Working-class waitress Slim thought she was entering a life of domestic bliss when she married Mitch, the man of her dreams. After the arrival of their first child, her picture perfect life is shattered when she discovers Mitch’s hidden possessive dark side, a controlling and abusive alter ego that can turn trust, love and tranquility into terror. Terrified for her child’s safety, Slim flees with her daughter. Relentless in his pursuit and enlisting the aid of lethal henchmen, Mitch continually stalks the prey that was once his family.

Carrie L. Tolstedt Agrees to Settle with the SEC

Former Wells Fargo Senior Executive Carrie Tolstedt Agrees to Settle SEC Fraud Charges for Misleading Investors About Abusive Sales Practices to Inflate a Key Performance Metric Washington, DC (STL.News) The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced its settlement with the former head of Wells Fargo & Co.’s Community Bank, Carrie L. Tolstedt, in which she has agreed to pay a $3 million penalty stemming from charges brought in 2020 for her role in allegedly misleading investors about the success of the Community Bank, Wells Fargo’s core business.  The SEC previously settled related charges against Wells Fargo and its former CEO and Chairman, John Stumpf. According to the SEC’s complaint against Tolstedt, from mid-2014 through mid-2016, Tolstedt publicly described and endorsed Wells Fargo’s “cross-sell metric” as a means of measuring Wells Fargo’s financial success despite the fact that this metric was inflated by accounts and services that were unused, unneeded, or unauthorized.  The complaint further alleges that Tolstedt knew the cross-sell metric did not accurately track accounts or products that customers needed or used, since she was aware of misconduct at the Community Bank that led to bankers pushing products on customers that they did not need or want, including the unauthorized opening of accounts.  The complaint alleges that Tolstedt made misleading public statements to investors at Wells Fargo’s investor conferences in 2014 and 201, and signed misleading sub-certifications as to the accuracy of Wells Fargo’s public disclosures when she knew or was reckless in not knowing that statements in those disclosures regarding Wells Fargo’s cross-sell metric were materially false and misleading. “Companies do not act on their own.  Where the facts warrant it, we will hold senior executives accountable for conduct that violates the securities laws,” said Monique C. Winkler, Regional Director of the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office. Tolstedt, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, agreed to a final judgment permanently enjoining her from violating or aiding and abetting violations of the antifraud and other provisions of the federal securities laws and imposing a permanent officer-and-director bar.  In addition to the $3 million civil penalty, Tolstedt agreed to pay a disgorgement of $1,459,076 plus prejudgment interest of $447,874.  The SEC will combine this money with $500 million paid by Wells Fargo and the $2.5 million penalty paid by Stumpf in previous settlements and distribute the sum to harmed investors.  The settlement is subject to court approval. The SEC’s complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.  The litigation was conducted by Susan LaMarca, Erin Wilk, Victor Hong, John Roscigno, and Horace Austin of the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office.  The case was supervised by Jason H. Lee and Ms. Winkler. SOURCE: Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Read the full article

2017: The Year of the Concert

4 years ago I deemed 2013 as the Year of the Concert. I had gone to 6 shows that year and they were some of the best I had seen in a long time. It was the first year that I really started going to concerts again regularly. Little did I know that all 2013 was, was the spark that re-ignited my love for the live show.  

Numerous shows later and a huge realization that 3 hours isn’t that far to drive and well, 2017 blew 2013 out of the water. It has the new crown of The Year of the Concert. 13 distinct shows in 2017 made it the most memorable concert year of my entire life. Here’s a rundown of this year’s shows. (Some of them I’ve already written extensively about, and it’ll make sese when you get to those.)  

Ben Folds - 3/2/2017 -  L'Auberge Casino & Hotel Baton Rouge, LA

I’ve been a casual fan of Folds for 20 years and I knew he was known for having great live shows. This was just him and a piano and it was stellar. He had charming stories between songs, and despite being the only person on stage his sound was huge. Even if you’re not familiar with his work I would suggest you check him out. I would dive into this show more, but you’ll see that I’ve got much more Ben Folds talk later.  

Better Than Ezra - 4/28/2017 - BankPlus Amphitheater  Southaven, MS

Here’s my write up on the BTE show.  

Highly Suspect - 5/10/2017 -  Saturn Birmingham, AL

Here’s my write-up on the Highly Suspect show.

Incubus w/Jimmy Eat World and Judah and the Lion - 8/2/2017 - Champion’s Square New Orleans, LA

Here’s my write-up on the Incubus show.

John Mayer w/The Night Game - 8/9/2017 - Smoothie King Center New Orleans, LA

Here’s my write-up on the John Mayer show. 

Green Day w/Catfish and the Bottlemen - 9/6/2017 - The Wharf Amphitheater Orange Beach, AL

Here’s my write up on the Green Day show.

