In addition, much of the country seems to have temporarily forgotten about the chaotic state of our country, and is more concerned with saving one man and one man only: Kanye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of West’s ill health is, so far, a little unclear. \u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/11/kris-jenner-kanye-west-hospitalization-angel-ball\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kris Jenner told \u003cem>Vanity Fair\u003c/em>\u003c/a> her son-in-law was “exhausted”, another source told \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-music-kanyewest-idUSKBN13H1WK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>People\u003c/em> magazine\u003c/a> that Kanye felt “under spiritual attack”, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7587830/kanye-west-hospital-sleep-deprivation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em>\u003c/a> was told it was “temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation.” Whatever the problem is, Mr West is definitely not having a good week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us to one of the most surprising elements of this entire story: less than two months after his wife was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/10/03/you-dont-have-to-like-kim-kardashian-but-at-least-respect-her-humanity/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dismissed, ridiculed and victim-blamed\u003c/a> for having the audacity of getting robbed at gunpoint, in what was surely a traumatic and terrifying experience, the world is rallying around Kanye, as if his life is infinitely more valuable than his wife’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-49146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-800x146.png\" alt=\"good-news\" width=\"800\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-800x146.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-160x29.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-768x140.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-1020x186.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-1920x351.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-1180x216.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-960x175.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-240x44.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-375x69.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-520x95.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an even stranger state of affairs if one considers how inextricably intertwined Kim and Kanye's careers and public lives have become since the couple married in 2014. Kim has been referenced in Kanye’s songs repeatedly; she appeared strapped to him for (the most unintentionally hilarious video of all time) \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBAtAM7vtgc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Bound 2”\u003c/a>; he sporadically pops up on her E! reality show \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E9lNF9bhYU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Keeping Up With the Kardashians\u003c/em>\u003c/a>; there’s a cartoon version of him in her super-popular phone app, and they pose for \u003ca href=\"http://www.vogue.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/img-apriltest_104557289055.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">magazine covers\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3068388/Kanye-West-t-tear-gaze-away-wife-Kim-Kardashian-s-famous-curves-Met-Gala-red-carpet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">red carpet events\u003c/a> together on the regular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's more, these two have a happy marriage precisely because they are such similar humans. Kanye is as ostentatious as Kim. They both earn an exorbitant amount of money and live lavishly in properties around the globe. They are both unabashedly shallow (Kim: \"Stretch marks are my biggest fear of life”; Kanye: \"My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in\"). They are both unashamedly egotistical (Kim: \"If I was a man, I would want to know what it’s like to have sex with myself\"; Kanye: \"My greatest pain in life is that I'll never be able to see myself perform\"). Both enjoy spouting absolute nonsense from time to time (Kim: \"Well, a bear can juggle and stand on a ball and he’s talented, but he’s not famous. Do you know what I mean?\"; Kanye: \"I hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me, like, oh great, now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle\").\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why do we #PrayForKanye now, when some Tweets about Kim’s robbery declared her suffering “good news” and others openly wished she had been killed in the heist? An opportunistic company even turned the worst night of Kardashian's life into a Halloween costume:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-49145\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-800x394.png\" alt=\"costumekk\" width=\"800\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-800x394.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-160x79.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-768x378.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-1020x502.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-1920x945.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-1180x581.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-960x472.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-240x118.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-375x184.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/costumeKK-520x256.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer to why we treat these two similar people so differently is of course a little complicated, but at least partially rooted in sexism. Somehow, it's okay for Kanye to talk extensively about the designer clothing he likes, because the perception is that he's earned it. When Kim does it—even though she has been in the business of fashion since before either of them were famous—it's often perceived as frivolous and selfish; the rich girl rubbing her wealth in our faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, if you ask Kim-haters what they dislike about her, the most common complaint is that she is talentless, an accusation that willfully ignores the fact that Kardashian is a marketing genius with a sharp mind for business. The other reasons given for hating on Kim—the shallowness, the ego, the self-indulgence—are all personality elements that Kanye is just as guilty of, but that the public has no problem turning a blind eye to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-49147\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-800x147.png\" alt=\"messedhimup\" width=\"800\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-800x147.