Victory Boyd is an extraordinarily talented young performer whose poignant music and magnetic sound—a fusion of folk, funk and rhythm and blues—resounds beyond any single genre, and has been compared to that of legendary artists Tracy Chapman, Roberta Flack, and Nina Simone. Her distinctive vocals provide a rich mosaic of raw sentiment, revelatory honesty, and heightened poeticism. Her piercing voice ranges from fiery and bold to vulnerable and melancholy, and tenderly blend unvarnished truth with channeled emotion that penetrates the soul.
Victory’s personally-charged songs bookmark moments in her evolution. Her vulnerabilities have helped her shape a textured and layered sound that is self-expressive, reflective, and relatable. Her matchless storytelling gift mixes thought-provoking lyrics with the truth, pains and complexities of life through a variety of sonic narratives. She creates unchartered music that resonates with the human experience and that is garnering her adoration and acclaim by ever-expanding audiences.
“My goal is to capture the difficulties and challenges of the human experience, and to speak hope to these situations, sharing a sense of triumph and victory within all who hear my music,” Victory says.
Along her journey, Victory has embraced a wide swath of musical influences, from Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Billy Holiday, and Marvin Gaye, to Corrine Bailey Rae, Ms. Lauryn Hill, John Boyd, and Ella Fitzgerald. Whether she’s performing classics or original compositions, Victory skillfully tailors each song to fit her unique and ever-evolving style.
Victory recently received worldwide praise for writing two of the top-performing and most requested hit songs on Kanye West’s highly anticipated album “Jesus is King.” The chart-topping songs “God Is” and “Closed on Sunday” helped propel the album to its number one debut on the charts and catapulted Victory to become one of today’s most sought after singer/songwriters.
A native of Detroit and now a New Yorker, Victory grew up in a family of musicians, including her parents and eight siblings. At age four she began performing in the Boys and Girls Choir of Detroit, founded by her parents and modeled after the famous Boys and Girls Choir of Harlem. Victory performed with the Detroit choir for almost ten years, learning many aspects of music, including rhythm, harmony, improvisation, vocal performance, and ear training. In 2011, she took the initiative to aggressively learn to play the guitar. With her deep musical history, she excelled and quickly developed command over the instrument.
Victory and her siblings, Abraham and Angel, regularly sang together as a trio, and in 2012 they became an official band, taking on the name, Infinity’s Song. Later, younger siblings Israel and Thalia Mosaia (aka Momo) joined the band. Victory and her family performed regularly in Central Park for many years, delighting tourists and New Yorkers from their spot at the Bethesda Fountain, and building a fiercely loyal fan base.
Victory expanded her repertoire even further by studying music theory, composition, and recording—artfully writing, arranging, and threading together her own raw, vulnerable, captivating sound.
In 2016, Victory captured the attention of rap superstar JAY Z, who personally signed her and Infinity’s Song to the RocNation music label. Since then, she has gained extensive experience in studio recording, directing, live performance, and leading full bands as she integrates rhythm, horn, and string sections. Her command of instruments, coupled with her vocal aerobics and lyrical mastery, allowed her to successfully produce her own EP and debut album (“The Broken Instrument”) and have made her one of modern music’s brightest stars—and one of RocNation’s most treasured artists.
With her seductive, soaring, and expressive sound, Victory recently performed live on a number of high profile television programs, including “Good Morning America,” where she was interviewed by anchor Robin Roberts, and on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” where she performed her hit “Jazz Festival.” As she continues to forge a vibe and cadre all her own, Victory recently wrote and released the soundtrack for Russell Stover’s wildly popular national commercial, “I Wanna Make You Happy.”
With her arresting beauty, distinctive voice, and eclectic music, Victory has delivered dynamic performances to her rapidly-growing fan base—from the Montreal Jazz Festival to the roaring ovation she received for her acoustic guitar rendition of the national anthem at a Saints-Panthers NFL playoff game in 2018. She performed at the BET Her Awards, captivated audiences at major corporate events, and has headlined a myriad of exclusive private performances for high wattage notables such as Robert F. Smith, Ken and Kathy Chennault, Mike Novogratz, and Armand De Brignac.
As Victory prepares to release her sophomore album, “Confessions of a Lonely Girl,” in the year of 2020, she’s sure to cement her eminent status as one of music’s most talented and charismatic rising stars


The Short Story
Korbe Canida is an indie folk/rock singer songwriter and musician from Phoenix, AZ. In January 2012, Korbe debuted her quirky, heartfelt and truth telling identity as a musician as a solo artist. With the support of her loyal following and fanbase who cheerfully crown themselves as the Korbe Canida “Lovelies”, Korbe successfully met the goals allocated for her Kickstarter campaign and was able to both jump start the release of her debut EP, The Siren and The Sailor, and set out on her first tour throughout the West Coast of America in February of 2015. Korbe has since pursued the development of her sound, playing various shows and festivals across the country, writing new well loved material, and acquiring a four-piece band to join her in her artistry on the road.
The Slightly Longer Story
Korbe Canida is an indie folk/rock singer-songwriter and musician from Phoenix, AZ. Korbe captivates through her emotionally exposed and relatable style. Though immersed in the arts from a young age with an ardent focus on acting and musical theater, it was during the bitter winter of 2010 spent attending The New York Conservatory for The Dramatic Arts that Korbe would realize her life was a much darker place without music. After many hours of unabashed begging and pleading, Korbe was given her first guitar by her Mother. From this moment on, her creative focus transitioned. By the 1st of January in 2012, Korbe played her first open mic in Phoenix. Impressible for both her and the audience at toe, she then returned to New York and vowed to play one open mic a week for the remainder of the year, establishing her quirky, heartfelt and truth telling identity as a musician.
With the support of her loyal following of fellow musicians, music lovers, and fanbase who cheerfully crown themselves as the Korbe Canida “Lovelies”, Korbe successfully met the goals allocated for her Kickstarter campaign and was able to not only jumpstart the release of her debut EP, The Siren and The Sailor, but managed to set out on her first tour throughout the West Coast of America. Since, Korbe has relentlessly pursued the development of her artistry, playing various shows across the country, attending renowned music conferences as a hand-selected attendee, writing new well-loved material and hitting her second tour. Recently Korbe was the sole winner out of 3500 artists to be offered a recording contract from Chesky Records out of NYC, only to turn it down in order to maintain artistic control of her career, and her song "I Can't Do This Alone" will be featured in the upcoming James Franco movie "Actors Anonymous". In keeping with the title of that song, Korbe now has a full band in order to compliment her powerful, soaring vocal style. With music now being Korbe’s full time pursuit and the acquisition of a four-piece band, she is excited for and open to new experiences as an artist through creative cultivating and collaborations.


