[kemetic-dreams]

Carol Diann Johnson was born in the Bronx, New York City, on July 17, 1935, to John Johnson, a subway conductor, and Mabel (Faulk), a nurse. While Carroll was still an infant, the family moved to Harlem, where she grew up except for a brief period in which her parents had left her with an aunt in North Carolina. She attended Music and Art High School, and was a classmate of Billy Dee Williams. In many interviews about her childhood, Carroll recalls her parents' support, and their enrolling her in dance, singing, and modeling classes. By the time Carroll was 15, she was modeling for Ebony. "She also began entering television contests, including Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, under the name Diahann Carroll." After graduating from high school, she attended New York University, where she majored in sociology, "but she left before graduating to pursue a show-business career, promising her family that if the career did not materialize after two years, she would return to college.

Carroll's big break came at the age of 18, when she appeared as a contestant on the DuMont Television Network program, Chance of a Lifetime, hosted by Dennis James. On the show, which aired January 8, 1954, she took the $1,000 top prize for a rendition of the Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein song, "Why Was I Born?" She went on to win the following four weeks. Engagements at Manhattan's Café Society and Latin Quarter, nightclubs soon followed.

Carroll's film debut was a supporting role in Carmen Jones (1954), as a friend to the sultry lead character played by Dorothy Dandridge. That same year, she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role in the Broadway musical, House of Flowers. A few years later, she played Clara in the film version of George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess (1959), but her character's singing parts were dubbed by opera singer Loulie Jean Norman. The following year, Carroll made a guest appearance in the series Peter Gunn, in the episode "Sing a Song of Murder" (1960). In the next two years, she starred with Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward in the film Paris Blues (1961) and won the 1962 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical (the first time for a Black woman) for portraying Barbara Woodruff in the Samuel A. Taylor and Richard Rodgers musical No Strings. Twelve years later, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her starring role alongside James Earl Jones in the film Claudine (1974), which part had been written specifically for actress Diana Sands (who had made guest appearances on Julia as Carroll's cousin Sara), but shortly before filming was to begin, Sands learned she was terminally ill with cancer. Sands attempted to carry on with the role, but as filming began, she became too ill to continue and recommended her friend Carroll take over the role. Sands died in September 1973, before the film's release in April 1974.

Carroll is known for her titular role in the television series Julia (1968-71), which made her the first African-American actress to star in her own television series who did not play a domestic worker. That role won her the Golden Globe Award for Best TV Star – Female for its first year, and a nomination for an Primetime Emmy Award in 1969. Some of Carroll's earlier work also included appearances on shows hosted by Johnny Carson, Judy Garland, Merv Griffin, Jack Paar, and Ed Sullivan, and on The Hollywood Palace variety show. In 1984, Carroll joined the nighttime soap opera Dynasty at the end of its fourth season as the mixed-race jet set diva Dominique Deveraux, Blake Carrington's half-sister. Her high-profile role on Dynasty also reunited her with her schoolmate Billy Dee Williams, who briefly played her onscreen husband Brady Lloyd. Carroll remained on the show and made several appearances on its short-lived spin-off, The Colbys until she departed at the end of the seventh season in 1987. In 1989, she began the recurring role of Marion Gilbert in A Different World, for which she received her third Emmy nomination that same year.

In 1991, Carroll portrayed Eleanor Potter, the doting, concerned, and protective wife of Jimmy Potter (portrayed by Chuck Patterson), in the musical drama film The Five Heartbeats (1991), also featuring actor and musician Robert Townsend and Michael Wright. She reunited with Billy Dee Williams again in 1995, portraying his character's wife Mrs. Greyson in Lonesome Dove: The Series. The following year, Carroll starred as the self-loving and deluded silent movie star Norma Desmond in the Canadian production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of the film Sunset Boulevard. In 2001, Carroll made her animation debut in The Legend of Tarzan, in which she voiced Queen La, ruler of the ancient city of Opar.

