Chloe herself isn’t the type of heroine you often see in romance novels—she’s plus-size and dealing with serious chronic illness that Hibbert depicts with compassion and bone-aching realism. Chloe is also a computer nerd who loves to make lists, and after a near-miss car accident, she makes herself a “Get a Life” list. Will getting a life somehow involve her smokin’ hot apartment superintendent “Red” Morgan, who has long red hair, a motorcycle, and is secretly a talented painter? YOU BET. Chloe and Red have chemistry that practically burns up the page, the supporting cast (including Chloe’s sequel-bait sisters) are funny and well-rounded, and the conflicts and obstacles feel organic.

Unfortunately, she is surrounded by a hapless crew of oddballs who keep making that task tougher and tougher. Bingeing old \u003cem>Parks and Rec\u003c/em> episodes not only gives you a look at ace performers like Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Aubrey Plaza and Retta before they became superstars, it’s also a wonderful comedy centered on a super dysfunctional work family trying to make government a little better.

Chloe herself isn’t the type of heroine you often see in romance novels—she’s plus-size and dealing with serious chronic illness that Hibbert depicts with compassion and bone-aching realism. Chloe is also a computer nerd who loves to make lists, and after a near-miss car accident, she makes herself a “Get a Life” list. Will getting a life somehow involve her smokin’ hot apartment superintendent “Red” Morgan, who has long red hair, a motorcycle, and is secretly a talented painter? YOU BET. Chloe and Red have chemistry that practically burns up the page, the supporting cast (including Chloe’s sequel-bait sisters) are funny and well-rounded, and the conflicts and obstacles feel organic.

Knope is a well-meaning bureaucrat, though not always the brightest bulb—who fervently believes that the government of her small Indiana town could make things better for everybody. Unfortunately, she is surrounded by a hapless crew of oddballs who keep making that task tougher and tougher. Bingeing old \u003cem>Parks and Rec\u003c/em> episodes not only gives you a look at ace performers like Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Aubrey Plaza and Retta before they became superstars, it’s also a wonderful comedy centered on a super dysfunctional work family trying to make government a little better.

I cooked pretty much everything he wrote back then, and while most recipes have faded in my memory this one stuck because it is\u003cem> magic.\u003c/em> I cannot explain why this combination of things you likely already have in your kitchen (peanut butter, garlic, a can of tomatoes, a chicken thigh in the back of your freezer, maybe?) and a few fresh veggies (kale, sweet potatoes) has become one of my all time favorite comfort meals, but it has. I make this soup when people are sick, or are having babies. I make it when the news is scary. I make it when the kale looks nice at the farmer’s market. I make it when I just have nothing else to do. It’s gluten- and dairy-free, so it works for a variety of diets and restrictions. (I’m sure you could make it vegetarian—just leave out the chicken. Maybe add some chickpeas.) It feels healthy and it comes together fast. When I made it yesterday, I didn’t have peanuts, and I used Japanese white sweet potatoes and added fish sauce.

