Cher broke out one of her best musical bits last night at the annual Love Rocks NYC benefit concert, taking the stage dressed as Elvis Presley to perform Marc Cohn’s “Walking in Memphis.”

Donning a pristine Presley pompadour wig and a pink shirt with a massive collar, Cher delivered a pristine performance of the 1991 classic as part of her three-song set (which also included “(This Is) A Song for the Lonely” and “Believe”). Cher famously recorded a version of “Walking in Memphis” for her 1995 album, It’s a Man’s World,...

Beck will bring his symphonic reinvention back to North American stages this summer, with nine concerts across eight cities backed by local orchestras.

This announcement follows Beck’s well-received orchestral performances at Carnegie Hall and other venues last year. “The band got a little bigger since last time,” Beck joked during his two-night Carnegie stand, with the 73-member Orchestra of St. Luke’s onstage. Among other songs, the setlists highlighted work Beck created with his father, composer David Campbell, whose string arrangements on Sea Change and Morning Phase laid the groundwork for these shows.

Beck has booked a new leg of orchestral tour dates, during which he’ll play nine summer 2025 concerts in the US and Canada with orchestras local to each city.

The North American trek kicks off on July 15th in New Haven, Connecticut, and will also feature dates in Cincinnati, San Diego, Montreal, Toronto, and Colorado’s Red Rocks. See all of Beck’s upcoming tour dates below.

In The Recruit, Netflix’s high-octane CIA drama, Noah Centineo plays a lawyer turned unlikely protagonist. But being an action star was never something the 28-year-old sought out. For most of his still slightly nascent career, he’s been in a different box.

“The rom-com, romantic interest archetype was pretty much the only thing that I got booked doing from age 15 until To All the Boys and Perfect Date and Sierra Burgess [Is a Loser],” Centineo tells The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor spent the bulk of his 20s playing different iterations of the internet’s boyfriend in those Netflix films before pivoting for The Recruit — a move he says wasn’t actually intentional. Set to receive Scad TVfest’s distinguished performance award on Feb. 6, Centineo is eager to expand his horizons as an actor and producer under his production banner, Arkhum Productions.

Below, he reflects to THR on what led him to The Recruit,...

There's a silver lining, and then there's a silver casting.

As we have mentioned repeatedly in the past, anime seem to experience another golden era, with the titles of quality coming one after the other. The combination of manga adaptations, which remain the most dominant source of anime, with the original scripts (Ona) and the novel adaptations highlight the fact, since the industry seem to have no lack of stories and subsequently content, of quality. Furthemore, the isekai genre, which is the most dominant at the moments seems to present one great title after the other while one of the latest trend, that of the homage/parody of the classic elements of anime has also become prevalent, highlighting the smartness and otaku-ness of their creators.

Without further ado, here are the best anime of 2024, in reverse order, in a list that includes titles whose season or the whole series ended in 2024. The order could definitely be different particulalry close to the top,...

Radio Silence, the filmmaking team behind Ready or Not, Abigail, and the two most recent Scream sequels, are gearing up to go into production on Ready or Not 2 – but while Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are directing that sequel and producing it with Chad Villella, the trio are also producing a feature expansion of Colleen McGuinness’ short film Loser. Deadline reports that Angourie Rice, who also starred in the short, is set to star in the Loser feature alongside Ella Purnell (Fallout), Finn Bennett (True Detective: Night Country), and Lukas Gage (The White Lotus).

Details on the characters being played by Purnell, Bennett, and Gage have not been revealed, but we know that Rice will be playing Alice, a brilliant but troubled physicist, as she attempts to heal her trauma by using time travel, but gets caught in a twisty, cat-and-mouse game of murder and violence in New York City.

Exclusive: Radio Silence’s feature take of Colleen McGuinness’ Loser is set on adding four with Angourie Rice, Finn Bennett, Ella Purnell and Lukas Gage who are all in talks to board.

McGuinness will write, direct and produce the feature based on her award winning-short, with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett & Chad Villella set to produce on behalf of Radio Silence.

As a special holiday gift to The Film Stage podcast feed, listen to a new Box Office Bonanza! Here we talk about random box office weekends and where they fit into our lives. The movies, the memories! This episode features Dan Mecca, Conor O’Donnell, Mitchell Beaupre, Jordan Raup, and Cory Everett.

