  • James Taylor & Jackson Browne
    James Taylor & Jackson Browne - Aug 27, 2021 James Taylor will set sail on his Great American Standard Songbook Tour where he will be joined by fellow singer-songwriter Jackson Browne with a stop at Jones Beach Aug 27, 2021 - tix: http://JAMESTAYLOR.jonesbeach.com The coast-to-coast spring-into-summer run will give Taylor the chance to possibly debut new material from his forthcoming studio album & 19th studio recording, American Standard, which was also announced on Thursday and set to arrive on February 28th via Fantasy Records. Additionally, for Taylor’s 19th studio album, American Standard, the veteran guitarist and singer chose to take on a smattering of classic Americana tunes, including “My Blue Heaven”, “You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught”, “Sit Down, You’re Rocking The Boat”, “Pennies From Heaven”, and more. Taylor shared his cover of Gene De Paul and Sammy Cahn‘s “Teach Me Tonight” with the album’s announcement. James Taylor will take on the Great American Songbook on the singer’s upcoming album American Standard, due out February 28th. The LP is Taylor’s first since 2015’s Before This World and 19th overall. “I’ve always had songs I grew up with that I remember really well, that 1 / 2 James Taylor & Jackson Browne - Aug 27, 2021 were part of the family record collection — and I had a sense of how to approach, so it was a natural to put American Standard together,” Taylor said in a statement. “I know most of these songs from the original cast recordings of the famous Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, including My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, Carousel, Showboat and others.” Taylor also unveiled the first single from American Standard, a take on the Gene De Paul-Sammy Chan jazz classic “Teach Me Tonight,” previously popularized by Dinah Washington and Frank Sinatra.

  • I Have Been a Longtime Fan of Singer-Songwriter Jackson Browne. I
    Ezk 37.1-14; Ps 104:25-35,37; Acts 2:1-21; Jn 15:26-27; 16:4b-15 I have been a longtime fan of singer-songwriter Jackson Browne. I particularly love his song: “Running on Empty”: Looking out at the road, rushing under my wheels; Looking back at the years gone by, like, so many summer fields; I look around for the friends that I used to turn to, to pull me through; Looking into their eyes ….I see them running too! Running on empty;…. Running blind Running into the sun;…. But, I’m running behind. What makes this song so compelling is that, sadly, all too many of us are, “Running on empty.” The song describes a lot of us in this world, both literally and figuratively. As an aviator, gas is very important to me. Gas is good; no gas is simply, “airplane becomes big metal falling object.” And, as a carrier pilot, with lots of wet, ocean all around, you always want full gas tanks. So, you “top-off” from the airborne “tanker” aircraft every chance you get. Much like a lot of people trying to “top-off” their car’s gas tanks the past few weeks! I can honestly say that, as a pilot, I have never run out of gas… in the air that is. On the ground is another subject. My husband, Mike, and I were driving to his parent’s home in Prosperity, South Carolina late one Friday night. And we had one of those ‘married couple’ discussions. I kept recommending that we should stop for gas; and he insisted that we could make it.

  • Chapter 4: INFORMAL FALLACIES I
    Essential Logic Ronald C. Pine Chapter 4: INFORMAL FALLACIES I All effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare necessities and then must be expressed in a few stereotyped formulas. Adolf Hitler Until the habit of thinking is well formed, facing the situation to discover the facts requires an effort. For the mind tends to dislike what is unpleasant and so to sheer off from an adequate notice of that which is especially annoying. John Dewey, How We Think Introduction In everyday speech you may have heard someone refer to a commonly accepted belief as a fallacy. What is usually meant is that the belief is false, although widely accepted. In logic, a fallacy refers to logically weak argument appeal (not a belief or statement) that is widely used and successful. Here is our definition: A logical fallacy is an argument that is usually psychologically persuasive but logically weak. By this definition we mean that fallacious arguments work in getting many people to accept conclusions, that they make bad arguments appear good even though a little commonsense reflection will reveal that people ought not to accept the conclusions of these arguments as strongly supported. Although logicians distinguish between formal and informal fallacies, our focus in this chapter and the next one will be on traditional informal fallacies.1 For our purposes, we can think of these fallacies as "informal" because they are most often found in the everyday exchanges of ideas, such as newspaper editorials, letters to the editor, political speeches, advertisements, conversational disagreements between people in social networking sites and Internet discussion boards, and so on.

