He was 74.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clark died Tuesday at his home in Nashville, Tennessee, according to his manager, Keith Case. He’d been in poor health, although Case didn’t give an official cause of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A native of Monahans, Texas, Clark belonged to a group of highly influential Texas songwriters that included Townes Van Zandt and Mickey Newbury. Together with his painter-songwriter wife, Susanna, Clark’s home in Nashville became a gathering place for artists like Rodney Crowell and Steve Earle. He wrote songs for Johnny Cash, Ricky Skaggs, Jerry Jeff Walker, Bobby Bare, Vince Gill and John Conlee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born in 1941, Clark’s upbringing in west Texas inspired the scenes and characters for many of his songs, including “Desperados,” based on an oil well digger who once stayed at his grandmother’s shotgun hotel. His interest in music was inspired by his father’s law partner, and most of the first songs he learned to sing and play were in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He moved to Houston in the 1960s, where he met Van Zandt and several other folk songwriters and played in coffee shops and bars. He married his first wife, Susan Spaw, and they had a son, Travis, in 1966. After his split with Susan, he met painter Susanna Talley and they moved to Los Angeles to pursue his music career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His dissatisfaction with the city’s hectic lifestyle was the basis of his song “L.A. Freeway,” which was recorded by Walker on his debut album. He and Susanna moved to Nashville in 1971, where his success as a songwriter led to a recording contract with RCA, and he released his first album, “Old No. 1,” in 1975. The album included songs like “She Ain’t Going Nowhere” and “Texas 1947,” which Cash also recorded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only songs I have gotten cut were the ones I wrote for myself to sing,” Clark said in an interview with The Associated Press in 2013. “And I didn’t even think about the radio. Or think about other artists doing them. So I just quit wasting my time thinking about it. Because the best work always comes from writing for yourself and writing stuff you know about, rather than, ‘What would George Jones like?’ or ‘What would George Strait like?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His home was a Bohemian artistic enclave, with paintings on the wall and stacked in every corner, hundreds of tapes of recordings and a workshop where he made dobros and guitars. He was close friends with many of Nashville’s talented musicians, including Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett and Shawn Camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was the best self-editor that I have ever known … and it was one of the first gifts of generosity he gave me,” said Crowell, who wrote many songs with Clark, including his hit, “She’s Crazy for Leavin'” and “Stuff That Works.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s almost like his music was embedded in the land,” said fellow Texan Sarah Jarosz, a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and mandolin player. “The songs, with their depth, soul and simplicity were an important part of life for so many. As a young songwriter, I continue to find great inspiration from his music — a never ending journey and discovery of masterful songwriting. He touched countless lives with the gift of song, and the world is a much better place having had him in it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His songs were very detailed, literary and full of imagery, such as “The Randall Knife,” about the knife his father carried with him through World War II. A tribute album to Clark, “This One’s for Him,” which featured recordings by Rosanne Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and John Prine, won album of the year at the Americana Music Association’s Honors and Awards in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clark received the Poet’s Award from the Academy of Country Music in 2012. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am glad that I raised the bar to some extent, if in fact I did, but, I mean, you can’t live on that every day,” Clark said in 2013. “You have to reinvent yourself the next day. You have to write as good and continue to do so. And that gets harder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recorded several albums, and although he never achieved the same success as a performer, but he was beloved in the folk and Americana musical community. His final album, “My Favorite Picture of You,” won a Grammy in 2014 for best folk album. The title song was inspired by his wife, who died in 2012 and who is featured on the album’s cover. The picture shows a frustrated Susanna, her arms crossed and a glare on her face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Townes (Van Zandt) and I were in that house that she is in front of and we were drunk, drunk, just obnoxiously drunk,” Clark said during a 2013 interview with the AP. “And she had just had enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is survived by his son Travis and daughter-in-law Krista McMurtry Clark; grandchildren Dylan and Ellie Clark; sisters Caroline Clark Dugan and Jan Clark. Funeral arrangements are pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>__\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. \u003c/p>\n\n",