The box office weekend in question is July 21, 2000. The number one movie in the country was the Robert Zemeckis-directed, Clark Gregg-scripted, Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer-starring supernatural thriller What Lies Beneath. The number three movie was the second Pokémon feature film, Pokémon 2000. Gladiator was still in theaters, so was U-571.

But at the start, we mount a passionate defense of the new Zemeckis epic Here, which has now arrived digitally. After that, we talk about Martin Lawrence movies. We talk about how horrible Greg Kinnear’s character is in Amy Heckerling’s Loser. We talk...

Following their highly successful “Summer of ’99” reunion tour, Creed kicked off their fall “Are You Ready?” tour on Saturday night (November 2nd) in Oklahoma City. The evening featured support from 3 Doors Down and Mammoth Wvh, both of whom will be on board for most of the outing.

Singer Scott Stapp and company opened their 15-song set at the Paycom Center with “Bullets” off 2001’s Weathered, but then surprised fans with a performance of that album’s “Freedom Fighter” for the first time since 2002.

Favorites like “Torn,” “Are You Ready?,” and “My Own Prison” also highlighted the early part of the set. As he did during the summer tour, guitarist Mark Tremonti gifted a fan with a guitar at the end of “What If.” This time around, it was a young girl named Justice who had been watching the show while perched on her dad’s shoulders.

Shnen anime continues to be immensely popular, having legions of fans beyond its intended demographic of young males who enjoy stories of action, adventure, and friendship. It's little wonder that some of the greatest anime titles of yesteryear are shnen, such as Dragon Ball and Naruto, and each year adds even more to the shnen pile. The 2020s have been a great decade for shnen fans who want fresh anime to watch, and 2024 promises to keep up that trend.

The year 2024 boasts a delightful variety of new and returning shnen titles in all four of its anime seasons for fans to try out. Shnen lovers can revisit the Winter 2024 season to find great series they missed, and they can try out some solid shnen series here in the Spring 2024 anime season. Then, fans can make a note of even more shnen anime titles slated to release later this year in summer and fall.

Loser follows Alice, a brilliant but troubled physicist, as she attempts to heal her trauma by using time travel. However, she gets caught in a twisty, cat-and-mouse game of murder and violence in New York City.

“With Loser the short, I wanted to examine that specific turbulence of your early 20s, when your hopes and fears seem magnified, and it’s easy to feel like a loser — until you realize how much bigger the world is, and how good we really have it. In the feature, these feelings spill over into a female-led time travel thriller,...

The Biggest Loser was a commercial success but failed many contestants who gained weight back and worse. Research showed former competitors had slower metabolic rates, making weight regain easier. Even Jillian Michaels criticized the show for eliminating contestants and not providing therapy support.

In the years since The Biggest Loser first became a hit, it has been increasingly common for celebrities to talk about their weight battles. For example, Rebel Wilson admitted using Ozempic, Sharon Osbourne bashed stars who lie about how they stay fit, and Lainey Wilson revealed how she lost 70 pounds.

Since fans are curious about how Brendan Fraser has lost weight, it seems like there would be more interest in how successful The Biggest Loser was. After all, many viewers took advice from The Biggest Loser's stars about how they should get in shape. With that in mind, it is a real shame that The Biggest Loser...

Toronto International Film Festival’s (TIFF) Primetime programme unveiled with the Short Cuts selections on Friday includes new series from Joe Wright, Thomas Vinterberg, Alfonso Cuarón, and Tomas Alfredson.

Grateful Dead fans can celebrate the group’s momentous 1978 spring tour with Friend of the Devils, a massive box set out Sept. 20.

Friend of the Devils: April 1978 features eight shows the band played that month, including Pembroke Pines, Florida on April 4 and Atlanta Georgia’s Fox Theatre on April 10 and 11. The shows were originally recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and restored and mastered by engineer Jeffrey Norman. The deluxe edition includes 19 CDs, a book with liner notes by Steve Silverman, and photos by James Anderson, Bob Minkin, and others.

The 65th Newport Folk Festival kicked off Frinday, and along with performances by Adrianne Lenker, Wednesday, Muna, and more, festival-goers were treated to a surprise set by Beck.