Local jazz nights in New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, almost at once, it seemed like the entire March calendars of musicians across the country were wiped clean. Within hours Wednesday, thousands of dollars in expected income vanished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My schedule for the next few months has been completely decimated,” said Seth Kibel, a woodwind player in the D.C. area who plays at swing dances and retirement homes — which he says were the first gigs to go.[aside postid='arts_13876160']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As panic over the coronavirus sweeps the globe, much of the focus is on the broader economic effects on businesses or venues that have to cancel events. But the coronavirus’ toll on working musicians is immediate and sometimes debilitating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When people speak of the gig economy, they’re often thinking of Uber drivers or Instacart shoppers. But for freelance musicians, their patchwork of gigs pays the bills. And in the face of shuttered concert halls and a self-quarantining public, that patchwork is falling apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenor Zach Finkelstein, who lives in Washington state, says he’s already seen three cancellations and expects more. By May, he says, he estimates he’ll have lost about $10,000 in fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A traveling soloist is going to be riding the poverty line, and this is peak time for classical singer travel,” he said. “Even missing one contract for $1,500-$2,000 has the potential to torpedo a career. Missing two or three is probably going to bankrupt most singers. The only people that will survive that financially are those with a day job, or a spouse with a day job, or a rich family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median income for musicians in the U.S. was around $20,000 in 2016, according to Alan Krueger’s \u003cem>Rockonomics\u003c/em>, which examined the economics of the music industry. Live performances, Krueger wrote, are the most common source of a musician’s income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many venues have been canceling performances out of an abundance of caution. Some have been forced to do so, because their city or state has banned gatherings of more than a few hundred people. The new ban on travel from Europe has also had an impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My concert next week was cancelled because the conductor won’t make it in to Minneapolis due to the travel ban,” said singer Clara Presser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just performers themselves who are feeling the pain. Los Angeles-based recording engineer Christian Amonson said he leads a team whose livelihoods depend on large gatherings like concerts and recitals. When the first cancellation came in, Amonson said, he thought, “There goes $3,000.” Then a second email, “That’s $7,000.” Then another $1,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And these are only some for the next week and a half,” Amonson said. “What about later in the month? What about April? We rely on these projects to pay salaries, keep the lights on, and make debt payments.”[aside postid='science_1957877']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re all hurting,” said Claudio Rivera, a drum technician in St. Paul, Minn. “This is systemic, from backline techs to merch people to drivers to stagehands and everything in between.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several artist organizations are offering emergency grants to artists who have lost work. A new\u003ca href=\"https://covid19freelanceartistresource.wordpress.com/?fbclid=IwAR0OfYQflWLqrF2dAXh0AFDaSnu9yHAJZzlhkcrbxyPQ58JLaCLBxqy_yww\"> website\u003c/a>, “COVID-19 Freelance Artist Resources,” points artists in the right direction. But it’s unclear how far these emergency grants will go. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some organizations, like Westmoreland Congregational United Church of Christ in Bethesda, Md., will continue to pay its hired singers despite canceled calls. Music Director Alec Davis said he made the proposal, which Westmoreland approved quickly. “Westmoreland is very social justice minded, so they appreciated the problem immediately,” Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s an anomaly; most canceled gigs mean canceled incomes. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.musicalartists.org/agma-statement-on-need-for-economic-relief-for-artists/\">statement\u003c/a> Thursday, the American Guild of Musical Artists asked federal, state and city governments to “pass immediate, substantial economic relief” for the arts organizations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Congress and state and local governments must not turn their backs on the artists, singers, dancers, stage managers, orchestra members, stagehands, and all those involved in putting on a production,” AGMA leadership wrote. “Local governments know how the arts benefit and uplift their economies, their communities, and the civic life of their cities and states.