In 2006, Carroll appeared in several episodes the television medical drama Grey's Anatomy as Jane Burke, the demanding mother of Dr. Preston Burke. From 2008 to 2014, she appeared on USA Network's series White Collar in the recurring role of June, the savvy widow who rents out her guest room to Neal Caffrey. In 2010, Carroll was featured in UniGlobe Entertainment's breast cancer docudrama titled 1 a Minute and appeared as Nana in two Lifetime movie adaptations of Patricia Cornwell’s novels: At Risk and The Front.

In 2013, Carroll was present on stage at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards to briefly speak about being the first African-American nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. She was quoted as saying about Kerry Washington, nominated for Scandal, "She better get this award."

Carroll was a founding member of the Celebrity Action Council, a volunteer group of celebrity women who served the women's outreach of the Los Angeles Mission, working with women in rehabilitation from problems with alcohol, drugs, or prostitution. She helped to form the group along with other female television personalities including Mary Frann, Linda Gray, Donna Mills, and Joan Van Ark.

Carroll was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997. She said the diagnosis "stunned" her, because there was no family history of breast cancer, and she had always led a healthy lifestyle. She underwent nine weeks of radiation therapy and had been clear for years after the diagnosis. She frequently spoke of the need for early detection and prevention of the disease. She died from cancer at her home in West Hollywood, California, on October 4, 2019, at the age of 84. Carroll also had dementia at the time of her death, though actor Marc Copage, who played her character's son on Julia, said that she did not appear to show serious signs of cognitive decline as late as 2017. A memorial service was held in November 24, 2019, at the Helen Hayes Theater in New York City.

Storia Di Musica #293 - The Waterboys, Fisherman's Blues, 1988

And I am the Water Boy\The real game’s not over here. Nel 1973 Lou Reed pubblica Berlin, album seminale, oscuro, profondissimo e nella canzone The Kids compare il verso che ho appena scritto. Sarà lo spirito scozzese, così abituato alla poetica e selvaggia bellezza di quella terra, ma come per la vicenda dei Deacon Blue quel verso diviene una scheggia di passione che colpisce lo spirito di un giovane ragazzo di Edimburgo, che si appassiona alla musica. La capitale scozzese è tutt’altra città rispetto a Glasgow e ha dei particolari piuttosto noti a noi, dato che è attraversata da un fiume (anzi sorge all'insenatura (firth) creata dall'estuario del fiume Forth) e si sviluppa su sette colli (Arthur’s Seat, Calton Hill, Castle Rock, Corstorphine Hill, BVarids Hill, Blackford Hill, Craiglockhart Hill). Mike Scott è un poeta e cantante di Edimburgo, che per un po’ di tempo vive a Ayr, sulla costa occidentale della Scozia. Nel 1977 fonda una fanzine, una rivista autoprodotta dedicata ai propri idoli musicali, e il titolo, Jungleland, porta subito a pensare a Springsteen, Dylan, l’astro nascente in quegli anni Patti Smith. Istrionico, fonda un gruppo, gli Another Pretty Face e una etichetta discografica, la Chicken Jazz, che subito viene acquistata dalla Virgin di Richard Branson, che vedrà in questo ragazzo del potenziale altissimo, e non sbaglierà, dato che Scott sarà personaggio dai complessi risvolti e una delle figure più interessanti del panorama musicale degli anni ’80. Dopo varie esperienze, tra cui delle serate con Lenny Kane a New York, torna in Inghilterra e decide che chiamerà il suo gruppo The Waterboys proprio in omaggio alla canzone di Lou Reed.

