A track on Lana Del Rey’s long-windedly titled ninth studio album, Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, out today, has launched the singer’s massive fanbase into a frenzy.

Think about the last time you got a cut or a scrape. Ouch, but no big deal. Just dig through your medicine cabinet for a band-aid, put it on, and you’re fine. It’s a small annoyance—but for many people, especially those with diabetes, any small wound can last for a while and become much more susceptible to infection.

Sophie B. Hawkins, the trailblazing singer-songwriter who shot to fame in the early ’90s on the backs of hits like “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” and “As I Lay Me Down,” has a lot going on that she can’t wait to talk about, namely the impending release of Free Myself, her first album in more than a decade. But first, she needs to tell us about the huge gray wolf she saw yesterday in her neighbor’s driveway.

One year ago, Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill was signed into law.

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll are all but guaranteed when setting a series in a no-holds-barred ’70s music scene. Considering Fleetwood Mac’s tumultuous trajectory provides the foundation for Daisy Jones & The Six, there is an increased expectation for band-destroying hot and heavy hookups that provided the fabric of this adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling novel.
