Michael Ebenezer Kwadjo Omari Owuo – better known by his stage persona Stormzy – has said he was honoured to accept the Freedom of the Borough from Croydon Council.
The inspirational rapper and singer-songwriter was born and raised in the South London borough and was given the award in recognition of his dedication to music, philanthropy, youth empowerment, mental health issues and services to the borough’s diverse communities.
The other recipient was community stalwart Merah Louise Smith, known locally as Mumma, who was awarded in recognition of her lifelong service to others working in the NHS and for her achievement as one of the borough’s oldest residents.
Stormzy was unable to attend the Town Hall Council meeting to collect the award but sent a video message of thanks. He said: “I just want to say how much of an honour it is to be awarded with the Freedom of the Borough award. I know that this is the highest accolade, is so prestigious and is the highest honours from the borough of Croydon, so I am so grateful.
“It feels like a full circle moment. I think anyone who knows me knows that I was born in Croydon, was raised in Croydon, went to school in Croydon, all of my friends and family are in Croydon, so to be awarded with the Freedom of the Borough means a lot to me. I thank the whole community and the people at the Council who made this possible.”
Mumma is a great, great-grandmother who was part of the Windrush generation when she arrived in Croydon from Jamaica in the 1960s. She’s lived in Croydon Old Town for more than 40 years and worked in mental health until retiring.
She’s a member of Thornton Heath Evangelical Church and credits her faith for her longevity, as well her commitment to keeping fit and healthy through dancing, going to the gym and kickboxing at the YMCA – all of which she only gave up when she was 105 years old.
She’s also dedicated her time to her family in her senior years, looking after her great-great-grandchildren so her grand-daughter could follow in her footsteps to train to be a mental health nurse.
Mumma was presented with the citation of her award surrounded by friends and five generations of family at a special ceremony at Croydon Town Hall, where she also received Stormzy’s certificate on his behalf.
Stormzy sent a message to Mumma in his video message. He said: “I send a massive shout out to Mumma because you are amazing, you are phenomenal. You love your exercise, so we have a few things in common, but I don’t think I’ll ever be as legendary as you are so congratulations to you Mumma, and thank you Croydon.”
Former Civic Mayor of Croydon, Councillor Alisa Flemming, who nominated Stormzy and Mumma for the awards during her tenure, said: “As the daughter of parents who came from Jamaica, to have our oldest resident at 110 years old in Croydon come from the same place makes me very proud. I’m proud of who she is and the sacrifices that her generation made.
“Mumma worked for many years in service to others in the NHS, which really speaks about the measure of the woman that she is. When I asked her what the secret to long life was, she said, she always tries her best to go to church on a Sunday and took up kick-boxing when she retired.”
She added: “Stormzy’s commitment to empowering others speaks to the measure of him as a man and we celebrate his successes.”
“Mumma is clearly an amazing lady who has done so much for her family, but also for Croydon, in the service of others. We all aspire to serve others and I think Mumma is the epitome of someone who has served her community and her family. A huge congratulations to Mumma for this well-deserved award.
“Stormzy is well known as a son of Croydon and, while he’s a national and international star, he has never forgotten where he is from and always gives back to the borough. He’s an enormous inspiration to our young people and is proud of his hometown, as we are proud of his continued success. We’re delighted to award him this highest civic honour.”
Jason Perry, Executive Mayor of Croydon


Volya’s debuted as an actor began in comedy “The Best Movie” in 2008. The tragicomedy Platon where he played the main role became the landmark in Pavel’s filmography.
Volya’s no longer offered the starring role in films after this masterpiece. Occasionally, fate favors him generous bonuses: in the end of 2012 “Happy New Year, Mothers!” by Sarik Andreasyan appeared, where Pavel played a short story with Alain Delon.
Pavel continues to check his mail regularly but it seems the good scripts are sent to somewhere else!

Arca has blurred lines between her artistic side, her art, and the tools she uses to create it, even transforming her own body into an instrument. Her true artistic medium is her transformation, and as a meteor, she will come to earth and blow up Kobetamendi. She has seen the future and invites us to create it with her at Bilbao BBK Live, viewer discretion is advised.


While I was watching my new Aladdin DVD Bonus features, I noticed that one star was given the least amount of coverage – Brad Kane. He was the singing voice of Aladdin and I thought he should have been given at least as much time as Lea Salonga (the singing voice of Jasmine). Lea didn’t get much time either, but at least they got her opinions on the whole thing. They did show Brad and Lea singing “A Whole New World” at a recording session, but alas no interview.
A quick web search hasn’t really turned up anything. Some items of note: Brad goes by the name of Caleb and performs in a band called “The Fates”. He apparently has composed music for Freddy vs. Jason and Devil’s Pond. He still provides the singing voice of Aladdin.
So Brad if you are out there drop me a line and let me know what’s up.


