HEAL THYSELF, DR. CRANE

WALTER SCOTT ASKS... JOAN BAEZ • The “Diamonds and Rust” singer, 82, is known as a caring folk artist who fought for peace and social justice through her music and her actions. But there’s a lot more to her story: Joan Baez I Am A Noise (in select theaters Oct. 13) examines her work and life through a lens that goes beyond the music. From her early childhood to her final tour, it reveals her life through newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes, audio recordings and more.

The Don’t Miss List

KEANU & TAYLOR • Any celebrity news sends us to the Vault. What will we find? This week, it’s Keanu Reeves, who, with his band Dogstar, is releasing a new LP, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees. He was first on our cover in 2006. And Taylor Swift, who’s been on Parade twice, is making dating news and about to rock movie theaters on October 13 when Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour opens.

HOW THE HOBBIT INSPIRED RICHARD ARMITAGE’S NEW BOOK • You may know the multi-award-winning stage, screen and voice actor Richard Armitage from his roles as Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy, or as the serial killer Frances Dolarhyde in Hannibal—both stories inspired by books. Or you may have heard him narrate audiobook classics such as David Copperfield. Now, he’s making his own contribution to the literary world with Geneva, a chilling thriller set in the Swiss city. Armitage talked with Parade about the book and a coming screen adaptation.

REBA IS NOT SO Fancy • THE SINGING SUPERSTAR ON HER HUMBLE JOURNEY TO THE TOP, JOINING THE VOICE AND HOW COOKING WITH HER BEAU DURING COVID INSPIRED A TASTY NEW BOOK.

REBA’S SOUTHERN BURGER • “This is one of the tallest burgers you will ever see! Feel free to swap out store-bought pimento cheese, chow chow, seasoning and sauce if you want to keep things simple.”
