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.",

Take a moment with that news. This is 20 years after the online retail giant helped lay waste to the brick and mortar book industry. The San Jose bookstore is not the first. It’s Amazon’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/b/?_encoding=UTF8&node=13270229011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tenth nationwide\u003c/a>, its second in California and its first in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many respects, the Seattle-based behemoth is following on the footsteps of other tech giants like Apple and Microsoft. Vice president of Amazon’s books division, Jennifer Cast, says customers like to see products in person — books, and other things, too. “They need help,” Cast says. “They need advice, and so we have associates who are experts on Amazon devices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, the Amazon bookstore in San Jose’s Santana Row delivers an impressive experience for book lovers, with numerous, distinctively Amazonian touches. You get the Amazon.com price if you’re signed up with the company’s membership program, Amazon Prime. Many of the bookstore sections follow what’s trending online. One area of the store called “Page Turners” highlights books that a large number of Kindle readers finished in three days or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13806494\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13806494\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/08/RS26380_Book-Reviews-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Instead of handwritten employee reviews, there are printed customer reviews pinned up under the books.

Take a moment with that news. This is 20 years after the online retail giant helped lay waste to the brick and mortar book industry. The San Jose bookstore is not the first. It’s Amazon’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/b/?_encoding=UTF8&node=13270229011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tenth nationwide\u003c/a>, its second in California and its first in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many respects, the Seattle-based behemoth is following on the footsteps of other tech giants like Apple and Microsoft. Vice president of Amazon’s books division, Jennifer Cast, says customers like to see products in person — books, and other things, too. “They need help,” Cast says. “They need advice, and so we have associates who are experts on Amazon devices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, the Amazon bookstore in San Jose’s Santana Row delivers an impressive experience for book lovers, with numerous, distinctively Amazonian touches. You get the Amazon.com price if you’re signed up with the company’s membership program, Amazon Prime. Many of the bookstore sections follow what’s trending online. One area of the store called “Page Turners” highlights books that a large number of Kindle readers finished in three days or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13806494\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13806494\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/08/RS26380_Book-Reviews-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Instead of handwritten employee reviews, there are printed customer reviews pinned up under the books.

Near wrote the song the night Harvey Milk and George Moscone were assassinated on Nov. 27, 1978.

DeRogatis writes that he was provided documentation of financial settlements reached as part of a nondisclosure agreement between Pace and Kelly.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Pace, who risks legal retaliation from Kelly by going public, says those settlements were brokered for her by the attorney Susan E. Loggans, something Loggans tells \u003cem>BuzzFeed \u003c/em>she has done “numerous” times in separate cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to DeRogatis, Pace claims she began a sexual relationship with Kelly while still a minor, after meeting him outside the courthouse where she attended the 2008 trial of Kelly in which he was acquitted of sex with a minor. Pace claims that she was physically and mentally abused by Kelly at least once during the relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to NPR, Kelly’s publicist Trevian Kutti writes that “Mr. Kelly again denies any and all wrong doing \u003cem>[sic]\u003c/em> and is taking appropriate legal action to protect himself from ongoing defamation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just really hope I can help these women out,” Pace tells DeRogatis, referring to women still involved with Kelly.