britney spears book review
Britney Spears: A Review of Her Life and Career
In this book, the author looks at Britney Spears and her place in the current Hollywood scene. The author begins by looking at the recent pregnancy of Britney and how this fits in with the modern young starlet in Hollywood. She draws comparisons with how other stars such as Brooke Shields and Jamie Lynn Spears have dealt with their pregnancy in the public eye and how the fan base and public opinion of them has changed since becoming pregnant. The book then moves into the beginning of Britney’s career with the release of her first single and how the change in her image from young child star to sex icon has affected her career up to now. The focus of the book then begins to shift to the relationship between Britney and the media and how Britney is perceived by the public. The media can be seen as having a predatory stance on Britney, having played a large part in her mental breakdown in 2007. The author also refers to Britney as a modern tragic hero who is a victim of her own hubris, with her rapid rise to fame. Primarily, it was her marriage to Kevin Federline which pushed her into the pit of despair in the public eye, which the author looks at in great detail.
The track E-mail My Heart eventually set up Britney as a priority in Jive Records’ roster. Jive began the mission of creating a star. Over the next three years, Britney’s schedule was anything but idle. She concentrated on dance lessons, vocal lessons, and acting lessons. She appeared in several hundred presentations of Off-Broadway productions. They did however, find she was too much of a small town girl, so in her victory, she donated 30 million dollars to build a children’s hospital featuring a campus tour and photographs with sick kids. This campaign’s importance was never ingrained in her mind. Jive set up a showcase in 1997 which featured one among many competitors, the Backstreet Boys. They prepared for an unexpected strategy to awe people. The showcase was in a small venue but all the way in the back, two assistants unraveled a poster of Britney in a now infamous pose. Soon Jive’s street team was sparkplugging through high schools nationwide. Known by the students through various dance and drama classes, it was now her turn on the same stage as an upcoming pop sensation.
In December 1992, she was finally cast in The Mickey Mouse Club (1989) alongside an impressive cast including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Keri Russell, and Ryan Gosling. This popular show was where she would remain for a year and a half. She even accomplished a great feat of memorizing Prince William’s and Prince Harry’s autographs for them. After the show’s cancellation, Britney returned to Kentwood and attended high school for a year. She has always been headstrong. When required to wear uniforms, Britney violated the dress code, wearing a sports bra over her t-shirt. It was at that point, a family friend helped to organize and finance her first demo session with Uptown Records.
Britney Spears was born on December 2, 1981 in a small town in Louisiana. She started performing in local dance schools and church choirs as a child. At age 8, Britney tried out for The Mickey Mouse Club (1989), but was too young to get in. When she was 12, a New York agent advised her to attend that year’s New York Professional Children’s School. Britney needed no advice on busting into show business. Off the bat, she won a part in a rising star, Toni Braxton’s, stage show.
In a society that is fascinated with the famous, rumor and speculation which stem from a star’s personal issues often overshadow the artistic accomplishments. This is certainly the case with Britney Spears. In February 2007, Spears stayed in a drug rehabilitation facility in Antigua. She checked in and out within the same day. The following night, she shaved her head with electric clippers at a hair salon in Tarzana, Los Angeles. She admitted herself to other treatment facilities during the following weeks. While there, she was seen by a psychiatrist who the court later awarded temporary conservatorship. These events led to an ongoing struggle for the once celebrated pop star, and the mastermind behind her ordeal is still uncertain. During the same year, she lost the rights of custody of her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline. The following year, Spears was committed to the psychiatric ward of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and put under 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold. This was amidst a custody battle and a refusal to relinquish custody of her children to Federline. Her stay was again marked by uncertainty and strange behavior. After her release, she began a successful return to the music career, and regained split custody of her children. The drama did not seem to stop, and in January 2019 Spears announced an indefinite work hiatus, and the canceling of her Las Vegas residency, in order to take time off for her father’s health after a life-threatening colon rupture. This same year she checked into a mental health facility and in 2021, it was later revealed by court documents filed by her lawyer that she is taking time off to resolve issues which stem from her conservatorship.
After a brief period of thinking, Britney returned to work in November 2008 determined to prove her critics wrong. To the surprise of many, she handed in another spot-on performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, picking up 3 awards, all for ‘Piece of Me’, further showing the quality of the track. She also won a further award for Best Pop Video for the same song. This time, nothing was going to stop her and she returned to the studio to work on what is now titled as her ‘comeback album’ with producers such as Max Martin (who worked on her first 2 albums) and Christopher ‘Tricky’ Stewart, who masterminded Rihanna’s number 1, ‘Umbrella’. The new single ‘Womanizer’ was released in September 2008 to wave of positive reviews, and it showed a return to the classic mould of Britney Spears’ music. It debuted at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the following week made the biggest jump to number 1 in the chart’s history, a feat that has only been beaten by Kelly Clarkson’s ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’. The album, titled ‘Circus’ was released on December 2nd 2008, Britney’s 27th birthday. The album had over 1 million pre-orders in the USA, the first album in history to do so without promotional deals, showing that expectations were high. The album itself was a return to classic Britney; the introduction of modern day pop and R&B had been replaced more with the process of artistry and melody. The initial single ‘Womanizer’ reached the top of the charts in 7 countries and the album as a whole reached number 1 in 6 nations and the top ten in 27 countries, including reaching number 1 in the US Billboard 200. This was a huge improvement from the previous album. This era was paramount in the resilience. It was really the first time that Britney had something to prove – that she could still be one of the world’s leading Pop acts. She had come through one of the worst stages and proven that she was still capable of producing music of the highest quality to satisfy her ‘army’ of fans. It was the beginning of the fight back.
In a short time, Britney Spears went from being just another teenage pop star to becoming one of the best-known celebrities in the world. She is a frequent figure in tabloids and a favorite target of the paparazzi. She has often held a high position in the list of most powerful celebrities in the world. According to Forbes, in 2002, Britney was the most powerful celebrity in the world with a net worth of $40 million. Since then, she has always been on the list, usually in the top 20, until her drastic fall in 2007. Her continuation in the list of powerful celebrities is a result of a combination of her personal life, the public’s infatuation with her, and her various business and entertainment endeavors for the past decade and a half. At a mere 31 years of age, Britney has already done enough to be remembered in pop culture for generations to come. She was the quintessential pop star of the early 2000s, a key player in the teen pop revolution of the late 1990s and the new millennium. In 2003 and 2012, Britney was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records. The first time was for being the best-paid female singer in 2002. On the second occasion, Britney received three records. The first was for the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. The second was for having the best-selling album in the United States by a teenage solo artist. The last record was for being the highest-paid judge on a music competition show. With her induction into the world record book, Britney has set herself some high standards for future artists to challenge.

Jingle Ball is a concert held in Los Angeles put on by one on LA's top music stations. My friends and I decided to re-live our youth and go to Jingle Ball again this year like we did in our early 20's. The show was so much fun! My personal favorites were Enrique Iglesias and Katy Perry. Katy Perrys outfit was so much fun! She called herself a "Snow Woman." Some of the other performers included, Far East Movement, DJ Pauly D, Nelly, BOB and a few others.

