Features Lifestyle 12 Established 1961 Lifestyle Features Sunday, December 6, 2020 orty years after John Lennon died at the hands of an evangelical FChristian assassin, surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still making music, now on their own. Sir Paul may be 78 years old but he is bringing out his 18th solo album “McCartney III” on December 18. It will be the third album McCartney has released on which he has not only writ- ten the songs but also played everything from piano to drums. Fab Four drummer Ringo is 80 and does not enjoy the same level of global fame as Lennon and McCartney, or perhaps even the late George Harrison, but he too is still going strong. ‘Home studio pioneer’ “McCartney III” refers back to “McCartney”, released in 1970 — the first time he did everything himself-and “McCartney II” from 1980. “McCartney is Photographer Allan Tannenbaum poses with his photographs of John Lennon and Yoko Ono in his SoHo studio in New York City. — AFP photos a pioneer of the ‘home studio’ where everything is done at home, because he knows how to play every instrument,” said Stan Cuesta, author of “The Beatles”. “He blazed the trail for this type of production, as Prince did later on.” The first solo album unleashed a firestorm with McCartney publishing a “self-interview” saying he would no longer work with John, George and Ringo, at a time when the split had never been formalized. n December 8, 1980 the filigree that took Lennon’s life, later perfumed gates of New York’s Dakota res- by the flowers from fans and mourners Oidence across from Central Park who gathered there in the days and went down in history as the spot John years to come. “What strikes me, is Lennon was shot dead.

JOHN LENNON: A MAN AND ARTIST UNFULFIILLED? Streszczenie: Niniejszy esej jest próbą syntetycznego, poniekąd psychoanalitycznego, ujęcia biografii Johna Lennona, zarówno jako ewidentnie zagubionego geniu- sza muzyki popularnej, jak i ofiary chłopięcego kompleksu zaniedbania przez uwielbianą matkę – później wysublimowanego w kompleks kobiecej dominacji i przeniesionego na Yoko Ono, jego drugą żonę i awangardową „muzę.” W re- zultacie ich związek, w znacznym stopniu wyidealizowany przez media, został ukazany w kontekście relacji Lennona z innymi kobietami (na przykład z ciotką Mimi), sprzecznych cech jego osobowości oraz ewolucji światopoglądowej i ar- tystycznej, która doprowadziła najpierw do dramatycznego rozdarcia między popowym supergwiazdorstwem a awangardowym artystostwem, ostatecznie zaś – do faktycznej niemocy twórczej w ciągu ostatnich pięciu lat życia. Per- John Lennon – człowiek i artysta niespełniony? spektywę komparatystyczną dla tych rozważań wyznaczać będą biografie Elvisa Presleya i Micka Jaggera. Słowa kluczowe: kompleks, trauma, dominacja, „krzyk pierwotny”, gwiaz- dorstwo, artyzm, niespełnienie Summary: In this essay, the author attempts at a synthetic insight into the biography of John Lennon, both as a confused genius of popular music and a victim of the childhood complex of motherly neglect: later transformed into the one of female domination and transferred onto Yoko Ono, his second wife and avant-garde “muse.” Consequently, their marriage, largely idealized by media, is shown here in the context of Lennon’s relations with other women (mainly his mother and aunt Mimi), his contradictory psychological traits and artistic/ ideological evolution that resulted in being torn between pop superstardom, avant-garde artistry and, in last five years, virtual creative impotence.

As long as people who call themselves artists have depicted others, they have also created images of themselves. As far back as Hildegaard von Bingen in the twelfth century, and probably before, almost every artist or artisan who has picked up a pen, a brush, or a chisel has been concerned with the depiction of self. Male artists have had the ability to present themselves as they are, as subject and artist, without a division between the two. Women artists have historically traveled a slightly different, and considerably rougher path than their male counterparts.

An extraordinary testament to one man’s perseverance, the Sundance award- winning film Watchers of the Sky examines the life and legacy of the Polish- Jewish lawyer and linguist who coined the term genocide. Before Lemkin, the notion of accountability for war crimes was virtually non-existent. After experiencing the barbarity of the Holocaust firsthand, he devoted his life to convincing the international community that there must be legal retribution for mass atrocities targeted at minorities. An impassioned visionary, Lemkin confronted world apathy in a tireless battle for justice, setting the stage for the Nuremberg trials and the creation of the International Criminal Court. Inspired by Samantha Power’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book A Problem From Hell, this multi-faceted documentary interweaves Raphael Lemkin’s struggle with the courageous efforts of four individuals keeping his legacy alive: Luis Moreno Ocampo, Chief Prosecutor of the ICC; Samantha Power, U.S.