Taking the Quad Stage in the afternoon alongside a full band, Beck delivered a short set consisting mostly of covers of classic American songs paying tribute to the festival’s musical roots, including renditions of Jimmie Rodgers’ “Waiting for a Train,” Blind Willie Johnson’s “God Moves on the Water,” and the traditionals “John Hardy” and “Stagger Lee.” He also played a few ‘60s era songs, including Fred Neil’s “The Other Side of This Life” and, in a classic Newport move, Bob Dylan’s “Maggie’s Farm.”

Closing out the performance, Beck played a handful of his own songs, including “The Golden Age,” “One Foot in the Grave,” and the set-closer, “Loser.” Check out videos of the performance below.

Actors Seann William Scott, Tara Reid, and more had their breakout roles in the teen comedy American Pie. Following the lives of a group of seniors in high school who hoped to lose their virginity before college, the raunchy teen comedy became a global phenomenon and spawned a $900 million franchise.

However, the actors who starred in the films have had varying degrees of success. While actors like Seann William Scott have continued to work frequently as actors, others such as Natasha Lyonne have gone to work behind the camera as well. On its 25th anniversary, here is where the stars of American Pie are after gaining fame with the s*x comedy franchise.

American Pie became a global phenomenon and became an anthem of sorts to awkward teens of the late ‘90s and early 2000s.

Beck recently kicked off his 2024 orchestral tour (get tickets here) at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in the Seattle suburb of Woodinville, Washington on Wednesday (July 3rd) and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Saturday (July 6th).

Both sets began with the Morning Phase opening track “Cycle” before transitioning into “The Golden Age” from 2002’s Sea Change. From there, Beck sandwiched covers of The Korgis’ signature hit “Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime” and Scott Walker’s “It’s Raining Today” around another Sea Change cut, “Lonesome Tears.”

Other highlights from the sets included performances of hits like “Where It’s At” and “The New Pollution” alongside more recent singles like “Blue Moon” and “Waking Light.” Beck also played his cover of Colourbox’s “Tarantula” from the Roma soundtrack and returned for an encore featuring “Loser,” which he performed without the orchestra.

From Inside Out 2 To The Fall Guy, Here Are The Box Office Winners & Losers Of 2024(Photo Credit –YouTube)

This summer has shown us too many sequels, and while some of them have done incredibly well at the box office, others weren’t much celebrated in 2024. Despite ticket sales mounting for every blockbuster release, some sequels should have skipped theatres altogether, yes, we’re talking about the Mad Max franchise’s latest release, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. As much as fans expected the movie would live up to the earlier instalments, this chapter faced a treacherous road of failure. And yet, some films managed to pack in crowds, like Dune: Part Two, which performed well at the box office. As we wait for more sequels and new movies for the remaining 2024, let’s explore the winners and losers of 2024 at the box office till now.

When a film can successfully trigger several dozen eye rolls and winces, it officially plunges into cringe movie territory. Several teen flicks usually fall into this category, as perfecting a plot centered around youngsters is no easy feat. While many cringe teen movies have gone on to become cult classics, some of them are just so bad, they're great.

Sometimes it's due to a bad plot, or writing that features shudder-worthy one-liners. Other times, it's due to exaggerated characters. Regardless, the cringiest teen movies often warrant a rewatch, not for critical analysis, but for a hearty laugh or two.

Updated on April 24th, 2024 by Fawzia Khan: Teen movies are essential watches for that demographic, and nostalgic treats for older viewers. First love, new friends, coming of age, and high school shenanigans can be fun to watch, but not all movies get it right. Some teen movies veer into cringe territory with dialogues,...

Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer and her production banner Lab Brew.

In re-upping the deal, the studio has also picked up Here Comes the Dark, a supernatural thriller spec script by Shane and Carey Van Dyke, the duo who co-wrote the 2022 thriller Don’t Worry Darling. Anderson Beer and Lab Brew will produce.

Paramount’s renewal is a vote of confidence in Anderson Beer, who wrote and made her feature directorial debut with the horror movie Pet Sematary: Bloodline for the studio last year. The movie debuted as the No. 1 title on Paramount+ and quickly broke the streamer’s record for the most-watched Paramount+ original movie within the first 30 days of a film’s release in the U.S. Anderson Beer broke through by writing the popular Netflix movie Sierra Burgess Is a Loser.

