“His design, his thought centered and focused on her [Audrey’s] physical being. It’s like a great composer when he writes for a great artist. She was the physical expression of what Givenchy did,” said Stanley Donen, who directed Hepburn in Funny Face and Charade.
There have been a few remarkable actor-director partnerships in the history of cinema, but Audrey Hepburn’s most symbiotic screen collaboration was with fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy, whose creative mind and understanding of Audrey’s figure, needs and personality played a key role in defining her singular style on-and-off screen. She was a beacon of style. And I don’t think there is any other actress whose roles have emulated her personal style to such an extent.
From the moment Hepburn met Givenchy, her actress’ personal style was inextricably linked to the designer for life. After Sabrina, their first film together, Audrey requested Givenchy design for all her films. “His are the only clothes in which I am myself. He is far more than a couturier; he is a creator of personality.” They eventually worked together on eight films – five of which I’ll talk about today.
Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina
Sabrina, directed by Billy Wilder, marked the beginning of the beautiful friendship between Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy. Hepburn wanted to wear a real Paris dress. She had a style that was very much her own, and she knew exactly what complimented her slender figure. She was sent to see Cristóbal Balenciaga in Paris, but he was too busy preparing his latest collection, so he sent Audrey to his good friend Givenchy, who had worked for Balenciaga.
It turned out that Givenchy couldn’t design something especially for her either, as he was in the middle of a collection himself – so Audrey asked him to show her his previous collection. It was exactly what she needed. She ended up buying a capsule wardrobe formed of three outfits that would mark her transformation from a shy waif into a sophisticated Parisienne: a collarless Oxford-gray wool tailleur and two gowns, the white organdy bustier dress with navy floral embroidery (a design which directed the attention to Hepburn’s narrow waist and slim upper torso) and the bateau neckline black cocktail dress. All the other costumes were designed by Edith Head, who won the Oscar for costume design without crediting Givenchy’s significant contribution. But that’s a story for another time.
Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face
Funny Face (1957) isn’t my favourite Audrey Hepburn film, but I do acknowledge its importance – not just because of Givenchy’s beautiful gowns that are the focal point of the film, but because of Audrey’s beatnik style as book clerk Jo Stockton, and the way the film, despite its seemingly ridiculous plot, is smarter than it first appears to be, revealing a Pygmalion story in the form of a parody about the fashion world. The clothes Audrey Hepburn wears in Paris for the photo shoots were, once again, designed by Hubert de Givenchy.
Not only that, but Fred Astaire and Kay Thompson – playing fashion photographer Dick Avery and fashion editor Maggie Prescott respectively – are clearly a hint to Richard Avedon and Diana Vreeland, two of the most important figures in fashion history. The photos for the title sequence were produced by Avedon himself, and many of the pictures Dick Avery takes in Paris echo the famous photographer’s work. Watching the film does very much feel like flipping through a ’50s fashion magazine, one directed by Diana Vreeland herself.
Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard in Breakfast at Tiffany’s
It’s hard to imagine anyone else as troubled call girl Holly Golightly, but Truman Capote – on whose novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) was based – was disappointed when Audrey Hepburn was cast in the role. When Capote sold the rights to Paramount, he had envisioned Marilyn Monroe as Holly, and believed Hepburn to be completely wrong for the part. Paula Strasberg, Monroe’s acting coach, felt that playing a call girl was not good for Marilyn’s image, so the actress dropped out of production. For Audrey, however, the role was a welcome change after the princess and chauffeur’s daughter parts she had played in the past.
Holly Golightly’s character was softened for the screenplay, but Breakfast at Tiffany’s was still a very modern film for 1961, and Hepburn was funny, yet moving in her role. “I should be a stylish Holly Golightly. Even if that’s all I can contribute”, modestly said Audrey. She and Hubert de Givenchy teamed up again for Blake Edward’s romantic comedy. Her wardrobe is simple, elegant, iconic, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the movie that, in 1961, consecrated the black sheath dress, heralding a new era for women’s dresses – a more relaxed, freeing, modern style.
The couturier designed two sleeveless black dresses for the film. From that opening scene, when Holly steps out of a yellow cab on a deserted Fifth Avenue outside Tiffany’ wearing the black column gown with an open back and the Tiffany necklace of draped pearls, Audrey Hepburn made movie fashion history.
The other black dress is a knee-length cocktail dress with a slightly flared frilly skirt. But there are other Givenchy designs that are at least just as noteworthy: the fabulous lampshade hat, the pink cocktail dress and the double-breasted orange wool coat that was much copied after the release of the film. The funnel neck coat was classic Givenchy, and Audrey would wear similar versions in Charade, How to Steal A Million, and in her personal wardrobe.
Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant in Charade
Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn together on screen. It’s hard to escape them. Stanley Donen’s Charade is one of the last great Old Hollywood movies, and none other than Grant and Hepburn could better portray that idealised sort of perfection. It doesn’t hurt either that this skillful blend of adventure, suspense and style is set against the timelessness of Paris.
Givenchy dressed Hepburn in contemporary styles very evocative of the era. Her wardrobe included a selection of high-buttoned jackets, coats and raincoats (Audrey favoured dress cuts that masked her collarbone), pencil skirts and shift dresses in colours of mustard, cream, red and black, often cinched with a large belt to accentuate her petite frame. The image of Hepburn in a red suit and white pillbox hat walking the banks of the Seine with Cary Grant has become of one the film’s most enduring images.
Audrey Hepburn in How to Steal A Million
Few actresses had as much influence on the fashion of the 1950s and 1960s as Audrey Hepburn. Richard Avedon was one of the people who advised her to emphasise and not hide her qualities and distinctive traits, such as her figure, her thick eyebrows and her natural brown hair, cut short. She represented a new, modern model of femininity that opposed the shapely sexiness in vogue at Hollywood at the time.
In How to Steal A Million, Audrey plays Nicole Bonnet, the daughter of a master art forger alongside Peter O’Toole, another great match for Audrey’s style, just as Cary Grant had been in Charade. Here, Audrey’s Givenchy wardrobe is maybe even more representative of the designer’s signature minimal fashion than in other films – a sophisticated, but very clean, essential, practical form of high fashion. It is the best reflection of the perfect synergy between Givenchy’s elegant lines and Audrey’s impeccable taste: it felt like they both designed the clothes. Memorable clothing pieces here would include the iconic white helmet, the unforgettable pink coat, the beige shift dress with sculpted front pockets, and the black lace eye mask.