A tribute album to Clark, “This One’s for Him,” which featured recordings by Rosanne Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and John Prine, won album of the year at the Americana Music Association’s Honors and Awards in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clark received the Poet’s Award from the Academy of Country Music in 2012. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am glad that I raised the bar to some extent, if in fact I did, but, I mean, you can’t live on that every day,” Clark said in 2013. “You have to reinvent yourself the next day. You have to write as good and continue to do so. And that gets harder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recorded several albums, and although he never achieved the same success as a performer, but he was beloved in the folk and Americana musical community. His final album, “My Favorite Picture of You,” won a Grammy in 2014 for best folk album. The title song was inspired by his wife, who died in 2012 and who is featured on the album’s cover. The picture shows a frustrated Susanna, her arms crossed and a glare on her face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Townes (Van Zandt) and I were in that house that she is in front of and we were drunk, drunk, just obnoxiously drunk,” Clark said during a 2013 interview with the AP. “And she had just had enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is survived by his son Travis and daughter-in-law Krista McMurtry Clark; grandchildren Dylan and Ellie Clark; sisters Caroline Clark Dugan and Jan Clark. Funeral arrangements are pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>__\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Destiny's Child tracks, in particular, became something like a tangled teaser-medley of lyrics about independent ladies and survivors and jelly (\u003cem>this\u003c/em> jelly, to be specific, and whether or not you're ready for it).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the show charged on, my initial frustration at the medley approach to early songs was outweighed by the power of juxtaposition; nothing highlights how much she's grown like hearing 2003's \"Baby Boy\" (ft. Sean Paul, though this show did not, thankfully, feature Sean Paul) in close proximity to the layered, orchestral, triumphant \"All Night\" -- which Beyoncé referred to as her favorite song to sing from the new album, because \"it's about redemption.\" (See: knife-thrower storyline crafting, above.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That juxtaposition also helped to eliminate any doubt that this woman can carry a stadium show by herself. Not only was Jay Z conspicuously missing from the premises, his parts were actually removed from her songs -- and I didn't miss them.

But it was tough not to draw a comparison to Taylor Swift's '1989' tour, which also came to Levi's Stadium, and during which the stage became something like the set for an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/08/17/live-review-taylor-swift-regular-super-normal-girl-like-you-and-me-at-levis-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">over-the-top, Taylor Swift-themed musical\u003c/a>; the dancers and complex video elements at that performance seemed crucial to making it interesting enough to last two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24595\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-800x579.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (8)\" width=\"800\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-400x290.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-768x556.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1440x1042.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1920x1390.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-960x695.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Beyoncé's on stage, you don't need much else.

Together, barefoot, they took to a rectangular, ankle-deep pool of water at the edge of the catwalk to dance for the duration of \"Freedom,\" the drum-driven, heart-pounding Kendrick Lamar collaboration on \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>.

