Rolling Stone 2023

Meet FIZZ, the indie pop supergroup discovering life’s secrets

Fun and friendship form the cornerstone of the debut album from Orla Gartland, dodie, Greta Isaac and Martin Luke Brown.

What do you do when you can feel the machinations of the music industry wearing you down? It’s a question that the four members of FIZZ found themselves asking themselves, and each other, as each struggled with the day-to-day grind of keeping their heads above water as solo artists. It wasn’t a feeing born out of a lack of individual success, either, something that each of them have tasted; in 2021, dodie’s debut album went to number three on the UK charts, after a rise to prominence on YouTube that saw her rack up hundreds of millions of views. Orla Gartland’s first album, also released two years ago, made the top ten, too, and met with rave reviews.

Greta Isaac and Martin Luke Brown, meanwhile, have made their own solo waves, the former with a searingly experimental blend of folk and pop and the latter as a singer-songwriter who trades in witty, thoughtful confessionals. Back in June, the four of them revealed themselves to comprise FIZZ, after having initially shrouded their identity in mystery. Their debut album, The Secret to Life, is their answer to the conundrum of how to preserve passion for making art in an unforgiving climate; as they explained to us, the key is to have a laugh with your mates.

Would it have been possible to make a record like this if you weren’t all such good friends to begin with?

Orla Gartland: I think so. We’ve known each other for eight, nine, ten years, and collaborated in different ways; backing vocals on each other’s songs, and I’ve played in dodie’s live band. So, there’s a bedrock there that has helped us fast-track so much of this band. There’s a deep knowing of each other, collectively and individually, and I think the band wouldn’t have come together so quickly without that.

dodie:After lockdown, Greta and Martin moved into this flat with me, and Orla lives just down the road, so we found ourselves hanging out a lot more, and eventually we ended up going out to this studio called Middle Farm in South Devon, where Orla was doing live sessions for her album. It’s run by this production wizard called Pete Miles, who very much encourages people to be themselves musically, and in their lives too. We all worked together there and it felt amazing, like a little taste of escape. It does feel as if the band was destined to be.

Had you all reached a point with your own careers where it felt as if there was something you wanted to escape from? 

Martin Luke Brown: 100%, yeah. We made the record over two separate weeks at Middle Farm, the first one being in December of 2021, and I remember saying just before we headed down there the first time, I just wanted a holiday from the reality of what its is to be a musician. It had become very jobbing for me. I love music so, so much, and it’s such a big, expansive thing, but you create your own box to live in and it felt like such a shame that I was stuck in such a narrow little lane. I think we all felt that way a little bit, and there was this unspoken thing of us all wanting to invert how we’d been doing things for the last ten years, and just go back to being 12-year-olds in the garage, hashing it out and having a laugh. And that’s exactly what happened. If anything, it’s gotten a bit out of hand! We weren’t expecting to sign a record deal. 

dodie: We’re all very proud of what we’ve done, but I think we wanted to break free from the shackles of what’s expected from us and, also, the pressure we put on ourselves, as well. It was a chance to get away from our own egos and get together as friends, with no expectations.

Greta Isaac: And Middle Farm is a very egoless place; you change your own bedsheets, you cook your own food, you sit around the dinner table every night whether you feel like it or not, and you discuss how you’re feeling. It’s not a results-oriented place at all. Pete is about setting things up as a bit of a playground for you to experiment and then capturing it on tape. That was so refreshing to us coming from London, where it feels like a bit of a treadmill, where you find yourself hunched over a laptop agonising over snare sounds.

Was it important to feel like you could play around with ideas and just follow your noses creatively? 

Brown: I know I can be guilty, with my own stuff, of starting out with something amazing and then agonising over it, relentlessly trying to improve on it and perfect it, and all I end up doing is sucking the soul out of it. We were really firm on not allowing that to happen, and letting this be whatever it is. 

Isaac: What I found very quickly making this album is that between our friendship and our musical ability, that was enough. It didn’t need to be overthought or analysed; it was a bit like a dream, going in, coming out and only realising what we had once we were finished. 

Gartland: It took me until after we’d put twelve songs on a playlist for me to make sense of what we’d made, because it all happened so fast. We didn’t allow ourselves to mess with it after a certain point for the good of the music, which is nice, because now it’s like a time capsule of that moment in our lives.

