The cash from Soros and his acolytes has been critical to the Columbia protests that set off the national copycat demonstrations.
Three groups set up the tent city on Columbia’s lawn last Wednesday: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Within Our Lifetime.
At the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens.
An analysis by The Post shows that all three got cash from groups linked to Soros. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund also gave cash to JVP.
The fund is chaired by Joseph Pierson, and includes David Rockefeller Jr, a fourth-generation member of the oil dynasty, on its board of directors. The non-profit gives money to “sustainable development” and “peace-building.”
And a former Wall Street banker, Felice Gelman, a retired investment banker who has dedicated her Wall Street fortune to pro-Palestinian causes, funded all three groups.

Both SJP and JVP were expelled from Columbia University in November for “threatening rhetoric and intimidation.” JVP blamed Israel for the Oct 7 Hamas terrorist attack that left 1,200 Israelis dead.
“Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence,” JVP said in a statement on its website.  
SJP called the terrorist strike on Israel “a historic win.”

17Also on offer for the thirsty anti-Israeli protesters camped out at Columbia is free coffee from Dunkin’. Behind the scenes, the groups organizing the encampment have received cash from Soros and another former Wall Street banker.NYPJ
An analysis by The Post shows how Soros and Gelman’s cash made its way to the students through a network of nonprofits that help obscure their contributions.
Soros has given billions to the Open Society Foundations which his son Alexander — whose partner is Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s top aide and the estranged wife of pervert Anthony Weiner — now controls.
In turn, Open Society has given more than $20 million to the Tides Foundation, a progressive nonprofit “fiscal sponsor” that then sends the cash to smaller groups.
Those groups include A Jewish Voice for Peace, which between 2017 and 2022 has received $650,000 from Soros’ Open Society. Its advisers include the academic Noam Chomsky and the left-wing feminist author Naomi Klein.
JVP has been a prominent part of the protests at Columbia and one of its student members was among a group expelled from the university for inviting the leader of a proscribed terrorist group, Khaled, to the “Resistance 101” Zoom meeting.
Soros has also donated $132,000 to WESPAC, called in full the Westchester People’s Action Coalition Foundation.

Marilyn Monroe
Nasce a Los Angeles il 1° giugno 1926 ma, a causa dei problemi di salute mentale della madre, viene data a una famiglia affidataria.
Il 19 giugno 1942 si sposa con un vicino, Jim Dougherty.
Nel 1945 viene notata da un fotografo mentre lavora in fabbrica e inizia a lavorare come fotomodella, l'anno successivo divorzia dal marito.
Nel 1946 ottiene il primo contratto di sei mesi con la Fox, le chiedono di assumere un nome d'arte, alla fine la scelta è Marilyn Monroe.
Ottiene un secondo contratto temporaneo con la Columbia, recita in film di serie B e continua a posare per le pubblicità.
Nel 1953 i ruoli in Niagara e Gli uomini preferiscono le bionde fanno di lei una star.
Sposa il campione di baseball Joe Di Maggio il 14 gennaio 1954; nel 1955 spopola con l'interpretazione in Quando la moglie è in vacanza e divorzia.
Si trasferisce nel 1956 a New York per studiare recitazione, conosce e sposa il commediografo Arthur Miller il 29 giugno 1956.
Subisce una serie di aborti e il rapporto con il terzo marito si deteriora: divorziano il 21 gennaio 1961.
Nel 1959 e nel 1962 vince il Golden Globe come migliore attrice.
Viene trovata morta il 5 agosto 1962.
Arrivata a Hollywood grazie al lavoro di fotomodella, Marilyn Monroe diventa una delle attrici più conosciute al mondo.
Lavora con i migliori registi di Hollywood e interpreta la protagonista di film che hanno fatto la storia del cinema.
Al successo professionale non corrisponde una felice vita privata: oltre a tre matrimoni falliti e l'impossibilità di avere figli, riesce a gestire la fama solo con alcol e tranquillanti, in un mix che la porta alla morte (forse accidentale) a soli 36 anni.

Cagliari, alla Galleria comunale d’arte la mostra sulla pittrice Lia Drei
Tumblr media
Cagliari, alla Galleria comunale d’arte la mostra sulla pittrice Lia Drei. L’incessante ricerca, astratta, geometrica e cromatica, di una delle più importanti artiste italiane del XX secolo, a cento anni dalla sua nascita. Alla Galleria comunale d’arte di Cagliari sarà possibile visitare “Lia Drei – Forme e geometrie di luce”, mostra che attraverso 24 opere provenienti da tutte le fasi della sua produzione, racconta l’evoluzione artistica di Lia Drei e la sua costante indagine nei confronti della percezione forma-colore. L’esposizione, organizzata dall’Assessorato della Cultura e spettacolo del Comune di Cagliari e dai Musei civici, curata da Teodolinda Coltellaro, è stata presentata stamattina alla stampa e inaugurata dal sindaco Paolo Truzzu, dall’assessora Maria Dolores Picciau. “Cagliari – ha detto Truzzu - si conferma città che racconta l’arte italiana seguendo percorsi originali e riletture attuali e mai banali. Questa mostra su Lia Drei è particolarmente significativa per la statura dell’artista: personalità poliedrica, femminista ante litteram, protagonista di un appassionato percorso di ricerca che la lega anche alla nostra città grazie al marito Francesco Guerrieri, calabrese di nascita ma cagliaritano d’adozione. La mostra entra così in felice simbiosi con le collezioni permanenti della Galleria comunale e ricorda come Cagliari sia stata negli anni sia una comunità dalle mille idee, varia, mai scontata, mai prevedibile, capace di affermarsi in tutte le arti”. Anche per l’assessora Picciau “per tracciare una storia delle Neoavanguardie artistiche degli anni Sessanta e Settanta, risulta d’obbligo passare per l’esperienza di una delle principali protagoniste della riflessione teorica sull’applicazione del metodo scientifico all’arte. Non solo. Con la retrospettiva dedicata a Lia Drei a cent’anni dalla nascita, continua il processo di valorizzazione del mondo femminile nelle