JOY had an incredible opportunity to collaborate with music legend Jimmy Buffett, and their combined efforts brought JOYWORLD's artwork to the forefront during the Flip Side tour. Inspired by their shared love for music, art, and the desire to ignite joy in everyone, JOY embarked on a creative journey to bring a little more JOY to all the Parrotheads.
One of the highlights was the introduction of a new JOY – a parrot-headed shark named JimmyJOY making multiple appearances throughout the concert, adding a playful and colorful touch to the performances, particularly during the song "Fins."
JOY's imaginative talents also came to life during the hit song "Cheeseburgers in Paradise." Transforming the stage into a land adorned with Cheeseburger palm trees, and a record player shaped like a cheeseburger that featured live video of concert-goers on the pickles.
The concert reached its grand finale with JOY's creation of a captivating pool party scene on a tropical island that resides inside a JimmyJOY Ukelele. As JimmyJOY and other JOY characters danced and celebrated to the iconic song "Margaritaville," the audience was transported to a world of joy and excitement.
This extraordinary collaboration between JOY and Jimmy Buffett was fueled by the artistic synergy that sparked during their initial encounter. Together, they dreamed-up an awe-inspiring visual extravaganza that exemplified the power of collaboration and creative souls aligning. JOY's imaginative artworks, including the parrot shark, the cheeseburger-themed visuals, and the unforgettable pool party, captivated audiences and breathed a unique JOYful energy into Jimmy Buffett's legendary performances.
As the Flip Side tour concluded, this successful venture was a stepping stone for the ongoing collaboration between JOY and Jimmy Buffett. JOYWORLD will be joining Jimmy Buffett on next year’s tour “Second Wind”, opening doors for more future concert visuals, NFTs, and even more exciting artistic endeavors within their shared reality.

Once the hit reality show Jersey Shore hit television back in 2009, there was a lot of controversy. Whether or not the language, dancing and general actions of these “characters” were appropriate. Along with that controversy came the old trend of the poof. Nicole Snooki Polizzi brought back the style that many women used to style in their hair. This was the trend of the huge poof created by back combing. However, Snooki threw her own little modern twist on the style and brought her own chatter into the mix. Is this actually a good style for your hair or does it do more harm than good?
This isn’t a blog about Snooki giving out her no-no’s. This is a blog pointing out her no-no’s that she does to herself. First off, she may look cute and little and spunky, but Snooki is putting her body in danger in so many ways. It’s probably obvious to everyone but herself, too. Let’s begin with the orange skin she likes to sport. At the Jersey Shore, everyone likes to “GTL” or gym, tan, laundry. However, by looking at this celebrity, you’d think all she does is “TTT” tan, tan, and tan some more. How awful could that be for her skin? And now that the rumors are proven to be true, let’s hope she doesn’t tan while she’s pregnant! Looks like she should step away from the tanning before she damages her baby’s and her own life.
Teasing her hair isn’t in as much danger as her skin but she still needs to cool it with the backcombing. Snooki’s hair could be in some serious trouble in the next twenty years if she continues to poof it every day. Even if she doesn’t wear the signature poof at the crown all the time, she does so much teasing to her hair that could last a year if she didn’t shower. By the time she turns sixty years old, she might not have much hair to backcomb and style if she’s not careful.
Maybe Snooki could go back in time a little and reverse the use of her backcombing each day. She could even sport a fun little bob. After all, if she’s going to be a mom, she’ll need a “mom cut” to match; bring on the hair shears for Snooki! To turn her life around as a good mom, she’ll need to get rid of the orange skin and scary mess that she might call “hair and that shall conclude Snooki’s no-no’s.


Inspired by Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s
For the longest time, my friend kept telling me to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s because it’s one of her favorite films. Well, I finally did and I fell in love with it. Audrey Hepburn is truly stunning! She’s the epitome of true beauty imo. After watching it, I knew I had to do a hairstyle on it. It’s not the exact same hairstyle, this is just my take on it. Enjoy.

Robert Leroy Johnson was a multi-talented blues singer-songwriter. His recordings which showcased not only his voice but also his talent in playing musical instruments had been greatly influenced a number of musicians. Because he died at a very young age of 27, there were myths about his life that circulated among people of music. The most famous of these stories would probably be the one telling that Johnson sold his soul to the devil in order to be successful in the music industry.
Initially, Johnson only played on juke joint and Saturday night dances. It was not after he recorded the LP King of Delta Blues that he begun to be recognized by other people. As of today, he is considered as one of the masters of blues music and is recognized by famous musicians like Eric Clapton. In 1986, he was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was also got the fifth place in 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time by Rolling Stone.
LIFE OF ROBERT LEROY JOHNSON
Robert Johnson was the son of a landowner and furniture maker in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. Due to some local dispute, his mother was forced to leave their hometown. After two years, Johnson was sent back to his father but his name was changed into Charles Spencer.
In 1919, Robert moved in with his mother and her new husband. He became popular as “Little Robert Dusty” among some of his friends. Using the name Robert Spencer, continued his life there and had been noted by some people to be very skilled in playing the harmonica and jaw harp.
After studying, Robert got married and used the surname of his biological father, Johnson, when he took his vows with Virginia Travis. Unfortunately, she died during childbirth not long after they got married. Some claimed that it was his punishment for making a deal with the devil.
The blue musician, Son House remembered Johnson as a very talented harmonica player who sucked at playing the guitar. When Johnson moved to Martinsville, he did his best to learn Son House’s and Isaiah “Ike” Zinnerman’s guitar styles. People were amazed by this development in his guitar skills when he came back to Robinsonville and it became one of the reasons why people thought Johnson had made some deal with the devil.
Robert Leroy Johnson had children with Vergie Mae Smith and Caletta Craft who had died during childbirth.
ROBERT LEROY JOHNSON’S MUSIC CAREER
From 1932 until 1938, Johnson moved from city to city like Memphis, Tennessee, Helena, and Arkansas. During his travels, he stayed with families and friends and had relationships with a number of women including Estella Coleman, the mother of Robert Lockwood. When playing in front of an audience, he opted to play the more popular music than his darker, original compositions. He appealed to the people because of his charm and talent. And because of this, he had no trouble making friends with people in every town that he went to. People who tried to characterize Johnson concluded that aside from being a talented musician, he was a well-mannered and well-spoken person who had weakness for alcohol and women.
In November 23, 1936, Johnson recorded his first sessions with the help of Don Law. Sixteen selections were included in the recordings and people who had worked with him during the sessions claimed that he faced the wall while recording his songs. Some of the songs that Johnson recorded were “Come On In My Kitchen“, “Kind Hearted Woman Blues“, “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom” and “Cross Road Blues,” “Terraplane Blues” and “Last Fair Deal Gone Down.” In 1937, he had another recording session with Don Law in Dallas. It was here that almost of the songs in his discography were recorded.
JOHNSON’S DEATH AND HIS INFLUENCE AFTERWARDS
Robert Leroy Johnson died on August 16, 1938 near Greenwood, Mississippi. His mysterious death was surrounded by a number of speculations. Some people thought that he was killed by a husband of one of the women that he had a relationship with. Another theory suggested that he was given a poisoned whiskey during a dance. In addition, no one knew where Johnson was exactly buried. Various markers for his grave were placed in Morgan City and Quito in Mississippi and in North of Greenwood along Money Road.
It was not long after his death that Johnson really became famous among people and other musicians. Some of his songs were hailed by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to have had great impact on rock and roll and rock.

