The Wicked Cometh by Laura Carlin

Today I share some long overdue thoughts on The Wicked Cometh, the historical novel from Laura Carlin Review on the blog - link in bio @hodderbooks #books #bookreview #thewickedcometh #historicalthriller #bookstagram

Today I finally share my thoughts on The Wicked Cometh by Laura Carlin. I started listening to this on audio a while back but, due to work pressures, never quite finished it. So I started again in book format, courtesy of. a netgalley approval from publisher, Hodder & Stoughton, far too long ago not to be embarrassing. Better late than never though, right, and backlist book love is always…

Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

Davechella Week Two: Tom Hartnell

Link again here plus various lyrics, Youtubes, and listening options below the cut.

I agonised over this one for far too long but Christos 'Piano Man' Lawton inspired me just to fuckin' go for it. Enjoy!

1. My Mother Told Me - Nati Dredd, Cullen Vance

My mother told me/ Some day I would buy/ Galleys with good oars and/ Sails to distant shore

Stand up high on the prow/ Noble barque I steer/ Steady course for the havens/ Hew many foe-men/ Hew many foe-men

2. The Wife of Usher's Well - Bellowhead

There lived a wife at Usher's Well/ And a wealthy wife, a wife was she/ She had three stout and stalwart sons/ And she sent them out over the sea

They had not been a week from her/ A week, a week but barely one/ When word it came to the carline wife/ That her three sons, her sons were gone

They had not been a week from her/ A week, a week but barely three/ When word it came to the carline wife/ That her three sons she'd never see/ "I wish the wind may never cease/ Nor fashes, nor fashes in the flood/ Till my three sons come home to me/ In earthly flesh, in flesh and blood!"

3. Blackberry Stone - Laura Marling

I’d be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered/ but I’d understand that I’d never let it go./ I’d be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered/ but I’d understand that the world does what it does.

And you never did learn to let the little things go/ And you never did learn to let me be/ And you never did learn to let little people grow/ And you never did learn how to see.

But I’ll whisper that I love this man/ Now, and for forever, to your soul as it floats out of the window/ To the world that you turned your back on/ To the world that never really let you be.

And I am lower now and lower still/ And you did always say that one day I would suffer/ You did always say that people get their pay/ You did always say that I was going places/ And that you wouldn’t have it any other way.

4. Wild Mountain Thyme - The Longest Johns

I will build my love a bower/ Near yon pure crystal fountain/ And on it I will pile/ All the flowers of the mountain

Will you go, lassie, go?/ And we'll all go together/ To pull wild mountain thyme/ All among the blooming heather/ Will you go, lassie, go?

5. Graves - Whisky Shivers

Sun done run out of rays/ And I've been waiting on a south bound train/ Trying not to go insane but, I can't do it all my own. Hey!

Who's gonna dig theses graves?/ Who's gonna dig theses graves?/ Somebody help me dig these graves, I can't do it all my own

6. Brother my Cup is Empty - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Oh brother, my cup is empty/ And I haven't got a penny/ For to buy no more whiskey/ I have to go home

I am the captain of my pain/ Tis the bit, the bridle/ The trashing cane/ The stirrup, the harness/ And the whipping mane/ The pickled eye/ And the shrinking brain/ Brother, buy me one more drink/ I'll explain the nature of my pain/ Yes, let me tell you once again/ I am the captain of my pain

7. Get Down - Avi Kaplan

When the rain is all I see/ And the black cloud's coming for me/ Thunder-roll got me on my knees/ But then I'm back on my feet no stopping

Ain't nothing gonna take my fire/ Ain't nothing gonna crush my soul/ Nobody gonna make me a liar. Gonna get up if I get down low, yeah

Get down and get down/ But I keep on climbing on it/ Get down and get down/ But I keep on climbing up/ Don't matter if the wolves start calling/ Don't matter how much I'm falling, yeah/ Get down and get down/ But I keep on climbing up

8. Keep on Swinging - Rival Sons

One day/ My prayers are gonna be answered/ For so long/ I've been hungry for something else

When there's a will and there's away/ I work hard 'cause at the end of the day/ The Lord helps those that help themselves

Hey, hey, I keep my head down (but I keep on swingin')

