David Bowie Exhibition--Just One More Reason To Go To London
copied from the Hollywood Reporter.........
David Bowie Museum Exhibition to Be Shown Live in U.K. Movie Theaters
Jimmy King
A one-night-only closing show for "David Bowie is Happening Now" at London's V&A Museum will be screened live at Picturehouse Cinemas around Britain.
LONDON – The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has inked a deal with Picturehouse Entertainment, the distribution arm of exhibitor Picturehouse Cinemas, to bring the museum's wildly popular exhibition "David Bowie Is Happening Now" to movie screens across the U.K.
OUR EDITOR RECOMMENDS
The "live cinema event" on Aug. 13 coincides with the conclusion of the famous British capital museum's show, which collects items and memorabilia from the musical innovator and cultural icon's life and work.
The movie theater event will give audiences across the U.K. an opportunity to join the museum for a live event as the finale to the exhibition. The live show will be introduced and hosted by exhibition curators Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marshand will feature unnanmed special guests offering insight into the stories behind some of the 300 objects on display from the David Bowie Archive. The curators and guests will offer a cinematic guided tour of sorts of the exhibition and bring additional history and anecdotes to the objects on display. It's understood that Bowie himself won't be part of the show.
The show will be directed by BAFTA winning director Hamish Hamilton and produced by Done & Dusted Productions. Hamilton's numerous event credits include the live TV coverage of the opening and closing ceremonies at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
It will be the last opportunity to experience the exhibition in the U.K. before it goes on international tour in Jan. 2014, starting at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada followed by the Museum of Image and Sound, Sao Paulo.
The V&A’s Bowie exhibition sold more than 67,000 advance tickets, beating pre-sales records for any other exhibition in the museum's 150-year history. It has already been seen by nearly 200,000 visitors.
V&A director Martin Roth said: "This is the first time the V&A has taken part in a live broadcast event of this magnitude and we are extremely excited to be working with such a talented production team to present the phenomenon that is David Bowie to the widest possible audience."
The event will be distributed to cinemas by Picturehouse and shown Aug. 13 in over 200 cinemas across the U.K.
The plans are supported by the David Bowie Archive.

If you are in London..........the cafe at the V and A is not only a visual gift but the food is delicious and reasonable. They have all of the traditional English food, the scones and tea cakes are a definite stop....it is presented beautifully.
I love the V and A...it is interesting....it is free......it's easy to get there....it is huge.....a lovely place to sit down and spend the day.
Certain areas, for instance, the David Bowie are a separate price.......I wanted to see it but it was way too crowded, but you can make reservations, however, we were scheduled to leave....I still had a wonderful time just walking around and enjoying the place........cl

SUZE ORMAN AND HER STUPID BLUE JACKET
Suze Orman And Her Stupid Jacket.......
Lady, you're out of line and out of touch......if your financial sense is anything like your fashion sense I think you've got some work to do.
Lady, you're out of line and out of touch......if your financial sense is anything like your fashion sense I think you've got some work to do.
Is that jacket a need or a want?
my love hate relationship with suze orman.......
heck, I wish I was suzy orman...minus that jacket
The jacket is stunning but stupid....appearing on CBS Sunday Morning today in a ridiculous blinding bright blue leather jacket, in the middle of summer; and expecting me to listen to her pound on about using good judgement....cute but ridiculous.
You’re not going to talk to me about spending my money with that jacket on.....carefully watching every cent....Do I really need it, or do I just "want" it.....can I actually afford it?
No one in the world “needs” that jacket.
How dare Suze Orman go on television and shout at me about what to spend, where and when--need versus want--and stand there in that stupid blue jacket.
Suze--did you really need a bright blue jacket?
is that practical?
How many outfits can you wear that thing with--are all of your outfits neutral and that is your only color--blinding bright blue?
I don’t care how rich and successful you are.....you are out of line.
And don't try to tell me you can afford it because you cannot expect anyone to take you seriously on any subject, particularly money, while you're ranting on about need versus want in iridescent blue motorcycle regalia during a heat wave.
It just doesn't work for me--it's a fashion and financial faux pas.
And don't try to tell me you can afford it because you cannot expect anyone to take you seriously on any subject, particularly money, while you're ranting on about need versus want in iridescent blue motorcycle regalia during a heat wave.
It just doesn't work for me--it's a fashion and financial faux pas.
Besides all of that--I don’t want to hear Suze spout off again about holding her spending and holding her dollars until she can get some input from single moms--you get some info out there about the cost of cheer leading, lady, and then you can talk.
Yes, I do admire suze--she is far more successful than I am--well, anybody is....but please, you are way out of touch.
Yes, your idea is basically good, but to quote you, you are not practical--that holier than thou theory just does not work with kids, being tired, stupid ex-husbands and always being overworked...exhausted and angry...and pissed off at the facility. Oh right, and not to mention the other kids with their big ideas....and don’t forget cooking a healthy meal...sitting down to dinner together without television and other fantasies.
Oh, I wish I could be as smart and full of good judgement as suze....
No, I am not talking about the gay or straight thing...
I’m talking about time and being tired and trying to make the right decision about raising children, working, biding your time......and making good financial decisions.
Lady--get some more info--from real people--take that f+++ing jacket off, you don’t need, and then you can talk.
from the 100 dollar old school oak writing desk of chloe louise...I don’t really need this big desk but I do like it.
talking about suze and her latest rant on cbs sunday morning......
(my rant back...oh, mom, are you on one of your rants again......)
I guess she forgot about her “one pair of gold earrings she’s had for 20 years” when she bought that jacket. She could have bought more earrings--oh, I certainly could afford them, but I just don't need them so I keep wearing the same pair. Perhaps a style consultant would have been a frugal investment?