A poll was published this week announcing that British parents think Kate Middleton is the best role model for young women. Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus were voted the worst. Forgive me (and I’ll probably be rejected from multiple parenting groups for saying this) but if I had a daughter I would actually rather she be a bit more like Nicki Minaj (or Miley Cyrus) than Kate Middleton.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying Nicki Minaj or Miley Cyrus were role models, but at least they have a talent and have been driven enough to make a career out of it. They are successful business women, whatever people may think of them personally, and they have the freedom to express themselves and live their lives in the way they choose. I am sure Kate Middleton is a very nice person but her family have made no secret of the fact she was ‘born and bred’ to be a princess. She has devoted her life to being the wife of someone born into enormous privilege. She has given up her own career, her own voice and opinion in order to fall in line with a royal brand. If this would be what would become of my daughter, I’d actually rather she wore a skimpy outfit of her choosing (it is very clear Kate no longer gets to choose such minor things as clothing) and sang on a questionable record. She would have achieved something and it would have been on her own terms.
I find it fairly ludicrous anyway that someone would choose a ‘role model’ whom they don’t actually know. My role models would have to be my parents, my sister, my uncle Jack and a few family friends. Despite what the tabloids may want us to think, we know very little about these women. We may feel we know their media personality but even the most outspoken artists are carefully managed by their teams. We don’t know them – yet somehow people want to become them.
If we have to have so-called ‘role models’ let’s at least make them inspiring. Malala Yousafzai, against all the odds, opened a school recently (on her 18th birthday) for Syrian refugee girls and called on world leaders to invest in “books not bullets”. Unfortunately this news was overshadowed in the media as one of the Kardashians also turned 18 that week and was given a Ferrari for doing absolutely nothing. If we want young women to have good role models then I suggest we start talking about some of them.
When I was younger I desperately wanted to be Ginger Spice. I loved her hair (I used to be down at the chemist buying those terrible 99p red hair dye sachets like a pigeon on a chip), I loved her style (I used to take my mum’s old-curtain-esque long skirts, rip them up at the sides and flounce about in them) but most of all I loved her attitude (several vile pictures still exist of me flipping the Spice sign). However, it turned out she was more ‘human’ than ‘idol’ – well, what did I expect? A series of eating disorders, broken relationships and a stint in rehab made me swiftly move onto the ill-fated All Saints (more disappointment there as, surprise surprise, they were real people not the cardboard cutouts the record companies wanted us to believe they were).
Safe to say I learned my lesson about having A-list role models – don’t. What you see is not the real world, and you’re admiring something which doesn’t exist.
Let’s try and give young women something higher to aim for. Maybe a Nobel Prize winning person, maybe an athlete, a family member, a teacher or even a politician – just don’t make it someone without a point of view. Young women need someone inspiring to look up to. It’s up to us to help them find them.

“It’s kind of liberating. I think everyone should do it once,” Eggold announced, running his hand over his bristly crew cut.
Previewing the return of his character, Tom Keen, to “The Blacklist” this week, the actor teased: “There’s a new Tom coming.” But he didn’t give many details. Eggold knows how to keep the many secrets of the show under his hat along with his new crew cut: He doesn’t even tell his parents, who watch the show (and don’t really want spoilers anyway).
But he did have one big reveal to share: Tom Keen is on the infamous blacklist! (For the unitiated, each episode of the series is named after one of the many bad men and women James Spader’s character, Red Reddington, wants to cross off his “blacklist.”)
“I will tell you that Tom Keen is on the blacklist,” Eggold allowed. “I think he’s No. 7.”
This does not bode well.

In Toronto on Wednesday for the Shaw Media UpFront presentation to advertisers, Boone and Eggold sat down with Global News to talk about season one and what might be ahead.
Did you know from the beginning that Tom wasn’t who he appeared to be?
Megan Boone: I knew about the Tom reveal and that made it a very unique experience because when you know all along what’s coming you have to play against that a little bit.
Ryan Eggold: There were different incarnations of Tom. I knew there was something coming and then as the season went on it sort of took shape and was constantly shifting in a great way.
Do you think Tom really wanted to have a baby with Liz or was it only part of his cover?
RE: That’s a great question that I haven’t thought about. There’s two possibilities. One is that he only wanted it as a manipulation to keep her closer, to make their bond tighter. The other thing is that he genuinely wanted it. Both of which are interesting.
MB: It was his job, like he said in one of the episodes. His job was to make Liz feel like everything was OK, everything was going fine. She built a life and he was very cognizant of what kind of life she wanted to build so he catered to that in every way possible.

After Leaving JYP Entertainment, What's Next For GOT7 Members?
GOT7 is one of the leading boy groups of the third generation of KPOP together with BTS and EXO. They debuted on January 16, 2014 under JYP Entertainment and produced the hits "Just Right," "Hard Carry," "You Calling My Name," and "Lullaby." Last November 2020, they released the album "Breath of Love: Last Piece" which is somehow a premonition of what would happen next.
Non-Renewal of Contract
With the album title, Ahgases already had a hint that GOT7 will finally leave JYP Entertainment. Also, the septet's contract is bound to end on January 19, 2921. By the way, GOT7 fans are called IGOT7. But it sounds like the Korean word "Ahgase" that translated to "baby bird" in English.
Ahgases' hints became more true when the members, Park Jinyoung and Kim Yugyeom, announced that they are in talk to sign to an acting agency (BH Entertainment) and a hip hop label (AOMG) respectively. And it also seems that behind the scenes, there is some drama going on as the face of JYP Entertainment, Park Jin Young, unfollowed GOT7 members Bambam, Jinyoung, and Mark on Instagram. But the confusion finally ended when JYP released a statement on January 11, 2021 about the group's departure from the agency.
A New Beginning for Both GOT7 and IGOT7
As sad as it may seem to see your favorite group go on their separate ways, Ahgases are actually more relieved about the news. The reason is that for years, they saw how JYP Entertainment mismanaged GOT7. There is a lack of promotion during comebacks, not releasing the group's albums on Amazon, and inaction whenever the members struggle with privacy issues are just some of their complaints.
Even if the group decided to leave JYP, they keep on assuring Ahgases that they will be back together. They did not officially disband and with the right process, they can claim their trademark right from their previous agency. With this in mind, both GOT7 and IGOT7 will move forward with a positive mindset that everything will be okay and in the future.
Right now, the group's leader, JB, is receiving offers from both a hip hop and a global music label. Mark is back in Los Angeles, CA to reunite with his family and start a Youtube Channel. Jinyoung signed an exclusive contract in BH Entertainment to focus on his acting career. Jackson will just continue working with music and fashion on his own label, Team Wang. Youngjae is now starting to work as a solo artist under Sublime Artist Agency. Bambam is in talks with MakeUS Entertainment to work on his activities both in Thailand and South Korea. And lastly, Yugyeom is continuing his music career at the hip hop label, AOMG.
When GOT7's contract with JYP ended, the members posted a happy group photo with the hashtag #GOT7FOREVER. This is a promise to all Ahgases that they will forever cherish the bond that they had built for 7 years. And in the right time, they will see each again.


