In Memoriam: David Lindley (1944 - 2023)

David Perry Lindley (March 21, 1944 – March 3, 2023) was an American musician who founded the band El Rayo-X, and worked with many other performers including Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Warren Zevon, Curtis Mayfield and Dolly Parton. He mastered such a wide variety of instruments that Acoustic Guitar magazine referred to him not as a multi-instrumentalist, but instead…

Policing the Unpoliceable - Congo '64 [Remastered]

Premiered May 26, 2021

Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns and Money

The final part of my Mercenaries in the Congo remaster series, again, I have made a few edits here and there to fix up the cuts and the music, but the most noticeable change (for those of you who even remember the original all the way back in 2017) is that I shifted the focus away from all the executions and more on the ANC and mercenaries running amok.

Also, now would be a good time to point out once again that these are remasters of my 2017 videos and very few people even remember there was a part 3, the 2019 video I referred to as part 3 is more of a compilation which, if there is popular demand for it, I guess I can remaster that too and then I can finally put the whole Congo Mercs thing to bed.

Anywho, long winded rant over, look at all that cash those guys "liberated".

Brian K & The Parkway Set To Release “Straight Through” featuring Cat Popper March 1

Brian K. Pagels and Stephen Russ, the DC-area duo, Brian K & The Parkway, are releasing their second single, “Straight Through” featuring Cat Popper, known for her band Puss N Boots with Norah Jones and Sasha Dobson and for her work with Jack White, Ryan Adams, Willie Nelson, among others, who provides guest vocals on the track out March 1, 2024 – Pre-Save HERE. But how did a new band that’s just starting out secure Popper on their debut album?  The answer is simple, just ask. Pagels has been a fan of Popper’s vocals since he first heard her sing on Ryan Adams & The Cardinals’ album Cold Roses. “I was immediately struck and moved by her voice,” says Pagels. So, when he heard she was working on releasing her own solo material, he decided to take a chance and reach out. “I filled out a form on her website and asked her if she would consider singing a duet with me,” says Pagels thinking the message would go into a black hole of webforms. “Instead, she responded within an hour with ‘damn dude, I love this tune!,’” says Pagels. After emailing back and forth and talking on the phone “everything came really naturally from there, including the vocal arrangement which I was honored to lay out for Brian and Cat,” says Russ. “They both brought their own touch to it, Cat delivered an incredible vocal take, and that’s the magic you hear on the song.”  Adds Popper, “This song was so fun to sing on and was stuck in my head for weeks!” Brian K & The Parkway just released their debut single “Wind The Clock” January 12 – Listen HERE. On release day, Unrecorded named it a “best new track.” Mayhem Rockstar Magazine said it’s “…a light, infectious composition” while Alchemical Records says the song, “…really highlights this focus on songwriting and storytelling while embracing an energetic and uplifting musicality that is guitar driven, rooted in rock and roll…” “Wind The Clock” which opens with a lilting guitar riff and drum groove, is a commentary on tribalism and the extreme black and white thinking that has materialized in society today. The song offers a means to expel the frustration of it all while expressing a spirit of hope and solidarity with those actively fighting for a better world despite all the forces working against them. “I wanted it to be an anthem for ‘my people,’ those who value peacebuilding, justice, equality, democracy, and universal human rights,” says Pagels. The duo are set to release their debut album, Killing The Bear, March 29, 2024. Most of the work on Killing The Bear was done by Pagels and Russ, but it was mastered by Justin Perkins (North Mississippi Allstars, The Replacements, Lydia Loveless), co-engineered by Zac Thomas at The Jam Room in Columbia, SC, and co-produced and mixed by Collin Derrick. The nine-song collection, a nod to the ‘70s rock sound of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Warren Zevon, is guitar-based, roots-oriented rock, infused with a healthy dose of soul and R&B. Piano and organ play a critical role in establishing the sound along with some horns thrown in for good measure. The duo dubs their sound “coastal heartland rock,” reflecting the fact that their major influences are artists that hail from coastal areas such as New Jersey, Florida, and California, but are known for their own mix of classic heartland rock. Pagels and Russ formed Brian K & The Parkway in 2021. Pagels is from Springsteen’s hometown of Freehold, NJ, Russ is from the Carolinas, both share an innate connection to The Boss and are acutely inspired by him. Although the guys refer to the band name fondly as “very Jersey,” it denotes Pagels‘s name and the fact that The George Washington Memorial Parkway connects the route between their Northern Virginia homes; Pagels lives in Alexandria, Russ lives in Arlington. Killing The Bear’s overarching theme is about our ever-increasing inability as humans to deal with the source of our problems and instead, look to surface-level, near-term solutions, and then declare immediate victory. The songs serve as vignettes about the things we do to cope, for better or worse. Now, with their debut coming, Brian K & The Parkway can’t wait to get out on the road to play it for audiences up and down the east coast beginning this March. They will be kicking off their east coast tour with a special all ages album release party at Jammin Java in Vienna, VA on March 29. Tickets are on sale now HERE. Additional dates below, including a stop in Brooklyn, NY with Diane Gentile. More dates to be added soon. TOUR DATES: March 29 – Jammin Java, Vienna, VA – All ages album release show April 25 – Tin Roof, Charleston, SC April 26 – Curiosity Coffee, Columbia, SC April 28 – The Pinhook, Durham, NC April 30 – The Camel, Richmond, VA May 1 – Quarry House Tavern, Silver Springs, MD May 3 – The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, Asbury Park, NJ May 4 – Faces Brewing, Boston, MA May 5 – Sleepwalk, Brooklyn, NY (with Diane Gentile) Brian K & The Parkway Website Instagram Spotify Facebook Substack #  #  # Read the full article