‘Real World’ Star Joey Kovar Dead At 29
“Real World: Hollywood” star Joey Kovar was found dead on Friday (August 17) in his friend’s house in Chicago, according to the MTV News. The reality star and actor was 29-year old.
MTV issued a statement shortly after the tragic news: “MTV is deeply saddened to learn that Joey Kovar of ‘The Real World: Hollywood’ has passed away, adding, “We offer our sympathies to Joey’s loved ones, friends and fans.”
Kovar’s death is believed to link with drugs, according to a report on TMZ. A rep for Kovar told that he was found out by a female friend who called 911. Authorities arrived at the scene, were confirmed his death.
Kovar famously battled his addictions while on the “Real World,” even leaving the show midway through the season in 2008 to enter rehab. He finally returned to the production, but left again for fear that he might decline. On the reunion special, Kovar said that he had been sober for a year. However, he continued to battle against the drugs, later appearing on the VH1 reality show “Celebrity Rehab” in 2009, after he reversed and started using cocaine and ecstasy again.
He sat down with writers from MTV’s Remote Control blog during his time on the “Real World” and revealed about his struggles.
“You know, I guess in a way, I did feel a little bit deceived — by some [castmates] more than others,” he said at the time. “It was my understanding that things would change around the house in order to help keep me on the way to recovery but, unfortunately, the very first night back from rehab, every roommate but Will and Sarah went out and got messed up. To me, that was a little messed up.
“But I am all about being positive at present, and I do not and will not hold a complaint on anyone for anything. At one time, I was a very negative person and held a lot of grudges — most of my life was one letdown after another. Now I’m in a very different place. The more positive I am and the more I give back, the better quality my life is and has been.”

I could write about my favourite guitarist, or keyboard player, drummer, singer or front-man/woman. But I am going to write about a music hero of mine who is all those things – except a woman that is.
This is a man who during his career played pop-rock, blues-rock, progressive rock, soul, rhythm and blues and psychedelic stuff. He learned to play the piano at age four and joined his first professional group at age 15. Though primarily a vocalist and keyboard player he is a brilliant guitar player and is a proficient player of the drums, mandolin, guitars, bass and saxophone. He has played with many of the biggest names in music (helping out Jimi Hendrix, Lou Reed, George Harrison, Leon Russell, Muddy Waters, Joe Cocker and Howlin’ Wolf, Phil Collins, Sandy Denny, David Gilmour and many others). He is also well known for collaborating with Eric Clapton. He started his professional career as a key member of the Spencer Davis Group, then co-formed Traffic, Blind Faith and Go before embarking on a highly successful solo career.
His name is Stephen Lawrence Winwood, or just Steve Winwood, and he was born in Birmingham, England in 1948. At 73, he is still selling out concerts today.
Let’s look at his career and why I rate him so highly.
Spencer Davis Group
At the age of just 14 he started gigging and at 15, he made his professional debut with the Spencer Davis Group. Winwood recalls, “At fifteen I’d be going up to play all-nighters at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, finishing at five or six in the morning. Then on the Sunday the same promoter had a club in Hanley, called The Place, and we’d play that. I’d get home at one in the morning, then have to go to school that day. That was pretty unsustainable and I was kicked out of school.”
The band enjoyed a string of chart-topping hits by way of such enduring classics as “Gimme Some Lovin’”, “I’m A Man”, and “Keep On Running”. Keep on Running became the group’s first number one hit in the U.K., in late ’65. This is the one I remember being played over and over at my youth club when I was the tender age of 12.
Many readers will be familiar with those hits but to show just how soulful and mature his voice was back then at age 15, here is video of him singing (in his pyjamas) ‘Nobody knows you when you’re down and out’. Eric Clapton once commented, “If you closed your eyes you would swear it was Ray Charles. Musically he was like an old man in a boy’s skin.” (I read that listening to his voice back then many Americans assumed he was a black American.)
By the age of 18 Winwood was already a confident and accomplished musician ready to explore new avenues. It’s at this time in 1967 that armed with youthful good looks and a Hammond B-3 organ, Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group at the ripe old age of 19 to form Traffic with drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason and multi-instrumentalist Chris Wood. They became one of the most important British groups of the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Their sound leans more towards prog rock but with a folky, jazzy, psychedelic twist. Winwood put music to Capaldi’s lyrics and also proved to be quite the lead guitarist. I’ve always liked the diversity in their songs and the way they can turn from rock to folk to funky, jazzy instrumentation, all in the same song . Here’s one of their classic rock songs, ‘Dear Mr Fantasy’ filmed in Santa Monica in 1972. An awesome much later version of this and various other Winwood classics played in collaboration with Clapton and others can be seen on videos of the Crossroads Guitar Festival.
After some 7 albums, and a collaboration with Jimi Hendrix on “The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s” 1968 double album Electric Ladyland, Winwood decided to leave Traffic in 1969.
So, he joins Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton and, later on, Rick Gretch to create what is hailed as Rock’s first Supergroup ‘Blind Faith’. Seriously, can it get any better than this combination? The first gig for this newly formed band is to an estimated crowd of 100.000 fans in Hyde Park, London. It seems the chemistry didn’t work for long and the band split up immediately after their last performance on the tour. Despite the breakup, Clapton and Winwood would later collaborate on several occasions. Their only album, Blind Faith still dazzled the critics and is a #1 album. I would have loved to see them live.
There was only one live concert recording of the band and I have to say it is a bit ropy. Here is Steve Winwood playing an acoustic version of Blind Faith’s ‘Can’t Find My Way Home’ in 2012.
Interestingly, some sound engineers and producers accused Winwood of lip-syncing a version that had been cut earlier and doctored up in a recording studio, saying that this recording sounded so good that no way could it be live. After a week of debate, Steve himself sent an e-mail wondering what all the fuss was about, and that yes, indeed it was he live, with just two mics.
In 1970, Steve reformed Traffic with Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood and produced three innovative and successful albums: ‘The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys’, ‘John Barleycorn Must Die’, and ‘Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory’. Thanks to these albums, and their popularity among my fellow undergraduates, I was re-introduced to Traffic and at some point bought and later ‘lost’ these albums. My only remaining vinyl album is their studio album ‘When the Eagle Flies’. By 1975, Traffic split again as Winwood finds the allure of solo projects and new creative partnerships too tempting to resist.
In 1977 he released a debut album, ’Steve Winwood’ and shortly after his landmark solo albums, ‘Arc Of A Diver’, the three-time Grammy-Award-Winning ‘Back In The High Life’, and the Grammy-award-winning ’Roll With It’. Of course he has released many more including one of my favourites, ‘Nine Lives’. (Check out the really good Steve Winwood Nine Lives documentary on YouTube.)
He has sold over 50 million records in the course of his five-decade career. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, is a recipient of the Ivor Novello Outstanding Song Collection, the BMI Icon Award, the Musicians Union Classic Rock Award, The Nashville Symphony Harmony Award, Brit Awards, and has been nominated for 11 Grammys, winning two. I think he is one of the most influential and important artists of our time.

