Burna Boy was born Damini Ogulu in Lagos in 1991. He began making music at just ten years old when a fellow classmate at school gave him a copy of the production software FruityLoops. Armed with these means, he began to create his own beats on an old computer. After he graduated, he moved to London to attend university, but he dropped out after two years and moved back to Nigeria. In 2010, the 19-year-old Ogulu traveled to Nigeria’s southern coast, where a mutual acquaintance, producer LeriQ, had some studio space. This marked a period when he began to connect to the music of his native country, having spent most of his youth immersed in American acts like DMX. He delved into the dancehall and reggae music his father listened to, and explored the Afro-beat music preferred by his grandfather (who had also been Fela Kuti’s first manager). As a result of his new discoveries, Ogulu created a confluence of genres that would become his signature sound.
With production by LeriQ, Burna Boy created “Like to Party,” which marked his rise to prominence and generated a local buzz along the way. 2013 saw the release of his debut studio album; featuring guest slots from Wizkid, Timaya, 2face, and M.I., L.I.F.E drew favorable reviews from the music press. For his sophomore effort, 2015’s On a Spaceship, Burna parted ways with both his record company and LeriQ, and delivered a record even more diverse than his first. In 2017, he teamed up with producer Juls for the single “Rock Your Body.” A host of singles followed throughout the year, including “GBA,” “Streets of Africa,” “Koni Baje,” and “Sekkle Down,” featuring J Hus. Dropping the Lily Allen-aided single “Heaven’s Gate” in early January 2018, Burna delivered his third album, Outside, later that month. He returned a year later with the single “Killin Dem,” a collaboration with Zlatan. Along with additional singles like “Dangote” and “On the Low,” it was later included on his fourth album, African Giant, which saw release in July 2019.

Mika Nakashima decided to stop all of her artistic activities
because of ear disease.
I'm ardent fan of hers,
and the ticket of her 10th anniversary concert
which hold on October 30th arrived yesterday.
Miraculously I got a seat in a front row,
so I rejoiced to see the ticket so much yesterday.
I couldn't believe that I can see her
from a short distance.
But this morning,
I 'm terribly shocked to hear the news.
And the concert on next saturday was also cancelled.
I was surprised and very sad.
I wish she'll get better.

Featured Entertainment: Rick Springfield
To date, Rick Springfield has sold over 19 million records with a whopping 17 top-40 hits. He has performed for millions of devoted fans over the last three decades and continues to play over 100 shows a year. Attracting new fans wherever he goes with his unique brand of audience interaction, unstoppable energy, and unforgettable songs that have become part of the soundtrack to people’s lives.
There’s something about Rick Springfield that is and always has been very real. His songs about love and loss, greed and envy, elation and heartbreak spoke to that part of human nature that hasn’t changed in 3,000 years. They still do.
In 1981 after years of struggle, the stars perfectly aligned and Rick Springfield found himself sitting on top of the world. In the midst of recording what would become the quintessential pop/rock album Working Class Dog, Rick was cast to the play the young, eligible Dr. Noah Drake on the popular daytime drama “General Hospital.” That same year, MTV debuted and changed the dynamic of the music industry forever. Rick skyrocketed to the top of Billboard’s charts with “Jessie’s Girl” and “I’ve Done Everything For You,”. The following year, he won a Grammy for “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.”
In 1982, Rick followed the success of Working Class Dog with Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet. The album contained a string of top-40 hits, including “Don’t Talk To Strangers” which charted at #2. He was also nominated for a second Grammy and in 1983 was nominated for a third, in addition to garnering an American Music Award. His 1983 album Living in Oz went platinum, resulting in the hits “Human Touch” and “Affair of the Heart.” The following year, his single “Love Somebody” from the soundtrack album to the movie “Hard to Hold” (in which Rick made his big screen debut) hit #5 on the Billboard singles chart. Rick Springfield had solidified his place as the preeminent power-pop artist of the decade and today remains the genre’s greatest pioneer.
After years of balls-to-the-wall live performances, grueling tour schedules, and recording back-to-back hit albums with chart-topping singles, Rick decided to take a break to spend time with his family when his first son was born in 1985. During his hiatus, he released the albums Rock of Life and Sahara Snow. He returned to the concert stage in 1998 with the release of his album Karma. Immediately, Rick was performing to sold out crowds as fans clamored to the Internet, hungry for word of Rick Springfield’s triumphant return to their hometowns.

WHO IS R. STEVIE MOORE?
“He’s the best musician ever and of course he’s unknown. Are these things a coincidence?”
Genius, seminal, lo-fi legend, grandfather of DIY music, cult icon: all are words frequently used to describe prolific American musician R. Stevie Moore. And yet after 40 years of making music and an output of more than 400 albums, he has consistently failed to gain mainstream success, instead becoming one of the icons of the alternative music scene.
Born on January 18th, 1952 in Nashville, Tennessee, he is the oldest son of Bob Moore, veteran Nashville A-Team bassist and a long-time sideman for Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline and many others. R. Stevie almost certainly inherited some of his musical talents from his father, but abandoned the country music scene, instead focusing on pursuing his own uncompromising aesthetic and sound, inspired by musicians such as Frank Zappa, The Beach Boys and The Beatles.
RSM's body of work epitomises diversity - a concept he vigorously preaches - and his music spans multiples genres including pure power-pop, post-punk, indie rock, electronic avant-garde and even hip-hop. For many years these were almost exclusively available on tape via mail order through his home-based label R. Stevie Moore Cassette Club, but the advent of the internet exposed his work to a new generation of fans.
He’s enjoyed critical acclaim from sources such as Rolling Stone magazine, Trouser Press and Wire Magazine and has gained a cult following, collaborating with Ariel Pink, Tim Burgess, The Vaccines, members of MGMT, XTC and many others. Despite his prolific musical output and influence on others, commercial success has eluded R. Stevie, making him one of the most overlooked composers, songwriters and performers of the past decades.


