...Vaughan was crying through his guitar, but in 1985, he positively wails, his second throaty lament more focused and piercing than the already brilliant first. He’s also stretched out in style, layering his blues aesthetic with arena rock in “Life Without You” and conjuring a more subtle Jimi Hendrix in “Voodoo Child.” In Montreux, Vaughan refined his improvisational technique while simultaneously letting his sound run ragged and wide. As a monument to a visceral artist and a study in artistic maturity, this set, regardless of musical...

Interracial couples are most prevalent in cities, university towns and large states with diverse populations: California, Texas, Florida and New York. And not all interracial dating is considered equal.

In Latin, the poem has Horace’s characteristic untranslatable syntactic gymnastics; but it is also a gripping dialectic on the nature of loss and mourning. Ferry?...
...intracolonial perspective that complicates Tarika's view. We're used to seeing this kind of pilgrimage and hearing this kind of lament from Westerners, from whom it betrays a kind of reverse Ugly Americanism, a tourist's disappointment that the natives won't be more authentic. But Tarika has no problem following Aretina with a cover of the Ronettes' Be My Baby, which Rasoanaivo remembers first hearing sung in Malagasy...
