"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Not to mention Apple and Google, which also offer streaming platforms.) Bandcamp has plenty of engineers and Silicon Valley ties, but the company is eager to align itself with local music. Kim described the public-facing aspects of the multipurpose space as an expression of Bandcamp’s artist-first mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We needed a home for our largest cohort, and we realized the space could also further the company’s message,” Kim explained. “So we wanted a record store or a performance space. We wanted to be part of a music community, even on a neighborhood level. With Oakland, it all clicked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Fvfgs9Is4O4OtZTWCa989C6iCgbQlW7M”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the company’s 63 employees will remain distributed around the world, Kim said, 17 of them are expected to regularly work out of the 5,000-square-foot office on the corner of 19th Street and Broadway, which Bandcamp has leased for up to 15 years. Of the company’s 12 hires in the past 12 months, three were specific to running the shop and venue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Sarah Sexton, founder of the fest and label Oakland Indie Mayhem, who Bandcamp hired to manage the shop and venue. Working under her is Max Gibson, founder of the website and party outfit Wine & Bowties, and DJ Miguel Reyes. Sexton said the shows will be weekly and generally free, with local and touring acts, and will be recorded for a video series. “We want the space to be accessible,” she said, noting the shows will be all-ages and often benefiting local nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13848874\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13848874\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The first thing visitors encounter at Bandcamp’s new office is a rotating display of 99 vinyl LPs.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein-520x347.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp-Oakland-Record-Store-and-Venue-2-Courtesy-Bandcamp-Credit-Richard-Morgenstein.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The first thing visitors encounter at Bandcamp’s new office is a rotating display of 99 vinyl LPs. \u003ccite>(Richard Morgenstein)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The benefit shows will likely continue the company’s progressive record. In what it described as a gesture of solidarity with immigrants, Bandcamp donated its cut of sales from a 24-hour period to the American Civil Liberties Union in early 2017. The company has since fundraised for the Transgender Law Center and the Voting Rights Project. Kim said the company will similarly support local causes, mentioning Bay Area Girls Rock Camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grand opening party, on Feb. 1, features Jazz on the Sidewalk, a band composed of Oakland School for the Arts students, as well as local hip-hop and indie-rock acts Queens D.Light, Sol Development and Bells Atlas. Beforehand, MJ’s Brass Boppers will lead a second line-style procession from the First Fridays street fair to the company’s front door, arriving around 7pm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://bandcamp.com/\">Bandcamp\u003c/a>, which launched in 2008, offers listeners the ability to stream, download or purchase a physical copy of a given release on one page, and artists and labels set their own price for each option (often free). There’s also a social element to the site via fan accounts, whereby users can receive notifications about new releases, leave comments, and peruse each other’s collections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company, which has been profitable since 2012, takes a 10-15 percent cut of sales. (iTunes, by comparison, keeps 30 percent before further set-asides for publishers and labels.) According to the site, Bandcamp has directly paid artists more than $7.2 million in the past 30 days. Its all-time payouts recently surpassed $350 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13848877\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13848877\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah Sexton, founder of the fest and label Oakland Indie Mayhem, manages Bandcamp's record shop and venue. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp-520x347.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Sarah-Sexton-of-Bandcamp.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Sexton, founder of the fest and label Oakland Indie Mayhem, manages Bandcamp’s record shop and venue. \u003ccite>(Sam Lefebvre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For artists leery of the middlemen between them and Spotify or Tidal, which are often criticized for paltry payouts, Bandcamp is a go-to service. Similarly to how some rappers are synonymous with Soundcloud, indie-rock and underground punk and metal are closely associated with Bandcamp. (To wit, in 2017 a meme satirically contrasted the \u003ca href=\"https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/soundcloud-vs-bandcamp-meme/\">respective aesthetics\u003c/a> of each service’s users.) Legacy indies such as Sub Pop and Dischord have label accounts, and the site is central to the breakout bedroom-songwriter narratives of Jay Som and Car Seat Headrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016 the company hired several writers to staff its blog, the \u003ca href=\"https://daily.bandcamp.com/\">Bandcamp Daily\u003c/a>, which offers positive coverage of artists on the site. The Daily staff will remain in New York, but the Bandcamp Weekly, a radio show hosted by former Ubiquity Records A&R Andrew Jervis, will be recorded at the Oakland office. (This writer contributed to the Daily between 2016-2018.) The forthcoming video series, recorded on-site, will further bolster the site’s promotional infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13848951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-800x546.jpg\" alt=\"Signage at Bandcamp's new Oakland offices goes up on Jan. 17, 2019.\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13848951\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-800x546.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-768x524.