On the morning of August 13th, Afghan-American actress and filmmaker Fereshta Kazemi was in her production office in Kabul, working on the trailer for her upcoming film, when she saw “Kandahar” trending on Twitter. The Taliban had just taken Afghanistan’s second-largest city, she learned; two more cities would fall later that day. Suddenly, the future Kazemi had imagined only moments before — “planning a screening, planning who’s going to come, which embassies” — began to dissolve, replaced with fear and uncertainty.⁠ ⁠ The news of the Taliban’s advance was devastating to millions of Afghans, but Kazemi had particular reason for concern. She has been a vocal feminist and advocate for women’s rights in a country that has historically had one of the world’s worst records of oppression. From 1996 to 2001, when the Taliban last controlled most of the country, they carried out mass executions and cut women out of public life, forbidding them from having jobs or getting an education.⁠ ⁠ Kazemi, who recently directed her first film, has not been afraid to comment on this, both explicitly and with the roles she’s taken and movies she’s produced. “Most of my work to date has a human rights angle,” she tells me. “It’s been a natural outcome of the many stories of violations of Afghan human rights, and [it’s] the most important subject matter that I believe art and film can address.”⁠ ⁠ As her country crumbled around her over the course of 72 hours, Kazemi plotted a narrow escape. Here is her story.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more. ⁠ ⁠ Photo by Hoshang Hashimi/Courtesy of Fereshta Kazemi

For 85 years, Lee Perry was many things: raconteur, sonic wizard, rhythmic innovator, talent scout, shit-stirrer, ladies’ man, boaster-on-the-mic, and by most accounts the greatest record producer in Jamaican history.⁠ ⁠ His discography as producer and guest star includes such titans as Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Clash, Beastie Boys, the Heptones, Junior Byles, the Congos, Max Romeo, and dozens more.⁠ ⁠ But Perry was a recording artist foremost, so with a couple of crucial exceptions, we’ve concentrated on the work he released under his own name or, interchangeably, that of the Upsetters. It’s just the tip of a steep mountain.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more about the Jamaican music legend's finest work.⁠ ⁠ Photo by David Corio/Redferns/Getty Images

An explosion took place outside the Kabul airport on Thursday, resulting in “a number of U.S. & civilian casualties,” according to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby, who added that at least one other explosion took place nearby.⁠ ⁠ The explosions came a day after the U.S. embassy warned Americans to stay away from the Hamid Karzai Airport, citing an unspecific threat. “U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately,” the advisory read.⁠ ⁠ Kirby noted that the explosion on Thursday, which he described as a “complex attack” took place outside the Abbey Gate, a main entry point to the airport. Multiple outlets have reported that the blast was the work of a suicide bomber.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more.

Steven Van Zandt’s new book, 'Unrequited Infatuations: A Memoir,' is a deep dive into the life of rock’s greatest consigliere. It traces his childhood in New Jersey, his first meetings with Bruce Springsteen in 1965, and their early days on the New Jersey bar circuit, the formation of the E Street Band, his work with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, his politically charged solo career and activism in the Eighties, and his unlikely transition to the world of acting on “The Sopranos” and “Lilyhammer.” One of the most pivotal moments in his life took place in 1982, when he decided to suddenly quit the E Street Band. They were coming off a massive album and tour with “The River” and finally starting to make huge money, with much more to come in the near future, thanks to “Born in the U.S.A.,” but Van Zandt walked away from all of it. He’s given various reasons for his decision in the past, but in this book he finally tells the whole story.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read an exclusive excerpt from his new memoir.⁠ ⁠ Photo: Andy Freeberg/Getty Images

It had been well over a year since Aaliyah Dana Houghton’s life was tragically cut short when a group of some of entertainment’s biggest stars, including Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah, Lil Kim, and Missy Elliott, came together to pay their respects to the R&B princess. Across two coasts and two shooting days, the stars gathered in a studio to record their cameos for the tribute music video for the posthumously released Aaliyah track “Miss You.” In the song, Aaliyah sings to a past lover who has since moved on from their relationship, but the song takes on new meaning in the hearts of her mourning friends and family.⁠ ⁠ The video was shot, edited, and released on MTV within a few weeks. It arrived like a collective moment of healing. The singer’s death shocked the entertainment world and seeing the biggest names in movies, music, and television pay tribute, made space for fans to grieve. “Miss You” would go on to be one of Aaliyah’s best-performing singles. While the video is mostly unavailable online today, thanks in part to ongoing copyright issues, it remains a powerful testament to the power Aaliyah had, at such a young age.⁠ ⁠ Rolling Stone spoke with some of the people who helped bring the video to life.

Charles Robert “Charlie” Watts, the Rolling Stones drummer, has died. He was 80.⁠ ⁠ Watts’ publicist confirmed his death in a statement. “It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Charlie Watts,” it read. “He passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today surrounded by his family.” The statement referred to Watts as “one of the greatest drummers of his generation” and closed by requesting that “the privacy of his family, band members, and close friends is respected at this difficult time.”⁠ ⁠ Watts’ death comes several weeks after it was announced that the drummer would not be able to partake in the Rolling Stones’ No Filter tour of U.S. stadiums. “Charlie has had a procedure which was completely successful, but his doctors this week concluded that he now needs proper rest and recuperation,” a rep for the band said in a statement at the time. “With rehearsals starting in a couple of weeks it’s very disappointing to say the least, but it’s also fair to say no one saw this coming.”⁠ ⁠ His light touch, singular rhythmic sense, and impeccable feel, as heard on canonical rock songs such as “Paint It, Black,” “Gimme Shelter” and “Brown Sugar,” made him both the engine that powered the Stones’ music and one one of the most famous and respected drummers of all time.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more.⁠ ⁠ Photo by George Wilkes/Hulton Archive/Getty Images

The House select committee investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol will seek electronic communications records of several hundred people, including members of Congress, according to the committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.).⁠ ⁠ According to CNN, which was first to report on the committee’s planning, the notices to telecom and social media companies requesting they preserve relevant documents are set to go out as soon as next week.⁠ ⁠ Thompson, who declined to name the companies or the lawmakers, said the panel will seek records phone, text and email records belonging to “several hundred people” and that the letters would request voluntary compliance and not include subpoenas yet.⁠ ⁠ “We have quite an exhaustive list of people. I won’t give you the names (of the companies). But, you know, in terms of telecom companies, they’re the ones that pretty much you already know, maybe the networks, the social media platforms, those kinds of things,” Thompson told reporters.⁠ ⁠ “I can tell you that we’ll look at everything that will give us information on what happened on January 6th,” Thompson told CNN. “We will look at all records at some point.”⁠ ⁠ Phone records of Rep.
