Jane Fonda for Rolling Stone, March 9th, 1978. "I had realized that I was in a real quandary in terms of human relationships, because most of the men that I had been with were real resentful and overpowered by who I was. Either resentful of my earning capacities, or that I was stifling them or overpowering them. I was denying my own abilities in order not to make them feel bad."

Will America finally lead on climate? President Biden offered John Kerry the job of international climate envoy, a newly created post that makes him part of Biden’s Cabinet as well as gives him a seat on the National Security Council. Kerry’s prominence and power within the administration is a sign of just how seriously Biden takes the climate crisis. Kerry’s mission: restore American leadership in international climate policy and push for greater ambition in the next round of U.N. climate talks, which will be held in Glasgow later this year. Nobody knows what’s at stake better than Kerry. If we fail, he said in a speech to the U.N. Security Council, the nations of the world will be “marching forward in what is almost tantamount to a mutual suicide pact.” Tap the link in bio to read an interview with John Kerry on how to restore America's climate leadership.

Crypto advocates want to engineer a new financial system for music that can support real-time revenue streams and ultimately hand much more power to the individual artist. The average music fan may be easily deterred by these conversations: Cryptocurrency is, well, cryptic, and articles on the subject tend to be filled with in-the-know jargon and lengthy digressions. So Rolling Stone has scoped out the landscape and, with the help of experts like Zach Katz, Shara Senderoff, Adam Alpert, and RAC, we’ll walk you through the genesis, potential applications, and latest developments in what crypto can mean for music.

‘The United States vs. Billie Holiday’ fails to take into account the life of the woman we still love. Lee Daniels’ new movie, which stars a charismatically downplayed Andra Day as the titular, completely singular, and in many ways unknowable Lady Day, is set primarily in the 1940s. It tells the story of Holiday’s life and career in the wake of the song “Strange Fruit” — her elegy to Black lives lost to decades of lynching in the long aftermath of the Reconstruction — making the airwaves, filling concert halls, and pissing off certain people. Among the aggrieved: the U.S. government. And one J. Edgar Hoover. Tap the link in bio to read K. Austin Collins' review. Photo: Takashi Seida/HULU
On Thursday, Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that a $15 dollar minimum wage could not be included in Democrats’ $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief bill, because they intend to pass it through the budget reconciliation process, which only requires a simple majority, instead of trying to convince at least 10 Republicans to support the cause. President Joe Biden’s press secretary said he was “disappointed” in the outcome, but he “respects the parliamentarian’s decision and the Senate’s process.” Now, Democrats have to choose between respecting some arcane Senate semi-rules and ensuring more than a million working Americans would no longer literally go hungry, and they seem, somehow, poised to pick the former. There are multiple options available to Biden if he is truly committed to the idea that, as he said in his statement on the ruling, “no one in this country should work full time and live in poverty.” For one thing, the president could just ask Kamala Harris, the president of the Senate, to overrule the parliamentarian. In fact, one former parliamentarian has said it’s entirely at the VP’s discretion to listen to MacDonough on a ruling like this one or not. And there is ample historical precedent for not listening to the parliamentarian — as Slate reports, “Vice President Hubert Humphrey routinely ignored his parliamentarian’s advice.” Tap the link in bio to read more.

Johnny Cash, born on this day in 1932, is arguably country music’s most cited influence by younger artists, but Cash wasn’t above being influenced himself. He was forever a student of music, always listening for songs that moved him, be they country or otherwise. Cash would even record his own versions of the songs, from the country-rock of the Stones‘ “No Expectations” to the poignant coda of Nine Inch Nails‘ “Hurt.” Tap the link in bio for the Man in Black’s 11 coolest covers.

George Harrison was born on this day in 1943. The youngest and the shyest of the Beatles, he retreated from the limelight early — but his life only got deeper, richer and wilder. Tap the link in bio to read about the private life of George Harrison. Photo: K & K Ulf Kruger OHG/Redferns/Getty
Nick Jonas has announced his third solo album, 'Spaceman,' sharing the title track on Thursday. The album will be released on March 12th via Island Records. Over a groovy, glittering beat, Jonas sings on “Spaceman” about feeling alone in a tumultuous world and the desire to rise above it all. He alludes to the 2020 election, the coronavirus pandemic, and ongoing inequality in the lyrics: “They say it’s a phase, it’ll change if we vote/And I pray that it will, but I know that it won’t/I’m a spaceman/Yeah, I’m a spaceman/And the numbers are high but we keep goin’ down/’Cause we ain’t supposed to live with nobody around/I’m a spaceman/Yeah, I’m a spaceman.” Tap the link in bio to listen.
