Joe Satriani on Postponing Tour, Releasing New Album in the COVID-19 Era
Last month, Joe Satriani decided to postpone his European tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “I was pretty adamant about getting the ball rolling early,” he tells Rolling Stone from his home in San Francisco. “Because it was obvious.

Christopher Meloni’s Journey to ‘Law and Order: SVU’ and Back Again: A Look at His Life and Career
At this stage of the game, there is no surprise that Dick Wolf’s massively successful Law & Order continues ever onward and still manages to evolve in new directions — which it’s done since the concept was introduced to viewers 30 years ago. What probably is surprising, though, is that Christopher Meloni, who played Detective Elliot Stabler alongsi...

Little-known St. Corona is the new patron saint of pandemics
The strangest people find the strangest kind of fame in crisis. Take Saint Corona. She’s a curious saint who was all but forgotten by the Church. She’s what we refer to as an “obscure” saint. I don’t know where in heaven the saints live, but she’s on the outskirts and, while I’m sure her house would be a mansion to us, it’s probably a shack to the...
Returning to ‘cucina povera’
Like many across the U.S., my husband and I have been confronted by our own entitlement over the past few weeks. But — what if I want ice cream on a random Thursday night?
