REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 6th October 2019

Now it may not seem like a busy week to cover today since we have barely three new arrivals this week, but it is a pretty important one as I think we’ve finally reached the Winter season in terms of our UK Top 40 chart, with new hits that debuted during the Autumn season becoming smash hits and potential success are just now starting to gain traction. This should be most evident in our top 10.

Top 10

We finally have a new #1 this week and it’s exactly the song I predicted would reach this spot last week, Tones and I’s first #1 hit on the UK Singles Chart, “Dance Monkey”, up six spots from last week to reach this spot. In my opinion, the song’s relatively underwhelming and is just okay, but congratulations to Tones and I for her first #1 hit regardless, although without another hit bubbling under this song or even on the rise, I do have doubts about her future longevity on the singles chart... but we’ll see.

Another potential #1 hit from a new and unexpected artist is “Ride It” by DJ Regard, up three spaces to number-two, featuring a heavily-remixed vocal sample of Jay Sean. I really hope this hits the top but “Dance Monkey” is incredibly dominant right now so time will tell.

When I said change is most evident in the top ten, maybe I should have said top two as the highest songs in the chart are still pretty stagnant right now, although most of it has increased in its chart performance thanks to the collapse of last week’s #1. “Ladbroke Grove” by AJ Tracey is up a spot to number-three.

At number-four, we have “Taste (Make it Shake)” by Aitch down two spots from last week. Its longevity still surprises and impresses me.

Also down two positions from last week is “Higher Love” by Kygo and the late Whitney Houston at number-five, unfortunately making me quite doubtful for its chance to hit #1 as I expected.

Interesting, “Circles” by Post Malone has rebounded three spaces up to number-six.

“Sorry” by Joel Corry featuring uncredited vocals from Hayley May is somehow still here, down only a single space to number-seven.

Dominic Fike’s “3 Nights” isn’t moving at number-eight.

Re-peaking at number-nine is “Strike a Pose” by Young T & Bugsey with Aitch, up a position from last week.

Finally, rounding off our top 10 is Lil Tecca, with “RAN$OM”, up one space to #10.

Climbers

There are very few climbers here and what few songs there are that climbed are either irrelevant and not notable or just plain bad, with “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi inexplicably returning to the top 20, jumping five spots up to #19, fitting tightly into both of those categories pretty well. Thanks to a music video release, Aitch’s “Buss Down” featuring ZieZie is also up 10 spaces to #25, amongst “God is a Dancer” by Tiesto and Mabel grooving up four chart positions off of the debut to #33, which means this may as well become a hit, and I am not pleased about that prospect at all.

Fallers

We have a couple spoonfuls of fallers here though and a quite a bit more than the gains as this has been one of many cool-down weeks recently on the UK Top 40 Singles Chart, especially recently where we have undergone a week without a single new arrival (Although this is not the case for this week, I feel I should clarify, as we have three to discuss). Those fallers, from reverse order, are: “Wiley Flow” by Stormzy down a whopping 17 spaces to #39, “Lalala” by Y2K and bbno$ knocking back down after a surge last week, down six to #38, the underperforming “boyfriend” by Social House featuring Ariana Grande down five to #34, “Harder” by Jax Jones featuring Bebe Rexha is down six to #32, “Sunflower” by Post Malone and Swae Lee from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack is down four to #31, “Senorita” by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello is also down four to #24, “Goodbyes” by Post Malone featuring Young Thug takes a five-space hit to #23, “Don’t Call Me Angel” by Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey from the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack is down six to #18, only TWO weeks after its debut at #2, and finally, evidently thanks to streaming cuts that would damage British rap heavily, “Take Me Back to London” by Ed Sheeran featuring Stormzy and remixed by Sir Spyro featuring Aitch and Jaykae, is down 12 spaces to #13, after its sixth week at #1, which is a pretty big drop but far from the biggest drop from #1.

Dropouts & Returning Entries

Lewis Capaldi is pushing “Bruises” as his next single, which is fine, and complimented with a video meant it returned to #11 on this week’s chart, however the BBC website claims that the song is by Lil Tecca and has an amateur cover art that looks very much NOT like either Tecca or Lewis Capaldi, but does remind me of Blueface’s original “Thotiana” artwork, despite the man on the cover not looking like Blueface at all. Huh.

In terms of drop-outs we actually have quite a few important exits, such as “I Don’t Care” by Ed Sheeran featuring Justin Bieber dropping out finally from #34 and even “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus out from #36, as well as “Location” by Dave featuring Burna Boy once again dropping out from #39. Oh, yeah, and “Sounds of the Skeng” by Stormzy is out from #40 but it’ll probably be back soon.

NEW ARRIVALS

#40 – “South of the Border” – Ed Sheeran featuring Camila Cabello and Cardi B

Produced by Ed Sheeran, Fred Gibson and Steve Mac – Peaked at #7 in Finland and #53 in the US

Ed Sheeran has released another single from his No. 6 Collaborations Project as soon as “Take Me Back to London” fell off the #1, perhaps in an attempt to attract more US success with Cardi and Cabello’s contributions, and it comes with a video, and it’s Ed Sheeran’s 41st UK Top 40 hit (which is insane), and it’s Camila Cabello’s 11th UK Top 40 hit, and it’s Cardi B’s 11th too, and it’s not worth your time... at all. The pathetic Latin guitar compared with some MIDI-ass flute makes for a pretty generic tropical house beat from 2015, so making Ed Sheeran sing about bilingual sex over it doesn’t exactly scream for the best combination and yeah, it’s awful. “Come south of the border with me”? Jesus Christ. Camila Cabello is barely keeping words in to fit the meter, and her squealing triplet flow is intensely annoying, which is unfortunate because I do like her “rrrr!” ad-libs and the melody in the chorus, while not particularly innovative, is catchy. Cardi B exists here too, and her verse sounds like Wiz Khalifa on “Payphone”, with just as much as empty space yet a tad more actual rhyme. Her last line here about dropping babies and albums but never dropping the ball was kind of cool though. Otherwise, yeah, this is worthless.