304: Guy Clark // Better Days

Better Days Guy Clark 1983, Warner Bros.

I realized two things listening to Guy Clark’s Better Days today. One, is that I’m partial to lyricists who tell me about finding things they’d shoved in a drawer and forgotten about. It suggests they’re old enough to have possessed a drawer for a long time; that they prefer to use concrete imagery to tell me the things they’re repressing instead of blathering about abstractions or using therapyspeak; and that their writing’s concerned with memory and how it’s kept. Guy Clark’s lyrical universe is almost unparalleled in its collection of drawers, work benches, knives, hammers, bolts, and wrenches. He has a song called “Stuff That Works,” and it’s just a list of what it says on the tin.

The other thing I realized is that I’m more game for what I’ll simply refer to as “Jimmy Buffett Shit” than I was ready to admit before I took on this project. My favourite song by forty knots on this consummate songwriter’s record isn’t anything writerly—it’s the marinacore pop rocker “Supply and Demand.” We open with a flip-flop tapping take-off of the “Jack & Diane” intro, interpolate a little Chuck Berry, gloop on some AOR lead guitar, and put anchor in Margaritaville for an easy-drinking near-nonsense chorus that absolutely will not leave my head. It rules. Clark’s always had this gear—the song feels like a throwback to his slightly-underrated second record, Texas Cookin’—and it turns out a lot of my favourite songwriters have it too, from honorary Parrothead Jerry Jeff Walker to lupine Californian Warren Zevon. The problem was always Jimmy himself, it turned out. I’m absolutely down for hedonistic goof rock, but Jimmy was a hack.

Anyway, Better Days will top few Clark fans’ personal rankings, but I’ve never heard a record of his that was a complete miss. Better Days is one of his swings at pop country (1983 style), so there’s a fair amount of varnish on the carpentry compared to rustic Americana-era efforts like Dublin Blues (which contains a superior take on the best song here, “The Randall Knife”) or My Favorite Picture of You, but the craftsmanship is true. Clark offers a gently rollicking version of Townes Van Zandt’s sly “No Deal,” while “Uncertain Texas” finds Clark dueting with sideman Vince Gill, who sounds ready for the stardom he was still a few years off from. “Tears” is probably the most traditional honky tonk Clark ever cut, and “Homegrown Tomatoes” remains a nice little back porch retread of his debut’s standout “Rita Ballou.”

Add this one to Clark’s long list of working stuff.

Tom Ciurczak's "I Ain't Ever Growing Up": A California Style "Outlaw Rock" release with a distinctive approach to storytelling.

Tom Ciurczak, a talented musician and a proficient guitarist, has recently unveiled his latest album, “I Ain't Ever Growing Up." This record is a refreshing take on rock music, showcasing a distinctive “California style” of rock songwriting, which the artist dubs “Outlaw Rock.” The songs are very personal and outspoken, dealing with themes of friendships, love, growing up and living life, and trying to stay young at heart.

With his powerful vocals and jangly guitars, Tom provides authenticity and realness to his fans. As a result, “I Ain't Ever Growing Up” is a nostalgic journey that strikes a perfect balance between raw energy and soulful introspection, leaving listeners in the mood to look back on their own memories and cherish the good times they experienced and all the connections they made.

As a guitar player, Tom set out to combine his technical mastery and a creative approach to create compelling harmonies and melodies. His style is rooted in his love of old-school rock sounds, but there is also a lot of blues and Americana in the mix of influences that have inspired him. Looking up to iconic guitarists like Eric Clapton and Joe Walsh, Tom developed a style that stands out, leaving an indelible mark and defining the trajectory of the music.