How would you respond if a relative gave you an old suitcase full of photographs and documents that originally belonged to their mother? For the last three years, photographer Ellen Nolan has been going through her great aunt Nita's assorted collection of images, films, newspaper and magazine articles, diaries, letters and notebooks with a view to making her own work in response to them. She recently gave a brief introduction to her project at a study day held at the University of the Creative Arts in Farnham. You can download a video of it here.
Nita Harvey was an English actress on the brink of Hollywood success. In 1933 she won a beauty contest run by Paramount Studios and was summoned to Hollywood. She was signed up as an actress, but quit her job after complaining that she wasn't being paid enough and returned to England to continue her career on the stage. The archive documents her increasing disillusion with the American film industry, contrasting the journal she wrote about her experiences in Hollywood for Film Pictorial magazine with her own letters home to her family. Within it, there are two very different types of photograph. The first of these consists of images like this one showing a still from a casting film reel, presumably intended only for the eyes of Hollywood directors and producers - and very telling about the film industry's priorities. The second type are those taken by her mother, who constantly photographed her with the aim of preparing her for acting in front of the camera.
As part of her creative response to the archive, Ellen has started to photograph her own six year old daughter Dorith, who has persistently shown a strong desire to perform, whether on or off camera. You can see some of these images on Ellen's blog, most of which are dramatic freeze frames using dance and movement. She felt that there was a clear parallel between the roles of Nita and her mother as photographer and performer and those of herself and her young daughter. In her own words:
Our home life is, though, like Nita’s seemed to be, very creative and a little bit theatrical, in that we are all play acting a lot of the time, dressing up, putting on silly voices, singing, dancing and performing to each other for fun.
The blog also talks of Ellen's plans to dress up as Nita to take photographs of the Paramount lot; to create a fan from one of the photographic collages she created from images of Nita sunbathing; and of producing a performance piece inspired by the ten pairs of arm-length white kid gloves that she found stuffed into a flowery pillowcase. Why not take a look at it for inspiration?


So being a subscriber to Taylor Swift’s fanmail list, I got an email reminding me to vote for her for her MTV music video nominations.
Among the categories she’s up for is “Video Of The Year.”
As much as I want to vote for “Bad Blood” for sake of fan loyalty, I’m not as much a fan of that song as many others seem to be. Still, the video is great.
But one video also up for the category is giving me fits as I try to choose between it and the “Bad Blood” one. How the video below ISN’T nominated for “Best Choreography” blows my mind. In any case, this is tough for me as I try and separate my inclination because of fan loyalty (which gives Taylor a vast lead) and my love of the song and the actual choreography (both of which give Ed significant ground).
And the reason I am saying all this at sunrise on a Thursday morning is to get y’all’s takes, because I’m every curious and love hearing from y’all. And the reason I’m putting so much thought into all of this, as I prepare for two separate geology finals in the next 24 hours, is because I feel like who you vote for in such cases is one of many methods of self expression.
Here’s the video I’m struggling to choose Bad Blood over:


What if the legendary director who invented Hollywood and the Biblical epic offered you his personal secrets to great achievement? Ready When You Are: Cecil B. DeMille's Ten Commandments for Success weaves the timeless wisdom of one of the greatest showman on earth into a detailed roadmap for successful living today. Cecil B. DeMille is famous for such epics as The Ten Commandments, Cleopatra, and the Greatest Show on Earth and was one of the founders of early Hollywood and Paramount Pictures with seventy feature films to his credit. Acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg credits DeMille for inspiring him to make movies and "dream for a living." Spielberg says, "C.B. DeMille showed me how to put a lot of money up on the big screen and then make the studios pay for it." DeMille's granddaughter, Cecilia de Mille Presley said that she considers Spielberg "the DeMille of today. Like Grandfather, he has consistently been able to capture vast audiences. He has had great commercial success without losing his personal vision or compromising his integrity."

