Video: Tony Levin on the Chapman Stick and When He Bought His First Electric Bass
The Chapman Stick is a curious instrument that few play and even fewer have mastered. Tony Levin demonstrates the possibilities of this oddball gear and his experience playing it on tracks with King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, and many illustrious others.
Tony Levin discusses his youth as a bassist, desperately seeking the perfect instrument. Having looked far and wide, he met his match with Music Man basses, which he’s been devotedly using for the past few decades in legendary sessions such as John Lennon’s Double Fantasy.

Kelly Clarkson on Artists Using Their Voice For Good
“I don’t want to be trained to talk. I’m not a puppet, I have a brain. It’s weird, but I actually came with a brain, not just vocal cords, and it would be silly to not have an opinion. It would be a disgrace if I didn’t have an opinion. It would be a cruel irony to all these people who live in different countries who don’t have an opinion, and don’t count, for me not to take full advantage of all the opportunities that are laid before us here in this nation. I don’t want to hide the fact that I am successful, strong-minded, opinionated. Sometimes I get it wrong, but I learn — but I have a voice.”
– Kelly Clarkson, in New York Times
Gary Oldman Doesn’t Like His Acting In “Sid & Nancy”
Gary Oldman initially turned down the lead in Sid and Nancy, the punk movement having passed him by without making much of a mark. “I just thought it was a lot of noise, so I was concerned who would see Sid and Nancy? Who cares?” he says of the role that put him on the map. “But I rolled up my sleeves, studied the way I’ve always done. You immerse yourself. I lost a ton of weight and made myself very ill.” To this day, it is not one of his favorites. “I don’t think I’m very good in it,” he says.