But more importantly: after watching the most famous woman in the country work harder and tougher and more joyfully than I’ve ever seen any human work on a stage before -- and we’re talking \u003ci>hard\u003c/i> calisthenics, for two straight hours, in a series of high-heeled boots and glittery, thong-bottomed jumpsuits, long curls loose and flying, while belting her way through more than 30 songs from her 17-year career, all without once sounding out of breath -- it's also never been more obvious why it's wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re proud of who you are, say ‘I slay,’” said B early in the evening, smiling and scanning the stadium, assessing her crowd as it roared to life. We'd been treated to Too $hort, E-40 and DJ Khaled while we waited, which in most other circumstances would be quite the show, full-stop, in and of itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Destiny's Child tracks, in particular, became something like a tangled teaser-medley of lyrics about independent ladies and survivors and jelly (\u003cem>this\u003c/em> jelly, to be specific, and whether or not you're ready for it).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the show charged on, my initial frustration at the medley approach to early songs was outweighed by the power of juxtaposition; nothing highlights how much she's grown like hearing 2003's \"Baby Boy\" (ft. Sean Paul, though this show did not, thankfully, feature Sean Paul) in close proximity to the layered, orchestral, triumphant \"All Night\" -- which Beyoncé referred to as her favorite song to sing from the new album, because \"it's about redemption.\" (See: knife-thrower storyline crafting, above.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That juxtaposition also helped to eliminate any doubt that this woman can carry a stadium show by herself. Not only was Jay Z conspicuously missing from the premises, his parts were actually removed from her songs -- and I didn't miss them. In the same vein, the sets were certainly big visually (video clips from \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>, aerial dancers and complicated platforms of various sizes, fireworks, more than a half-dozen costume changes). But it was tough not to draw a comparison to Taylor Swift's '1989' tour, which also came to Levi's Stadium, and during which the stage became something like the set for an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/08/17/live-review-taylor-swift-regular-super-normal-girl-like-you-and-me-at-levis-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">over-the-top, Taylor Swift-themed musical\u003c/a>; the dancers and complex video elements at that performance seemed crucial to making it interesting enough to last two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24595\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-800x579.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (8)\" width=\"800\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-400x290.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-768x556.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1440x1042.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1920x1390.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-960x695.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Beyoncé's on stage, you don't need much else. I never got to see Michael Jackson live, but I have to imagine it was a little like this.

Together, barefoot, they took to a rectangular, ankle-deep pool of water at the edge of the catwalk to dance for the duration of \"Freedom,\" the drum-driven, heart-pounding Kendrick Lamar collaboration on \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>. Hair was flying, water was flying, arms and legs took the shape of wings. It looked primal. It looked like liberation. It looked exhausting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, she doesn't \u003cem>have\u003c/em> to work this hard,\" I yelled to my friend, as her dancers left and Beyoncé closed the show solo, still barefoot, with \"Halo.\" \"She's not even lip-syncing!\" my friend yelled back, and it was true: Beyoncé was clearly singing her ass off, all while doing squats and lunges and high-kicks in heels for, let me repeat it, 120 minutes straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24596\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (5)\" width=\"640\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-400x395.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the thought I woke up with this morning -- after three hours of traffic and three and a half hours of sleep -- was something like: Actually, she \u003cem>does\u003c/em> have to work that hard. Because the more \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/05/03/every-track-on-beyonces-lemonade-debuts-on-billboard-hot-100-as-radiohead-fades-out-or-maybe-not/\" target=\"_blank\">records she breaks\u003c/a>, the more people are waiting for her to slip. No matter \u003cem>what\u003c/em> she does, people will line up to say she doesn't deserve her success, that she's a pretty lady pop star propped up by shrewd male writers and producers; to proclaim that her newfound public political consciousness is just a well-crafted but disingenuous marketing ploy, instead of entertaining the possibility that a 34-year-old performer who's been in the spotlight since age 16 might grow up and develop fresh ideas and want to go in new directions, and that doing all of that on an international stage will obviously, at times, get messy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But whether it was calculated or genuine or somewhere in between, the sparkle of a tear in Beyoncé's eye as she put her hand to her chest, looked around the stadium, and smiled a gracious, humble, goddamn beautiful smile before saying \"thank you\" one last time and disappearing below the stage said everything I needed to know about what \u003cem>she\u003c/em> thinks she deserves. She might not have always been clear on that. It might have even taken heartbreak for her to see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if that's not proof that the personal is political -- especially, yes, if you're a woman, and \u003cem>especially\u003c/em> if you're an obscenely famous woman of color in America -- I sure as hell don't know what is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>--\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24597\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-10-800x595.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (10)\" width=\"800\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-10-800x595.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-10-400x297.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-10-768x571.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-10-1440x1071.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-10-1920x1427.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-10-1180x877.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-10-960x714.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some non-\u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em> highlights and stray thoughts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Would be remiss not to mention the gut-punch-emotional cover of Prince's \"The Beautiful Ones\" that ended with B on all fours, belting into the mic like it was a lifeline, followed by a set break/costume change during which the LED skyscraper glowed purple, the entirety of \"Purple Rain\" blasted over the sound system, and confetti fell from the sky while nearly 50,000 cell phone lights swayed from side to side.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Also, a chorus from D'Angelo's \"Untitled (How Does It Feel)\" popping up in the midst of \"Rocket.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>On at least three separate occasions when Beyoncé crouched down and invited the front row to sing into the microphone, the crowd members who apparently grabbed said opportunity were adult men who then growl-yelled the next lyric so forcefully that she started cracking up.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Waiting to see how many Beyoncé-sweat covered towels show up on eBay in the next week or two, as she obliged at least five or six fans who offered relief from the front row.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The parking situation was a nightmare both on the way in and the way out.