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-160x29.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-768x141.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1020x187.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1920x352.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1180x216.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-960x176.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-240x44.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-375x69.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-520x95.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps Kim also garners less sympathy because she is less inclined to show vulnerability than Kanye. He recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/09/kanye-west-cried-fan-tattoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cried on stage\u003c/a> over a fan's tribute to his mother, and his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugawzLjLb2o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sad, public embrace\u003c/a> with Kid Cudi last week has gone viral. Kim, on the other hand, has said that crying is for the end of the day, \"not with fresh makeup.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the public love for Kanye and vocal hatred of Kim has to do with our national pastime of cheering for the underdog; Kardashian was born into privilege, Kanye's background is significantly scrappier. It also has to do with product; we place an infinitely higher cultural value on Kanye's music than we do on Kim's apps, books and TV shows, even though their popularity is comparable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the root cause, the way Kim and Kanye have been treated during their respective crises in the last two months has held a mirror up to the nature of social media and how we use it to build up and tear down public figures, depending on our mood. Further, if we compare Kanye's treatment this week to how Britney Spears' mental breakdown was publicly discussed in 2007, the picture becomes even more stark. It suggests that a higher value is, at least sometimes, placed on famous men than it is on famous women, and that men can get away with more while living in the public eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I, along with the rest of the country, wish Kanye a speedy recovery, but I sincerely hope Kim is on the mend too. Because assigning value to the lives of celebrities, based on whether we like what they sell us or not, is a hideous reflection of how we dehumanize famous people.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The other reasons given for hating on Kim—the shallowness, the ego, the self-indulgence—are all personality elements that Kanye is just as guilty of, but that the public has no problem turning a blind eye to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-49147\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-800x147.png\" alt=\"messedhimup\" width=\"800\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-800x147.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-160x29.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-768x141.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1020x187.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1920x352.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1180x216.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-960x176.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-240x44.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-375x69.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-520x95.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps Kim also garners less sympathy because she is less inclined to show vulnerability than Kanye. He recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/09/kanye-west-cried-fan-tattoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cried on stage\u003c/a> over a fan's tribute to his mother, and his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugawzLjLb2o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sad, public embrace\u003c/a> with Kid Cudi last week has gone viral. Kim, on the other hand, has said that crying is for the end of the day, \"not with fresh makeup.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the public love for Kanye and vocal hatred of Kim has to do with our national pastime of cheering for the underdog; Kardashian was born into privilege, Kanye's background is significantly scrappier. It also has to do with product; we place an infinitely higher cultural value on Kanye's music than we do on Kim's apps, books and TV shows, even though their popularity is comparable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the root cause, the way Kim and Kanye have been treated during their respective crises in the last two months has held a mirror up to the nature of social media and how we use it to build up and tear down public figures, depending on our mood. Further, if we compare Kanye's treatment this week to how Britney Spears' mental breakdown was publicly discussed in 2007, the picture becomes even more stark. It suggests that a higher value is, at least sometimes, placed on famous men than it is on famous women, and that men can get away with more while living in the public eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I, along with the rest of the country, wish Kanye a speedy recovery, but I sincerely hope Kim is on the mend too. Because assigning value to the lives of celebrities, based on whether we like what they sell us or not, is a hideous reflection of how we dehumanize famous people.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She helped me bring my bike into the garage and walked me through the soundproofed labyrinth of studios and classrooms.

It resembled the control panel of a spaceship in a sci-fi movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winston founded WAM over 13 years ago.