Burgess’ son John told the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/21/arts/music/sonny-burgess-rockabilly-wild-man-is-dead-at-88.html?mcubz=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times\u003c/a>\u003c/em> that the cause of death was complications from a fall, but the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2017/aug/20/sonny-burgess-20170820-1/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arkansas Democrat-Gazette\u003c/a>\u003c/em> noted Burgess had also been struggling with issues related to diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Burgess was one of the hosts of a weekly program for member station \u003ca href=\"http://kasu.org/\">KASU\u003c/a> at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Ark.; the show was named \u003ca href=\"http://kasu.org/programs/we-wanna-boogie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>We Wanna Boogie\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, after one of the songs on Burgess’ first recording for Sun Records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvPonm9Mkks\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had a true R&B voice, like a tenor sax in full cry — short on subtlety and delicate shadings, but a magnificent rock’n’roll instrument,” music historians Colin Escott and Martin Hawkins wrote in their 1991 book\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=XpknDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=good+rockin%27+tonight&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjQg4XflevVAhWFRCYKHf_zBbAQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=good%20rockin'%20tonight&f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Good Rockin’ Tonight: Sun Records And The Birth Of Rock ‘N’ Roll\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. They continued, “Burgess’ vocals were complemented by his guitar playing: rough, intense and blues-drenched.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born May 28, 1929, Burgess was raised on a farm near Newport, Arkansas. He grew up listening to shows from the Grand Ole Opry, and started out playing with friends in local bars and dance halls in a band they called The Rocky Road Ramblers. His original dream was to be a professional baseball player, but after a couple of years spent in the minor leagues, Burgess entered the U.S. Army, and served in West Germany during the Korean War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his return to the U.S., Burgess re-grouped his band, which he renamed The Moonlighters, with an eye to auditioning for Sam Philips’ Sun Records in Memphis. They didn’t find immediate success, but by 1955 — his band expanded at Philips’ urging and renamed once more, this time as The Pacers — Burgess was sharing dates with the likes of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all the elements that Philips had been looking for finally in place, The Pacers went to Memphis in 1956 to audition again at Sun. Philips promptly had them record two sides: “We Wanna Boogie” and “Red Headed Woman.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The record was a hit, and live audiences loved their frantic energy and showmanship — but a string of follow-ups for Sun fared poorly, as did a single for Philips International. Burgess’ career as a frontman continued to dwindle, and by 1959, he was playing in country singer Conway Twitty’s band. Within a dozen years, he had left the music business altogether, and pulled together a new life for himself and his family by working as a traveling salesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1990s, however, European fans’ enthusiasm for rediscovering old Americana was a vehicle for Burgess’ contributions to resurface, and he enjoyed a resurgent musical career. He recorded two albums in his sixties: 1992’s \u003cem>Tennessee Border\u003c/em>, for Hightone Records, and 1996’s \u003cem>Sonny Burgess \u003c/em>on Rounder Records, produced by Garry Tallent of the E Street Band and featuring a previously unreleased Bruce Springsteen tune called “Tiger Rose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPY4nX3nWLY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burgess eventually reunited with The Pacers, who were inducted in 2002 into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and played dates in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Europe and Australia. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

He grew up listening to shows from the Grand Ole Opry, and started out playing with friends in local bars and dance halls in a band they called The Rocky Road Ramblers.

They didn’t find immediate success, but by 1955 — his band expanded at Philips’ urging and renamed once more, this time as The Pacers — Burgess was sharing dates with the likes of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all the elements that Philips had been looking for finally in place, The Pacers went to Memphis in 1956 to audition again at Sun. Philips promptly had them record two sides: “We Wanna Boogie” and “Red Headed Woman.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The record was a hit, and live audiences loved their frantic energy and showmanship — but a string of follow-ups for Sun fared poorly, as did a single for Philips International. Burgess’ career as a frontman continued to dwindle, and by 1959, he was playing in country singer Conway Twitty’s band. Within a dozen years, he had left the music business altogether, and pulled together a new life for himself and his family by working as a traveling salesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1990s, however, European fans’ enthusiasm for rediscovering old Americana was a vehicle for Burgess’ contributions to resurface, and he enjoyed a resurgent musical career. He recorded two albums in his sixties: 1992’s \u003cem>Tennessee Border\u003c/em>, for Hightone Records, and 1996’s \u003cem>Sonny Burgess \u003c/em>on Rounder Records, produced by Garry Tallent of the E Street Band and featuring a previously unreleased Bruce Springsteen tune called “Tiger Rose.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/zPY4nX3nWLY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/zPY4nX3nWLY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burgess eventually reunited with The Pacers, who were inducted in 2002 into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and played dates in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Europe and Australia. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.