Austin John Winkler w/Smile Empty Soul - 9/30/2017 - The Hideaway Jackson, MS

As the year came to a close and we were going to so many shows it was hard to keep up with my blog posts about them. September saw a local show happen at The Hideaway. “Austin John” is best known as the former singer of Hinder.  Having never been a huge fan of Hinder I was more interested in the opener, Smile Empty Soul.  

Ultimately they put on two VERY different rock shows. Winkler’s was highlighted by super-catchy sing-songy numbers, and Smile’s set was an old-school styled Grunge show. Neither was very flashy, then again it was a show at the Hideaway, the spectacle can only be so big.  

The result was me realizing that I actually like Hinder more than I thought I did, despite Winkler’s lazy attempt at a Scott Weiland style glam look. I was impressed that Smile Empty Soul can still tour the country and make a living making C-tier rock music. Also, the band Winkler hired as his backing band, Autumn Rove, is pretty cool.  

Paramore - 10/2/2017 - Fox Theatre Atlanta, GA

The Paramore show was cool. I’ve been a fan for about 10 years and seeing Williams’ growth over that time is inspiring. I gushed earlier in the year about how much I liked their latest album, After Laughter. The new album was prominently featured at the show and as always they sounded great.  

The show worked for me because I’m a huge fan. However, I’m sure casuals that are/were only familiar with their more popular early work (Riot and Brand New Eyes) didn’t get the same warm feeling I did. They noticeably left out popular tracks like “Decode”, “Crushcrushcrush”, “Hallelujah”, and “The Only Exception”.  

The oddest part of the whole show was the distinctive exclusion of any big hits during the encore. The encore is typically where you stick your crowd-pleasers to bring the show home, but this show had two album tracks and a HalfNoise song as the encore. I’m not complaining...it was just odd. This wasn’t my first time seeing Paramore and if I have any say in the matter it will not be my last.  

Plain White T’s - 10/11/2017 - MS State Fair Jackson, MS

“Free” State Fair shows are always hit or miss, some years you get good shows, some years it's not even worth the $5 ticket to the fair. The Plain White T’s was one of the good ones great ones. I saw them about 10 years ago at Memphis in May, at the height of their popularity. “Hey There Delilah” was charting and they were the “up and coming” emo band of the moment. My interest in them wained over the years and I had to do some catching up before this show to re-acquaint myself with the T’s.

By doing this, I found their absolutely fantastic 2015 album American Nights. Suddenly my interest in the band skyrocketed and this was all before the show even started. The concert itself was probably the most vanilla show I saw all year. That’s not a knock on it, it's just how I would describe the 2017 Plain White T’s. They’ve moved on from their vaguely emo roots and now they make super solid heartland-influenced power pop.  

Somehow they’ve managed to lose their relevance and become a better band.  Without a doubt, they were the best sounding band I saw all year. Their harmonies were on point, the sound quality was impeccable and unlike most concerts, every word could be heard.  Trust me when I say, THAT NEVER HAPPENS! I came out of that show a bigger fan than I was going in.  

Breaking Benjamin - 10/12/2017 - City Hall Live Brandon, MS

Without a doubt, the weirdest show of the year goes to Breaking Benjamin. It was in my hometown’s old city hall building, which itself is an old grocery store. There was no opening act, they were selling signed setlists of the show, and for seemingly no reason, it was acoustic.  

I’ve seen Breaking Benjamin no less than 5 times...possibly more and this was the worst one. Its hard to say it was bad, it was just weird. The setlist was as close to perfect as they were going to get it, and it was great hearing their newer stuff, but the whole show was performed as if the guitars were electric. Also, the lighting guys at the show consistently failed to put the spotlight on singer Ben Burnley..and it became noticeable. (see pic above)  

Traditionally, acoustic shows are stripped down, intimate affairs that have sort of a storytellers vibe. This was a full-on rock show, big drums, loud guitars, screamed vocals and all, but the guitars didn’t have the same punch. It almost felt like the band didn’t understand what makes acoustic shows special and were just using acoustic guitars to check a box.  

The good news is that Ben Burnley has grown into a quite the showman. When I first saw them in 2002, he was a tight-lipped nervous face that hid behind his loud music. He didn’t have any crowd interaction and didn’t seem comfortable on stage. At the Brandon show, he was telling stories and jokes, and clearly having a great time. I’m curious to see them again in a non-acoustic setting. I’m sure its a much better show.  

Ben Folds - 11/7/2017 - Jackson Prep Fortenberry Theatre Flowood, MS

Never in a million years would I have guessed that I would see Ben Folds twice in one year. Never would I have thought it would be necessary. After seeing the standard Folds show in Baton Rouge, I was shocked to see the announcement of an in-town “Paper Airplane Request Tour” date at Jackson Prep, of all places. Nothing about the announcement made sense to me.