"headTitle": "The Death of a Disco Host | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>In a society increasingly filled with self-delusion, there are still times when the roles individuals see themselves playing can unlock astonishing insights about who they are. A few weeks ago, \u003ca href=\"http://www.timlawrence.info/articles2/2014/1/4/love-saves-the-day-david-mancuso-and-the-loft-placed-2007\">when speaking with author and disco historian Tim Lawrence about the New York party scene of the 1970s and ’80s\u003c/a>, I off-handedly called David Mancuso — one of that scene’s central figures, who founded the legendary disco happening The Loft and who passed away Monday, after a protracted illness, at the age of 72 — a “DJ.” Lawrence, who over the past two decades had spent many hours interviewing Mancuso, was quick to correct me. “David would not refer to himself as a ‘DJ,'” he said, “but as a ‘musical host.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a funny interjection and fact-check. Mancuso was a host, by the word’s most basic definition, in that for the first 30-plus years of The Loft’s existence, the party took place in his actual home (first on Broadway, then on Spring Street, and then on 3\u003csup>rd\u003c/sup> Street in Alphabet City), and the people he welcomed were not “attendees” or “club members” but invited guests. He was a man who’d spent his early years in a Utica, N.Y., children’s home run by a kindly woman named Sister Alicia, whom he would forever cite as his first musical influence and whose desire to throw dance parties for the home’s orphans sank in deeply. Mancuso’s unwavering focus on the importance of sound and community made him a host in a philosophically Christian sense, too; it whole-heartedly reflected his outlook of the world, one that he wanted to pass on to everyone who came through his doors and participated in his ritual. And the man who studied with Timothy Leary also believed in the spiritual power of the pharmacologically produced sacrament whose acronym was barely hidden in the name of that first Loft gathering — Love Saves the Day, inaugurated on Valentine’s Day 1970 — and which dosed the punch at many future gatherings. A host? Yeah, sure, of course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus did David Mancuso lore double pretty naturally as history, which is only noteworthy because few late-20th century creation myths are as absolute as the ones he had a hand in. Mancuso’s is the story of the birth of contemporary dance-music, clubbing and DJ culture — which The Loft most definitely seeded, with a lot of help from three of Mancuso’s most ardent admirers, the DJs Larry Levan, Nicky Siano and Frankie Knuckles, as well as some men in the Bronx then busy inventing hip-hop.

A few weeks ago, \u003ca href=\"http://www.timlawrence.info/articles2/2014/1/4/love-saves-the-day-david-mancuso-and-the-loft-placed-2007\">when speaking with author and disco historian Tim Lawrence about the New York party scene of the 1970s and ’80s\u003c/a>, I off-handedly called David Mancuso — one of that scene’s central figures, who founded the legendary disco happening The Loft and who passed away Monday, after a protracted illness, at the age of 72 — a “DJ.” Lawrence, who over the past two decades had spent many hours interviewing Mancuso, was quick to correct me. “David would not refer to himself as a ‘DJ,'” he said, “but as a ‘musical host.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a funny interjection and fact-check. Mancuso was a host, by the word’s most basic definition, in that for the first 30-plus years of The Loft’s existence, the party took place in his actual home (first on Broadway, then on Spring Street, and then on 3\u003csup>rd\u003c/sup> Street in Alphabet City), and the people he welcomed were not “attendees” or “club members” but invited guests. He was a man who’d spent his early years in a Utica, N.Y., children’s home run by a kindly woman named Sister Alicia, whom he would forever cite as his first musical influence and whose desire to throw dance parties for the home’s orphans sank in deeply. Mancuso’s unwavering focus on the importance of sound and community made him a host in a philosophically Christian sense, too; it whole-heartedly reflected his outlook of the world, one that he wanted to pass on to everyone who came through his doors and participated in his ritual. And the man who studied with Timothy Leary also believed in the spiritual power of the pharmacologically produced sacrament whose acronym was barely hidden in the name of that first Loft gathering — Love Saves the Day, inaugurated on Valentine’s Day 1970 — and which dosed the punch at many future gatherings. A host? Yeah, sure, of course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus did David Mancuso lore double pretty naturally as history, which is only noteworthy because few late-20th century creation myths are as absolute as the ones he had a hand in. Mancuso’s is the story of the birth of contemporary dance-music, clubbing and DJ culture — which The Loft most definitely seeded, with a lot of help from three of Mancuso’s most ardent admirers, the DJs Larry Levan, Nicky Siano and Frankie Knuckles, as well as some men in the Bronx then busy inventing hip-hop. Simultaneously, it’s the origin story of the contemporary ideal of New York City’s cultural and creative diversity — which The Loft embodied in its most utopian manifestation. You may not have heard of David Mancuso, but chances are good that you have fed off the body of his work these past few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12364616\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"The Loft host David Mancuso famously dropped balloons from the ceiling during his dance parties.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12364616\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/may_2013_081-298dd21704582e173c5c5bc346802426aaf76cf7-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Loft host David Mancuso famously dropped balloons from the ceiling during his dance parties. \u003ccite>(Photo: Kate Glicksberg)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In retrospect, the recipe for The Loft was rather simple: uplifting décor (the man loved a balloon drop!), people who trusted one another, good rhythmic music delivered over a great sound system, a mild social lubricant and the freedom of dance-floor movement.
