  • Alan Jackson Angels and Alcohol
    Alan Jackson Angels and Alcohol For more than 25 years Alan Jackson’s music has provided a soundtrack for American life. Whether someone is plowing a Kansas field or toiling away in a factory in an urban metropolis, Jackson’s songs have chronicled the hopes, dreams and values of everyday people. Hits like “Remember When,” “Drive” and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” have become an enduring part of America’s musical landscape, but Jackson’s restless creative spirit won’t let him sit on his considerable laurels. With Angels and Alcohol, Jackson’s first studio album of new music in three years, he continues to deliver the kind of insightful and thoroughly engaging songs that have long been the foundation of his successful career. From the pensive title track to the up-tempo first single, “Jim and Jack and Hank,” Jackson takes the listener on an emotional journey. “I’ve always got my eyes and ears open for ideas, melodies and things,” Jackson says. “I keep a running list of good hooks and titles, and if I have a melody that I come up with now, I just put it on my phone so I won’t forget. If I get inspired by something, I’ll sit down and write a whole song right away, but most of the time I just collect ideas and hooks and melodies and eventually I’ll get around to writing it.” Jackson’s observational skills have served him well throughout his 25-year career. The Newnan, Georgia native has sold nearly 60 million albums and released more than 60 singles with 50 landing in the top ten and 35 soaring all the way to No.

    NOTICE OF 2020 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT ANNUAL MEETING Friday, May 15, 2020 11:00 a.m. at Seattle Genetics Corporate Headquarters Building 3 21823 – 30th Drive SE Bothell, Washington 98021 Dear Fellow Shareholders: Seattle Genetics had a remarkable year in 2019 and entered 2020 as a multi-product oncology company. First, in collaboration with our partner Takeda, ADCETRIS® global sales exceeded $1 billion for the first time. ADCETRIS is an important medicine around the world for the treatment of patients with certain types of lymphoma. Second, we and our collaborator Astellas received FDA accelerated approval of PADCEVTM (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) for adult patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, potentially changing the treatment paradigm for these patients with a high unmet need. The approval expanded our commercial portfolio and will diversify our revenues from product sales, adding to a strong ADCETRIS base. And third, we reported positive results from our tucatinib HER2CLIMB-01 pivotal trial, which supported marketing applications in the United States, Europe and other countries to treat patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. These submissions position tucatinib to be our third commercial product, if approved, and allow us to offer a new treatment option to thousands of patients globally who are in need of better therapies. In addition, we believe ADCETRIS, PADCEV and tucatinib have other therapeutic opportunities and are investing in broad development programs. We also continue to invest in research and development as it is the engine for our future growth. We are advancing a robust pipeline of new product candidates in clinical trials, with a focus on first-in-class or best-in-class targeted therapies for cancer.