arti figurative promosso dall’Assessorato alla Cultura e spettacolo del Comune di Cagliari”. Inoltre, “con questa esposizione – ha aggiunto l'assessora - apriamo le porte a un particolare fermento artistico che negli anni Sessanta animò anche la città di Cagliari, dove la pittrice, insieme a Francesco Guerrieri e a diversi storici dell’arte come Corrado Maltese, eseguì alcune ricerche sulla percezione-forma-colore per l’Università del Capoluogo. Allo stesso tempo lo sguardo corre alla stretta connessione tra le opere dell’artista con la collezione Ugo Ugo, che tra i grandi pionieri della ricerca astratto-geometrica nazionale contempla anche la presenza di Lia Drei. Insomma “ospitare un'artista a tutto tondo e internazionale come Lia Drei significa connettere la nostra città col resto del mondo. La nostra convinzione, infatti, è che solo grazie a una buona politica culturale le energie artistiche, espressive e creative di una città potranno esprimere con successo la loro forza propulsiva”. Dello stesso tenore anche l'intervento di Enrica Anedda, presidente della Commissione Cultura: "Il programma di iniziative dei musei civici e dell’Assessorato alla Cultura si conferma di grande interesse”, ha rimarcato. “Con mostre di qualità che hanno portato la città all’attenzione nazionale e che danno spazio e visibilità anche agli artisti locali. È particolarmente importante, e l’esposizione che presentiamo oggi è un ulteriore esempio, la costante attenzione verso le donne nell’arte. Lia Drei, anche nella rigorosità delle forme geometriche, riesce a portare una nota femminile che riesce a distinguerla da tutti gli altri astrattisti". Nata a Roma nel 1922, figlia del pittore e scultore Ercole Drei, Lia Drei è una straordinaria figura femminile della prima parte del Novecento. Respira e pratica l'arte figurativa fin dai primi anni di vita nello studio del padre a Villa Strohl-Fern, immaginifico luogo d'incontro di tanti percorsi artistici della Capitale; si laurea in Lettere alla Sapienza e si perfeziona alla Columbia University di New York dove poi insegnerà per qualche anno prima di rientrare in Italia; diventa campionessa italiana di nuoto e tuffi dal trampolino; è amante della musica (in mostra è esposta la sua storica chitarra) e studiosa delle problematiche ottiche, dei processi retinici e percettivi. Tutte queste sfaccettature della sua personalità si riversano nella sua produzione artistica, soprattutto a partire dal 1963, quando, dopo aver conosciuto il pittore Francesco Guerrieri che diventerà compagno d'arte e di vita, contribuirà alla costituzione del “Gruppo ‘63” e del binomio “Sperimentale p.”(p. sta per “puro”), nato dalla scissione del “Gruppo ’63”, movimenti artistici sperimentali ormai annoverati a pieno titolo nella storia dell’arte visiva contemporanea. Il cammino creativo di Lia Drei diventa così ricerca e indagine, concentrate soprattutto sulla percezione e sulla visione. Drei intuisce i limiti della figurazione e inizia a romperne i vincoli sulla tela, appigliandosi alle stratificazioni del colore per creare nuove soluzioni espressive. Si delinea così la sua intensa esperienza astratto-informale, incentrata su nuove strutture della visione che di fatto dà l’avvio a periodi fertili di conquiste linguistiche, di inedite possibilità strutturali di forme e colori, di originale applicazione del metodo scientifico all'arte. Lia Drei – Forme e geometrie di luce restituisce questa costante evoluzione dello sguardo e dell'espressione attraverso 24 opere realizzate dall'inizio degli anni Sessanta fino a poco prima della scomparsa, avvenuta nel 2005. Per la curatrice della mostra, Teodolinda Coltellaro, “il cammino creativo di Lia Drei può definirsi uno straordinario viaggio nella ricerca, una ricerca mai sazia, indomita, che ne ha indirizzato i passi nei territori dell’arte, fino alla fine. Due termini, viaggio e ricerca che, nell’intento di delinearne lo spessore artistico e umano sostanziale, risultano complementari: l’uno amplifica le connotazioni storico-culturali proprie di un’esistenza, ne qualifica le coordinate operative che di volta in volta ne hanno caratterizzato il lavoro; l’altro identifica l’assunto conoscitivo fondamentale di un discorso sull’arte, sulle sue categorie gnoseologiche, in un ininterrotto e coerente cercare sempre nuove forme e modalità estetiche da esperire”. L'esposizione alla Galleria comunale d'Arte non vuole solo celebrare il centenario della nascita dell'artista, ma ricordare anche che il percorso di Lia Drei fece tappa anche a Cagliari, dove, negli anni Sessanta la pittrice, insieme a Guerrieri e a diversi storici dell’arte come Corrado Maltese, compì alcune ricerche sulla percezione-forma-colore per l’università del capoluogo. E due sue opere hanno già trovato dimora in città, grazie alla Collezione Ugo Ugo, raccolta di arte contemporanea particolarmente attenta alla ricerca astratta-geometrica, assemblata a cavallo tra gli anni Sessanta e Settanta dall'artista, storico direttore della Galleria Comunale per quasi vent'anni. “Lia Drei – Forme e geometrie di luce” rimarrà aperta alla Galleria comunale d’Arte dei Giardini pubblici di Cagliari fino al 26 febbraio 2023. Sarà visitabile dal martedì alla domenica, dalle 10 alle 18. Il costo del biglietto è quello consueto (intero 6 euro, ridotto 3 euro), ma sono previste agevolazioni e ingressi gratuiti per gli aventi diritto.

Chp 10 Field Work
Historical redlining and birth outcomes in California | Columbia Public Health
Redlining is a discriminatory practice that puts services, financial or otherwise, out of reach for residents based on their race and ethnicity. This is the case for a lot of cities in California, my city especially. The working class mostly live on opposite sides of the town, residing on the east and west. While the capitalist class lives on the North end of the town. To me, this is a clear representation of Marx’s theory because it displays how poor rural communities get the short end of the stick when it comes to where they live. The west side has many factories run and owned by people who do not even live in the area. They don’t breathe in heavily polluted air or smell it whenever they step outside. Individuals who reside on the north end have clean crystal-clear air.