But the coronavirus’ toll on working musicians is immediate and sometimes debilitating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When people speak of the gig economy, they’re often thinking of Uber drivers or Instacart shoppers. But for freelance musicians, their patchwork of gigs pays the bills. And in the face of shuttered concert halls and a self-quarantining public, that patchwork is falling apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenor Zach Finkelstein, who lives in Washington state, says he’s already seen three cancellations and expects more. By May, he says, he estimates he’ll have lost about $10,000 in fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A traveling soloist is going to be riding the poverty line, and this is peak time for classical singer travel,” he said. “Even missing one contract for $1,500-$2,000 has the potential to torpedo a career. Missing two or three is probably going to bankrupt most singers. The only people that will survive that financially are those with a day job, or a spouse with a day job, or a rich family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median income for musicians in the U.S. was around $20,000 in 2016, according to Alan Krueger’s \u003cem>Rockonomics\u003c/em>, which examined the economics of the music industry. Live performances, Krueger wrote, are the most common source of a musician’s income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many venues have been canceling performances out of an abundance of caution. Some have been forced to do so, because their city or state has banned gatherings of more than a few hundred people. The new ban on travel from Europe has also had an impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My concert next week was cancelled because the conductor won’t make it in to Minneapolis due to the travel ban,” said singer Clara Presser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just performers themselves who are feeling the pain. Los Angeles-based recording engineer Christian Amonson said he leads a team whose livelihoods depend on large gatherings like concerts and recitals. When the first cancellation came in, Amonson said, he thought, “There goes $3,000.” Then a second email, “That’s $7,000.” Then another $1,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And these are only some for the next week and a half,” Amonson said. “What about later in the month? What about April? We rely on these projects to pay salaries, keep the lights on, and make debt payments.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A new\u003ca href=\"https://covid19freelanceartistresource.wordpress.com/?fbclid=IwAR0OfYQflWLqrF2dAXh0AFDaSnu9yHAJZzlhkcrbxyPQ58JLaCLBxqy_yww\"> website\u003c/a>, “COVID-19 Freelance Artist Resources,” points artists in the right direction. But it’s unclear how far these emergency grants will go. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some organizations, like Westmoreland Congregational United Church of Christ in Bethesda, Md., will continue to pay its hired singers despite canceled calls. Music Director Alec Davis said he made the proposal, which Westmoreland approved quickly. “Westmoreland is very social justice minded, so they appreciated the problem immediately,” Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s an anomaly; most canceled gigs mean canceled incomes. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.musicalartists.org/agma-statement-on-need-for-economic-relief-for-artists/\">statement\u003c/a> Thursday, the American Guild of Musical Artists asked federal, state and city governments to “pass immediate, substantial economic relief” for the arts organizations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Congress and state and local governments must not turn their backs on the artists, singers, dancers, stage managers, orchestra members, stagehands, and all those involved in putting on a production,” AGMA leadership wrote. “Local governments know how the arts benefit and uplift their economies, their communities, and the civic life of their cities and states.

He was set to fly to Austin for South by Southwest to DJ several showcases, including a set with buzzed-about bilingual singer La Doña. And he had several private gigs lined up—weddings, tech company parties and the like—that would earn him a sizable chunk of income, in the upper four figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as coronavirus began to spread in the United States, event producers began taking precautions to stop the spread of the illness, which the World Health Organization is now calling a global pandemic. Last week, South by Southwest was canceled—then Ultra Music Festival in Miami, then \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13876282/coachella-postponed-coronavirus-stagecoach-october-flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coachella\u003c/a>. The city of San Francisco, where King Most is based, advised a halt on mass gatherings and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1237792593619996672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">banned events\u003c/a> with attendance counts above 1,000 people. (\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Update, March 18\u003c/strong>:\u003c/em> And days later, San Francisco and five other Bay Area counties implemented a “shelter in place” order that effective shut down the arts, and every other kind of in-person business, for weeks to come.) [aside postid='arts_13876160']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These closures are necessary to keep the public safe, but it doesn’t make them any easier on musicians, performing artists and other creative professionals whose livelihoods depend on concerts, shows and parties. The music industry in particular is poorly equipped to handle the pandemic. Over the years, its profit model has shifted from selling records to touring. Most performers work for themselves and aren’t entitled to benefits such as sick leave. Though California’s \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/about_edd/coronavirus-2019.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employment Development Department\u003c/a> extended unemployment insurance benefits to some self-employed people, it’s unclear whether many musicians will meet the qualifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King Most will likely have to live off his savings for the next couple of months—and as for what lies beyond that time span, he’s not sure. “We don’t get basic safety nets like people that work [full-time jobs],” he says. “They get two weeks of paid sick leave—I don’t have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He advises music fans to support their favorite artists by buying their music directly on \u003ca href=\"https://kingmost.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bandcamp\u003c/a> while shows are being canceled. And even then, he says, “It’s cool pocket money, but not enough to make up for what I’m missing out on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we are told as artists, ‘Yeah, you don’t make money on streams, you don’t make money on selling records, but you will make money on tour,’” says singer-songwriter \u003ca href=\"https://madelinekenney.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Madeline Kenney\u003c/a>, whose upcoming tour plans hang in the air as she deliberates next steps with her team. “Unless you’re on a certain level, it’s just not true. I’ve been touring for four years, and I break even if I’m lucky. So when you take away that one chance you have to not only make a little money on your merch, but mostly to get out in front of people and hopefully start playing bigger rooms and spread the word, [it’s] a huge opportunity cost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And musicians aren’t the only ones affected—all realms of the live event industry are suffering. Robbie Kowal, the CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://www.hushconcerts.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HUSH Concerts\u003c/a>, which puts on over 1,000 silent disco events at private parties, conferences and music festivals a year, has seen a dramatic drop in business. [aside postid='science_1957877']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have no events, so there’s no industry. It’s tough, really tough,” he says, adding that he’s already lost his projected monthly gross. “We had a little bit of a cushion, and that’s enabled us to make sure our people can get paid through right now.

