I’ve been checking my list and checking it twice, but after listening to the latest laser-guided holiday claptrap, it seems that the majority of these greedy Grinches have been more naughty than nice. Heading up the naughty list is none other than that pipe-smokin’ child abuser Bing Crosby. So if you haven’t been a bad little boy or girl, pick up his collection of 16 yuletide chestnuts, Christmas Classics, or Crosby’s ghost of Christmas past promises to return to give your rump a sound rum-a-pum-pumming. Speaking of criminals, why not have yourself a merry little Christmas with the sweet falsetto vocals of Aaron Neville and his record, Christmas Prayer.

  • Elvis Costello Began Writing Songs at the Age of Thirteen. 2017 Marked the 40Th Anniversary of the Release of His First Record Album, My Aim Is True
    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

  • THE LOUISIANA CULTURAL ECONOMY: 2007 Status Report
    THE LOUISIANA CULTURAL ECONOMY: 2007 Status Report A report by Mt. Auburn Associates prepared for the: Office of the Lt. Governor Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism ~ Office of Cultural Development Louisiana Cultural Economy Initiative www.crt.state.la.us/culture 1 THE LOUISIANA CULTURAL ECONOMY: 2007 STATUS REPORT AN ACTION AGENDA FOR THE CULTURAL ECONOMY In 2004, Lt. Governor Landrieu launched the Cultural Economy Initiative. The goal was growing the Cultural Economy and furthering the development of the state’s unique cultural products. An initial Cultural Economy Summit was convened in December 2004, followed in August 2005 with the second Summit in which a strategy for building the cultural economy, Louisiana: Where Culture Means Business was presented. In the year-and-a-half that followed this report, the attention has been on planning and recovery. In New Orleans, a Cultural Plan, completed as part of the Bring New Orleans Back Commission, created new energy around cultural redevelopment. In other hurricane-impacted communities, the effort has been directed to normalizing operations for the many cultural organizations, as well as supporting the cultural talent and cultural enterprises affected by the storms. It is now time to revisit the Cultural Economy, take a snapshot of how the state’s cultural industries have been doing, lay out a new set of priorities for the state’s Cultural Economy, and develop an Action Plan for turning these priorities into reality. That is the purpose of this report. This report will focus not solely on recovery and hurricane-impacted communities, but in moving the entire Cultural Economy forward.

  • Playmates (Spenser 16)
    Playmates (Spenser 16) By Robert B. Parker For Joan 1 VINCE Haller invited me to lunch at the Clarendon Club on Commonwealth Avenue with the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Taft University, Haller's alma mater. "No sneakers," Haller told me. "No jeans, no open shirts with that idiotic gold chain you wear that's at least six years out of fashion." "Susan gave it to me," I said. "Sure," Haller said and gave me a look I'd seen him give witnesses during cross examination. It was a look that said you are a bigger simp than Michael Jackson. Which is why, on the last day of February, I was strolling up Commonwealth in my gray suit wearing a blue oxford shirt with a traditional roll in the collar, and a yellow silk tie that whispered power. My cordovan loafers gleamed with polish, and I had a brand new Browning 9mm on my belt just back of my right hip. The Browning was flat and the holster canted forward so that the gun snuggled into the hollow over my right kidney and didn't disturb the rakish drape of my suit. I was dressed to the nines, armed to the teeth, ready to lunch with the WASPs. If I hadn't been me, I'd have wished I were. Haller was waiting for me in the entry hall. He was wearing a double breasted camel hair coat, and a winter vacation tan that seemed even darker around his gray hair and mustache. Haller said, "Spenser," in his big courtroom voice, and put out his hand.

INTRODUCTION Brennan Gilmore works to provide jobs and training in rural areas, participates in local politics, and plays music around the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a Foreign Service Officer, Mr. Gilmore has devoted his career to promoting United States interests and to protecting American citizens through diplomatic efforts abroad. On August 12, 2017, Mr. Gilmore witnessed firsthand James Alex Fields Jr., a neo-Nazi, deliberately drive his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of peaceful protesters, killing Heather Heyer and injuring many others. Mr. Gilmore, who had been filming the protesters as they moved up the street, happened to catch Fields’ attack on video. Mr. 1 Gilmore posted the video on Twitter, where it attracted the attention of the press. After discussing what he had witnessed that day with a number of reporters, Mr. Gilmore soon became the target of right-wing conspiracy theories. Supporters of the alt-right and the “Unite the Right rally,” including the defendants, created a new identity for Mr. Gilmore—the organizer and orchestrator of Fields’ attack and a traitor to the United States.