It has been 23 years since Song Hye Kyo’ debuted. Born in 1981, she is 38 years old. Whether it is from the starring TV series or the Reuters attending the event, the years have not left any trace on her body.
A few days ago, she traveled from Seoul to Singapore to participate in the grand event. It was in this appearance that someone found out that she did not wear a wedding ring and said that they had “divorced.” “Song couples” (Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo) officially entered the marriage hall at the end of 2017. They rarely showed up together after marriage, but they were still very sweet from the photos taken by passers-by. At the time, their wedding was also a “large happiness scene”.
Song Hye Kyo did not wear a watch at the wedding scene. But do not suspect the ability of Song Hye Kyo makes goods popular, her wedding ring is still beautiful, Chaumet Bee My Love series diamond ring is now out of stock. Don’t think that Hye Kyo only has a say in jewelry. When I look at her previous photos, we find that she is still cute and gentle.
We know that Hye Kyo is not high, so when choosing a watch, she will take it for granted that she likes a small-diameter female watch. Indeed, she has worn a few women watches that are not too large in diameter. Song Hye Kyo chose a wide range of watches, sometimes according to the role of the play to choose, sometimes combined with a

DBSK - Rest Special


The House of Windsor came into being in 1917. Since then, the Windsor Family has become an emblem of British rule and imperialism. Commonly considered one of the most powerful families in the world, beyond their political influence, they are celebrities in their own right. With the UK being one of the last ruling monarchies in the Western world, year after year, millions flock to the UK inspired to unveil more about their lifestyle. In 2019, the BBC estimated that the royal family generates £550 million towards the British economy per year via tourism.
From lavish weddings to grand estates, at first glance, the Windsors might seem like the fairytale family. However, when you begin to dig a bit deeper, this supposedly tight-knit family is bursting at the seams with scandal. Mass tourism is mostly fuelled by the media’s obsession with exposing what happens behind closed palace doors. Although global paparazzi succeed in hounding family members, very few reporters manage to obtain exclusive interviews. The British monarchy is notoriously difficult to infiltrate.
For the past three years, Oprah Winfrey has been chasing the elusive butterfly of securing an interview with the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle. Following a tumultuous year that saw Harry and Meghan step back from their royal duties and relocate to the US, Oprah finally succeeded. On Sunday the 7th of March, the highly anticipated interview was aired on the American news channel CBS. There were a recorded 17.1 million viewers. The following day, it was streamed on British television channel ITV, with 12.4 million people tuning in to watch.
For years there had been so much fuss and discussion around who Prince Harry would choose as his suitress, it was expected that whoever that was would receive an overwhelming amount of attention from the media. However, in the lead-up to the royal wedding in May 2018, it became clear that Meghan wasn’t going to have an easy time with the British press. During the interview, Meghan and Oprah reflected on how the tabloids had battered her from start to present. Before the wedding, they made up false stories about her, painting this monstrous image of her making her sister-in-law Kate cry when it had actually been the opposite.
Oprah then decided to compare news headlines of things Meghan had done during her pregnancy with stories about Kate. The results were quite shocking. Where Kate had been praised, Meghan had been mocked. One of the most evident was when the Duchess of Cambridge was photographed hugging her baby bump. The Daily Mail captioned the photos: “Bumping along nicely! The Duchess was seen placing a protective hand on her tummy as she exited the event”. Whereas when Meghan did the same, the Daily Mail reported: “Personally, I find the cradling a bit like those signs in the back of cars: Baby on Board. Virtue signalling, as though the rest of us barren harridans deserve to burn alive in our cars”. Not only does it highlight the blatant disparity in treatment of one of the princesses to the other, but it also reveals how deeply embedded insidious racism is within the British media.
Although there still seemed to be a fair amount that Meghan and Harry refused to reveal about the royal family and the so-called “Firm”, the interview was still pretty explosive. In particular, the two main issues that have caused widespread public concern and discussion were race and mental health. Not only did Meghan divulge the comments made to Harry regarding concern about how dark their son’s skin colour would be, but she also expressed how fragile her mental health had been during her pregnancy.
Meghan admitted to having had suicidal thoughts and felt as though she received no support from those around her. At one point, she even requested that Harry wasn’t to leave her alone because she didn’t know what she would do to herself. Meghan expressed how she had visited HR, but owing to the very intricately complex layout of the monarchy, she was not eligible to receive medical support from them. Unfortunately, she was a family member rather than a member of staff, which meant HR were not responsible for supporting her through her mental health crisis. For all of us who have battled with such feelings, we can only empathise with how trapped and alone she must have felt. Both she and Harry signalled that the deterioration of her mental health and the lack of protection for their family were the most pressing reasons for them to withdraw from their royal duties and relocate in 2020.
Both comments about race and mental health were extremely painful to listen to, especially at a time when both are so topical in British society. Even though I am not a fan of Meghan Markle, the public have no right to determine her mental health status. The widespread disbelief in her claiming to be suicidal was extremely troubling and indicative of British attitudes towards mental health. When suicide rates are at an all-time high, I expect more from the British public to demonstrate sensitivity and support for those when they are crying for help.
The British stiff upper lip phenomenon is embodied within British governance and the monarchy. Whenever a problem arises it’s swept quickly under the family’s Persian rug. Another recent example of this has been Prince Andrew’s lack of accountability concerning his role in the Epstein exposé. Despite the royal having notoriously close relations with the renowned paedophile, there still is little media coverage about this. There is even incriminating evidence against Andrew of his involvement with underage girls, yet the royal family has managed to miraculously sweep this issue away. The Oprah interview revealed that certain members of the royal family clearly receive different treatment from others.
In summary, the interview shed light on the very archaic institution that is the British monarchy. There is a difference between the family members themselves and the team that run the institution. It’s best to think of it as a family business, whereby the members are more figureheads than drivers of actual action. Although I found the interview unsettling to watch at times, I was not surprised to hear about Meghan’s mistreatment. Mental health nor race seem like topics that such an outdated institution is capable of handling adequately.