He was set to fly to Austin for South by Southwest to DJ several showcases, including a set with buzzed-about bilingual singer La Doña. And he had several private gigs lined up—weddings, tech company parties and the like—that would earn him a sizable chunk of income, in the upper four figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as coronavirus began to spread in the United States, event producers began taking precautions to stop the spread of the illness, which the World Health Organization is now calling a global pandemic.

The music industry in particular is poorly equipped to handle the pandemic. Over the years, its profit model has shifted from selling records to touring. Most performers work for themselves and aren’t entitled to benefits such as sick leave. Though California’s \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/about_edd/coronavirus-2019.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employment Development Department\u003c/a> extended unemployment insurance benefits to some self-employed people, it’s unclear whether many musicians will meet the qualifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King Most will likely have to live off his savings for the next couple of months—and as for what lies beyond that time span, he’s not sure. “We don’t get basic safety nets like people that work [full-time jobs],” he says. “They get two weeks of paid sick leave—I don’t have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He advises music fans to support their favorite artists by buying their music directly on \u003ca href=\"https://kingmost.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bandcamp\u003c/a> while shows are being canceled. And even then, he says, “It’s cool pocket money, but not enough to make up for what I’m missing out on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So when you take away that one chance you have to not only make a little money on your merch, but mostly to get out in front of people and hopefully start playing bigger rooms and spread the word, [it’s] a huge opportunity cost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And musicians aren’t the only ones affected—all realms of the live event industry are suffering.

"content": "\u003cp>As listening habits have shifted away from radio, visual media have become more important for discovering new music. As key scenes in films and television shows unfold, we may find ourselves searching online to identify what song we’re hearing. But who decides what song is playing during those moments?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a music supervisor, Amanda Krieg Thomas has worked on hit TV shows such as \u003cem>The\u003c/em> \u003cem>Americans\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Pose\u003c/em>. She says she gets upwards of 50 pitches a day from people looking to get songs on TV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s record labels; there’s music publishers; there’s third party pitching companies; there are production music libraries, producers, songwriters, managers, artists,” she lists. “I get music sent to me all day, every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re all hoping for something called “sync placement,” the industry term for matching a song to what’s happening on screen. Licensing that song could earn an artist anywhere from a few thousand dollars to more than $100,000. Negotiating the terms often involves clearing the rights with everyone from record labels to multiple songwriters on a single track. But Krieg Thomas says the creative element can be challenging, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all led by the showrunner’s vision, and so my job is servicing that vision,” she says. “Sometimes that involves pitching song ideas, sometimes it involves clearing songs they want. Sometimes it involves coming up with the tapestry, if you will, of the sound of the show.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music supervisor Gabe McDonough does the same, only for major advertising campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, he helped broker a deal with Ford to feature “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5zE1_oCCH4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sustained TV exposure helped drive the single up to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and ignite Platten’s career as multi-platinum selling artist. McDonough says there is no perfect song for an ad, though certain generalities apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Usually it’s up tempo, it’s positive, a lot of syncopation,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McDonough says he also tries his best to avoid clichés and trends in song placements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, you’ll hear that [loud thumping] in a lot of ads where people are trying to be swaggery and tough,” he says. “Before that, there was this ‘ukuleles and hand claps and whistles’ thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McDonough says what matters most to brands is whether the song can help tell a story in 30 seconds; for artists, it’s how often that story reaches our ears, but both benefit from media buy, or how often the commercial runs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s brute force,” McDonough says. “How many times is that thing in front of people?