Indie Rock’s Failed Revolution, & Angelique Kidjo Plays Live

Studio 360

Jon Fine’s college band Bitch Magnet only sold a handful of records, but they had an outsized influence on 90s rock. After playing a sold-out reunion tour, Fine has a new memoir about what went wrong with indie rock. Angelique Kidjo explains how she’s expanding her range with new musical collaborations. And for falconers who have grown close to hawks over the centuries, the line between reality and fantasy has always blurred.
