Bob Dylan accepted the annual MusiCares Person of the Year award on Friday night with a long speech that started with an acknowledgement of John Hammond—the legendary A&R man who signed Dylan to Columbia Records—and went on to thank many of the artists who helped popularize Dylan's work, including Peter, Paul & Mary, Jimi Hendrix, and Joan Baez. Dylan also challenged the critics who have long disparaged his singing voice, and spoke in sincere tribute to the work MusiCares does to support artists who need medical care. At the event, Dylan's songs were covered by stars including Beck, Neil Young, and Jackson Browne. (Los Angeles Times)

Her adversaries are the Twigs, a Chicago band who denied FKA Twigs's attempt to buy the rights to their name in 2013, when she was performing as Twigs.

Jack White has become embroiled in what some are calling "GuacamoleGate" after a student newspaper at the University of Oklahoma published White's concert rider—which included a detailed recipe for the guacamole contractually required to be available backstage. White criticized the newspaper from the stage when he played at the university last Monday, and his booking agency then told the school's student activities committee that the agency wouldn't be booking any more shows there. When that news broke, White's management issued a statement clarifying that White himself had not "blacklisted" the university, and additionally noting that the guacamole recipe was actually for the benefit of White's supporting crew: "We're not even sure he likes guacamole."
