Are The Beatles and The Rolling Stones still chasing the muse... or just refusing to leave the stage?
This week on Entertainment Is Broken, Richard Crouse and Sarah Hanlon dig into the eternal encore of rock’s biggest legacy acts. Paul McCartney has new music. Ringo is collaborating again. The Rolling Stones are still very much The Rolling Stones. And somehow, decades later, these artists are still not just symbols of the past... they’re active participants in the present.
Richard and Sarah talk about the difference between artist and act, why audiences will still pay stadium prices for nostalgia, whether older musicians are unfairly judged in a way writers and actors aren’t, and how “relevance” may be the wrong measurement for art in the first place.
Also discussed: Wings, Billy Preston, concert ticket prices, blue dot fever, Paul Rudd’s apparent immunity to time, and Sarah’s escalating squirrel situation... which may already be a Cronenberg film.