Eppure musicalmente ci sono delle profonde differenze rispetto a quel disco mitico: Scott è affascinato da una certa idea di folk con contaminazioni rock, già fatta da gruppi leggendari come i Fairport Convention di Richard Thompson negli anni ' 60 e ’70. Il primo nucleo dei The Waterboys era composto dal sassofonista Anthony Thistlethwaite, Norman Rodger al basso, Karl Wallinger alle tastiere, Preston Heyman alla batteria oltre a Scott che suona la chitarra, il mandolino e altri strumenti. Con questa formazione si presentano ad una famosa Peel Session nel 1983 alla BBC, dove suonano il loro primo successo, A Girl Called Johnny, brano tributo a Patti Smith che entrerà a far parte nel luglio dello stesso anno di The Waterboys: già c’è la miscela interessantissima di musica in bilico tra folk e rock, equidistante da Van Morrison e dal rock epico post new wave. Più rock è A Pagan Place, del 1984, famoso per un brano, Church Not Made With Hands. Scott è ancora alle prese con una sua definizione di musica, anzi di una “big music”, che si leghi sia alla tradizione, ma che abbia un tocco personale unico e distintivo. Si ritira ai Park Gates Studio di Hastings, celebre luogo di una battaglia, ed inizia a pensare alla sua visione della musica, che parte sempre dal misticismo caledonico di Van Morrison ma stavolta vira con decisione verse le tinte fosche dei Velvet Underground, fino alla musica minimale (Scott dichiarerà di essersi ispirato a Steve Reich). This Is The Sea (1985) seppur con brani registrati in presa diretta, è un sottile gioco di strumenti e voci sovrapposte, in una rielaborazione in chiave celtica del wall of sound spectoresco, con l’aggiunta di testi profondissimi, che affascinarono un’intera generazione di musicisti. Il risultato è splendido. Ma Scott è tipo lunatico e quando sembra sul punto di spiccare definitivamente il volo, si prende una nuova lunga pausa dove, spostandosi a Dublino, inizia a rielaborare i suoi capisaldi. Si tuffa nella musica popolare e tradizionale di Scozia e Irlanda, e con l’aiuto di nuovi innesti, centrale quello di Steve Wickham al violino, nel 1988 pubblica il capolavoro atteso, uno dei dischi più belli degli anni 80.

Fisherman’s Blues è un album folk, ma che dalla tradizione si muove con estrema eleganza verso sonorità fresche, nuove, in un connubio che solo la genialità di Scott poteva costruire. L’apertura con la title track già da sola è euforia e classe, come la lunga e ipnotica We Will Not Be Lovers, tutta giocata su un riff di violini (canzone iconica). Le onde dell’oceano, le colline verdi, i muretti di pietra a delimitare i pascoli, i colori selvaggi e accesi sono sempre lì, tra una strepitosa cover di Sweet Thing di Van Morrison (da Astral Week) e addirittura il folk politico di This Land Is Your Land di Woody Guthrie. La musica da pub irlandese esplode nella stupenda And A Bag On The Ear (che è l’equivalente irlandese per un bacio sulla guancia italiano) che parla di un amore nato sui banchi di scuola. E come non adorare il sottile andare di When Will We Be Married. Se non si è ancora sazi di colline verdi smeraldo, atmosfere con l’odore tostato di birra stout, dell’affumicato di un single malt torbato e di semi di lino da sgranocchiare, c’è il colpo di grazia: un duetto tra Scott e Tomás Mac Eoin, uno dei più famosi cantanti di Sean-nós, che è un particolare stile di canto gaelico irlandese, che recitano e cantano William Butler Yeats nella indimenticabile The Stolen Child. Scott registrò così tanto materiale che solo nel 2006 ripubblicò l’album con la sua intera idea, che comprendeva ancora cover di Dylan, traditional e altre piccole meraviglie (tipo Let Me Feel Holy Again o l’altrettanto strepitosa You In The Sky). Scott, chiamato da attese spasmodiche, ritornò con lo stesso stile musicale nel 1990 con Room To Roam, che nei piani del cantante, risponde appieno all'attuale percorso musicale, che in onore al traditional The Raggle Taggle Gypsy Scott definisce raggle taggle music. Poi, inaspettatamente, virò verso un suono quasi hard rock (Dream Harder, nome omen, del 1993). E dopo una virata così inaspettata, ecco che, nella sua migliore tradizione personale, scioglie il gruppo e si prende l’ennesima e stavolta davvero lunghissima pausa, un decennio fino al 2000 quando ritorna a scrivere insieme ad altri musicisti nuovi capitoli di una saga nata 20 anni prima. Un geniale lunatico.

