February 5, 2018 Paul Simon Announces Homeward FEBRUARY 5, 2018 PAUL SIMON ANNOUNCES HOMEWARD BOUND – THE FAREWELL TOUR Artist to stage ultimate concert performances in North America, UK and Europe, promising audiences an historic evening of career-spanning hits and timeless classics NEW YORK, February 5, 2018 – Legendary songwriter, recording artist and performer Paul Simon, will embark on his farewell concert tour on May 16 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at Rogers Arena. Homeward Bound – The Farewell Tour will encompass shows across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, with Simon and his band bringing to the stage a stunning, career-spanning repertoire of timeless hits and classic songs which have permeated and influenced popular culture for generations. Tickets for Paul Simon’s Homeward Bound – The Farewell Tour will go on sale beginning February. The complete tour itinerary is listed below. Go to PaulSimon.com for ticketing information as it becomes available. According to Simon, the Homeward Bound tour is a fitting culmination of a performing career that began in the early 1960s and has coincided with his artistic journey as a songwriter and recording artist until the present day. He said of this farewell tour, “I’ve often wondered what it would feel like to reach the point where I'd consider bringing my performing career to a natural end. Now I know: it feels a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating and something of a relief. I love making music, my voice is still strong, and my band is a tight, extraordinary group of gifted musicians. I think about music constantly. I am very grateful for a fulfilling career and, of course, most of all to the audiences who heard something in my music that touched their hearts.” - more – Having created a distinctive and beloved body of work that includes 13 studio albums, plus five studio albums as half of Simon & Garfunkel, Paul Simon is the recipient of 16 Grammy Awards, three of which—Bridge over Troubled Water, Still Crazy after All These Years, and Graceland— were Album of the Year honorees. In 2003, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for his work in Simon & Garfunkel, and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. During his unparalleled career, Simon has achieved 29 Top 40 singles in the U.S. alone, with 14 of those reaching the Top 10 or higher, including “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” (which reached #1), “Kodachrome,” “Loves Me Like A Rock,” “Mother and Child Reunion,” “Late In The Evening,” “You Can Call Me Al” and many others. With Simon & Garfunkel, he wrote and performed the #1 singles, “The Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” and numerous other timeless hits. Paul Simon is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and has been inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, both as a member of Simon & Garfunkel and as a solo artist. Simon was a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in 2002 and was named one of Time magazine’s “100 People Who Shape Our World” in 2006. In 2007, Simon was awarded the inaugural Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, which recognizes the profound and positive effect of popular music on the world’s culture. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011. And in 2012, he was named the recipient of the prestigious Polar Music Prize along with classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Simon’s philanthropic work includes the co-founding of the Children’s Health Fund (CHF), which donates and staffs 53 mobile medical units that bring health care to low-income children and their families in urban and rural locations around the United States. Since its inception in 1987, CHF has provided more than 3 million doctor/patient visits. Throughout his career, Simon has also raised millions of dollars for worthy causes as varied as Autism Speaks, The Nature Conservancy, CURE, Tibet House and the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation’s Half-Earth Project, which is committed to stopping the species extinction crisis by conserving half the planet’s lands and oceans. - more - The Itinerary for Paul Simon’s Homeward Bound – The Farewell Tour is as follows: North America DATE CITY VENUE ON SALE (All Times Local) May 16 Vancouver, BC Rogers Arena Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am May 18 Seattle, WA Key Arena Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am May 19 Portland, OR MODA Center Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am May 22 Los Angeles, CA Hollywood Bowl Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am May 23 Los Angeles, CA Hollywood Bowl Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am May 25 Oakland, CA Oracle Arena Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am May 27 Las Vegas, NV MGM Grand Garden Arena Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am May 30 Denver, CO Fiddler's