  • Love and Happiness (John Mellencamp)
    Love and Happiness (John Mellencamp) Well, we're droppin' our bombs In love and happiness In the southern hemisphere And people are starving So, if you sell arms That live right here Or you run dope And they're tearing down walls You got respect In the name of peace And you got hope And they're killing each other But the rest of us die In the Middle East On your battle fields With wounds that fester and But love and happiness bleed Have forgotten our names But never heal And there's no value left In love and happiness But love and happiness Have forgotten our names They raise the price of oil And there's no value left And they censor our mouths In love and happiness If you're a young couple today Forget buying a house And love and happiness And we wage our wars And love and happiness In the neighborhoods Have forgotten our names We kill the young to feed the old And there's no value left And man that ain't no good In love and happiness But love and happiness Love and happiness Have forgotten our names Love and happiness And there's no value left Love and happiness 139 “Love and Happiness” is a song by John Mellencamp. The song is included on Whenever We Wanted, Mellencamp's 11th album, and the first to be credited simply to Mellencamp's given name (i.e., without the "Cougar" name). The album reached the top 20 and went platinum. It also includes the hits "Get A Leg Up" (#1 for three weeks on the Album Rock Tracks chart), "Now More Than Ever" (#3 on the Album Rock Tracks chart), "Last Chance" (#12 on the Album Rock Tracks chart), and "Again Tonight" (#1 for two weeks on the Album Rock Tracks chart).

  • More Is More Brochure Cropped
    forEword What is the difference between a graphic designer and a “fine artist,” between he who gives highway signs their typeface and she whose canvasses and sculptures live in museums where admission must be paid? In terms of talent, possibly none. The difference is one of intimacy. We gaze up at our favorite paintings, gingerly circumnavigate the greatest sculptures—we literally put them on pedestals. But we hug our favorite books and records, and kiss their covers, and a particular typeface will forever conjure the road-sign at the turnoff to the summer lodge, that last turn that led to nirvana, the last week of August, the summer after tenth grade. I don’t want to meet the artist (the painter, the sculptor, the violin prodigy, the rock star), for if I did, she’d probably disappoint, and if she didn’t, I’d be tongue-tied. But the graphic designer? I want to clasp him to me, and ask how he did it, and say Thank you. No need to invite George Corsillo into your living room and offer him a nip or a puff—he’s been there all along. He’s been in your album crate since the early 1980s, showcasing John and Olivia at their Grease-iest, Luther Vandross at his sultriest, Benatar, Mellencamp, Yoko. In his toolbox, George always brings his analog chops, learned with the legendary book-jacket designer Paul Bacon; nobody has that facility with typeface or silkscreening who grew up only on computers. He brings, too, a party- down fierceness, a willingness to get his hands dirty (on the Grease jacket, those are George’s teeth marks on the pencil), a scavenger’s resourcefulness (the legs on the Tilt cover? his wife, Susan’s), and a tactful deference to the artist, masking, as needed, Vandross’s girth or Benatar’s pregnancy.