Brown: I like the idea that it’s going to bring back a load of memories, listening to it when we’re 50 or 60 years old. That’s what we’ll focus on then, not whether the snare sound is exactly right or whether we made a mistake somewhere.

When you were thinking about musical references for the record, was a sense of fun the most important thing? 

Isaac: I think the album speaks to what we were craving, not only in our own projects but in music in general. There’s a theatricality to it that goes back tot the seventies and eighties, referencing bands like Queen and Jellyfish, like a high camp to it. That’s something The Last Dinner Party do really well, too, to have this kind of uncompromising grandeur in the way they present music to people. That’s really rare these days. 

Brown: It doesn’t feel very Brit, does it? It feels like in this country you have to be very self-effacing, and take up as little room as possible, and be humble and say, “here’s my silly little songs”. Whereas there’s tracks on this album with five key changes! 

Gartland: It’s not an album that apologises for itself in any way. That comes from the group mentality where, in our own projects, we might be a little bit more timid but, when there’s safety in number, why not make the songs the loudest, most arrogant versions of themselves? 

dodie: And that’s being reflected in the way that we’re presenting it now, visually, which is just uncompromisingly loud. I love when people are proud of the work that they make and don’t apologise for it.

Picture: Karina Barberis  @annalisakarina

There’s a real mix of songs that are lyrically playful on the record – like ‘Rocket League’ – and tracks that are more thoughtful and vulnerable. How do you go about balancing that?

Brown: Me and Gret have got probably fifty voice notes of songs like ‘Rocket League’. We could have a whole album full of one-minute songs about everyday nonsense. That one started out as the others just having a laugh about me playing Rocket League all the time, and it’s not something I would ever have made into a song myself, but it’s so ridiculous and silly and it encapsulates what we’re about quite nicely. 

dodie: The beauty of it being an escape for us is that we didn’t want the album to be too careful or considered; it was just supposed to be about exploring our friendship. And ironically, that’s what’s ended up being the overarching theme, which is that the secret to life is experiencing all that life has to offer with your friends by your side. 

Isaac: I feel like only ten years’ worth of friendship can allow for that spectrum of pure, unadulterated silliness, from being goofy to transitioning to more sincere songs like ‘Close One’, ‘As Good As It Gets’ and ‘You, Me, Lonely’, that comes from feeling safe enough to be vulnerable, among people who feel like your family. That was really true at Middle Farm. We’d be crying one minute and cackling with laughter the next.

How does it feel to be finally playing these songs live after sitting on them for a while? 

Isaac: We’re all huge fans of each other, but I think when you get to know people so intimately, when you’re having breakfast together every day, or going out for a walk and getting coffee, or having an argument about something – all these everyday things – it’s really easy to forget how talented everybody is. I look over at Orla fucking shredding on the guitar and think, “oh my god! I forgot you play guitar. You were in my flat three hours ago.”

Gartland: There’s something really special about that; just looking around you and being proud of your mates.

Secret to Life is available on September 15 via Decca. FIZZ play eight UK dates from September 29

This will probably be more of a gasteoparesis-related question than a feeding tube one, my bad, but how did you know it was time for a tube? What was it like in the lead-up to that point, assuming it wasn't sudden? How did it get on your radar, or your doctors' radars?

That’s okay! It’s still relevant for Feeding Tube Awareness Week and honestly I’ll always take the opportunity to talk about gastroparesis or feeding tubes

It wasn’t sudden, but it also was like a stone rolling downhill, where it picks up speed to the point where you can’t get ahead of it.

I always had gastric issues with vomiting being predominant, but was misdiagnosed for a long time before being correctly diagnosed with gastroparesis.

I had a flare start up in Aug 2022 that lasted til early Nov 2022 when I was finally diagnosed with gastroparesis during a hospitalization.

I immediately started the gastroparesis diet and Reglan in multiple forms, which failed. Then I tried erythromycin, which also failed, and then I got covid and I stopped being able to tolerate liquid food at the beginning of December 2022. I could not hold down any food, even something as simple as ensure clear and had no nutrition from the beginning of December until I started feeding through my tube in the beginning of January 2023. In total I was in a calorie deficit for about 5 months.