Wrapping up the hungered-for \"personal story\" in a shiny bow and demanding payment for it the way Beyoncé has with this record and tour is one of the smartest chess moves in pop music history, and I don't care whose idea you think it was.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>As the throngs of people shoved toward the exits, a man \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/gmeline/status/732459633848127490\" target=\"_blank\">got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend\u003c/a>, prompting shrieks from about a hundred people nearby. She said yes, of course, and they hugged. Then a quick-witted bystander offered the bride-to-be some sage advice: \"Take his ass to Red Lobster!\" Really hope she did.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last night, at a City Arts and Lectures event hosted by Dave Eggers, I found out that I had more to learn about the latter. Here are all the new things I discovered about Joanna Newsom and her music:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Her most interesting fan interaction: A woman approached Joanna, presented her tween daughter and said she gave birth to her while listening to Joanna's music.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The event took place on Hayes Street at the Nourse Theater, which reminded Joanna of her time working in retail on that very street years ago. She said she was awful at it. When women would try garments on and fish for permission to buy something expensive by saying things like \"It's so beautiful, but I should probably pay rent,\" Joanna would say \"That sounds important! You should pay rent!\" instead of the shop girl refrain, \"Oh, forget that! You deserve it!\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Joanna said she was a flaky kid, but that music was \"the thing I never flaked on.\" She learned how to play the piano at the age of four and went on to learn how to play the harp at the age of eight. A childhood teacher recently sent Joanna sheet music of her first ever composition. It was about a camel.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Her very first song was titled \"Flying a Kite.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>When Joanna was at Mills College, she started out as a composition major, but soon switched over to a self study in West African music and then later to creative writing. She claims her poems were terrible, until she realized that they were actually songs.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Joanna is a huge Nabokov fan. She went as far as writing a paper in college on the color mauve's role in \u003cem>Lolita\u003c/em>, one of her all-time favorite pieces of literature.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Joanna says she's \"kind of a jock about songwriting.\" When she gets it right, she bro-yells \"YEAH!\" and goes around kicking things.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>She sang all the harmonies on her last album \u003cem>Divers\u003c/em> to keep up the theme of time folding onto itself. She wanted the layered vocals to symbolize different versions of herself traveling from parallel universes to sing in harmony with each other.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>When asked to explain the concept behind \u003cem>Divers\u003c/em>, Joanna shared that she wanted it to evoke the questions: \"What's the point? Why are we all doing [this] if it all gets extinguished in the end?\" She also intended for the album to represent someone who has just realized that we all die and the journey it takes to process that information.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>On the last record, Joanna had a rule that no collaborator would be in the room for more than one purpose to ensure clarity of purpose.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Before recording \u003cem>Have One on Me\u003c/em>, Joanna tried to sing one day and heard a pop and a hiss emanate from her throat, like opening a soda can. Turns out she had developed nodes on her vocal chords from extensive touring without proper vocal training. Surgery was encouraged, but because of horror stories Joanna had heard about how some who undergo the process lose their ability to sing, she decided to go on a two-month vocal rest instead.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>She would walk around with a button that explained that she wasn't speaking and a dry-erase board to communicate. Because her hometown of Nevada City is also home to a lot of performance artists and buskers, many thought it was an art project. So she changed the language, only to then have people assume she had a \"horrible disease\" or that she was dying. She eventually figured out the right message to get the point across.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>After her vocal rest, she gained 5 notes at the top of her register and 6 notes at the bottom. She now practices \"the same hygiene\" on her voice as she does with her harp, by doing vocal exercises for 30 minutes before every sound check, rehearsal and performance.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The way she found out Paul Thomas Anderson wanted her to be in the film adaptation of \u003cem>Inherent Vice\u003c/em>: Warner Bros. called out of the blue asking for measurements.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Like the rest of us, Joanna also procrastinates. Her poison: shopping for antiques online.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Joanna loves Kate Bush, but did not fall in love with her until after she had debuted on the musical scene, despite many critics claiming Bush must have been a strong influence early on.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Her favorite methods of self-care and healing: going on walks and cooking for others. \"I love the slowness of it.