We all love a game of bingo or three now and again, but did you know that celebrities are no strangers to the bingo hall (or online variation) as well?
Perhaps the most well-known celeb bingo fan is Denise van Outen, who has been spotted time and again down her local bingo hall in Essex. Sticking with the female theme, Cheryl Cole and Sharon Osbourne have both admitted to loving a bit of bingo, with Sharon holding such a passion for the game that she’s become the celebrity face of a rather famous bingo brand in the UK. Ozzie would be proud!
You may think that those tough and hard footballers who grace Premier League football pitches up and down the country would never admit to a penchant for bingo, but how wrong you would be! David Wheater, of Bolton fame and a favourite among fotboll betting fans with users of sites such as Unibet, used to head down to his local hall in Yorkshire when he played for Championship side Middlesbrough. With Bolton now relegated to the Championship for next season, perhaps the defender might have more opportunities to head to that part of the country for a piece of bingo action.
Despite the fact that Robbie Williams and the other Take That lads have also made their love for bingo known, it’s not just TV personalities, pop stars, and English footballers who enjoy bingo; Prince William himself was apparently once spotted taking a break from intense physical training at Sandhurst in order to settle down for a cup of tea, a biscuit, and a bingo game or three. Reports state that the Prince failed to win anything, despite spending a whopping £5 on tickets! Kate wouldn’t be proud!


DAVID BOWIE- WHERE ARE WE NOW?
David Bowie-Where Are We Now?
Tuesday 8th January 2013 is David Bowie’s 66th birthday and by means of a birthday gift to the world he has chosen the day to release his first music in ten years. It is especially poignant as the last few years have been rife with speculation concerning Bowie with rumours of deteriorating health, acceptance that he had perhaps retired and just not told us and most worryingly of all the Flaming Lips released a song which begged in its title ‘Is David Bowie Dying?’.
The news this morning then that his new single ‘Where Are We Now?’ is already available to buy on iTunes with minimum fuss, hyperbole and build up is typical of Bowie’s mysterious and innovative ways in an industry which usually favours pre-release hype to the point the eventual release is inevitably something of a disappointment.
The song itself is melancholic and plaintive and focussed on the point of his life and career when he was attempting to escape the spectre of the masks and characters-Ziggy, Aladdin, The Thin White Duke et al- and reclaim the identity of their initial doppelganger, David Jones. In doing this he had ducked the momentum of a highly lucrative and successful global career and absconded to Berlin with Iggy Pop whose career had nosedived during exactly the same period Bowie’s had skyrocketed.
The fact that this move re-ignited his muse and resulted in what was probably his most creative and original period is neither here nor there when considered next to the fact that it was an extremely brave thing to do with many commentators observing it was commercial suicide. Proving them wrong showed again that Bowie is always one step ahead of others and whilst many other artists underestimate their audience he never has and that is only one reason why he still inspires such great loyalty from his fan base.
This latest move merely confirms the fact that Bowie is still an artist to be reckoned with and one who exists only on his own terms still leading, rather than following, the pack.
A new single is only an appetite whetter however for an album to be released in March, The Next Day, which will neatly coincide with the V&A retrospective detailing the great man’s career and influence. This flurry of activity indicates that far from retiring, 2013 could be Bowie’s biggest year in decades. Welcome back David. Oh, and Happy Birthday!


On Monday night, I had the honor of meeting and hearing a speech by Ernestine Bradley. Mrs. Bradley is a non-Jew who was a child in Germany during the Holocaust. As she has done around the world, Mrs. Bradley spoke of her experience in confronting the atrocities that occurred in her homeland. Her speech was very compelling. I hope to read her autobiography soon.
Before the speech, a few of us on the committee that brought Mrs. Bradley to town had dinner with her. Among the many topics were her family. One person asked Mrs. Bradley how she met her husband, NBA Hall of Famer and former United States Senator Bill Bradley. Mrs. Bradley explained that she was working on an educational documentary in which various celebrities were speaking about some topic. One of the interviewees was Bill Bradley. Not being a sports fan at all, the future Mrs. Bradley didn't know much about him. They started talking and, as they say, the rest is history. Someone else asked Mrs. Bradley how her future husband performed in the video. She said that he did well, to which I added that I would have expected as much since he was the star of one my favorite commercials of all time. She had no idea what I was talking about, even after I described the commercial to her. I wonder if she went home and asked him about it or found it herself. Of course, if she is Googling herself and comes across this blog, she can find it right here:


We were lucky enough to have Vincent D’Onofrio (Jurassic Park, Marvel’s Daredevil, Law & Order, Full Metal Jacket) make an appearance at the museum over the weekend. He’s doing some training at Motorcycle Training Solutions (located on our lower level) for his upcoming role in the movie CHiPs where he will be cast as the villain. ChiPs will also feature Dax Shepard taking on the role of Officer Jonathan “Jon” Baker, while Michael Peña is assuming the much more popular character of Officer Francis (“Frank”) Llewellyn “Ponch” Poncherello. The film has been described as a buddy cop action comedy. And there will be a heavy emphasis on the word action. Not only is Dax Shepard directing and starring in the movie, he also wrote the script.