I worked with a dietitian who was familiar with gastroparesis, a gastroenterologist PA and overseeing MD that all agreed to move to a feeding tube, but the bureaucracy of insurance and waiting for my order to move through the system as an outpatient procedure around Xmas caused me to get critically ill and I was hospitalized with starvation ketoacidosis, and my tube was placed two days later. (Long time mutual remember) it was so bad I went into starvation ketoacidosis.

In between all of this were many ER visits and hospitalizations, all of this long winded story is to say that it should NOT get this far. You should have nutritional interventions way before this point.

Unfortunately I hear a lot of stories like this in the gastroparesis community, or others where they are barred from getting a tube because they’re not “bad enough” or they aren’t under a certain BMI/weight so I like to share my story and give out this resource:

American College of Gastroenterology 2022 Clinical Guideline for Gastroparesis

And specifically this treatment algorithm to present to your doctor

To discuss treatment options if you think you’re at a point where you need nutrition support.

Other sources say a weight loss of over 5-10% of your weight involuntarily in the last 6 months and an inability to orally maintain nutrition in combination with the above.

TL;DR I tried multiple forms of treatment with a combination of medications and followed the pictured algorithm above all the way to the bottom but then I got really really sick and almost died

Advocate for yourself Happy Feeding Tube Awareness Week!

Just another reminder about being cautious in relying on sites like Variety or Deadline concerning the strikes.

At this point, Variety and Deadline especially are being used as a controlled faucet for planned AMPTP "leaks." They're literally used as tools of the AMPTP. This isn't the only situation or instance of biases in entertainment news media (or news media in general. News media is biased, it comes with the territory. There's also entire journalism classes on the subject). Or the only instance I know of where entertainment media is used as a "leak" mouthpiece for an agenda. But the strike "reporting" has made it very loud and even more obvious.

For context, let's go back to September 2020. Penske Media, which owns a bunch of stuff, went into a joint venture with MRC, which owns a bunch of stuff. Including Dick Clark Productions, a member of the AMPTP. They make TV shows. PMRC therefore has financial interests in entertainment media sites and a TV production company.

Penske Media Corporation (PMC) has joined forces with MRC to bring together entertainment magazines including Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, as well as create a new partnership for film and television content.

In joint statements released Wednesday, the companies announced they’ll each have stakes in two new joint ventures to manage the suite of influential industry titles. One entity, PMRC, will house publishing outlets of both companies, bringing together Billboard, Rolling Stone, Vibe, Deadline, IndieWire and WWD along with Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, and be managed by PMC. Another joint venture managed by MRC — producer of film and TV including Netflix drama “Ozark,” Hulu documentary “Fyre Fraud,” Lionsgate feature “Knives Out” and the Golden Globe Awards (via its Dick Clark Productions division) — will be tasked with creating intellectual property from across the publications for new TV, film and live events. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.

When the WGA and AMPTP went back into negotiations, there was supposed to be a media blackout.

Instead, last night, websites like Variety and Deadline ran articles with "leaks" about how the talks were going. The leakers being the AMPTP as a way to try to control the narrative, mislead the public in the PR war, and cause discouragement or division within the WGA, and make the AMPTP look like they're being so amazingly generous when they're still giving the WGA almost nothing.

Some tweets from WGA members:

[ @Gennefer

I guess the AMPTP’s new PR firm went with the “planned leak during a media blackout to appear magnanimous in their counter offer so the WGA will seem unreasonable if they reject it” strategy.

Quote Variety Aug 14

Oasis Reunion Speculation 2011 vs 2023

2011 was a busy year on the Oasis reunion rumours front although extracts from various articles show how wide the gulf was between the brothers. What's fascinating is how Noel's WTSMG anniversary ideas back then mirror Liam's Definitely Maybe anniversary ideas now. They missed the anniversary reunion boat in 2015 but they could catch the next one. Have lessons been learned?

Liam

"Going around playing someone else's [Oasis] songs?" says Gallagher. "That's not cool, is it?"

"Oasis is an entity that is to do with Liam and Noel," agrees Bell.

But an Oasis reunion, Gallagher insists, simply isn't going to happen.

"Never," he says firmly. "This [Beady Eye] is not a stopgap until me and Noel come to our senses and start Oasis again. That is well and truly done.” 

The Guardian Feb 2011

Noel 

“Well I regret when I was sat in the car and I kind of made a snap decision, really, if I had my time again I’d have thought about it a bit more and gone back, done the gig, done the next, there was only two gigs left on the tour,” he remarked.

