    A NNUAL R EPORT 2003 Americas Society Americas Council of the Americas Council Dear Friends: I am delighted to report that the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society took unprecedented steps in 2003 to renew and reinvigorate our commitment to our mission and our members. Last August, Susan Segal was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Susan had been a member of the Board of Directors for eight years when I charged her with the task of chairing a Strategic Planning Committee. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed by our Board. Thus, it made sense to appoint her to implement it. At a time of profound change in the Americas, Susan has the energy and the vision to assure that the organization continues to play a leading role in affecting the central concerns of the region. Since the latter half of 2003, we have taken significant steps to execute our new strategic plan. Our first priority was to assemble a first-class senior management team open to new ideas and committed to an efficiently run organization capable of top-tier execution. Under this team’s leadership, the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society have made significant strides in accomplishing our mission of being the preeminent U.S.-based not-for-profit organization solely committed to addressing current foreign policy, trade, economic, political, and cultural issues of the Western Hemisphere. We are very excited about our direction and remain steadfast in our desire to exercise significant influence on hemispheric policy on behalf of our members and in support of our core values, which include democracy, the rule of law, and free trade.

    Lemmy Kilmister: Dogged Insolence in the Face of Mounting Opposition to the Contrary

    Lemmy Kilmister: Dogged Insolence in the Face of Mounting Opposition to the Contrary www.slickstermagazine.com /lemmy-kilmister-dogged-insolence-face-mounting-opposition-contrary/ Joe Mitchell In 2013, at the age of 67, rock icon Lemmy Kilmister, best known for his work as the leader of thrash metal progenitors, Motörhead, had a cardioverter defibrillator implanted in his chest. Though his notorious drug usage had been restricted since the early 90s when he began suffering from diabetes and hypertension, he refused to completely give up drinking and smoking after the procedure. It did make him reduce his alcohol intake. He finally gave up his “daily bottle of Jack Daniel’s” habit that he’d had since the mid-70s. Still, he readily admitted he had could not completely give up alcohol and cigarettes . He called this refusal, “Dogged insolence in the face of mounting opposition to the contrary.” That phrase may well distill not only Kilmister’s life, but the entire philosophy of Rock ‘n’ Roll as well. More than two years later, just days after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, Kilmister died at about 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time in his two- bedroom apartment not far from his favorite hang-out, the Rainbow Bar & Grill, on Sunset Boulevard, where he was often enthralled in the playing of a particular video game. When Kilmister became too ill to leave his apartment, the owners of the Rainbow had the game moved to his home so he could continue to play it. It is said that Kilmister died sitting upright in a stool in front of the machine.

    Hawkwind More Serious Now NME - 27 November 1971

    Hawkwind More Serious Now NME - 27 November 1971 Nik Turner: "When Silver Machine was a hit record, when we were getting success with big gigs, it was quite exciting... And then it stopped because our drummer was taking all his clothes off." Right now, Hawkwind (at Ewell Tech on Saturday and Hammersmith Town Hall on Thursday, Dec. 2) are probably more involved in their music than ever before. Said Nik Turner (alto sax): "Apart from our bass player, none of us had ever been in a group before. When we started it was just a loon. It was great just to be in a band. Now, after two years it doesn't seem to be a flash in the pan and we're taking the music more seriously. "Personally I'm surprised we've got so far., I never thought our music would appeal to anybody simply because we've never pandered to public taste never compromised and just played exactly what we wanted., By a happy accident people seem to be digging it... And the band has good reason to be satisfied with progress so far. A community band in the true sense of the word, Hawkwind have taken experimental music to its' outer limits and combined sound, colour and lights perhaps more effectively than any other band currently working in Britain. "Originally we just wanted to freak people out," said Dave Brock (guitar). "We used to portray different trips -you know, acid trips- and because of our own experiences knew exactly how to get through to people. Although we've got away from that, we still seem to freak people out.