Former SAT/ACT test administrator pleads guilty in college admissions scandal (nbcnews.com)
In 2019, a college SAT scandal was uncovered. Igor Dvorsky, a former test administrator pleaded guilty in court to accepting bribes to allow cheating SAT and ACT tests in a multi-million-dollar college admissions scandal. Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman were some of the celebrities’ part of the scandal. They were paying their children’s SAT and ACT scores off, and they thought they were above the law because they were famous. This is a prime example of Max Weber’s theory about prestige.
The Not-So-Obvious Privileges Of Wealth—Let’s Look At Them (scarymommy.com)
A lot of wealth is passed down through families, and with wealth comes influence, social status, and resources. Some wealthy families don’t have to struggle for anything. Their children can pick any college in the nation because of their wealth status. Therefore, there are systems built for wealthy people to succeed it's called “pulling strings” or “making connections.” Pierre Bourdieu’s theory explains it well, in the textbook it says “family wealth enables children to perpetuate cultural capital, including high motivation and a sense of possibilities that are crucial for academic success. Schools reward cultural capital. In the process, schools reproduce social class advantage.”

Come Back in September
Darryl Pinckney
Darryl Pinckney arrived at Columbia University in New York City in the early 1970s and had the opportunity to enroll in Elizabeth Hardwick’s creative writing class at Barnard. It changed his life. When the semester was over, he continued to visit her, and he became close to both Hardwick and Barbara Epstein, Hardwick’s best friend and neighbor and a fellow founder of The New York Review of Books. Pinckney was drawn into a New York literary world where he encountered some of the fascinating contributors to the Review, among them Susan Sontag, Robert Lowell, and Mary McCarthy. Yet the intellectual and artistic freedom that Pinckney observed on West Sixty-seventh Street could conflict with the demands of his politically minded family and their sense of the unavoidable lessons of black history.
Pinckney’s education in Hardwick’s orbit took place in the context of the cultural movements then sweeping New York. In addition, through his peers and former classmates—such as Felice Rosser, Jim Jarmusch, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Luc Sante, Howard Brookner, and Nan Goldin—Pinckney witnessed the coming together of the New Wave scene in the East Village. He experienced the avantgarde life at the same time as he was discovering the sexual freedom brought by gay liberation. It was his time for hope.

Confessions (The Kiss Redux) (Part 4)
back at it again kids! the last part of Folie a Deux. We get that good good ending y’all! 
Felicity and Don Karnage have a last dance. 
It slowly dawned on Felicity that she had moved on from the initial infatuation and actually fell in love with her former rival(?) after a few months of them seeing one another. The realization happened so casually that it took her a minute to react in shock. The feeling was a long time coming though - it grew and grew with every dance, and kiss, and late night talks that were never planned on.
She never said it aloud. What would be mean then? How would everything change with three words? What would people say if they went out in public about it? What would her grandfather do? But more importantly, what would Karnage say in response?
Fortunately, she wouldn’t have to ask.
Don Karnage had snuck into a charity gala she was performing at, hair and ears slicked back and dressed in a probably pilfered but high-quality tuxedo. No one seemed to recognize him a first - not even Felicity, at least not until he got close to the stage where she was standing. Felicity nearly missed a cue from the band behind her when she realized who it was, but continued singing, watching him for the rest of her set. It was partially because she just wanted to watch him, part to make sure he wasn’t stealing anything.
But no, he just meandered through the crowd, sipping champagne but not talking to anyone. Felicity had told him about the event weeks ago, but she hadn’t expected him to show up to it - it was a pleasant surprise, but she was more surprised he hadn’t picked anyone’s pockets. Once her set had finished for the hour, Felicity made her way through the crowd to him, gently saying no thank you to asks for a dance and sharing only a few words of conversations until she was at his side.
Don Karnage slipped an arm around hers wordlessly as she gently began to lead him to a quieter section of the room. The band slipped into a slow dance that the two just as easily slipped into, smoothly gliding across the floor.
“I didn’t expect you to come tonight,” she said, leaning close. “You surprised me.”
“I like watching you perform, songbird,” he laughed, leaning her back into a dip. “And I didn’t have to break into this. They really let anyone in who looks the part. No one recognized me.”
“We should have a chat with security then,” Felicity smirked. “But seriously, with the Beagle Boys in Duckburg?”
“Good point, but they’re nothing compared to me,” Karnage replied smugly, bringing her back to standing. “But maybe next time you can bring me here yourself.”
“Perhaps…,” she murmured. Felicity pressed her forehead into his shoulder. “I would like to, really, but someone will recognize you eventually. What happens then? What would we do? There could be fall-out.”
“Who cares? I usually get away,” Karnage replied.
“But what about me? I couldn’t get away with you,” she snipped. “Imagine what everyone would say? ‘She’s the starlet who was seduced by a pirate’, or they’ll think I helped orchestrate robberies in Duckburg...I hate to sound selfish but my career would be over.”
“Is your career more important than a relationship?” he asked, staring at her incredulously.
“Don, we haven’t even discussed what this is!” Felicity exclaimed as quietly as she could. “What even are we then?”
“We’re - I don’t know. This isn’t exactly the best time to break that down, Felicity,” Karnage replied.
“We keep pushing this off and off, and by all means, we should have ended the infatuation months ago,” she hissed, looking away from him. Before it became something else. “We need to end this before one of us gets hurt.”
Karnage’s grip on her tightened, and she looked back at him. He was scowling, visibly as angry and upset as she was. “Fine then! If that’s what you want so badly.”
“It is,” Felicity choked out, hoping he didn’t see her blinked away tears. Karnage’s lip curled up, angry as he turned away to look at the band on stage. The slow dance was dying down.
“Before this ends, one last dance with infatuation.” He demanded, turning his head back to her. “Then we can go back to fighting like before. You can at least let us have this.”
Felicity’s mouth was dry, unable to speak, but she nodded. It wasn’t what she wanted. She wanted nothing more than to close the gap between them and kiss him, make him know that she wanted them together and that his mouth was hers and hers alone to kiss, to apologize and say a thousand things that she wanted to but she convinced herself that this was the best thing. The band struck up again, and she recognized the song - it was the one she used to escape the airship and the one that started everything. She managed a ghost of laugh, distant and faint, as they moved to position again.