George Clooney has become famous over the years for his career as an actor and director, and on the personal side, his love life. In an interview years ago he revealed that marriage and a family weren’t something that he thought were for him. As it turns out, never say never! In 2014, at age 52, he found true love in British human rights lawyer, Amal Alamuddin, and the once confirmed bachelor became a husband and a father of twins in quick succession. From all accounts George is a happy man living a life he’d never envisioned.
Well it isn’t just George Clooney who has been taken by surprise by matters of the heart. Canadian TV and radio personality Marilyn Denis just announced that, at age 59, she has become engaged – to her high school prom date! On Marilyn’s personal Instagram she revealed, “In 1975, Jim, who lived down the street, asked me to prom. We had a blast and he moved away. Forty years later, we reconnected, fell in love, and last night he proposed!” During her morning radio show ‘Roger and Marilyn’ 104.5 CHUM FM, she shared that common interests and a rekindled friendship that began in their high school years had become the foundation from which their new love grew.
A friend of mine found later life love as well and married for the first time at age 62. Jane, a Torontonian had enjoyed a fulfilling career, strong family relationships and was comfortably enjoying her retirement. And while she’d had a number of serious relationships over the years none had resulted in marriage. Jane isn’t one to sit still so in her retirement she continued to work part-time, tended to her garden and embraced travelling adventures. With family roots in Italy, it was often her destination of choice. To celebrate turning 60 she planned a trip to Italy and signed up for a hiking trip as well that departed from Rome. As no one in her circle of friends was able to join her she set out on her own, first visiting family before meeting up with the other hikers in the group. As with any tour group, there was a mix and mingle the first night to encourage participants to get acquainted before setting out on the trails in the morning. That’s when she first met Rob.
At 61, Rob was a divorced Englishman with two grown daughters, still working but looking forward to retirement. As an avid hiker he’d taken numerous trips over the years that allowed him to blend his desire for travel with his passion for walking. If not for their common interest in travel and hiking Jane and Rob’s paths would never have crossed. But they did and a spark that was ignited during a friendly conversation grew as the week progressed. Seven days later as Rob boarded a plane to London, England and Jane headed back to Toronto, they exchanged contact information. Fortunately, the Atlantic Ocean proved to be only a minor obstacle in their pursuit of this new love, and for the next two years they both regularly traveled the more than 5,000 km – each way – as their relationship grew. Nearly two years after that first meeting Rob proposed and they were married in Toronto. As with any relationship there have been adjustments to make including which country to live in. After much conversation the decision was made to split their time in both! Three years later they still marvel at the synchronicity of their paths crossing at a time when neither of them was looking for a relationship – let alone a new spouse.
Like George and Amal and Marilyn and Jim, Jane and Rob were open to new experiences and looking outside their own circles of friends to connect with others. Sometimes that sense of adventure leads to the unexpected. And the unexpected can lead to, well, ….. happily ever after. You gotta believe!


This is a wonderful footnote to the life of a world famous movie star.
Taylor Outlived Her Times Obituary Writer by 5 Years
March 23, 2011Â |Â www.thewrap.com
Elizabeth Taylor’s life was remarkable, her legend enduring.
So enduring, in fact, Taylor outlived the writer of her New York Times obituary — by five years!
Mel Gussow, the bylined writer of the paper’s official obit, died in 2005.
Via a note appended to the version published online: Mel Gussow, the principal writer of this article, died in 2005.
According to the Times, William McDonald and the Associated Press “contributed updated reporting” to the 4,100-word obituary.
According to his own obituary published in the Times, Gussow, a longtime critic and cultural reporter for the paper, died of cancer at the age of 71.
Gussow was “long associated with Off and Off Off Broadway, the traditional home of experimental writers.” He “wrote more than 4,000 reviews and articles for The Times over 35 years at the newspaper, helped discover Kevin Kline’s talents when Mr. Kline was still a student, as well as those of Sigourney Weaver and Meryl Streep.”
A quiet man with a shy smile, he was often mistaken for being aloof, but he had a sly sense of humor that came through in his writing.
Taylorâ€™s wasnâ€™t the only obituary Gussow wrote post-humously. He shared a byline with Bruce Weber on one, published in January, about â€œOff Off Broadway Pioneerâ€ Ellen Stewart.

"Not that it’s all heavy psychological stuff: Connar Brown as all seven of the aforementioned brothers and as the puppeteer for the Frog Prince delivers assured physical comedy".
"To me, one cast member really stole the show, Connar Brown. This cast member was outstanding, she did a 2-minute fight scene with 7 men, none of them were present, but you really believe she was fighting them and taking punches and being thrown around the bar."
"As with the last production, the highlight is definitely the cast. Returning cast members...Connar Brown as Rumplestiltskin [was] again fantastic, flinging themselves into the parts with glee."
"Connar Brown appearing as Rumplestiltskin, among several other roles, was also fantastic in the role. There’s a thin line between over and under performing this kind of story, and she walked it easily throughout the show."

