Minneapolis rapper Zora made a loud introduction on her debut singles “ Runnitup ” and “Happiest I’ve Ever Been,” but her latest release is a grand statement set on storming in and taking up space. The musician has shared “All Around the World!,” a pop anthem for trans people who are facing hundreds of anti-trans bills that have emerged with the intent of silencing a community too loud to be cast aside. “All Around the World!” is meant to serve as a record “that we could dance to, rejoice in, and just celebrate being us,” Zora said in a statement. The track bounces along electric production with sweet defiance, spinning out in a deep groove as she declares: “I know that you ain’t seen me/I don’t pick up the phone/Leave me the fuck alone, I’m never going home.” Celebratory at its core, “All Around the World!” is as carefree as it is a testament to perseverance. “With today’s climate, there are so many times that we only hear about trans people when we’re dying or at risk … [Read more...] about Zora Hits Back at Anti-Trans Bills With Defiant New Pop Single ‘All Around the World!’

The Emancipation of Steven Tyler
F or a moment, Steven Tyler almost runs out of words. He’s standing too close to the edge of a Laurel Canyon cliff, exulting in the panorama of Los Angeles at his feet, the city’s sprawl giving way to white-capped mountains on the horizon. Off to his left, past green hills, a gang of clouds has singled out the HOLLYWOOD sign for a blast of rain. A sharp wind ruffles Tyler’s hair as he takes it all in. A deep breath of cool air, then he resumes the monologue that’s been running since he learned to speak – or, as he puts it, since he was “vaccinated with a phonograph needle.” “It’s all magical,” Tyler says in his excited rasp, pointing out the storm. “Hollywood is crying, because the Oscars are happening tomorrow night – it’s sad to see the year go, but it’s also crying tears of joy, because it’s all going to start all over again.” Tyler means this stuff, all of it, and he can make you buy into it too. He’s in a manic, mystical state of awe and gratitude these days, practically … [Read more...] about The Emancipation of Steven Tyler
Aerosmith’s Amazing Road Back
S teven Tyler enters the hotel room and strips down to his black cracker – a sort of G-string. It’s three in the morning – four hours after Aerosmith wrapped up a show before 37,000 fans at Toronto’s Skydome – and the band’s hyperactive lead singer is back at the Four Seasons Hotel ready to do a little more performing. After contorting himself on the room’s double bed for a few minutes, he finally achieves his desired position: bound and gagged with an attractive female friend of the band’s riding him bareback. Someone turns on a video camera to record the moment for posterity. Tyler’s famous big lips – which rival Mick Jagger ‘s or even Carly Simon ‘s – break into a wide Cheshire-cat grin. Then suddenly his expression turns more serious, and he begins a series of muffled orgasmic squeals. This is, in all likelihood, not the first time that the forty-two-year-old Tyler has found himself in this sort of situation. In fact, to hear Tyler and the other members of Aerosmith … [Read more...] about Aerosmith’s Amazing Road Back
