  • CAVE SPRING. GA., OCTOBER In
    VOL. xxxi CAVE SPRING. GA., OCTOBER in. No. 1 was often busied in their behalf in efforts to secure for them gainful occupations and other relief for their various needs. One of his great achievements for them was securing an endowment for the Wes- ley Memorial hospital now at Emory University conditioned on the perpetual free use of a ward there by the deaf people of Georgia. It was also through his good offices that the Methodist Church of Georgia provided a minister specially for the deaf. It is likely that this beneficence will also con­ tinue in perpetuity to the deaf people of Georgia. For fifteen years Mr. Crusselle has been a mem­ ber of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia School for the Deaf and at the time of his death he was a member of the Executive Committee which meets every month to consider ways and means of pro­ moting the education of the three hundred deaf chil­ dren composing the body of pupils. He was second to no member of the Board of Trustees in his eager interest in everything and every body at the school. He endeared himself to us all. Officers, teachers and pupils alike learned to love him and alike we mourn his loss. Alike we tender to his wife and the other members of his family our profound sympathies. Mr. Crusselle having had the training and exper­ ience of the educator could fully sympathize with WILLIAM F. CRUSSELLE us as teachers of the deaf. He was himself unusually By .1.

  • Sparks - This Town Ain’T Big Enough for Both of Us Episode 211
    Song Exploder Sparks - This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us Episode 211 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. (“This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us” by SPARKS) Russell: We're big, uh, cinema buffs, so I think we've always had this kind of rationale that in making pop songs, you're able to make the most elaborate movie in your own mind in a three-minute song. Hrishikesh: That’s Russell Mael. He and his brother Ron Mael are the legendary duo, Sparks, from Los Angeles. Over the last 50 years, they’ve released 25 albums. They’ve collaborated with Giorgio Moroder and Franz Ferdinand, and influenced bands like Joy Division, Faith No More, Björk, and countless others. There’s a new documentary about them called The Sparks Brothers made by one of my favorite directors, Edgar Wright. His films include Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver, and Scott Pilgrim vs the World. The new documentary premiered at Sundance this year, and comes out in theaters this Friday, June 18th. Here’s what Edgar Wright says in the intro of the film. Edgar: Sparks. How did this glam rock anomaly become a band with a career spanning 5 decades? How can Ron and Russell Mael be successful, underrated, hugely influential and overlooked all at the same time? And where does one even start with 25 studio albums and nearly 500 songs? Hrishikesh: We’re gonna start with just one song.