|Roger McGuinn at the Michigan Theater, May 16, 2015|
Dylan, of course, has been charting his own path as a performer for... well, forever. These days, he's not altering his setlists, so a quick look at his most recent performances on his official website -- even though it was two weeks out of date -- gave a fairly precise idea of what he was going to play.
|I was "busted" for taking this snapshot of Bob and the band.|
Dylan has accentuated his piano playing more and more in recent years, to the point where it now has a leading role in several songs. The setlist, though, was pretty much impenetrable for anyone who didn't already have the songs memorized. In 2012, Bob surprised me by playing nearly an entire set of "familiar to the casual fans" songs. No such "luck" Friday night. "Blowin' In the Wind" in the encores was sublime, and included Dylan's most forceful piano playing of the evening. "Tangled Up in Blue" was also in the set. Beyond that, many fans had to be wondering just what they were hearing. Even "She Belongs to Me" wasn't easy to recognize, and anyway, when was the last time most of them listened to it? Not that I have an issue with songs like "Pay In Blood" (a world premiere at the 2012 show that was also played Friday evening) or "Early Roman Kings," it's just that without a libretto they're not easy to follow. I spent so much effort trying to figure out what he was playing, that I didn't ever get to why he was playing it.
|Dylan at the piano for "Blowin' In the Wind."|
Roger McGuinn opened with a Bob Dylan song ("My Back Pages"), wore a big hat, and played many other Dylan songs over the course of his two hour concert, but that's where any similarities between these two shows ended. McGuinn's roots are in folk and he has substantially gone back to those roots with his Folk Den Project. Yesterday's show combined songs from The Byrds, McGuinn's solo career, and his more recent folk recordings. Where Dylan seemed to issue a dare to his audience to figure out his meaning, McGuinn explained his history and his song's meanings at length.
So we got the story of how McGuinn once played for the Chad Mitchell Trio. We got the story of his time in the Brill Building with Bobby Darin, and of one of his first songwriting attempts there. We got the story of how The Byrds came together, of how they got access to "Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man," and how he ended up singling lead. We got his story of the Rolling Thunder Revue, and of another tour years later with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. Time after time the stories were presented as opportunities, of McGuinn just happening to be in the right place at the right time, and being just smart enough -- usually after a delay -- to smile and say "ok." McGuinn, like Dylan, doesn't vary his setlist. Yet it all felt fresh.
These stories might be wearying in the hands of someone else, but McGuinn so clearly enjoyed the moment, enjoyed the telling, and most of all enjoyed the music that he easily brought the audience along with him. That included frequent sing-alongs, even on some of those old Bob Dylan chestnuts. Oh, and he did "Chestnut Mare," too. McGuinn showed how talented he is, both as instrumentalist (he played his Rickenbacker as well as 3 other instruments) and as singer. He closed with "Turn! Turn! Turn!," the Pete Seeger adaptation of Ecclesiastes that became a #1 hit for The Byrds, and "May the Road Rise Up To Meet You," an original song based on a traditional Irish blessing.


So, we all know Ronaldinho? The Brazilian guy? One of the most recognisable people in South America? Well, he has been arrested for using a fake passport pretending he’s Paraguayan.? Yep.
Since leaving AC Milan in 2010, Ronaldinho hasn’t exactly had things his own way. His playing career petered out in Brazil, while issues in his personal life have ensured he is never too far away from the headlines.
The latest issue for Ronaldinho, as noted by ?La Nación, is that he has been stopped by police for allegedly using a fake passport which claimed he was a native of Paraguay, which definitely isn’t the smartest thing for a global icon to do.
Both Ronaldinho and his brother, who also had false documents, have been detained, while police have also located the person who sold them the fake passports.
Now, I’m sure you’re wondering why he would do this. Well, the problem is that he doesn’t have a Brazilian passport these days, and he’s not legally allowed to own one until he pays a hefty fine.

Dr. Angelou was a creative person; as a singer, dancer, activist, poet, wife, mother, and writer, she inspired generations with lyrical modern African-American thought that pushed boundaries. This film celebrates her by weaving her words with rare archival photographs and videos that paint hidden moments of her exuberant life during some of America’s most defining moments. From her upbringing in the Depression-era South, to her work with Malcolm X in Ghana, to her inaugural speech for President Bill Clinton, the film reveals her as a true American icon.
The documentary also features a series of interviews with friends and family, including Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Common, Alfre Woodard, Cicely Tyson, Quincy Jones, Hillary Clinton, John Singleton and Dr. Angelou’s son, Guy Johnson.

Clifford Michael Irving (born November 5, 1930) is an American novelist and investigative reporter. Although he has published 20 novels, he is best known for a fictional autobiography of millionaire recluse Howard Hughes, which was to be published in 1972.

Irving wrote The Hoax (1981), his account of events surrounding the development and sale of the fake autobiography. The book was adapted as a 2006 biopic of the same name, starring Richard Gere as Clifford Irving. He has continued to write, and publishes his books as e-books available via Kindle and Nook.

Will Ric Flair Finally Have his Last Match?
For his sake, I hope so.
Ric Flair is one of the most popular and controversial figures in professional wrestling. A man that has had almost as many marriages as he has world title wins, the man who has led an exciting life. And on July 31st, he will have possibly one of his most controversial moments.
At 73, Flair will enter the ring one last time. A few weeks ago, he made the announcement and recently released footage on his Twitter of him taking bumps in the ring. And while he is not the only wrestler to step in the ring at his age (Vince McMahon had a match at this year's Wrestlemania at the age of 76), many are concerned.
Flair has had several health scares in recent years. In 2017 he had to have a major surgery in which part of his bowel was removed, and many were worried that he would not make it through. He also has a pacemaker due to heart issues brought on by years of alcohol abuse.
So many people are wondering why this 73-year-old man is determined to have one last match. Some posit that he may need money. With several ex-wives and the need to maintain a particular lifestyle, Flair is not the best with his money.
Flair has also spent over four decades in the spotlight. He has had a fantastic career, including several significant championships, awards, and some of the most historic matches in professional wrestling. Flair has a long history of being unable to step away from the ring and the crowd's attention.
Ric Flair has retired twice so far. His first retirement was at Wrestlemania XXIV in a classic match against Shawn Micheals. The next day on Raw, Flair was honored by his peers in a tearful sendoff. Flair made sporadic appearances with WWE from 2008 to 2009, but his active wrestling days seemed to be over.
He then made appearances in Ring of Honor before having a match with Hulk Hogan during his Hulkamania Tour in 2009. In 2010 Flair officially came out of retirement and spent two years in TNA/Impact Wrestling before again retiring in 2012.
From 2012 to 2021, Flair was used from time to time with the WWE. His most recent role was as a manager for his daughter, Charlotte Flair. In August 2021, Flair parted ways with the company. Some speculate that it may have been due to the Vice series Dark Side of the Ring and their episode on the Plane Ride from Hell, in which Flair was accused of exposing himself and forcing a flight attendant to touch his penis (Flair denies these accusations).
Since then, Flair has made a few on-off appearances with AAA in Mexico and the NWA. And now, in July, Flair will put a bow on his career. Maybe.
There are several voices from fans and those in the wrestling industry. They voice legitimate concerns not only for his health but also for his legacy. It would have been a fitting farewell had his final match been at Wrestlemania XXIV.
We probably won't have a classic Ric Flair match next month. He will be protected, though we don't know the details of the match at this time. Rumor has it that he will be in a six-man tag team match. This would be ideal, as it would give Flair the ability to throw some signature moves in without doing the heavy lifting. Who knows, he may throw in a figure-four leglock to win it.
I, like many others, will more than likely watch the match. And we will hope for a good match. We can only hope it will be a fitting end to The Man's legacy.