“It was a hasty decision I’ve got to say, and we could maybe have all gone off and done other things for a few years. In my own head the 2015, 20-year anniversary of ‘…Morning Glory’ is looming and we could have maybe come back, made a new album and played that album in its entirety [WTSMG] and gone and been the greatest thing ever, but there you go.”

Absolute Radio August 2011

Noel

Is there any chance that Oasis will ever reunite?

“Liam has said that the idea makes him vomit and it would never happen, so I don’t need to add anything to that. I don’t need the fucking money, but I think it’s a shame that songs like “Champagne Supernova,” “Rock and Roll Star,” “The Importance of Being Idle” and “The Shock of the Lightning” will never be played again. In a stadium. That kind of fills me with sadness. The money is kind of irrelevant. There’s bands that say, ‘We don’t want to get back together. We’d have to make a new record.' Why? Fuck a new record. No one gives a shit about your new record. Play the fucking old ones. The Led Zeppelin guys are like, ‘There will have to be a new record.’ Really? Yeah, because that would be fucking great, wouldn’t it? Play fucking ‘Whole Lotta Love.’ Get over it.

So, you’re saying there won’t ever be a reunion? Most groups say ‘never ever’ and then 10 years later, they do it.

"I’m saying that the singer has said “Never ever.” So we’ll leave it at that. 

Rolling Stone Magazine Oct 2011

Liam

"If we can put our shit aside, we can tour and play the album in its entirety for the 20th anniversary," Liam told Rolling Stone magazine. "I'd be up for that, if it's on our terms. There's got to be two-way respect. [Noel's] the one that keeps mentioning it," Liam said. "I want to put him out of his misery.

The Guardian Oct 2011

Fast forward to 2016...

Liam on Oasis splitting… I was more disappointed that Oasis split up. I wonder if he was. I’ve never heard him say he was disappointed about Oasis. No, he’s got what he wanted. Er, Liam seems you didn't follow his 2011 interviews!

Liam on reuniting with Noel…. Do you think I want to be in a band with that c*nt? He says, ‘Liam has to change.’ Get to f*ck. So I just tweet when he drops the ball because I will not let him get away with murder.

Q Magazine Aug 2016

What a role reversal. In Liam's case, it's all a far cry from the Oasis flag carrier he is today, whist Noel was the wistful and nostalgic one. What strikes me is how entrenched they both are in this cycle of baiting and punishing one another. As soon as one expresses interest, the other dismisses it, so that they are never in agreement, just as they are demonstrating in 2023.

[dreamings-free]

by Joe Taysom Fri 4th Aug 2023 10.46 BST

The Libertines’ Pete Doherty has joined forces with Louis Tomlinson to release the debut album by singer-songwriter Andrew Cushin.

Waiting For The Rain is released on September 29th through Strap Originals, a label founded by Doherty and manager Jai Stanley. Cushin, who has been signed to the company since 2021, has been supporting Tomlinson on tour throughout the summer in North America and is set to play arena shows across Europe with the former One Direction star later this year.

Through his company 78 Productions, Tomlinson, who scored a number one album last year with Faith To The Future, offered to assist Doherty with the release of Cushin’s debut to help the LP reach a wider audience. “Here at Strap Originals we always put the artist first and it’s amazing that Louis Tomilinson and 78 productions are offering their support to the uber-talented Andrew Cushin,” Doherty said.

Tomlinson, who saw Cushin for the first time on Soccer AM last year, added: “As somebody who has been interested in up and coming acts, working with Andrew was a no brainer. With his incredible voice partnered with his honesty in lyric I’m really excited to work alongside Peter and the Strap Originals team to help Andrew reach as many people as possible.”

Meanwhile, Cushin said of the collaboration: “As somebody who has been interested in up and coming acts, working with Andrew was a no brainer. With his incredible voice partnered with his honesty in lyric I’m really excited to work alongside Peter and the Strap Originals team to help Andrew reach as many people as possible.”

Doherty recently confirmed The Libertines have finished work on their next album All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade. Speaking to Far Out��last year, he exclusively revealed the band planned to make new music with former Rolling Stones producer Andrew Loog Oldham in Bogota, Colombia.