Slash - Orgy Of The Damned

Hey, Slash dropped a new album this past Friday, entitled Orgy Of The Damned, and it’s a (checks notes) blues covers album? Okay, color me curious, especially since I’m a fan of his work, but let’s see what kind of vocalists he’s recruited — Brian Johnson, Gary Clark Jr., Demi Lovato, Dorothy, Chris Stapleton, and a handful more. Now that’s even more interesting, as I like a lot of the vocalists here, and I’d love to hear these artists tackle a blues song. The only trepidation I had with the album before listening to it was how long it was, because 70 minutes is a bit daunting for an album, regardless of its style.

I will say, that after spending the last week with this album, my curiosity paid off, because this record is pretty cool. It’s not perfect, but it’s not necessarily the album’s fault, or anyone attached to it. I still enjoy it a lot, though, and blues / rock fans are sure to have a blast listening to this thing. I absolutely love that this is a blues covers album, so every song is from a classic blues artist with a couple of exceptions, including a Stevie Wonder song, and a Norman Whitfield song made famous by The Temptations in the late 60s, but those songs are given the blues treatment.

Every song on here is done with the utmost care and effort, regardless of the vocalist attached, and there’s not a bad cover here, although I will say that some of the covers are better than others, but that’s kind of due to the vocalist just not being one of my favorites. With that said, the songs usually work to the vocalist’s strengths. Chris Stapleton’s cover of “Oh Well” is a blues and southern-rock banger, whereas Brian Johnson’s “Killing Floor” is a hard-rock song with blues touches, so an AC/DC song, basically. A lot of songs here are what you’d expect, especially since everyone here has some blues cred, but that leads me to its biggest issue — some of this album, while Slash’s guitarwork is great, is pretty run of the mill, and the vocalists don’t stick out as much.

Dorothy’s cover of “Keys To The Highway” is good, but a rather forgettable slice of blues-rock, just as the covers with Chris Robinson (of The Black Crowes), Iggy Pop, and Billy F Gibbons. A few covers really stick out, like Chris Stapleton’s, Paul Rodgers’ cover of “Born Under A Bad Sign,” or what is both the most surprising and my favorite cover, Demi Lovato’s cover of “Papa Was A Rolling Stone.” It’s a fantastic cover and her vocals are wonderful on it. The rest of the album is good, albeit what you’d expect for a blues covers album. A couple songs could have been cut, but nothing is bad here. The album ends with a cool instrumental track from Slash, showing off his musical chops without any accompaniment.

Honestly, I really enjoy this record, despite it being a little too long, and the album having some peaks and valleys, but it’s a really fun, loose, energetic, and catchy album with some great performances from both the featured vocalists and Slash himself. This is Slash’s album, so he’s the main star, and he rules here. He matches his playing to the song and vocalist, but his playing is great throughout nonetheless. Slash fans should check this out, and fans of blues and rock should check this out, too, but only a handful of songs are really memorable. I’m not sure if this will be one of my favorite albums of the year, but even so, it’s a good time.

18+ MINORS AND THOSE WITHOUT AGE IN BIO DNI

YOU WILL BE BLOCKED

warnings: Green Goblin, talk of supervilliany (not exactly specific but it’s there), swearing

“Norman?” I asked as I walked into the lab. “Are you here?” It was eerily quiet. Turning around, I took in what projects were being kept in the room. I raised my eyebrow at the mechanical arms that I just knew belonged to Dr. octavius. Why it was in Norman’s lab I didn’t know. In the spot next to it, the project was missing. “The glider.” I muttered out as I turned towards the paperwork laying all over Norman’s desk.

‘Project Terminated’ was stamped across the file for the super soldier serum. Rolling my eyes, I put it to the side. As if anyone could come up with a replacement for the serum that made Steve Rodgers into Captain America. I pulled out the file that I was looking for and frowned. There was another ‘Project Terminated’ on the file.

