Album Review: Robby Krieger & the Soul Savages - Robby Krieger & the Soul Savages

The name has changed though the music holds steady on the self-titled debut from Robby Krieger & the Soul Savages.

The 10-track instrumental LP finds the titular composer and former Doors guitarist leading keyboardist Ed Roth, bassist Kevin “Brandino” Brandon and drummer Franklin Vanderbilt across the funk-flavored landscape of the fusion Krieger’s explored for decades on such titles as “Shark Skin Suit,” “Contrary Motion” and “Math Problem.”

Krieger plays slide, traditional leads and chorded rhythm against his tight band. And though it fails to reach the highs of 2020’s Zappaesque the Ritual Begins at Sundown, Robby Krieger & the Soul Savages nevertheless peaks on the neo-soul of “A Day in L.A.” and the funky strut of “Bouncy Betty;” “Ricochet Rabbit,” is meanwhile easily confused as an outtake from Steely Dan’s Gaucho sessions.

What it might lack in consistent listener electrification across its 45-minute runtime, Robby Krieger & the Soul Savages makes up for with a former psychedelic warrior sporting - and still sounding fine in - a different swirl of aural colors.

Minor Changes

In my exploration of Dickinson’s sensitivity to and use of tonal qualities and shifts provided through different types of rhyme, I posted two poems recently which play on the term “minor.”  Yesterday, I posted one of them, “Further in Summer than the birds,” a poem which has some interesting bits of trivia associated with it.

First, there are six variations of this poem, and the longest version (with seven stanzas) was sent to Gertrude Vanderbilt.

And are you ready for this?

R. W. Franklin’s research states that this long version of the poem “was sent to Gertrude Vanderbilt, who was seriously injured in 1864 when shot by a suitor her maid had rejected.  During her recovery, ED sent several poems, including this one, signed ‘Emily,’ about late summer 1865.”

Say what?

My first exploration into “Gertrude Vanderbilt” led me to the Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney who founded the Whitney Museum in New York City, but this was not the correct Gertrude Vanderbilt (as she was not born until 1875).

Further research led me to Gertrude Lefferts Vanderbilt, and I discovered this information:

“The poem…(referred) to as the Vanderbilt variant of ‘Further in Summer than the Birds’ takes its name from its first reader, Gertrude Lefferts Vanderbilt (1824 – 1902) of Evans 8 Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, to whom Dickinson mailed the poem during the summer of 1865. Although Dickinson and Vanderbilt likely never met in person, they knew each other through Dickinson’s close friend and sister-in-law Susan Dickinson, with whom Vanderbilt went to school. Vanderbilt suffered a near-fatal gunshot wound, a scandalous event that drew national attention. In what the Brooklyn Eagle and the Springfield Republican called ‘an attempt at revenge,’ a farm laborer named William Cutter, the spurned suitor of Vanderbilt’s servant Anne Walker, attacked and shot both Walker and Vanderbilt. Perhaps to aid Vanderbilt during her recovery, Dickinson sent four letter-poems to Vanderbilt during the year after her injury. The Vanderbilt variant of ‘Further in Summer than the Birds’ was one of them.”

And get this – another strange twist to the “Vanderbilt variant”:  

“For more than eighty years, scholars believed that the earliest version of Emily Dickinson’s ‘Further in Summer than the Birds,’ a major mid-career poem often regarded as ‘one of Dickinson’s finest’ (McSweeney 155) and ‘best-known poems,’ had been lost (Franklin, ‘The Manuscripts’ 552). They only knew of the existence of this elusive variant because Dickinson’s first editor, Mabel Loomis Todd, made a transcript in the 1890s, marking the last recorded sighting of Dickinson’s original manuscript before its mysterious disappearance…Yet, against all odds, the manuscript survived, resurfacing miraculously at Ella Strong Denison Library, the special collections library at Scripps College in Claremont, California, in 1986, exactly a century after Dickinson’s death.”

Dissatisfied with the final five stanzas, Dickinson substituted two new ones which created a four-stanza version that, with a few changes, prevailed after that.

Dickinson included this shortened version in a letter to Thomas Wentworth Higginson in 1866 in which she told him that her beloved dog “Carlo died”; she asked, “Would you instruct me now?”

Seventeen years later, in 1883, the poet returned to the poem and made two further copies.  In March 1883 she enclosed a two stanza version of the poem in a letter to Thomas Niles, referring to this one as “My Cricket” (i.e., a member of the “minor Nation” in line 3 that celebrates its “unobtrusive Mass”).  

Another version was prepared for Mabel Loomis Todd.  It also included a cricket wrapped in a piece of paper.