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-1020x696.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Signage at Bandcamp’s new Oakland offices goes up on Jan. 17, 2019. \u003ccite>(Sam Lefebvre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To local label operators, who often lament music media’s concentration in New York and Los Angeles, Bandcamp’s arrival in Oakland is seen as a networking opportunity. Kim mentioned an upcoming all-staff gathering at the office, plus a visit from staff at Sub Pop. Sexton also emphasized that she doesn’t want to compete with local record stores. “We’re actually going to produce a map of all the record shops in town to give to visitors,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Lopez of Father/Daughter Records—one of few Bay Area labels to consistently expose local indie-rock signees to wider audiences—said the label’s Bandcamp does more business than its official webstore. For many independent releases, a Daily feature is the publicity equivalent of placement on a popular Spotify playlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez said he recently heard from Sexton about ordering physical Father/Daughter titles for the record store, a level of outreach he’s never experienced with, say, Pandora.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was direct, not through a distributor,” he said. “It’s cool that they’re trying to partner with artists here in the Bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Not to mention Apple and Google, which also offer streaming platforms.) Bandcamp has plenty of engineers and Silicon Valley ties, but the company is eager to align itself with local music. Kim described the public-facing aspects of the multipurpose space as an expression of Bandcamp’s artist-first mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We needed a home for our largest cohort, and we realized the space could also further the company’s message,” Kim explained. “So we wanted a record store or a performance space.

In what it described as a gesture of solidarity with immigrants, Bandcamp donated its cut of sales from a 24-hour period to the American Civil Liberties Union in early 2017.

Kim said the company will similarly support local causes, mentioning Bay Area Girls Rock Camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grand opening party, on Feb. 1, features Jazz on the Sidewalk, a band composed of Oakland School for the Arts students, as well as local hip-hop and indie-rock acts Queens D.Light, Sol Development and Bells Atlas.

There’s also a social element to the site via fan accounts, whereby users can receive notifications about new releases, leave comments, and peruse each other’s collections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company, which has been profitable since 2012, takes a 10-15 percent cut of sales. (iTunes, by comparison, keeps 30 percent before further set-asides for publishers and labels.) According to the site, Bandcamp has directly paid artists more than $7.2 million in the past 30 days.

Similarly to how some rappers are synonymous with Soundcloud, indie-rock and underground punk and metal are closely associated with Bandcamp. (To wit, in 2017 a meme satirically contrasted the \u003ca href=\"https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/soundcloud-vs-bandcamp-meme/\">respective aesthetics\u003c/a> of each service’s users.) Legacy indies such as Sub Pop and Dischord have label accounts, and the site is central to the breakout bedroom-songwriter narratives of Jay Som and Car Seat Headrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016 the company hired several writers to staff its blog, the \u003ca href=\"https://daily.bandcamp.com/\">Bandcamp Daily\u003c/a>, which offers positive coverage of artists on the site. The Daily staff will remain in New York, but the Bandcamp Weekly, a radio show hosted by former Ubiquity Records A&R Andrew Jervis, will be recorded at the Oakland office. (This writer contributed to the Daily between 2016-2018.) The forthcoming video series, recorded on-site, will further bolster the site’s promotional infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13848951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-800x546.jpg\" alt=\"Signage at Bandcamp's new Oakland offices goes up on Jan. 17, 2019.\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13848951\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-800x546.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-768x524.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_-1020x696.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Bandcamp.Sign_.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Signage at Bandcamp’s new Oakland offices goes up on Jan. 17, 2019. \u003ccite>(Sam Lefebvre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To local label operators, who often lament music media’s concentration in New York and Los Angeles, Bandcamp’s arrival in Oakland is seen as a networking opportunity. Kim mentioned an upcoming all-staff gathering at the office, plus a visit from staff at Sub Pop. Sexton also emphasized that she doesn’t want to compete with local record stores. “We’re actually going to produce a map of all the record shops in town to give to visitors,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Lopez of Father/Daughter Records—one of few Bay Area labels to consistently expose local indie-rock signees to wider audiences—said the label’s Bandcamp does more business than its official webstore. For many independent releases, a Daily feature is the publicity equivalent of placement on a popular Spotify playlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez said he recently heard from Sexton about ordering physical Father/Daughter titles for the record store, a level of outreach he’s never experienced with, say, Pandora.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was direct, not through a distributor,” he said. “It’s cool that they’re trying to partner with artists here in the Bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Carol Channing, the lanky, ebullient musical comedy star who delighted American audiences over almost 5,000 performances as the scheming Dolly Levi in “Hello, Dolly!” on Broadway and beyond, has died. She was 97.