We hung out with super-junglist Goldie backstage at the Arches, London Bridge, just before his performance at the Metalheadz 15th anniversary.
In the clip, Goldie talks about the manifesto of Metalheadz and its intergrity and musicality. Always relevant since the dawn of D'n'B, he chats fondly about how things have changed over those epic 15 years.
Goldie didn't have a very conventional childhood. He was raised in children's homes and various foster homes and has spent much of his adult life escaping his demons (his words). In the last few years he has had therapy and found peace with himself and now steers clear of the vices of his past. The homes weren't all bad though. He learnt to fend for himself and the kids looked out for each other.
He developed his love for break-dancing and graffiti (continued into his artistic creations now) back then. He's had a long and varied career, from making jewellery (he used to make his own gold teeth, hence the name) to acting for a stint in Eastenders, but more impressively, in James Bond film, 'The World is Not Enough', and Guy Ritchie's 'Snatch'. Not only that but his former girlfriends include the likes of Naomi Campbell and Björk.
For the last couple of years, Goldie (Clifford Joseph Price, a more apt name for this part of his career) has entered a new phase of musical creativity and has been writing classical tracks. He's even re-writing his entire 'Timeless' double album for the BBC Youth Orchestra, which will be ready for the end of the year. This came about after he came second in reality TV show competition, 'Maestro', when he learned how to conduct an orchestra, after not even being able to read music!
He's not about to hang up his headphones yet though, especially since discovering the CDJ-2000s. He still loves his drum and bass and continues to tour with gigs such as Metalheadz at Cable, London on Saturday 13 March and Ram with Andy C at Matter, London on Friday 2 April.


On Friday, July 14, talented Nollywood actor Yul Edochie broke the internet with the news of running for the next governor of Anambra state. The actor took to his Instagram handle to post a picture of his campaign poster with the caption: “My name is Yul Edochie And I’m running for Governor of Anambra state 2017.” He posted another poster with the caption: “We need a new brand of Leaders who will put the masses first. The older ones have failed us for too long….They have come to THE LAST BUS STOP!!!” Rita Okoye confirmed he is running for the governor of Anambra state. She however did not reveal the party under which he would be running. The actor said it is a divine intervention that he wants to listen to the cry of the people.

Sage Waters was raised in a diverse household, with her father hailing from Haiti and her mother being of Hungarian Swedish/Welsh descent, raised on a California chicken farm. This blend of backgrounds ensured a rich musical environment in their home.
From a young age, Sage displayed a natural inclination towards singing, supported by her mother who was a professional choir singer. Piano lessons from the age of 4 further honed her musical skills, and car rides became impromptu singing sessions where her mother taught her and her sister proper vocal techniques, eventually progressing to three-part harmonies.
Despite facing corrective surgery for a knee deformity from the age of 9 to 22, Sage found solace in music, channeling her time in recovery to explore songwriting after being inspired by her extensive exposure to various musical genres.
By 19, Sage was balancing a full-time college course in Fine Arts sculpting, competitive swimming, and entrepreneurship, even creating her own internship at Tarpan Studios under Narada Michael Walden. Her internship evolved into a five-year stint as a professional vocalist, with notable recording credits including collaborations with artists like Wynonna Judd, James Brown, Carlos Santana, and Stevie Wonder.
Affectionately dubbed “Little Aretha” by Narada, Sage’s versatility as a vocalist and songwriter led to opportunities to demo songs for a wide range of artists, solidifying her reputation as a prolific writer and vocal producer in the industry.
Despite setbacks, such as a song she co-wrote for Mary J. Blige’s album not making the final cut, Sage continued to refine her craft, learning valuable lessons about the importance of protecting her work.
After leaving Tarpan in 2006, Sage embarked on a journey that saw her embrace motherhood, marriage, and the challenges of transitioning from studio work to live performance. Through dedication and discipline, she honed her stage presence, drawing inspiration from artists like Beyoncé to strengthen her vocal performance.
A fortuitous encounter with Brown Mark from Prince and The Revolution led to a fruitful collaboration, including co-hosting a podcast and assisting with the planning of the band’s reunion show and subsequent tour following Prince’s passing.
In 2016, Sage secured a two-year licensing and publishing contract with Spirit Music Group, further cementing her status as a respected songwriter.
Today, Sage Waters is a single mother of two, based in Las Vegas, where she continues to pursue her passion for music as a singer, songwriter, and producer. Her residency at Resorts World showcased her talents, and she remains an active performer across Vegas, having successfully debuted original shows to critical acclaim.
Recently, she contributed background vocals for the “Piano Man” show with Kyle Martin on the Las Vegas Strip, and she’s a proud member of Vox Vegas, an acapella group featuring AGT’s Josh Danger and beatboxer Kenny Urban.
Sage’s journey is a testament to her resilience, creativity, and unwavering dedication to her craft, and her future in the music industry is undoubtedly bright.


Fred Brathwaite (born 1959), more popularly known as Fab 5 Freddy, is an American Hip-hop historian, Hip-hop pioneer and former graffiti artist. As a young teenager in the 1970s, Fab 5 Freddy was a member of the Brooklyn based graffiti group "The Fabulous 5." He got his name for consistent graffiti "bombing" of the number 5 train on the IRT. Outside of the Fabulous 5 group, in 1980, he painted a subway train with cartoon style depictions of giant Campbell's Soup cans, after Andy Warhol. In the late 1970s and early 1980s he was an unofficial bridge between the uptown graffiti and early rap scene and the downtown art and punk music scenes. By the late '80s, Freddy began producing rap videos for artists including Queen Latifah, KRS-One, and Shabba Ranks, and accepted the gifted young MTV producer Ted Demme's invitation to host Yo! MTV Raps, an assignment that established his image as one of the godfathers of the hip-hop scene (as did his publication of a dictionary of hip-hop slang). Freddy subsequently moved into features as a producer (New Jack City, 1991), occasional actor, and documentary contributor. Projects in which he participated include Juice (1992), Who's the Man? (1993), Just For Kicks (2005), and The Universe of Keith Haring (2007).


YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT DALE EARNHARDT JR? NET WORTH, LIFESTYLE, FAMILY, BIOGRAPHY, HOUSE AND CARS
I’m not going to copy everything from this video, since you’re going to watch the video anyway (I assume), but with his recent retirement and the birth of his first child, there’s been a lot going on in stock car driver Dale Earnhardt Jr’s world, so this video is about 10 minutes or so of who Junior is and how he got to be where he is.
Junior, for those who don’t follow NASCAR, spent the better part of the last two plus decades as the most popular driver in American motorsports. While there were years where he was challenged as the fan favorite, but managed to win the award, which is voted on by the fans, an astonishing 14 years in a row from 2003-2016.
However, despite his tremendous popularity among the masses, Junior was never able to secure points championship, something his late father did a record 7 times on his way to becoming one of the most successful drivers of all time. However, don’t take that to mean Junior wasn’t capable of winning, he certainly won many times on the NASCAR tour, he was just never able to string together enough wins in a season to take home the title.
One thing that Junior was able to do well was parlaying his popularity into financial success. He was often chosen as the face of the brands that sponsored his cars, leading to lucrative endorsement deals that provided he and his family a sizable fortune. Thanks to his insane marketability, Junior has amassed a fortune worth an estimated $300 million. Along with a stack of cash, Junior has acquired an amazing collection of cars and quite a few nice homes, all of which are featured in the video below.
Go ahead and hit that play button and sit back and learn a little more about the man himself, with a full recap of his childhood and early years as well as his professional career.

Calvert DeForest, best known to TV fans as Larry Bud Mellman, died on March 19 at age 85 after a long illness.
He was a recurring character on Late Night with David Letterman, when the show traded more in the absurd and silly. I'll always be grateful to him for the laughs he created, especially at his own expense.
We need more like him who don't take themselves too seriously and realize laughter is usually the only way to get through this crazy world. I raise my toast on a stick in tribute.

Davido, who is known for wealth and influence on social media, once said he had made a lot of money and he was tired of making money in a video. However, in his tweet today, the singer stated that he almost cried when he changed his dollars to naira at the rate of N500 to a dollar.
Tether USD – USDT / NGN pair The addition of the USDT stablecoin is likely going to be welcome. Due to increased devaluation amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CNB) has more than twice devalued the official Nigerian Naira exchange rate. Doporučuji proto název hesla změnit na "Kódy měnových jednotek" Dále pak doplnit, že se jedná o třípísmenný kód podle normy ISO-4217. Jsem tu nový a nevím, jak se mění názvy hesel, aby se nerozpadly odkazy. Popular occasion promoter, Cubana Chief Priest has taken to social media to share some video about his flawless time with Davido. Davido is a songwriter and record producer. He is the son of a Nigerian Billionaire, Prince Adedeji Adeleke, owner of Adeleke University in Ede, Osun State, and CEO of Pacific Holdings Limited.
Na reality. Davido, why you no come change from me. I get dollar for my offshore account. Seriously, I'd never make a mistake by changing one dollar to naira out of it.


A year ago to the day, Neil Peart left us.
Neil Peart was an artist in every true sense of the word, and the impact and influence he has had on me as not only as a musician, but as a person is profound.
He was regarded by many as the best drummer in the world, and for good reasons. He could hit the hell out of the drums, his technique was astonishing and his musicality was adventurous and audacious. Furthermore, he never stopped refusing to learn. At the height of his career, he teamed up with Freddie Gruber to enhance his drumming skills further. Over the 4 decades he played with Rush, he was always evolving.
He was also the lyricist for the band and has penned some of my favourite songs of all time. There is of course the highly conceptual and fantastical lyrics of the albums they did in the 70s but their transformation into the 80s led to truthful observations with pinpoint accuracy. In ‘Limelight’ he explores the notion of fame and his difficulty coming to the terms with it. He never wanted to be famous, he just wanted to be good. In ‘Subdivisions’ he tackled the idea of being an outcast within school and society, an anthem for every Rush fan who has felt that sense of alienation. I could go on for hours about this. Within Peart’s lyrics were a curiosity for the way the world and humans work. You will only find a minimal amount of love songs amongst the 167 songs that they wrote.
Neil Peart was also an avid reader and a motorcyclist. He is not your typical image of the rock and roll star. He would motorcycle between gigs, spend his downtime reading and turned up to each show with an untempered sense of professionalism and discipline.
Neil Peart was also an author. He wrote travel books about the time he spent on his motorbike and it was actually travel that offered him catharsis and healing when tragedy struck. In the late 90s he lost his daughter to a car crash and his wife to cancer ten months later. In response, he retreated into a solitary journey that took him across Canada and all the way down the west coast of America. The book that documents this (‘Ghost Rider’) digs deep into the world of what commenced afterwards and how he found the will to carry on and start a new family.
Undeniably, the most tragic part of his untimely passing of 67 years old is that he had not had more time with his family and his young daughter. He had done everything and more for Rush and their loyal fanbase.
As I continue my career as a musician, I often think about the values that Neil Peart held and how he presented himself to the world. Although he is gone, his legacy remains with the many musicians and people he has inspired.

Norwegian-born, Ida Maria is a missionary-educated (just HOW MANY singers have religious backgrounds?) newcomer to the music scene. She is the first singer I've heard for a long time who manages to combine fun, excitement and originality into her performances. Think Bjork's rockier younger sister.
Quoted as being "sectionable but sensational", her live performances are meant to be excellent. If you're going to listen to just one song, visit her MySpace page and click on 'Louie'.
I'm looking forward to her album, which is due to be released next year.


Ladybird Johnson was a reluctant and unexpected first lady. She was unsure of her abilities as a public speaker, and aware of her place well within the shadow of Jacqueline Kennedy. She had an unpopular husband known best for ushering us into the Vietnam era and she stepped into her role as first lady under a cloud of public grief that would mark the beginning of decades of disillusionment and social change. She was commonly referred to as "wife in capital letters". She wore a lot of yellow.
But. She also played an important role in the formation and implementation of the Headstart program, which today services more than 22 million children nationwide and was essential to the formation of the Redwoods National Park.
We assume we know people, what they stand for, what they do, and what's important to them. That Ladybird Johnson was one of the nation's early environmentalists may surprise us speaks to our tendency to pigeonhole people, and judge them based on their most public selves. That she so quietly accomplished so much speaks to her ability to remain true to herself, regardless of her public obligations and personal challenges.
Do what you love. Do what's important. You never know what you might accomplish.