Doherty stated: “We’re still chugging along, so we’ll see. We’re going to Bogota in Colombia at the end of March, and while we’re there, we are supposed to be meeting up with Andrew Loog Oldham, The Rolling Stones producer and songwriter.”

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

August 2, 2023

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

AUG 3, 2023

There have been more developments today surrounding yesterday’s indictment of former president Trump for conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding as he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election and install himself in office over the wishes of the American people. 

Observers today called out the part of the indictment that describes how Trump and Co-Conspirator 4, who appears to be Jeffrey Clark, the man Trump wanted to make attorney general, intended to use the military to quell any protests against Trump’s overturning of the election results. When warned that staying in power would lead to “riots in every major city in the United States,” Co-Conspirator 4 replied, “Well…that’s why there’s an Insurrection Act.”

The Insurrection Act of 1807 permits the president to use the military to enforce domestic laws, invoking martial law. Trump’s allies urged him to do just that to stay in power. Fears that Trump might do such a thing were strong enough that on January 3, 2021, all 10 living former defense secretaries signed a Washington Post op-ed warning that “[e]fforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory.” 

They put their colleagues on notice: “Civilian and military officials who direct or carry out such measures would be accountable, including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic.” Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo recalled today that military leaders told Congress they were reluctant to respond to the violence at the Capitol out of concern about how Trump might use the military under the Insurrection Act. 

Political pollster Tom Bonier wrote: “I understand Trump fatigue, but it feels like the president and his advisors preparing to use the military to quash protests against his planned coup should be bigger news. Especially when that same guy is in the midst of a somewhat credible comeback effort.”

On The Beat tonight, Ari Melber connected Trump Co-Conspirator John Eastman to Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Just before midnight on January 6, 2021, after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Eastman wrote to Pence’s lawyer to beg him to get Pence to adjourn Congress “for 10 days to allow the legislatures to finish their investigations, as well as to allow a full forensic audit of the massive amount of illegal activity that has occurred here.” On the floor of the Senate at about the same time, Cruz, who voted against certification, used very similar language when he called for “a ten-day emergency audit.” 

An email sent by Co-Conspirator 6, the political consultant, matches one sent from Boris Epshteyn to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, suggesting that Epshteyn is Co-Conspirator 6. The Russian-born Epshteyn has been with Trump’s political organization since 2016 and was involved in organizing the slates of false electors in 2020. Along with political consultant Steve Bannon, Epshteyn created a cryptocurrency called “$FJB, which officially stands for “Freedom. Jobs. Business.” but which they marketed to Trump loyalists as “F*ck Joe Biden.” By February 2023, Nikki McCann Ramirez reported in Rolling Stone that the currency had lost 95% of its value.

Since the indictment became public, Trump loyalists have insisted that the Department of Justice is attacking Trump’s First Amendment rights to free speech. Indeed, if Giuliani’s unhinged appearance on Newsmax last night is any indication, it appears that has been their strategy all along. Aside from the obvious limit that the First Amendment does not cover criminal behavior, the grand jury sidestepped this issue by acknowledging that Trump had a right to lie about his election loss. It indicted him for unlawfully trying to obstruct an official proceeding and to disenfranchise voters. 

Today, Trump’s former attorney general William Barr dismissed the idea that the indictment is an attack on Trump’s First Amendment rights. Barr told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “As the indictment says, they're not attacking his First Amendment right. He can say whatever he wants. He can even lie. He can even tell people that the election was stolen when he knew better. But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy. All conspiracies involve speech. And all fraud involves speech. Free speech doesn't give you the right to engage in a fraudulent conspiracy.” 

Rudy Giuliani has his own troubles in the news today, unrelated to the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. His former assistant Noelle Dunphy is suing him for sexual harassment and abuse, and new transcripts filed in the New York Supreme Court of Giuliani’s own words reveal disturbing fantasies of sexual domination that are unlikely to help his reputation. (Historian Kevin Kruse retweeted part of the transcript with the words, “Goodbye, lunch.”) 

The chaos in the country’s political leaders comes with a financial cost. According to Fitch Ratings Inc., a credit-rating agency, the national instability caused by “a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years” has damaged confidence in the country’s fiscal management. Yesterday it downgraded the United States of America’s long-term credit rating for the second time in U.S. history. 

