1969): With violence and tragedy casting a dark shadow over the Altamont Free Concert, the Stones went from being just a rock band to becoming symbols of rock’s dangerous, untamable edge. It’s rock’s wild heart in all its messy, chaotic glory.
  7. Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run Release (1975): This wasn’t just an album; it was a declaration. Bruce’s big sound, big dreams, and big heart captured every soul searching for meaning. Both Time and Newsweek put him on the cover, marking him as rock and roll’s next big thing, and boy, did he live up to it!
  8. Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” Music Video (1983): When the King of Pop dropped Thriller, he changed the music video game forever. Sure, Jackson ruled pop, but “Thriller” took rock’s edginess, mashed it up with his insane dance moves, and raised the bar for every artist out there, proving that a video could be as thrilling as a live show.
  9. Green Day’s American Idiot Release (2004): With American Idiot, Green Day reinvented themselves and showed the world punk could have a message. A full-on punk rock opera for a post-9/11 America, it became an anthem for an entire generation, stirring hearts and raising fists in arenas around the world.
  10. Radiohead’s OK Computer and Kid A Releases (1997, 2000): Radiohead didn’t just put out albums; they redefined what it meant to be a rock band. With OK Computer and Kid A, they took music into uncharted territory, blending rock, electronica, and existential angst, forever altering the soundscape of modern rock.
  11. Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory (2000): A debut album that blasted through genre walls! Hybrid Theory made rock, hip-hop, and electronic fans lose their minds. Linkin Park spoke to everyone who ever felt misunderstood, reaching a global audience and creating a defining sound for the new millennium.
  12. Arctic Monkeys’ Social Media Rise and Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not (2006): Before viral was a thing, Arctic Monkeys were living it. Fans spread their raw, relatable sound on social media, creating a groundswell of support that launched them into stardom. Their debut album became the fastest-selling album in UK history and gave new meaning to what it means to break into rock.

These aren’t just career highlights; these are moments when lightning struck, when rock stars went from musicians to cultural icons. Each of these moments became part of rock’s DNA, forever shaping music and inspiring generations to turn up the volume and live louder.

Ottawa Folk Singer Christophe Elie Paints Harrowing Portrait Of Military Life With Re-Release Of Moving Single “A Soldier’s Face”

With Remembrance Day around the corner, people will wear poppies and reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice. But for Ottawa-based political folksinger Christophe Elie, the annual ceremonies and moments of silence don’t compare to the mental, physical, and emotional turmoil each military person encounters in the line of duty. That cold reality is delicately but directly detailed in Elie’s latest single “A Soldier’s Face,” a terse but tremendous song epitomizing the horrors of war and the psychological scars that run just as deep as physical ones.

Elie says he wrote “A Soldier’s Face” on Remembrance Day (Veterans Day in America), 2013 and it first appeared on his 2016 album Bridging Borders. This latest version is the first time it’s been released digitally across all platforms “in recognition of the veterans living across Turtle Island” and the upcoming day of remembrance.” Elie says the song’s inspiration stemmed from wanting to do more than just attending or watching on television Remembrance Day ceremonies in Ottawa’s War Memorial including witnessing the red poppies placed on cenotaphs, planes flying overhead, cannons, salutes, the trumpeter performing “The Last Post,” and the silence afterwards. ”We should do more than just remember.”

“While it is always a beautiful, melancholic tribute to those lost to war and an important opportunity for veteran families to reflect on lives lost, I always wondered how this day is in support of the ultimate goal, ‘Never again,'” Elie says.

“Of course, we must remember those lives lost and the veterans still alive, who suffer the nightmares, grieve their brothers in arms and relive the carnage they’ve witnessed.

“But I’ve always thought, ‘Why are our veterans suffering, having to fight for mental health services while, at that time (then Canadian Prime Minister) Stephen Harper was shutting down veteran facilities that provided services to these former soldiers?’ We love the ceremony, but don’t want to pay the cost of wars passed.”