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>When she's making music, Joanna doesn't imagine anyone ever hearing her songs. Instead, she works from the mindset of living in a post-apocalyptic world and recording from a bomb shelter.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Want to keep your Joanna Newsom education going, check out all these big words from \u003cem>Divers\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/10/26/all-the-big-words-youll-learn-from-joanna-newsoms-new-album-divers/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Surgery was encouraged, but because of horror stories Joanna had heard about how some who undergo the process lose their ability to sing, she decided to go on a two-month vocal rest instead.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>She would walk around with a button that explained that she wasn't speaking and a dry-erase board to communicate. Because her hometown of Nevada City is also home to a lot of performance artists and buskers, many thought it was an art project. So she changed the language, only to then have people assume she had a \"horrible disease\" or that she was dying. She eventually figured out the right message to get the point across.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>After her vocal rest, she gained 5 notes at the top of her register and 6 notes at the bottom. She now practices \"the same hygiene\" on her voice as she does with her harp, by doing vocal exercises for 30 minutes before every sound check, rehearsal and performance.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The way she found out Paul Thomas Anderson wanted her to be in the film adaptation of \u003cem>Inherent Vice\u003c/em>: Warner Bros. called out of the blue asking for measurements.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Like the rest of us, Joanna also procrastinates. Her poison: shopping for antiques online.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Joanna loves Kate Bush, but did not fall in love with her until after she had debuted on the musical scene, despite many critics claiming Bush must have been a strong influence early on.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Her favorite methods of self-care and healing: going on walks and cooking for others. \"I love the slowness of it.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>When she's making music, Joanna doesn't imagine anyone ever hearing her songs. Instead, she works from the mindset of living in a post-apocalyptic world and recording from a bomb shelter.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Want to keep your Joanna Newsom education going, check out all these big words from \u003cem>Divers\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>On a bright morning in Alameda in early May, a bluegrass band plays to about 30 people in sun hats and T-shirts. The crowd is here to tour a native plant garden, but the music commands most of the attention. The four-piece band exchanges virtuosic solos, and the crowd responds clapping along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one look would tell you this group isn’t an ordinary bluegrass band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the song, the guitarist, Daisy Kerr, steps forward to the microphone. “We’re the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ramblingminors.com/\">Rambling Minors\u003c/a>,” she announces, adding “Minors: M-I-N-O-R-S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/264036523\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daisy Kerr is 11 years old. She’s slight, almost dwarfed by her adult-size Martin D-28 guitar. On either side of her stand Miles and Matteo Quayle. Miles is 12, and an accomplished fiddle player. His brother, who goes by Teo, plays the mandolin. Andrew Osborn, 13, stands tall behind Daisy and Miles, easily handling his stand-up bass. Despite their mature sound, none of them have started high school yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most surprising thing about the members of this band isn’t their age. It’s that four California youngsters have dedicated themselves to a genre more closely associated with Southern old-timers. Most of the Minors have been playing since they were big enough to hold an instrument, but they mostly played with their families and music teachers. So, when they found other kids who loved bluegrass as much as they did, they were pretty excited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10954686\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10954686 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"The Rambling Minors perform at the “Bringing Back the Natives” garden tour in Alameda. \" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-400x266.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-1180x785.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-960x639.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Rambling Minors perform at the 'Bringing Back the Natives' garden tour in Alameda. \u003ccite>(Lacy Jane Roberts/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It all started in 2014 at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbaweb.org/Events/FathersDayFestival\">Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival in Grass Valley\u003c/a>. The four Minors, along with former bandmate D’Jango Ruckrich, met through the festival’s Kids on Bluegrass program. The following year, Miles and Teo’s mom, Maria Quayle, arranged a meetup with D’Jango’s parents, and Daisy joined in. They jammed together for the first time at the festival campground, surrounded by pine trees, tents and pickup trucks. Quayle remembers her boys’ excitement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that something really just clicked,” she recalls. “It was like, ‘Wow, I’ve just met some kids that can play like us and enjoy the music, and they play Frisbee!’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before they even had a band name, they scored their first gig, performing at a harvest festival at Full Belly Farm in Yolo County.