The dance was different this time. It bordered on anger, regret, a goodbye and the last attempt at romance. Felicity didn’t begin a chase, content to stay in his arms as they moved across the dance floor, wanting to communicate what she verbally couldn’t. Karnage kept his eyes on her only, just like the day they kissed for the first time, and conflict was visible on his face. The dance seemed to last only a few brief minutes this time, and it ended with a low, drawn-out dip, his hands steady on her back and hand.
“I love you.”
The words slipped out of his mouth in a whisper only she could hear above the quieting din of the band and the murmur of the crowd. Felicity stared into his eyes in surprise and felt her heart leap in her chest and the world fell away for a moment as she moved her hand from his shoulder to his cheek. Like normal, he pressed into the touch, but never broke eye contact, waiting for a response, for anything.  Her mind went blank and only one move entered her mind.
In one swift motion, she pressed her hand to the back of his head closed the distance between them, desperately kissing him like it was the end of the world. This is what she wanted - full surrender and claim of everything she could hold onto. It was an apology, an acknowledgement of everything and anything that had happened between them. When she pulled away, she moved her hand back to his cheek, admiring the look of surprise on his face.
“I love you too, pirate.”
The was a round of clapping around them, snapping them from their moment. They scrambled to stand, looking at the crowd who had been watching them dance and their kiss. Don Karnage, ever one for praise, preened under it while Felicity blushed, hiding her head in his chest. His heartbeat was racing, but so was her’s. When the crowd died down, she pulled him outside onto a little window balcony.
“I take everything I said before back,” Felicity admitted. “Not the ‘I love you,’ that’s true, and I’ve wanted to say it for weeks. but god I was so...freaked out and paranoid, and I thought-”
She pressed her head on his shoulder. “I was worried about what would happen in the fallout. With people, with you...I thought if I put an end to it, the less we’d both get hurt. But what I felt after I said everything-”
“Forget the world. Let yourself have something you want, I usually do,” Karnage suggested. “How much do you give? How much do you take?”
“I don’t want to be selfish, even when it comes to you,” Felicity laughed pitifully. He pressed his nose to her head.
“If I can be selfish, so can you,” he replied. Karnage pecked her forehead and pulled back. “You said that you wanted to know what we are. I think that’s a good thing to start being selfish with.”
“Dating. We’re dating,” Felicity stated. “Boyfriend, girlfriend, lovers, songbird and pirate - I don’t care what we call it. Just as long as I have you.”
“I like songbird and pirate,” he replied, nuzzling her cheek. “Let’s go with that.”
“Pirate,” she laughed, kissing the corner of his mouth. “Let’s head back inside. I have to sing soon, and I want you there.”
“Wouldn’t dream of missing it, songbird.”

Rachel Eliot ✤ Ghost Town
Rachel Eliot had a plan. She would continue to date Grizz until he graduated, just a few weeks away. She would spend her senior year as the heartbroken ex, thereby eliminating any questions about her refusal to date. Then, she would get into Columbia, live in New York with Grizz and study visual arts and creative writing, and then she would finally be able to come out. She would continue to talk to Sam, continuing to pine over Becca from afar, but West Ham would be left in the past. That was her plan.
But then the smell came, and left, and came back again, and then the busses came.  The busses took them away, and brought them back, and everyone was gone.  West Ham was empty, shut off from whatever outside world might have still existed, just a couple hundred teenagers with no way of calling for help.  And suddenly, Rachel needed a new plan.  Adapt. Survive. Keep everyone alive. Protect them, no matter the cost.
Rachel Eliot had a plan. The busses came and left and too that plan with them. But Rachel was an artist, a writer, a survivor. And most importantly, she would do whatever it took to protect the people she loved.

Gary Lucas
Incredible Guitarist Offers a 40th Anniversary Show on 9/11 at (le) poisson rouge
by Brad Balfour I'm always happy to exploit a chance to tout the virtues of the late musical game-changer Captain Beefheart (Don Van Vliet). Being in his Magic Band was a feather in the cap for any musician. Not only did the fantastic guitarist Gary Lucas play in his band for the latter part of its history, but he also served as Beefheart's manager and press liaison. Quite a transition from doing marketing for a major label such as Columbia, it demonstrated Lucas' versatility in art and in life. Beefheart created music that not only influences bands to this day but it is still difficult to affix any label to it. Part atonal avant-garde music mixed with jazz and blues; it takes a dexterous player to perform his complex pieces. Having been called, "One of the 100 Greatest Living Guitarists" by Classic Rock Magazine, Lucas was up to the task – and to this day keeps Beefheart's musical legacy alive through shows and recordings. He not only contended with Beefheart, Lucas grappled with the late singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley and his emotionally trying life which ended far too early in an accidental drowning. In mid-1991, Buckley began co-writing with Lucas, resulting in the songs "Grace" and "Mojo Pin." By late '91 Buckley began performing with Lucas' band Gods and Monsters around New York City. The day after they officially debuted in March 1992, Buckley left the band.
Tumblr media
Wrangling with complex music and people has marked a long career which included a constant travel schedule until the lockdown. In order to keep out there and keep his fans happy, Lucas did regular live performances on Facebook throughout. In addition, a new recording came out this July, "Le Beast Concrète" – a collaboration with multi-genre producer David Sisko. Mixing Lucas' guitar (both from studio and field recordings) and Sisko's electronics, synthesis & beats, it can be considered a "genre-fluid" mix of blues, rock, dance, trap and avant-garde sounds.  Now decades into his career, this Grammy-nominated guitarist / songwriter / composer is celebrating his 40 years of creative work. Lucas has released over 35 albums as a leader in multiple genres including jazz, rock, avant-garde, world, classical, folk and electronica. In addition he has played on countless others. The 60-something has performed in 40-plus countries including China, Russia, India. Japan, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, and all over Eastern and Western Europe. But this former Syracuse native makes his home in NYC. A partial list of artists he's worked and collaborated with includes Jeff Buckley, Captain Beefheart, Future Sound of London, Nona Hendryx, Chris Cornell, Patti Smith, Peter Hammill, Lou Reed, John Cale, Los Van, and the Plastic People of the Universe. When a label decided to release a extended overview of his career it's no wonder that Lucas's new retrospective double album The Essential Gary Lucas (Knitting Factory Records) spans over 40 years of music running at 160 minutes. This release includes 12 rare and unreleased tracks and continues to receive excellent reviews and airplay internationally. The physical CD is now in its second pressing. In addition, from 8pm to 10pm on Saturday, September 11th, 2021, Lucas celebrates these 40 years of innovative music with an all-star show at NYC's (le) poisson rouge. Lucas will perform solo, in duo format, and with his longtime jazz-rock supergroup Gods And Monsters, featuring Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers) on bass, Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) on keyboards, Billy Ficca (Television) on drums, and Jason Candler (Hungry March Band) on sax. Special guests include Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) on guitar, and vocalists Richard Barone, Felice Rosser and Emily Duff. This acclaimed guitarist, songwriter and composer answered a few questions about his up-coming performance on 9/11.