#37 – “Turn Me On” – Riton and Oliver Heldens featuring Vula

Produced by Riton and Oliver Heldens

Who and who featuring who? Good question, let’s go through them. Riton is an English Grammy-nominated house producer with a close working relationship with Mark Ronson, who actually had his song “Rinse & Repeat” with Kah-lo peak at #13 back in 2016, meaning this is his second UK Top 40 hit. Oliver Heldens is probably the biggest artist here, as he released the massive hit “Gecko (Overdrive)” with Becky Hill that debuted at #1 way back in 2014, becoming the last sales-only UK #1. It also had a really strange music video. He had a two other hits in 2014 and 2016, including the #5 hit “Last All Night (Koala)” with KStewart, but since 2016’s “The Right Song” with Tiesto and Natalie La Rose, the well ran dry for Heldens until 2019, where he both collaborated with Nile Rodgers and made this song. I’m pretty sure this Zula guy is Ledri Zula, who has had a couple minor EDM successes in the past solo and with G4SHI, but he doesn’t have a chart history of even Wikipedia page. I may be completely wrong about that by the way, so I’ll edit that in later if I am (Edit: Ledri Zula’s a dude, this singer sounds like a woman. I think I’m wrong). Regardless, it’s Riton’s second UK Top 40 hit, Heldens’ fourth and Zula’s first. An interesting fact about this song is its sample of “Don’t Go” by Yazoo, which was a worldwide hit in 1982. Yazoo themselves are a duo of Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode, and from what I’ve heard, they’re pretty good, with “Don’t Go” having a particularly memorable synth riff that even those who have never heard of the song or Yazoo will know, mostly because it’s featured in the film Tango & Cash, as well as Grand Theft Auto and Dance Dance Revolution... and a Family Guy episode, which is where I vaguely recalled it from, which is kind of sad. Ritton and Heldens incorporate the synth riff as a replacement of the vocaloid drop of sorts... oh, yeah, and the song’s pretty good. I’m not usually a fan of the derivative house-pop that appears on the charts ever so often by acts like Sigala and Jax Jones but I’m not going to lie: that synth riff bangs in any context, especially with the plodding bassline behind it. Vula’s vocals are pretty sweet and include a lot of necessary sass to ride the groove here, and that’s all I can say really. I can see this shrinking on me because it could grow annoying but for now, this is pretty cool. Check it out.

#21 – “Playing for Keeps” – D-Block Europe featuring Dave

Produced by ???

Ah, D-Block Europe, back again, once again collaborating with a rapper who’s definitely of slightly high calibre, although keeping it local with Dave instead of Lil Baby like last time. Now it might seem like I really hate these guys but I actually love whenever these guys show up because they just give me all of the ammo themselves. I don’t need to make any observations because they’re so blatantly awful in a way I never need to analyse... hence I overanalyse. On the surface level this is just pretty generic British melodic trap-rap but once you dig into the lyrics of their 28-song long album that debuted at #4 this week on the albums chart, you really get into the D-Block Europe lore. Yeah, no, but this is D-Block Europe’s fifth top 40 hit on the chart and Dave’s 14th, and well, I think they might perhaps be improving as this isn’t that bad of a song, at least in comparison to last week’s confusing trainwreck that was “Nookie” with Lil Baby, with a vague, minimalistic guitar-lead beat produced by... someone. Although the vocals do come in incredibly abruptly after what sounds an avant-garde sound collage intro, with a pre-chorus that just... shrivels up into itself for one measure before the beat comes back and it just sounds really odd. Young Adz’s flow is melodic and could sound better if the beat was either competent or equally melodic as there’s barely another instrument here that isn’t an 808 or a drum. Dave sounds... stilted, as he really can’t translate his style to this beat. He also sounds jarring against Dirtbike LB who is really quiet in the mix and also in the unconfident sense, with a pretty non-existent flow, in fact, he might have the worst verse here, but overall, this is a really dreary single, it’s really dull and I’m honestly disputing the fact that it exists.

Oh, yeah, it’s D-Block Europe, so let’s talk about some of the worst lyrics here, except Young Adz doesn’t deliver the awful lyrics this time. In fact, his verse is probably the best here, with a pretty fun opening line:

.44 bells, you can’t go to war with a stun gun / We all spilt blood for these cunch-blocks, hella dumb-dumbs

If you’re wondering what “cunch-block” means, it literally means “D-block”, as in places where they sold drugs. Although he ends the verse with a misguided attempt at being intimidating, which was abandoned soon after.

When you catch a case or you go to jail, they’ll never miss you / Broski, I love you like cooked food, swear on mummy, I’ll never diss you

“I love you like cooked food” is about as sweet as “I love you like a fat kid loves cake”. Dave sounds really awkward here as well, and his usually fast-paced yet bluntly delivered flow allows for the nonsensical or cringeworthy puns to be a lot more digestible, but here, he slows down and the inexplicable wordplay is just... confusing.

I’m in D2, that’s Dan on deen, nothing to do with a mosque

Huh? Also, is Dirtbike LB okay? Like, Young Adz doesn’t exactly sound ecstatic but LB’s verse here is delivered in the saddest way imaginable and his lyrics aren’t happy at all, in fact, his verse sounds the worst but you could argue he has the best content here.

Scars all over my body like I went to war with the devil himself / I have a [gnarly dude] put one in your head, have your neighbours say, “Get him some help!” / Hard to be focused and righteous when you feel like you’re living in Hell / Just put a brick on the scales, wish me well

This is actually a good half of the verse and while short, it’s quite poignant, it’s just that the first half is this:

Girl, I waited all night just to taste this / Tell the truth, I’m faded

Sigh... never change, D-Block. Never change. Also, why the hell is the video for this over nine minutes?

Conclusion

You know what? I’ll give the benefit of me not expecting anything at all of quality to D-Block Europe, as they’re somehow staying safe and not gaining the title of Worst of the Week, as that’s going to Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello and Cardi B for the waste of time that is “South of the Border”, and I guess Best of the Week has to go to the nobodies with the relatively decent song, as Riton, Oliver Heldens and the Vula who I still don’t have a face to match with, get it for “Turn Me On”. You’re lucky that Yazoo let you clear that sample. Follow me on Twitter @cactusinthebank and I’ll see you next week!

Note

Tell me about your bard PC.

A human (variant because honestly that feat is a good thing to have, I chose prodigy for the record) bard from a minor Noble family. He is named Jahn Bon’Jovee pronounced like Jon Bon Jovi (it was a filler name at first but others in the group liked it so I am running with it and embraced it). Just to copy the backstory from my profile to here so I don’t have to rewrite it yet:

“A member of the Bon’Jovee family, a side family of the noble Jaque’Synne (Jackson like Michael) family. Jahn is the son of the Earl of the Earldom of Preslee. As a member of the side family, he holds much less sway or power than a main member, but he is still not to be trifled with especially as while they may be a side family they still have an earldom. Jahn was the second son and therefore not the direct heir to the Earldom but still got nice access to the family fortune.

He decided from a young age that his dream would be the fine art of music, pursuing to become a bard-something looked upon oddly by his family but not looked down on and supported for a few reasons. He became an apprentice to Bil'Leroy Zyruss (Billy Ray Cyrus, a reference I actually changed before I was talked into changing it back), a skilled court bard. Along with this he was educated by great tutors in other areas-with a lot of interest in history especially as he saw it as a great potential muse for his works.