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1VXEo0MQZw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Putting songs in front of listeners used to be the domain of record label A&R reps, industry talent scouts who lean on radio DJs to promote entry-level artists. But today, TV has become so effective, even established artists such as \u003ca href=\"https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/06/grimes-thats-what-the-drugs-are-for-apple/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grimes\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.stereogum.com/2031377/migos-position-to-win/music/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Migos\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/15333650/beck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beck\u003c/a> are signing deals to plug their songs in ads before they appear on album releases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the words of music supervisor Morgan Rhodes: “Placement is sort of the new A&R.” Rhodes says she looks for opportunities to introduce audiences to artists who haven’t been widely exposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the educational and historical part,” she says. “I love the research.

As key scenes in films and television shows unfold, we may find ourselves searching online to identify what song we’re hearing. But who decides what song is playing during those moments?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a music supervisor, Amanda Krieg Thomas has worked on hit TV shows such as \u003cem>The\u003c/em> \u003cem>Americans\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Pose\u003c/em>. She says she gets upwards of 50 pitches a day from people looking to get songs on TV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s record labels; there’s music publishers; there’s third party pitching companies; there are production music libraries, producers, songwriters, managers, artists,” she lists. “I get music sent to me all day, every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re all hoping for something called “sync placement,” the industry term for matching a song to what’s happening on screen. Licensing that song could earn an artist anywhere from a few thousand dollars to more than $100,000. Negotiating the terms often involves clearing the rights with everyone from record labels to multiple songwriters on a single track. But Krieg Thomas says the creative element can be challenging, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all led by the showrunner’s vision, and so my job is servicing that vision,” she says. “Sometimes that involves pitching song ideas, sometimes it involves clearing songs they want. Sometimes it involves coming up with the tapestry, if you will, of the sound of the show.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Fans of the VH1 reality show \u003cem>RuPaul’s Drag Race \u003c/em>know that every episode ends with a mantra. After finishing the weekly challenge, the drag queens competing for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” (and a hefty cash prize) gather on the runway before host RuPaul Charles, where the drag icon proclaims: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RuPaul says that repeating these words is an important touchstone—both for the show and for life: “These mantras are set to align you with the truth of who you are,” he says. “You are love—and you cannot give something that you do not have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RuPaul got his start in Atlanta in the ’80s, performing a punk-inspired “genderf***” drag—for example, pairing an old prom dress and a tiara with combat boots and a mohawk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did drag as a social commentary,” he says. “It was a reaction to the Reagan ’80s, and it wasn’t trying to look real or pass [as a woman]. It was a rebellion against the status quo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1993, RuPaul’s break-out hit \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9LOrHU8JI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Supermodel (You Better Work)”\u003c/a> brought him—and drag—national attention. Now 59, he sits at the helm of a drag empire. Since it began in 2009, \u003cem>RuPaul’s Drag Race\u003c/em> has launched the careers of hundreds of drag queens. The Emmy-winning series, now in its 12th season, has spin-offs in Chile, Thailand, Canada and the U.K.