SHAW: I took the long way to chUrch this morning, down past the old creek. I heard birds chirping and oUr own choir warming Up in the distance. I was reminded of a line from oUr great poet, Walt Whitman, who wrote, “I hear America singing.” And I thoUght, “Aren’t we the song to sing? Don’t we lift oUr voices to tell the world who we are? And what we believe?” So I ask yoU this morning -- what song are yoU singing? REN: (Turning in his pew) WE’VE ONLY BEEN HERE TWO DAYS AND ALREADY CHICAGO SEEMS A MILLION MILES AWAY.

(The BOY startles awake) But he doesn’t. And why? Because God is testing us. He’s watching to see whether we’ll choose his path.

    Bad Company Biography

    BAD COMPANY BIOGRAPHY One of the most acclaimed bands of the classic rock era, England's Bad Company has put its indelible stamp on rock 'n' roll with a straight- ahead, no-frills musical approach that has resulted in the creation of some of the most timeless rock anthems ever. Led by the incomparable singer and songwriter Paul Rodgers, arguably the finest singer in rock 'n ' roll and a huge songwriting talent. Formed in 1973, Bad Company came to life when Rodgers was looking to start anew after the disintegration of his legendary band Free. His powerhouse vocals and songwriting were a main ingredient during Free's impressive five-year run; a period of time that saw the release of seven extremely influential albums that featured Free's minimalist blues-rock approach. Included among Free's dynamic body of work is the 1970 smash, "All Right Now," one of the most recognizable rock anthems ever recorded. Lyrics and melody by Rodgers. He was Free’s main songwriter. Rodgers had met Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and after jamming together and listening to new songs that Ralphs had penned and songs that Rodgers had penned, Ralphs made the decision to leave Mott and form a new band with Rodgers. The duo recruited former King Crimson bassist/vocalist Boz Burrell, added drummer Simon Kirke and Rodgers Christened the band Bad Company. Rodgers’ brought in Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant and Bad Company became the first band signed to Zeppelin's Swan Song label. "I had to fight to get the management and the record company to accept the name Bad Company," explains Rodgers.

May the light of wisdom unite With love to accompany our effort; And may our souls find grace: The Path from God to God, eternally. Adastra Ad astra — to the stars — the soul is striving, Called by an unstilled longing. O path of Truth and Beauty that I choose — Of God-remembrance which pervades the soul! Thou art the song that stills all longing — The light of grace; O shine into my heart! The Lord is our Refuge and our Shield — Be thou with Him and He will be with thee.

Roks 2 1 Department of Sociology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2H4, Canada 2 Erasmus School of Law, Erasmus University Rotterdam, 3062 PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Despite the proliferation of research examining gang violence, little is known about how gang members experience, make sense of, and respond to peer fatalities. Drawing from two ethnographies in the Netherlands and Canada, this paper interrogates how gang members experience their affiliates’ murder in different street milieus. We describe how gang members in both studies made sense of and navigated their affiliates’ murder(s) by conducting pseudo- homicide investigations, being hypervigilant, and attributing blameworthiness to the victim. We then demonstrate that while the Netherland’s milder street culture amplifies the significance of homicide, signals the authenticity of gang life, and reaffirms or tests group commitment, frequent and normalized gun violence in Canada has desensitized gang-involved men to murder, created a communal and perpetual state of insecurity, and eroded group cohesion. Lastly, we compare the ‘realness’ of gang homicide in The Hague with the ‘reality’ of lethal violence in Toronto, drawing Citation: Urbanik, Marta-Marika, attention to the importance of the ‘local’ in making sense of murder and contrasting participants’ and Robert A.