Jahn had later left home-purely for the sake of traveling and exploring the world, nothing too important or diplomatic or anything. On the way he was in a horrible carriage incident which left his mentor injured and a maid dead as well as wounding him. Though he healed up, Bil'Leroy’s arms were too injured to continue teaching Jahn, but he had a colleague who he sent Jahn to in order to continue training once he was fully healed.

At the start of the story, Jahn is in a nice hotel in a nice part of the city with his new tutor, Donny Rames Jio. (Ronnie James Dio. Also a meta note that Jahn is already considered part of the college of lore he just doesn’t get bonuses until level 3, choosing AT level 3 while traveling seems silly)”

Personality wise he is a very…jarring character. I made him with an almost Kaiba like personality but also more of an attention whore.

“Kind of a twat. He was a noble and a musical prodigy so he is VERY full of himself. His ego is so big that he needs to rent two hotel rooms while traveling-one for himself and one for his ego, and because of his wealth he could afford both rooms easily. He isn’t that easy to get along with on a personal level as he sees himself as a step above others. Though he was trained in proper diplomacy so he tries to not be outright rude, and drops his haughtiness around other nobility.

He does support others in combat and heals, because he sees both as further reasons to be praised. An ally who doesn’t properly praise and thank him may find themselves a bit short on his support in the next conflict. But as long as you appease him he can be useful. He can also be overly easy to flatter, which can work against him.

Jahn is surprisingly practical with cash, though not too tight on his purse. He will buy stuff but not burn through his money without it being on something that could help him out a lot in the long run.

In his studies he focused a lot on music of course, but also history and folklore. He uses this knowledge a lot as inspiration.”

I’m definitely planning on developing him over the course of this to be less coarse but not TOTALLY softened up. His reason for joining is still not certain as we haven’t worked all that out BUT the DM set up a mysterious watchers who handpicked the characters for whatever reasons to try and give an easy start since three of the four players are doing their first DND campaign.

He knows Common of course and learned Elvish due to his family’s Earldom having a connection to nearby elves on a political and trade level. He studied Abyssal on a whimful desire to learn an ancient, otherwordly language, choosing between it and others like Celestial and Deep Speech purely at random. Later he learned Orcish because he just enjoyed the way it sounded. On a meta level I chose them a bit on a whim but still with a theme of one for various styles of music lol, Common being versatile but especially pop-ish, Elvish being classical, Abyssal being metal because it’s so deep, and Orcish being rock.

Musically, he prefers string instruments, having proficiency with the lute(which is his instrument of choice), lyre, and viol. He is also skilled in dragonchess (whatever that is, it said to choose a game or whatever so I chose dragonchess for having a badass name but it’ll likely never pop up in game). He fights with a mixture of his magic and rapiers, which he is decently trained in. After a lot of deliberation I decided on his cantrips to be Minor Illusion to show off some creativity and Vicious Mockery because making a bard without Vicious Mockery makes no sense. His level 1 spells are Bane, Dissonant Whisper, Healing Word, and Thunderwave.

We are going to actually roll stats before the game but I did put in a sample standard array with 8 Strength, 15 Dexterity, 12 constitution, 10 intelligence, 13 wisdom, and 16 Charisma, so whatever I roll will be put in roughly the same order for highest to lowest. Proficiencies in Dex and Charisma. He has proficiency in Acrobatics, Deception, History, Perception, Performance, Persuasion, and Sleight of Hand with Expertise in Performance.

Physically he is tall at 6′2″ but on the lean side at 180 lbs. His hair, skin, and nails are all well pampered and pristine. He has long brown hair that hangs free, a pale complexion, and blue eyes. I chose Chaotic Good as his alignment as he isn’t a villain and will work for the side of good, but he also is heavily into his own self interests.

Doing the Write Thing #16

So I’ve written 20k words over the past 16 days...

You know, that’s pretty solid.

Actually, scratch that--VERY solid.

I know my daily goal is 250, and as you’ve all probably noticed--I basically shred that goal and go above and beyond with each update. I assume some of you are wondering why I don’t just up the goal to 500 words or 1000, and to explain:

I like small, attainable goals. I’m an anxious human. Huge goals don’t really work for me. 250 words is so easy to attain in one writing session. And to be honest, I usually hit 250 words within the first 15 minutes of writing. If I’m having a busy day, and I can only start writing at 9, thinking to myself: hey, just write 250 words feels a lot better than saying: hey, you should probably write right now. I love this goal so much because I feel super accomplished when I surpass it. I intend to keep it at this number for a while (hence, why I’m not participating in Camp NaNoWriMo!).

But also: just a major thanks for reading and supporting these updates? Honestly, I wasn’t sure how well they’d be responded to. Hell, I was convinced no one would find these entertaining but me, but you guys seem to be enjoying them, which just means the world to me. Thank you. :) Honestly, you’re the reason I’m writing again, and writing DAILY. I can’t thank you enough.

In other news, it’s Clifford’s birthday today! (Clifford’s the MC in I’M DISAPPOINTED if you didn’t know, lol). Here’s a thing I shared on Instagram:

It definitely doesn’t beat what @sarahkelsiwrites did for the birthday though... She straight up learned (and performed) Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus for me LOL. (That song’s kind of a thing in the book. ;) Fun times.

Anyhow, on to the update!

Daily word count goal: 250

Words written: 2257

Total word count: 29 314

Okay, guys, I was literally at 20k 5 days ago and now I’m almost at 30k... THIS IS GREAT.

Total page count: 56

Songs played: I didn’t listen to music today!

Things to know: I had no idea what to write when I sat down. I had NO ideas and I guess more accurately, no idea how to get from point A to B (which I DO know). I sat around until 10:15ish trying to think of something, and then I was hit with an idea, and it was amazing! I love Pantsing this series gaahhhh. It kind of sucks that this will probably be the last book I ever fully Pants (:((( mega frowny face), because for books I plan on publishing, I REALLY prefer an outline for ease of editing. I’ll miss Pantsing though. Still a Pantser at heart. It’s weird thinking of all the random things I’ve accidentally/unintentionally foreshadowed while Pantsing... We had a long run.

How I felt: Pretty darn good.

Bad haiku to describe writing session: Productivity / Oh how much it means to me / Productivity

*snap snap*

(Also, that haiku just came to me with the perfect amount of syllables. Am I getting good at this or what?)

(Nah, I really am not...)

Rating of writing session out of 10 and why: Solid 9/10 because this scene was not something I planned AT ALL, and I just love that it happened. YAY!