True to its title, "I Ain't Ever Growing Up" is a celebration of being young, but not necessarily in terms of age. Youth isn’t just a number but a state of mind, which we can carry on until the very end if we are open to it. These songs are strong reminders to seize life with the spark of youth, regardless of our age. As a whole, this record is also a heartfelt tribute to the music that shaped Tom's formative years. It takes listeners on a nostalgic journey back to the time when Tom was discovering his voice in music and life. "I Ain't Ever Growing Up" is a powerful musical and personal statement. It stands as an artistic testament to the power of music and how it relates to personal growth and transformation. It’s beautiful to see how Tom is open to celebrating his roots and paying respect to the artists who influenced him. Many artists aren’t very transparent about their inspirations, so it’s truly refreshing to see a songwriter who wears his heart on a sleeve. By being so upfront about celebrating the music he grew up with, Tom is able to carry the torch of creativity forward, hopefully inspiring newer generations to follow suit and keep the thread going.

Song-by-song breakdown

This album features eight tracks, with the opener "Ontario Nights" having a clean version. "All Night Long" stands out as one of the highlights of the album, providing a great introduction to the overall vibe and feel of the release. "Kilimanjaro Skies" adds to the emotions and nostalgia conveyed through the music, making it all the more mesmerizing. "Action Out There" is one of the most energetic tracks on the album, leading perfectly into "Nights on Fire," a celebration of good times. "Right Or Wrong Choice" offers a more introspective tone, followed by "The Vault," which serves as a metaphor for cherishing memories and reminiscing. Finally, "Bonnie And Clyde" provides a powerful conclusion to the album.

A fresh approach to songwriting

Fans of iconic artists like Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, and Warren Zevon will find a comforting familiarity in the sound of "I Ain't Ever Growing Up." The album embodies the quintessential spirit of rock while simultaneously tipping its hat to the authenticity of Americana and roots music. Tom's impeccable songwriting skill showcases his ability to channel the essence of some of the finest American songwriters while infusing each track with his distinctive personal touch. Speaking of, he perfected a unique songwriting style, which he refers to as his "Campfire Horror Story Technique.” His methodology adds a touch of dark humor to his compositions, making them more relatable to the audience. Beneath the lightheartedness, the songs delve into existential themes, reflecting on the complexities of growing up without succumbing to the weight of growing old.

In line with its meaning and concept, the album boasts an edgy and energetic sound, invigorating listeners with every chord and beat. Yet, Tom's music goes beyond just being energetic; it exudes a certain depth and nuance that sets it apart from the conventional rock fare, learning valuable lessons from some of the greatest American songwriters.

In a constantly evolving world, this amazing studio work stands as a stark reminder that some things remain timeless – the power of music to shape lives, instill camaraderie, and keep the spirit of youth alive is priceless.

Find out more about Tom Ciurczak, via his official website and do not miss out on “I Ain't Ever Growing Up.” This release will be available on some of the best digital streaming services very soon.

As mentioned ad nauseum, the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has had an enormous impact in my life, particularly the concept of "turning".

After Dr. J, the next huge turn character was Lawrence Talbot played by Lon Chaney Junior. who transformed into the Wolfman through no fault of his own. Wheras Dr. J can be seen as a study in addiction and the duality of human nature, Larry Talbot was an innocent victim infected by the bite of a werewolf.

When Talbot transforms into the Wolf Man, he appears as a humanoid creature with fur covering his body. He stands upright on two legs, but his posture is more hunched and animalistic than a human's. His arms are also covered in fur and end in clawed hands.

The Wolf Man's face is one of the most distinctive features of his character. He has a broad, wolf-like snout with sharp teeth and a fur-covered nose. His eyes are angry and piecing, and his eyebrows are thick and furrowed. His ears are pointed and slightly raised on top of his head, his hair is shaggy and unkempt and yes Warren Zevon his hair does look good in the back.

He even becomes a hero when he battles with the Frankenstein monster in Frankenstein meets the Wolfman.

The next great werewolf of my youth was Tony Rivers, the character played by Michael Landon of all people in I Was A Teenage Werewolf which I saw just prior to becoming a teenager and may well be a factor in my growing a beard. He too had great hair in the back and I wanted a jacket like his. Rivers also was innocent and became a werewolf under the hypnosis of an evil doctor.

Cool that we had the same last name.

When Tony transforms into a werewolf, his appearance changes gradually over the course of several scenes. At first, his face contorts into an animalistic snarl, with his eyes becoming more intense and his teeth appearing longer and sharper, his hands and feet elongate, and his fingers and toes become clawed.

I always wondered what happened to his shoes.

Finally, Tony's entire body begins to sprout hair, with fur covering his arms and legs, and his clothing tearing apart as he grows in size. His face becomes completely wolf-like, with a snout, pointed ears, and yellow eyes.