ONE LAST THING TO WONDER ABOUT:  When I Google-searched “Gertrude Lefferts Vanderbilt,” an entry popped up involving Edith Wharton’s novel “The Age of Innocence.”  In a list of “Minor Characters” from the book (hmm��there’s that word “minor” again), I spotted a character by the name of “Lawrence Lefferts,” a wealthy young man and a member of Archer's social circle, and his wife – who suspects that he is having an affair – is Mrs. Gertrude Lefferts,

Do you think that the “Gertrude Lefferts” in the book, written in 1920, has any connection at all to “Gertrude Lefferts Vanderbilt”? The time period highlighted in the book is the 1870s; Gertrude Lefferts, 1824 - 1902, lived in Brooklyn, and Edith Wharton grew up in New York City.

The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control

It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do. 

ROBERT REICH

DEC 20

Friends,

Today we don’t know if the United States government will shut down tomorrow because, first, Elon Musk followed by his co-president Donald Trump, persuaded House Republicans to vote against a compromise bill, and then, last night, Republicans couldn’t summon enough votes for a stripped-down continuing resolution because Trump insisted that it contain a measure lifting the debt ceiling. 

This is not governing. Trump and the Republicans are not a governing party.

What’s the back story to all this? It’s the oligarchy that put Trump into the presidency.

A half-century ago, when America had a large and growing middle class, those on the “left” wanted stronger social safety nets and more public investment in schools, roads, and research. Those on the “right” sought greater reliance on the free market. 

But as power and wealth have moved to the top, everyone else — whether on the old right or the old left — has become disempowered and less secure. 

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The word “oligarchy” comes from the Greek words meaning rule (arche) by the few (oligos). It refers to a government of and by a few exceedingly rich people or families who control the major institutions of society — and therefore have most power over other peoples’ lives. 

So far, Trump has picked 13 billionaires for his administration. It’s the wealthiest in history, including the richest person in the world. They and Trump are part of the American oligarchy, even though Trump campaigned on being the “voice” of the working class. 

America’s two previous oligarchies

America has experienced oligarchy twice before. Many of the men who founded America were slaveholding white oligarchs. At that time, the new nation did not have much of a middle class. Most white people were farmers, indentured servants, farm hands, traders, day laborers, and artisans. A fifth of the American population was Black, almost all of them enslaved.

A century later a new American oligarchy emerged comprised of men who amassed fortunes through their railroad, steel, oil, and financial empires — men such as J. Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Andrew Mellon. It was called the Gilded Age. 

They ushered the nation into an industrial revolution that vastly expanded economic output. But they also corrupted government, brutally suppressed wages, generated unprecedented levels of inequality and urban poverty, pillaged rivals, shut down competitors, and made out like bandits — which is why they earned the sobriquet “robber barons.”

World War I and the Great Depression of the 1930s eroded most of the robber barons’ wealth, and much of their power was eliminated with the elections of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 and Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. 

America demanded fundamental reforms — a progressive income tax, corporate taxes, estate taxes, limits on the political power of large corporations, antitrust laws, laws enabling workers to form unions and requiring that employers negotiate with them, Social Security, the forty-hour workweek, unemployment insurance, civil rights and voting rights, and Medicare. 

For the next half-century, the gains from growth were more widely shared and democracy became more responsive to the needs and aspirations of average Americans. During these years America created the largest middle class the world had ever seen. 

There was still much to do: wider economic opportunities for Black people, Latinos, and women, protection of the environment. Yet by almost every measure the nation was making progress.

America’s current oligarchy

Starting around 1980, a third American oligarchy emerged. 

Since then, the median wage of the bottom 90 percent has stagnated. The share of the nation’s wealth owned by the richest 400 Americans has quadrupled (from less than 1 percent to 3.5 percent) while the share owned by the entire bottom half of America has dropped to 1.3 percent, according to an analysis by my Berkeley colleagues Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman. 

The richest 1 percent of Americans now has more wealth than the bottom 90 percent combined.

The only other country with similarly high levels of wealth concentration is Russia, another oligarchy. 

All this has been accompanied by a dramatic increase in the political power of the super-wealthy and an equally dramatic decline in the political influence of everyone else. 

While the Biden administration sought to realign America with its ideals, it did not and could not accomplish nearly enough. Trump’s lies and demagoguery exploited the anger and frustration of much of America — creating the false impression he was a tribune of the working class and an anti-establishment hero — thereby allowing the oligarchy to triumph. 

In 2022, Elon Musk spent $44 billion to buy Twitter and turn it into his own personal political megaphone. Then, in 2024, he spent $277 million to get Trump elected, also using Twitter (now X) to amplify pro-Trump, anti-Harris messages. 

These were good investments for Musk. Since Election Day, Musk’s fortune has increased by $170 billion. That’s because investors in Tesla and SpaceX have pushed their value into the stratosphere. 

