  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Songs with a Global Conscience Using Songs to Build International Understanding and Solidarity
    Rethinking Schools Online - Teaching About the War Page 1 of 4 Songs with a Global Conscience Using songs to build international understanding and solidarity. By Bob Peterson Songs, like poetry, are powerful tools to build consciousness and solidarity. Every week we have a new "Song of the Week," and we begin every day by playing the song. I distribute the song's lyrics to the students, who keep them in their three-ring binders. The songs generally relate to topics we are studying. I allow students to bring in songs as well, although they must know the lyrics and have a positive reason for sharing the song with their classmates. When I introduce a song, I use our classroom map to go over the geographical connections. I also explain any difficult words. Finally, and most importantly, I give the social context. Depending on whether I use the song at the beginning of a unit of study or in the middle, the amount of "context setting" varies. Following is a list of songs that teachers and organizers might find useful as they teach for justice in an unjust world. THE COLONIAL PAST Ballad of the Soldier's Wife, lyrics by Bertolt Brecht, music by Kurt Weill, sung by PJ Harvey. (September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill CD, Sony Music, 1997).

We begin everyday in my classroom with our "song of the week." Students receive the song lyrics and keep them in their three-ring binders. The songs generally relate to topics of study. I allow students to bring in songs as well, although they must know the lyrics and have a reason for sharing the song with classmates. By the end of the week, students may not have memorized the words to the "song of the week," but they are familiar enough with the lyrics and music so that the song becomes "theirs." Even with some of the songs that I would imagine the children think poorly of — say, some of the slower folk songs — by the end of the week the children demand to hear them a second or third time each morning. When I introduce a song, I go over the geographical connections using a classroom map. I also explain any vocabulary words that might be difficult. Finally, and most importantly, I give the social context. Depending on whether I use the song at the beginning of a unit of study, or in the middle, the amount of "context setting" varies greatly.

  • Message for Sunday, April 30, 2006
    1 Message for Sunday, April 25, 2021 The Rev. Michael Burke Preached at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church Anchorage, Alaska Little Children, Let Us Love One Another… Yesterday, I was working at home, and had the window open to let in the Spring air. From outside in the street came the sounds of neighborhood kids, laughing and riding their bikes and longboards in front of my house. For a moment there I was swept up in memories of my own childhood, riding my emerald green bike with the sunshine gold banana seat through the puddles formed in the street by melting snow. It was a melancholy, nostalgic feeling for a time that never really was, except in hindsight: but when all seemed right with the world to a seven-year-old kid. There were three major TV networks and the news only came on once a day for a twenty-two-minute broadcast. And when the news anchor Walter Cronkite signed off at 6:30pm and said, “and that’s the way it is”, it seemed that everybody trusted that it was so. My iPhone on the desk dinged with a pop-up alert, bringing me back to 2021. News and fallout from the Chauvin trial continues, one small moment of justice amidst a sea of more troubling developments. But nobody wins. A man is going to prison for a very long time. A man, George Floyd is dead. His family will never again hold him, see him smile, hear his laughter fill the air and mingle with theirs. A conviction does not bring him back.

    Digital Commons @ George Fox University Faculty Publications - Department of English Department of English 2018 "When the Light that's Lost within Us Reaches the Sky" Jackson Browne's Romantic Vision (Chapter Seven of Rock and Romanticism: Blake, Wordsworth, and Rock from Dylan to U2) Gary L. Tandy Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/eng_fac Part of the English Language and Literature Commons, and the Music Commons Chapter Seven "When the Light that's Lost within Us Reaches the Sky" Jackson Browne's Romantic Vision Gary L. Tandy In "Michael: A Pastoral Poem," William Wordsworth imagines "youthful Poets, who among these Hills I Will be my second Self when I am gone." 1 In his recent critical study, Andrew Bennett suggests that Wordsworth and the other British Romantic poets continue to have an impact on the poetry and poetic theory of our times: "Contemporary culture, indeed, is pervaded by developments in conceptions of poetry and art that are associated most fully with the Romantic period." 2 As Sayre and Lowy state, "Far from being a purely nineteenth-century phenomenon, Romanticism is an essential compo­ nent of modern culture." 3 One contemporary musical artist who could justifi­ ably be named a successor to Wordsworth (as well as other British Romantic poets) is the American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne. Beginning with his debut record in 1972, Browne has released twenty-three albums, consist­ ing almost entirely of original music. He was honored with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007.