All the transformations seemed painless. The struggle was more external than internal.

The next great turn occurred in An American Werewolf in London (1981) - when another innocent tourist is attacked by a werewolf in the moors. David Kessler, played by David Naughton, painfully transforms into a werewolf, with his bones cracking and twisting, and his skin stretching and tearing.

This transformation is the most excruciating as David experiences intense pain and feeling as if his body is being torn limb from limb and his mind is ripped open with horrendous flashbacks while David's sense of aggression and hunger multiplies inexorably against his will while he is tormented by the ghost of his decomposing friend/victim even as Van Morrison plays Moondance in the background of a not glorious night.

Werewolf movies have disappeared of late and I miss them although they've already had their impact on my psyche and it remains true that more hospital visits take place when the moon is full.

Wolves themselves have gotten a bad name and have been hunted to near extinction.

They have been known to chew a leg off when the leg is ensnared in a wolf trap. Some wolves seem to take delight in shitting on a wolf trap when they detect one.

Is empathy an aptitude Empathy can be considered both a skill and a trait. As a skill, empathy refers to the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. This can be developed and improved through practice, such as active listening, perspective-taking, and emotional regulation.

As a trait, empathy refers to an individual's natural capacity to feel and respond to the emotions of others. Some people may have a greater inherent ability to empathize, while others may find it more challenging.

Therefore, empathy can be seen as both a skill that can be learned and improved, as well as a trait that varies among individuals. In this sense, it can be considered an aptitude, which refers to a natural or acquired ability to perform a particular skill or task.

onelinecross@yahoo.com Is maternal instinct an aptitude Maternal instinct refers to the natural tendency of female mammals to care for and protect their offspring. While it is often associated with motherhood, the concept of maternal instinct can also extend to other types of caregivers, such as fathers or adoptive parents.

Maternal instinct can be seen as a combination of innate biological factors and learned behaviors. From a biological perspective, hormones such as oxytocin and prolactin can influence maternal behavior. Additionally, certain regions of the brain, such as the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, are involved in processing social and emotional information related to parenting.

At the same time, the social and cultural environment can also influence maternal behavior. For example, the expectations and norms of a particular society may shape how women perceive their role as mothers and influence their parenting practices.

Therefore, while maternal instinct may have some innate components, it is also influenced by learned behaviors and cultural factors. In this sense, it may be more accurate to consider maternal instinct as a complex combination of biology, psychology, and cultural factors rather than a simple aptitude.

onelinecross@yahoo.com In the career exploration stage how do people make friends Making friends during the career exploration stage can be challenging, especially if you are in a new environment or have limited social connections. Here are some tips that may help:

Join professional or networking groups: Joining groups or clubs related to your career interests can be a great way to meet people who share your passions and career goals. Attend events, workshops, and seminars to connect with others in your field.

Volunteer: Volunteering can be a great way to meet new people while giving back to your community. Look for volunteer opportunities related to your career interests or in areas where you want to develop new skills.

Attend social events: Attend social events hosted by your employer or industry organizations. These events can provide an opportunity to connect with colleagues, industry experts, and other professionals in a more informal setting.

Use social media: Social media platforms such as LinkedIn can be an excellent tool for making professional connections. Reach out to people in your industry, engage with their content, and build relationships over time.

Take classes or courses: Taking classes or courses related to your career interests can be a great way to meet like-minded individuals. Look for courses at local universities, community colleges, or online learning platforms.

Remember that building friendships takes time and effort. Be open, friendly, and authentic in your interactions with others, and look for opportunities to support and help others in your network.

onelinecross@yahoo.com is friendliness an aptitude Friendliness is often considered a personality trait rather than an aptitude. Personality traits are enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that shape how individuals interact with the world around them. In the case of friendliness, it refers to the tendency to be warm, approachable, and welcoming towards others.

While personality traits are not typically considered aptitudes, they can be important in many areas of life, including social relationships, work, and overall well-being. Friendliness can be an important factor in building and maintaining social connections, as well as creating a positive and supportive work environment.

However, it is important to note that personality traits are not fixed and can be influenced by a range of factors, including life experiences, cultural background, and personal choices. While some people may have a natural inclination towards friendliness, it is also possible to develop and cultivate this trait through intentional practice and effort.

onelinecross@yahoo.com Describe the change when a person turns into a werewolf The transformation of a person into a werewolf is a fictional concept that varies in different stories and mythologies. However, in many depictions, the transformation is described as a painful and violent process, often associated with the full moon.

In some stories, the transformation is described as a physical change, with the person's body becoming covered in fur, their teeth becoming sharp and elongated, and their hands and feet transforming into claws. The person's bones may also change shape and grow, resulting in a larger and more muscular body.