Last Minute Song Change
We’ve replaced one of the songs planned for the album. ‘Unlike Other Guys’ just didn’t sound right. I think it’s probably best recorded live. Doing it track by track didn’t work for the song. In its place is an acoustic number called ‘Superstar’. It’s an old one about an imagined pop star and his fame. Think it actually makes the album stronger now. Can’t wait to get to the end of everything.

She also intakes lots of water to keep her skin hydrated. She uses a face mask prepared of Gram flour (besan), milk, and turmeric powder (Haldi ). Her beauty routine includes a cucumber face pack to get rid of skin problems & yogurt to hydrate her skin. To eradicate toxins from her skin, she uses a mixture of honey, lemon, and hot water, which she applies as a moisturizer on her skin every morning.
2. Deepika Padukone:
Deepika has a natural glow that is hard to impressionist. She personifies the young, modern Indian woman and her sneering laughter is certainly effective. But, we can try to follow a few modest rules that she lives by. At night, she advises that removing all the makeup before sleeping is the most important thing to do, and she removes whatever makeup she wears and smears a hydrating night cream. She considers healthy food intake and hates the idea of crash dieting. Her skincare routine, which comprises cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, is vital for her. She uses mild soaps and pampers in clean-up periods frequently. Her daily skincare regime includes using a moisturizer with SPF during the day, lip balm, and a neutral foundation in need. A relishing body massage with hot oil is her idea of eventual relaxation. She also frequently gets a tender coconut hair massage to keep her hair looking good.
3. Katrina Kaif (Barbie doll):
India’s Barbie doll, The ‘Barbie Doll’ of Bollywood, is blessed with polished skin and a glittering smile. Even in the simplest dress, she is one of the most beautiful divas Bollywood has ever seen. Katrina has an everyday intake of acai berry tablets to keep her skin healthy. She loves going and spending the relax time in spas. It eases her body & mind, ultimately giving her glowing and flawless skin. In one of the Vogue India issues, she used wheat-grass powder daily in her drink. Coming on to her hair, she has mentioned on numerous occasions that she uses Kiehl’s beauty products on her hair, i.e., Kiehl’s Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairation Hair Pack and Kiehl’s Leave-In Hair Conditioner. In case of a quick remedy, she uses Kerastase product on her hair. The secret of Kat’s shapely yet fit body is her dedication to various procedures of exercise, comprising swimming & gymming.
A delight to watch is what most will describe Katrina as. Looking perfect almost always, she transfers off any look naturally. She also can carry off the no-make-up look with comfort. Katrina also uses mineral mud face masks for her skin and never steps out without applying sunscreen to her skin.
4. Kareena Kapoor:
Who does not love Bebo? Maybe because of her attitude not, but she’s one of the very rare actresses who is unsurprisingly naturally fair and beautiful. All praise to her genes!! Everyone knows that she is a purely vegetarian; her daily consumption of lots of fresh fruits & vegetables has helped her lot to have healthy and glowing skin. For her beauty routine, she evades using any creams due to the tough chemical fillings and instead uses only Lancôme Face Wash. In addition, she uses YSL & Chanel beauty products for her eye makeup and MAC for her face.
Sharing the secret of her lovely lock, she references oiling her hair once a month with a mixture of almond, castor, coconut & olive oils. In addition, she uses Kerastase Shampoo, especially for dry hair & follows it with a blow dry. As for the success of her size zero figure, she contributes importance to her daily practice of Ashtanga & Power Yoga.
5. Shilpa Shetty:
I like sharing the beauty secrets of the longest celebrity passion, Shilpa Shetty. I love her for her remarkable figure, but she’s a great beauty, which is one of the reasons why the ‘goras’ admire her so much. She swears the product is Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer. She is firmly against the usage of soap on her face. Also, she’s known to cleanse her face, skin & eradicate her makeup with a combination of baby oil and coconut oil. Coming onto her hair, have you ever observed Shilpa’s hair? Its constant appearance is so shiny despite her boundless highlights!! Well, that is because she ensures not to use hair straighteners. She only blows and dries her hair which is one of the causes why, unlike other celebrities, her hair never looks dry. Also, she believes in changing her shampoo & conditioner frequently as she believes the same product bases build up.
As for her beautiful and exquisite figure, all the acclaim goes to her regular yoga & gym routine. The first thing she does in the morning is to drink Aloe Vera juice because she believes it is excellent for her immune system and for her skin. Shilpa Shetty is the ideal body type for any woman. If you also aspire to have a figure like her, then here you go, start following her beauty and health regimen from now.
6. Karishma Kapoor:
B elonging to the Kapoor Khandan is certainly the cause for her peaches and cream skin! Karishma Kapoor’s picture looks attractive and beautiful even without a touch of makeup, and her high tress hairstyle helps to boost her structures wonderfully.
She follows a strict diet chart to keep her skin and hair healthy. Here is her diet plan:
In Breakfast: 2 slices of whole wheat bread with veggies
In Lunch: Fruit Salad
Snack: Grilled Sandwich or Dhokla or Prawns
Dinner: Chicken Breast and roasted veggies.
She also does a variation of this diet with brown rice, steamed fish, or chicken and has 2-3 egg whites daily to keep up the protein consumption.

Than Hussein Clark ”The Paintings of Selma Vaz Dias” at Damien & The Love Guru, Brussels
If exhibitions are an attempt to translate and stage an idea in space, this exhibition might be said to be an an attempt at translating the name of an actress – Selma Vaz Dias – into a kind of portrait within the stage of the gallery. Such a portrait is difficult task -in the words of WH Auden, “Proper Names are Poetry in the raw. Like all poetry, they are untranslatable.” My admiration for actresses I would hope at this point is well known, my affection for this particular actress is perhaps not.
Selma Vaz Dias, born in 1911 in Amsterdam, she came to England aged eleven and was schooled in this country and then: ‘ trained as an actress at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (R.A.D.A.) where she was discovered at the age of sixteen for her first West-end part – the lead in Red Rust opposite John Gielgud and Ion Swinley. These were followed by: The Matriarch, with Mrs Patrick Campbell, and a season at the then new Westminster Theatre under Tyrone Guthrie. Notable among the many and various parts she played are: Sara Disraeli in Young Mr Disraeli, the mother in Golden Door on television, Anne Marie in the original production of Thunder Rock and Gisela in Dark Summer. She was the first Solange in Jean Genet’s The Maids, played in the original French at the Royal Court Theatre and later in an English version. Subsequently she played the leading part of Irma in Genet’s world premiere of The Balcony at the Arts Theatre. She also appeared on stage as the Ratwife in Little Eyolf at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith and The Mother in Jaques at The Royal Court Theatre. Well known on films, television and radio, she was the first actress to do an hour’s monologue on the Third Programme – her own adaptation of Good Morning Midnight by Jean Rhys. Selma translated several plays for television, the Third Programme and the stage. Although of Dutch origin, she had the honour of playing Queen Elizabeth I of England in the first performance in this country of Son et Lumiere at Greenwich Palace with Sir Laurence Olivier. This was her second appearance at The Theatre Royal, the first being in Don Juan or The Love of Geometry with Eric Porter and Moira Shearer.
At Damien & The Love Guru, Brussels
until 24 October 2019


