Seth Rogovoy's latest book for Oxford University Press is called Within You Without You: Listening to George Harrison(Oxford University Press, 2024). Often, biographies of musicians put the story of the subject’s life front and center, letting the music recede into the background. For a musician like George Harrison, this would be a mistake. George, the lead guitarist of the Beatles, sometimes referred to as the “quiet one,” was one of his generation’s greatest guitarists. He quietly steered the Fab Four in directions that made them legendary, through his innovative use of sitar or his thoughtful, self-reflective song-writing that contrasted with John’s ironic poetics and Paul’s cheery symphonies. A late-bloomer of sorts, George truly came into his own as a solo artist pursuing a rock and roll that centered spirituality and existential yearning.
Seth Rogovoy is the author of Bob Dylan: Prophet Mystic Poet and The Essential Klezmer: A Music Lover's Guide to Jewish Roots and Soul Music and contributing editor for The Forward.
In 1897, the visionary Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky discovered an equation that governed how rockets worked.
His equation, which was independently discovered by several other rocket scientists, immutably governs how we can send rockets into space.
The variables in his equation have determined everything surrounding spaceflight and rocketry since its inception and will for the foreseeable future.
Learn more about the Tyranny of the Rocket Equation on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