On a scale from 1-10 my level of stoked-ness is: 10. I need to write the rest of this right now...

Lyrics to describe writing session: Two could be complete with out the rest of the world

--The Strokes, Red Light (First Impressions of Earth)

And by two I mean me and my laptop. Because life is so complete right now. Love you, Mercutio.

(My laptop’s name is Mercutio. I know. ALIVE IN TRIUMPH AND MERCUTIO SLAIN!)

GIF to describe writing session:

@ my laptop

Excerpt:

Oh dear.

Because Comedown Machine is life.

(And The Strokes puns are always great.)

(Tap Out is the first song off the album since probably no one knows this.)

^^^ That’s the album

(Lowkey stealing all of my pictures from my Instagram)

(Also: Comedown Machine is such a good album)

(Highly recommend)

(It’s a really different sound. Diggin’ it.)

(I say this like I’ve only just started listening to the album.)

(I’ve been listening to it for months.)

(My school has RCA brand microwaves, that have the same logo that’s on the album cover art, so every time I heat up food in ‘em, I play the album and talk really loudly about how the album matches the microwaves)

(Angsty microwaves)

^^^ microwaves @ my school

^^^ Album.

Okay that is all. See you later.

--Rachel

He’s an illustrator of children’s books. – Walter Dean Myers • Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err. – Euripides • Frank Capra was a prop man, I think. John Ford was a prop man. It was a little bit of a father and son thing, and you kind of worked your way up. – Francis Ford Coppola • Freud was the son of a Jewish merchant who had to move his whole family to Vienna because he couldn’t get work. He, as a boy, had to watch his father be mocked and abused on the street for being Jewish… You develop a thick skin and you develop a certain kind of wit to defend yourself. – Viggo Mortensen • From Mary we learn to surrender to God’s Will in all things. From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary we learn to love Christ her Son and the Son of God! – Pope John Paul II • From the sons of Ith, the first of the Gael to get his death in Ireland, there came in the after time Fathadh Canaan, that got the sway over the whole world from the rising to the setting sun, and that took hostages of the streams and the birds and the languages. – Lady Gregory • Go miser go, for money sell your soul. Trade wares for wares and trudge from pole to pole, So others may say when you are dead and gone. See what a vast estate he left his son. – John Dryden • Go on daddy-daughter dates and father-and-sons’ outings with your children. As a family, go on campouts and picnics, to ball games and recitals, to school programs, and so forth. Having Dad there makes all the difference. – Ezra Taft Benson • God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering. – Saint Augustine • God the Father and God the Son cannot be everywhere present; indeed they cannot be even in two places at the same instant: but God the Holy Spirit is omnipresent – it extends through all space, with all other matter. – Orson Pratt • Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged. – Louisa May Alcott • How can my son not be straight after all I’ve said and done for him? – Rod Stewart • I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he’s pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen. – Jennifer Lopez • I am not virtuous. Our sons will be if we shed enough blood to give them the right to be. – Jean-Paul Sartre • I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis. – Phil Collins • I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast. – Liz Phair • I burn a lot of stuff. My son, bless his heart, eats it anyway. But he makes a face! – Sherri Shepherd • I can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That’s what I want for my son. – Charlize Theron • I come from no country, from no city, no tribe. I am the son of the road… all tongues and all prayers belong to me. But I belong to none of them. – Amin Maalouf • I did as much as I could in Vancouver. You can only play so many ex-‘Falcon Crest’ sons in so many movies of the week before you burn out. – Ryan Reynolds • I didn’t see my son the entire time I did ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ The only time I saw Jeffrey was when he came to the show Monday and Tuesday nights to watch me dance. You literally rehearse six to eight hours every single day – 40 to 50 hours a week. – Sherri Shepherd • I don’t believe Jesus was the son of God, although I’m inclined to think he might have been a great prophet. – Damian Lewis • I don’t want to force anything on anyone. I’m not trying to bust you over the head and make you buy this record or this song or whatever. I’m presenting it to you so you can take it in. You know, it’s like trying to force a kid to eat broccoli. If I present it as trees that make your muscles grow, my son is like, ‘I’m down with getting muscles.’ – Jill Scott • I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the level of success I’ve had. I was just writing stories for my own sons. – Rick Riordan • I gave birth to my first son in April 1986. I thought it would be a good goal to get back in shape after having a baby if I ran the New York City Marathon. I ran in it November 1986. I had just shot the ‘Sports Illustrated’ swimsuit issue, so I was in great shape. – Kim Alexis • I had forgotten how thrilling a snow day is until my son started school, and as much as he loves it, he swoons at the idea of a free day arriving unexpectedly, laid out like a gift. – Susan Orlean • I had the experience last year of directing my first feature while I had a 1-year-old son and while I was also pregnant, so I am now well aware of the difficulties women who are rearing children face when they’re also trying to make headway in mainstream of film. – Diablo Cody • I happen to have the benefit of having a son-in-law who was the former Mr. France and a trainer. I like being his benefactor and I like the way he works. – Suzanne Somers • I have hair that I audition with, my sitcom hair which is a curly wig. I have my long chic hair that I wear to my son’s school so they know I’m not playing around. I always tell people that my husband gets a different woman every night when I come home from ‘The View.’ Hair makes you feel a certain way, like putting a power suit on. – Sherri Shepherd • I have one son. Of everything I’ve done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you. – Barbra Streisand • I have pictures of me sitting in the racquetball court in my pajamas with an acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I’ll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn’t wait for the day I’d be able to make music with my son. I don’t know what more I could ask for. – Eddie Van Halen • I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I’ve had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn’t been dull; I’ve been the Hiroshima of love. – Sylvester Stallone • I have two sons, ages 23 and 25, and know that parents need to listen more and speak less. Young people today don’t always know what’s going on or how they fit in, and if someone walks up to them and says, ‘Hey, kid: If you listen to me I’ll give you power and a sense of purpose,’ it can hold tremendous appeal. – Christian Picciolini • I just want to be able to keep my house and pay for my son’s school tuition in Los Angeles. – Diablo Cody • I know children regress after vaccination because it happened to my own son. Why aren’t there any tests out there on the safety of how vaccines are administered in the real world, six at a time? Why have only two of the 36 shots our kids receive been looked at for their relationship to autism? – Jenny McCarthy • I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn’t want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don’t answer. – Arsenio Hall • I know what God did for me. I know that He is my way out and my way in. He’s my way out of all this havoc and my way into paradise. He suffered for me and for everybody listening. God loves us so much. He tried a lot of things to get our attention. He tried a lot of things to get us back to Him. So He said, “I’ll tell you what. I’m going to make it real simple for you. I’m going to send my Son. He’s going to take on all your iniquities and all your sins. He’s gonna die in your place so you can have everlasting life. All you’ve got to do is accept that. – Smokey Robinson • I listen to music every day and that is a fact. My son pointed out the other day that there’s not a day that goes by without him listening to music in our house. I’m still an avid punter when it comes to either checking out bands or buying new music. – Jazzie B • I look and there’s our boy from Vietnam and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl was born in Namibia, and our son is from Cambodia, and they’re brothers and sisters, man. They’re brothers and sisters and it’s a sight for elation. – Brad Pitt • I look at my sons’ little faces, and I want to be their superhero. I don’t want them to have to look outside to a third party for a hero, for someone to look up to and admire. I want that to be ME. I want that person to be MOMMY for them. – Lashinda Demus • I love my kids, and the moments I have with them, and it’s kind of weird, it’s such an age old cliche, but the way that my sons, the way they make me feel when I look at them, the way they say things, no one else would probably react to them, but it’s a special thing for me. – Michael Rapaport • I love my son and am proud of my son. – Robert H. Schuller • I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship. – Harrison Ford • I loved it, it’s such fun. I like that people are seeing it and then talking about it. Like when I took my son and his friends to see Napoleon Dynamite last year, we spent the next six weeks trying to explain it. – Robert Downey, Jr. • I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. – John Adams • I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he’s going to be a lot better than I was. – James Brown • I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me, and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is, I’ll make less mistakes than my dad, my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me, and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads. – James Caan • I often think about how my sons will come to know about September 11th. Something overheard? A newspaper image? In school? I would prefer that they learn about it from my wife and me, in a deliberate and safe way. But it’s hard to imagine ever feeling ready to broach the subject without some impetus. – Jonathan Safran Foer • I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food. He’s only two but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza. Sometimes every inanimate object to him is pizza. – Jill Scott • I really discovered I had thyroid disease by accident. My son was having some health concerns, and as I filled out his patient history I noticed I had a lot of similar symptoms. I mentioned it to the doctor, and he ran blood work and finally an ultrasound of my thyroid. – Kim Alexis • I remember when I came home from the hospital after having my son, I wore a Narciso Rodriguez black coat. Then, I was using this fragrance that I had created. I walk by that coat, and it still smells like that fragrance. It takes you right there. – Sarah Jessica Parker • I saw this film Moon, it’s directed by Duncan Jones, David Bowie’s son. Sam Rockwell plays this astronaut that is stuck in a space station on the moon. You just have to see it. It’s easy to do something really cheesy with sci-fi, and to do something that’s already been done, but I think the story was something I hadn’t heard before, so it was really great. – Kelcey Ayer • I take some pride in… representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids. – Robert Downey, Jr. • I think if you’re the son or daughter of successful actors and actresses, it’s a double pressure. More is expected of you. – Liam Neeson • I think I’m lucky that I had kids as spread out as much as I did, ’cause my son, my oldest, was born when I was 21. And my youngest is 15 now. He was born when I was 40, you know? – Tom Hanks • I think it’s irresponsible when celebrities imply they’re doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He’s really full-on. I couldn’t do it any other way. – Alanis Morissette • I think these last 10 years have seen just a huge shift in the psyche of this country as regards gay people. I think AIDS had a lot to do with it. So many families who really believed they’d ‘never met one’ were suddenly confronted with their sons becoming ill, and friends of sons. I think that brought a lot of it into the open. – Janis Ian • I took my son’s name. I didn’t take my husband’s name. – Elizabeth Edwards • I truly have a village supporting me. My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many