Fans and neighbors of Disco remember Donna Summer | News
ENGLEWOOD, Florida - Fans and neighbors of disco icon, Donna Summer, are remembering the singer who died Thursday after a battle with cancer. Summer died at her condo in Naples. She was 63 years-old.
Mark Thibault lives down the street from Donna Summer's home in the North Manasota Key community in Englewoood, where she lived with her husband. He says he met Summer at a party a few years back.
"I feel bad. I didn't know she was sick," said Thibault. "She was very nice, very gracious and very humble."
The Boston-born Summer sang much of the soundtrack of the 1970's, with hits including "I Feel Love", "Last Dance" and "Hot Stuff." She won a total of five Grammys during her career.
Some fans are still taking in her death.
"I think it's a big shock. She was in my era. We loved her back in those days," said fan, John Jaycox.
"It's a big blow I'm sure to a lot of people. They're probably not too many big disco stars left. You know. It's just too bad," said fan, Richard Bourdeaux.
Summer is survived by her husband, three daughters, and four grandchildren.
No word yet on funeral arrangements or if there will be any type of a public memorial.


Tracey Wainman is one of the Canadian skating greats. She never won a world or Olympic title, she may no longer be a household name on a par with Kurt Browning, Joannie Rochette or Brian Orser, but she is a skater’s skater, a legend in her time and a true survivor. Twice Canadian champion, in 1981 and 1986, she holds the record as the youngest ever titlist: at the age of 13, she won the 1981 crown in Halifax. The previous year, at the age of 12, she stole the show at the 1980 World Figure Skating Championships in Dortmund, West Germany, where she finished 10th in the free skating, 14th overall, and earned a prolonged standing ovation from an adoring crowd – it was the stuff of A Star is Born. In 1981, she finished 10th at the World Championships, 1st at St Ivel Ice International, 1st at Skate Canada and was awarded the Athlete of the Year prize by the Canadian Press. Then came one of skating’s great downfalls, followed by a storybook comeback. After a five-year absence from the world stage, she regained her Canadian title at the 1986 Canadian Championships with an emotional, gripping performance to upset Elizabeth Manley, the defending champion, and capped her career with a 9th place finish at the 1986 World Championships in Geneva.
But titles and statistics and are not what made Tracey Wainman a star. It was the magical quality of her skating. She had flow, expressiveness and musicality, a sense of showmanship and ability to wear her heart on her sleeve. She radiated both joy and sadness, but showed a sense of humour too, rolling her eyes at the camera and wiggling her bum at the judges. David Wilson, the skating choreographer, once told me she had a “Judy Garland” charisma, an ability to “give herself to the audience”; he calls her one of his great inspirations. She was described as “Canada’s Janet Lynn” by Joanne McLeod, a prominent Canadian skating coach (Lynn was an ethereal American skater from the early 1970s who mesmerised audiences with her grace, serenity and artistry, but never won a World or Olympic title). “Some skaters smile with their face, Tracey has an ability to smile with her whole body,” said the choreographer Uschi Keszler in 1983. Toller Cranston, who used to skate with Wainman at the Toronto Cricket Skating & Curling Club, dubbed her “the Canadian diamond in the sky”. Ellen Burka, who coached both of them, once compared her to Margot Fonteyn.
Her forte was not triple jumps, although she did have a beautiful double axel and triple salchow, when they worked. Her technical prowess came from her speed, flow, attack and the quality of her edges. She jumped with a pointed toe in the air, had one of the best layback spins of the day (see YouTube of 1981 Worlds for an example) and possessed a “terrier-like energy”, according to one scribe. Like Toller Cranston, she had a very distinctive, tipped-forward entry to her triple salchow (her current pupil Alexandra Najarro shares the same trait) and had a flying camel that Dorothy Hamill would envy. She could express more with one hand-gesture or flick of the finger than many skaters could with their entire body. And her deep, flowing edges were a result of her expertise in compulsory figures: Ellen Burka said she was the best skater of figures she had ever seen (she finished 6th at the 1981 Worlds in figures at 13; at 18, she finished 5th at Worlds in figures but actually placed second in two of them).
That she retired at the relatively early age of 18 was disappointing for skating fans, but understandable for Wainman, who had endured a rollercoaster of a career, and had to re-learn her jumps at the age of 17. It was the classic child-star trajectory. Debbi Wilkes, the skating commentator, later said she had been a “sacrificial lamb”, after the Canadian Figure Skating Association (CFSA) sent her to the World Championships at the age of 12 and made her the sport’s poster child, heaping pressure and unrealistic expectations on her rather than nurturing her talent gradually; the media even declared her a favourite for the 1984 Olympic gold four years prematurely. “The CFSA took one of the best skaters this country has ever produced and destroyed her,” wrote Wilkes in her 1996 book, Ice Time. As her body changed, Wainman started to have trouble with her jumps, and lost her confidence. The CFSA withdrew her from international competitions and her motivation dropped. Her comeback, from 1984-1986, was a joy to watch, and one can only wish her career had gone on longer. Thankfully, she has gone on to success as a coach, so is continuing to contribute to the sport. These pages are designed to record the details of an incredible career, and pay tribute to a remarkable athlete, one who David Wilson once called “the unsung hero” of Canadian skating.

Lois January (above with robot friend) was born in Texas in 1912. Her mini biography can be read here on IMDB. Despite the appearance of the above photograph, she was actually uncredited in this production – The Vanishing Shadow (1934) – in which she appears with the robot. Lois played the part of a Secretary to one of the main characters. Interestingly, Lee J. Cobb had his first part in The Vanishing Shadow, also uncredited, appearing as a Roadwork Foreman.
The Vanishing Shadow was a 12-episode serial. The robot in the photograph appears in the first episode (right), and I believe that the entire serial can be viewed on YouTube (episode one appears at the foot of this Blog entry).
At least two more publicity photographs of Lois January from The Vanishing Shadow are available for collectors to find, and eBay is a good starting point.
Lois January’s other roles include that of a manicurist (uncredited) in The Wizard of Oz, heroine of several Western films, and an actress who appeared in many well known American TV series from the 1950s to the 1970s. She died in 2006 at the age of 93.