“Lindsey is a wonderfully gifted writer, director and producer with sharp...

The 1990 television adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel "It" may be best known for Tim Curry's performance as Pennywise, who made an entire generation seriously terrified of clowns, but it would be nothing without the heart and soul of the Loser's Club. In the 1950s, a group of misfit kids growing up in Derry, Maine are brought together, partially because they don't belong anywhere else, but also because they happen to be targeted by the malevolent force that haunts their town, stealing and murdering its local children. Together, they have to face off against Pennywise to stop the killing once and for all. That's what they think, anyway. But despite defeating Pennywise as children, they're forced to return to Derry as adults and once again confront the terrors of their youth.

As a result of this, "It" has an interesting casting dilemma of finding not only seven...

Shameik Moore admitted to being a "sore loser" on social media after Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse lost at the 96th Academy Awards. The actor initially posted that the film was "robbed" on X, formerly Twitter, which led to Moore being called out by some social media users. Despite the upset, Moore later acknowledged the winners and emphasized that Across the Spider-Verse has impacted many lives beyond the awards ceremony.

Too bad Shameik Moore doesn’t have a real-life Spider-Sense, because it probably would have started tingling before he posted to social media last night. Yes, the Miles Morales voice actor himself admitted to being a “sore loser” after his movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, lost out to The Boy and the Heron at the 96th Academy Awards. But when the announcement was made during the ceremony, Moore (@shameikmoore) jumped on X, formerly Twitter, and posted one word:

In 1991, when Debbie Gibson’s underrated third album, Anything Is Possible, stalled at #41 on the charts, the New York Times printed a full-page obituary for her relatively brief career titled “The Perils and Perishability of a Teen Idol.” In just a few short years, Gibson had gone from America’s sweetheart—anointed the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a #1 hit—to being declared a pop casualty by the nation’s newspaper of record.

Only two years earlier, the Long Island teen had scored her biggest hit, “Lost in Your Eyes,” the lead single from her sophomore effort, Electric Youth. The album is arguably the weakest of Gibson’s four Atlantic releases, largely eschewing the sleek dance-pop and of-the-moment freestyle and hi-Nrg stylings of 1987’s Out of the Blue in favor of ostensibly more mature piano ballads and Motown-lite, which zapped her music of the exuberance that made her debut so charming.

Last weekend, The Art of Elysium, a non-profit organization with a focus on healing and inspiring through art, hosted its 2024 Heaven Gala at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.

With Barbie having made the 2023 box office into her Dream House, Mattel is looking back into the toy box for its next blockbuster. The toymaker is now set to adapt its popular American Girl doll line into a Paramount feature. Deadline reports that an American Girl film is in the works, with Lindsey Anderson Beer set to write and produce. Anderson Beer is coming off her directorial debut, last year's horror prequel Pet Sematary: Bloodlines; she also wrote Sierra Burgess is a Loser and created the TV series The Magic Order.

Mattel Films, Paramount Pictures, and Temple Hill Entertainment are in the works on a feature take of the American Girl doll line. Lindsey Anderson Beer is attached to write the screenplay and produce.

Robbie Brenner, President of Mattel Films, said: “American Girl is a beloved franchise, rich in history and storytelling with millions of devoted fans. Through dolls, books, live experiences, and television movies, the brand has captured hearts for decades. We are excited to continue Mattel Films’ momentum and collaborate with Paramount Pictures, Temple Hill Entertainment, and Lindsey Anderson Beer to bring American Girl to life on the big screen.”

Daria Cercek, Co-President, Paramount Pictures Motion Picture Group, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Mattel Films, our friends at Temple Hill, and the incredibly talented Lindsey Anderson Beer to bring American Girl—one of the most iconic doll brands ever—to moviegoers everywhere.

It’s not a regular remake, it’s a cool remake: Paramount has shared the official trailer for their 2024 iteration of Mean Girls, out in theaters January 12th.

Like a set of pink-clad Russian dolls, this new Mean Girls film is adapted from the Broadway musical Mean Girls, which was adapted from Tina Fey’s 2004 comedy classic Mean Girls. Fey wrote the book for the stage version, which landed on Broadway in 2018, and is back as screenwriter for the 2024 film, too.