With my recovery from the flu having been a slow process, I was inundated with all things about Michael Jackson on the television. I had been of the opinion for more than the last 15 years or so that Michael Jackson was unfortunately, very mentally ill. Those feelings and opinions were simply based upon his proliferation of bad press in the news. Yet, during the last few days, while I have seen so much of his recent history, it is the earlier imagery that has left me feeling very sad. It is this earlier imagery that makes me feel so much more sad about his life than I had in the recent past. A case in point is in his looks. He literally mutilated himself into something that appeared nearly non-human. This first image represents Michael Jackson BEFORE having plastic surgery on his face. He looks like a normal, handsome young man. His age at this time would be roughly 20. Here is another image of him after untold numbers of surgeries that destroyed his appearance.
I am of the opinion that Jackson likely died from an overdose of narcotics that were exacerbated by severe anorexia in which he began to digest his own heart muscle due to the lack of his consuming food.
It is so very sad. The reality is that he has been "off" mentally for 25 years, ever since he started the process of decapitating his nose and destroying his body. People who were his friends and relatives SHOULD have forced him into a mental health facility to work through whatever it was that was going on in his mind.

There were many sides to Hugh Hefner, and his legacy will long be debated and remain complicated. Was he a sophisticated champion of American sexuality or an opportunist who exploited women ? Undoubtedly the truth about Playboy founder Hugh Hefner lies somewhere in between. Now, in a new Commemorative Edition from TIME – Hugh Hefner, the publisher, entrepreneur and cultural icon is examined through essays and photographs. From his conservative upbringing and early, uninspiring career to the launch of Playboy and an empire, it is all laid bare. Outside of the glitz and glamour of the magazine, the mansion, the plane, and the clubs, there was also the Hugh Hefner who used his platforms to promote equality across racial, sexual and gender divides. His long and complicated relationship with women and feminism is explored, including his decades-long feud with Gloria Steinem, and of course, there were the Bunnies. Filled with iconic photographs, Hef, “in his own words,” and more, this Commemorative Edition paints a balanced portrait of a complicated legacy.

Miranda Woodruff, star of the homebuilding show From the Ground Up, will do anything to keep the job she loves. Due to a painful broken engagement and a faith she’s mostly forgotten, she’s let her entire identity become wrapped up in the Miranda everyone sees onscreen. So when she receives news that the network might cancel her program, she must do the very thing she fears most: let the spotlight shine on her closely guarded personal life. The only problem? She’s been living a lie — letting viewers believe she’s married — and now she’s called upon to play wife to a sweet, if a bit goofy, pretend husband to boost ratings.
Desperate to help his family and prove he’s not a total failure, reporter Matthew Knox is looking for a breakout story. When he’s offered the opportunity to do an online serial feature on Miranda Woodruff, he jumps at the chance, even if celebrity reporting isn’t really his thing. But as soon as he meets Miranda, he knows she’s keeping secrets. When Miranda’s former fiance suddenly appears on the scene again, she doubts her life could get more complicated. Juggling three guys, an on-the-rocks television show, and the potential exposure of her deception is way more than she bargained for.
Can the woman who makes things look so good onscreen admit it’s time to tell the truth about who she is? And if she does, will the life Miranda’s built come crashing down just as she’s finally found a love to last?

Max Theriot has had a long career for one so young, starting as a child actor and making the tricky transition to an acting career as an adult. It was one of the question I had for him when we spoke on April 5, 2013 when he was here in San Francisco promoting his latest film, DISCONNECT. Theriot went into detail about how he prepared mentally and physically for the intensity of his role as a "model" on an online porn site. Aside from the fitness routine to build the physique necessary, he talked at length about getting into the mindset of young people who are in this line of work, and the surprising attitude they have towards it. When discussing the backstory he had created for his character, Kyle, Theriot didn't just explain the tattoo across Kyle's chest, he recited the poem that inspired it. We went on to talk about his current gig as Norman Bates' older, resentful half-brother on A&E's delightfully creeply series, BATES MOTEL, before finishing up by talking about a previous film he'd done, FOREVERLAND, that hadn't gotten the recognition it deserved. Or the audience.


Completed Bronze Plaque
Artist Lauren Voiers to Sculpt Bronze Plaque
By Good News Network
Tuesday, August 2, 2011
Lucy Vodden was the subject of a painting brought home from kindergarten by a young Julian Lennon, who showed it to his dad, John, and told him it was “Lucy – in the sky with diamonds”.
Julian got back in touch with Lucy a few years ago when he heard that she was battling Lupus, an auto-immune disease.
Now, a plaque commemorating the woman who inspired the Beatles’ hit, will be placed in Liverpool in memory of Vodden who died in 2009 at age 46. (See the drawing below)
Following her death, Lennon became heavily involved with St Thomas’ Lupus Trust, which commissioned the plaque, and he become the Lupus Foundation of America’s Global Ambassador.
Liverpool’s City Council agreed to the placing of a ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ plaque in Mathew Street in Liverpool, which is the Mecca for fans of the Beatles. The sculptor of the bronze plaque will be Lauren Voiers, who is the young sculptor responsible for the John Lennon Peace monument in Liverpool.
This will take place alongside the launch of the ‘Lucy Vodden Lupus Research Fellowship’ a lupus research project in Lucy’s name so all excess funds from the plaque will go towards that project.
Visit www.justgiving.com/Lucyintheskywithdiamonds to donate to the cause in honor of Lucy and Julian. All donors names will be listed in a commemorative book which will be kept in Liverpool.
For the full story about Lucy please visit our website: www.lupus.org.uk/patients/lucy.htm

Fans of the late Beatle John Lennon came together Wednesday night in Liverpool to pay their respects as the world marked the 31st anniversary of his death.
An international crowd gathered at the Peace & Harmony monument dedicated to Lennon at Kings Dock by the River Mersey. The event included a candlelight vigil and music from local musicians. The vigil marked only the second time that Liverpool has had a place for people to gather to celebrate the life of Lennon and his legacy of peace through his music, organizers say. The monument, sculpted by Lauren Voiers, was unveiled on Oct. 9, 2010, on the 70th anniversary of Lennon’s birth by his first wife Cynthia Lennon and son Julian.
According to reports, the weather wasn’t the best, but that didn’t stop an impromptu jam session from taking place at the Beatles Story Starbucks cafe on the Albert Dock.
“Like last year’s inaugural vigil, this has been a fitting tribute to a son of the city. The atmosphere at the ‘Peace & Harmony’ monument has been incredible with people from all over the world gathering to pay their respects and contemplate John’s message of peace. Liverpool has once again done itself proud,” said Jerry Goldman of Beatles Story museum, which sponsored the event.
Friday, October 28, 2011
The John Lennon Peace Monument now takes pride of place against the contemporary backdrop of ACC Liverpool, home to BT Convention Centre and its sister venue Echo Arena, which is set to play host to Paul McCartney, the greatest living Liverpool icon as he heads to his home town for a homecoming gig on 20th December.
Bob Prattey, CEO of ACC Liverpool, said: “We are very proud to have such a culturally important piece of art here at ACC Liverpool. John Lennon is a unique and enduring part of our city and it�s fantastic that UK and International visitors to ACC Liverpool will be able to visit the monument whilst they are with us. Whether a fan of John or the Beatles or just a lover of art, the monument is a striking symbol of Peace and we are privileged to have given it a home.”