Life writes drama, and the drama only word that can describes life of Lamar Odom. Famous basketball player is currently hospitalized and fighting for his life.
Lamar Odom was born in 1979 in a troubled family in Queens, New York. As a child he met with major problems, as his father was a heroin addict who was paying little attention to the family. His mother died of colon cancer when Lamar was only 12 years old. Troubled childhood left a mark on Lamar, but he managed to find the salvation in basketball.
Los Angeles Clippers were the first team where Odom played. Lamar was chosen as the 4th pick in the first round and he was supposed to represent the future of the franchise from the City of Angels. Odom played the power forward position, and he was fast with a good three-point shot. A particular problem for the opponents was the fact that Odom is left-handed. The greatest successes in his professional career he achieved in the jersey of Los Angeles Lakers. With the famous franchise he won two NBA Championships and gained the status of the real star. After leaving the Lakers started his decline, and played three more years for the Dallas Mavericks and Laboral Kutxa.
Lamar Odom was unable to transfer success he had on the court to his life. The death of a child is something that influenced him a lot. His one-year son died in his sleep of SIDS. Odom is headed in the wrong direction and more was heard of him as a celebrity than the famous basketball player. After that followed marriage with one of the Kardashian sisters, Chloe, and his participation in the reality show. The marriage did not last, and Lamar is going in to the wrong direction fast.
A few days ago Lamar Odom was again was the main topic in the tabloids. Once a great player was found lying unconscious in a ranch that serves as a brothel for famous clientele. Odom was hospitalized and doctors are fighting for his life. According to information coming from the United States, Odom is critical. It is not officially announced, but it is believed that Lamar had a stroke. Currently, the hospital and doctors have trouble to bring in the normal functioning of the heart and kidneys.
A large number of athletes across the United States sent a message of support and prayers to Lamar. The Los Angeles Lakers are in shock over what happened, and the club is canceled training. Great support was given by the Magic Johnson stressing that Lamar is a great man who had a very difficult life. According to the Lakers’ legend, Odom was always there for his friends and he gave himself completely.
It is believed that Lamar Odom was struggling with depression for his entire life. There are some information that he used cocaine to cope with all the problems. Lamar won many matches and I hope that in this most important game he will come out as the winner.


Once in a while you stumble upon a song that instantly captivates you and sticks with you for years to come. This happened to me when I first heard the song El Triste by Mexican singer José José. That first encounter was a live recording of his performance at the “Latin Song Festival II” contest on March 15, 1970.
The song and its performance was such a hit, that the audience at the festival – giving him a standing ovation – demanded that José José should win the annual singing competition, but in the end, even with the impact that he caused, he got third place. Still, it meant the consolidation of José José as a talented singer of international fame and launched him into stardom in Mexico and Latin America.
José José was born José Romulo Sosa Ortiz in Mexico City on February 17, 1948 to a family of musicians. His mother was a concert pianist while his father was the tenor in the National Opera of Mexico. So it’s no surprise he went into music himself. José took the stage name ‘José José’ in memory of his father who had abandoned him as a small child, then passed away when José was 17, but from whom he says he inherited his voice.
The song El Triste is considered to be one of the most popular romantic ballads ever released. In English, El Triste translates to ‘the sad man’ or ‘the sad one’ and talks about the pain of passing away. And in a way José José was a sad man himself having to battle with depression, alcoholism and drugs.
José José passed away on September 28, 2019 due to complications from pancreatic cancer. He did not go silently though and still made headlines after his body was claimed to be missing by his children. This spurred into an Elvis Presley effect and fans wondering if he was really dead. Eventually he was cremated two weeks after his death.
After reading this you might think why I needed to tell such a dramatic story. Well, while the story of José José does have sad aspects, it is also a story of life. And legacy. And above all the power that went into one particular song, El Triste. And maybe knowing a little part of the story behind the man, the song may sound even more powerful and will captivate you as much as it captivated me.
For now, enjoy this spectacular live performance of El Triste at the Festival de la Canción Latina on March 15, 1970.

Mexican singer-songwriter, Daniela Soqui, finished producing her first CD, titled “Sueños Vivos”. Her music could be categorized as world music: trova, latin pop, with a latin American folk fusion.
Daniela has had several performances throughout different locations in San Antonio, Texas, where she moved to finish her Master’s in Communication Arts. She has contributed writing a song for the short film “Finding Home“, the independent film “Secuestrada”, as well as a bilingual song for a children’s project titled, “knock, knock”.
Rooted to her family, since very young ages, she was surrounded by a musical environment, part of the family dynamics especially on Saturday afternoons, was to sing together. She and her brothers would pick up the guitar and try to follow the chords their dad played. For this reason her music style has been influenced by the trova genre and South American folklore. Her bohemian dad and her mother, who loves classical music, inherited her fascination for music, which enabled her to express herself through it.
Daniela began writing during her teenage years, mostly thoughts that only the pages of her note pads knew. While listening to what close friends wrote and sharing hers’, she developed the necessary confidence to compose. Allowing her to convert her lifetime personal experiences along with her passion for music into what are now the wonderful lyrics of her songs; songs that when played with her distinguished voice and accompanied by the sound of various instruments, create a harmonic style that instills hope and life.
Soqui has come into the music, going against voices of discouragement. Phrases like “musicians starve”, “the music industry environment is harsh”, emphasized by people with great influence in her life, delayed her to acknowledge that this was something she wanted to peruse and develop. Nevertheless, inspired by her love towards life, she keeps herself firmly conveying: “If something is worth fighting for, it’s to persevere in the gifts that have been given to us, using them to spread happiness and hope to others.”

“GOODBYE” is the debut album of Doji Morita, released in November 1975.
The copy of the album is: This is a letter sent to you by a lonely singer-songwriter who is in the middle of his youth just like you. Now she sends this to you.
In October 1975, Doji Morita made her debut with the single record “Sayonara Boku no Tomodachi” (Goodbye My Friend). By 1983, Doji Morita had released 7 albums and 4 singles, and after a live performance at Shinjuku Loft in 1983, Doji Morita went on hiatus without announcing their retirement.
Doji Morita’s style was characterized by curly hair, sunglasses to hide her true face, and masculine clothing. She never showed her real face on record jackets or in concerts. Doji Morita used her stage name and did not disclose her real name or real life. Doji Morita also said that the lyrics she wrote were not based on her real life experiences, but were a projection of her desires. Doji Morita avoided imbuing her work with a sense of life.
Doji Morita died of heart failure in April 2018 at the age of 65.
In the 1980s, I was a high school student at the time, and my friends and I were at the Shinjuku Loft. We went to a live concert by Doji Morita. The PA was not working well for the first half of the concert, so she sang completely live and played the guitar without using a microphone. Her live singing was wonderful to me. It is a memory from my distant past.
