On this week’s Rock’s Backpages home page, we look back 50 years to the Rolling Stones’ “farewell” tour of Britain – and their move to the South of France as tax exiles. Evocative pieces by Melody Maker’s Michael Watts and Chris Charlesworth are complemented by Geoffrey Cannon’s review of the tour’s final shows at London’s Roundhouse…Also free for a week are three Michael A. Gonzales pieces that touch on the Notorious B.I.G. – “the greatest rapper of all time” and the subject of a new Netflix documentary – and a transcript of a 2015 interview with Bhaskar Menon (1934-2021), the brilliant Indian who was brought in to save Capitol Records in 1971…For RBP subscribers there’s a 2011 audio interview with master guitarist Pat Metheny, who tells Hank Bordowitz about his one-man “Orchestrion” and his new rehearsal space in Brooklyn. Subscribers can also feast on our smorgasbord of 50+ new articles in the RBP Library, including great pieces on:• Chris Farlowe (1965)• Janis Joplin (1969)• Queen (1975)• Bob Marley (1981)• SWV (1993)• Guy Peellaert (2009)• Cat Power (2013)… and (from 2019) Brittany Howard.Did you ever wake up to findA day that broke up your mind?Destroyed your notion of circular time?https://www.rocksbackpages.com -- source link