The process of transformation is often described as excruciating, with the person experiencing intense pain and feeling as if their body is being torn apart. The transformation can last for several minutes or even hours, during which the person may lose consciousness or experience a heightened sense of aggression and hunger.

Once the transformation is complete, the person takes on the characteristics and behavior of a werewolf, which typically includes increased strength, speed, and senses, as well as a primal and animalistic mindset.

It's important to note that the concept of werewolves and their transformation is purely fictional and has no basis in reality.

onelinecross@yahoo.com desribe the appearance of Lon Chaney in the Wolfman Lon Chaney Jr. played the role of Lawrence Talbot, the titular character in the 1941 film "The Wolf Man." In the movie, his appearance as the Wolf Man is iconic and memorable.

When Talbot transforms into the Wolf Man, he appears as a humanoid creature with fur covering his body. He stands upright on two legs, but his posture is more hunched and animalistic than a human's. His arms are also covered in fur and end in clawed hands.

The Wolf Man's face is one of the most distinctive features of the character. He has a broad, wolf-like snout with sharp teeth and a fur-covered nose. His eyes are yellow and piercing, and his eyebrows are thick and furrowed. The Wolf Man's ears are pointed and slightly raised on top of his head, and his hair is shaggy and unkempt.

Overall, Lon Chaney Jr.'s portrayal of the Wolf Man is a classic interpretation of a werewolf, and his appearance has become an enduring image in popular culture.

onelinecross@yahoo.com Describe Michael Landon's werewolf transformation Michael Landon played the role of Tony Rivers in the 1957 film "I Was a Teenage Werewolf." In the movie, his transformation into a werewolf is notable for its relatively simple and low-budget special effects.

When Tony transforms into a werewolf, his appearance changes gradually over the course of several scenes. At first, his face contorts into an animalistic snarl, with his eyes becoming more intense and his teeth appearing longer and sharper. As the transformation continues, his hands and feet elongate, and his fingers and toes become clawed.

Finally, Tony's entire body begins to sprout hair, with fur covering his arms and legs, and his clothing tearing apart as he grows in size. His face becomes completely wolf-like, with a snout, pointed ears, and yellow eyes.

While the transformation effects in "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" may seem dated compared to modern horror films, they were groundbreaking at the time and set a standard for future werewolf movies. Michael Landon's performance as the conflicted Tony Rivers also helped to make the film a classic of the genre.

onelinecross@yahoo.com Most famous werewolf transformations Werewolf transformations have been a popular element of horror movies and television shows for decades. Here are some of the most famous werewolf transformations in pop culture:

An American Werewolf in London (1981) - The transformation scene in this film is considered a classic of the genre. David Kessler, played by David Naughton, painfully transforms into a werewolf, with his bones cracking and twisting, and his skin stretching and tearing.

Ginger Snaps (2000) - The transformation scene in this film is unique in that it portrays the transformation as a menstrual metaphor. The main character, Ginger, played by Katharine Isabelle, transforms into a werewolf during her first period, with her body contorting and changing as she screams in pain.

Teen Wolf (1985) - In this comedy-horror film, Michael J. Fox plays a high school student who discovers he is a werewolf. The transformation scene is played for laughs, with Fox's character undergoing a cheesy but memorable transformation as he dances to "Surfin' USA."

onelinecross@yahoo.com What is the effect of first love on career development First love can have both positive and negative effects on career development, depending on the individual and their circumstances.

On the positive side, first love can inspire a sense of confidence and self-assuredness, which can translate into greater focus and determination in pursuing career goals. The experience of falling in love and feeling emotionally connected to another person can also increase a person's capacity for empathy and communication, which are valuable skills in many professional settings.

However, first love can also be a source of distraction and emotional turbulence, which can potentially derail a person's career development. If the intensity of the relationship becomes all-consuming, it can lead to neglect of professional responsibilities or a loss of focus on career goals. Additionally, if the relationship ends badly or abruptly, it can lead to emotional distress or a sense of loss that can interfere with a person's ability to concentrate on their career.

Ultimately, the impact of first love on career development is highly individual and depends on many factors, such as the intensity and duration of the relationship, the individual's personality and coping skills, and the level of support and encouragement they receive from others.

onelinecross@yahoo.com How do we choose our friends in high school Choosing friends in high school can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as shared interests, social status, personality traits, and proximity.

Shared Interests: High school students often form friendships based on common interests, such as sports, music, clubs, or hobbies. Joining a group or club related to a particular interest can be a good way to meet others with similar passions and form friendships based on shared activities.

Social Status: Social status can also play a role in the formation of friendships in high school. Students may be drawn to those who have similar levels of popularity or influence within their peer group, or may seek out friendships with those who they perceive as being higher in the social hierarchy in order to increase their own status.