“What?” Flipping through it, I noticed the military’s notes on how they could improve the glider. Going to the back of the file, I found Norman’s thoughts on the suggestions. “Nevermind then.” Looking up at the empty slot, I picked up the phone on the desk. “Otto?”

“Norman?” The man on the other end answered.

“No it’s (Y/N). Norman’s not in his lab and the glider is gone.”

“Could there be a flight? That could explain both being gone.”

“As far as I know there was no test flight today. And I found the file…”

“Terminated. Norman mentioned it to me yesterday.” I nodded even though he couldn’t see me.

“Yep. Along with the serum. Based off the notes from both the military and Norman it makes sense.”

“But it doesn’t explain why the two are missing. Maybe try calling him. He’s always going to pick up for you. I’ve seen it happen.” I let out a laugh. “If you see Norman let him know that I’ll need the arms for a test run tomorrow.”

“Thanks Otto. I’ll let know when I see him.” I hung up the phone and dug out my own from my pocket. I found his contact and waited for him to pick up. The ringing kept going. “Come on Norman. Pick up. Pick up the phone.” It went to voicemail. “Dammit.” There was a beep and I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. “Hey Norman it’s me. When you get this…Norman!” I had turned around and saw Norman standing in the doorway, glider and flight suit in his hands. I hung up and ran over. He dropped everything to hug me when we met.

“What are you doing here? I thought you had gone home for the night.” He asked into my hair. I pulled away from him and smiled.

“I was hoping we could head home together.” I furrowed my eyebrows as I ran a hand over the flight suit. “What’s with this? I called Otto. There wasn’t a test…”

“No. No test.” Norman awkwardly shuffled away from me. “I uh I just uh took it.” He started to put the glider back where it belonged and turned towards me. “Listen there’s something I need to tell you.” He walked over and put his hands on my shoulders. “Sometimes…sometimes I’m not myself. I’m someone else.” I put my hands on his arms and nodded.

“Ok.” He furrowed his eyebrows at my comment and shook his head. “What does that mean?” By the look on Norman’s face, it wasn’t anything good. “Hey. Hey. Look at me. It’s ok. Whatever it is, we’ll get through it together.” I moved my hand up to his face. Norman leaned into it.

“The accident. That happened here. A few days ago. It was me. I took the serum.” My eyes went wide and Norman started talking before I could say anything. “Our funding was going to get pulled. And I thought if I could show it worked we’d get it back. But it went wrong. I don’t remember what happened exactly. I just remember waking up at home and hearing this…” Norman gestured to his head. “Voice. It’s like mine but…unhinged. Keeps telling me to do things. Terrible things. The board…Spiderman…anyone that gets in my way…” Norman trailed off. His eyes went unfocused before zoning back in. His grip tightened on me. His head tilted away from my hand and I pulled it back.

“Norman…” a cold laugh replaced the one I normally heard. The one I loved.

“Norman’s on sabbatical honey.” I grit my teeth and took a small step back with my left foot. “I have a different name.”

“The green goblin.” I said. Norman’s eyes glinted in the low light.

“Exactly.” He leaned forward until he was in my face. “And don’t you forget it. Now are you going to get in my way, or should I make Norman add you to his list of guilty feelings?” I shook my head. “Good little thing.” Tilting my head, I brought my fists down on Norman’s forearms and jumped back as he let go. “You little shit.” I smirked at him before I landed a kick to his chest. He flew back into the desk and hit his head.

“Norman calls me a little tiger.” I spat. I could see the Goblin still hanging on. “Nighty night.” I landed another kick as he tried to get up, this time making him hit his head so hard he passed out. Kneeling down, I checked his pulse before sighing and pressing a kiss to his forehead. “Oh Norman. What did you do?” Quickly tying him up, I picked up the phone again. “Hey Otto? It’s me again. I need a little help.”

