  In 2009, guitarist Randy Bachman of the Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive had the rare opportunity to hear the individual tracks that make up that mythic opening chord in the Beatles’ “A Hard Day’s Night,” an enigma that has baffled musicians for decades. Bachman found that it’s actually made up of a combination of different chords played all at once by George, John, and Paul. The discovery made for a great story, and Bachman told it the following year on his C

  My first reaction upon seeing this headline was, “Wow! Rudy’s strategy is working.” Giuliani’s been running around telling reporters this week that they’re giving Mueller until September 1 to agree to their terms for an interview. If not then the offer’s off the table until after the midterms. If Mueller wants to try to subpoena Trump before then and get blasted relentlessly by Republicans for meddling in a national campaign in its home stretch, let him. That&

  With all the arguments about college admission policies lately, particularly the treatment of Asian applicants at Harvard, some changes may be on the way. Sadly, this is a challenge which seems unlikely to produce a solution which will satisfy everyone. Arguments about racial quotas, the fairness of admission tests and the various criteria used to determine who gets into the nation’s top schools have become increasingly raw.

  Does a tape of Donald Trump using the “N-word” exist? If a new recording released by Omarosa Manigault Newman is authentic, at the very least some of his aides spitballed a spin strategy if one ever emerged.

  There’s been an understandable amount of debate over conditions in Chicago this summer, specifically when it comes to gang violence and gun crimes. To get an idea of just how bad it’s become, the Tribune ran a headline yesterday saying that violence this weekend exhibited a “sharp drop” because there were only 37 shootings. Sadly, that actually was a sharp drop since the previous weekend racked up 66 shootings and 12 deaths. People are looking for solutions, but there are

  So many songs take love as their topic, almost by default, that we hardly even think of the "love song" as a distinct type of musical work anymore. And when we do, we often do it out of a desire for alternatives: lyrics and compositions of a more complex, cerebral, and iconic nature, escapes from the simple paeans to infatuation, romance, and couplehood with which we can easily feel fed up. Few singer-songwriters in recent history would seem more capable of providing such escapes than Leonard Co

  Our assumptions about religion are underinformed.If anything seems self-evident in human culture, it’s the widespread presence of religion.
