was enchanted to meet with the one and only @robsheff where we talked for hours about writing, nyc, and of course taylor swift. can’t wait to read his upcoming book! (and maybe see him on the @taylorseminars podcast?!)

I wrote about the long, winding, & weird history of The Beatles' long-lost 1970 doc "Let It Be." So controversial, yet officially buried for decades. Peter Jackson's "Get Back" totally changed how we view this era, so "Let It Be" is getting a second look. rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
I love this album to pieces rollingstone.com/music/music-al…

I'm enchanted to share some great news. I've written a new book called "Heartbreak Is The National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music." It's coming November 12 from @deystreet. Hope you enjoy reading and happy Tortured Poets Eve. Long live. bio.to/HeartbreakIsTh…

My 80s are not quite like yours or @robsheff’s but it is a gas reliving these records, from the one hits to the megastars. “Act your age, mama, not your shoe size.” Fat chance. rollingstone.com/music/music-li…
This week on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs podcast, @ohheybrittany and @robsheff dig into everything that makes @MissyElliott's “Get Ur Freak On” so great. Take a listen: rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…

What music will Beyoncé redefine next? Could Act III be a rap album, a tribute to classic girl groups, or a prog-rock epic? If anyone can pull it off, it’s her. Rolling Stone's staff makes wild predictions about Beyonce's #CowboyCarter follow-up: rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
Unravel the epic tale behind "Hound Dog"! From Big Mama Thornton's groundbreaking hit to Elvis Presley's iconic rendition, join hosts @ohheybrittany, @robsheff & Rolling Stone's senior writer Angie Martoccio as they explore the song's enduring legacy. 🌟 loom.ly/S3dRf_w
Folks, this 500 Greatest Songs podcast from @ohheybrittany and @robsheff is just a delight. Celebrate some great music and also learn what Art Garfunkel and Aaron Neville have in common. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rol…
“Into the Groove” is still the song at the heart of Madonna's lifelong bond with the club scene and the dance community. The latest episode of RS's 500 Greatest Songs podcast looks at how Madonna grabbed the world’s attention. 🔗rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
It’s a stroke of Beyoncé’s revisionary genius that brings the story of “Blackbird” full circle. She claims the song as if Paul McCartney wrote it for her. Because, in so many ways, he did. @robsheff on #COWBOYCARTER's "Blackbiird": rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter,' the second act of the trilogy of albums that began with 'Renaissance,' is a brilliant dissertation on genre, Southern culture, and her own artistic genius. Our review of the LP that refines country music: trib.al/FKinwzc

Movies operate in a maze of borderlines; criticism is a balancing act, trying to suggest perspectives on the emotions viewers feel, trying to increase their enjoyment of movies without insulting their susceptibility to simple, crude pop. (1976)
we are driving home from coachella and i just hijacked the aux and am playing the song from the 1991 sizzler commercial. banger
This is something I never expected. I am overwhelmed that I will be inducted into the @rockhall, especially alongside so many incredible artists who have gone before me. I can’t thank everyone enough for voting for me. You are the best. Somebody pinch me please!!
It truly is. x.com/hogge_fred/sta…
Re-watching Mamma Mia 2 and @holland_tom is right: it is the greatest film of the 21st Century. I have tears pouring down my face, a ridiculous grin, and an increasingly subtle appreciation of mythology.
@ProteinProsecco Cool. Let me see if I have a listless fuck lazing about to give you. No. Not a one. Those checks cashed a couple decades ago.
@jamespanderson @CharlesRense I'm not missing the point. Mainstream journalists live on their names and credibility; to be impersonated online is professionally problematic. And plenty of conservative voices had checks. Sorry if it didn't extend to every shitbag racebaiter with a small following.
@CharlesRense Fuck right off with this emotional nonsense. It said I was me and it said some troll using the name wasn't. That's the only utility that mattered and he fucked that up and made it the opposite. Now he wants to give it back and fuck him. And you for rationalizing this stupidity.
@robsheff Great piece from the always-reliable Rob Sheffield. And weirdly, I was actually able to read the whole thing without getting a blocked paywall! Looking forward to seeing this!
was enchanted to meet with the one and only @robsheff where we talked for hours about writing, nyc, and of course taylor swift. can’t wait to read his upcoming book! (and maybe see him on the @taylorseminars podcast?!)
TOP TEN for sure

@robsheff I remember going through lengths just to watch it in middle school (a choice…), and I am glad it’s resurfacing. Great article! I’m not-so-secretly hoping this means we eventually get all of the Beatles films (Disney+ ain’t ready for Magical Mystery Tour though lol)
@robsheff this Lennon flashback is heartbreaking, hearing he broke down in tears after viewing LIB in an empty SF theater, on the advice of his therapist. Jann Wenner: "I just remember walking out of the theater and all of us in a foursome huddle, hugging, and the sadness of the occasion.”
@robsheff I've seen bootleg copies of this film over the years. It's dreary. I'll be curious to see if the PJ treatment changes my view of the content.
@robsheff Funny, Rob, and no doubt true, but since I and all my 17-year-old Beatle-freak friends saw LET IT BE in 1970 several times, I assumed it was wildly popular and very well attended. BTW, I was given your DREAMING THE BEATLES as a birthday present, and I thought it was wonderful.
@robsheff If only they'd filmed the creation of "Abbey Road" too. Hard to believe those sessions came *after* "Let It Be."
It's really a shame that the first two Imperial Teen records are not available on streaming, I feel like people would appreciate them a lot more today, a lot more space for queer indie rock youtube.com/watch?v=m_UoGG…