Personality Traits: High school students may also be attracted to those who share similar personality traits, such as humor, kindness, or intelligence. Personalities that complement each other can also lead to strong friendships.

Proximity: Students who spend a lot of time together, such as those who share classes or extracurricular activities, may naturally form friendships due to their close proximity to each other.

Ultimately, the factors that influence the formation of friendships in high school can vary widely from person to person, and are often shaped by a complex interplay of individual preferences, social dynamics, and external circumstances.

onelinecross@yahoo.com How important is the trait of empathy in making friends The trait of empathy can be very important in making and maintaining friendships. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, and it is an essential component of forming emotional connections with others.

Having empathy allows us to relate to our friends on a deeper level, to understand their experiences and perspectives, and to offer support and comfort when they need it. It can also help us to navigate conflicts or misunderstandings with our friends, by allowing us to see the situation from their point of view and find common ground.

In addition to fostering strong, meaningful friendships, empathy is also an important life skill that can benefit us in many other areas of life. For example, it can help us to be more effective communicators, better team players, and more compassionate and understanding members of our communities.

That said, while empathy can be an important trait in making and maintaining friendships, it is not the only factor that determines the success or longevity of a friendship. Other factors, such as shared interests, values, and experiences, as well as the ability to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts, also play a crucial role in building strong and lasting friendships.

onelinecross@yahoo.com what is an infeririority complex and how common An inferiority complex is a psychological condition characterized by a persistent feeling of inadequacy or low self-worth. It can stem from a variety of factors, such as past experiences of rejection or criticism, unrealistic expectations or standards, or a lack of confidence in one's abilities or appearance.

People with an inferiority complex may feel as though they are inferior to others in some way, and may have a strong desire to prove themselves or gain the approval of others. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, and social isolation.

While an inferiority complex can be a difficult and challenging condition to manage, it is relatively common and affects many people to varying degrees. It is often related to other mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression, and can be treated through a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, talk therapy, or medication.

It's important to note that feeling inferior or inadequate at times is a normal part of the human experience, and doesn't necessarily indicate the presence of an inferiority complex. However, if these feelings persist and interfere with a person's daily life or relationships, it may be helpful to seek the guidance of a mental health professional.

onelinecross@yahoo.com What are signs of sociopathy in childhood Sociopathy, also known as antisocial personality disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by a disregard for the feelings and rights of others, and a tendency towards impulsive and sometimes violent behavior. While it is not common for young children to be diagnosed with sociopathy, there are some signs that may indicate a predisposition towards this disorder.

Some signs of sociopathy in childhood may include:

Aggression and Violent Behavior: Children who are sociopathic may exhibit aggressive or violent behavior towards others, such as bullying, fighting, or causing harm to animals or other people.

Lack of Empathy: Children who are sociopathic may have difficulty understanding or empathizing with the emotions of others, and may not show remorse or guilt when they hurt or upset others.

Manipulative Behavior: Children who are sociopathic may use manipulation and deception to get what they want, and may be skilled at lying or charming others to get their way.

Lack of Social Conscience: Children who are sociopathic may not have a strong sense of right and wrong, and may not be concerned with following rules or obeying authority figures.

Early-Onset Behavioral Problems: Children who exhibit early-onset behavioral problems, such as delinquency, substance abuse, or impulsivity, may be at higher risk for developing sociopathic tendencies later in life.

It's important to note that exhibiting one or more of these signs does not necessarily mean that a child will go on to develop sociopathy, and many children who exhibit challenging behaviors can benefit from appropriate interventions and support. However, if you are concerned about a child's behavior, it may be helpful to consult with a mental health professional who can provide a comprehensive evaluation and recommend appropriate interventions.

onelinecross@yahoo.com what is meant by a nervous breakdown The term "nervous breakdown" is a colloquial term used to describe a range of mental health conditions in which a person experiences significant emotional distress or inability to function normally in their daily life. However, it is not a medical or clinical term, and is not a specific diagnosis recognized by mental health professionals.

The symptoms of a "nervous breakdown" can vary widely depending on the individual and the underlying causes of the distress. They may include symptoms such as:

Intense feelings of anxiety or panic Overwhelming feelings of sadness or despair Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities Difficulty concentrating or making decisions Fatigue or lack of energy Sleep disturbances Physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach problems, or muscle tension It's important to note that these symptoms can be indicative of a number of different mental health conditions, such as anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or bipolar disorder, and should be evaluated and treated by a mental health professional.