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9LOrHU8JI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RuPaul, who splits time between Los Angeles and a 60,000-acre ranch in Wyoming, says one of the secrets to his success is adaptability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this life, if you can stay flexible, you have a really good chance of navigating a really rich experience for yourself on this planet,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Interview highlights\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On his belief that identity is an illusion \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s all a lie—this world is a lie. So don’t base your value on the lie. I’ve always been attracted to things that were irreverent, [like] Monty Python, I thought, “Oh, there’s my tribe!” Because even as a kid, I knew that I had a sense that none of this was real, that it was all an illusion and that it would be a mistake to base my value on the lie: Boys, go here. Girls go there. Blacks over here, whites over here … all these superficial rules we come up with are just BS!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how his mother influenced his punk sensibility \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mother was very world-weary. She was someone who I suspect—and she wasn’t very open about anything in her childhood or her background—but I suspect that some horrible thing had happened to her. I felt that. She never talked about it, but she was someone who, because of her world weariness, she instilled in me the ability to not pay attention to what other people had to say about what I was doing. She loved me so much, and she was so proud of the fact that I was gonna do my own thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was a very punk rock approach to life, and I got that from her. She famously says, “If they ain’t paying your bills, pay them no mind.” And I lived my life that way. Yes, I mean, people have said lots of nasty things about me to me and still do, but am I gonna let that stop me? Uh-uh. I will laugh at it and say … The joke is on you, person, because I am going to get as much out of this life as I possibly can—and I have! At 59 years old, I have done a lot of stuff and I’m still going to do a lot of stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the nightclub scene in the Village in New York in the late ’80s \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were the children of Warhol. We were the children of David Bowie. And all things were possible. There was a club scene. And back then there were so many clubs. You could go to six different nightclubs per night. And we’re talking Monday through Sunday. You could go every night to a different nightclub. And back then, the clubs were filled with everyone—straight, gay, black, white, Puerto Rican, uptown, downtown, men, women, everybody. And that was the scene, that tapestry of what New York is, or was, was so evident in the nightclub scene. And it was fabulous! It was gorgeous. I’m so proud and so happy I got to experience that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On establishing the “Glamizon” look of drag he’s now known for today\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[In 1989] I worked on a demo tape so I could send it to a record company. And that’s what I did for a year. I worked on a demo and basically ate popcorn and seltzer water from the Film Forum because I had a friend who worked there, and so that’s how I sustained myself. And I do a … few gigs here and there. But I wasn’t in the clubs every night like I had been. And in ’92, I got a record deal with Tommy Boy Records, which was a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Records. I had also met with Mathu and Zaldy, two visual designers [on] costume, makeup, everything, and we’d come up with my look, which was then elevated from my \u003cem>Soul Train \u003c/em>dancer look … to the glamazon that you know today. It’s very studied and precise … and that’s how it came about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But also, I knew that, commercially, as someone who’s paying attention, that if I wanted to make it mainstream, I would have to be non-threatening to Betty and Joe Beer Can. And what I did was I came up with a recipe, which was one-part Cher, two-parts David Bowie, one-part Diana Ross and two heaping spoonfuls of Dolly Parton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On why drag queens model themselves after the icons like Cher, Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll tell you exactly what it is: It is that they embody both strength and vulnerability. And that is what the child in you, in me and everyone listening remembers, deep in the recesses of your consciousness. … The ability to oscillate between those two emotions, that the strength and the vulnerability is what we are doing on this planet. And that balance, dear listener, is what life is all about. It’s not one or the other.