Fitch cited “repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions,” “a complex budgeting process,” and “several economic shocks as well as tax cuts and new spending initiatives” for its downgrade. The New York Times warned that the downgrade is “another sign that Wall Street is worried about political chaos, including brinkmanship over the debt limit that is becoming entrenched in Washington.”

The timing of the downgrade made little sense economically, as U.S. economic growth is strong enough that the Bank of America today walked back earlier warnings of a recession. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen noted that the key factors on which Fitch based its downgrade had started in 2018 and called the downgrade “arbitrary.” The editorial board of the Washington Post  called the timing “bizarre.” But the timing makes more sense in the context of the fact that House Republicans could not pass 11 of 12 necessary appropriations bills before leaving for their August recess.

The White House said it “strongly disagree[d]” with the decision to downgrade the U.S. credit rating, noting that the ratings model Fitch used declined under Trump before rebounding under Biden, and saying “it defies reality to downgrade the United States at a moment when President Biden has delivered the strongest recovery of any major economy in the world.” But it did agree that “extremism by Republican officials—from cheerleading default, to undermining governance and democracy, to seeking to extend deficit-busting tax giveaways for the wealthy and corporations—is a continued threat to our economy.”

The list of contenders for this poll will update as the results roll in.

1930s - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

1940s - Fantasia (1940)

1950s - Alice in Wonderland (1951)

2000s - The Emperor’s New Groove (2000)

2010s - Tangled (2010)

2020-2022 - Encanto (2021)

Overall Winner: Mulan (1998)

The NEW 2020s poll, with the winners from 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as the contenders, will start January 1, 2024.

If the overall 2020s movie winner changes, I will then hold a new decades poll on January 8, 2024.

The 2020s poll from 2024 and onward (lol) will just have the top movie from each year go against the new ones. If we run out of slots available for all the new movies with the previous winners, I will hold a poll with just the new movies, get a winner, and then run it against the old year winners of the 2020s.

If I remember to run this tournament into the 2030s, I will do an Over the Centuries poll comparing the favorite of one century of Disney animation to another :).

My main blog is @deathsmallcaps and my art blog is @patheticbatman if curiosity strikes you.

I’m pretty sure there is another poll going on like this, I’m just running this one for my own amusement, and because I like to think about these in terms of decades.

#Disney polls #13 is my lucky number so I’m happy :)

Paul and Linda, a collection of PDAs: Part 4 - Arm in Arm, Hand on Shoulder, etc.

In other words, more more hands and arms to hold onto each other …

March 25, 1971 Heathrow Airport, London, England

Date unknown, guessing 1973 from the ages of the children. Paul surrounded by his family of girls, arm in arm with Linda.

I believe this is 1973 Band on The Run photo shoot.

As above, right picture edited with a smooth background.

Fall 1974 during early sessions for Venus and Mars at Abbey Road. A nice pose with hand on Linda’s shoulder. First photo was included in Daily Mail article Jan. 6, 2023, on Mary McCartney’s Abbey Road documentary.

Jan. or Feb. 1975 New Orleans. You hold my arm while I hold my joint. 😆 Photo by John Taylor.

Per Daily Mail article Aug. 8, 2013 “I want to SHAKE your hand!” The caption for this photo was as follows: “Young love: McCartney and his wife Linda caught in an unposed moment, taken by fan John Taylor.”

1976 for Rolling Stone. Paul places a steadying hand on Linda’s shoulder (maybe it’s to steady himself 😊) as daughters Mary and Stella show off their cuteness.

1978 in front of a castle near Folkestone. Linda is on her appaloosa horse, resting a comforting hand on Paul’s shoulder. Photo by Jim Sugar.

1978 Another pic of Paul and Linda posing with her horse. Photo by David Thorpe/Daily Mail.

1985 London. Photos by Terry O’Neill

April 4, 1989 at The Grosvenor House Hotel for the Ivor Novello Awards.

Oct. 1992 On their property in East Sussex with Linda atop her beloved appaloosa horse as she poses with her hand resting affectionately on Paul’s shoulder, for Vanity Fair article “Moll of Kintyre.” Photo by Harry Benson.

1993 Photo shoot for the album Off The Ground. Arm in arm and ready for the altar; but, alas, it is not a real wedding (it’s not a recreation of their 1969 nuptials nor a renewal of vows).