others in his life who love him as much as I do. They’re there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I’m definitely not a single parent. – Jill Scott • I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son, you shouldn’t do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished, and when you’re done, don’t make your hobby your job. – Eric Bana • I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up – blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff. – John Tesh • I was a sort of son to Ike, and it was the other way round with Kennedy. – Harold MacMillan • I was born and trained to communicate music, just as the sons were born and trained to hunt, and I was lucky to have grown up in Hungary, a country that lives and breathes music-that has a passionate belief in the power of music as a celebration of life. – Georg Solti • I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not an option, so I always try to face it and not be afraid. – Diane von Furstenberg • I work at home, in the country, and days will go by when, except for my husband and son and the occasional UPS man, the only sentient creatures that see me are my chickens and turkeys. – Susan Orlean • I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar. – Andrew Carnegie • I would like to be on the farm. To ride the horses. To watch the cattle, and the plantations, and the beautiful vegetables that my sons are growing there. I would like it. I am one of those who do not have to worry about what I am doing later. I love the fields. – Ariel Sharon • I’d been a housewife and mother to our son Thomas Jefferson, and I was looking for a new career. So when my agent called and said a producer named Paul Elliott from E&B productions, the biggest panto company in the country at the time, wanted to meet me I agreed. – Britt Ekland • I’d just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead. – Moby • If my kids came to me and said, ‘I’m gay,’ I’d say, ‘Son, I love you.’ That’s never at stake. Never, never, never at stake. – Kirk Cameron • If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons. – James A. Baldwin • If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. The world will be yours and everything in it, what’s more, you’ll be a man, my son. – Rudyard Kipling • If you’re feeling alone, and your weariness has grown, look up above, and thank God for His love. There’s nothing you can do, to change His love for you; hold on friend, it’s not the end. Something beautiful will come, the clouds will part for the sun, the skies will break for the Son, and the Father will say ‘Well done.’ But until then, until then, you’re not alone. He can make bread from stone. Hold on to Him, and He’ll hold on to you. Take one day at a time, pray for faith and be kind, and when forgetful becomes your mind, remember what He said, ‘You are mine.’ – Nick Vujicic • If you’re going to tear down a hero, you should never forget that you’re tearing down someone else’s hero. You’re tearing down somebody else’s son. You might have to face her one day. – Kevin Costner • I’m a smart girl. There are decisions that I make for reasons, and the most important thing is that my son is happy and he always will be. He’s surrounded by love. – Christina Aguilera • I’m a strange mixture of my mother’s curiosity; my father, who grew up the son of the manse in a Presbyterian family, who had a tremendous sense of duty and responsibility; and my mother’s father, who was always in trouble with gambling debts. – Rupert Murdoch • I’m convinced that Sanford and Son shows middle-class America a lot of what they need to know. – Redd Foxx • I’m just one of many moms who will say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way. – Sarah Palin • I’m not an analyzer. I’ve got a son that analyzes everything and everybody. But I don’t analyze people. – Billy Graham • I’m so centered in feeling great about me that I can give great things to my son and my husband and my family. – Celine Dion • In Korea, it’s a tradition to inherit your father’s business. Unfortunately, I’m the only son in the entire family, so they were forcing too much. – PSY • In this movie, you have all the things you love from Tim. All the magic and the whimsy and the surreal, but he also has a fantastic story of a father and son that really gets under your skin. – Danny DeVito • It has never made any sense to argue that, unique among the people of the world, Arabs are more concerned on a day-to-day basis about the treatment of people they don’t know than they are about how they’re going to put food on their own tables, or whether their sons will ever find a job. – John Podhoretz • It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son. – Gertrude Stein • It is no secret that I believe my son, Attorney General Beau Biden, would make a great United States senator – just as I believe he has been a great attorney general. But Beau has made it clear from the moment he entered public life, that any office he sought, he would earn on his own. – Joe Biden • It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons. – Friedrich Schiller • It is what the poets of Ireland used to be saying, that every brave man, good at fighting, and every man that could do great deeds and not be making much talk about them, was of the Sons of the Gael; and that every skilled man that had music and that did enchantments secretly, was of the Tuatha de Danaan. – Lady Gregory • It was at Inver Slane, to the north of Leinster, the sons of Gaedhal of the Shining Armour, the Very Gentle, that were called afterwards the Sons of the Gael, made their first attempt to land in Ireland to avenge Ith, one of their race that had come there one time and had met with his death. – Lady Gregory • It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.’ – Sam Levenson • It’s hard to kill that father-son bond. – Adam Driver • It’s much worse to read criticism about your son than yourself. – George H. W. Bush • It’s particularly important as parents in our conversations with our daughters and our sons to consider ideas intimate justice when we talk about and set them going on their early formative experience. – Peggy Orenstein • I’ve been very, very lucky in my career, in my life – from day one. When aspiring directors say, ‘what’s your advice?’ first I say, ‘be born the son of a famous director. It’s invaluable.’ – Jason Reitman • I’ve lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age, and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point. – Liz Phair • I’ve started looking at my own father a bit funny. He assures me, though, that I really am the son of a Scottish postman. – Craig Ferguson • I’ve taken salsa classes. I love dancing and I love to karaoke. So I bought a microphone with some tapes and my son and I karaoke. I know the entire ‘Dora the Explorer’ soundtrack. – Sherri Shepherd • Joanna points her camera at a section of society unused to having cameras pointed at it. But I don’t know about categorising them in terms of class; I’m a bit wary of that. My dad is the son of a shipbuilder. – Tom Hiddleston • Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons. – Napoleon Bonaparte • Losing hope means ceasing to love my son and my girlfriend and many friends and people around the world. We in Iraq have not descended from another planet. Just as people in many other countries have gotten over the tragedy of war, Iraq will get over its ordeal. I’m talking about the essence of humanity. Hope is mixed into the blood of every human being, everywhere and in every time. – Hassan Blasim • Make no mistake: Bob Ritchie’s up early in the morning taking pictures of his son on the first day of his senior year. Kid Rock is passed out in a hotel room somewhere with four scantily-clad women. – Kid Rock • Mom put a note in my lunch again, I see… Dear son, I hope you will study hard in summer school… Do not look upon it as a punishment, but rather as a privilege… We are very proud of you, and want you to have a good education. This note will self-destruct in five seconds. – Charles M. Schulz • Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children, her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth, bluntly, directly, and without much varnish. I am her son. – Chris Christie • More than anything, it’s my son’s smile and love that makes me light up! – Amber Valletta • Most people define themselves by what they do – ‘I’m a musician.’ Then one day it occurred to me that I’m only a musician when I’m playing music – or writing music, or talking about music. I don’t do that 24 hours a day. I’m also a father, a son, a husband, a citizen – I mean, when I go to vote, I’m not thinking of myself as ‘a musician.’ – Herbie Hancock • Mumford & Sons’ music appeals to a lot of America. I’m really proud of them. – Ellie Goulding • My affection for Taiwan… is witnessed by everyone. My wife is Taiwanese and I am a son-in-law of Taiwan. I am half Taiwanese. – Jackie Chan • My book ‘Trust Your Heart’, which is the story of my life, will be followed by ‘Singing Lessons’, a memoir of love, loss, hope, and healing, which talks about the death of my son and the hope that has been the aftermath of the healing from that tragedy. – Judy Collins • My father was against the death penalty, and that was hard in the Son of Sam summer when fear was driving the desire for the death penalty. – Andrew Cuomo • My father was the son of immigrants, and he grew up bilingual, but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. America’s strength is not our diversity; it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds. – Ernest Istook • ‘My Father’s Eyes’ is very personal. I realized that the closest I ever came to looking in my father’s eyes was when I looked into my son’s eyes. – Eric Clapton • My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin – Binyamin – the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Samaria 4,000 years ago, and there’s been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since. – Benjamin Netanyahu • My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War. – Mikhail Baryshnikov • My NFL pension can barely pay my son’s tuition. You know, it’s very little money. – O. J. Simpson • My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son. – Farrah Fawcett • My priority is my son and my husband, and I have a lot of spinning plates, so I try to make sure they’re not one of them. – Sherri Shepherd • My son Barry, of course, has been on from the beginning. And his son Shane is playing now a med student regularly on the show. And at one point or another, I’ve had all four of his kids on the show. – Dick Van Dyke • My son complains about headaches. I tell him all the time, when you get out of bed, it’s feet first! – Henny Youngman • My son doesn’t know how flawed I am, how flawed we are. He still likes us so much, and that’s so incredible to be around. – Sarah Jessica Parker • My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also. – George Strait • My son is actually named after Beck, the musician. We heard Beck on the radio and thought that was a good nickname for a child. We named our son Beckett so we could call him Beck – we reverse engineered. And then after he was born and I saw the name on the birth certificate I realized Beckett was a really pretentious name, way too literary. Luckily he’s grown into it. We nearly named my second son Dashiell. Can you imagine? Beckett and Dashiell. It would have been a disaster of pretentiousness. – Lauren Groff • My son is healthy and happy, so that’s all that matters to me. – Christina Aguilera • My son is so fortunate, you know. He’s always going to have food. Yes, my children are going to be privileged, but that’s why it’s so important for them to see different realities and to travel, and they do already. – Gisele Bundchen • My son is trying to be a sports writer, and my daughter is a college student. She wants to be a comedy writer, and she’s at film school. I discouraged both of them early on from getting involved in Starbucks. I didn’t think it would be fair; plus, they didn’t have any interest anyway. – Howard Schultz • My son loves the Hotel du Cap, in the south of France. – Diane von Furstenberg • My son was diagnosed with autism. He’s OK, he makes eye contact, but he doesn’t talk. He needs eight hours a day of very intensive school, and you wouldn’t even believe me if I told you how much it costs. – Steve Earle • My son, George, has been a bad, bad boy! Right, George? – Barbara Bush • My son, Jett, is two, and when I was pregnant my nose got bigger, so I got a new one. Everything was bigger for a while after having Jet, but I knew I needed to be able to walk up my stairs without being winded. It took me two years to lose 60 lbs – lots of walking, bike-riding, kick-boxing and performing. – Jill Scott • My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass. – Eddie Van Halen