Heavy metal legends Judas Priest have released a new song “Trial By Fire,” the second single from their upcoming studio album, Invincible Shield.
Invincible Shield is set to drop on March 8, 2024 via Sony Music. The band had previously released the band’s first single, “Panic Attack.” The album will be the band’s first album in six years following 2018’s Firepower.
Judas Priest announced their long-awaited 19th studio album Invincible Shield during their live performance at Indio, California’s Power Trip festival.
The band filled in for former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, who was scheduled to headline at the festival but withdrew due to ongoing health issues.
Judas Priest have been working on Invincible Shield on and off for the past few years. Earlier this year, guitarist Richie Faulkner told Heavy Consequence, “We’ve been working on a record for quite a while now. That got halted a little bit because of the COVID lockdowns. We’ve been trying to get that finished.”

Lindsay Lohan has starred in more than 27 movies, appeared in 8 different TV-shows, hosted Saturday Night Live five times, been nominated for 44 awards and won 22 of them. What has Perez done in his years of “fame”? Talked shit about celebrities online.
like i said before, hes a pig.


Gossip girl here…
So excited, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is taking place once again this September. I love when all the celebrities hit the town.
I’ve been to the festival twice in the past. Once to a Gala at the Roy Thompson Hall with friends to see Nicole Kidman, Gary Sinise and Anthony Hopkins. Nicole Kidman is TALL. I’ve also been to a smaller theatre and was able to listen to the Q & A at the end of the movie. So fun! Miss those days.
I’m a little celebrity obsessed (okay more than a little). The Husband doesn’t get it. He could care less. I remember a few years ago, Chris, Mich and I vacationed in LA. Mich and I could spot celebrities all over town. We just had to give each other the eye as if to say, “Is that? Yes. OMG!” We didn’t even have to say who we were both thinking of. We just knew. Chris on the other hand – CLUELESS. He’s like, “Who? Where? What are they in?” He can be so loud sometimes, and the least bit subtle. Honestly, Mich and I stopped sharing it with him until well after the fact. We were trying to play it COOL.
All you have to do is take a drive down Avenue Road past Yorkville – all the crazies are out in full swing. The Four Seasons is probably crowded with people anxious to spot a celebrity. Sadly, I will not be doing it!
I have many celebrity crushes. The list constantly changes. But I do have a few everlasting crushes, like Paul Rudd, Johnny Depp, & Matt Czuchry. Love them!
What films do you want to see? I hear Moneyball is getting great reviews. As is, Ryan Gosling (Yum) and George Clooney’s movie, The Ides of March. Apparently the buzz is really about Clooney who is now dating Stacy Keibler. I’m in the know Wish I was part of the elite!
Are you lucky enough to go to TIFF this year? Let me know who you spot! Let’s play the celebrity game.


To commemorate the release of Darubisshu-P's GUMI awesome "Vocarock" album "High Gain Street"
and his utaite tribute album "chronosing",
we're bringing you a live performance, PV and guitarist talk with the one and only Darubisshu-P!
Born in Ishikawa prefecture on November 11th, 1983.
Vocaloid creator and guitarist.
Started his guitar career when he heard of the band "Glay" in his second year of middle school.


The new parents, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, were after all considered country music royalty.
“I think it was more a gesture than anything else,” Georgette Jones said with a laugh. “Billy Sherrill was such great friends with my parents and they had such a love for each other’s music that I think he wanted first dibs if I had a music career.”
Jones, the only child of country legends Tammy Wynette and George Jones, will kick off the “Balloons over RussVegas” hot air balloon festival at the Russellville Center for the Arts on the campus of Russellville High School. Jones said the May 1 show will be a tribute show featuring her parents’ music.
With both having passed away, Wynette in 1998 and George Jones just last April, Jones felt it was very important to keep their memory and their music alive. Wynette and Jones married in 1969, and Georgette was born in 1970. As she grew, music was all around her as was the media attention her famous parents attracted.
In 2011, Jones released a book, “The Three of Us, Growing Up Tammy and George.”
Jones said she had read a book written about her mother the previous year and wanted to set the record straight on who her mother really was.
“She had a wonderful sense of humor and was strong and independent,” Jones said. “She believed in living life to the fullest.” She said both of her parents weren’t really the way they were portrayed in the media.
While her father was cast as hard-core and someone who liked to party, she said people didn’t know he was light-hearted with a fantastic sense of humor and an old-fashioned way about him. Jones and Wynette divorced in 1975, and Georgette’s time with her parents became divided.
Because of their schedules, Jones said, she never saw her dad that much when she was younger. She said it meant so much to her when she recorded “Daddy Come Home” with her father when she was 10 years old. “I really did mean every word,” she said.
As she continued to grow, Jones knew she loved music, but she’d seen the impact its touring and schedules had on her family.
“I put off a music career for my family, and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made,” she said. Jones was a nurse for many years while raising her two children, who are now in college.
Her mother’s death on April 6, 1998, impacted Jones deeply.
“I couldn’t even listen to her music until about a year later. Then there came a point when it was helpful and I enjoyed it,” Jones said. “I missed music so much.”
She said this led to her writing more music and thinking about a music career. The progression to her pursuing music was about a five-year process.
“I was not the kind of person who would randomly quit my job,” she said. “I was in between nursing jobs and got the chance to perform in Ireland.”
She said this was the first time she went out on her own as a musician.
“So much happened on this trip,” Jones said. “I met my husband and a man from Texas with Heart of Texas Records who offered to give me a record label. I didn’t have another job lined up, and I thought maybe I should try it.”
“I’m more ‘me’ than I’ve ever been,” she said of her current work, adding her music has more of an earthy sound than her parents’ country classics.
Jones said during the May 1 show in Russellville, she’ll share stories of how certain songs came about and she’ll tell stories about her parents’ lives in hopes the audience gets to know who they really were as people.
Tickets are $25 and $20. Call (417) 336-6060 or visit www.balloonsoverrussvegas.com for tickets.