For the uninitiated: Mean Girls (2024) stars Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, whose notably Caucasian family has just moved back to the states after a stint in Africa. She befriends two fellow outcasts at her new high school, Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), and the three hatch a plan to take down the Plastics, an elite clique led by the infamous Regina George. It doesn’t go over so well.

Postmodern attempts at genre defiance have become de rigueur for pop artists today. In a streaming-dominated world where we can type away on our laptops to ambient hip-hop in the morning, sing along to old yacht-rock hits on our afternoon commute, and dance to Edm at night, what other way is there to keep our attention than to try to give us everything everywhere all at once? We’ve gotten a few attempts to do just that so far in 2023, from Kara Jackson’s quietly rebellious blending of folk and R&b, to Yves Tumor’s kitchen-sink instrumentation, to 100 gecs’s audacious and absurd hyperpop assaults.

Many of the artists who appear on this list, though, no longer seem content to just break down old barriers, as they also seek to shatter interpersonal and emotional ones as well. The oft-cited isolation of modern living, heavily exacerbated by the pandemic, has...

Ramona Singer will be returning to television with The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Rhony Legacy, the fifth installment of the Ugt franchise.

Singer will be reuniting with some of her former co-stars from The Real Housewives of New York City that includes Luann de Lesseps, Kelly Bensimon, Kristen Taekman, Dorinda Medley and Sonja Morgan.

“We are going to shoot in St. Barts. We’re going to revisit that famous pirate scene where Luann got busted with a pirate,” Singer said while appearing on Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap. “It probably won’t air until next year but it’s going to be fabulous.”

Singer continued, “To me, doing a whole show again for three months, 20 episodes, is too daunting for me. That’s why I built this podcast with Avery [her daughter] ’cause I could be in touch with my fans and be totally unfiltered and not edited. But now, just...

Deadheads will relive the Spring of 1973 thanks to a new, limited-release boxset. On Tuesday, the Grateful Dead announced the release of Here Comes Sunshine 1973, a 17-cd boxset featuring five previously unreleased concerts.

The entire box set is about 20 hours long and features audio from the group’s show in Des Moines, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and two shows in Washington D.C., between May 13 and June 10, 1973. The collection will be worth $190 and will be limited to 10,000 numbered copies.

The legendary Iggy Pop, who turns 76 today (April 21st), kicked off his spring West Coast US tour at the Regent Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday night (April 20th).

His all-star backing band for this run includes bassist Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), drummer Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), guitarist/producer Andrew Watt, and guitarist Jamie Hince (The Kills).

The godfather of punk is out in support of his new album, Every Loser, which was produced by Watt and features McKagan and Smith on several tracks. The brief outing continues through an April 29th show in Las Vegas, with tickets available here.

The 12-song set for the tour kickoff included a cover of “Walk on the Wild Side.” While the rendition of the Lou Reed classic slowed things down considerably, Iggy and company rocked it out on solo favorites like “The Passenger” and “Lust for Life,” alongside Every Loser...

Today’s indictment of Donald Trump quickly became tonight’s punchline for TV’s late-night hosts.

Trump arch-nemesis Jimmy Kimmel said he found out about Trump’s indictment less than two hours before walking onstage, but the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host had no problem filling most of his monologue with Trump jokes, including “The ‘J’ in ‘Donald J. Trump’ now stands for ‘Jail,’ ” and, “He’s going to be read his Miranda Rights. Wait until he finds out that all this time he had the right to be silent.”

Kimmel also had some suggested titles for new reality series Trump might sell, given his circumstances. Among them: The Celebrity Apprehentice, Arrested Developer and, of course, the all-purpose Biggest Loser.

Kimmel had earlier tweeted a video of himself walking out to rapturous applause and, taking a page out of Trump’s book, hugging a flag. “A day many of us thought would never come!

Pennywise is the main antagonist in It, but other characters are just as frightening as the primary villain. Pennywise comes back every 27 years to terrorize the residents of Derry, and the 2017 film, set in 1989, follows the clown's attempt to take down Bill Denbrough and his Losers club. Pennywise is a manifestation of all of their fears, but when they stick together, they're able to defeat him at the end of It. Of course, he later comes back, which is showcased in 2019's It part 2.