• My younger son, Cordell, aka Lil Snoop, loves me like a fan loves Snoop Dogg. He’s inspired by making me happy. My older son, Corde, aka Spank, does everything I say, with effort and determination – but he does it for himself. He gets his thrill out of seeing his own results on the football field. – Snoop Dogg • Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle. – Soren Kierkegaard • Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him. – George Bernard Shaw • No love is greater than that of a father for His son. – Dan Brown • No matter where I go or what title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles. – Marco Rubio • No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology. – Ronald Reagan • Oh, there’s all these rumors that I’m a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock; my manager Narvel’s son, Reba McEntire’s stepson. – Kelly Clarkson • One father is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father. – George Herbert • One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding? – James Caan • Our most bitter enemies are our own kith and kin. Kings have no brothers, no sons, no mother! – Honore de Balzac • Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it’s been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father’s mistakes. At least if you’re making mistakes, make different mistakes. – Salman Rushdie • ‘Project Runway’ was my guilty pleasure while my son was napping or nursing. – Debra Messing • Racism isn’t born, folks, it’s taught. I have a two-year-old son. You know what he hates? Naps! End of list. – Denis Leary • Sin! Sin! Thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which God hates. And what wonder? Thou hast insulted His holy majesty; thou hast bereaved Him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the Son of His infinite love; thou hast vexed His gracious Spirit; thou hast defied His power; thou hast despised His grace; and in the body and blood of Jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot His matchless mercy. Surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate. – Thomas Guthrie • Since the beginning, a woman’s first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven. – Ezra Taft Benson • Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars. – Victor Hugo • Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant. – Casey Stengel • Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers. – Aldous Huxley • Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God. – Henri Nouwen • That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples – where I’m pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we’d ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. – Mitt Romney • That strong mother doesn’t tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in. – Lauryn Hill • The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud. – Bob Uecker • The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching ‘The Simpsons,’ so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I’m not funny anymore. – Matt Groening • The coolest gift I’ve ever gotten from a fan was from the Franklin Mint.

