Apple

New music from Beatles, Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Roger Waters, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Chip Taylor and Zombies isn’t bad. But also isn’t good. Is it relevant? Is it more than just a reminiscent to old time? And is old time hiding a secret that can’t ever be recovered? New music from veterans is bringing more questions than answers. It would be a pity to ignore it. But it’s also not easy to be too serious about it.
