  • Timesup for Sexual Harassment
    #TimesUp for Sexual Harassment By News Correspondents Syna and Naila Celebrities worldwide have been supporting the #TimesUp campaign. #TimesUp is a campaign founded on the 1st of January 2018, by a small group of Hollywood celebrities. It is a movement fighting sexual harassment in the workplace. #TimesUp started in response to the #MeToo campaign that came from the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment epidemic. However, it was also brought up by a letter published in the Times in November 2017 from the Alianza Nacional de Campesinas. The letter claimed of their experience of sexual harassment among female farmworkers. It is said to have been written on behalf of 700,000 of them in the US. Harvey Weinstein, 65, has been accused of sexual harassment in the industry. According to the BBC more than 50 women have accused Weinstein ranging from rape to sexual harassment. Some of these women are: Lupita Nyong’o and Cara Delevingne, who both claimed that Weinstein made them feel uncomfortable. Despite all of the allegations Harvey Weinstein still continues to deny any of the actions. People have been standing up to this in many different ways. Celebrities have been doing this in award shows and events and the public, through protesting. In the Oscars, Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, actors and actresses have been wearing black in support of the victims of sexual harassment. In addition, vocal artists supported the cause at The Brit Awards and The Grammys by carrying a white rose. Mariah Carey, America Ferrera, Natalie Portman, Emma Stone and former tennis player Billie Jean King Dua Lipa showing her support by arrive in black at the 75th Annual holding a white rose at the Brit Awards Golden Globe Awards 2018.

  • "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC: POLKAS, PARODIES and the POWER of SATIRE by Chuck Miller Originally Published in Goldmine #514
    "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC: POLKAS, PARODIES AND THE POWER OF SATIRE By Chuck Miller Originally published in Goldmine #514 Al Yankovic strapped on his accordion, ready to perform. All he had to do was impress some talent directors, and he would be on The Gong Show, on stage with Chuck Barris and the Unknown Comic and Jaye P. Morgan and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine. "I was in college," said Yankovic, "and a friend and I drove down to LA for the day, and auditioned for The Gong Show. And we did a song called 'Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung.' And the audience seemed to enjoy it, but we never got called back. So we didn't make the cut for The Gong Show." But while the Unknown Co mic and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine are currently brain stumpers in 1970's trivia contests, the accordionist who failed the Gong Show taping became the biggest selling parodist and comedic recording artist of the past 30 years. His earliest parodies were recorded with an accordion in a men's room, but today, he and his band have replicated tracks so well one would think they borrowed the original master tape, wiped off the original vocalist, and superimposed Yankovic into the mix. And with MTV, MuchMusic, Dr. Demento and Radio Disney playing his songs right out of the box, Yankovic has reached a pinnacle of success and longevity most artists can only imagine. Alfred Yankovic was born in Lynwood, California on October 23, 1959. Seven years later, his parents bought him an accordion for his birthday.

  • 12Th & Delaware
    12th & Delaware DIRECTORS: Rachel Grady, Heidi Ewing U.S.A., 2009, 90 min., color On an unassuming corner in Fort Pierce, Florida, it’s easy to miss the insidious war that’s raging. But on each side of 12th and Delaware, soldiers stand locked in a passionate battle. On one side of the street sits an abortion clinic. On the other, a pro-life outfit often mistaken for the clinic it seeks to shut down. Using skillful cinema-vérité observation that allows us to draw our own conclusions, Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing, the directors of Jesus Camp, expose the molten core of America’s most intractable conflict. As the pro-life volunteers paint a terrifying portrait of abortion to their clients, across the street, the staff members at the clinic fear for their doctors’ lives and fiercely protect the right of their clients to choose. Shot in the year when abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his church, the film makes these FromFrom human rights to popular fears palpable.