It’s that four California youngsters have dedicated themselves to a genre more closely associated with Southern old-timers. Most of the Minors have been playing since they were big enough to hold an instrument, but they mostly played with their families and music teachers. So, when they found other kids who loved bluegrass as much as they did, they were pretty excited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10954686\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10954686 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"The Rambling Minors perform at the “Bringing Back the Natives” garden tour in Alameda. \" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-400x266.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-1180x785.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RamblinMinors2-960x639.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Rambling Minors perform at the 'Bringing Back the Natives' garden tour in Alameda. \u003ccite>(Lacy Jane Roberts/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It all started in 2014 at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbaweb.org/Events/FathersDayFestival\">Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival in Grass Valley\u003c/a>. The four Minors, along with former bandmate D’Jango Ruckrich, met through the festival’s Kids on Bluegrass program. The following year, Miles and Teo’s mom, Maria Quayle, arranged a meetup with D’Jango’s parents, and Daisy joined in. They jammed together for the first time at the festival campground, surrounded by pine trees, tents and pickup trucks. Quayle remembers her boys’ excitement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that something really just clicked,” she recalls. “It was like, ‘Wow, I’ve just met some kids that can play like us and enjoy the music, and they play Frisbee!’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before they even had a band name, they scored their first gig, performing at a harvest festival at Full Belly Farm in Yolo County.

In fact, this is how it opens: “When strangers\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>are coming / They come to your house / They kill you all, and say ‘we’re not guilty.’ … You think you are gods, but everyone dies.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politics are never far from the glittery surface at Eurovision – indeed, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/14/ukraine-wins-eurovision-jamala-1944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian says\u003c/a> it was “seen by many as the most politicised version of the competition to date.” Many have interpreted “1944” as a thinly-veiled anti-Russian anthem, considering Russia’s annexation of Crimea two years ago. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/05/13/477810126/lightshows-fire-nudity-glitter-wolves-welcome-to-eurovision-2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As we reported,\u003c/a> Jamala, who is Tatar, maintains the song is “personal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, speaking to \u003cem>the Guardian\u003c/em> after her win, she says it has current relevance:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“Of course it’s about 2014 as well. These two years have added so much sadness to my life. Imagine – you’re a creative person, a singer, but you can’t go home for two years. You see your grandfather on Skype, who is 90 years old and ill, but you can’t visit him. What am I supposed to do: just sing nice songs and forget about it? Of course I can’t do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>After her win, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eurovision.tv/live/live_the_winners_press_conference_with_jamala\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she told reporters that\u003c/a> “I was sure that, if you sing about truth, it can really touch people. And I was right.” She added that she dedicated the performance to her great-grandmother and said she prepared for the performance by listening to the soundtrack of \u003cem>Schindler’s List.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russian officials have complained about the song, \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2016/05/11/jamalas-ukraine-eurovision-song-stirs-up-russia/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>the Telegraph \u003c/em>reports\u003c/a>, but “the Geneva-based organisers decided the song was not in breach of the competition’s rules against political speech.