  • The Love of John Lennon's Life - and It Wasn't Cynthia Or Yoko
    The Love Of John Lennon's Life - And It Wasn't Cynthia or Yoko Written by Andy Owen It was January 12th 1964. The Beatles were rehearsing at the London Palladium for their appearance that evening, on the top TV show, Val Parnell's Sunday Night at the London Palladium. They had first appeared on the show on October 13th 1963. But, only three months on from that debut, a massive change had taken place. Their profile had gone supersonic in that short time - as the scenes outside the theatre had shown. 'Beatlemania' was in full swing. Argyll Street was wall-to-wall with noisy Beatles fans from early morning. And they stayed there all day... 1 Their incredible popularity was also reflected in their fee for that performance - which had risen from £250 to £1,000. The Beatles topped the bill, which was broadcast at prime time, from 8.25pm to 9.25pm. Sunday Night At The London Palladium was an ATV show and attracted enormous viewing figures in the UK. The show was compèred by Bruce Forsyth - and all the acts appeared live. After doing a short skit with Bruce Forsyth earlier, the group closed the show with a five-song set - I Want to Hold You Hand, This Boy, All My Loving, Money and Twist and Shout. Also on the bill that night, were singer Alma Cogan and comedian Dave Allen. This was the first time The Beatles had met Alma Cogan. Alma was a big star in her own right and extremely popular. She was called the "Girl with the Giggle in Her Voice" and she had been the highest paid British female entertainer of her era.

  • SAN REMO APARTMENTS, 145- 146 Central Park West, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 31, 1987; Designation List 188 LP-1519 SAN REMO APARTMENTS, 145- 146 Central Park West, Manhattan. Built 1929-30; architect Emery Roth. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1127, Lot 29. On September 11, 1984, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a pub 1 i c hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the San Remo Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 13). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the prov1s1ons of law. Eleven witnesses spoke in favor of designation, and one letter was received in support of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary Soaring over Central Park, the profile of the San Remo is among the most important components of the magnificent skyline of Central Park West. The first of the twin-towered buildings which give Central Park West its distinctive silhouette, and one of the New York's last grand apartment houses built in the pre-Depression era, it was designed by Emery Roth, then at the pinnacle of his career as a specialist in apartment house architecture. A residential skyscraper in cl ass i cal garb, the San Remo epitomizes Roth's abi 1 i ty to combine the traditional with the modern, an urbane amalgam of luxury and convenience, decorum and drama. Development of Central Park West Central Park West, the northern continuation of Eighth Avenue bordering on the park, is today one of New York's finest residential streets, but in the mid- nineteenth century it was a rural and inhospitable outpost , notable for its rocky terrain , browsing goats and ramshackle shanties.

  • [TRACK 3: SURVIVOR STORIES: COMMUNICATING] John, Part I
    [TRACK 3: SURVIVOR STORIES: COMMUNICATING] John, Part I [John] When my wife, Susan, was diagnosed with breast cancer we both went into shock. I felt angry and scared all at once, but I didn't think I should tell her. I didn't want her to worry about my feelings, too. The whole thing has taken a lot out of both of us. But, we've found out that it really does help to talk about it. [Narrator] Communicating, which involves sharing information and sharing feelings, is an important skill for everyone dealing with cancer. Yet, many studies confirm what people often say: Communication can be difficult for many cancer survivors and their caregivers. Those who care about each other may not want to share the strong feelings that come with a diagnosis of cancer, and these feelings may make it hard to talk about the questions and concerns they have with doctors, friends - even their own family members. The “Communicating” program in the Cancer Survival Toolbox teaches the communication skills of being assertive, using "I" statements, active listening, and expressing feelings. In that program, we review how you can use communication skills to improve your well-being, because when your well-being is maintained, you can do a better job of helping to maintain the well-being of those you care for. Let's hear how John used the communications skill, assertiveness, to solve a problem. [John] When Susan first got cancer and we were figuring out what we needed to do to keep our family going, I tried to avoid telling people at work about it.

    Elizabeth Collins Cromley .one Also of interest- . ' AHISTORYOFNEWYORK S Manhartan for Rent, ~ 785-:850 EARLY APARTMENTS ELIZABETH BLACKMAR Elizabeth Blackmar charts the history of the Manhattan real estate market in the early nineteenth century and explains how changing property and labor relations transformed housing into a commodity. She examines the conflicts between landlords and tenants, politicians and developers, women and men, householders and domestic servants, and "respectable citizens" and homeless "vagrants" over housing's cultural meaning and economic value. Among the issues she discusses are the politics of landlording and land use, the republican conception of property, and cultural conflicts that accompanied the appearance of "new modern dwellings" and tenements. Manhattan for Rent, 1785-1850 expertly examines the social forces behind the formation of the city's housing market and its relations to the develop• ment of a capitalist economy.
