TS: It sounds like you take ownership of the past, and not just the good parts. PB: I do. Absolutely.

Retro Taylor Almost looks like the 1960s here.
Ariana Grande has announced that she is paying for the funerals of the victims of the Manchester attack, the manager of West Ham has found the two homeless men who helped dying victims and just offered them both six months’ all expenses paid accommodation and money to help them sort themselves out, the public has donated thousands of pounds for victims, families, emergency services, and heroic citizens. This is how we fight terrorism, not with hatred, not with arson attacks on mosques, but by standing strong, supporting strangers, pulling together and staying strong as a nation. That is why Britain is great. These are not the monsters that hid under your bed as a child, they are cowards driven to murder and suicide. They will not prevail.
The tragic event have bought a tear to many eyes including mine. But, Stephen Jones and Chris Parker were homeless before they were heroes; surely it doesn’t take being a hero for people to show them the respect they deserve. Remember, when you walk past the homeless just remember one day they might be your hero.
Let’s stand together.

‘Time may change me’
Changes The many faces of David Bowie.
I was asked to do that picture, but I was committed. I had too many things to do already, which was maybe too bad. Because of the nostalgia element, it might have been fun to return to the series. But I actually thought that I'd done enough of that—that was the past, just too many years had gone by and the theme wasn’t right anymore. Also, I didn’t think the movie was going anywhere at all. So they asked me who I would recommend. I’d recently heard an Eric Serra score, a synthesized score, but a very attractive score, and I suggested that maybe this might be a new way to go for the contemporary and image. When I finally saw the movie, nothing worked. I was confused. I truly don’t know what happened. It should have worked, I believed that the idea was a good new direction for Bond. But he didn’t do anything close to what I had heard in his earlier score, the score that prompted me to make my recommendation in the first place. He just went off on another tangent.
John Barry, on the Goldeneye score, from The Score: Interviews with Film Composers
In Memory Of Elvis Aaron Presley – Jan. 8, 1935 – Aug. 16, 1977.
I can’t explain it. I can’t explain what happens when the music starts. But I think you know. I think you know what it is to get all tied up in something, to get lost in it. That’s what singing and music does to me. It ties me up. It makes me forget everything else except the beat and the sound. It tells me more than anything else I’ve ever known, how good, how great it is just to be alive.
Elvis, in memoriam I still remember the day this made the news.
Stevie Nicks is ready Another Bob Jones who is in to fighting, though unlike the one here, this one supports women bashing a bloke back. And so much Avant Garde and Antique Olive.

It should be normal; hopefully it will be now Taylor’s finger’s on the pulse.
Happy Birthday, Dino! (June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995)
“Dean’s attitude was lackadaisical. He loved having people around- to a point. Then he wanted his privacy, his TV, his sleep, and he had some of the most blunt ways of getting rid of his guests. If it weren’t for his charm, he wouldn’t have a friend left! I still remember how horrified I was the first time he notified his guest, “I’m tired, folks. Why don’t you go home?” Another evening he loudly recalled Alexander Woolcott’s remark, “Guests are like fish. After a while they stink.” He went so far as to go to his room, change into his pajamas and come back to lie down in the middle of the living room floor.“ -Jeanne Martin
Dino Happy birthday, Dino.
Lorde and Kanye West arriving to Dior’s 2015/16 show
Going West Shows you how much I keep up with pop culture. When I saw the first pic, I was going, ‘Who is the American guy with Lorde?’

Listening to the recent Zane Lowe Kanye West interview, it struck me how Mr West’s thinking on creativity can be applied to the changing landscape of our own industry. Riffing off a few soundbites from the man himself, here’s some things creatives, and creative businesses, could learn from...
West side story I never expected to see wolffolinsblog quote Kanye West, but here it is—and it makes for a nice, quick read.

People love to forget Michael Jackson’s blackness

people love to think that Michael Jackson forgot his blackness
wow-suchbree-veryblog
People love to pretend to forget that Michael Jackson’s autopsy results showed that he DID have a skin disease and never “dyed” his skin.
People also love to revel in rumours and concentrate on the private life of celebrities instead of their actual message. Michael Jackson was a proud black man who spoke against racism, poverty, homelessness, the lack of education, hurting nature, war, and tabloid culture which distracts people from bigger issues. (Look up especially the second verse of Tabloid Junkie, it’s as relevant as the above gifs of They Don’t Care About Us.)
He not only spoke against these things but he did his everything to spread the message and constantly practiced what he preached and used his money to make a difference in people’s lives. Yet people choose to ignore that and use him as the butt of a joke.
Michael Interesting, we were just talking about this at the office on Monday.

Because y´all need a moonwalking animated Michael on your blog
Dude
Moonwalking Michael Simple, but very cleverly done.
Go for Gerard I wish I knew John Rowles sang the theme to Crossplot when I met him many years ago. He does a good job of it. I would certainly have brought it up!