I couldn’t pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing. – Barbra Streisand • When my son was born, and after a day of lying-in I was told that I could leave the hospital and take him home, I burst into tears. It wasn’t the emotion of the moment: it was shock and horror. – Susan Orlean • When we adopt—and when we encourage a culture of adoption in our churches and communities—we’re picturing something that’s true about our God.

Son of Sam is a close second. – Geezer Butler • Women and LBGT people have the advantage that they are everybody’s son, daughter, cousin, nephew, aunt, uncle. They are in a position to change hearts, and you saw it happen actually. African-Americans, not so much. They are separated from the white oppressive population by geography, housing, segregation, centuries of slavery. There is a tremendous wall between black America and white. I would say you open the door with the force of law, and then you can start to change hearts. – Linda Hirshman • You can love someone like your son, even if he’s not your biological son, and you can love someone like your father, even if he’s not your biological father. – Oliver Hudson • You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes. – Wally Schirra • You know what has made me the happiest I’ve ever been? Seeing my son and daughter graduate from college. More than wanting them to be educated, I wanted them to be nice people. To see that they have become both is just a wonderful thing. – Gil Scott-Heron • You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen. – Jean-Paul Sartre • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday. – Khalil Gibran • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. – Khalil Gibran • Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, at fifteen your double, and after that, your friend or foe, depending on his bringing up. – Hasdai ibn Shaprut • Your sons weren’t made to like you. That’s what grandchildren are for. – Jane Smiley

• My younger son, Cordell, aka Lil Snoop, loves me like a fan loves Snoop Dogg. He’s inspired by making me happy. My older son, Corde, aka Spank, does everything I say, with effort and determination – but he does it for himself. He gets his thrill out of seeing his own results on the football field. – Snoop Dogg • Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle. – Soren Kierkegaard • Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him. – George Bernard Shaw • No love is greater than that of a father for His son. – Dan Brown • No matter where I go or what title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles. – Marco Rubio • No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology. – Ronald Reagan • Oh, there’s all these rumors that I’m a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock; my manager Narvel’s son, Reba McEntire’s stepson. – Kelly Clarkson • One father is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father. – George Herbert • One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding? – James Caan • Our most bitter enemies are our own kith and kin. Kings have no brothers, no sons, no mother! – Honore de Balzac • Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it’s been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father’s mistakes. At least if you’re making mistakes, make different mistakes. – Salman Rushdie • ‘Project Runway’ was my guilty pleasure while my son was napping or nursing. – Debra Messing • Racism isn’t born, folks, it’s taught. I have a two-year-old son. You know what he hates? Naps! End of list. – Denis Leary • Sin! Sin! Thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which God hates. And what wonder? Thou hast insulted His holy majesty; thou hast bereaved Him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the Son of His infinite love; thou hast vexed His gracious Spirit; thou hast defied His power; thou hast despised His grace; and in the body and blood of Jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot His matchless mercy. Surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate. – Thomas Guthrie • Since the beginning, a woman’s first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven. – Ezra Taft Benson • Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars. – Victor Hugo • Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant. – Casey Stengel • Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers. – Aldous Huxley • Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God. – Henri Nouwen • That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples – where I’m pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we’d ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. – Mitt Romney • That strong mother doesn’t tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in. – Lauryn Hill • The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud. – Bob Uecker • The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching ‘The Simpsons,’ so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I’m not funny anymore. – Matt Groening • The coolest gift I’ve ever gotten from a fan was from the Franklin Mint. It was a knife, and it had a picture of General Wade Hampton, who my oldest son is named after.

Grammys Snubs and Surprises: Taylor Swift, Lil Nas X and More

Lizzo, Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X led the Grammy nominations on Wednesday, putting a new generation of pop stars in the spotlight after they stormed both streaming and radio on their way to becoming household names. But who got left out, and what do the nominees say about the past year in music and the direction the Grammys are heading? Here’s a guide to the day’s big takeaways, snubs and surprises.