By Ian Youngs Entertainment reporter, BBC News
on December 8, 2010

‘One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain’ – Bob Marley
Without music, life would be a colorless, hollowed out experience. Music is nourishment for the soul and for many, music is a reason to get up in the morning. But music isn’t a gift graciously bestowed upon us mortals from the Gods. No, music comes from people; real artists who dedicate themselves each and every day to the craft of creating music, spending countless hours writing, composing, changing, and perfecting songs in order to share these harmonious fruits of labor with the rest of us.
Marley Wildthing is one such artist who continues to pour her heart and soul into the craft of writing and performing music. Originally from Austria and based in Prague, Marley plays a range of instruments, composes her own songs, and performs in a range of venues. Marley’s life is music, and she continues to spend much of her waking life on creating and performing great music.
On this episode of Do This With Your Life, we speak with Marley Wildthing about how her early interest in music led her to where she is today. Marley recounts how she began writing songs, the fears she had of performing her music and how she got over those fears, and how her love of travel combined with her penchant for playing music anywhere and everywhere has created a lifestyle that can probably be best described as that of a true rolling stone.
Throughout the show, Marley performs several of her songs, a few of which will be found in her upcoming EP. Those interested in learning more about Marley Wildthing and her music can visit her website, http://www.marleywildthing.com, or you can find her on Facebook and Instagram.

What does it mean to be your true, authentic self while pursuing your dream? We interviewed writer, actress, and comedian Maysoon Zayid to find out.
If you’re a fan of TED Talks, you might already know Maysoon. In 2013, she gave a talk about her experience trying to break into Hollywood as a disabled Muslim actress. As you can probably imagine, it wasn’t easy – but Maysoon has found her own ways to stay positive and ignore any negativity that comes her way. We think that’s a message any aspiring entrepreneurs can learn from.
We had Kristina Romero sit down with Maysoon to talk a little more about her experience: her failures, her successes, and how she handles criticism. Watch the video below, or read on for the highlights!
On Growing Up Disabled In New Jersey
If you’re not familiar with Maysoon, she was born with cerebral palsy, a disability that causes her to “shake all the time.” Growing up poor in New Jersey, her family couldn’t afford physical therapy – so, instead, they signed her up for dance lessons. That’s where she got her first taste of show business and hatched her dream of becoming a TV star on the daytime soap opera circuit.
Early into her career, however, Maysoon realized there was practically no one on TV who looked like her. According to Maysoon, only .04% of characters on television have a visible disability, and 95% of those are played by non-disabled actors. Casting directors were reluctant to talk to her.
Why She Turned To Comedy
So instead, she looked to comedy – a genre where all different types of personalities and backgrounds were welcome. At first, she thought breaking into comedy could be her “in” to the dramatic roles she craved, but she soon realized that telling her own story was far more powerful than reading lines written by someone else. (That’s a message all of us should definitely take to heart!)
Now, she’s ready for her own TV show to hit the airwaves. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t without risk – she had to turn down producers who wanted to cast a more famous actress to play her character. But in the end, she believes it’s more important to show the authentic reality of living with a disability.
That’s not to say that the show only focuses on her disability. “I struggle more with dating and paying taxes than I ever did with my disability!” she told Kristina. In the end, she wants to present a positive example of disabled people simply living their lives on TV.
On Dealing With Criticism
Television isn’t the only way Maysoon is using her voice to educate and inspire. After her TED Talk went viral, she found herself receiving a lot of attention on social media. People with disabilities from all over the world began reaching out to her to tell her she’d inspired them – but critics also crawled out of the woodwork, attacking her for everything from her weight to her ethnic identity.
Business owners can learn a lot from Maysoon. When you’re the face of your own brand, it’s practically guaranteed you’re going to get some online hate. Instead of panicking and backing off, here’s what Maysoon suggests.
First, she listens to what her critics are saying, and decides whether to take it to heart. If her jokes are hurting people or making them feel ashamed, she might change up a talk or a comedy routine. But if they’re simply trying to tear her down, she takes a different approach. No, not just blocking them on social media – first, she tries to educate them. (Then, if they attack her again, she reaches for the block button. “I don’t have to allow people to verbally abuse me,” she says.)
A Couple Of Amazing Stories
Kristina also asked Maysoon about her fondest stories from her professional journey. You don’t want to miss her story about the time Dick Clark (probably) yelled at her, or the time she went to an after party and choked on an hors d'oeuvre while wearing a corset. You’re going to want to watch the video to hear this!