WOMEN MAKING HISTORY
(b. October 3, 1864, Bucharest, Romania – d. February 17, 1947, Paris, France)
Elena Văcărescu gained notoriety as a writer and translator, but also as a veritable ambassador of Romanian culture in the world. As a member of Romanian aristocracy, she received a prestigious education from an early age. Through her English governess she became familiar with the English literature and later she would complete her studies in Paris.
On returning to the country, Elena Văcărescu joined the suite of Queen Elizabeth, wife of King Carol I. With the support of the sovereign, she published a collection of Romanian folk songs, translated into German, English, French, Italian, for which she received an award of the French Academy in 1900.
She was later forced to leave Romania because Ferdinand, the future king, fell in love with her and their relationship was considered detrimental in political terms. She settled in Paris, where she became a famous member of the literary and artistic scene. From there, she continued to collaborate with both Romanian and French newspapers. She never ceased to promote Romanian interests. In recognition of her efforts, Elena Văcărescu was co-opted in the Romanian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. Furthermore, she was appointed General Secretary of the Romanian Association of the League of Nations, working closely with the famous diplomat Nicolae Titulescu. On June 11, 1925, to reward her artistic and diplomatic merits, she was made an honorary member of the Romanian Academy.


The Nobel-prize winning novelist Doris Lessing passed away on Sunday morning in London at the age of 94.
In this 2003 interview, Bill spoke with Lessing about what she called her “compulsive” passion for writing, growing up in Africa, the flower children of the 1960s, her time as a communist, the lasting impacts of war and how she handled accusations by her friends that she was “narrow-minded and an old grouch.”
At the time of the interview, the US was on the verge of invading Iraq. This is what she said, less than two months before the war began: “Bush is going to ride into Iraq with guns blazing. And then everything will be cleared up and then he will ride out again. But it’s not going to be like that. The casualness of it is what is so terrifying.”

Harding-Browning back on, most likely
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Former figure skater Tonya Harding's bout on the undercard of the Mike Tyson fight Saturday was revived when the former heavyweight champion agreed to show up for the main event.
"Actually, (Harding) was on her way out when we called her'' with the news that Tyson planned to fight, said Nicole Whittington, spokeswoman for the fight.
Tyson suddenly announced on Tuesday he would fight Clifford Etienne, after his camp canceled the fight 24 hours earlier -- though Etienne now says he won't fight. Tyson hasn't done much training in the past week, and missed flights to Memphis on Sunday and Monday.
Harding, 32, will have her first professional bout against 21-year-old Samantha Browning, a first-time fighter from Mantachie, Miss. Harding does have a non-professional bout on her resume, beating Paula Jones on a Fox TV's Celebrity Boxing special last year. Jones found fame accusing former President Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct.
Harding's figure skating career ended in 1994 after she was linked to an assault plot to keep rival Nancy Kerrigan out of the Olympics.
A spokesman said Browning was ``ready to go'' for the fight against Harding.


Sean opens up episode 27 discussing a particular message he got on twitter from a moron. Next he talks about how he made the transition from being a professional athlete to a professional actor. Avery credits the importance of putting yourself in uncomfortable situations every day to achieve success– that is the name of the game. The harder you work, the better your life will be. He also remembers a very wild party he went to after winning the Stanley Cup in 2002 where Kid Rock performed a full live set at a yacht club.

Did Michael Jackson Fake His Death
The mysterious circumstances surrounding Michael Jackson’s death have led to a myriad of theories and speculations. One intriguing idea that has captured the public’s imagination is the notion that the King of Pop faked his own death. In this article, we will delve into the various claims and arguments surrounding this theory, examining the evidence and shedding light on whether there is any validity to the idea that Michael Jackson might have orchestrated his own disappearance.
The Origins of the Theory
The theory of Michael Jackson faking his death originated shortly after his passing in June 2009. Fans and conspiracy theorists alike started analyzing the details surrounding his death and began to question the official narrative.
Motives Behind Faking Death
Various alleged motives for faking his death are often cited. These include escaping the pressures of fame, avoiding legal troubles, or simply seeking a peaceful life away from the public eye.
Inconsistencies in the Reports Supporters of the theory point out inconsistencies in the reports surrounding Jackson’s death. From conflicting accounts of his health condition to the sudden nature of his passing, these inconsistencies have fueled speculation.
Did Michael Jackson Fake His Death
Conspiracy theories around faked celebrity deaths are not new. The case of Elvis Presley is often cited as a precedent, where some believe the iconic singer staged his death to escape his demanding celebrity life. Also read about Who Killed Tupac| Exploring Theories and Speculations
Some theorists claim that Michael Jackson left behind cryptic clues and symbolism in his music and public appearances, hinting at his plans to fake his death. These hidden messages are said to be indicative of his desire to vanish from the spotlight.
Challenges to the Theory
Critics argue that faking one’s death would come with an immense emotional toll on the individual and their loved ones. They question whether Jackson would be willing to put his family and fans through such a traumatic experience.
Skeptics point out that despite the abundance of theories, there is a lack of concrete evidence to support the claim that Jackson faked his death. The absence of substantial proof weakens the credibility of the theory.
Legal and Logistical Challenges
Faking a death involves complex legal and logistical challenges. Critics highlight the difficulties of orchestrating a disappearance without leaving behind a trail of evidence that could lead authorities to uncover the ruse. Also read about How Long Does CBD Stay in Your System
Whether or not the theory holds any truth, the idea that Michael Jackson faked his death has left a lasting impact on popular culture. It has sparked discussions, inspired artistic creations, and become a topic of fascination.
Preserving the Mystique
Proponents of the theory argue that faking his death could have been a strategic move to preserve Jackson’s mystique, allowing him to be remembered for his music and art rather than his personal controversies.
The Intrigue of Michael Jackson’s Demise
The enigmatic circumstances surrounding Michael Jackson’s passing have given rise to numerous theories, one of the most compelling being the speculation that he might have staged his own death. Delving into the depths of this theory, we’ll sift through the evidence and evaluate the plausibility of the claim. Did Michael Jackson Fake His Death? Almost immediately after Michael Jackson’s untimely demise, skeptics began questioning the official version of events. This theory found fertile ground among fans who were unwilling to accept his sudden departure.
A Quest for Escape
Proponents of the theory posit that Jackson, burdened by the weight of his fame and the legal troubles he faced, might have seen faking his death as a way to escape the relentless scrutiny and live a quieter life. Dissecting Inconsistencies Supporters of the theory point to inconsistencies in the narrative of Jackson’s death. Varying accounts of his health, abrupt changes in his schedule, and the haste with which he was pronounced dead have all fueled suspicions.
Comparisons with other famous figures who are believed to have faked their own deaths, such as Elvis Presley and Tupac Shakur, provide context to the idea that Jackson might have taken a similar route.
Hidden Clues and Symbolism
Devotees of the theory claim that Jackson left behind a trail of hidden clues and symbols that hint at his master plan. From his music videos to interviews, everything becomes a potential clue in the eyes of the theory’s adherents.
The Balancing Act
Critics of the theory raise the question of whether Jackson, known for his deep emotional connections with fans and family, could have subjected them to such profound emotional distress by faking his death.
The core weakness of the theory lies in the scarcity of concrete evidence. In an age of hyper-surveillance, the ability to disappear without leaving behind any substantial proof presents a significant challenge. Did Michael Jackson Fake His Death? The logistics of orchestrating a disappearance on such a grand scale, involving legal documents, authorities, and a seamless cover-up, cannot be underestimated, according to skeptics.
The Echo in History
Regardless of the theory’s validity, the concept of Michael Jackson faking his death has become an integral part of contemporary culture. It fuels discussions, adds layers to his legacy, and underscores the enduring fascination with his persona.
Advocates of the theory argue that, if true, faking his death would allow Jackson to transcend mortality, forever living on in the realm of speculation and intrigue.
In the realm of conspiracy theories, the notion that Michael Jackson faked his own death remains a captivating and controversial topic. While there are intriguing aspects that fuel this theory, the lack of concrete evidence and the emotional toll it would entail raise significant doubts.

