Jennifer Lopez's new documentary,, is giving fans an inside look at her groundbreaking Super Bowl halftime performance, which she co-headlined with Shakira and featured Lopez's daughter, Emme.While the halftime show was celebrated for it's message and its undeniable entertainment value, the new doc — which premiered on Wednesday at the Tribeca Festival in New York City — revealed the rollercoaster of changes and conflicts behind the scenes.One of the first conflicts came from having two headliners — largely because she felt it took away from what both her and Shakira had to offer for a halftime show.«This is the worst idea in the world to have two people do the Super Bowl,» Lopez declares at one point while struggling to map out what her performance would be within the constraints the NFL had put on her team. «It was the worst idea in the world.»Lopez's longtime manager Benny Medina echoed her sentiments, slamming the NFL or thinking that they needed two Latina women to headline the Halftime Show.However, one of the biggest moments of the show came when Lopez and Shakira were joined by Lopez's daughter, who began her performance from inside metal cage while singing Lopez's tune «Let's Get Loud,» before all three sang the Bruce Springsteen classic «Born in the USA.»It was a powerful political message — which was through-and-through Lopez's intention with the performance and the inclusion of cage imagery, in response to Donald Trump's draconian immigration policies.It was also a moment that almost didn't happen. The night before the Super Bowl — during the final dress rehearsal — Lopez learned that the NFL producers want to pull the cages over fears of political ramifications.Medina explained that the objections came from

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorTo those who know, Patti Smith, pioneering punk poetess and rock star without peer or precedent, requires no introduction. But times change, generations succeed generations, and sometimes the world needs to be reminded of things like “Why Patti Smith Matters,” which is exactly the book that veteran music journalist Caryn Rose published yesterday via University of Texas Press. Rose, whose work has appeared in Pitchfork, Salon, the Village Voice, Vulture, Backstreets, the Guardian and Variety, explains, “I was eager to take on the formidable task of chronicling Patti Smith’s career because aside from Smith’s own work, the existing scholarship didn’t possess the kind of informed, careful perspective of her life and art that it deserves.” The book combines original research and primary sources — one of whom is Bruce Springsteen, who gave Rose an exclusive interview on the making of their 1978 hit song, “Because the Night.” A section of the book focusing on the song appears below.