According to Chalfenâ€™s description of home mode recording, people tend to capture the best of themselves. This is contrary to Hsu; basing on her instagram profile, she presents herself in a manner that suggests she is ordinary just like another person or her followers. For instance, she is depicted not wearing make ups in some her photos but ordinary clothes that are not branded expensively such as basketball cap; despite embracing normal lifestyle she looks excellent and as beautiful as ever in her public image. She reveals a personality of humbleness and closeness to her audience as she greatly cut off the boundary between a celebrity and an ordinary person. Indeed, she reveals herself as a unique person in character and manners even to her followers who had never had any chance to know her in person (Chalfen 88).
Moreover, the audience is able to perceive her true and honest thought and intention in advance as she embraces her self-image. Most celebrities work hard to make themselves extra-ordinary and distinct from the rest of the society. They assume totally different personality from what they really are as Chalfen explains, creating difficulty to their followers to their real personality, character and values (Chalfen 122). Hsuâ€™s photos give a clear message of her. She does not imitate another superior person in her but rather makes and acts as her real self, giving her followers a good understanding of their star, as well as motivating them to be what they are. She gives the sense of self acceptance to audience and the need of self respect.
Hsuâ€™s many photos not only include the ones taken in her happy moments, but also in distressful, emotional and worrying situations. She provides a photo when in hospital as a result of overworking. Most celebrities would not like to taint they good public image through revelation of their difficult or worse moments in life hence conforming to Chalfenâ€™s description of home mode recording. Hsu seems to live a more optimistic life and does not regard it as a burning issue on displaying her snaps that portrays sad mood to her followers. In fact, she becomes a super celebrity as her followers like even more as they are updated on every course that her life takes time and then. Additionally, this is observed as a moral lesson to her by her followers not to overwork and always give their body time to rest. The idea of getting sick because of overworking also put forward an important issue of her life; she toils to earn a leaving like ordinary people (Massol, Vincent and Timothy 104). We rarely find cases where a celebrity overwork himself or herself for the sake of better life, they believe they are already superior and hence should not subject themselves into hard earning. Vivianâ€™s followers will definitely like to assume her life as it can be easily integrated and correlates to normal living standards.
In home mode recording, audience selection plays a great role in shaping the public image of the audience. Vivian cleverly chooses other well known celebrities with whom she has photos. The audience considers them as friend as it is revealed in Vivianâ€™s eyes as well. Therefore, those who follow her get to know other celebrities a well particularly those associated with her either through work or friendship.
It is a common phenomenon to celebrities to keep away their families from fame as possible. They often do not consent to the idea of going out together in public. This can be attributed to egocentricity and self possessiveness. Vivian is different in her actions as some of her photos depict her dating her mother and holding her sisterâ€™s child. She does not fear public scrutiny whatever she does as she regard it as real and ordinary life. It is therefore clear that she does not experience character splitting or acquire divided identity for the sake of either her audience or public image. Basically, we can evidently note that Vivian is a self preserved celebrity; she portrays a good image to her audience as well as instilling the sense of belonging and virtue of family concern and association. Being a celebrity does not means one have to alienate himself or herself from the ordinary society as that is the source of our origin.
Wealth, which more than often comes as a result of fame, â€œprovides immediate, tangible evidence of celebrityâ€™s distinction and staying power.â€ Some celebrities transform from average lifestyle to executive living class. In as much as Vivian has been a celebrity for many more than 20 years she does not proudly show off by living high luxurious lifestyle as is the norm to many celebrities as illustrated by her photos, in one occasion she uses stamps to get her sisterâ€™s kid a toy.
In conclusion, indeed Vivian is a down to earth celebrity with splendid personality and positive influence to her audience. Evidently, the photos of celebrities displayed to the public portrays great message to the audience hence making them to develop a given attitude and perception of the person. Â


2021 Humanitarian of the Year
Bestselling author might be the next place we could start since Cash made the New York Times Bestsellers List for her memoir, Composed. She’s also written countless essays, articles, and prose appearing in The New York Times, Rolling Stone Magazine, and Oxford American Publications, among many others over the years. Roseanne has even authored one children’s book as well as several other book titles.
One might next naturally think of her as a mother and a wife, while of course, many of us remember her most as a daughter of American Rock n’ Roll.
But people are much less likely to equate the name Roseanne Cash with the word Humanitarian despite the fact that she’s always been active, using her voice wherever she felt it would do the most good.
Many are unaware—if not surprised—of how tirelessly Cash has worked throughout her career against gun violence.
Chances are if one were to research Rosanne Cash and gun reform, one would find dozens of essays, articles, and interviews that leave no question as to where Cash stands on gun control, often leaving herself and her family as open targets for gun enthusiasts. But, despite the fear, Cash has carried on sharing her message telling the Associated Press in an interview in 2017, “A lot of times I feel I don’t have the courage, but I say it anyway. Because I cannot … sit here and watch children being slaughtered when they go to school. It’s wrong. It’s immoral.”
And say it she did. That same year, following the Las Vegas mass shooting during which 59 were killed and more than 500 people were hurt at a country music concert, Cash published an Op-Ed in The New York Times, urging other Country musicians to come out and stand up to the N.R.A. The article made waves across the music industry and earned responses from publications such as Billboard Magazine, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone Magazine.
The following year, Cash was presented with the 2018 Spirit of Americana Free Speech Award by the Americana Music Association in partnership with the First Amendment Center for consistently using her voice to “speak her truth” throughout her career. In addition, thanks to her many contributions to art and culture, Cash has been awarded an honorary doctorate from the Berklee College of Music, a Smithsonian Ingenuity Award for the Performing Arts, and the 61st Edward MacDowell Medal.
On March 31st of 2021, Cash released her latest powerful new single “The Killing Fields” which is “a reckoning with the dark legacy of southern lynching” according to the singer’s website. In a statement, Cash said, “A few years of my own personal reckoning with painful issues of race, racism, privilege, reconciliation, and individual responsibility led up to the moment in the summer of 2020, when finally, no one could avert their eyes from the truth of white privilege in America, and the damage and sorrow caused by systematic racism. I wrote “The Killing Fields” in that summer,” explained Cash. “All that came before us is not who we are now.
As if to underscore this statement, Cash released the single on April 9th, 2021, on a limited-edition 7″ vinyl with all proceeds from the sales to benefit the Arkansas Peace and Justice Memorial Movement, an educational online memorial to commemorate the victims of lynching in the State of Arkansas in collaboration with the Equal Justice Initiative, Just Communities of Arkansas, and Coming to the Table.
The song was paired with Cash’s single, “Crawl into the Promised Land” which was released in the Fall of 2020 leading up to the U.S. Presidential Race. The song speaks of the resilience of the human spirit.
Limited Edition signed copies of “The Killing Fields” are still available at the Rosanne Cash store.

Anna is known for her enchanting live performances and voice which “flows perfectly from soft to grunty”, and for her songwriting prowess which has seen her in the prestigious Silver Scroll songwriting award Top 20 list four times since 2010.
Her new album Luck/Time is the culmination of four years of diligent songwriting and was largely made at Anna’s own studio The Attic (literally her attic).
Showcasing all the strengths and experiences acquired over her career, Luck/Time features pop sounds with tinges of indie, disco, and yacht rock thrown in. Going against the current trend of beats-heavy production, Anna stands deliberately with her guitar in hand. With strings peppered throughout, the core of the album is all about feelings – Anna expressing her own, and the listener feeling theirs.
Thematically the album speaks to many different aspects faced by everyone over the course of our lives – love, loss, hope, despair, and even having a bit of Luck over a lot of Time.