Trump has put Musk (and another billionaire, Vivek Ramaswamy) in charge of gutting government services in the name of “efficiency.” Musk’s investors assume that Musk will eliminate the health, safety, labor, and environmental regulations that have limited the profits of Musk-owned corporations, and that Trump will put more government money into SpaceX and xAI (Musk’s artificial intelligence company). 

Unlike income or wealth, power is a zero-sum game. The more of it at the top, the less of it anywhere else.

The power shift across America is related to a tsunami of big money into politics. Corporate lobbying has soared. The voices of average people have been drowned out. 

The American oligarchy is back, with a vengeance. 

Not all wealthy people are culpable, of course. The abuse is occurring at the nexus of wealth and power, where those with great wealth use it to gain power and then utilize that power to accumulate more wealth. Today’s robber barons include Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Charles Koch, Jeff Yass, Ken Griffin, and Rupert Murdoch. 

What the new oligarchy wants

This is how oligarchy destroys democracy. As oligarchs fill the coffers of political candidates and deploy platoons of lobbyists and public relations flaks, they buy off democracy. Oligarchs know that politicians won’t bite the hands that feed them. 

As long as they control the purse strings, there will be no meaningful response to the failure of most people’s paychecks to rise, nor to climate change, nor racism, nor the soaring costs of health insurance, pharmaceuticals, college, and housing, because those are not the main concerns of the oligarchy.

The oligarchs want lower taxes, which is what Trump, Musk, and other oligarchs are planning — an extension of the 2017 Trump tax cut, with an estimated price tag of at least $5 trillion. 

They want no antitrust enforcement to puncture the power of their giant corporations. Instead, their corporations will grow larger, able to charge consumers even more. Trump is replacing Lina Khan, the trustbusting chair of the Federal Trade Commission, with a Trump crony. 

There will be no meaningful constraint on Wall Street’s dangerous gambling addiction. The gambling will only increase. 

Wall Street is already celebrating Trump’s victory. The stock market has reached new heights. But the stock market is inconsequential for most people, because the richest 1 percent own over half of all shares of stock owned by Americans while the richest 10 percent own over 90 percent. 

There will be no limits to CEO pay. Wall Street hedge fund and private equity managers will also rake in billions more. Government will dole out even more corporate subsidies, bailouts, and loan guarantees while eliminating protections for consumers, workers, and the environment. 

It will become a government for, of, and by the oligarchy.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted.

The propagandists and demagogues who protect the oligarchy stoke racial and ethnic resentments — describing human beings as illegal aliens, fueling hatred of immigrants, and spreading fears of communists and socialists. 

This strategy gives the oligarchy freer rein: It distracts Americans from how the oligarchy is looting the nation, buying off politicians, and silencing critics. It causes Americans to hate each other so we don’t look upward and see where the wealth and power have really gone. 

The necessary agenda

The way to overcome oligarchy is for the rest of us to join together and win America back, as we did in response to the oligarchy that dominated America’s last Gilded Age. 

This will require a multiracial, multiethnic coalition of working-class, poor, and middle-class Americans fighting for democracy and against concentrated power and privilege. 

It will require that the Democratic Party, or a new third party, tell the truth to the American people: that the major reason most peoples’ wages have gone nowhere and their jobs are less secure, why most families have to live paycheck to paycheck, why CEO pay has soared to 300 times the pay of the typical worker, and why billionaires are about to run our government, is because the market has been rigged against average working people by the oligarchy. 

The agenda ahead is simply stated but it will not be easy to implement: We must get big money out of our politics. End corporate welfare and crony capitalism. Bust up monopolies. Stop voter suppression. 

We must strengthen labor unions, give workers a stronger voice in their workplaces, create more employee-owned corporations, encourage worker cooperatives, fund and grow more state and local public banks, and develop other institutions of economic democracy.

This agenda is neither “right” nor “left.” It is the bedrock for everything else America must do.

It may seem an odd time in our history to suggest such reforms, but this is the best time. Trump and his oligarchy will inevitably overreach. The lesson from the last Gilded Age is that when the corruption and ensuing hardship become so blatant that they offend the values of the majority of Americans, the majority will rise up and demand real, systemic change.

It’s only a matter of time. A government shutdown that hurts average people, engineered by the richest person in the world, might just hasten it.

Robert Reich wrote a solid piece that the American oligarchy is back in full force.

[lboogie1906]

Helen LaFrance (November 2, 1919 – November 20, 2020) was a self-taught artist born in Graves County, Kentucky, the second of four daughters to James Franklin Orr and Lillie May Ligon Orr. Known for her captures of the disappearing lifestyle of the rural South. She has been referred to as “the Black Grandma Moses.” She painted powerful and intensely spiritual visionary interpretations of the Bible, in a style that differed radically from her memory paintings.