Jackson’s first single for Virgin was based on a sample from a James Brown No. 1 R&B hit from 1974, “Papa Don’t Take No Mess.” On first listen, Jackson wasn’t thrilled with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ track; the producers asked her to take it with her on her two-week Christmas vacation and when she returned she told them it was “the bomb.”
The video for this song was too steamy for MTV, which refused to air it. Within hours of the network’s decision, Warner/Reprise Video announced that “Justify My Love” would be the first commercially released video single. ABC’s “Nightline” then aired the entire video, uncensored.
The 12th entry on the Hot 100 for this female vocal group from Oakland, Calif., it proved to be their biggest hit, with four weeks in the runner-up spot. The song was recorded for the soundtrack to “Set It Off,” starring Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett.
Alpert sang this Burt Bacharach/Hal David song to his wife on the beach in Malibu on a CBS special. The next day, the network was inundated with calls from viewers asking where they could buy the song. One day later, A&M released a single and it became the label’s first No. 1.
Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil wrote this song on a rented piano at the Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip, inspired by the Four Tops’ “Baby I Need Your Loving.” Their dummy lyrics were “You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’” but producer Phil Spector liked them so much he kept them. The trio completed the song by writing the bridge at Spector’s home.
Wonder admitted that this song was heavily inspired by two previous Motown hits – “You Can’t Hurry Love” and “My World Is Empty Without You,” both by the Supremes. It was his ninth No. 1 and the first single to top five different Billboard charts.
It’s not a surprise that Swift wrote this song based on a real guy she was dating. Her family disapproved, inspiring her to base the song on the most famous “Love Story” of all, “Romeo and Juliet,” but this time with a happy ending.
When this song reached the top of the Hot 100, the Supremes became the first Motown act to have two No. 1s. Just a few months earlier, they were known around Berry Gordy’s company as “the no-hit Supremes,” but that changed when their previous single, “Where Did Our Love Go,” achieved pole position.
The singer from Eureka, Calif. made her chart debut with this song. Although it didn’t reach No. 1 on the Hot 100, it topped the Adult Contemporary and Adult Pop Songs charts and was the No. 1 song of the year on the annual recaps of those two lists.


James Broughton is the very epitome of a writer who constantly experienced mindfulness both in his personal life and in his work.
He was born in Modesto, California, in 1913. He was a poet and experimental filmmaker and was associated with the San Francisco Renaissance, a movement which preceded the Beat Generation poets. He was involved with the counter-cultural movement the Radical Faeries and was a member of the group The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
His life was a mirror of his work. He was a free spirit and kept exploring and transcending boundaries of male and female, straight and gay, young and old, wilderness and civility, body and spirit. In spite of ongoing pressures from his family and society, he was never afraid of following his instincts and beliefs.
Poet and publisher Jonathan Williams gave him the nickname ‘Big Joy’ and James really lived up to it throughout his life.
In the 1940’s he began experimenting with filming, making avant-garde films, exploring themes of sex, death, and the meaning of life, earning him several awards, among which should be highlighted a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute, and an award in Cannes from Jean Cocteau for his film The Pleasure Garden.
He wrote more than 20 books, poetry being one of his favourite passions. An example of the importance of the here and now in his work are the poems ¨Closure`, and ´This is it`, which feature in other posts in this blog.
James Broughton had both male and female lovers during his life. With his wife, the artist Suzanna Hart, he had two children, and he also had a daughter with the film critic Pauline Kael. In his 60s, James Broughton formed a relationship with a Canadian student named Joel Singer, which lasted for nearly 25 years until Broughton’s death in 1999.
Abundant information about James Broughton’s life and work, as well as the 2012 award-winning film documenting his life (Big Joy: the adventures of James Broughton by Stephen Silha et al) can be found at http://bigjoy.org

The trauma hit him so hard he has been forced to rethink every area of his life – including the showbiz career that has spanned seven decades and won him millions of devoted fans.
The 76-year-old said: “It was a disastrous time emotionally, so traumatic I don’t think I slept more than two hours at a time for two years.
“It hurt me so much I don’t think I can ever recover personally. I’m living my life again and it’s all in my past – but when I think of what I tried to build up in my career, I know it’s been damaged in places I won’t ever go back to.”
SIR CLIFF REFLECTS ON HIS ‘TWO YEARS FROM HELL’
Hinting that he might even start to think about retirement, he said: “I’m still touring, my music still sells, and next month I’ll be 77.
“I’m not quite ready to hang up my guitar but after nearly 60 years in the music business, I’ve been giving some thought to where, one day, I might want to end up.”
For now, Sir Cliff has decided to sell his beloved 300-year-old farmhouse and surrounding vineyard in Portugal, where for 23 years he has plotted and celebrated the highlights of his career and hosted friends including Cilla Black.
His official reason for downsizing is that the estate is now too big for him to manage. He said: “I want to live fully with what I’ve got left.”
But shutting the door on the £6.4million property at Quinta do Moinho on the Algarve could go some way to helping erase the painful memories of the past few years.
Because it was there that he watched on TV with millions around the world as the BBC showed aerial footage of detectives raiding his home in Sunningdale, Berkshire, in August 2014.
It followed an allegation the previous year that the star had sexually assaulted a child at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane stadium in 1985 – claims he always denied.
He was never arrested and in June last year prosecutors said he would face no charges.
But for two years he was plagued by claims that tore his world apart.
The singer wrote in the Sunday Times: “It was here that I had the most terrible time of my life, but it was also here that I had the most beautiful time when it all ended.
“This place was such a haven for me. It didn’t change the despair, but I would rather have been despairing here than anywhere else.”
Despite rebuilding his life with the help of his devoted friends and fans, he fears it will never be the same again.
He said: “Some people will always believe there’s no smoke without fire – to which I can only reply with something someone wrote to me: ‘Haven’t they heard of smoke machines?’”
Sir Cliff has since taken legal action against the BBC and South Yorkshire Police over coverage of the raid, which had prompted claims that officers tipped off TV bosses as they were moving in on the star.
A scathing independent report later criticised the agreement between police and the BBC, and said it “certainly interfered with [Sir Cliff’s] privacy and may well have caused unnecessary distress”.
The singer is thought to be still negotiating with the BBC over a settlement.
In November last year he called for a change in the law to protect those falsely accused of sexual assault. As he promoted his 102nd album, Just Fabulous Rock & Roll, he told Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans the names of those accused should not be revealed before they are charged.
He said: “You shouldn’t name the person because you might find there’s no evidence. In fact, in this case there was no evidence.
“So two years later I’m free, I’m innocent, but my name was smeared everywhere and everybody knew about it.
“If I was never mentioned until I was charged, there’d be nothing to talk about.
“Yes, an accusation has to be taken seriously, but it doesn’t have to be believed immediately.”
Away from the claims, Cliff’s career continues and he remains as popular as ever.
He is expected to announce plans for celebrations next year to mark 60 years in showbusiness since his 1958 debut hit, Move It.
The anniversary celebrations are highly likely to involve his band The Shadows.
At the end of last year he said: “The fans ask if me and The Shadows are going to get back together and we have decided ‘Yes we will.’” He joked: “We are going to celebrate our 100 years together.”
In all the band – including Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch, both 75, and Brian Bennett, 76, are credited with 64 hit singles in the UK starting in 1958 when they were known as The Drifters.
At the weekend the first pictures from Sir Cliff’s 39th calender were revealed at the weekend, showing him looking remarkably toned and tanned in a short-sleeved shirt knotted at the waist.
It is sure to be a hit with fans, who have bought more than 1.5million of his calendars over four decades.

(Rebel Circus)During the 1960s and 1970s, there was not a person alive who didn’t know about serial killer Charles Manson. Manson, of course, became internationally famous as the leader of the Manson Family – a hippie commune cult that eventually went on a killing spree that ended the life of actress Sharon Tate. His face was one that became inextricably linked with American serial killers, and to a lesser point, cult leadership. For the past several decades, he has been spending life in prison. Now, authorities are saying that he’s on his last breath.

matter how much you may like Brenda Lee, Janis Martin and Jackie De Shannon,
the greatest female
Rockabilly/Rock'n'Roll singer is Wanda
Jackson. Period. She's also a superlative Country and Gospel artist. She began recording for Decca in 1954 but the big break occured when she signed with Capitol in 1956. Backed up by such luminaries as Joe Maphis, Speedy West, Skeets Mc Donald, Buck Owens, Big Al Downing and Roy Clark, she could do no wrong.
And she was equally electrifying on stage ! The good news is, the party's goin' on in 2016 !! Time to join & have a ball.


Rory Gallagher (March 2, 1948 - June 14, 1995) was an Irish guitar player, songwriter and blues- and bluesrock musician who spearheaded the entire Irish rock movement and significantly influenced his time and the music of the 1970s and 1980s.
Born in 1948 in Ballyshannon and raised in Cork, Gallagher’s “rock ‘n roll odyssey” began at an early age when he saw Elvis Presley on TV and became inspired to get his first guitar at the age of eight. Rory would listen and learn from the likes of Lonnie Donegan, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and Jerry Lee Lewis, many of whom Rory went on to record with.
While still at school during his early teens, Rory began playing with professional show bands throughout Ireland, whose repertoires included all the popular hits of the day. Not musically satisfied with this, Rory converted his latter showband The Impact into a six-piece R’n’B outfit and headed for Hamburg in the mid-1960s. On arrival, this line-up was soon trimmed down to his first trio.
Rory went on to form the power trio Taste in 1966, a band who soon met with wide acclaim, and subsequently headed for London where they were an immediate success at London’s famed Marquee Club. One of the highlights was the gig at the Isle Of Wight Festival on August 28, 1970.
When Taste disbanded at the end of 1970, Rory went on to a successful solo career. From his first solo albums (Rory Gallagher and Deuce) in 1971 through to 1990’s acclaimed Fresh Evidence and beyond, Rory Gallagher sold many millions of albums worldwide and toured the globe several times, mounting more than 25 tours in the US alone.
Following extensive tours of Europe throughout 1972, Rory followed up with the album Live In Europe, a top ten triumph both in the UK and internationally. While touring the US solo for the first time, he was voted Melody Maker’s Top Musician Of The Year, and to cap off the album became Rory’s first gold album, and his second chart album success in the States.
In 1973, Rory changed the line-up of his band and released a further two successful albums, Blueprint and Tattoo. Later in the same year he achieved another personal high when he was invited to guest on Muddy Waters’ “London Sessions” album. At the end of ‘73, Rory toured his native Ireland, an almost legendary tour that happily was caught on film via a documentary made by Tony Palmer. The film documentary of Irish Tour 1974 was released in conjunction with a double live set also entitled Irish Tour ‘74 and soon became his most successful album ever in the US, winning worldwide acclaim and prompting a tour of the Far East later in the year.
Having completed his contract with Polydor, Rory signed with Chrysalis in 1975 and released Against The Grain. After an extensive worldwide tour, Rory returned to the UK to headline the Reading Festival (one of his many performances at this festival for which Rory held the record during his lifetime for number of appearances).
Calling Card was recorded in 1976 and charted worldwide on its release. Gallagher then returned to the States for yet another tour.
Rory made television history as the first ever artist to appear on the “Rockpalast Show” in the Grugahalle in Essen/Germany, transmitted live to some fifteen countries with an estimated audience of 50 million. That’s how he also became very popular for the German-speaking audience. Between 1976 and 1990 Rory performed five times at Rockpalast.
In 1978, he returned to Germany to record the critically acclaimed album Photo-Finish. Following his lengthy worldwide tour, Rory returned to Germany in ’79 to record Top Priority. The album was released and followed up with an extensive touring schedule which resulted, in 1980, with the landmark live album Stage Struck.
In 1982, Rory released his final album for Chrysalis, Jinx, and then returned to where he was happiest, the stage, and a successful world tour.
After the return of his entire catalogue in 1985, Rory formed his own label and publishing company, Capo, and began recording the Defender album, released in 1987, which charted strongly in many countries. The 1990 release of Fresh Evidence saw Gallagher opening the ears of an even wider audience. Rory continued to tour with a new band he established in '93, until he fell seriously ill in Holland in January 1995.
Rory Gallagher died on June 14, 1995 as a result of a liver transplantation. His house of birth in Ballyshannon and his grave at the St. Oliver Cemetery in Ballincollig (County Cork) are places of pilgrimage for his true fans.
Rory’s music was his religion. The conviction and sincerity with which he projected it have assured him a place in rock history and earnt him critical acclaim as one of the greatest torchbearers of driving, effusive rock and blues.

