Deuce Coup - Angela (1968)

Angela, you cast a spell on me
No wish to be set free, like your company tonight
Angela, can't live without you, girl (Angela-aah-ooh)
There's something about you girl, I'd never doubt you, girl tonight (Ooh)

‘The Bear’ Wants You to Stop Worshiping Toxic Chefs

 

 

"Sometime over the past few decades, a strange thing happened: We started treating chefs as temperamental rock stars and restaurants as a barometer of cultural vitality. While pursuits like fashion, music, art and film all seemed to stagnate, retreating into repetition and nostalgia as the economics of these industries cratered, food surged ahead, becoming a rare bright spot in a culture stuck for new ideas. Seasonal, showy, produce-driven cooking was everywhere, and every medium-size city throughout the country had its artisanal pizza place, its special-occasion farm-to-table restaurant, its ramen spot with big ideas about broth."

‘House of the Dragon’ Review: Waiting for the Fire Breathers

 

 "Diplomacy versus violence. Dignity versus unbridled passion. Duty versus the selfish desire for revenge.

Wait, wasn’t this supposed to be about dragons?

the story doesn’t take on a real life. It’s neither interesting enough to pull us consistently into the flow nor weird enough to rattle our chains. The production is solid but static — it has the board-game feel that marks the franchise. The fetish for geography and architecture is there, but without the earlier show’s visual grandeur. And the audience’s emotions are still manipulated through melodramatic choreographies of events rather than genuine, organic surprise.

The consequences of these tendencies can be seen in plotting that is sometimes perilously thin. To provide some action and suspense in the early episodes, there is an alternating series of secret incursions, all of which succeed only because of a complete and hilarious lack of security at both castles.

In Trump we trust: religious right on crusade to make their man president

 

 "The couching of an Armageddon election, in which religious truth itself is at stake, with victory representing divine providence and defeat spelling total catastrophe, was crystallised by Monica Crowley, a rightwing political commentator and former assistant secretary of the treasury.

She described the election as a “hinge moment” comparable to the American revolution, American civil war, second world war and September 11 terrorist attacks. She spoke of a “war” against “the enemy within” that has spent nearly half a century “infiltrating, undermining and destroying” America with “godless philosophies”.

Crowley lamented that Hollywood no longer produces “patriotic films” like those of John Wayne and, extraordinarily, defended the communist witch-hunts of the 1950s. “Senator Joe McCarthy was right, and he was trying to ring the bell in the 1950s about communist infiltration in our government and the same deep state that is now going after Donald Trump,” he said.

“The same deep state that removed Richard Nixon, the same deep state that went after Ronald Reagan and anybody else who stood up to them. That deep state became very insidious and in the 1950s smeared and attacked Joe McCarthy for speaking the truth about godless communism in very halls of our government.”"

AURORA - Life On Mars

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman

Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

How the Language of TV is Influencing How We See Ourselves

 

 "You see a lot of this on TikTok now: videos that describe ordinary life using the language of television. Scroll through, and you’ll find users charting the different “seasons” of their lives or highlighting the emergence of plot “arcs.” You may find users referring to the people in their lives as “casts” — including both passing encounters with “paid extras” and recurring appearances by “guest stars.” A friend’s unexpected appearance might be tagged “NOO! Ur not in this episode” or described, as one user had it, as the moment “when someone from Season 2 of my life somehow crosses over into Season 4.”

There is a certain permeability between art and life, and pleasure in perceiving it: We take satisfaction in recognizing our lives in onscreen plot lines, as we thrill to real-life moments that feel “just like a movie.” But TikTok’s video-based format has wildly amplified the impulse to collapse the distance between the two and imagine yourself as an onscreen character. The app’s tools make it easy for people to film and edit footage of themselves, narrating their own stories in breezy narrative beats — making life look like an episode of television. The result is a perfect ecosystem for watching and being watched, where once-passive audiences are encouraged to see themselves as the writers, directors and stars of their own motion pictures."

15 Great Donald Sutherland Performances to Stream

 

 

 "A lithe and seductively charming actor who worked consistently for more than six decades in Hollywood, often as a leading man, Donald Sutherland died on Thursday at 88. As a thinking man’s sex symbol whose versatility made him equally persuasive in irreverent comedies and heart-rending dramas, Sutherland worked with major directors across multiple eras, including Robert Altman, Federico Fellini and Clint Eastwood and looked comfortable in both modern dress and period garb. His unusual height — he was 6-foot-4 — and sonorous voice gave Sutherland an authoritative gait, but he was given more toward gentle-giant sensitivity than masculine swagger. Narrowing his great performances down to 15 films is no easy task — there’s at least another 15 where these came from — but this selection of streamable titles is a testament to his immense talent and range."

Today’s “Beatles People” is Jane Asher

 

 

Paul’s girlfriend between 1963 and 1968, Jane was a major influence on his lifestyle and songwriting with The Beatles.

For a time Paul lived at the Asher family home in London, and a number of his songs were inspired by their relationship.