In this course, we will explore this exciting and self-consciously political and transformative field. After a conceptual introduction to feminist and anti-hierarchical theory, we will look in some depth at seven different types of feminist economic transformation: questioning/envisioning, equal rights and opportunity, valuing the devalued, integrative, discernment, combining, and globalizing/localizing. Our study will include feminist economic analyses of areas understudied or ignored by traditional economists -- occupational segregation by sex, the economics of the household, and caring labor – as well as feminist economic policy prescriptions.

  • JACKSON BROWNE Time the Conqueror
    Dilluns 18 de maig. 21 h · Sala Simfònica (capacitat reduïda) JACKSON BROWNE Time the Conqueror EL RETORN D'UN DELS MILLORS COMPOSITORS I CANTAUTORS AMERICANS Quinta essència del cantautor elèctric americà, Jackson Browne torna a l'actualitat discogràfica amb el nou Time the conqueror (2008), el seu primer disc d'estudi en sis anys. Amb aquest treball, que ara presenta a l'Auditori de Girona, el músic nascut a Alemanya però crescut musicalment a California torna a compaginar el seu vessant líric amb un fort compromís polític. Amb Time the conqueror, Browne es torna a mostrar com un trobador de gran talla artística i aguda visió Canço americana social. Jackson Browne El cantant i compositor Jackson Browne va néixer a Alemanya el 1948, però amb només 3 anys es va traslladar a California. A la segona meitat dels anys seixanta, Browne va aconseguir una sòlida reputació com a compositor als circuits folk de Los Ángeles, amb un breu però fructífer pas pel creatiu Greenwich Village novaiorquès. Entre els anys seixanta i setanta, cantants i grups com Tom Rush, Steve Noonan, Eagles, Linda Ronstadt o The Byrds van enregistrar els seus temes, mentre ell començava una carrera en solitari que va arrencar amb un primer àlbum homònim el 1972. Però no va ser fin el 1976 que aconseguiria la fama mundial amb el disc Pretender i amb cançons con Running on empty o Stay, paradoxalment un tema aliè que es va convertir en l'èxit més gran d'un músic conegut pel seu vessant de compositor. La seva dilatada carrera artística ha deixat obres que mereixen grans elogis, com Jackson Browne y For Everyman, que va significar el seu debut i la seva consolidació; Late For The Sky o el ja esmentat The Pretender, considerats per a molts obres mestres irrepetibles; Running On Empty, que barreja qualitat i èxit; o I´m Alive, més desoladora.

  • Who Watches the Watchmen? the Conflict Between National Security and Freedom of the Press
    WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO I see powerful echoes of what I personally experienced as Director of NSA and CIA. I only wish I had access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the courses of action it suggests while still in government. —General Michael V. Hayden (retired) Former Director of the CIA Director of the NSA e problem of secrecy is double edged and places key institutions and values of our democracy into collision. On the one hand, our country operates under a broad consensus that secrecy is antithetical to democratic rule and can encourage a variety of political deformations. But the obvious pitfalls are not the end of the story. A long list of abuses notwithstanding, secrecy, like openness, remains an essential prerequisite of self-governance. Ross’s study is a welcome and timely addition to the small body of literature examining this important subject. —Gabriel Schoenfeld Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute Author of Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law (W.W. Norton, May 2010). ? ? The topic of unauthorized disclosures continues to receive significant attention at the highest levels of government. In his book, Mr. Ross does an excellent job identifying the categories of harm to the intelligence community associated NI PRESS ROSS GARY with these disclosures. A detailed framework for addressing the issue is also proposed. This book is a must read for those concerned about the implications of unauthorized disclosures to U.S. national security. —William A.