9. Hold On I'm Coming - Welshly Arms

I'm on my way/ Your lover/ When you get cold/ I'll be your cover/ You don't have to worry/ Cause I'm here/ Don't need to suffer/ Because I'm near

Just hold on/ I'm comin'/ Hold on/ Yeah, I'm comin'

10. Fight Test - The Flaming Lips

Oh, to fight is to defend/ If it's not now, then tell me when would be the time/ That you would stand up and be a man/ For to lose, I could accept/ But to surrender I just wept and regretted this moment/ Oh that I, I was the fool

I don't know where the sunbeams end/ And the starlights begin/ It's all a mystery/ And I don't know how a man decides/ What's right for his own life/ It's all a mystery

'Cause I'm a man, not a boy/ And there are things you can't avoid, you have to face them/ When you're not prepared to face them

If I could, I would/ But you're with him now, I'd do no good/ I should have fought him, but instead I let him/ I let him take you.

LAURA CARLIN

[beardedmrbean]

The episode plunged one of America’s most ubiquitous brands into crisis.

In April 2018, two Black men entered a Starbucks shop in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood of Philadelphia for a business meeting with a white man who had not yet arrived. While they waited, and before ordering, one of the two asked to use the bathroom. He was refused. Eventually, they were asked to leave. When they did not, an employee called the police.

The subsequent arrests, captured in videos viewed millions of times online, prompted accusations of racism, protests and boycott threats. The company’s CEO apologized publicly, describing the way the men had been treated as “reprehensible.” Starbucks took the extraordinary step of temporarily closing 8,000 stores to teach workers about racial bias.

On Monday, in a surprising twist, a federal jury in New Jersey ordered Starbucks to pay $25.6 million to a former regional manager after determining that the company had fired her amid the fallout from the Rittenhouse Square episode because she was white. The jury found that Starbucks had violated the federal civil rights of the former manager, Shannon Phillips, as well as a New Jersey law that prohibits discrimination based on race, awarding her $600,000 in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages.

Laura Carlin Mattiacci, a lawyer for Phillips, said she and her client were “very pleased” with the unanimous verdict, adding that “she proved by ‘clear and convincing evidence’ that punitive damages were warranted” under the New Jersey law.

A Starbucks spokesperson declined to comment.

At the time of the episode, Phillips oversaw about 100 stores in Philadelphia, southern New Jersey, Delaware and parts of Maryland. She had been promoted to the job in 2011 after what she called her “exemplary performance” in six years as a district manager in Ohio.

Phillips said in the suit that Starbucks, as part of its damage-control effort after the arrests, had sought to punish her and other white employees in and around Philadelphia even if they had not been involved in the events that led to the police being called.

Phillips said she had thrown herself into the company’s efforts to restore its credibility and had sought to support hourly workers, organizing managers to staff stores and cover for employees who were scared to run a gantlet of protesters.

Amid the image-burnishing campaign, Phillips said one of her superiors, a Black woman, told her to suspend a white manager who oversaw stores in Philadelphia, though not the one in Rittenhouse Square, because of allegations that he had engaged in discriminatory conduct — allegations that Phillips said she knew to be untrue.

In contrast, Phillips said, no action was taken against the manager who oversaw the Rittenhouse Square store, a Black man who Phillips said had promoted the employee who called the police.

Phillips said she was fired not long after balking at the order to suspend the white manager. She said that she had not been previously told that she was doing a bad job and that the only explanation she was given for the firing was that “the situation is not recoverable.”

Starbucks denied in court filings that Phillips had been fired because she was white and said she was let go because she performed poorly in response to the episode that led to the arrests.

“During this time of crisis,” a lawyer for Starbucks wrote in a court filing, the company’s “Philadelphia market needed a leader who could perform,” adding that “Ms. Phillips failed in every aspect of that role.”

Starbucks ultimately chose not to press charges against the men at the center of the episode, Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson, both 23 at the time. Before suing over the ordeal, they reached a confidential financial settlement with the company and got a commitment from the city of Philadelphia to invest $200,000 to help young entrepreneurs.

“I want to make sure that this situation doesn’t happen again,” Robinson said in an interview at the time. “What I want is for young men to not be traumatized by this, and instead motivated, inspired.”

Efforts to reach Robinson and Nelson on Tuesday were unsuccessful.