They’re just donning the costumes of a bride and groom, who evidently are not in sync with the era of their marriage. Paul’s groom looks to be from the late 1950s, while Linda’s dress looks like an heirloom from the 1850s — kind of matronly with a veil that looks like she’s wearing a lace tablecloth — but Linda looks cute in it and gives it some old fashioned charm.

Roger McGuinn at Midland Theatre, Newark, Ohio, Aug. 22, 2023

There’s no need for Roger McGuinn to write a book. His Songs and Stories With … tour is his autobiography. And hearing the man speak and sing about his incredible life and career is much more enjoyable than reading about it anyway.

As the jangle of an electric guitar playing the Byrds’ arrangement of “My Back Pages” filled the hall - “My ‘My Way,’” McGuinn called it - he walked on stage, stepped to a mic and began to sing. At 81, McGuinn’s voice betrayed some fragility at various points during his two-set, 110-minute performance inside Newark, Ohio’s, three-quarters-full Midland Theatre. But he still plays and sings like a Byrd.

After the opener, McGuinn, dressed in all black save for a red feather in his fedora, took a seat and, surrounded by a banjo, 12- and six-string acoustic guitars, his trusty electric Rickenbacker and tropical plants, proceeded to tell his life’s story. And the concert had the arc of a book, beginning with his childhood in Chicago where he first heard “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Be-Bop-A-Lula” - snippets of which he played - before he went to the Old Town School of Folk Music and got turned on to Bob Gibson and Lead Belly, leading McGuinn to offer full versions of “Daddy Roll ’Em” and “On Easter Morn’ He Rose.”

A teenaged McGuinn then met Pete Seeger, from whom he learned “Turn! Turn! Turn!,” played on electric, and “Rolling Down to Old Maui,” rendered acoustically. He was hired by the Limeliters, met David Crosby in California and Joan Baez (“Virgin Mary”) in New York. He traveled to South America and was inspired to write what would become the bridge of “Chestnut Mare” while sitting on a cliff and eventually went to work for Bobby Darin in Las Vegas - McGuinn was there when Darin discovered Wayne Newton. This was all before McGuinn met Peter Fonda, which prompted “The Ballad of Easy Rider.”

McGuinn wrapped the first set with “I Wasn’t Born to Follow” and “Mr. Spaceman.” He opened set two the way he’d opened the gig, with the sounds of “So You Want to be a Rock ’n’ Roll Star” announcing his arrival and “Lover of the Bayou” following. And despite any wear and tear on his vocal cords, the McGuinn of 2023 is smoother than the raspy McGuinn of 1970’s (Untitled).

From here, McGuinn’s storytelling turned nonlinear as he talked about his friendship with Tom Petty (“King of the Hill”); touring Europe with him and Bob Dylan (a singalong “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”); and the shenanigans of Dylan’s Rolling Thunder trek. It was here that McGuinn got permission to record Joni Mitchell’s “Dreamland,” also performed, and was inspired to write “Jolly Roger” by the pirate-like nature of the cross-country escapade in a retrofitted Greyhound bus borrowed from Frank Zappa

McGuinn plucked the banjo on “Old Blue” and recalled working in the Brill Building and nicking the Beach Boys to write and record “Beach Ball” with the the City Surfers, featuring the Bee Gees on background vocals. He then went on to explain how the Byrds ripped off the Beatles not only in their name but by taking the latter’s idea of using folk chords in rock music and - sampling “I Want to Hold Your Hand” to demonstrate - as inspiration for creating folk-rock with songs like “The Water is Wide” and “You Showed Me.”

The Byrd was as enthusiastic as a small child with a new toy when he talked about reconnecting with Crosby and joining forces with Gene Clark, Michael Clarke and Chris Hillman; meeting the Beatles and the Stones in England; and serving as the opening act for Hoyt Axton, whose mother wrote the aforementioned “Heartbreak Hotel,” thus bringing the story full circle.

The set proper closed with McGuinn showing off his substantial lead-guitar chops on a lengthy acoustic rendering of “Eight Miles High,” before he walked off without a word. He walked back on without a word, preceded again by the telltale jangle, and performed “I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better,” “She Don’t Care about Time” and “May the Road Rise to Meet You” while standing at the off-center mic.

Including parts or all of 30 songs in total, the set and its stories left even the most knowledgable McGuinn fans even more so. And no one left a stranger.