Each year, a number of collaborations always seem to come totally out of left-field. Ones that nobody saw coming... Think about it - before Chris Martin hooked up with Kanye West, did it make sense? Not to me anyway.
In an interview with Pitchfork, Justin Vernon (Bon Iver, Volcano Choir, Gayngs, DeYarmond Edison - ultimately the uber folk man doing the rounds lately) has confirmed that he has worked on "at least ten songs" with none other than...
*drum roll please*
Yeah... Hands up who saw that coming?
Vernon claims that he recorded vocals on at least ten tracks for Kanye, one of which samples the song Woods from Bon Iver's Blood Bank EP - a track West has earmarked as "the festival closer" The track is called Lost In The Woods and is just one of a number that the two recorded with producer Rick Ross in the Hawaiian studio over a three week period.
Kanye's new album will be out on November 15th (Probably 12th in Ireland) and is set to include a collaboration with Beyonce, as well as this track. It is not entitled Good Ass Job anymore.
As for Justin, he's been a very busy boy - as well as an upcoming tour with Gayngs, he has holed himself up in Wisconsin in an attempt to complete the next Bon Iver album which will be released next year, while he's also been working with A-Trak, John Legend, Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross in Hawaii. He also plans to begin a new imprint project with label Jagjaguwar to encourage musicians to promote the unsigned and lost albums that inspired him, including a band called Amateur Love from Vernon's home town Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

The publicist of Gerald “Grim” Reaper, known better by his stage name Death, has confirmed that the singer, actor and animal rights activist passed away paradoxically, surrounded by the loving souls of those forever condemned to writhe in agony for their sins, on Friday morning.
Death reportedly collapsed on his way to deliver the spirit of diminutive Scottish entertainer Ronnie Corbett to the face judgement by Simon “Saint” Peter. He was rushed to hospital early this morning and passed away shortly after. The whereabouts of Corbett are yet unknown and residents of Heaven are being asked to check nearby armchairs for signs of ghoulish monologuing.
Sources close to the star have suggested that his increased workload in the first three months of 2016 contributed to the exhaustion that ultimately cost him his life.
The ghost of Terry Pratchett, currently working on his 48th ‘Discworld’ novel, told me, “Well, the poor guy’s been snowed under this year. I mean, it started off alright. First there was that bloke from Motörhead just before New Year but he didn’t make a fuss, wasn’t even surprised.”
“But then there was David Bowie and Alan Rickman in the same week. Terry Wogan, Harper Lee, Paul Daniels, Frank Sinatra Jr. and loads more. I reckon having to deal with Garry Shandling and Patty Duke at the same time wore him down and picking up Ronnie Corbett yesterday was the final straw.”
Death’s career began to flag in the early twentieth century, following the murder of his comedy partner God by Friedrich Nietzsche in 1882 to which Death was, unsurprisingly, a witness. Following a recurring role in ‘The Twilight Zone’, regular stints at panto and the cancellation of his poorly-received solo stand-up comedy act, ‘Woah, who died?’, it wasn’t until a chance encounter with Pratchett that he once again found fame.
“He showed up early, the silly embuggerer,” said the author’s demonic persona, peering down at this reporter from under his trademark wide-brimmed hat with empty, flame-licked eye-sockets. “Some clerical error. Anyway, I thought he’d be a good fit for this book I was working on and he was happy to do it.”
Death appeared the first novel of Pratchett’s ‘Discworld’ series, ‘The Colour of Magic’, in 1983 and found himself once again a household name. As well as a cameo in the final ‘Harry Potter’ story and regular voice work, including ‘Family Guy’ and ‘The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy’, he continued to appear Discworld novels and was due to take a starring role in Pratchett’s upcoming entry.
“We’ve got the big set pieces done, so we’ll just use CG for the rest,” said Pratchett confidently. “He’s got a brother who’s literally a dead ringer for him so that’ll help too.”
The ghost of Death was unavailable for comment.

Dunny is back in the house! Be entertained by local music legend John Dunnigan in the Firebrand Restaurant on Friday, October 7th from 6-9p.
If Jimmy Buffett, James Taylor and John Prine were joined together in some bizarre musical cloning experiment, the outcome would be John Dunnigan. This "offbeat" musician and entertainer took the backroads to Montana over three decades ago and never left (he's no fool). His original, often hilarious songs make you think, laugh, sing along and raise your glass in a toast to life. In short, he can put a smile on your face.

The Greg Matthews Story
Greg Matthews is a Nashville native ( aka: a Unicorn ) singer/songwriter. They say that Nashville is a “10 year town” for making it in the music business, and Greg arrived on the scene in 1964 at the tender young age of Zero! Growing up in Music City, his life has always had an accompanying soundtrack. Between his parent’s eclectic album collection
(which played daily on the family console stereo), and watching his dad play guitar and singing all the time, Greg’s love for music was unavoidable. Learning to play guitar in the early 70’s, he was heavily impacted by the singer/songwriter superstars of the day. The music of John Denver, James Taylor, and Jim Croce, to name a few, sparked his fascination with songwriting, and he has been trying to explain and express himself with lyrics and melodies ever since.
After many attempts and failures at trying to do something with his music professionally, Greg finally gave up on “the dream”. He could not however stop his love for writing, playing and singing. Deciding to go out and find some places to play just for fun and maybe meet a few new likeminded friends, he stumbled into hosting a songwriter showcase at the Red Line Bar and Grill in Bellevue, TN. He very quickly began co-writing with some incredibly talented people, started playing in writer rounds all over town, and became surrounded by an amazing circle of friends within the Nashville songwriting community. The Dream started to wake up again!
And just like that everything came to stop. A Covid-19 related respiratory crisis brought him right up to the finish line in May 2021. After 15 days in ICU, five of which were spent unconscious and on a ventilator, he returned home and began the month’s long process of rehab and recovery. With the incredible love and support of his wife Jamie, his family, and a host of friends, he got back on his feet and back to writing and playing. Through a series of “happy accidents” (which strongly resembled Divine intervention!) Greg was offered the opportunity to begin recording and releasing his music on Black Ribbon Records as a recording artist on September 15, 2021! It only took 57 years to be an overnight success! #oldguysrule
Greg’s first single, Jingling All the Way, has just been released to radio and all streaming platforms in time for the 2021 Christmas Season! Production has already begun on his first album, and we look forward to sharing it with you after the New Year!