Recall the riotous South Park tv show that centered on Tom Cruise hidden in the wardrobe? In spite of the reassurance of his fellow Scientologist John Travolta as well as his ex-wife Nicole Kidman to come out of the closet, Tom adamantly refused to do this. In fact, if I remember accurately, he chose to remain concealed in the cupboard till the 2nd coming of Xenu. Everybody presumed that this tv program was regarding Tom�s homosexuality however I think that the only thing the showbiz actor is trying to hide in the closet is definitely his shoe lifts considering that, you no doubt know, Tom is basically 5�7 tall faking to be 6�1. That's the reason why he would not want someone else to be peeking at his dresser just in case they view the actor's shoe lifts which, as per rumors he needs. Precisely how tall is Tom Cruise? I consider that he's 5�7 however that's a figure I preferred out of thin air. It is obvious however that he does wear shoe lifts. He is shorter than his girlfriend which is apparent in many photographs. Okay, okay, i am far from certain that these pics are �real� or if they are simply altered by someone who would like to make Tom appear smaller when compared with his wife? Genuinely does Katie Holmes honestly tower over her partner as some of these photographs would suggest? What do you think?

What does Fashion Model need For Success?
Patricia Anne Boyd is an English fashion model and photojournalist. She is one of the most photographed and iconic British models of all time. Considered by many to be one of the greatest British pin-up girls of all time, she went through a very public falling out with her boyfriend, photographer John Galliano, in the late sixties. The pair remained friends for the next twenty years, and Galliano was the model of choice for many of the top British fashion labels, from Dior to John Lewis.
But it was through this relationship that Patridge made her mark on the fashion industry. After leaving Galliano, she began to work with well-known photographer Sir Michael Caine, whose career was at that time very hit and well sought after by the media. His interest in fashion was sparked when he saw the photographs of his young daughter’s first collection. This led to him taking up his own career as a professional fashion photographer, and his images would become some of the most cherished in the history of the fashion industry.
Boyd has made a name for herself in more traditional media as well, working for various British tabloids and publishing magazines. She has worked for several years in both print and broadcast media, and in her early years was a pin-up girl par excellence. She was the subject of a feature story in Life Magazine, which showcased her racy appeal and her ability to attract the male gaze. She has also appeared in numerous other publications, including Men’s Weekly and InVogue. She has established a reputation for being both a confident and sexy pin-up girl, and her popularity was epitomized by the cover of Vanity Fair Magazine in which she was featured.
Patrick has also worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, and Will Smith. She has also held major fashion shoots for Calvin Klein, GrigioPerla, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana. These images were used in print, television, and advertising campaigns, and have helped Patrick develop her professional portfolio. She is currently represented by agents from SGA, CAA, and Creative Artists Agency. She is licensed to represent fashion model Valentino and has done photo shoots for Prada, Fendi, Dior, and Gucci.
Pat Robertson works with a professional image consultant, called an image consultant. The image consultant will assist Patrick with choosing a portfolio, modeling services, clothing, and will provide advice on lighting, hairstyles, and general image awareness. The consultant’s job is to give Patrick a feel of what the fashion industry is like. The image consultant will coach Patrick on how to pose for photos, take photos, and edit the photos so that they are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also capture the person as they really are. The image consultant will also be present during shoots to give guidance and help Patrick identify the best poses to achieve certain looks.
A great advantage to working with an image consultant is that it gives the model the opportunity to try on different looks without spending money. There are a lot of different looks that a fashion model can choose from, so it is important to check out all of them before deciding which one is right for her. Since many of these images are taken by handheld cameras, it is important to invest in a good digital camera as well. If there are any mishaps while filming, it is best for the model to consult with the director or someone from the production company to get a refund. A fashion model who is comfortable with the image consultant and her training process will find it easier to become a successful model in the fashion industry.


Jennifer Lawrence the popular American Actress Ah! What a beauty!
A number of guys have indulged in her charm and one of the victims is our Itadori Yuji.
We have heard her name a lot of times in the anime series jujutsu kaisen Jennifer Lawrence.
It was often said by Itadori Yuji that he likes Jennifer Lawrence. Who else won’t like that beauty, one whose net worth is millions of dollars?
In the series Jujutsu Kaisen, they showed the continuous love obsession of Itadori for Jennifer Lawrence.
The actress had worked in hit movies like “ The Hunger Games” as the main protagonist. In another movie” Passengers’ in which she had acted as Aurora Lane with the supporting character Chris Pratt as“Jim Preston”.
jujutsu kaisen jennifer lawrence
That moment was hilarious when Yuiji proclaimed his love for Jennifer Lawrence while introducing himself to the Principle Yaga of his new school in jujutsu kaisen Jennifer Lawrence episode 2. And back to episode 15 when Itador was asked by Todo during Exchange Event’s Battlegroup, what his type is and he responded to him “That he likes tall girls with big butts…..like Jennifer Lawrence”.
This confession from Itadori switched on something in Todo’s mind and he asked him to be his fierce friend. Well thanks to jujutsu kaisen Jennifer Lawrence, she saved Itadori’s life because Todo was the opponent of Yuiji and he was way stronger than Yuji. There Todo also confessed his feelings for Tadaka- chan. The main fact is that the obsession of Itadori with jujutsu kaisen Jennifer Lawrence trips such a reaction which proves one of the best running gags in the anime series.
The reference to the actress originally had appeared in the manga and its inclusion in the anime made it more significant and it can be possible that Akutami had seen her films or what if he really likes Jennifer Lawrence.
One more thing to add to the line is that Itadori Yuji was not the only one who had a keen interest in western actors, because when this question was asked by others at the end of the episode. Nishimiya Momo spoke about Sebastian Stan. She has also followed him on Instagram and other social media apps.
Hopefully, as it may, we will see another similar obsession in the near future.
But to be honest, I’m looking forward to seeing more of Itadori Yuji and jujutsu kaisen Jennifer Lawrence’s love play. What if he actually meets her in the anime for real?
Well, my best wish for him……..that’s not gonna happen.
But it is one of the best gags of the anime Itadori’s Jennifer Lawrence Obsession.

The year 5/6's put on a performance last night as well as a couple of matinees earlier in the week. The kids threw everything had at it, and it was wonderful to see them all. Meaghan was part of the paparazzi, who 'interviewed' the stars as they waltzed down the red carpet. She also did a dance with a tweety bird mask later in the show.
The boys did a dance to Greased Lightning, which would never have happened in my day, but was one of the highlights of the night.
Mary Pitt did a wonderful job pulling it all together, such a good thing for all the kids to be involved in.

