50 years of blues at Antone's
There have been venue owners who have been larger than life—Hilly Kristal (CBGB) and Doug Weston (Troubadour) come to mind—but few live-music club owners have ever lived in and for the music the way that Clifford Antone has. He also lived a life of extremes.

Philip Gourevitch on Gilles Peress's Photo from September 11th
It's all there in this photograph of first responders reduced to helpless bystanders in a wilderness of pulverized concrete. We cannot see what they see, but in their attitude of stricken astonishment we feel it—the recognition of the unrecognizable that confronted us on that Tuesday morning in September. We see them standing in that ashen pall, like the last survivors of a lost time, and it comes only as an afterthought that they appear not to notice the one other living thing we know was there—the photographer, my friend and colleague Gilles Peress.

COMMENT ILL ADVISED
Last month, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, demanded that Susan Monarez, the newly confirmed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fire senior officials at her agency and accept wholesale the recommendations of a handpicked panel of vaccine advisers whom he had installed. Monarez refused, and Kennedy asked for her resignation, just weeks after saying that he had “full confidence” in her “unimpeachable scientific credentials.”

CALLAS, GALAS
In a dressing room near the amphitheatre on Little Island, a makeup artist (James Kaliardos, standing) was pouring his attention and a wealth of beauty supplies onto a countertenor (Anthony Roth Costanzo, seated). “I chose a little of Lady Gaga’s makeup, a little of Rihanna's,” Kaliardos told Costanzo. “We have to bring the divas with us. From diva to diva.” Costanzo replied, “It’s communicable.”