The President of

The White House, Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President:

For the GOOD and true HONOR of our beloved country, the United States of America, in the NAME of ALMIGHTY GOD, LYNCHING should be abolished.  Opinion seems unanimous that the United States Government possesses permanently the greater jurisdictional control (about 3/4) over each United States Citizen; and the State in which the citizen resides holds the remaining (1/4) jurisdiction.

Hence the elimination of LYNCHING, our most heinous STIGMA, should be accomplished through the Federal Government, because the respective States, for more than fifty years, have failed to suppress LYNCHING.  Therefore, we urgently appeal to our honored President, and hereby PETITION him to URGE the enactment into LAW, during the Extra Session of Congress, of either Senator France's or Representative Dyer ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.  By such worthy and magnanimous ACT, Mr. President, you will immortalize your NAME like the illustrious Lincoln when we signed the Emancipation Proclamation.  Amen.

For the Women.

CENTRO GEORGES POMPIDOU

Arquitectos: Renzo Piano Building Workshop , Richard Rogers 

Localización: París, Francia

Realización : 1977

Contexto cultural y descripción de la obra

En la década de 1970, los entonces desconocidos arquitectos Renzo Piano y Richard Rogers colaboraron en uno de los edificios más famosos y radicales de nuestro tiempo, el Centro Pompidou. El centro cultural de París, Francia, ha puesto nuestro mundo patas arriba. Todo comenzó cuando Georges Pompidou, presidente de Francia de 1969 a 1974, quiso crear un centro cultural en París que atrajera a los turistas y se convirtiera en un aspecto importante de la ciudad. Con más de 150 millones de visitantes desde su apertura hace treinta y tres años, no hay duda de que la visión de Pompidou se ha convertido en una exitosa realidad.

Para elegir al diseñador del proyecto, el presidente convocó un concurso en el que participó mucha gente, incluidos algunos de los aquitectos franceses más famosos de la época. Sin embargo, la gente se sorprendió cuando Renzo Piano y Richard Rodgers ganaron el entonces impopular concurso. Caracterizado por el constructivismo en su entrada, es un moderno centro cultural de alto nivel construido con un sistema de gerberets y cajas nunca antes visto en el mundo de la arquitectura.

Su concepto, representado en uno de los dibujos de la competencia como un collage, representaba el museo mismo como movimiento. El otro concepto en su diseño fue exponer toda la infraestructura del edificio. El esqueleto mismo envuelve el edificio desde su exterior, mostrando todos los diferentes sistemas mecánicos y estructurales no solo para que puedan entenderse sino también para maximizar el espacio interior sin interrupciones.Los diferentes sistemas en el exterior del edificio están pintados de diferentes colores para distinguir sus diferentes roles. Uno de los elementos de "movimiento" por los que el centro es más conocido es la escalera mecánica (pintada de rojo en la parte inferior) en la fachada oeste, un tubo que zigzaguea hasta la parte superior del edificio y brinda a los visitantes una vista asombrosa de la ciudad de París.  

El Centre Pompidou alberga el Musée National d'Art Moderne, que es el museo de arte moderno más grande de Europa. El centro fue inaugurado oficialmente el 31 de enero de 1977 y desde entonces ha integrado la arquitectura y el urbanismo de alta tecnología como un movimiento y espectáculo para que la ciudad lo experimente todos los días.

Biografía de los autores

Renzo Piano es un arquitecto italiano que, desde 1977 impactó en el curso de la arquitectura moderna. Ha sido clasificado como pionero en las altas tecnologías, gracias a sus diseños innovadores que, lejos de ser ambiguos, establecen una relación entre el marco geográfico y cultural en el que están asentados.

Richard Rogers arquitecto británico, responsable de algunos de los edificios más emblemáticos de las últimas décadas, como el Centro Nacional de Arte y de Cultura Georges Pompidou en París, que diseñó con Renzo Piano, y el Lloyd’s en Londres. Conocido por sus edificaciones pioneras junto a Norman Foster y Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers mantuvo durante toda su carrera profesional un compromiso con la relación entre arquitectura y medio ambiente, cultura y sociedad.