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russia is probably particularly unhappy with the result considering it was their entry that was heavily favored to win. Sergey Lazarev deployed particularly strong visuals (Wings! Glaciers! Lightning! Space!) in his performance of “You Are The Only One:”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e94dst20C9Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russia ended up in third, and Australia took the second-place spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reporter Andrew Jones was in the arena in Stockholm and describes the suspense to The Two-Way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“There was lots of tension in the reveal. It’s a new format, which meant that it wasn’t clear until the very last result was read. So people were hunched forward in their seats staring at the results screen, unsure of what was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>He adds that Australia had actually been in the top spot with only the votes of industry professionals counted, “and people were genuinely surprised when they lost their lead when the tele-voting was factored in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s Australia’s entry, Dami Im’s soaring ballad “Sound of Silence,” which was the critic’s favorite:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ymFX91HwM0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wondering why Australia is a part of the European contest? As we reported: “it’s basically because the Land Down Under is obsessed with the contest — and has been for a long time — so the [European Broadcasting Union] gave them an honorary membership of sorts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eurovision also confronted the weighty topic of the refugee crisis \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtF5WL5fhjA&index=6&list=PLxeDWjW-1i33tiF8CDPL40cQQC41sKmwm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with a dance highlighting their plight\u003c/a>. The performance (which aired during the U.S. broadcast between a Justin Timberlake interview and a spoof rendition of a perfect Eurovision act) shows the dancers apparently going through traumatic events before they are eventually presented with water to wash their ash-covered faces. They are then embraced by audience members and disappear in the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mans Zelmerlow, this year’s co-presenter and last year’s winner, says: “It is more necessary than ever before that we unite and join together, and that is literally what we do in Eurovision, where most of the countries in Europe meet together. …We obviously want to touch upon [the crisis]: anything else would be to bury your head in the sand,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/08/eurovision-2016-latex-chiffon-politics-joe-jake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winning act gets to host the next year’s competition – so that means next year’s event will take place in Kiev. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

In fact, this is how it opens: “When strangers\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>are coming / They come to your house / They kill you all, and say ‘we’re not guilty.’ … You think you are gods, but everyone dies.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politics are never far from the glittery surface at Eurovision – indeed, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/14/ukraine-wins-eurovision-jamala-1944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian says\u003c/a> it was “seen by many as the most politicised version of the competition to date.” Many have interpreted “1944” as a thinly-veiled anti-Russian anthem, considering Russia’s annexation of Crimea two years ago. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/05/13/477810126/lightshows-fire-nudity-glitter-wolves-welcome-to-eurovision-2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As we reported,\u003c/a> Jamala, who is Tatar, maintains the song is “personal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, speaking to \u003cem>the Guardian\u003c/em> after her win, she says it has current relevance:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“Of course it’s about 2014 as well. These two years have added so much sadness to my life. Imagine – you’re a creative person, a singer, but you can’t go home for two years. You see your grandfather on Skype, who is 90 years old and ill, but you can’t visit him. What am I supposed to do: just sing nice songs and forget about it? Of course I can’t do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>After her win, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eurovision.tv/live/live_the_winners_press_conference_with_jamala\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she told reporters that\u003c/a> “I was sure that, if you sing about truth, it can really touch people. And I was right.” She added that she dedicated the performance to her great-grandmother and said she prepared for the performance by listening to the soundtrack of \u003cem>Schindler’s List.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russian officials have complained about the song, \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2016/05/11/jamalas-ukraine-eurovision-song-stirs-up-russia/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>the Telegraph \u003c/em>reports\u003c/a>, but “the Geneva-based organisers decided the song was not in breach of the competition’s rules against political speech.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russia is probably particularly unhappy with the result considering it was their entry that was heavily favored to win. Sergey Lazarev deployed particularly strong visuals (Wings! Glaciers! Lightning!

It’s a new format, which meant that it wasn’t clear until the very last result was read.

