Bob Dylan Doesn't Need to Fear Death. His Art Makes Him Immortal.
 
Rough and Rowdy Ways, Bob Dylan's 39th studio album, is his first collection of new, original songs since 2012. But the guy didn't go missing for those eight years: In that time, he released five discs of pop standards recorded by Frank Sinatra and six volumes of his "Bootleg Series" reissue packages (including an 18-CD box containing every note he recorded in the studio in 1965 and 1966 and a 36-disc set documenting his 1966 tour); launched the Heaven's Door line of whiskeys and appeared in a Chrysler ad; exhibited his paintings, drawings, and sculptures, was the subject of a documentary by Martin Scorsese chronicling the 1975 Rolling Thunder tour, played more than 500 concerts on his ongoing "Never-Ending Tour," and—oh, yeah—swung by Stockholm to pick up a Nobel Prize for Literature. Fan sites devoted to Dylan have no problem finding new material about the guy every single day (take it from me, as one of the freaks who reads them). Here, Alan Light reviews Dylan's latest, and discusses the legend's ability to inspire multiple generations while still staking new territory in an incomparable career. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Summer Is Sweater Vest Season. Yeah, Really—These 11 Options Prove It.
 
Brace yourself, folks, because I've got some big news and you might want to sit down for this one. The sweater vest, that oft-reviled knitwear nemesis of your youth—yes, the one you swore you'd never wear again—is well and truly back. And you know what? I couldn't be more stoked about it. The best way to wear the style now is by treating it exactly the opposite of the way you would when you were forced to "smarten yourself up" before heading to your second cousin's epic bar-mitzvah blowout. In other words, throw it on over virtually any piece in your closet, including the simplest of tees (maybe with the smallest hint of a chain peeking out underneath), and voila: a fully presentable fit! Sweater vests? For summer? Revolutionary. To help you acclimate to the idea, Esquire's Avidan Grossman rounded up some of the best styles to scoop now, so you can call dibs before all your boys hop on the wave and start shamelessly copying your swag.

A Rosita Beats a Negroni Any Day of the Summer
 
Think of a Rosita like a Negroni going through a rebellious phase. Instead of gin, you use tequila, a more guttural spirit. Campari lends the same bitterness, but you interplay two kinds of vermouth instead of one, then round out the drink with an herbaceous dash of Angostura. It is a globe-trotting cocktail, with stops made in Mexico, Italy, and Trinidad. It is eager to throw down. At the risk of sounding banal, it is a perfect summer cocktail. It is worth the effort.

One Glorious Basterd: A Retrospective of Brad Pitt's Hair
 
There may be no better, more consistent hair role model than Brad Pitt. While the man is, indeed, an incredible actor, he also has a firm understanding that a chiseled face and a mane worthy of a lion god have cemented him as a Hollywood icon. You like him in Troy, but you loved the way his hair blew in the wind. Don't let fragile masculinity get in the way of hardened fact. In this complex time where you may not have had a decent haircut in, say, three months, let's take time to honor and celebrate and uplift a man who has always had an established grip on haircare. (Well, at least until the Fight Club years; we all have our demons.) Let us exalt him, and the 30-plus years he has given us of excellent hair. Esquire's Justin Kirkland looks back fondly.

Here Are the 2020 Movies Streaming Online Early Due to the Pandemic
 
This has been a tough year in every sense of the word. And it certainly hasn't helped that the escape of the theater hasn't been an option when the real world is getting too real. Thankfully, movie studios quickly realized that releasing new films directly to consumers for home on demand was a necessary option in an extreme situation like the COVID-19 pandemic. Trolls: World Tour broke streaming records as one of our first pandemic-forced direct-to-digital hits—and it has since caused a ripple effect that might change how Hollywood game plans its big releases going forward. Since Trolls changed the game, we've seen a ton of other studios follow suit, and (praise Queen Poppy), we've had the early release of several other films that were originally planned for a theatrical release. From horror hits like The Invisible Man, to true-life looks like Just Mercy, here's a list of movies that are streaming early due to the coronavirus pandemic. And for a more curated list, many of our best movies of 2020 are available to stream already as well. Read More