Tumblr media
How do you select the material from over four decades of work to perform live? How did you change things up? I chose some songs I haven't played in years with the guys, like "Jedwabne" and some I know the audience wants to hear, like "Grace." I tried to select some cool music from all phases of my 40 year career – but of course, having put over 35 albums out to date, there's going to be something missing for some of my fans, I'm sure. Can you mention some songs and their significance? "Jedwabne" is a song about an infamous pogrom against the Jewish community in July 1941 in a little town in Poland where my relatives on my mother's side came from. I wanted to commemorate this event as it has been a controversial subject in Poland since a book came about by Professor Jan Gross titled Neighbors which looked into this incident deeply. Gross discovered that many of the non-Jewish neighbors of the Jews incinerated in the Jedwabne community were all too willing and complicit in this pogrom, which took place under German occupation.
I attended an official government apology ceremony in July 2001 held in Jedwabne and was motivated to commemorate the event in that song, which was on the last studio Gods and Monsters album The Ordeal of Civility. Since then they've passed laws in Poland making it a crime to speak about the Holocaust in connection with any possibility of Polish people sharing responsibility for this atrocity, which is patent nonsense. The government there even tried to rescind numerous prizes awarded to Prof. Gross for his research, in fact. Orwellian is not quite the word for this. I thought it was important to commemorate the story of Jedwabne in song, and thus have brought it back for this 40th anniversary show, Another important song is "Lady of Shalott." The lyrics to this are by the UK expat writer David Dalton, who has written some excellent biographies of James Dean, Marianne Faithfull and others. Many years ago we were introduced by the late Steve Paul (founder of the legendary 60's club The Scene in NYC amongst other things). David's best friend is Marianne Faithfull, and he approached me about putting music to lyrics he had written for her to sing. [This one is] a kind of gloss on Alfred Lord Tennyson's famous poem "The Lady of Shalott," which is based on Arthurian legend. I found his lyrics haunting and came up with what I think is appropriately haunting music. I demoed it up and Steve presented it to Marianne, who said it wasn't in her key! A good song is a good song, so I decided to adapt this for my group, and revised the personal pronouns in some of the lyrics but essentially left them alone. One of the rare instances when I let someone else's lyrics come first to drive the songwriting process! When Jeff Buckley and I worked together, I would always come up with the music first, then pass it on to him to put lyrics and a vocal melody to. I think the song came out great and I am happy to perform it again in this show! How much will you improvise and how much will be fixed? It will be about 50% composed and 50% improvised music.
Tumblr media
Was Beefheart's music composed?
Yes, absolutely. Only he was allowed to improvise. I recall that when we played this incredible show at the Beacon Theater in Nov. 1980 with James Blood Ulmer opening, my friend, the saxophonist Tim Berne, came up to me and said, "I could never play the same parts every night like you guys did." He was referring to the fact that the only improv allowed on the gig was by Don Van Vliet himself. I told Tim that it didn't bother me, as it was total ecstasy playing Don's music. In that, it was like modern classical music. You had to adhere to the parts or the whole thing would have collapsed. What sounds like random playing on the part of the band in spots was all meticulously rehearsed and worked out. Of course working with the Captain was enough to establish you in history. Every time I listen to him, I hear something new. Is that the same for you when you play his music? What is it that drove you to want to work with him? Yes, Don was a staggeringly powerful artist, and I found his overall presence overwhelming. When I met Don, I was ready for magic in my life; everything seemed very flat and boring at that time. After seeing his debut show in NYC I knew I had found it. You've written much about Jeff Buckley is there anything about Jeff that you want to add or summarize? Jeff was the most gifted all-round musician I ever met and collaborated with. I can't praise his musical ability enough. I feel really blessed to have worked with him. When Jeff died the world lost a rare treasure. An artist of that quality doesn't come along, maybe only once in a generation. Personally, I was devastated by both the loss of a friend and the greatest collaborator I've ever known. You've worked with such amazing people as Don and Jeff. Do you think there is something in common with these artists and you? Please elaborate.  Yes, I have been blessed to work with some of the creme de la creme of modern musical artists. I think they recognized a simpatico sensibility and sensitivity in me as a player and collaborator that made for mutual attraction – what can I say? What are your goals as far as writing and playing music for folks around the world? I think wherever I go in the world – and I've traveled and played in over 40 countries to date, including Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, Scandinavia, Israel, Serbia, all over Eastern and Western Europe, Brazil, Colombia , Morocco, Canada and of course the US – I meet bored people looking for something different. Something special, something that will bring a sense of wonder into their lives. I aim to provide that experience as best I can with my guitar playing, which leans heavily on the blues, which I find to be universal. Everybody feels pain and everyone experiences joy (another kind of blues) in their lives. But beyond that I try to bring the X-Factor into my playing in ways designed to elevate, comfort, astonish and delight – to provoke the response "I never heard such music played like that before." That's my mission.

Home is…
North London. I grew up in Tufnell Park and have always lived near there. I love it.
What was the last play you saw?
I recently went to see Fleabag, right before it closed. I’d seen the TV series, which is hilarious, brilliant and clever.
Favourite Hotel?
The Covent Garden Hotel. I like that it’s small and tucked away, and nothing feels too revamped or modern. 
Bus, taxi or Tube?