She attended formal school for about three years but left to work on the farm. Her first painting depicting a large gray rabbit was created on the back of a leftover piece of wallpaper using watercolors given to her by her aunt. She left home to take various jobs in a hospital, caring for children, cooking, working in the tobacco barns and a ceramic factory where she decorated brand-name whiskey bottles. She made enough money to buy art supplies at the grocery store and began painting full-time.

She was an exceptional quilt maker and wood carver of animal sculptures and articulated dolls with handmade textile clothing. She shared the traditions of family and church and the values she grew up with, and recollections of coon hunts, fishing, planting and picking cotton and tobacco, growing flowers and using their petals for paint, the general merchandise store, barn dances, the circus, fish fries, family reunions, and church picnics where the community gathered together.

She created 28 religious paintings, inspired by the verses she read in a dramatic visionary style and divergent from her better-known works due to their explosive colors, themes, and size. A selection of these paintings was included in “Helen LaFrance: Kentucky Woman,” an exhibition that ran at the prestigious Speed Art Museum. The inaugural exhibit of these allegorical paintings took place at Vanderbilt University. Sponsored by the Divinity School’s Religion in the Arts & Contemporary Culture program, these images had never been displayed to the public. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Former Major League Baseball star helps coach young players in Franklin

Nashville, TN has been buzzing with thought-provoking news, particularly in the realm of sports. In line with that, a standout story features Showtime Sports Academy, which distinguishes itself from typical batting cages. Moreover, this uniqueness is largely due to co-owner Glen Johnson, an exceptional batting coach. Glen shared with News 2, "It's been my whole life, and obviously my dad's, for a long time."

BABE PALEY

BABE PALEY

5 July 1915 - 6 July 1978

TRUMAN CAPOTE’s SWAN

            Babe Paley (Barbara Paley) was an American magazine editor and socialite. She was known for her fashion sense and was honoured on the Best Dressed List.

            Paley was born in Boston, Massachusetts, US, and was the daughter of a brain surgeon. She and her sisters, Mary and Betsey were known as the ‘Fabulous Cushing Sisters’, Babe’s debut was in 1934 which was attended by the sons of Roosevelt. Betsey married James Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s son.

            Paley was married twice, whilst working at Vogue magazine she met Stanley Mortimer Jr. an oil heir from a wealthy New York family and the couple married in 1940. The couple had two children and then they divorced in 1946. Their daughter Amanda married Carter Burden Jr. from the Vanderbilt family. Babe had neglected her children and concentrated on socialising and her extravagant lifestyle.

In 1946, Babe met William Paley “Pasha” who was married to Dorothy Hearts (wife of John Hearst). Paley was wealthy and divorced his wife in 1947 to marry Babe. The couple had two children together but Babe experienced loneliness during the marriage due to her husband’s constant infidelities.

            Babe is best known due to writer Truman Capote, who was close friends. Capote befriended wealthy upper-class women and called them his ‘swans’. Capote wrote a book named ‘Answered Prayers’ which exposed his friend’s secrets, under ‘fiction’. After reading the book, Truman’s swans had nothing to do with him again.

            Babe found out she had lung cancer in 1974 due to heavy smoking. She planned her funeral and the funeral luncheon. She died a day after her 63rd birthday and Truman wasn’t invited to her funeral.

Moses McKissack III (May 8, 1879 – December 12, 1952) was an architect. He had his architecture firm McKissack Company (1905-22) and was active in Tennessee and Alabama. In a partnership with his brother Calvin Lunsford McKissack, they founded the architecture firm McKissack & McKissack in 1922.

He was born in Pulaski, Tennessee. He had six brothers. His father Gabriel Moses McKissack II was a carpenter and builder, and his mother was Dolly Ann (née Maxwell).

He apprenticed in construction drawings for 5 years. He attended classes at Springfield College and obtained architectural degrees through a correspondence course.

He built houses in Decatur, Alabama; Mount Pleasant, Tennessee; and Columbia, Tennessee. His first document client was Granberry Jackson Sr., the Dean of Architecture and Engineering at Vanderbilt University. He designed many other residences for faculty at Vanderbilt University. The firm’s first major project was the design of the Fisk University Carnegie Library. Its cornerstone was laid in 1908 by William Howard Taft. Major projects designed by him included the main campus building for the Turner Normal and Industrial School for Negroes, dormitories for Roger Williams University, and Lane College.

He married Miranda P. Winter (1912) together they had six sons.

The McKissack brothers became two of the first registered architects in the state.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him to the White House Conference on Housing Problems. They received a large federal government contract to build and design the 99th Pursuit Squadron (Tuskegee Airmen) Air Base. The Air Base contract was the largest federal contract ever awarded to an African American company. The brothers were each awarded the Spaulding Medal by the National Negro Business League.

The McKissack family helped build the city of Nashville, The McKissack Park neighborhood, the McKissack Park, and McKissack Middle School. Several McKissack buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the US National Park Service. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphaphialpha
