The new album was going to be a little more than natural progression. New rumors arose, interviews were conducted, and it was soon discovered that this band meant business. ![]() In was a down-home and southern sound that was very very dirty, much like the blood pouring out of David’s nose that day at Purple Door, splattering the microphone and giving his blonde hair a new red streak. Then they introduced a new song to their live set called “Breath of the Swamp.” Gone were the epic lyrics of the full album, spun around various Biblical events. The Showdown are, as stated on the back of a t-shirt, “high voltage heavy metal.” Produced by Bruce Fitzhugh, their debut, A Chorus of Obliteration, brought in wave after wave of fans who would soon spread rumors of this band being the saviors of Christian metal. Having led The Showdown out of obscurity and the southern land of Tennessee, this man is a phenomenon among his statue-like metal contemporaries and holds every listener’s ears for ransom. Those who have seen them live know exactly what I’m talking about, and with a smile remember him, David Bunton. This guy with long blonde hair comes out with ripped jeans, a flannel shirt, and his own band’s t-shirt underneath (customized by ripping off the sleeves). ![]() All I knew were the two song I had downloaded from PureVolume, and that I wanted to be up front for Showbread right after them, so I pushed my way to the first row of the HM Stage at Purple Door 2005 with no clue what I was about to experience. Though the movie is based on this resort, the filming took place in North Carolina and Virginia. Though Dirty Dancing was set in a fictional Catskills resort in the summer of 1963, today, it’s easy to spend a few days exploring some of the original film sites of one of the most endearing love stories to film in North Carolina. You can still visit this instantly recognizable locale, and have yourself an equally memorable summer vacation (but perhaps less dramatic). The film tells the romantic story of a young woman (played by Jennifer Grey), named Francis "Baby" Houseman, who falls in love with a dance instructor named Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), while on vacation in 1963 at a resort just like Grossinger.īefore it finally closed in 1986, the hotel encompassed a complex of 35 buildings on 1,200 acres that served 150,000 guests a year at its height. While Baby and Johnny’s original story was set at the fictional Kellerman Resort in the Catskills of New York State, the film was shot largely at the idyllic Mountain Lake Lodge in Pembroke, Virginia. One such visitor was Eleanor Bergstein, writer and producer of Dirty Dancing, who vacationed there with her family. The movie’s setting, Kellermans, is based on the numerous all-inclusive vacation spots aimed at Jewish travelers that dotted the upstate New York landscape throughout much of the 20th centurya. Hundreds of thousands of vacationers made their way to the Catskills to visit the spot. Grossinger's heyday was after World War II, according to the Associated Press. The fire is still under investigation, according to the Liberty Fire Department. The Mountain Lake Lodge in Pembroke, Virginia is one of the most iconic destinations in the entire Dirty Dancing movie. Once the fire was out, an excavator was brought in to knock down the remaining pieces of the building, officially ridding the Catskills of what remained of the Grossinger Hotel. ![]() Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing (1987).

And she certainly thought that women belonged in the public sphere. She respected herself and was respected, not only within the family but outside the family. Her father published a book of her poems when she was 17. She was taught to respect herself and her gifts from a young age. It was unusual at that time for a woman to be an accomplished writer and a public figure. ![]() She was also one of the pre-eminent translators of Heinrich Heine, the German Jewish poet. She was a great reader of the literature of her day and she responded, sometimes in very surprising ways. She wrote literary criticism and theater criticism, as well as some more philosophical and contemplative essays. She wrote dramatic monologues, plays and a novel on the life of Goethe. The letters give us a person who is so vibrant and so smart and so unendingly curious about history, religion and literature. She was unashamed about writing fan letters and networking. She met a lot of the major American literary and cultural figures, and she was very well connected, partly because of her wealth, partly because she was very good at picking up mentors. First of all, she knew everybody in the 38 years that she lived. Yes, I read her letters and they were amazing. ![]() Were you inspired to write about Lazarus by reading those letters? Much was unknown about Lazarus until a trove of her letters was discovered by author Bette Roth Young in 1980 and published in a collection in 1995. Schor recently discussed Lazarus’ most famous poem, her role as a pioneering woman and her championing of the Zionist cause. “I had to confine myself to discussing the poems only where they illuminated her life, which was not always easy for me.” “I’m a literary critic, so it was a challenge to write a biographical narrative about a poet’s life,” Schor said. Her previous books include “Bearing the Dead: The British Culture of Mourning From the Enlightenment to Victoria,” “The Cambridge Companion to Mary Shelley” and a volume of poems, “The Hills of Holland.” This book represents a bit of a departure for Schor, a Princeton faculty member since 1986 who specializes in British Romanticism.