“A Soldier’s Face,” written by Elie and co-produced by Elie and Dave Draves,” features Draves providing subtle synthesizer in the background while Elie, on lead vocal and acoustic guitar, sings the gritty but genuine tale of war, bloodshed and being the “messenger of a country’s deadly message.” Elie wrote the song as a poem and then added music as accompaniment, which is the only time he’s used this approach in his rich career. Songs such as the legendary “And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, “Barry McGuire’s “Eve Of Destruction” and Bob Dylan’s “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall, would be fine comparisons to the depth emanating from “A Soldier’s Face.”

Lyrics from “A Soldier’s Face” were included, with Elie’s permission, in a book by American military veteran and photographer Roger Raepple for his 2021 book Remember – A Tribute to Veterans and their Families. Prior to that, the single inspired Elie to stage concerts in 2018 to raise money for the Guitars for Vets program.

“A Soldier’s Face” is the latest from Elie, who cites ’60s political folksingers such as McGuire, Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Phil Ochs as influences. The son of a Haitian-born father who realized the injustices and inequality some faced, Elie would later become part of the group The Source before heading towards a solo career.
The musician, who has performed at the Montreal Folk Festival and various editions of the Folk Alliance International, released his debut album Deepest Shade Of Blue in 2008. His sophomore album Bridging Borders was released in 2016. Earlier in 2024, he released the poignant single “Columbia” concerning the situation in the Middle East, particularly Gaza. And in October, he released “Trump’s Tweets,” a timely single concerning the 2024 American Presidential election.

Now with “A Soldier’s Face” being re-released, Christophe Elie has given fans and listeners a song which should make people remember, support and honor soldiers past and present the other 364 days besides just the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

5 Surprising Facts About Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’

When Beyoncé released Lemonade in 2016, it was quickly realized that this was more just an album, Lemonade was a visceral, genre-blending journey that showcased Beyoncé’s raw emotion, vulnerability, and unyielding strength. As she delved into themes of betrayal, resilience, and Black identity, the album became a defining moment in her career and a cultural milestone with touchtones still being felt today.

  1. It’s a Multimedia Masterpiece Inspired by Personal Pain and Family History
    Lemonade isn’t just an album—it’s a full visual and emotional experience that combines music, visuals, and poetry to illustrate Beyoncé’s journey through betrayal and healing. The album’s title even nods to her grandmother-in-law’s famous saying, “I was served lemons, but I made lemonade,” a metaphor for resilience that was passed down through generations.
  2. The Soundtrack to Lemonade Was Crafted Across Continents
    The album came to life in an unconventional way. Beyoncé and her team set up makeshift studios in various locations, from Los Angeles to Paris. For a month, they transformed hotel rooms into recording spaces, splitting sessions between Beyoncé and Jay-Z as they used their art to work through their marital struggles.
  3. It’s Packed with Powerful Collaborations
    This album brings together an eclectic range of artists, from Kendrick Lamar and Jack White to the Weeknd and James Blake. Each artist added something unique to Lemonade, creating a genre-blending mix of R&B, rock, hip hop, and even country. Sampled tracks from music legends like Isaac Hayes and Andy Williams add even more layers to the album’s emotional depth.
  4. Lemonade Brought Southern Culture and Black History to the Forefront
    Beyond the music, Lemonade is filled with visual and cultural references to Black history and the American South, including Louisiana Creole culture and African spirituality. Beyoncé even reappropriates genres like rock and country—often considered “white” genres—with songs like “Daddy Lessons” and “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” connecting these sounds back to their African American roots.
  5. It’s a Groundbreaking Work of Black Feminism
    Miriam Bale of Billboard called Lemonade “a revolutionary work of Black feminism.” The album and its accompanying film celebrate Black womanhood, featuring successful Black women from various fields and showcasing their resilience. Beyoncé included quotes from Malcolm X and portrayed powerful Black female figures throughout the film, shining a light on their experiences and triumphs.

As Lemonade continues to resonate years after its release, it stands as both a powerful piece of art and a cultural manifesto. Beyoncé didn’t just make an album; she created a multi-dimensional experience that celebrates resilience, love, and the journey of healing.