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Publicist B. Harlan Boll said Channing died of natural causes at 12:31am Tuesday in Rancho Mirage, California. Boll says she had twice suffered strokes in the last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides “Hello, Dolly!,” Channing starred in other Broadway shows, but none with equal magnetism. She often appeared on television and in nightclubs, for a time partnering with George Burns in Las Vegas and a national tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her outsized personality seemed too much for the screen, and she made only a few movies, notably “The First Traveling Saleslady” with Ginger Rogers and “Thoroughly Modern Millie” with Julie Andrews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Channing continued as Dolly in national tours, the last in 1996, when she was in her 70s. Tom Shales of The Washington Post called her “the ninth wonder of the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Messages of love and appreciation lit up Twitter early Tuesday, with the League of Professional Theatre Women saying Channing “was a gift of inspiration to so many.” Fans who saw her work also took to social media, calling her a “firecracker” and saying she was “matchmaking for the angels now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Channing was not the immediate choice to play Dolly, a matchmaker who receives her toughest challenge yet when a rich grump seeks a suitable wife. The show, which features a rousing score by Jerry Herman that’s bursting with joy and tunes like “Put On Your Sunday Clothes,” ″Before the Parade Passes By” and “It Only Takes a Moment,” is a musical version of Thornton Wilder’s play “The Matchmaker.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Theater producer David Merrick told her: “I don’t want that silly grin with all those teeth that go back to your ears.” Even though director Gower Champion had worked on her first Broadway hit, “Lend an Ear,” he had doubts about Channing’s casting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wowed them in an audition and was hired on the spot. At opening night on Jan. 16, 1964, when Channing appeared at the top of the stairs in a red gown with feathers in her hair and walked down the red carpet to the Harmonia Gardens restaurant, the New York audience went crazy. The critics followed suit. “Hello, Dolly!” collected 10 Tony Awards, including one for Channing as best actress in a musical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Channing was born Jan. 31, 1921, in Seattle, where her father, George Channing, was a newspaper editor. When his only child was 3 months old, he moved to San Francisco and worked as a writer for The Christian Science Monitor and as a lecturer. He later became editor-in-chief of Christian Science publications. Channing herself graduated from Lowell High School, then on Hayes Street in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the age of 7, Channing decided she wanted to become an entertainer. She credited her father with encouraging her: “He told me you can dedicate your life at 7 or 97. And the people who do that are happier people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While majoring in drama and dance at Bennington College in Vermont, she was sent off to get experience in her chosen field. She found a job in a New York revue. The show lasted only two weeks, but a New Yorker magazine critic commented, “You will hear more about a satiric chanteuse named Carol Channing.” She said later: “That was it. I said goodbye to trigonometry, zoology and English literature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For several years she worked as an understudy, bit player and nightclub impressionist, taking jobs as a model, receptionist and sales clerk during lean times. Landing in Los Angeles, she auditioned for Marge Champion, wife and dance partner of Gower Champion who was putting together a revue, “Lend an Ear.” Marge Champion recalled: “She certainly was awkward and odd-looking, but her warmth and wholesomeness came through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Channing was the hit of “Lend an Ear” in a small Hollywood theater, and she captivated audiences and critics when the show moved to New York. As the innocent gold digger in the musical “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” her stardom was assured. One reviewer reported she “hurls across the footlights in broad strokes of pantomime and bold, certain, exquisitely comical gestures.” The show’s hit song, “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” became her signature number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over and over again she returned to the surefire “Hello, Dolly!,” which earned her $5 million on one tour. She considered Dolly Levi “a role as deep as Lady Macbeth,” but added that “the essence of her character was her unquenchable thirst for life.” That description fit Carol Channing, who attributed her sunny optimism to her lifelong faith in Christian Science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others who have played the role include Pearl Bailey, Phyllis Diller, Betty Grable, Ethel Merman, Martha Raye, Ginger Rogers and Barbra Streisand, who played Dolly in a 1969 film version directed by Gene Kelly. Bette Midler won a Tony Award in the role in 2017 and a current national tour stars Betty Buckley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tour of “Hello, Dolly!” said Tuesday it would honor Channing at its current stop in California. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of the one and only Carol Channing. She was a ‘Dolly’ for the ages, and a true icon of the American theater. Betty Buckley and the cast will dedicate tonight’s performance in San Diego to her memory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Channing had two early marriages that ended in divorce — to novelist Theodore Naidish and pro footballer Alexander Carson, father of her only child, Channing. Her son became a successful political cartoonist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1956 she married a television producer, Charles Lowe, who seemed like the perfect mate for a major star. He adopted Channing’s son and supervised every aspect of her business affairs and appearances. He reportedly viewed every one of her performances from out front, leading the applause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 41 years of marriage, she sued for divorce in 1998, alleging that he misappropriated her funds and humiliated her in public. She remarked that they only had sex twice in four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only thing about control freak victims is that they don’t know who they are,” she told The Washington Post. “It’s taken me 77 years to figure that out. I was miserable. I was unhappy. And I didn’t realize it wasn’t my fault. But I’m going to survive. I’m going to live. I’m free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe died after a stroke in 1999. Channing moved to Rancho Mirage near Palm Springs, California, in 2000 to write her memoirs. She called the book “Just Lucky, I Guess.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Channing remarried in 2003 to Harry Kullijian, her childhood sweetheart from 70 years before. He died in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her book, Channing recounted an early story from her childhood that showed a budding audience-pleasing performer. She wrote that she came home from kindergarten and noted that all the little girls hit the little boys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her parents asked: “Do you?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She responded: “Oh no, I pet them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Shawn Marsh in Trenton, New Jersey, contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In September, Johnson filed a countersuit claiming breach of contract, and that city interference ruinously undermined the project. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, a November lawsuit in federal court alleges that officials, including Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Vallie Brown, committed fraud resulting in approximately $100 million in failed public and private investments. It further charges that the city officials steered control of the center to “chosen cronies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What was promoted as the flagship of the City’s renewal of the Fillmore community has instead become a glaring symbol of urban neglect, mismanagement, and corruption,” the suit reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plaintiff Agonafer Shiferaw, a neighborhood businessman who previously operated Rasselas Jazz Club on Fillmore Street, has repeatedly tried to buy the crisis-stricken cultural center. His suit seeks monetary damages and a court injunction prohibiting the city from selling or leasing the property. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13848448\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Fillmore.Lobby_-800x550.jpg\" alt=\"The city granted two nonprofits a temporary lease on the Fillmore Heritage Center in October, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13848448\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Fillmore.Lobby_-800x550.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Fillmore.Lobby_-160x110.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Fillmore.Lobby_-768x528.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Fillmore.Lobby_-1020x701.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Fillmore.Lobby_-1200x825.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/Fillmore.Lobby_.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The city granted two nonprofits a temporary lease on the Fillmore Heritage Center in October 2018.

But last year officials gave $50,000 and a six-month lease to “temporarily activate” the center to two nonprofits—the San Francisco Housing Development Corporation (SFHDC) and the New Community Leadership Foundation (NCLF)—that’d submitted a proposal. The city is looking to sell the center for $6.5 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Hansen of SFHDC said at an Entertainment Commission hearing in November that the groups are seeking a lease extension, and to buy the property themselves. The lawsuit asserts that the organizations’ “only qualification is their support for and association with London Breed.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This lawsuit is long on rhetoric and short on facts,” City Attorney spokesperson John Coté said in a statement. “It is wholly without merit, and the City will vigorously defend against it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next hearing in the case is scheduled for February 13. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10297719\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/01/Yoshis.jpg\" alt=\"Yoshi's, the Fillmore Heritage Center's anchor tenant, closed in 2014. \" width=\"800\" height=\"492\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10297719\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/01/Yoshis.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/01/Yoshis-400x246.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yoshi’s, the Fillmore Heritage Center’s anchor tenant, closed in 2014.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Fillmore Heritage Center opened in 2007, promising economic stimulation and cultural renewal for a once predominantly black neighborhood crushed by redevelopment in the 1960s.

In September, Johnson filed a countersuit claiming breach of contract, and that city interference ruinously undermined the project. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, a November lawsuit in federal court alleges that officials, including Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Vallie Brown, committed fraud resulting in approximately $100 million in failed public and private investments. It further charges that the city officials steered control of the center to “chosen cronies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What was promoted as the flagship of the City’s renewal of the Fillmore community has instead become a glaring symbol of urban neglect, mismanagement, and corruption,” the suit reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plaintiff Agonafer Shiferaw, a neighborhood businessman who previously operated Rasselas Jazz Club on Fillmore Street, has repeatedly tried to buy the crisis-stricken cultural center.