A Grammys Juggernaut Gets (Unfairly?) Sidelined

Taylor Swift has 10 Grammy wins in her career, including two album of the year trophies, and three more nominations this year bring her total number of nods to 35. And yet … Swift’s absence from the two biggest categories — record and album of the year — can’t help but feel like a major slight given the strong reviews and monster opening-week sales for “Lover.” (The title track was nominated for song of the year, “You Need to Calm Down” got a spot in best pop solo performance and the album is up for best pop vocal album.) Swift’s previous release, “Reputation,” was also snubbed, but that album was reflective of a strange time for the singer. “Lover” was a return-to-form record, and it felt like a shoo-in, even without a dominant hit single.

The offense only grows when you consider the left-field choices that did land one of the eight album spots: Lil Nas X’s “7” is not an album at all, but an 8-track EP built around a smash single that appears in two different versions on the short project. H.E.R.’s “I Used to Know Her,” a compilation that combines two earlier EPs, peaked at No. 86 on the Billboard album chart, and even after her five nominations, two wins and a strong performance at last year’s show, the R&B singer did not really penetrate the mainstream further. And then there’s “i,i” by Bon Iver and “Father of the Bride” by Vampire Weekend, two well-received capital-A albums, but from bands that have grown up and settled into their own little worlds.

The question now, as Swift publicly spars with Scooter Braun (whose client Ariana Grande was nominated for both album and record), is if she’ll push back against another institution by speaking out or not even showing up, or if she’ll put on a good face and agree to perform in an attempt to show the Grammys what they overlooked.

Not Just a Meme Anymore

Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” was undeniably a cultural sensation — it became the longest-running No. 1 single ever, a streak that probably would not have happened without Lil Nas’s own bountiful charm and internet acumen. But the Recording Academy has made the bold choice not to treat him like a fleeting novelty or vessel for a big song, but as an artist with a body of work. He received six nominations overall — as many as Eilish and two fewer than Lizzo, who led with eight — including for best new artist and best rap/sung performance for “Panini,” the follow-up single that has overperformed but does not feel substantial.

That’s a big step up when compared to other hits that became Moments, like Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” or Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” which did not get nominated, or even Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” which got recognized for song of the year and in a pop category (but didn’t win). Even Billy Ray Cyrus, who is nominated with Lil Nas X for his feature on “Old Town Road,” didn’t do as well during peak “Achy Breaky Heart,” earning only three nominations in 1993. (Cyrus lost best new artist to Arrested Development.) If Lil Nas X wins big on Grammy night, it will only increase the pressure on whatever he does next.

Rap Recedes (Again)

After a few consecutive big years for rappers in the major categories — Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Drake, Post Malone, Jay-Z, Cardi B — hip-hop is only a seasoning on this year’s nominations. Yes, Lil Nas X and Lizzo (and even Eilish and Grande) use rap when it suits them, but albums and songs from DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, Juice WRLD, Tyler, the Creator, Chance the Rapper, J. Cole, 21 Savage and Nipsey Hussle were relegated to the genre categories or passed over entirely. (Remember when Lil Uzi Vert was nominated for best new artist?)

Another place that could have recognized hip-hop? Producer of the year, which turns out to be all white men, including Jack Antonoff, Ricky Reed and Eilish’s brother and collaborator, Finneas. The Grammys’ relationship with rap could generously be described as strained, and it’s hard to see how this year’s show is going to help, unless they pull off a legit tribute to Hussle, who received three posthumous nominations.

Rock Is … Back?

And this time, it’s aggressively indie (though maybe on a major label). Vampire Weekend has been nominated twice in the past, and won best alternative album for “Modern Vampires of the City,” but its nod for best album is maybe this year’s least-predicted shock, given the sprawling eclecticism and jam-band influence of “Father of the Bride.” Bon Iver started its career as a potential Grammy darling, winning best new artist over Nicki Minaj and J. Cole and punching above its weight with song and record of the year nominations for the song “Holocene,” but the group has only gotten stranger and more experimental in the years since.

Appearing here with Lana Del Rey, who made a classic-sounding, piano-and-guitar songwriter LP with “Norman _______ Rockwell!,” it’s amusing to watch these midcareer alt darlings come to represent traditionalism and what passes for rock ’n’ roll on a stage this size. (Also worth noting: Black Pumas, a psychedelic soul-rock duo, sneaked into best new artist, alongside heavyweights like Lizzo, Eilish, Lil Nas X and Rosalía.)

International Pop Arrives, but Without a Bang

Rosalía, the flamenco-futurist whose 2018 album “El Mal Querer” introduced the world to an auteur-in-the-making and just took home three Latin Grammys, is a much-deserved statement pick in the best new artist lineup and may be the first such nominee to sing almost entirely in Spanish during her eligibility period. (José Feliciano, who had sung primarily in Spanish, won best new artist in 1969, following the release of his English-language crossover album “Feliciano!”) Bad Bunny, the lovable Latin trap oddity, is nominated twice in the (bizarrely crammed together) best Latin rock, urban or alternative album category. These are artists on the forefront of a global pop movement that rethinks what it means to cross over, and fingers crossed they get a spot on the actual show. But the Grammys didn’t go fully international, overlooking K-pop, for instance, and the world-beating group BTS, who released a No. 1 EP, “Map of the Soul: Persona,” featuring a hit with Halsey, in the Grammys window. These acts aren’t going anywhere, so these feel like baby steps.

Ariana, Taylor, Billie, And Lil Nas X Lead Your 2019 VMA Nominations

She’s got the biggest selling album of the year, and now Ariana Grande continues her hot streak by co-leading the pack of nominees for the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards!

Grande has racked up a whopping 10 (!) nominations, including Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop, Best Direction, and Best Cinematography, all for her cameo-packed, rom-com-inspired “thank u, next” video. Joining her at the top of the list is fellow pop titan Taylor Swift, who also boasts 10 nods, split between her whimsical “ME!” and “You Need to Calm Down” visuals. In the list announced Tuesday (July 23), VMA newbies Billie Eilish grabbed nine nods and Lil Nas X trails close behind with eight. Eilish also joins Grande in the illustrious Artist of the Year category, alongside Cardi B, Halsey, Jonas Brothers, and Shawn Mendes.

Meanwhile, the mother-of-them-all category — Video of the Year — is predictably packed. Grande’s “thank u, next” is up against Eilish’s “bad guy,” Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down,” Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road (Remix),” Jonas Brothers’s “Sucker,” and 21 Savage and J. Cole‘s “a lot.”

This year’s show also sees the introduction of a brand new prize: Best K-pop. BTS scored a nom for their Halsey-featuring smash “Boy With Luv,” and the rest of the category is filled with more of the genre’s biggest stars: Blackpink, Monsta X, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, NCT 127, and EXO.

We’ll find out who wins when the 2019 VMAs touch down at the Prudential Center in New Jersey on Monday, August 26. See the full list of nominees below and get voting now — your faves need you!