I try to walk everywhere. But if I have to, bus or Tube.
Where would you most like to be buried?
Morbid! Can’t say I’ve given this much thought, but… Highgate Cemetery is really beautiful. Or I’d be cremated and have my ashes scattered on Hampstead Heath, for all the dog walkers.
Where would you recommend for a first date?
I’d say a walk along the Thames, or maybe along the canal towards Broadway Market. There’s a fun cocktail bar called Off Broadway by London Fields.
If you could buy any building and live there, which would it be?
I don’t know if I’d live there, but I’d like to buy a really old London pub, with a nice garden and plenty of fireplaces.
What would you do if you were Mayor for the day?
I’d ban a lot of cars and have people walk more. And I’d also enforce a penalty for people who walk slowly on the Tube. It drives me mad. It’s an assault course!
Favourite pub?
For a Sunday roast I like the Royal Oak on Columbia Road.
What makes someone a Londoner?
An intrinsic sense of liberality and tolerance. It’s a city that’s celebrated for its differences, which makes us unique and strong and who we are.
What do you collect?
Little trinkets from holidays or film sets, and matchboxes from hotels.
Which shops do you rely on?
I like the Muswell Hill Bookshop, which always has a good selection, and the shops, cafés and pubs on Redchurch Street. Also the BFI, Kipferl in Camden Passage, and Toff’s in Muswell Hill for fish and chips.
Have you ever had a run-in with a police officer?
None that we are going to talk about.
Who do you call when you want to have fun?
I’ve got a core group of around six friends who I’ve known since I was about 12. We all live in London and speak pretty much every day. We have a WhatsApp group, but the name is far too embarrassing to share!
Where do you work out?
I played a lot of tennis growing up and I’m trying to start again. I’ve also got some mates who go rock climbing, so I’ve been getting into that.
What are you up to at the moment for work?
I have A Christmas Carol coming out with the BBC. I’ve just started work on Last Letter From Your Lover, with Felicity Jones and Shailene Woodley. And I also popped in for a few days on Joanna Hogg’s new film, The Souvenir 2.
‘Harriet’ is out now

Time for a story - Confessions
Tumblr media
Felicity could almost feel William’s gaze trying to get under her skin as she was reading his essay. Watching him from the corner of her eyes, Felicity could see how nervous her oldest son was about her reaction. He seemed to have trouble biting back the questions that were burning on his tongue.
Writing your application essay for college was a big thing. It held quite some meaning as it was a major factor in the decision of whether or not you were accepted into the college you wanted. It also held quite some information about yourself, deep thoughts that maybe you only realized you had once you started writing.
Although it had been quite some years by now, Felicity still remembered writing her application essay. She had sat down and written it down in one go, because she had known forever what her deepest passion was. She had always wanted to work with computer, developing idea to use technology for even more useful reasons. Once she had written everything down, she had read it and just tore it apart. She had needed a second attempt to make it better. It had continued with the same cycle a couple of times before she had eventually been satisfied. Nobody had ever been allowed to read this though.
Once Felicity had read the last line, she put the essay down onto the kitchen table and smiled at William.
“This is great,” she told him, putting her hand to his essay almost protectively, “I really, really love it.”
“But?” William asked, looking at her intensely. “There is a but coming, right? Because it’s not yet perfect. There are things that can be done better.”
Felicity smiled softly, shaking her head. She knew that William wasn’t her biological son, and yet she found so much of herself in him. If anyone ever doubted that a person was more than their genetics, William was the perfect example. He was taking after her, at least a little bit, and it was so beautiful.
“I have been the same when I wrote my application essay,” Felicity said, still smiling softly, “I mean I was just as nervous as you. When I started writing it, I knew exactly where I wanted it to go. I had a good feeling while writing. The moment I read it, I felt like it was terrible though and like it didn’t match up what I really felt. That is why I trashed it and wrote a new one. I spent like a week in that cycle because I always wanted to reach higher.”
“Did it get better with every version?”
Felicity sighed. It was a good question since it would have been worth the effort of writing it new again and again if it had actually turned out better.
“The truth is that I don’t know,” Felicity replied, shrugging her shoulders, “because every new version of writing this essay just confused me more until I had no idea what was good and what wasn’t at the end.”
“So what did you do?”
Felicity chuckled. “I fished that first version out of the trash and handed it in as my essay.”
“And you have been accepted.”
“I have,” Felicity confirmed with a smile, “and so will you.”
William took the essay and looked at it briefly. He nodded his head slowly, trying to figure out if Felicity was saying the truth. Of course, giving her advice was much easier than accepting it. After all, Felicity had already made her experience and was now at the head of a company that carried her name. William on the other hand still had to make his own experience.
Looking at Felicity, he put the essay into the envelope where he gathered all the papers that he needed to finalize his applications at the end. He trusted Felicity’s judgement, and it meant the world to her.
“What else should we take a look at?”
“Well, I have to fill in these papers, but I actually only understand half of them, so-“
Felicity chuckled. “Bless the bureaucracy!”
“I have no idea how I am supposed to work an office job – or any job really – if I can’t even fill in these papers.”
“Don’t worry,” Felicity replied, taking the papers from him to take first look at them, “you will get used to them eventually. And if you are really good, you will have an EA to have those fill in for you which is even better.”
“Thank you, Felicity.”
Surprised, Felicity lifted her gaze to look at William. He looked honestly relieved and amazed that she helped him like that. Applying for college was a big step, and there was a lot of work today. He was certainly happy to have a helping hand.
Felicity made a mental note to figure out if there were enough charity projects in Starling City that supported college applicants with their applications. When William had trouble with it already, Felicity guessed it was worse for others. After all, William had the full support of his family, while other kids were all on themselves with the applications. The Queen Family Foundation could certainly help with that.
“It’s nothing,” Felicity replied just as honestly, “I would do it anytime. Besides, Oliver would have certainly loved to help too.”
William furrowed his brows, looking at Felicity with skepsis. There was even a little bit of amusement playing around his lips.
“Really?” he asked. “I love dad, and he’s a great mayor and really smart. He never graduated from college though.”
“No, I didn’t,” Oliver confirmed casually as he stepped into the kitchen, “but I did get accepted in four Ivy League schools. That should count for something.”
Stepping more into the room, Oliver winked at Felicity and William. He would have loved to be asked to help with the applications, but he wasn’t mad that William had preferred to ask Felicity. He didn’t even mind that William had doubted that Oliver was capable of this. After all, Oliver was always the first person to make jokes about how he had dropped out of four colleges and how Felicity was a million times smarter than him.
Truth was that Oliver was quite smart. He could have easily graduated college if he hadn’t been that lazy and distracted. He had just set the wrong priorities.
“I never really had to apply to them though when I think about it,” Oliver said and shrugged his shoulders, “I think my parents took care of that.”
While Oliver still seemed like he was trying to remember how exactly he had been accepted into those four ivy league schools, William leaned closer to Felicity.
“Do you think that his parents committed fraud to get him in there?”
Probably, Felicity thought to herself because she couldn’t see Oliver sitting down and putting much effort into his application. At least from what she knew about Oliver during his last years in high school, Felicity doubted it.
“It would be one of their minor misdemeanors,” Felicity mumbled so quietly that not even William could hear her before she looked at Oliver and asked, “Can we help you with something?”
“I thought I’d start cooking,” Oliver replied, “so maybe you want to continue this upstairs. Is there still a lot of work ahead of you or is-“
Oliver stopped. He had taken a couple of steps towards them, shooting a look over William’s shoulder to see what papers they had been working on. The moment he had seen the flyers of the universities William was interested in, his facial expression had fallen though. Felicity could almost see that his heart breaking a little bit.
Deep down, Oliver had already known that William was applying to colleges that were on the East Coast. Around here, he was always connected to the Queen Family. Most people here knew that Robert and Oliver had been shipwrecked and that Oliver had been missing for five years after his father had shot himself to make sure Oliver could survive. Most people around here also knew that Oliver had been accused of being the vigilante – whatever was said to be his name – several times through the years. They also knew that Oliver was coming from a rich family and billions of dollars saved on his bank account that he loved to spend on his five children.
Admittedly, parts of this were certainly known at the other side of the country true, probably even all around the world. At least around here, it might feel like it wasn’t written on his forehead though. Since he was carrying his mother’s last name, there were certainly people that wouldn’t make that connection and see him as a usual student like all the others. For William, that was certainly a nice change.
“Columbia,” Oliver said and cleared his voice quickly as it sounded terribly hoarse, “that’s quite far away.”
“Yes.” William shot Felicity a quick glance before he turned to look at his father. “It has a good program for business school and for engineering school, so it would be a great fit.”
Oliver nodded his head slowly. “Sounds great.”
Although he sounded honest, it was impossible to miss that little sadness that was sounding through his words. Not even his smile could hide it.
“Well, I also applied to MIT, Dartmouth and Harvard,” William said carefully as he noticed his father’s reaction, “but I also took some near-by colleges into consideration. I mean… I…”
Looking at Felicity for help, William stopped and swallowed down hard. The decision to move a little farer away for college was one he hadn’t made easily. William loved being here. He loved his siblings. He loved to be close to both of his parents as Samantha was barely a few hours away, so he visited her like every other week if it worked.
“William, why don’t you go upstairs into my office already?” Felicity suggested with a warm smile. “I will follow in a minute.”
William shot another brief glance at his father before he nodded his head. He grabbed his stuff as quickly as possible and left the room, fleeing the gloomy atmosphere.
Felicity waited until his footsteps were at the stairs before she got up and walked towards Oliver. As he crossed his arms in front of his chest, Felicity put her hands to his forearms and leaned her weight against him. He head was cocked slightly, her lips spread into a soft and comforting smile.
“I am trying.”
Oliver’s words were honest. He was trying his best to not make it harder for William. Despite his own issues with William’s plan, he didn’t want William to change his plans because of that. He wanted William to be free of the Queen Family’s legacy to explore what other options he had in life.
If one person got that, it was Oliver. Looking back, he wished that he had had the same opportunity. His entire life had revolved around being part of the Queen Family. He had always known that he didn’t have to take responsibility. He didn’t have to study. He didn’t have to do anything. The name Queen solved all problems anyway.
“I know you are trying,” Felicity told him honestly, squeezing his arm gently, “and William knows that too.”
“It’s still not good enough.” Oliver sighed. “I should let go. William is an adult. He knows what he does. He has good reasons to leave here. If I were in his situation, I would probably do the same. College is about to be fun and it offers so many possibilities. Those can be used best if you are not in your usual environment and not around your parents.”
Felicity wondered if he had asked the ladies in the mom blog he had often be active in when Emmy and Tommy had been younger. Maybe he had just surfed the web for information on this this though. Oliver was very eager when it came to research about things happening in their family and how to react to it.
“I will miss him too,” Felicity said, knowing it was the one thing that made it so incredibly hard for Oliver to accept that William might move away, “because it’s unthinkable that he is not here everyday anymore.”
Oliver nodded his head, and Felicity could almost see how relieved he was that she got what he was feeling although he didn’t say it. A lot of times, understanding each other blindly like that just made things so much easier.
Uncrossing his arms, Oliver put his hands to her hips and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her as close as possible towards him, already angling his head to lean in. Felicity straightened up onto the tips of her toes at the same time. Her lips met his halfway.
Felicity sighed, wrapping her arms around Oliver’s neck and snuggling closer to him. She loved kissing Oliver. It gave her comfort that she hadn’t really known she had needed until now. Talking about William just hurt her a little more than she had believed it hurt her. Just like Oliver, she knew that it was best for him to move to the East Coast. Just like Oliver, she knew that she’d miss him like crazy. Maybe she was just better at hiding it.
The ringing of the door made them pull apart. Felicity scrunched up her nose and groaned. She hated being interrupted while kissing Oliver. For some reason, people just loved to interrupt them.
“I will go and-“
Before Oliver could go to open the room as he planned, Hawk ran from the living room past the kitchen and towards the front door. Felicity could hear him jumping against the handle of the front door to open it. They had tried to teach him not to do that anymore, and it worked most of the time. If he saw who was at the other side of the door it was someone he loved, it was unable to stop him though.
“I think we have the craziest doorman around.”
