In the preceding hours, he was serenaded by such disparate musical figures as the Chicks, the Lumineers, Ziggy Marley, Miranda Lambert, Beck, Chris Stapleton, Tom Jones, Norah Jones, Bob Weir, Jack Johnson, Margo Price and the rare surviving figure that can still count as one of his actual contemporaries, Kris Kristofferson. Saturday’s show climaxed with Nelson emerging more than three hours into the 220-minute proceedings to join forces with George Strait, Neil Young and Snoop Dogg, symbolically representing how welcome Willie has been in the worlds of country, rock and cannabis, respectively. ![]() With roughly seven decades of songwriting and recording to commemorate, though, the party is stretching over two nights, bundled together and sold as a single ticket, where by the end of Sunday night everyone will have heard about 50 artists perform a total of about 75 songs. “Thanks for coming to my dad’s birthday party,” said Micah Nelson, a few songs into an all-star tribute to Willie Nelson at the Hollywood Bowl, attended by a sold-out house happy that Willie had found a way to schedule the 90th anniversary of his birth on a Saturday night. ![]()

![]() Maybe my appetite for eternity is less than it should be, but I am more at home with the ashes of Lent than with the perfect lilies of Easter-and never more so than after the year just past.Īlong with many other sacramentally minded Christians, I began the season of Lent almost 40 days ago with ashes on my head. The skies do not interest me nearly as much as the earth does, and soaring strikes me as a less worthwhile activity than, say, sharing the simplest meal among friends. Maybe I am simply too comfortable on the ground to sing such words with the gusto they deserve, but the truth is that the trajectory of my faith points down. As one verse by Charles Wesley has it, “Soar we now where Christ has led, following our exalted Head made like him, like him we rise, ours the cross, the grave, the skies.” During the great 50 days that follow, the trajectory of the Easter hymns will be up. The whole Christian year leans toward this Sunday of all Sundays, when God raised Jesus from the dead and made the whole creation new. Easter is almost here and I know I should be glad. ![]() ![]() It shows how rooted and deep the gender divide is that women would need a huge physical change in order to flip the tables. I found it interesting that Alderman chose a physical characteristic for women to develop in order to make them the more powerful sex. Would people really believe there was a time when women weren’t the powerful sex? Some of the gender and societal adjustments are small and happen slowly, while other s arrive suddenly and forcefully and I loved getting to see this unfold through the eyes of the characters. This is a book within a book – the author is sending a draft of the book to friends to learn what their perceptions are. The story follows the POV of a few young girls in this past who are coming into their own with their new supernatural powers, as well as a young man who follows and reports on the skein phenomenon happening across the globe. The shift in gender dynamics from men to women is instantaneous and brings up the age-old questions: what if women held the power? What if women, rather than men, were the strong, and more powerful sex? ![]() In The Power, women suddenly become genetically altered and develop a skein, which enables them to generate electricity. Rather than following the theme of women facing oppression (think women losing their voice in Voxand losing their freedom in The Handmaid’s Tale), the pattern is broken in Alderman’s novel by women gaining something instead. ![]() The Power by Naomi Alderman is a fresh take on a feminist focused plot line. ![]() ![]() ![]() Invest your savings and begin creating wealth.Declutter your life and live well for less.Save money through mindfulness and good habits, rather than strict budgeting.Whether you’re just beginning your financial life or heading towards retirement, this book will show you how to: Money Mustache is the ultimate makeover of this bestselling classic, ensuring that its time-tested wisdom applies to people of all ages and covers modern topics like investing in index funds, managing revenue streams like side hustles and freelancing, tracking your finances online, and having difficult conversations about money.

In the DVD version, they play more clips from the reel-to-reel, and it ends with this poignant image of the tape ending and spinning endlessly on the tape player, about 30 minutes in (which is not in the version) In the version, this clip is abbreviated (around 28 minutes into the episode). There's the segment of the early demos on the reel-to-reel tape (the B&W sequence with guitars perched against chairs). They describe the same information but they are definitely different video clips, based on what they are wearing and their settings. Paul and George rerecorded their interview/discussions of the Manchester "applause" audition, when John didn't have a guitar on the way there but someone at the audition "was relieved of their guitar" at the end of it (this is about 26 minutes or so into the DVD episode). I realized this while watching episode 1, and noted some slight variations between the and DVD. If I may disagree, the streaming version is slightly different than the DVD version. ![]() ![]() Can he protect a woman whose guard is even higher than his own, or will she end up saving him from himself?Īs the tension and chemistry heat up between the two, they’ll discover that life isn’t always black and white.īrittney Sahin began writing at an early age, with the dream to be a published author before the age of 18.