But they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up in the late ’70s and early ’80s, I got fascinated with the San Francisco sound,” says Alec Palao, an Englishman. “So I scoured every book I could find about Jefferson Airplane and The Great Society and Grateful Dead and, you know, I keep seeing this name mentioned, this all-women band that played under the name Ace of Cups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"San Francisco's (Almost) Forgotten All-Girl Band: The Ace of Cups | KQED Arts\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/XP3uMR1CEeY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palao eventually got his hands on a few bootleg tapes and he became smitten. “They had a sense of poetry,” he recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Palao became a scout for a UK-based reissue label, coincidentally called Ace Records, he collaborated with Ace of Cups to release the band’s rehearsals and live recordings. Those recordings caught the ear of New Yorker George Wallace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were definitely unafraid to go into different directions and to have soul mixed with psychedelia mixed with a capella, often packed with, you know, really beautifully arranged harmony. And it was all live, too,” Wallace says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Wallace started his own reissue label, High Moon Records, in 2008, he reached out to Ace of Cups in search of more archival material. There wasn’t any, but the band still played from time to time, so Wallace flew out to hear them. He offered them a chance to record a new album — a first for the band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because we never got to go into the studio … he decided he wanted to give us that gift,” guitarist Denise Kaufman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ace of Cups – Feel Good [Official Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6KqPCFw-VHQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ace of Cups’ self-titled debut, which came out in Nov. 2018, is a double album featuring four of the band’s original members plus contributions from longtime friends including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/122805557/buffy-sainte-marie\">Buffy Sainte-Marie\u003c/a> and the Grateful Dead’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/10/06/496841893/grateful-dead-founding-member-bob-weir-draws-inspiration-from-old-cowboy-songs\">Bob Weir\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joel Selvin says the talent and energy that set the band apart 50 years ago still shines through. “Ace of Cups today are this vibrant, exciting time capsule that lives in the contemporary world” he says\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for Gannon, the debut album is a full-circle moment to where Ace of Cups began: “We just happened to be girls playing music, having fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Ace of Cups didn’t just feature a powerhouse female vocalist in the mold of Janis Joplin, but five women who sang, played their own instruments and wrote their own music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ace of Cups played their instruments with the same kind of accomplishment that the male musicians did,” he says. “They were on so many bills starting in the summer of ’67, but they were a complete anomaly in the San Francisco hippie world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary Gannon, Marla Hunt, Denise Kaufman, Mary Ellen Simpson and Diane Vitalich met in the Haight-Ashbury district.

Ace of Cups built a considerable following in the 1960s playing high-profile venues in town, such as The Fillmore, the Avalon Ballroom and Winterland. Several labels expressed interest, but nothing ever happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few years, Ace of Cups called it quits. The members certainly never expected to reach faraway fans. But they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up in the late ’70s and early ’80s, I got fascinated with the San Francisco sound,” says Alec Palao, an Englishman. “So I scoured every book I could find about Jefferson Airplane and The Great Society and Grateful Dead and, you know, I keep seeing this name mentioned, this all-women band that played under the name Ace of Cups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"San Francisco's (Almost) Forgotten All-Girl Band: The Ace of Cups | KQED Arts\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/XP3uMR1CEeY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palao eventually got his hands on a few bootleg tapes and he became smitten. “They had a sense of poetry,” he recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Palao became a scout for a UK-based reissue label, coincidentally called Ace Records, he collaborated with Ace of Cups to release the band’s rehearsals and live recordings. Those recordings caught the ear of New Yorker George Wallace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were definitely unafraid to go into different directions and to have soul mixed with psychedelia mixed with a capella, often packed with, you know, really beautifully arranged harmony. And it was all live, too,” Wallace says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Wallace started his own reissue label, High Moon Records, in 2008, he reached out to Ace of Cups in search of more archival material. There wasn’t any, but the band still played from time to time, so Wallace flew out to hear them. He offered them a chance to record a new album — a first for the band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because we never got to go into the studio … he decided he wanted to give us that gift,” guitarist Denise Kaufman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ace of Cups – Feel Good [Official Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6KqPCFw-VHQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ace of Cups’ self-titled debut, which came out in Nov. 2018, is a double album featuring four of the band’s original members plus contributions from longtime friends including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/122805557/buffy-sainte-marie\">Buffy Sainte-Marie\u003c/a> and the Grateful Dead’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/10/06/496841893/grateful-dead-founding-member-bob-weir-draws-inspiration-from-old-cowboy-songs\">Bob Weir\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joel Selvin says the talent and energy that set the band apart 50 years ago still shines through. “Ace of Cups today are this vibrant, exciting time capsule that lives in the contemporary world” he says\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for Gannon, the debut album is a full-circle moment to where Ace of Cups began: “We just happened to be girls playing music, having fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
