...need a bit of extra inspiration to get you to the polls, think of George W. Bush and Al Gore, who've spent the last few days running themselves into the campaign trail. Monday, both candidates traveled thousands of miles, kissed countless babies and stumped until their throats were raw. The strain was showing on both men; at a Sunday rally in Dearborn, Mich., Gore twice called Bruce Hornsby, the evening's entertainment, Rogers Hornsby, who as we all know was in fact the Rajah, the fabulous (and deceased) second baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals during the '20s. Meanwhile...
...defining moment when she simultaneously endeared herself to rock writers and set off art-house panic alarms in the average listener. That moment was the opening line of her 1993 track Reeling: "I want to bathe in milk/ eat grapes," she raged. "Robert De Niro/ sit on my face." Raw, dark, witty and extremely sexual, Harvey had critics panting, and it's no wonder. But people who actually pay for records stared at the frequently naked form on her album covers; heard the heart-laid-bare, avant-garde songs about frustration and denial; and ran into the welcoming arms...
...agreement here? The '50s were the decade of crucial change in American popular culture. Rock 'n' roll, lurid comic books, the Beats, Brando, teenage-werewolf movies and the mainstreaming of black performers signaled a transformation from old to young, smooth to raw, upper-class to underclass. But there was another '50s culture that ran parallel to this one, sometimes interacting with it but often commenting skeptically on it. One culture was hot and angry, the other cool and comic. One was the geyser, exploding with sexuality; the other the mainstream, flowing unroiled. One was radical, the other liberal...
First some background. Omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of compounds known loosely as polyunsaturated fats. (Omega-6 fatty acids make up the other major type of polyunsaturated fats. More on that later.) These fats serve as the raw material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules that regulate inflammation, blood pressure and blood clotting. Since our bodies cannot manufacture their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly from fish but also from such plant sources as flax, soybeans and walnuts...
Gimme Shelter has a lot to offer the viewer: in addition to the incredible footage of Altamont and the infamous-almost unbearably brutal-stabbing caught on film, there's great concert footage from the tour: the Stones are at their raw and gritty peak and Mick Jagger gives a clinic in stage dominance. There's even prophetic footage of Tina Turner singing a duet with Ike Turner, their voices spasmodically oscillating between pure sexuality and brutal violence. We see great backstage footage and intimate shots of the Stones in the studio recording Sticky Fingers. We see the machinations...
