Some Girls is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. The Rolling Stones released the album in 1978, and it became one of their most successful records. Lead singer Mick Jagger fondly looked back on Some Girls and explained why it’s one of his favorite Rolling Stones albums decades later.
Mick Jagger believes ‘Some Girls’ is underrated, calls it one of his favorite albums
Some Girls was released in 1978 and was The Rolling Stones’ 16th album. The album had many highlights, including “Miss You,” “Beast of Burden,” and “Far Away Eyes.” While the album was a hit and received positive reviews, Jagger believes the album is “underrated.” In a 2011 interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, the singer explained why Some Girls is one of his favorite Rolling Stones albums.
“It’s one of my favorite Stones albums, I think, because it’s so listenable as an album, and it gets to the heart of the matter straight away,...

It took The Rolling Stones a few years to find their footing in England’s busy 1960s music scene. Once they did, they released a string of successful albums that became all-time classics. After a lull in the mid-1970s, The Rolling Stones returned to glory with Some Girls, a record that singer Mick Jagger rated as one of his favorite records by the band.
Mick Jagger rates The Rolling Stones album ‘Some Girls’ as 1 of his favorite, and he has a point
Each Stones record from 1968’s Beggars Banquet through 1973’s Goats Head Soup was a certified classic. You won’t find many fans (or very likely any fans) who would argue that wasn’t the band’s creative peak.
The band maintained an incredible pace in their first decade together. They had to slow down at some point. The uneven It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (1974) and the...

Rolling Stones lead guitarist Keith Richards has always spoken his mind. He said The Who singer Roger Daltry was all flash and that the band’s drummer Keith Moon was a hopeless performer with any other group. He has never cared if his words offend, even if they alienate his audience. Richards said a certain group of fans pissed him off when they criticized the Stones’ album Some Girls and the song “Miss You.”

The Rolling Stones practically created the blueprint for edgy, boozy, blues-based hard rock. They reached their apex between 1968 and 1973. Their five albums — Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., and Goats Head Soup — produced a slew of glowing reviews and signature songs.
Understandably, the band’s pace slowed down after that.

Oftentimes, in fiction as well as in real life, decisive events for a nation coincide with a personal crisis. As we are embedded in the troubles of our problems most of the time, the parallels to the other happenings may escape us, even though in retrospect we become aware of them. In fiction, in films and literature, the national event is often a metaphor or mirror for what is happening to the individual, which is certainly the case for director Wang Chun-Hong's feature debut “Far Away Eyes”, which was awarded at MicroClimate Prize at FidLAB 2019. The story of a personal and artistic crisis slowly becomes a tale about a nation at an important point in its history, not so much because of the events which occur, but because of the mood and mentality which can be observed in the streets of Taipei.

"Are you worried a new dead guy will show up and sweep me off my feet?" Vertical Ent. has debuted an official trailer for an amusing romantic comedy titled Here After, previously known as Faraway Eyes when it initially premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival last year. This is a dark fantasy-comedy about the meaning of love in the afterlife. When an actor dies after a bad breakup, he finds himself stuck in "singles Purgatory" where he must find his soul mate in order to cross over to the other side. Ha! And you thought dating in real life was hard, just wait until the "ghostly dating scene". The film stars Andy Karl as Michael, with Christina Ricci, Nora Arnezeder, Jackie Cruz, and Michael Rispoli. This reminds me a bit of The Lobster at first, about being stuck somewhere until you find a partner. It looks quite sweet, I'm curious.

Craig Finn has characterized his last two albums with the Hold Steady–2010’s Heaven is Whenever and 2014’s Teeth Dreams–as creative low-points. Despite their bright spots, those records sometimes felt as though the group was suffering from the age-old rock & roll problem: how does a band grow up and still maintain its sense of self?
On Thrashing Thru the Passion, the Hold Steady’s first record in five years, and their first with keyboardist Franz Nicolay in over a decade, the newly reconfigured sextet arrive at a simple answer:...

Exclusive: Jackie Cruz, best known for Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black, will join Lucy Hale when filming for the romantic comedy A Nice Girl Like You commences next month in New Jersey. Siblings Chris & Nick Riedell are directing the film based on a screenplay by Andrea Marcellus.
Based on a true story by Ayn Carillo-Gailey, the pic follows Lucy Neal (Hale), an adorable, follow-the-rules, somewhat repressed, well-educated violinist who is thrown for a loop when she is accused of being too inhibited by her ex-boyfriend. In an effort to prove him wrong, Lucy creates a rather wild to-do list that sends her on a whirlwind journey of self-discovery, friendship, and new love.
Cruz will star as Nessa, a personal assistant and overgrown “girl gone wild” who is adventurous, flirtatious and openly embraces her sexuality. Cruz has spent six seasons as Flaca Gonzales on Oitnb, which is wrapping after it’s upcoming seventh season.

Three-time Tony Award nominee Andy Karl, last seen on Broadway in Groundhog Day, has been cast as the male lead in the upcoming Pretty Woman: The Musical. He’ll play Edward Lewis (Richard Gere in the 1990 movie) opposite Samantha Barks’ Vivian (the role that made a superstar of Julia Roberts).
Karl, who won an Olivier Award for the London production of Groundhog Day and also starred in Broadway’s Saturday Night Fever, replaces Steve Kazee, who left the Pretty Woman production for family reasons, according to producers.
The new musical, which begins performances July 20 at the Nederlander Theatre, also stars Karl’s real-life wife Orfeh, a Tony nominee for Legally Blonde. Karl had seen the show in pre-Broadway workshops and the Chicago run.
“I always figured I’d be playing the part of ‘audience member’ for Pretty Woman,” Karl said. “When Paula Wagner and my longtime friend, Jerry Mitchell, asked...