While Pennywise's origin story, most explored in King's original novel of the same name, details his supernatural background, It also showcases how dangerous and terrifying human beings can be too. From bullies to abusive parents, there are plenty of other horrifying characters aside from Pennywise the Clown, making King's story that much scarier.

(Welcome to My Most Ridiculous Note, a series of interviews in which animators talk about the weirdest and funniest notes they received from studio executives.)

"Harley Quinn" is one of the funniest, most subversive, and overall best superhero shows around today. What could have easily been just an over-the-stop, crude, and hyper-violent adult cartoon quickly revealed itself to be full of heart and emotion, with great character arcs not just for Harley and Ivy, but the supporting cast, too.

This is a show that takes us inside Batman's mind, gives us the definitive version of the Waynes' murder, and even provides Bruce Wayne's first therapy session (kind of), all while also turning Joker into a loving stepfather, making King Shark an essential DC character, and giving Bane a characterization we could only dream of.

The show was created by Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey, all making their debuts in animation.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame voters will be making their 2023 selections soon. Solo male artists recently inducted have included Eminem (2022), Jay-Z (2021), The Notorious B.I.G. (2020), Lionel Richie (2022) and Todd Rundgren (2021).

If there was a Mount Rushmore of teen movie figureheads, it should include the Waters Brothers, the writing duo of Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, John Hughes (self explanatory), and Amy Heckerling.

Coming-of-age films are nothing new, but the "teen film" as we know it today is a relatively recent phenomenon, with 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" serving as the turning point for teen cinema. Before "Fast Times," films centered on teen stories weren't presented with authenticity to...

Received rock wisdom teaches us that punk and prog are sworn enemies. But by the early-to-mid-2000s, genres that seemed worlds apart in the late Seventies had started to creep closer together. The Mars Volta’s psychedelic 2002 post-hardcore fever dream De-Loused in the Comatorium suggested a wondrous hybrid; further underground, a one-off album by an obscure New York band called Gospel made these active ingredients explode. The band quickly frayed, but the LP — The Moon Is a Dead World, which expertly grafts shrieking desperation onto virtuosic synth-driven mini-epics — has become a cult classic,...

Exclusive: Heather Graham (Half Magic), Brandy Norwood (Queens), Jason Biggs (Outmatched) and Matt Cedeño (Power) have signed on to star in the Netflix holiday film Best. Christmas. Ever. from director Mary Lambert.

The film written by Charles Shyer (Father of the Bride) and Todd Calgi Gallicano (Sam London Adventure book series) centers on Jackie (Norwood), who every Christmas, without fail, sends a boastful holiday newsletter that makes her old college friend Charlotte (Graham) feel like a lump of coal. When a twist of fate lands Charlotte, her husband Rob (Biggs), and their family on Jackie’s and her husband Valentino’s (Cedeño) snowy doorstep just days before Christmas, Charlotte seizes the opportunity to prove her old friend’s “perfect” life can’t possibly be that perfect. But in her overzealous attempt to expose Jackie, Charlotte nearly ruins Christmas for both families and must team...

The last time Beck was at South By Southwest was back in 1994, a year where Johnny Cash gave a keynote address and then later played a showcase at Austin’s notorious punk club Emo’s. The headliner on that showcase? Beck himself.

Fast forward 28 years and Beck has become something of an elder statesman, armed with eight Grammys and making the cut on this year’s ballot for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Such an honorarium provides an ideal moment for a spot of reflection, and Beck...

Few Grammy Awards were as memorable as the 57th annual event. That night, Sam Smith almost swept the general field, Kendrick Lamar won his first awards, and Sia delivered one of the most memorable Grammys performances of the 21st century. But most importantly, the 2015 ceremony was remembered for the last award presented, which would prove not only controversial but, to many people, an exemplification of certain problems with the recording academy that have only gotten worse since then. The night of the 57th Grammy Awards was defined by one big question: how did Beck beat Beyonce?

To understand Beck’s landmark win, we first have to take a short look into his previous work. Beck has been known for making eclectic yet mainstream alternative music. His debut album, the folk-driven “Golden Feelings,” didn’t receive much attention. It wasn’t until his third studio album, “Mellow Gold,” that Beck got...

McMurray and Was were bandmates in Was (Not Was), with Was — in his role as president of Blue Note — set to release...