Green Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am June 1 Dallas, TX American Airlines Arena Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am June 2 Houston, TX Toyota Center Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am June 4 Austin, TX Frank Erwin Center Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am June 6 Chicago, IL United Center Sat, Feb 10 @ 10am June 8 St. Paul, MN Xcel Energy Center Sat, Feb 10 @ 10am June 10 Detroit, MI DTE Energy Center Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am June 12 Toronto, ON Air Canada Centre Fri, Feb. 9 @ 12pm June 13 Montreal, QC Bell Centre Sat, Feb 10 @ 12pm June 15 Boston, MA TD Garden Sat, Feb 10 @ 10am June 16 Philadelphia, PA Wells Fargo Center Sat, Feb 10 @ 10am June 19 Greensboro, NC Greensboro Coliseum Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am June 20 Nashville, TN Bridgestone Arena Sat, Feb 10 @ 10am UK & Europe DATE CITY VENUE ON SALE (All Times Local) June 30 Stockholm, SWEDEN Ericsson Globe Thu, Feb 8 @ 9am July 1 Oslo, NORWAY Spektrum Thu, Feb 8 @ 9am July 3 Copenhagen, DENMARK Royal Arena Thu, Feb 8 @ 9am July 5 Antwerp, BELGIUM Sportpaleis Thu, Feb 8 @ 10am July 7 Amsterdam, HOLLAND Ziggo Dome Fri, Feb 9 @ 11am July 10 Manchester, UK Manchester Arena Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am July 11 Glasgow, UK SSE Hydro Fri, Feb. 9 @ 10am July 13 Dublin, IRELAND* RDS Arena Mon, Feb 12 @ 10am July 15 London, UK* Hyde Park, BST Festival On Sale Now * With Very Special Guests James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt # # # .

  • Early Dutch Settlements in South Dakota
    EARLY DUTCH SETTLEMENTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA The first families came to this area from the Netherlands because economic conditions were such that there was no future for farmers and artisans. Wages were very low, both for the laboring class and the farmer. Many farmers had retrogressed to such an extent that they were forced to abandon their farms, and many workmen were unable to find employment. I recall that many carpenters complained about conditions, and they did not believe that it would be much better in the United States. Moreover, there were very few who had the means to pay for such a journey. Only those who had received some money from an inheritance began to think about emigrating. Rickele Zylstra, son of Je1le Zylstra, made plans to go to America with his family. I believe that he left during the latter part of 1881, and his brother Rein went with him, as well as a few families from Wolvega. The latter had acquaintances in BonHomme County, and all first went to that area. In 1882 these two sons of uncle Je1le went to Charles Mix County, and took up a claim. Riekele built a sod house for his family, but Rein returned to the Netherlands to be married. But alas, the girl of his choice refused to go to America, so Rein returned alone. In 1883 Douse, the third son of uncle Jelle, came here, and with him a family from the province of Groningan, namely 1. Dyksterhuis, with his wife, son, and two daughters. An older son had arrived a year earlier.

  • Rewind, Play, Fast Forward : the Past, Present and Future of the Music Video, Bielefeld 2010, S
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Keazor, Henry ; Wübbena, Thorsten (Hrsgg.): Rewind, play, fast forward : the past, present and future of the music video, Bielefeld 2010, S. 7-31 Rewind - Play - Fast Forward The Past, Present and Future of the Music Video: Introduction HENRY KEAZOR/THORSTEN WUBBENA "Art presses the "Stop"- and "Rewind"- buttons in the stream of life: It makes time stop. It offers reflection and re­ collection, it is an antidote against lost certitudes."1 Like perhaps no other medium, the music video clip is marking and shap­ ing our everyday culture: film, art, literature, advertisements ­ they all are clearly under the impact of the music video in their aesthetics, their technical procedures, visual worlds or narrative strategies. The reason for this has not only to be sought in the fact that some of the video di­ rectors are now venturing into art or advertisement, but that also peo­ ple not working in the field of producing video clips are indebted to this medium.2 Thus, more or less former video clip­directors such as Chris Cunningham or Jonas Akerlund have established themselves successfully with their creations which very often are based on ideas and concepts, originally developed for earlier music videos: both Cunningham's works Flex and Monkey Drummer, commissioned in 2000 respectively 2001 by the Anthony d'Offay Gallery, evolved out of his earlier music videos.' Flex relies on the fantastic and weightless underwater cosmos Cunningham designed for the images that accompanied Portishead's Only you in 1998. Monkey Drummer* is heavily based on the soundtrack written by the Irish musician Aphex Twin (Richard David James) for whom Cunningham had previously directed famous videos such as Come to Daddy (1997) and Win- dowlicker (1999).