The performance (which aired during the U.S. broadcast between a Justin Timberlake interview and a spoof rendition of a perfect Eurovision act) shows the dancers apparently going through traumatic events before they are eventually presented with water to wash their ash-covered faces. They are then embraced by audience members and disappear in the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mans Zelmerlow, this year’s co-presenter and last year’s winner, says: “It is more necessary than ever before that we unite and join together, and that is literally what we do in Eurovision, where most of the countries in Europe meet together. …We obviously want to touch upon [the crisis]: anything else would be to bury your head in the sand,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/08/eurovision-2016-latex-chiffon-politics-joe-jake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winning act gets to host the next year’s competition – so that means next year’s event will take place in Kiev. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

Less clear is why he sought care from a local family care physician with an unassuming resume who met with Prince twice in the weeks before his death and prescribed him unknown medications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day Prince died, he was scheduled to meet with the son of Dr. Howard Kornfeld, the California specialist in addiction treatment and pain management. But in the weeks before Prince’s April 21 death, he met twice with Dr. Michael Todd Schulenberg, who worked at a Minnetonka clinic a few miles from Prince’s Paisley Park studio and home, according to search warrant documents released Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prince’s cause of death is still unknown, as the autopsy results haven’t been released. But a law enforcement official has told The Associated Press that investigators are looking into whether he died from an overdose and whether a doctor was prescribing him drugs in the weeks before his death. The official has been briefed on the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak to the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators interviewed Schulenberg the day Prince died and searched a suburban Minneapolis hospital that employed him. The warrant documents didn’t specify what medications were prescribed or whether Prince took them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The warrant details came out the same day investigators returned to Prince’s estate and stayed for several hours without saying why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official who spoke to AP said investigators are seeking to identify every doctor and pharmacy that may have supplied the singer prescription drugs, including online sources, and that the search involves examining computer drives from Prince’s home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains unclear why Prince, a world-famous musician worth millions, would seek the help of an experienced but seemingly ordinary local physician instead of first turning to world-class health care. The Star Tribune, citing a source with knowledge of the investigation, previously reported that Prince had been receiving treatment for withdrawal symptoms from a doctor who previously worked with Prince’s longtime friend Kirk Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson’s attorney, F.

Lesa Bader, a spokeswoman for the health care system, said North Memorial’s personnel records were private and she couldn’t comment on why Schulenberg no longer works there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice website, Schulenberg has not been subjected to any disciplinary or corrective action in Minnesota or other states. He’s a 1995 graduate of the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine. His license status is listed as active. It expires Oct. 31 of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schulenberg earned his MBA in health care in 2011 from the Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. In a 2012 YouTube video posted by the university, which was removed Wednesday, Schulenberg said he was part of the “leadership group” at Ridgeview Medical Center in Carver County and that his job required him to put in demanding hours. The Ridgeview website said Schulenberg specialized in family medicine and obstetrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a full-time family physician, that probably demands about 50 hours a week,” he said in the video. “I still deliver babies, so I can be called in on an unexpected basis and there goes my evening.” Schulenberg described himself in the video as a father of five.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson, Prince’s friend, is mentioned in the search warrant documents as having been interviewed by investigators and telling them of medical treatment that Prince received for an unspecified illness in 2014 or 2015 at the Two Twelve Medical Center in Chaska. Schulenberg worked for Ridgeview Medical Center, which operates the Two Twelve, until August 2014, though its unknown whether he worked at Two Twelve when Prince was treated there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one answered the door Wednesday at the Schulenberg home in Excelsior, a Minneapolis suburb also just a few minutes’ drive from Paisley Park. The blinds were drawn and the two-story house was dark, though a ceiling fan could be seen revolving inside. Several neighbors said the development was new and they didn’t know Schulenberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At their old neighborhood in nearby Chaska, several people said the Schulenbergs were a quiet family that mostly kept to themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the search warrant revealed Tuesday, Schulenberg had seen Prince on April 7 and on April 20, the day before he died. Schulenberg told investigators he came upon the death scene at Paisley Park while dropping off unspecified test results for Prince on April 21.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day before he died, representatives for Prince reached out to Howard Kornfeld seeking help for the musician, William Mauzy, a lawyer for the California doctor, said last week.