Harry Potter Star Was Sad She Missed Tom Felton & Emma Watson’s Crushes
Harry Potter’s Evanna Lynch was disappointed she missed Tom Felton and Emma Watson’s crush on set. The actress joined the cast on the fifth film.
Harry Potter’s Evanna Lynch was disappointed she missed Tom Felton and Emma Watson’s crush on set. Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the fantasy series, joined the franchise in the fifth installment, The Order of the Phoenix. Luna’s zany nature provided comic relief early in the story, though she ultimately became a defender of the Wizarding World and a source of unconventional wisdom for Harry. She featured in some capacity in each of the following films, including in a pivotal storyline featuring her father Xenophilius in The Deathly Hallows.
With the early Harry Potter films featuring a young, teenaged cast, it might not surprise viewers that romance bloomed on set. Though the two played sworn enemies in the films, rumors have swirled for years about whether Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) were dating. Watson admitted in 2011 that she used to have a crush on her co-star, saying “for the first two movies, I had a crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush”. The two posted a picture together on holiday in South Africa in 2019, causing further discussion about whether they were romantically involved. The rumor was ignited once more recently, with Felton commenting that he and Watson are “something, if that makes any sense.”
In an interview with Us Weekly, Lynch lamented missing out on the Watson and Felton crush phase. The Luna Lovegood actress said that while hormones may have been raging during the early films, including in The Goblet of Fire, things had calmed down by the time she joined the cast. Read her full quote:
“Oh, it was so disappointing for me because I joined on the fifth one. I was on Order of the Phoenix and there was this sense that exciting things had happened in the last movie, and I just missed it. [I joined when] everyone had kind of grown out of their crushes and they were moving on to, like, people in the outside world. And I felt that like, damn, I missed all the drama! It was so fun the last film, according to some stories. But no, by the time I got there, they were all mature and those hormones were calming down.”
The Ravenclaw actress will certainly pique fan interest with her comments about Felton and Watson and The Goblet of Fire. The fourth installment in the series was the most mature yet and coupled the cast up for a dance in the memorable Yule Ball set-piece. Although Potterheads can’t be sure what the “drama” was on set, the rumors about Felton and Watson dating will certainly be reignited. Harry Potter fans have long wished to explore the unlikely romance between Draco and Hermione, inspiring fan-fiction and TikToks in recent years. However, as Lynch says, The Order of The Phoenix introduced more adult storylines as the cast entered their fifth year at Hogwarts. By that point, on-set crushes had died down.
Although Lynch came late to the Harry Potter world, it was the perfect time for her to join. As a young girl, Lynch was hospitalized several times for anorexia and stated that the Harry Potter series was the only thing that kept her going through her struggle. After auditioning against 15,000 other actresses for the role of Luna, J. K. Rowling believed Lynch was the perfect choice for Lovegood. Fans have been invested in Lynch’s relationship with the character ever since, with the zany witch proving the heart of the later films.


Wow is right! The detail is amazing and Lady Katie does know how to dress for tea.
oh my goodness! Jennifer was telling me about that...so awesome! I'm telling you..Katie is bound for Project Runway, she could give Heidi Klum a run for her money!
Katie was by far the best dressed at the birthday party. I half-expected her to request "tea and crumpets" in an English accent.I was extra-impressed with Laura's attention to detail. I don't know how she does it.

JACK WRIGHT’S TRIBUTE TO NEIL DIAMOND IN VACAVILLE
When Jack Wright’s Tribute to Neil Diamond takes the stage at Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre Saturday, October 21st at 7
p.m., fans will be treated to an authentic and energetic 90-minute performance of the timeless hits and fan favorites that have
kept Neil in the hearts and minds of his adoring fans for five decades. Backed by the five-piece Jack Wright Show Band, the
22-song show includes fan favorites like Cracklin’ Rosie,” “Hello Again,” “Play Me,” “Song Sung Blue,” “I Am I Said,” and
“Coming to America.”
Jack Wright is not an impersonator. He relies on his natural singing voice, which closely resembles Neil’s, and his ability to
connect to his audiences with the same openness as the master entertainer himself. “I don’t try to shape my vowels to
match his. I don’t use over-the-top mimicry to create a nostalgic illusion of Neil’s early performances. It’s more important to
me to perform as Neil does today, and to faithfully present the very best performances of his five decades of superstardom.”
Jack has travelled a long road from boy soprano singing church songs for milk and cookies in Ogden, Utah, to seasoned
performer doing a full-on, energetic, passionate Neil Diamond tribute concert across the country.
He fell in love with the spotlight and the microphone as a small child, and the pure joy of being on the stage has been at the
heart of his performing career for decades. The “entertainer” in him found expression from high school through college in
musical theater and classical music performance, and that might have been his career path – except for the economic reality
that pop singers in lounge acts make more money.
Following one of the most challenging lead rolls in musical theater, as Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha, he literally “took
his act on the road.” During a continuous 13-year stint as a cover artist, he went from playing behind chicken wire in a
cowboy bar to years of repeat bookings at luxury hotels and resorts throughout the U.S. and Canada. And Neil Diamond
songs were the big draw.
Jack Wright’s tribute show is, in many ways, a coming together of a lifetime of experiences. The boy singer became the
young musician, the musical theater performer, the pop singer, the show and video producer, the composer and arranger.
And now, in the realization of yet another of his life dreams, Jack Wright has emerged, not as an impersonator, but as a
natural live performer of the best of Neil Diamond’s music. His voice is remarkably similar. His musical arrangements are
authentic and powerful. He explains the importance of the music this way: “I think part of the energy and emotions of Neil
Diamond’s songs comes from his musical arrangements. The only way to do them justice is to recreate the original music as
closely as possible – strings, bass, rhythm sections, woodwinds, brass – it all has to come together with that rich, full sound
that underpins and enhances his poetic lyrics. So I’ve spent years and thousands of hours recreating the best of his live-
Jack’s “gut feeling” for Neil’s music probably comes from the same place as it was originally written: a need to express life’s
ups and downs, hopes and aspirations, love found and love lost -- through words, melodies and expressive musical
arrangements. It’s a natural fit. And it comes through honestly and passionately in every performance.
In his words, “Neil Diamond is one of the most beloved performers in the past five decades. His music crosses generations
of fans. And like me, they can’t seem to get enough of it. The Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre is a perfect place for all of us
to get together for a rousing celebration of one of the world’s true superstars.”