![]() In addition, the scene is capped off splendidly with Cap’s “Avengers, A-” line, interrupted in true Whedon fashion with a cut to the end credits. This development isn’t really exciting in itself, but when Captain America and Black Widow enter a room filled with the current team of old and new faces (Falcon, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, and The Vision), it’s hard not to feel a jolt of excitement seeing The Avengers as a team evolve on-screen. With Ultron out of the picture, the remaining Avengers and the remnants of SHIELD set up a new base of operations. Avengers AssembleĪvengers: Age of Ultron gets bogged down at points due to setup obligations for the next films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but one scene in particular at the end offers some exciting prospects of where things are headed with The Avengers team. Give that Age of Ultron is a huge superhero extravaganza, it goes without saying that it has a lot of cool moments - almost too many to keep track of, really - but the following 10 definitely stand out. It’s a film that’s almost too busy, as it definitely takes more than one viewing to catch all the action and quips the film throws at the screen. It’s a legitimately enjoyable and worthy followup to the massively successful The Avengers (2012) that keeps the Marvel Cinematic Universe trucking along on its path to world domination (well, the box office part of it anyway). *This post contains significant spoilers for Avengers: Age of UltronĪvengers: Age of Ultron is poised to be one of the most successful films of the year - if not all time - but its appeal goes beyond just being a big hit at the box office. ![]() This new algorithm will retarget our block times much faster - ensuring the hard-mining shibe is not left holding the bag after the multipool ransack.Ĭoins mined must mature for 4 hours (previously 30 minutes) before being spent.

BENZINGA TV EXCLUSIVE: Why This Bear Market Is Different Than All The Previous Ones. ![]() Of course, speaking of Lizzo, she recently faced severe backlash and accusations of being an ableist when her single “GRRRLS” released. So the argument could be that the “she” they are referring to may be from the African-American community, which sounds like a far-fetch but who knows, when you have a team of songwriters that have written and won awards for such big names as The Weeknd, The Kid Laroi, Katy Perry, Lil Nas X, Lizzo and more, maybe there is just an assumption that every pop song needs to incorporate AAVE to sound more “urban”. In fact, for the majority of the listening audience, they wouldn’t even realize it. Melodically, singing “she be poppin’ it” and “she was popping it” would actually have made no difference. I ask this because I think about what exactly it took for Smith, Petras and the five other credited non African-American songwriters – hit-maker heavyweights Ilya Salmanzadeh, Blake Slatkin, Henry Walter, Omer Fedi and James Napier (Jimmy Napes) – to greenlight this. So, what happens when one community appropriates another? Do they get a free pass? Should we simply say that because there’s been another struggle in your life, you can go ahead, sign and perform lyrics in a way that you’ve never actually spoken. They both have also worn their identities and their pronouns with pride (I even once got death threats for inadvertently using the incorrect pronouns for Smith!). As non-binary and trans-woman performers respectively, both artists have struggled to achieve success and acceptance. What feels particularly troubling about the Sam Smith-Kim Petras single is that of all the artists out there, they should know better. ![]() ![]() Whether intentional or not, their widespread impact continues to dilute the impact and unique significance of the African-American community.Īlso See #RSDailyMusic: Here’s What We’re Listening to Today From Billie Eilish donning a “blaccent” on Instagram Live (which even her brother called her out on) to Olivia Rodrigo, younger artists feel this need to look or sound cool, almost with the idea that AAVE is their foray into additional markets. ![]() It seems that lyrically and musically, we are much more okay with this form of appropriation than with speaking it or with the culture. To their credit, they’ve both made sure that the appropriation remains in the music and not outside. This could perhaps explain why artists like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber have seemingly gotten free passes with their music as it is deeply rooted in soul and hip-hop. In many ways, a lot of language and phrases that were once unique to AAVE have now become a part of the broader vernacular. Previously known as – quite controversially I may add – Ebonics, the modern-day way of speech has become quite mainstream, particularly as a result of the success of rap and hip-hop. ‘AAVE’ is short for African-American Vernacular English, considered by academics as a specific way of speaking within traditional African-American English (AAE) aka Black English. Okay, so nothing really offensive, right? Well, not really unless you think about the fact that the lyrics clearly include AAVE, and as far as I know, neither Smith nor Petras are African-American. “Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot / At the body shop / Doin’ somethin’ unholy / He’s sat back while she’s droppin’ it / She be poppin’ it / Yeah, she put it down slowly,” the lyrics go. While the track itself feels like just another naughty pop single, there was something that bothered me upon watching the umpteenth TikTok video quoting it. |