I am selling the cream of my collection.” Eric Clapton, February 2004 Crossroads Guitar Auction Eric Clapton and Friends for the Crossroads Centre June 24, 2004 New York – On June 24, 1999, Christie’s New York organized A Selection of Eric Clapton’s Guitars ~ In Aid of the Crossroads Centre, a sale that became legendary overnight. Exactly five years later, on June 24, 2004, Christie’s will present the sequel when a group of 56 guitars, described by Eric Clapton as “the cream of my collection,” as well as instruments donated by musician friends such as Pete Townshend, will be offered.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE PLACE: Jakarta DATE: 17 September 2016 Voice of Refugees Fundraising Concert– Joining Hands to Benefit Refugees Worldwide Jakarta, 17 September 2016 – Concerned business leaders and celebrities are joining hands with humanitarians and the general public tonight to help provide a better future for refugees everywhere through the Voices of Refugees concert. The event is being taped live at the Ciputra Artpreneur this evening and will be aired by Metro TV on 24 September, thanks to the charitable efforts of the Media Group. Ms. Noor Sabah, wife of the Norwegian Ambassador in Indonesia is involved as an organizer and patron of the concert. This marks the third year she has been helping to put together similar benefit concerts for humanitarian causes in Indonesia. In addition, this year’s Voice of Refugees concert has received the generous support of prominent Indonesian corporations such as Tahir Foundation, and the Media Group. Funds that are mobilized in connection with the concert will help UNHCR meet the urgent humanitarian and other needs of refugees, including shelter, health care, education and social services. Everyone who wants to help is encouraged to donate through UNHCR’s Indonesia Website at donate.unhcr.org. Donations can also be made at www.nobodyleftoutside.org, which would contribute towards UNHCR’s campaign to provide shelter for at least 2 million refugees by 2018. Donations are needed now more than ever as the world is witnessing a record number of people being forced from their homes due to war and persecution. By the end of 2015, over 65 million people were forcibly displaced around the world.

  • Clayton Cameron
    Clayton Cameron Clayton Cameron has a dynamic career that has already crossed many barriers in the world of music. From Sammy Davis Jr. to Tony Bennett, Clayton continues to push the envelope of contemporary drumming and brushes to their very limits. After the release of the 1990 video, “The Living Art of Brushes” Clayton has been given the honorary title “Brush Mas- ter”. Since the release of this ground breaking video Clayton has noticed a wonderful reaction from the drumming com- munity, “It’s been wonderful watching the growing interest in this art form. I never thought that my rhythmic tapping on empty oatmeal boxes would lead to such a distinction as Brush Master. My parents always thought I just loved oatmeal for breakfast. The fact is I knew the sooner I emptied the box...the sooner I’d have another cardboard drum.” Born in Los Angeles, California Clayton began playing bongos at the age of seven. By age twelve his fascination with drums became so apparent his parents decided to buy him his first drum set and sent Clayton to music school for drum lessons. “I guess they tired of my oatmeal box drumming as much as I tired of eating those hearty oats every morning.” Clayton went on to get a degree in music from California State University at Northridge. During college, he played in clubs around L.A behind artists who were mentors to him. They included vocalist O.C Smith, Ernie Andrews, Jimmy Weatherspoon, instrumentalist Teddy Edwards, Larry Gails( of Thelonious Monk fame) and Gerald Wilson.

  • John Mellencamp
    JOHN MELLENCAMP Born October 7, 1951 in Seymour, Indiana, John Mellencamp fell in love with music at an early age and was gigging in local bars and fronting a soul band by the time he was 14. His professional music career began in earnest in 1976 when MCA Records released his first album, The Chestnut Street Incident. His manager dubbed him Johnny Cougar out of his belief that nobody would buy a record by anybody named Mellencamp. John protested but was overruled and eventually, of course, reclaimed his birth name as his public name. After releasing a few albums, he broke out in 1979 with his first hit, "I Need A Lover" In 1982 his fifth album American Fool was the year's best-selling album on the strength of two huge hits, "Hurts So Good," and the number 1 single "Jack & Diane,"!! The albums that followed in the 80's, Uh-Huh, Scarecrow, Lonesome Jubilee, and Big Daddy, were released under the name John Cougar Mellencamp. Hit singles during this period included "Crumblin Down," "The Authority Song," "Small Town," "Rain On The Scarecrow," "Lonely Ol Night," ""R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.," "Paper In Fire," "Check It Out," "Cherry Bomb," "Pop Singer," and "Jackie Brown." Mellencamp took the music on the road with a band that many considered the best in the business, playing approximately 1,000 shows around the globe during the decade. In 1985, John's concern for the plight of the American farmer, which had been voiced in the Scarecrow album, brought him together with Willie Nelson and Neil Young in launching Farm Aid.