If you or someone you know is experiencing distress or difficulty functioning in daily life, it is important to seek professional help. A mental health professional can provide a comprehensive evaluation and recommend appropriate interventions, such as therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes, to help manage and alleviate symptoms.

onelinecross@yahoo.com what makes children popular in grade school In grade school, children often become popular for a variety of reasons, depending on the social dynamics of their peer group. Some common factors that may contribute to a child's popularity in grade school include:

Athletic or Academic Abilities: Children who excel in sports or academics may become popular due to their perceived talent or intelligence.

Attractive Appearance: Children who are considered physically attractive may become popular due to their appearance.

Social Skills: Children who have strong social skills, such as the ability to make friends easily, may become popular due to their ability to form and maintain social connections.

Leadership Qualities: Children who are perceived as leaders or influencers may become popular due to their ability to inspire and guide others.

Sense of Humor: Children who are funny or entertaining may become popular due to their ability to make others laugh or feel good.

It's important to note that popularity in grade school can be both positive and negative, and can have both short-term and long-term impacts on a child's social and emotional development. While it's natural for children to seek acceptance and social connection, it's also important to encourage children to develop a sense of self-worth and to value themselves for who they are, rather than solely for their popularity.

onelinecross@yahoo.com is an attractive appearance an aptitude or a trait An attractive appearance is not considered an aptitude or a trait, but rather a physical characteristic or feature of an individual. An aptitude refers to a natural ability or talent for a specific skill or task, while a trait refers to a stable and enduring characteristic or behavior pattern that is consistent across situations.

Attractiveness can be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, grooming habits, and personal style. While physical appearance is not directly related to an individual's abilities or personality traits, it can play a role in how others perceive and interact with them, and may affect certain social outcomes such as popularity or attractiveness to potential romantic partners. However, it is important to remember that beauty is subjective and varies across cultures and individuals, and that it is not the sole determinant of an individual's worth or success in life.

Thin lizzy cowboy song

From 1970 to 1983, they opened for and toured with dozens of bands including the Faces, Journey, Rainbow, David Bowe, Queen, Graham Parker, Blue Öyster Cult, Canned Heat, Uriah Heep, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Bob Seger. Cowboy Song is the story of Lynott, but also of the band, who would become Ireland’s first, great musical export. Through five years of research, Thomson not only culled past works, but interviewed all the studio personnel, every member of Thin Lizzy, and a rich set of people who were available to give perspective on every aspect of Lynott’s life in Ireland, England, and elsewhere. This is a fan’s biography - almost 400 pages of the best liner notes you’ve ever seen, but written objectively and with the highest level of journalistic integrity. Much has been written about Thin Lizzy and Lynott since his drug-related death in 1986, but as journalist Graeme Thomson puts it, “Very few artists, particularly those who never quite made it to the top of the ladder or, conversely, are not endowed with the enduring cool of cult status, have enjoyed such a potent afterlife.”Ĭowboy Song: The Authorized Biography of Thin Lizzy’s Philip Lynott is not, of course, the first biography of Thin Lizzy and/or Lynott, but like Thomson’s gorgeous 2010 work on Kate Bush ( Under the Ivy), it is profoundly well-researched. Over 30 years since Lynott’s demise, Thin Lizzy’s influence is felt all over music, and even by artists who don’t even realize they are wading in his shadow. But I am convinced that the most influential of the underrated artists is still Thin Lizzy, and their signature sound was from an unlikely instrument - their lead singer and bassist, Philip Lynott. Every discussion of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame omissions should reference artists like William Bell, Delaney and Bonnie, Harry Nilsson, the Cars, Badfinger, Warren Zevon, Iron Maiden, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. There are so many musical artists to whom we give the moniker “underrated”. And lastly, I loved the soundtrack to the 1999 film Detroit Rock City, which included an unlikely cover of “The Boys Are Back in Town” by Everclear, as well as Thin Lizzy’’s original version of “Jailbreak”. Then there was Metallica’s cover of “Whiskey in the Jar”, off 1998’s Garage, Inc., which I am sure was the gateway to Thin Lizzy for millions of other people too. I fell in love with their version and even after I heard the original, I still found myself going back to the Pumpkins’ treatment. Sometime around 1997, I heard the Smashing Pumpkins’ cover of Lizzy’s “Dancing in the Moonlight” as a B-side to “Disarm”. Like most Generation-X rockphiles who discovered the ‘70s while in college in the ‘90s, my first exposure to Thin Lizzy came by way of several awesome covers. I am convinced that the most influential of the underrated artists is still Thin Lizzy, and their signature sound was from an unlikely instrument - their lead singer and bassist, Philip Lynott.

(148/?) When the winter comes, keep the fires lit, and I will be right next to you.

TW: This concerns the tragic passing of a beloved actor. If that sorta thing doesn't jive with you, feel free to skip this entry. It's understandable.