Casey Shot Jesse James
How did Casey Affleck got put into the supporting category during award season for his brilliant work in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford? He is clearly the lead in the picture. At least they recognized him anyhow, I guess.


When I thought about who I should highlight first this year during Italian Heritage Month, I wanted to go with a local hero. Yes, she is a favorite daughter of New Jersey, but she is also a favorite daughter of my hometown, Belleville.
Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero, known professionally as Connie Francis, was born into an Italian-American family in the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark. She attended Arts High in Newark for two years before attending Belleville High School, where she graduated as salutatorian from BHS Class of 1955. The high school auditorium is now named in her honor. Additionally, “Connie Francis Way” can be found at the corner of Greylock Parkway and Forest Street in Belleville, near the house in which she grew up.
Students sitting in that auditorium today may not know the importance of Concetta Franconero to our “Beautiful Village,” but those of us of a certain age certainly do. Early in her career, Arthur Godfrey made two recommendations to her. First that she drop the use of her accordion in her act. Second, that she change her name from Concetta Franconero changed her name to Connie Francis “for the sake of easier pronunciation.” So she officially became Connie Francis to the world.
Her life has been full of triumph and tragedy. She’s had many top songs we all know and love. I am particularly fond of Where the Boys Are and her rendition of Mama. She also acted in several movies during her young career. In the late 1960s, Francis went to Vietnam to sing for the troops. Through the years, she has performed charity work for organizations such as UNICEF, the USO and CARE.
Deep sadness struck her life several times, unfortunately. The first time was in Westbury, New York, following a performance at the Westbury Music Fair. Francis was the victim of a brutal rape and robbery after an intruder broke into her hotel room and held her at knifepoint. She nearly suffocated under the weight of a heavy mattress the culprit had thrown upon her. Her attacker was never caught.
In 1977, Francis underwent nasal surgery and completely lost her voice. She went through three more operations to regain her singing voice, but it took four more years to regain that lovely voice of hers.
In 1981, further tragedy struck Francis when her brother, George Franconero, Jr., with whom she was very close, was murdered by Mafia hitmen. Franconero, who had twice given law enforcement officials information concerning alleged organized-crime activities, was fatally shot outside his home in North Caldwell.
In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan appointed her as head of his task force on violent crime. She has also been the spokeswoman for Mental Health America’s trauma campaign. She worked hard to turn her personal tragedy into a story of triumph and inspiration for others.
In 1984, Francis published her autobiography, Who’s Sorry Now?, which became a New York Times bestseller.
Francis continued to perform and record and prove what Belleville and Jersey tough means. That’s why I felt she deserved to be the first person I honored during this year’s Italian Heritage Month.