Self-righteousness (also called sanctimoniousness, sententiousness, and holier-than-thou attitudes[1]) is a feeling or display of (usually smug) moral superiority[2] derived from a sense that one's beliefs, actions, or affiliations are of greater virtue than those of the average person......from wiki...cl

Henry Winkler to CNN's George Strombo: I Really Don't Care For My Parents
If Fonzie can say it I can say it, too.
Henry Winkler Talks Parenting on George Strombo's New CNN Show
TV Friday: CNN raises the curtain on Strombo’s new show — again
Stroumboulopoulos promises lively, smart talk on host's own terms
On his CNN show, George Stroumboulopoulos decides whom he talks to, for how long, and what they can talk about.PHOTO: CBC
Henry Winkler on the new show of CNN.......I'm just calling it the George Strombo show......
Well, it was real good and Henry Winkler was particularly good, interesting and informative. He does not really care for his parents. While this news may hurt some people's feelings it was music to my ears.
Right, to me, enough people do not talk about this kind of thing....
You are a kid, you know something is wrong, you have food and some clothes, but life is so confusing you can't get on with it.....
That's right, you're stifled, stopped, what's going on, I can't stand it.....it leads to a life of total confusion...do you know how many people told me, when I was a kid.....you need to have more self-confidence? After a while I just said yes; really, I had no clue what they were talking about, I finally started agreeing to get on with it and get away from the stupid adult without arguing and getting in trouble....
You can't say you do not like your parents to most people.........
It's against the Bible....
I finally learned that. I kept trying to talk about it and no one wanted to listen. Because most people do love their parents even though they may have made a few mistakes. They think you are unnatural, an oddity, mentally ill.....but in my case it didn't help that mother kept going behind my back and telling everyone I was mentally ill...mentally ill and dirty.
I'm embarrassed to write this...
Enough about me, but thank you to Henry Winkler and George.
Good job to George, Henry and CNN.
here is some more things about Henry and I copied it from Imdb...
I love being a parent. (April 2007)
There is a gigantic learning curve for parents, knowing when to shut up. My son Max says to me, "Every time you talk to my friends, there has to be a life lesson. Can't you just say hello?"
I was 31 when I realised I wasn't stupid. Dyslexia was diagnosed in me, along with my stepson Jed and, as it turns out, in all our children. They've had the same confidence issues I had. You can't protect them from that, but what you can do is tell them they're fantastic 15 times a day.
American movies have destroyed people's ability to relate. If a guy puts his head on your stomach, soon enough that head will feel so heavy, it hurts. The reality is that relationships are hard work with tremendous highs and desperate lows, incredible battles and moments of wonder and admiration. You have to take the whole package.
I've been married to Stacey Winkler for 30 years. The key to an enduring relationship is in the ear, not the heart or mind. How you think or feel about what you are saying is not what is important. What matters is how they hear it. After 30 years, there is only one reason to stay together - because you really want to.
The Fonz was the Yin to my Yang. He was everything I wanted to be because there was nothing cool about me growing up. I became good looking when I was 28, when Happy Days started. Suddenly girls were knocking on my hotel door. Being chased was wonderful with a capital W. Holy mackerel, yes! I was happy to take advantage of that for a couple of years.
I could never hang on to girlfriends. I was funny, but too intense. I wrote one girl 150 love letters, all of them misspelt, and waited like a puppy outside her classroom door. Turned out she was seeing someone else all along.
I learnt to have a sense of humour. As an undiagnosed dyslexic, you spend a third of your time trying to figure out what's wrong with you, a third of your time trying to figure out why you can't figure it out and the final third trying to cover up the shame and humiliation.
I vowed two things as a boy. The first was that I would be an actor, the second that I would never be like my parents. My father spoke 11 languages, my mother had no problem spelling. Their nickname for me was dummer hund - dumb dog, said often enough for it not to be funny. The idea that a child should be seen and not heard is arcane and barbaric.
My one word with which to live life would have to be tenacity. My parents were Jews who fled Nazi Germany in 1939. I learnt tenacity from them when what I needed was their pride.
here is a link to that page on Imdb:
George Stroumboulopoulos goes fearlessly — again — where many have gone before, but few have succeeded. Friday marks the official debut of Strombo’s new CNN interview programStroumboulopoulos, following a sneak preview last weekend. The preview did not reel in as many viewers as CNN and Strombo would have liked, but Friday is its regular day and time, and it’s on Fridays numbers the show will be judged.
Stroumboulopoulos follows in the trail of other talk shows, including a short-lived weekend program hosted by standup comedian and occasional political commentator D.L. Hughley, that landed a spot on CNN’s prime-time schedule but didn’t stay the course.
Stroumboulopoulos is part summer replacement program and part summer job for Strombo, who told a Toronto sports-radio station last week that he’ll resume his duties with CBC at the summer’s end. CBC’s George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight isn’t going away any time soon, in other words. It’s simply taking a summer break.