“I always feel very wary including Jane in The Beatles’ history,” said Paul.

“She’s never gone into print about our relationship, whilst everyone on Earth has sold their story. So I’d feel weird being the one to kiss and tell.”

Born in London on April 5, 1946, Jane was the second of three children born to Dr Richard Asher and his wife Margaret.

Dr Asher was a consultant in blood and mental disease. Margaret Asher was a professor of the oboe and one of her pupils had been George Martin.

Jane began her acting career at the age of five, playing the role of Nina in the 1952 film Mandy.

She appeared in a number of films, including The Quatermass Xperiment (1955), The Greengage Summer (1961), The Prince And The Pauper (1962) and Alfie (1966).

She also appeared in numerous television programs, including the British series The Adventures Of Robin Hood, and appeared as a panelist on the BBC music show Juke Box Jury.

“I met Jane when she was sent by the Radio Times to cover a concert we were in at the Royal Albert Hall – we had a photo taken with her for the magazine and we all fancied her,” said Paul.

“We’d thought she was blonde, because we had only ever seen her on black-and-white telly doing Juke Box Jury, but she turned out to be a redhead. So it was: ‘Wow, you’re a redhead!’ I tried pulling her, succeeded, and we were boyfriend and girlfriend for quite a long time.”

“Paul fell like a ton of bricks for Jane,” said Cynthia Lennon.

“The first time I was introduced to her was at her home and she was sitting on Paul’s knee. My first impression of Jane was how beautiful and finely featured she was. For Paul, Jane Asher was a great prize.”

By ‘63, the Beatles had become household names, and found it difficult staying in hotels and walking around London. Although they often went to plays and clubs, Paul and Asher often stayed in at her parents’ home, a townhouse with six floors. Jane suggested he regard the house as his London home, and her mother agreed to let him move into the attic room.

“There we’re people there and food and a homey atmosphere, and Jane being my girlfriend, it was kind of perfect!” said Paul.

“Really, I suppose what solidified London for me was the house that they lived in at 57 Wimpole Street.

It was really like culture shock in the way they ran their lives, because the doctor obviously had a quite tight diary, but all of them ran it that way. They would do things that I’d never seen before, like at dinner there would be word games. Now I’m bright enough, but mine is an intuitive brightness. I could just about keep up with that and I could always say, ‘I don’t know that word.’ I was always honest. In fact, I was able to enjoy and take part fully in their thing.”

Paul lived at the Asher family house for three years. The change of environment greatly broadened his cultural horizons; not least with the music lessons Margaret Asher informally gave him. She taught him to play the recorder – he later played the instrument on ‘The Fool On The Hill’ – and gave music tuition in a music room in the basement.

Paul and John wrote many songs in the music room.

“We wrote a lot of stuff together, one-on-one, eyeball to eyeball,” said John.

“Like in I Want To Hold Your Hand, I remember when we got the chord that made the song. We were in Jane Asher’s house, downstairs in the cellar playing on the piano at the same time. And we had ‘Oh you-u-u… got that something…’ And Paul hits this chord and I turn to him and say, ‘That’s it!’ I said, ‘Do that again!’ In those days, we really used to absolutely write like that – both playing into each other’s nose.”

“I eventually got a piano of my own up in the top garret,” said Paul.

“Very artistic. That was the piano that I fell out of bed and got the chords to Yesterday on. I dreamed it when I was staying there. I wrote quite a lot of stuff up in that room actually. ‘I’m Looking Through You’ I seem to remember after an argument with Jane. There were a few of those moments.”

Jane’s main passion was for acting. She was independent-minded and wanted to have a profession in her own right, rather than merely be a Beatle’s partner. She was opinionated and refused to sacrifice her career for Paul, which caused friction in their relationship.

“My whole existence for so long centred round a bachelor life,” said Paul.

“I didn’t treat women as most people do. I’ve always had a lot around, even when I’ve had a steady girl. My life generally has always been very lax, and not normal.

“I knew I was selfish. it caused a few rows. Jane left me once and went off to Bristol to act. I said OK then, leave, I’ll find someone else. It was shattering to be without her.”

Their five-year relationship came to an abrupt end when Jane discovered Paul in bed with Francie Schwartz, an employee at Apple.

Jane walked out and sent her mother to collect her belongings. Although she and Paul subsequently tried to mend their relationship but by July 1968 it was over.

Jane met the political cartoonist Gerald Scarfe in 1971. They married in 1981 and have three children.

Jane’s acting career continues successfully today. She has also written three novels and more than a dozen books on lifestyle, cake decoration and costuming, and has developed the best-selling Jane Asher range of cake mixes.

She is the president of Arthritis Care, the National Autistic Society, the Parkinson’s Disease Society and the West London Family Service Unit, and vice president of the Child Accident Prevention Trust.

She is also a Distinguished Supporter of the British Humanist Association, and patron of Bowel Cancer UK, the Scoliosis Association and the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Unit.