After finishing the weekly challenge, the drag queens competing for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” (and a hefty cash prize) gather on the runway before host RuPaul Charles, where the drag icon proclaims: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RuPaul says that repeating these words is an important touchstone—both for the show and for life: “These mantras are set to align you with the truth of who you are,” he says. “You are love—and you cannot give something that you do not have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RuPaul got his start in Atlanta in the ’80s, performing a punk-inspired “genderf***” drag—for example, pairing an old prom dress and a tiara with combat boots and a mohawk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did drag as a social commentary,” he says. “It was a reaction to the Reagan ’80s, and it wasn’t trying to look real or pass [as a woman]. It was a rebellion against the status quo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1993, RuPaul’s break-out hit \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9LOrHU8JI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Supermodel (You Better Work)”\u003c/a> brought him—and drag—national attention. Now 59, he sits at the helm of a drag empire. Since it began in 2009, \u003cem>RuPaul’s Drag Race\u003c/em> has launched the careers of hundreds of drag queens. The Emmy-winning series, now in its 12th season, has spin-offs in Chile, Thailand, Canada and the U.K.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So don’t base your value on the lie. I’ve always been attracted to things that were irreverent, [like] Monty Python, I thought, “Oh, there’s my tribe!” Because even as a kid, I knew that I had a sense that none of this was real, that it was all an illusion and that it would be a mistake to base my value on the lie: Boys, go here. Girls go there. Blacks over here, whites over here … all these superficial rules we come up with are just BS!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how his mother influenced his punk sensibility \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mother was very world-weary. She was someone who I suspect—and she wasn’t very open about anything in her childhood or her background—but I suspect that some horrible thing had happened to her. I felt that. She never talked about it, but she was someone who, because of her world weariness, she instilled in me the ability to not pay attention to what other people had to say about what I was doing. She loved me so much, and she was so proud of the fact that I was gonna do my own thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was a very punk rock approach to life, and I got that from her. She famously says, “If they ain’t paying your bills, pay them no mind.” And I lived my life that way. Yes, I mean, people have said lots of nasty things about me to me and still do, but am I gonna let that stop me? Uh-uh. I will laugh at it and say … The joke is on you, person, because I am going to get as much out of this life as I possibly can—and I have! At 59 years old, I have done a lot of stuff and I’m still going to do a lot of stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the nightclub scene in the Village in New York in the late ’80s \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were the children of Warhol. We were the children of David Bowie. And all things were possible. There was a club scene. And back then there were so many clubs. You could go to six different nightclubs per night. And we’re talking Monday through Sunday. You could go every night to a different nightclub. And back then, the clubs were filled with everyone—straight, gay, black, white, Puerto Rican, uptown, downtown, men, women, everybody. And that was the scene, that tapestry of what New York is, or was, was so evident in the nightclub scene. And it was fabulous! It was gorgeous. I’m so proud and so happy I got to experience that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On establishing the “Glamizon” look of drag he’s now known for today\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[In 1989] I worked on a demo tape so I could send it to a record company. And that’s what I did for a year. I worked on a demo and basically ate popcorn and seltzer water from the Film Forum because I had a friend who worked there, and so that’s how I sustained myself. And I do a … few gigs here and there. But I wasn’t in the clubs every night like I had been. And in ’92, I got a record deal with Tommy Boy Records, which was a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Records. I had also met with Mathu and Zaldy, two visual designers [on] costume, makeup, everything, and we’d come up with my look, which was then elevated from my \u003cem>Soul Train \u003c/em>dancer look … to the glamazon that you know today. It’s very studied and precise … and that’s how it came about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But also, I knew that, commercially, as someone who’s paying attention, that if I wanted to make it mainstream, I would have to be non-threatening to Betty and Joe Beer Can. And what I did was I came up with a recipe, which was one-part Cher, two-parts David Bowie, one-part Diana Ross and two heaping spoonfuls of Dolly Parton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On why drag queens model themselves after the icons like Cher, Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll tell you exactly what it is: It is that they embody both strength and vulnerability. And that is what the child in you, in me and everyone listening remembers, deep in the recesses of your consciousness. … The ability to oscillate between those two emotions, that the strength and the vulnerability is what we are doing on this planet. And that balance, dear listener, is what life is all about. It’s not one or the other. And all of these women that you talked about—Cher and Diana, Barbra—they all exemplify … that vulnerability and strength, that duality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