talking about good moms........
Of course, I am writing this while I'm watching my favorite CNN show of all time, Fred Whitfield and her legal boys, Richard and Avery....do you see how Fred treats those boys....
She makes them feel like a million dollars and they feel so happy and accomplished...they are ready to go out and face the world with confidence...
Good job Fred...you're a good mom.

Some people, at a certain time and place in their life--they are the art--defining a particular fashion period, generation and style--the mood and attitude of the generation. Who would you put in that category...... I'm saying Audrey Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger, David Bowie...
Doc Jazz: a Palestinian Surgeon’s Musical Intifada

Doc Jazz: a Palestinian Surgeon’s Musical Intifada
Apr 1 2013 / 6:44 pm
By Sahar Mansour
Times change, situations change, people change. This is how the world has always been, and this can definitely be said about these turbulent first decades of this 21st century. For this reason, it’s nice to know that there are also things and people that seem to be weathering these changes, and stubbornly remain there as constant and dependable factors.
In the limited world of music for the Palestinian cause, the phenomenon known as ‘Doc Jazz‘ can certainly be counted as one of these dependable factors. Almost since the very beginning of internet activism, he has been present and active, which is why to most people who are interested in the Palestinian cause, he would barely be in need of any introduction. He is the Palestinian surgeon who, next to his ongoing career as a surgeon, has been engaging in activism on and off the internet, with his music, his writings, his organizing skills at demonstrations and inspiring speeches, and his unstoppable energy.
These aspects of Tariq Shadid have indeed remained unchanged, but be careful not to mistake this constancy for lack of evolution and development. Those who remember him from his first songs for the Palestinian cause and have not checked back since, will probably be unaware how the quality of his musical recordings has been evolving constantly, now resulting in high-fidelity songs of a high quality, and with rich arrangements. His musical repertoire – at least those songs of his that are available online – has now reached 100 songs, most of which deal with almost all aspects of the Palestinian cause. There is barely an aspect of the struggle that is not represented in one of his songs. Best of all is: he does the entire production by himself, writes the songs and the lyrics, plays all the instruments, and does all the vocals.
His most recent album is ‘Intifada’, which was released in November 2012, and which features a selection of his most popular Palestine-songs, like Intifada, Right of Return, We Resist (Free Palestine) and Freedom Flotilla, as well as two of his Arabic songs for the cause. In the beginning of this year, he also came out with the song ‘Hungry’, dedicated to the cause of Samer Issawi and the other Palestinian political prisoners who protest against their detention by their unimaginably long hunger strikes. The song was well-received, and was featured on Dubai TV in a special about the Palestinian hunger strikers.
He has also recently joined the Free Samer Issawi Campaign, and has contributed to keeping the ongoing Twitter campaigns for that cause alive. Every day, at the same time, so-called ‘Twitterstorms’ are organized, which are joined by hundreds of dedicated tweeters, and rarely fail to get the daily hashtag to trend on the Worldwide list. On his website, all these world trending hashtags are collected, together with information on how to contribute to trending on Twitter effectively.
Another aspect that underlines the continuous evolution and expansion of his musical and activist project, the ‘Musical Intifada’, is his impressive following on Facebook. His Doc Jazz fan page there now boasts an impressive 31,000 members, a sign that his work is steadily increasing in scope and exposure. Having a quick and superficial listen to his music may not immediately explain why, and the reason for that is its almost incredible variety of musical styles. If you have listened to one of Doc Jazz’s songs, don’t assume that you already know the drill. The sound and style is not exactly what you will find in the entertainment world’s Top 40, so if that is what you are looking for, you may end up with a prejudiced judgment. This is a more sophisticated type of music that requires you to take time and really listen, but if you do, you are very likely to be captivated. You will encounter hip-hop, rock, funky jazz-pop, piano ballads, Palestinian folkloric music and modern Arabic music, and this description still doesn’t cover everything you can find in his impressive repertoire.