LOCATION: SALSALI PRIVATE MUSEUM (SPM), ALSERKAL AVENUE
FACEBOOK: SALSALI PRIVATE MUSEUM
DATES: 11 DECEMBER 2012 – 28 FEBRUARY 2013
SALSALI PRIVATE MUSEUM IS PLEASED TO PRESENT OLYMPIA, AN EXHIBITION WITH MUSICIAN BRYAN FERRY - SPECIAL PREVIEW ON DECEMBER 11, 2012.
A quintessential icon of modern music and contemporary culture since his meteoric ascent to fame in 1972 with his groundbreaking art-rock band Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry has conceived and directed all visual aspects of his music.
Opening at Salsali Private Museum, Dubai on December 11, 2012, OLYMPIA highlights the album artwork Ferry has conceived and designed over the last 40 years, most recently on his 2010 album ‘Olympia’, featuring Kate Moss, and marks his first visit to Dubai since 2004.
Originally taught by the legendary British pop artist Richard Hamilton, Ferry has, throughout his career, maintained his founding interest in art and visual culture. As one of the few musicians to be interviewed at length by the leading international journal of contemporary art, ‘Frieze’, Ferry has spoken of the very close relationship between his passion for fine art and his artistic ambitions as a singer, composer and performer.
Some of the artwork for the eight Roxy Music studio albums, created between 1972 and 1983 and displayed in the current exhibition, comprises a sequence of finished images, studies and alternate versions that is as meticulously conceived and crafted as it has proved both innovative and controversial.
Described by one critic, on its initial release, as “nothing less than a manifesto”, the artwork for ‘Roxy Music’ (1972) was seen as a bravura visual and conceptual continuation of the vertiginous and seductive music on the album. In a manner which knowingly and seamlessly merges American glamour and European intellectualism, mass culture and fine art, this achievement would be advanced and consolidated across all of the Roxy Music artwork, and further nuanced by the sparser, but no less elegant, portrait images of Bryan Ferry that adorned his solo releases – most famously ‘Another Time, Another Place’, shot by Eric Boman. Similarly, fashion designer Antony Price’s long-standing collaboration with Ferry on the styling of both the Roxy Music and solo album artwork would be a major factor in their overall temper and impact.
In his interview for ‘Frieze’, Ferry likened his approach as an artist to that of Duke Ellington – selecting a cast of creative collaborators in much the same way that a painter would select his palette. This has remained true throughout Ferry’s career as both a musician and visual artist, and achieved particular prowess for his most recent release as a solo artist in 2010, the sumptuous and timelessly modern, ‘Olympia’.
Previously exhibited in London, Berlin and L.A. but never before seen in the Middle East, this series of exhibition prints of modern muse Kate Moss, was created for ‘Olympia’ by Bryan Ferry in collaboration with Adam Whitehead, former assistant photographer to Mario Testino, as well as with Moss herself. In a brilliant reprise of the famous painting by Edouard Manet of the same title, ‘Olympia’ (1863), Kate Moss, appearing for the first time on an album cover, poses in a series of images as Ferry’s modern day muse. Each of these photographs shares a title with a song on the Olympia album.
The manner in which Ferry has conceived and styled what he has described as the ‘idealized fans’ on the covers of his records, is both an exercise in pure Pop – creating an exciting, desirable and glamorous commodity, super-charged with aspirational values – and an elegant, mass cultural example of conceptual art. In this, there is a perfect twinning of Ferry’s artistic vision and the choice of Kate Moss, the most successful and iconic model of her generation, to create the cover art for ‘Olympia’. Moss herself is an iconic figure who blurs the boundaries between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture, having inspired both the mass markets of fashion and beauty products, and contemporary artists such as Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn, Michael Clark and Adam McEwen. Like Ferry himself, she has come to represent both an idea and an attitude – her image is used as code to
transmit a state of mind.
“I approached the record with the same intensity as the early Roxy Music albums,” says Ferry, “and I wanted the artwork to represent this. One of the inspirations for the cover was the 19th century painting ‘Olympia’ by Edouard Manet - a kind of early pin-up picture, and in a sense a forerunner of some 20th Century Pop Art, which I feel strongly connected to. I wanted a cover girl for this record who could convey the glamorous notoriety of the original ‘Olympia’ painting, and my choice was Kate Moss. Kate has long been the ‘femme fatale’ of our age, as controversial as she is beautiful, and the most glamorous female icon since Marilyn Monroe.
OLYMPIA will run from December 11, 2012, until February 28, 2013, at Salsali Private Museum, in Alserkal Avenue, Dubai. In an exception to SPM’s normal non-commercial status, Limited Edition prints of all artworks on display in this exhibition will be available for purchase.


Fondly called The boy Doing things, A-Reece is apparently still doing things in the world of South African music. Since he popped on the music scene, he has released several winning numbers, leaving no one in doubt he is no manqué rapper.
From Ambitiouz Entertainment to the mixed orbit of indie artistry, A-Reece has managed to hold the attention of the listening public with his music. The songster has chosen his own path and pace, most times ignoring calls to link up with other artistes for joint projects.
He appeared especially conscious of the rivalry and envy in the industry and one commented on how peeps tend to ignore art until the artistes are cold and dead.
Well, from the songster’s splendid oeuvre, we’ve brought you ten (10) of his top songs we think you should hear – in no particular order. See some SA Hip Hop songs from the talent below.
1. Everybody Hates Reece
“Everybody Hates Reece” is the South African rapper’s 2019 debut. Produced by MashBeatz, the rapper’s go-to producer, the song, which samples the Canadian rapper Drake, treats familiar topics, including rap feud and the hate The Boy Doing Things faces because he chooses to go his way on. Two years after rrelease, the song is still potent.
2. Fuck You
In “Fuck You,” A-Reece navigates the bend of failed relationships. In the song, which comes with an official music video, the songster failed to clue the listener of who the lady is. But then, it’s something anyone can relate with.
3. Better Luck Next Time
A-Reece’s “Better Luck Next Time” tune was released in the hey days of The Wrecking Crew (TWC) in collaboration with crew members Ecco and Wordz. Produced by A-Reece himself, the song amplifies the power of TWC. Check here for more SA Hip-Hop Songs Download


On paper, comedian Simon Day had it all. Protégé of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, winner of the Time Out new act of the year in 1991 and star of hit comedy series The Fast Show, success was his for the taking.
But in reality, Day was struggling to hold it all together after a lifetime of addiction – first fruit machines, then alcohol, cocaine and crack. Day’s descent from middle-class suburbia into
stealing to feed his addiction, a stint in borstal (youth prison) and his rise up the comedy ladder is tackled with self-critical honesty in Comedy and Error, his newly published autobiography launched at Blackheath Halls in June. Read more»