Every time we were together, It happened Umm…There was no night that went by when I was with him and he didn’t sexually abuse me. It was a wonderful relationship and I learnt so much from him as an artist and as a kind human being. He is a good guy. – He is a good guy ? Yeah. – Show me where he touched you ? Wade : No not at all man.- Interviewer : No nonsense, no shenanigans ? Because he has always been a friend to me That’s what you do for friends, you tell the truth. Every time we were together, it happened. This was a shocker, because Robson previously had always defended the star against such allegations and denied that anything like that ever happened to him. In this film, we will lead you to the process of Robson’s changing of his story, the circumstances surrounding it and the legal proceedings in this case. Over the years, both as a child and as an adult, Wade has always defended Jackson privately and publicly alike and often volunteered to do so At no times did he give any hint of distress or confusion while while talking about Jackson. He always seemed very open and genuine about their friendship. In 1993, when the Chandler allegations became public, the Police contacted many families and their children who would spend time with Michael Jackson over the years; including the Robsons. Wade Robson, who at that time was 10 to 11 years old, and his mother or any of their family members never said anything incriminating about Jackson during that investigation. In fact, they defended him in a Police interview and in a grand jury testimony. Yeah, you know there has been different times when there were just me and Michael , then there were other times when he has other friends over too. It was like, I would say, a slumber party. We just have a lot of fun. Even I have slept in the same bed as Michael. It’s just you watch cartoon, you fall asleep you know it’s just a friendship. And I know he would never do anything to hurt my brother. He is just..he is the nicest guy we have ever met. – I have been there when these kids were in Michael’s room. I have been there with them. It’s just party time. They watched videos, they eat junk food, they play video games. They play so hard, they fall asleep. They are exhausted, they fall asleep. There is nothing more to it than that. From your stand point, does it seem unusual ? For a 34 year old man to have kids sleeping over ? – Not when you know Michael’s background . Under normal circumstances, possibly yes. But Michael, everybody knows he didn’t have a childhood. In 2005, during the Gavin Arvizo criminal trial, this time as an adult man, Robson continued to defend Jackson. He testified at the trial and denied ever having being sexually abused by Jackson. Robson continued to defend Jackson privately and publicly alike.
– Are you still friendly with Michael ? – Yeah! We still talk every couple of months, catch up
– You do ? Really ?
-What’s he like ? What’s he like ?
– he is a good guy.
– He is a good guy ?
-Yeah. Show me where he touched you ? Nothing? Never like that ? – Interviewer : No nonsense, no shenanigans ?
Wade : No not at all man. But he’s a weird guy, you have to admit that ?
– you know at the end of the day, it’s like everybody has got some weird about him. That was up until May 8th 2012, when he changed the story His claim is that it was not until 2012 that he realized that Jackson had allegedly sexually abused him as a child. He claims that he has always remembered what he now claims happened to him. Only he did not know until 2012, that it was sexual abuse, and that it was wrong. This is a weird claim, considering that during the 2005 trial, Wade was already an adult man and it was discussed everywhere how long such alleged acts would be and how there would be nothing consensual about sexual relations between a child and an adult. Another thing to consider is that when the Arvizo allegations became public, just a couple of days later, Robson was asked about them in an interview, and he said : That sounds like a man who fully understood sexual relationship between a man and a child would be wrong. And consider that, among other things, He also offered other fairly contradictory claims about why he didn’t tell his legit truth until 2012. This seems to contradict the claim that he did not know if it was wrong until 2012. According to yet another version, that he told his mother Joy Robson, as per her deposition, he denied being abused at the 2005 trial because he felt shame about it. But Wade contradicted that in his own deposition. Wade also made the claim that both in 1993 and in 2005, when he was already an adult man, Jackson had allegedly coached him on the phone, in the from of a role play. And that supposedly made him a masterful liar. Or a “Master of Deception”. as he put it, for more than two decades. Well, Jackson allegedly told Robson on the phone : That’s it. There is so claim that Jackson told Robson in a direct manner, before his 2005 testimony, what to say or how to testify on a stand. All Robson can claim is this supposed role playing on the phone. Think about it ! If Jackson had really molested Wade, it would have been an incredible risk taking on his part, both in 1993 and 2005. To put this guy on the stand, in 2005, as his first witness, and to rely on such lame supposed role plays and hope not only Wade would understand what Jackson want to be those cryptic comments on the phone, but also that he would surely go along with it, and would know exactly what to say. Wade Robson was my first witness in Michael Jackson’s criminal trial. I started with one of my STRONGEST witnesses for Michael Jackson, Wade Robson. He was adamant, that he had never been touched, never been molested, never been abused directly or indirectly. I called his mother and sister as witnesses to corroborate what he said because they traveled on his tours too. And to have him suddenly reverse so radically, years after Michael Jackson passed away and can’t speak up for himself, is outrageous. So I don’t think he has a case. I think this is a money grab, like so much of Michael Jackson’s unfortunate life. Everybody seemed to have their hand out in one way or another. And I just think it is ridiculous. Safechuck, I put him in same category.
He didn’t testify in the criminal trial but he signed declarations.
– He did. He did. As I recall he signed declarations, made statements that he had never been touched. But was Wade Robson a master of deception all those years while he denied sexual abuse, or is he master of deception now, when he changed his story and filed a lawsuit amidst monetary demands ? Once someone is a self-admitted master of deception, how do you decide when he is deceiving you ? Because let’s not forget, one is under oath and under a penalty of perjury while testifying at a criminal trial and also while making a declaration or, testifying at a deposition in a civil case. That means there is no way around it. Wade Robson is a proven liar who has no qualms about lying under oath and under a penalty of perjury. He either lied in 2005, or he is lying now, that he has changed his story and filed a lawsuit with monetary demands. On June 25th, 2009 Michael Jackson passed away. Wade and his family mourned him and they went to his public memorial. After Jackson’s death, Wade had nothing but praise for Jackson. Just like during his lifetime. In an exclusive book, “The official Michael Jackson opus”, that was published in 2009, Wade made an entry in which he wrote among others, He also participated in a tribute by Janet Jackson to her brother at the 2009 MTV video music awards. just had a wonderful relationship, I learnt so much from him as an artist and as a kind human being. ….. was a man like he was a father and that’s what’s really about, father and his children. And he is a wonderful dad. In November 2010, Wade and his wife Amanda had a son. A month later, in December, Wade was offered to direct a dance movie “Step-up Revolution”. And he accepted the offer. According to his core papers and the blog post he wrote in November 2017, He considered this as : In early 2011, Wade crumbled under the pressure of the job, which triggered a nervous breakdown in him, made him pull out of the project and left him purposeless. He wrote about it in a blog post in 2017 : On May 21, 2011, only 5 days after he started therapy, Cirque Du Soleil told Wade that he needed to be validated by Michael Jackson state. So Wade met with John Branca. During John Branca’s deposition in 2017, Wade’s lawyers suggested that Wade was eventually hired to do this Cirque show. However, according to Branca, they decided that Jamie King was better qualified for the job, and they picked him, rather than Wade. Despite of that, in a July 2011 interview, Wade talked about it as if he had a main role in doing a Cirque show. I am starting on Cirque Du Soleil Michael Jackson show which is a, you know exciting and terrifying at the same time. It’s such a huge responsibility. But that’s all right because you know Michael is such a huge part in my career and life. We were friends for 20 years before he passed since I was 7. So it’s an opportunity for me to give back to his legacy and to make sure as much as I can that it is stumped right and that it really represents his essence. According to the story, about 3 weeks into the therapy, on May 8th, 2012 he first started making allegations of child sexual abuse by Michael Jackson to his therapist or any one at all. How did he come from praising Jackson and wanting to work on Cirque Du Soleil’s Michael Jackson show badly in 2011, to claiming childhood sexual abuse by Michael Jackson in May 2012 ?? Wade now claims, what triggered his realization that he had allegedly been sexually abused by Jackson as a child, was watching his 1.5 years old son and imagining and visualizing him being sexually abused. Apparently, he needed to imagine and visualize his infant son being sexually abused to be able to muster up any emotion that he could build on his own story of alleged childhood sexual abuse. Visualizing things that he wanted to turn into reality was no stranger to Wade. In a 2002 interview, he said : Wade also claimed on his blog, what prompted him to confess to his therapist was a popular TED talk by Brene Brown about “The power of Vulnerability”. Which echoes Wade’s life who by the age of 16 choreographed for international stars such as Brittney Spears. For long time he struggles with the expectations and pressures of his job. From his blog post that he submitted in 2017 and 2018 after his lawsuit was tossed, we learnt about his struggles in detail. This was Wade’s real issue indeed, that echoed in several blog posts he wrote in 2017 till 2018. In another blog post in April 2018, he reveals that In yet another blog post in January 2018, he reveals that it was the pressure to achieve and succeed that led to his nervous breakdowns. He never mentioned these pressures and career struggles as the reason. Instead he claimed the reason for his breakdown was the realization of alleged sexual abuse by Jackson. And the show business was now associated with the sexual abuse for him because of that. Otherwise, he claimed in his complaint, his career would have continued in an upward trajectory. And it was a very convenient lie too. And then he suddenly realizes that he was allegedly sexually abused by Michael Jackson as a child. In his depositions and on his blog, The reality is however that Wade’s mother Joy Robson was a very ambitious stage mom and ” My kids worked every weekend and every school vacation.” “Their birthday parties were back stage. Their Christmas parties were back stage.” “No regrets. ” Despite of clear evidence that it was Wade’s mother who made her children work so hard, in Wade’s new version of his life, it is Jackson who is made out to be the scapegoat, for his unhealthy work attitudes. Jackson actually begged Wade’s mother to let Wade have his childhood. Joy Robson herself testified to that in her 2016 deposition : Also, from the 1995 article, as well as from the Robson’s testimony in 2005, or Joy Robson’s deposition in 2016, we learnt that Jackson was actually hardly present in their life at that time. On top of Wade’s career struggles and financial struggles at that time, he also had a marital crisis. So this is the context in which Wade, as a quiet convenient solution for all of his problems, This U-turn made it possible for him to sue Jackson’s entities for money or to use his new found story in other ways. Like seeking a lucrative book deal. In a note that he wrote to himself, that the Jackson estate found out about and presented at his 2016 deposition, Wade stated : There will also be a benefit in scapegoating someone else for his professional and personal problems and failures. With the claim of sexual abuse, Wade is suddenly seen as a victim, not as someone who failed in his profession and failed as the family bread winner. The blame is shifted on someone else. Wade claimed, that because of Jackson’s alleged sexual abuse on him, he was no longer able to do any kind of entertainment activity because : ,make music, make or even watch films anymore because of those activities association with Jackson. The fact is however, that Wade continued to do all those activities, all the while claiming in court documents that he was so dramatized by such activities association with Michael Jackson that he would never be able to do them again. So, he needed financial compensation. And announced his return to the dance choreography and entertainment scene. So the alleged bad association in his inability to work was suddenly all gone when his lawsuit was close to dismissal. Wade filed a civil lawsuit against two of Jackson’s companies In the lawsuit, to get the monetary compensation he desired, Wade portrayed these companies as The Robsons, who are originally from Brisbane, Australia, first met Jackson in 1987 when he was on tour in Australia. And Wade, who was 5 years old then, won a dance competition at a Target store where the prize was to meet Michael Jackson. Wade alleged in his lawsuit : Wade knows that too. Since in his 2005 testimony, he himself mentioned of Target organizing it. If it were upto Michael, their encounter would have ended there It was Joy Robson who made further efforts to contact him. She with her son, had delivered the Thank You note to Jackson’s hotel room a couple of days later. And, as a result, they had another meeting with him, for about an hour and a half. Again, this would have been the end of their encounters if it were up to Michael. The next time they met, or even talked to Jackson again was more than two years later in 1990. When, once again, it was the Robsons, who sought contact with the star, not the other way around. The reality is that after the Robsons moved to the USA, Jackson did not even spent much time with them, including Wade. In actuality, in her deposition, Joy Robson revealed that she had once pursued Jackson about calling Wade, putting him in projects such as Jam music video in 1992 and that : Wade also wanted to go on tour with Jackson, but the star would not take him. Before the 1993 allegations, the Quindoys talked about Jackson as a kind, shy man who was good with children. In 1993, in the wake of the Chandler case, Wade also claimed that he filed his lawsuit to help Jackson’s supposed other victims. But his treatment of those other alleged victims was certainly inconsistent with that. In his deposition, Wade admitted that he never attempted to reach out to Gavin Arvizo, the boy at the center of 2005 trial. So, despite of his claim that he filed his lawsuit not for money but as some sort of advocacy for Jackson’s other victims, he never bothered to reach out and apologize to the boy if we believe the current version of his story, that he had falsely testified at that trial. He also aggressively pursued Jonathan Spence, a man who befriended Jackson in the 1980s as a child. Spence never accused Jackson of any wrong doing and he still says that Jackson never did anything wrong to him. He also approached Brett Barnes, another man who befriended Jackson as a child and always maintained that Jackson never molested him. When Robson’s allegations became public in May 2013, Barnes tweeted : We shot for a year, umm.. and I was 10, 11 in that time frame and I also continued to be friends with him for about a decade. He just had this unconditional love, he was so pure. The general public just didn’t treat him well. You know, he treated everybody with such dignity, respect and just loved everything and everybody. Well, he was the big brother I never had. Quiet honestly. He was everything to me as a kid, he taught me so many things. He taught me about loving animals, vegetarianism, animals rights and environmental issues, caring about your fans. He was almost a metaphorical hero and he was also a literal hero. He was almost, metaphorically he was almost like a father that I never had. Basically, he befriended me. He took me into his life which is very rare for Michael to do. But he opened up his arms to me and accepted me as a very good friend of his. And throughout the years, he never let me go. ….we were friends,seriously, he was like my best friend growing up…for like a good fat stretch…it was legitimate friendship I sat there and gave them the names. They are on record. They have all of this information but they were scanning Michael Jackson. All they cared about was trying to find something on Michael Jackson. – Who you said, did not abuse
– Michael was innocent and that was what the interview was about with Police in 1993, I told them he is not that guy. And they said, “maybe you don’t understand your friend”. And I said “no, I know the difference between pedophiles and somebody who is not a pedophile because I have been molested”. Here’s the names, go invested. After he died, few of those people came forward and said “it never happened,…it was pressure by parents, by this or that. We really needed money…. “.
But it’s a little late. You know, thanks a lot. You put him through hell…You know he had always been nothing but a great friend, not just to me, to my whole family. We grew with him, literally, since he was 3 and I was 5. He really just was so humble and then never really played on the fact that he is “Michael Jackson” you know, he was just Michael. He was just our friend. …all these pages, 100s of pages, many many hours of investigation going to the Philippines, going to Chicago, going all over the country, There is not one scrap of evidence that Michael Jackson ever harmed a child, did anything wrong, committed any crime. It’s almost a vindication, when you look at this.
The FBI looked at all of these matters and said there is NOTHING here, and I think that’s the most startling thing I have seen.