What perhaps best illustrates this, is the statement of recognition that was recently presented to Doc Jazz by the Edward Said National Conservatory in Palestine, for publication on his website. It reads:
“The Edward Said National Conservatory recognizes the musical work of Dr. Tariq Shadid, who goes by the name of Doc Jazz, as an important contribution to Palestinian music. We are impressed by the magnitude of his oeuvre and the richness of his compositions, wherein he manages to combine a wide variety of musical styles with a message that expresses the hopes and aspirations of our people. We appreciate the fact that he embraces modern musical trends just as much as his efforts to conserve the folkloric traditions of Palestinian music. We believe that his work can serve as an inspiration to aspiring young Palestinian musicians to develop their own efforts at musical composition and creativity.”
Indeed, that sums it up quite beautifully. Imagine if this was all we had to say about Dr. Tariq Shadid, wouldn’t that already be quite something? Well, to be truthful, it doesn’t end here.
Tariq Shadid has been writing for the Palestine Chronicle for well over a decade, and many of his writings can be found there, as well as on his website. A selection of his writings from before 2007 has also been published into a paperback called ‘Understanding Palestine’, which is available on Amazon. His articles mostly have one thing in common: they call for Palestinian self-determination, and they mobilize against normalization, and against racism. This is probably why his pieces are read and shared so widely: even though they may refer to current events happening at the time they were written, they are almost invariably characterized by timelessness, and contain truths that are applicable to the entire history of the Palestinian struggle.
Besides being an excellent musician and writer, this incredible allrounder also has a very artistic hand at drawing and painting. He painted the cover of his album ‘Front Door Key’, of a small Palestinian girl holding a key that symbolizes the return of Palestinian refugees to their homes, and recently drew a portrait of Samer Issawi that can now be found on websites and social media all over the world.
It’s hard to imagine that someone who is not only a full-time surgeon, but even the Head of Department of Surgery at his hospital, is able to do all these things and excel at all of them. However, if you realize that he is a Palestinian, you will undoubtedly conclude that it is that legendary Palestinian drive and dedication that forms this basis of excellence. Those who are willing to look around, will never fail to see the amazing talents that the Palestinian people – both inside of Palestine and in the diaspora – are able to present to the world.
No one lives forever, but it has become obvious that as long as Tariq Shadid can breathe, sing, write and operate, he will not change who he is, and what he stands for. In this ever-changing and evolving world, this one-man production machine of Palestinian activism will remain a force to be reckoned with. The world emphasizes and celebrates the talents of Jews – even when it comes to the Palestinian cause, as if there aren’t any Palestinians available to represent themselves – but this is only because they are not willing to see the amazingly talented icons of the Palestinian people. They are there, they are impressive, and they will be seen and overwhelm the world.

Rolling Stones give Toronto a surprise by performing 'Worried About You'...
Rolling Stones give Toronto a surprise by performing 'Worried About You'
At the June 6 concert in Toronto, the Rolling Stones skipped performing "Happy," which has guitarist Richards on lead vocals. "Happy" has been a mainstay at most Rolling Stones concerts since the song came out in 1972. The Stones skipped playing the song at their Chicago concert on May 28, 2013, their Los Angeles concert on May 20, 2013 and their Chicago concert on June 3, 2013. Richards has been singing "You Got the Silver" at concerts where "Happy" is not part of the set list. In addition to "Happy," the other song that Richards has been consistently singing lead vocals on for the 2013 tour is "Before They Make Me Run."
As of May 8, 2013, select concerts on the tour will feature a song performed by request from fans who voted online via the official Rolling Stones mobile app. For each concert, fans will be given a choice of five different songs to vote for, and the Rolling Stones will perform the song that gets the most votes for that concert. The Rolling Stones also did this for their "50 and Counting" concerts in 2012. At the concert on June 6, 2103, the song performed by request was "Worried About You."