---- Saw the news earlier today that voice actor Billy Kametz lost his battle against cancer and it fucking gutted me. Beyond enjoying his fantastic delivery in many projects, the impression I had from every friend/associate/acquaintance that got to work with him and told me about him is that dude was an pleasure to work + get along with. ---- And, like, people need to understand: Those people? You cherish those mo'fos in any work environment. Anybody who can bring that twinkle into your eye + make you bring your A game? Those are the sort of people you associate with, that you check up on and that you try to make sure are around to help you out. ---- Even if this all sounds really cold and detached, losing a good dude just like that doesn't fucking jive with anyone. I mean, 35-- Thirty-Five years of age. That's fucking young. That don't make no sense. But then I remember: It's chaos, be kind. Cherish those you have and are grateful for while they're still in this plane of existence. Life is short like that. ---- Vaya con dios, Billy. Cuídese mucho por favor.

Music Reviews: Pretenders Classics Expanded, Plus Dion, Carole King, James Taylor, and More • Americana Highways

Gestureland. David Duchovny’s bid for Renaissance-man status appears to be succeeding: an actor who has picked up Golden Globes for The X Files and Californication, he has also released several bestselling novels as well as three CDs. Gestureland, the latest of those, is a passionate rocker that should appeal to fans of artists like Warren Zevon. The songs are consistently catchy and sound better with every listen, thanks at least partly to Duchovny’s talented band members, who employ piano, synthesizers, glockenspiel, violin, viola, cello, percussion, and clarinet, as well as electric, bass, and acoustic guitar.

Among the best of an excellent bunch: the introspective “Chapter and Verse”; “Nights Are Harder These Days,” which features blistering electric guitar; and “Layin’ on the Tracks,” the first single, which appears to reference the Trump era with lines about how “the crowds will gather in the poison rain to hear what they want, scream and cheer for what was once insane.”

Deadpool 2(2018)

I don’t know if I’m going to an afterthought blog for this one.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think this is a bad movie. I think this accomplishes what all the best sequels do, which is to build on an existing property and add to the lore, as well as telling a new story. We liked the first one and asked for more(not like there was ever any doubt concerning a sequel), and we are given exactly that. Zazie Beetz gives an absolutely phenomenal performance as Domino and Josh Brolin turns in a very grizzled Josh Brolin performance as Cable. Still kinda wish they’d hired Kiera Knightley but whatever.

But I legitimately cannot ignore the fridging.

If you’ve never heard the phrase, “Women in Refrigerators,” I’ll try to give a brief overview. The term was coined by Gail Simone to draw attention to women who are killed or maimed in order to motivate the male character. It was cheap, lazy story telling twenty years ago and it’s lazy in this film too. There’s not even an attempt to parody or say something about the practice. They just...do it. And then use it as motivation for Wade’s character throughout the film. Vanessa wanted a kid, and then here is Wade (trying?) to counsel Russell. And that’s a charitable reading, she barely registers a mention after Colossus brings him to the mansion. Cable brings up his dead wife and daughter more often. Which, hey, more fridging so at least the movie is consistent.

Negasonic comes out in this movie. Brianna Hildebrand requested that the queer angle not “be a big deal,” and I think the movie succeeded there. A step toward normalizing queer relationships is not patting oneself on the back for merely acknowledging the idea that they exist. You know, like making a vague half-second reference to one in your three-hour movie, Disney. Or any of the other “We’re including a gay character” moments from Disney films. By my count, they’ve included a queer character for the first time roughly five separate times. Eventually, just admit you fucked up and try to do better instead of trying to rewrite history every six months.

It’s also amazing to me that, in a movie that murders several popular characters in a single sequence, Juggernaut still ends up being the most disapointing appearance. I want to say it’s better here than in Last Stand, but “Better Than Last Stand” is not an achievement. There’s probably liquor store surveillance footage that’s better than The Last Stand. Still, this is the second movie that seems to extremely undercut Juggernaut’s powers, and that’s a baffling decision because Juggernaut is a character tailor-made to be ridiculous. In a spin-off like this, that has branded itself as unafraid to boundaries, it’s very strange that this character is the one they chose to hold back on.

So that’s Deadpool 2 in a nutshell. Maybe it sounds like I’m dumping on one aspect of the movie, but it comes in hard at the beginning and the stink doesn’t go away. It clouds the whole movie, a noxious cloud of fumes that just doesn’t go away. And if it kind of sounds like I’m describing a fart, well, the description felt appropriate. I said at the beginning I might not write an afterthoughts blog on this movie. We’ll see what happens, but don’t be surprised if after the movie notes I just skip to Dark Phoenix. At least there I get to talk about Warren Zevon for a little.