When Rod Stewart took to the stage on Thursday, March 2 at the du Arena in Abu Dhabi, the only voice you could hear was the voice of thousands of fans that came out to hear the legend.
The stadium echoed with songs like Forever Young, but the sound that emanated from the audience seemed to drown Stewart’s raspy vocals.
In fact, the scene was reminiscent of a full house at London’s Wembley Stadium where the stadium is known to roar at each goal scoring move during a Premier League game, the only difference here in Abu Dhabi was the 8,500-strong audience was roaring along with Stewart, and they were in tune.
“This is a more intimate session than the concert I did last week at London’s O2 stadium,” Stewart told the audience as he joked and kept the audience entertained with his one liners throughout the night.
The 72-year-old flamboyant singer delivered as promised, his raw energy on stage was infectious and he had the nearly full stadium on their feet, dancing and swaying to his hits for two hours.
Keeping in mind Stewart’s fetish for checkered pants, the entire stage was dressed in black and white checks, including some of the instruments. The backing singers also wore Scottish Tartan skirts to match with theme on stage. The backdrop played various newspaper clippings and videos from Stewart’s past including a clipping of the singer being knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace.
The band – consisted of two drummers, two guitars, a fiddle player, saxophonist, and even a harp player, while the three backing singers were no less talented. Each member of the band proved their class during their respective solos. More info
