“Roxanne,” “Every Breath You Take” and “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free” anymore.But the former Police frontman isn’t about to go chasing the charts in his golden years.“I’m 71 now, so my music has to reflect who I am, so I’m not desperately trying to get on the K-pop charts,” Sting told Music Week. “But there’s something about being a young musician, a young songwriter; it’s just kind of balls to the wall, let’s go for it. That energy is something that you can’t discount.”The English rock icon will become an Ivors Academy Fellow in London on May 18, receiving the highest honor from the songwriting organization.“Songwriting is a craft, and the Ivor Novello is its guild, if you like, so to be invited to be part of the fellowship is a great honor and one I don’t take for granted at all,” said Sting, who was born Gordon Sumner.Despite no longer trying to keep up with the BTS’s of the world, the 17-time Grammy winner still knows a great song when he writes — or hears — it.“Well, we all know it when we hear it,” said Sting.
“If it was a formula, it would be one thing and then we’d just keep repeating it, but it’s not. It’s something much more mysterious.
I don’t know, and I don’t suppose I ever will, but I know it when I hear it. And I know it when I’ve written one.”Even before receiving the Ivors Academy Fellow honor, Sting had already been gifted the ultimate props from another foundation fellow, Paul McCartney.
The Beatles legend named Sting’s 1993 hit “Fields of Gold” as the song he wishes that he’d written.“I can’t tell you how many songs of Paul McCartney’s I wish I’d written,” he said. “So that was a lovely thing for Paul to say.“But again, he’s one of those people who inspired me to become a songwriter.

attending the Cannes Film Festival last week, Scorsese visited Italy and had a conversation with Antonio Spadaro, editor-in-chief of the magazine “La Civiltà Cattolica” — translated to the “Catholic Civilization” — Monday.He revealed in the chat that he recently saw the pontiff, 86.“I responded to the Pope’s appeal to artists the only way I know how: by imagining and writing a screenplay for a film about Jesus,” he said. “And I’m about to start making it.”The “Aviator” director — who was raised Catholic and often deals with religious subjects in his films — also spoke with Spadaro about his acclaim for Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1964 epic “The Gospel According to St.

Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue and the actor wore a completely new look for the occasion. Fox is known for her and is no stranger to full glam, which is why this cover took many by surprise. Her and natural-looking freckles are such a departure from her usual vibe. While everyone was obsessing over being on one of the covers at 81 years old (no doubt, ), I was geeking out about Fox's pared back beauty look.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “It’s been about 25 years since I stood on this stage,” since Shania Twain, not long after the kickoff to her set Sunday night at the Hollywood Bowl. She had that figured about right — the calendar shows she last played America’s most favored amphitheater on May 6, 1999. That was a few weeks shy of the moment that her signature song among all signature songs, “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,” peaked on the charts. When she pulled it out as her inevitable final encore number Saturday, it still felt like it was cresting. It’s a song that may never have truly peaked until all the generations represented at the Bowl this Memorial Day weekend have passed away and/or the day the prerogative to have a little fun has been codified into the criminal as a felony. For as long as there are women, and gay men, and straight men relaxed with themselves enough to buy “Let’s go, girls” T-shirt and diode-blinking pink cowboy hats, Twain will own rights to the ultimate ladies’ night anthem, just as surely as she owns the federal trademark on exclamation points. (She does, doesn’t she?)

a trend of filming videos for social media showing them ranting over items in stores, aggressively confronting store employees, and even destroying Pride displays.Many conservatives subsequently accused Target of seeking to “indoctrinate” or “groom” children into either being LGBTQ themselves or being supportive of LGBTQ people.Citing threats it had received from irate shoppers, and a desire to protect their employees from potential violence, Target decided to pull Pride-themed children’s merchandise from stores, especially items incorporating rainbows or that use colors that traditionally have not been associated with a certain gender, such as boys’ clothes in pastel colors, notably pink.The store also pulled a line of adult swimsuits marketed for its ability to “tuck” genitalia for transgender women. Some right-wing outlets had previously reported that the “tuck-friendly” swimsuits were marketed to children, but the Associated Press later confirmed the swimsuits were only for adults.During the May 24 episode of her self-titled podcast for the Daily Wire, Owens asserted that Target was pushing an agenda through its Pride-themed merchandise, and encouraged conservatives to boycott the big box store.“[J]ust in case you think that conservatives are wrong or are joking when we say this stuff is satanic, Target actually hired a satanic designer,” Owens said, referring to another aspect of the Target controversy.