Why is he playing the Jackson area? Why is he playing a high school auditorium? Why was I so excited to see the Paper Airplane aspect of the show? I had to go! He played 20 songs, the first 10 were pre-planned and served as the first “set”. After a short intermission, the crowd, who had been given blank sheets of paper, got to throw their requests on-stage as paper airplanes. Ben then came out and picked 10 random airplanes and played whatever was written on them. It was FASCINATING!

Just the thought that Ben Folds is talented enough to pull songs out of his brain at the drop of a...um...paper airplane, was mindblowing. Seeing him pick up the planes and giggle to himself knowing he was about to belt out an impromptu show-stopper was one of the most unique concert experiences I’ve ever had.  

The Maine - 11/17/2017 - House of Blues New Orleans, LA

My interest in The Maine has grown slowly over the past 10 years, it peaking with their 2 most recent albums, American Candy and Lovely Little Lonely. When they announced a NOLA show where they would only be playing those two albums, the ticket purchase was really a no-brainer. 

I had never been to an album themed show. The idea of being upfront with fans and saying “Here’s what we’re going to play, if you don’t like it, don’t buy a ticket,” seemed like a bold move. After seeing the resulting show, the move seemed even bolder than I imagined. 

The Maine came out and played Lovely Little Lonely, start to finish, track for track, interludes included. They left the stage, returned 15 minutes later and did the same for American Candy. Both of those albums are solid pop-punk art-pieces. Playing them in their entirety is more reverence than I can imagine anyone else giving them. Not that they don’t deserve it, the practice just seems an unlikely and intrepid one.  

The one problem though is that albums aren’t constructed the same way concerts are. A properly organized album tracklist is very top-heavy with its crowd-pleasers. Concerts are distinctly opposite of that. Songs like “Same Suit, Different Tie,” “English Girls,” “Bad Behavior,” and "Black Butterflies and Déjà Vu" need to be toward the end of the set. The result was a lopsided show that kinda dragged towards the end of each individual set.  

I super-respect The Maine for building a show around their albums regardless of how impractical the actual show ended up being.  

New Found Glory - 12/2/2017 - Saturn Birmingham, AL

This write-up isn’t going to be about New Found Glory. It’s going to be about my wonderful wife. NFG put on a perfect show. For their 20th anniversary, they played through their self-titled album and Sticks and Stones and the whole night felt like a party from my college years. I LOVE NFG, but this isn’t about them.  

Ariel is not a huge fan of the band. Its not that she doesn’t like them, she has just had limited exposure to them. Consequently, she had to find a way to entertain herself during the show. After a few drinks, she went on a mission that ended with her/us stealing the end of the show.  

She turned to me about 1/2 way through the concert and asked for my (wedding) ring. I gave it to her and she disappeared. 5 minutes later she reappeared 10 feet in front of me (2 feet from the stage) holding her phone facing band. She was so close to the stage that the bassist, Ian Grushka, could see her phone. 

She held her phone up to the band for about 4-5 songs. It was obvious she was trying to send a message. The band finished the main set with the classic “Hit or Miss” and she returned to my side obviously feeling defeated. The band emerged for the encore and after two songs Grushka motions to the area of the crowd Ariel had been standing. That’s where this video picks up.  

Yeah, that’s right, Ariel convinced New Found Glory to surrender their concert to her so she could propose to her “manfriend”. What started out as a normal pop-punk show, ended as one of the most memorable nights of my entire life. No one, I say no one, can pull off the things my wife can. This stunt is proof that she’s a truly special individual, and this amongst many other reasons is why I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.  

On a side note, 2017 was the best year we’ve ever had when it comes to getting setlists and in the back of my mind, I think the NFG stunt was just her way to ensuring she leave that venue with the epic two page setlist.  Thus complete the Ariel Blackwell perfect setlist year. Every show she attended in 2017 ended with her getting a setlist...there is nothing this woman isn’t capable of.  

2018...here...we...come!

Lineup: Madame Mayhem, Austin John Winkler, Smile Empty Soul, Fozzy, Hardcore Superstar, and The Last Band Tour moniker: Love Sick Radio Tour

The eponymous frontwoman said of the upcoming treks:

“Excited to be part of this leg of the Love Sick Radio Tour with Austin John Winkler and Smile Empty Soul, presented by M7 Agency. I love Austin’s voice, and grew up listening to Hinder, and am a fan of Smile Empty Soul – ‘Bottom Of A Bottle’ was a song that helped me when I was frustrated or upset growing up, and I love that song, so being able to watch them play every night after our set is going to be a blast. I am also super excited we get to perform in some areas we haven’t had the chance to play live for yet. Hope to see new and familiar faces out in the crowd. It’s also great that this run is right before we head over to the UK and Europe with Fozzy and Hardcore Superstar. Our sets will have the new not yet released songs as well as songs out now, so it will be cool to introduce these new songs to the world all jam packed in a couple of months!”