“Crazy,” Felicity agreed, “but very loveable.”
Oliver nodded his head. Smiling, he leaned in for another kiss. Felicity was about to meet him halfway once more when-
“Uuhhh, you are kissing!”
Chuckling at their oldest daughter’s weird way to say good morning, Oliver and Felicity pulled apart. Emmy was standing in the kitchen door, looking at them with a smile of amazement. In a couple of years, she would probably think that it was disgusting to see them kiss. For now, she was still a fan of her parents showing affection to one another.
“Hey, Sweetie,” Felicity said, staying leaned against Oliver’s chest, “how was the birthday pajama party?”
“So much fun!”
If the dark shadows under Emmy’s eyes were any indication, she probably hadn’t gotten much sleep. The huge smile on her lips told Felicity that her daughter didn’t mind though. A pajama party that offered a lot of sleep didn’t fulfill its use anyway. Pajama parties were there for little sleep and lots of fun.
“So, Jacob was there too?”
“Yes, he was.”
Felicity could feel Oliver’s eyes snapping towards her. She hadn’t told him that Jacob, Emmy’s crush from elementary school that she was basically dating as far as dating was a thing for kids at their age, had been invited to the pajama party too. Oliver’s heart already suffered knowing William might leave their home soon. Knowing that Emmy was spending a night with her boyfriend, even when they were surrounded by like a dozen of other kids, was too much for him to take right now.
“So, Jacob was there too.”
Oliver’s voice left no doubt that he wanted Felicity to tell him why she hadn’t informed him about that. Felicity didn’t even look at him though. They could still discuss that once Emmy had disappeared into the living room o upstairs. When they were alone, she could wrap Oliver around her little finger anyway.
“Yes,” Emmy replied casually and shrugged her shoulders, “he broke up with me.”
Felicity could feel Oliver’s muscles tensing. He hadn’t been too fond that Emmy had a boyfriend although he had needed to admit that Jacob was a nice boy. The only thing worse than Emmy having a boyfriend was that boyfriend breaking up with her and breaking her heart with it.
“Oh, Sweetie,” Felicity said, leaving Oliver’s side to go to Emmy and hug her, “I am so sorry.”
Emmy let herself be held by Felicity for a moment. Soon, she pulled away though. Looking at her mother, she shrugged her shoulders.
“I don’t have time for someone who doesn’t do what I say anyway.”
Felicity perked up her eyebrows, surprised by how easily Emmy accepted this break-up and almost a little surprised by how strong-willed she was. What could sound like Emmy was a little tyrant when it came to being in a relationship, actually calmed Felicity down a little. Too many people lost themselves in a relationship. As long as Emmy knew what she wanted and putting that over her relationship, Felicity guessed she would find her way to happiness eventually.
Chuckling, Felicity looked at Oliver and slapped his chest playfully.
“That’s like it is with us.”
Oliver narrowed his eyes at her half-heartedly. He tried to be angry with her, at least a little bit. Years of experience told him that he wouldn’t succeed even if he tried his best. Oliver was just incapable of even pretending to be angry with Felicity.
“I want to graduate high school and college early like mom,” Emmy added eventually, “so I don’t have time for stupid boys anyway.”
She rolled her eyes and shook her head. In Emmy’s mind, all boys would probably be stupid for a while. It would take he some time to realize that it wasn’t true. Boys could behave stupidly from time to time and some boys even were stupid, but that wasn’t the case for all boys.
“I will go upstairs,” Emmy said after a moment, shrugging her shoulders, “to unpack my bag and maybe take a nap.”
“Aw, look at that, Felicity,” Oliver said, putting his hand to his heart, “our daughter is napping just because she wants to.”
Emmy rolled her eyes and groaned dramatically. With that, she turned around and went upstairs. Oliver and Felicity stayed in the kitchen, chuckling about their daughter’s behavior. Since she had been a toddler and able to speak, she had denied that she ever needed a nap. She had hated naptime as much as most toddler. Now, she hated being teased about the things she had said and done when she had been a toddler like most children at her age.
Still chuckling, Felicity turned around to Oliver. Leaning against his chest like she loved to do so much, she wrapped her arms around his middle. She angled her head back as far as possible, so she could look right at Oliver’s face. Seeing that he was looking at her with slightly narrowed eyes and pursed lips, Felicity perked up her eyebrows.
“What?” she asked. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You knew that Jacob was on that party?”
“Of course I did,” Felicity replied matter-of-factly, “because I am a good mother. Good mothers know what other kids are on a slumber party that their kid is invited to.”
“So, if you knew, why didn’t you tell me?”
Felicity chuckled, stroking her hands up and down Oliver’s chest. She was pretty sure that Oliver already knew why she hadn’t told him. Parenting was just so incredibly hard, and it was good to always take one step at a time.
“I didn’t tell you because I know exactly what kind of thoughts would have been going on in your mind,” Felicity told him, patting cheek playfully, “and I really wanted all your pervert thoughts to be focused all on me last night.”
“I wouldn’t have had any pervert thoughts when I had known that Jacob and Emmy were spending the night together.”
Felicity could almost watch Oliver progressing his own choice of words. He scrunched up his nose, realizing the implications behind these words in a different context. He shook his head quickly.
“They are kids,” Oliver said eventually, “so the idea of anything happening there is just ridiculous.”
“And still you cannot help imagining what will be in a couple of years when Emmy is a little older.”
Oliver moved his hand through his short hair. His fingernails scratched over his scalp lightly. The breath he was taking in trembled slightly.
“It’s a good thing that it will take another few years,” Oliver said with a sigh, “because I am really not ready yet.”
Felicity chuckled and kissed the edge of his jaw. She knew how hard it was on Oliver to admit that there were fatherly duties or whatever to call it that he couldn’t handle yet. He just wanted to be a really great father, and it was the same for Felicity. She wanted them to rock at parents because they were already putting a lot on their children with the life they had been born into.
“Neither am I,” Felicity admitted with a sigh, “but we will be once the time comes.”
Oliver smiled, nodding his head. “Yes, we will be.”
They sealed that agreement with a kiss, knowing that they would always be ready when the kids needed them to be ready. At the end, that was all that mattered anyway.
