"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 8:30am ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you saw Bud Light’s “Legends” ad during the Super Bowl—the one featuring everyone from Cedric the Entertainer to Post Malone in an \u003cem>Avengers: Endgame\u003c/em>-style gathering of the brand’s biggest stars—this element stood out like the Bud Knight at a square dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No masks. No social distancing. No signs at all of the pandemic as a gang of beloved mascots crowded together to make sure football fans have their Bud Light on Super Bowl Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did talk about, ‘Should everyone be wearing a mask [in the spot]?’ ” said Andy Goeler, vice president of marketing for Bud Light, when I talked to him well before the game. “But we felt the spot was a bit surreal and we had the ability to not have people wearing masks and kind of [avoid] reminding people of the time we’re in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFfsO49AfzI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sort of escapism stood out in the flood of commercials airing in the Super Bowl, priced up to $5.5 million for 30 seconds of airtime. Aside from a few spots, including ads from Ford and Bass Pro Shops, most commercials tiptoed around references to the pandemic, lockdowns or political instability, as if America was still a little too brittle to really face the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, despite that avoidance, the roster of Super Bowl ads never seemed to really cut loose in celebration. John Travolta dancing awkwardly on TikTok; Anthony Anderson playing touch football with his mom; a CGI Samuel L. Jackson getting swallowed up by a fish—too many of the moments felt weird and self-conscious, unsure of how to make a nation laugh quite yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an inspired bit of head-fakery, some brands drew big headlines for opting out of ads inside the Big Game—like Budweiser and Pepsi—but they still found other ways to stay in. Budweiser’s parent company, Anheuser Busch, bankrolled commercials promoting itself and brands like Bud Light and Michelob Ultra; Pepsi famously sponsors the halftime show. What else would you expect from TV’s biggest showcase for marketing and spin?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn’t have space to dissect all the ads I found entertaining—including spots featuring Daveed Diggs and the Muppets from \u003cem>Sesame Street\u003c/em> for DoorDash and Mike Myers recreating \u003cem>Wayne’s World\u003c/em> with Dana Carvey and Cardi B for Uber Eats. But here’s my roster featuring some of the coolest, weirdest, most telling advertising moments of the evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best use of a celebrity brand: Rocket Mortgage’s “Certain Is Better” \u003c/strong>[aside postid='arts_13873945']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For my money, this was the funniest ad of the night, featuring gonzo \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> alum Tracy Morgan showing a hapless couple buying a home how being “pretty sure” about something isn’t as good as knowing for sure. He gets the dad in a fight with musclebound superstar Dave Bautista (“I’m pretty sure you could take Bautista down,” Morgan tells the dad before he gets knocked out) and shoves the family out of an airplane wearing backpacks saying, “I’m pretty sure these are parachutes.” Best of all, the company had two ads featuring Morgan tormenting two different families, airing at different points during the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Worst hypocrisy from a sports league: The NFL’s “Inspire Change”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ad itself is inspiring, featuring quotes from former San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson’s Hall of Fame speech, played over images of civil rights protests and a graphic noting that the NFL is giving $250 million to fight systemic racism. But the league still hasn’t apologized or publicly made amends with Colin Kaepernick, the onetime San Francisco 49ers quarterback whose kneeling during the National Anthem starting in 2016 to call attention to police brutality ignited a huge controversy. Kaepernick became a free agent and remains unsigned by any team, while the NFL tries to pose like an ally, avoiding any memory that it failed to support a player actually trying to fight systemic racism when it really mattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most desperate use of an iconic rock star: Jeep’s “The Middle”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see his worn cowboy boots and hear his rough-hewn voice before we see him. But there’s no mistaking Bruce Springsteen’s world-weary words as he pleads with viewers to “come meet here in the middle.” Decked out in a simple coat, driving around an old Jeep, Springsteen conjures every ounce of his working-class hero legend to deliver a message aimed at bringing left and right together one month after a group of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building. “We just have to remember the very soil we stand on is common ground,” he intones, driving through deserted rural areas and a snow-covered city center. Well-meaning as this message is, it feels less like an inspiring call to unity than an unsure plea for sanity at a time when it is tough to know if anyone is really listening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2XYH-IEvhI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best promotion of a Wall Street insurgency: Robinhood’s “We Are All Investors”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yup, the stock trading app that helped fuel the takedown of Wall Street hedge funds over investments in GameStop has a curiously timed Super Bowl ad encouraging average folks to get into the stock market. Amid shots of a woman dyeing her hair pink and cowboy hat-wearing seniors sharing a joke at a bar, an announcer asks, “Don’t think you’re an investor?” Couldn’t help thinking it would have been cooler if they had asked, “Want to stick it to The Man while helping the Average Joe take over the stock market?” I would have signed up for \u003cem>that\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most troubling ode to the side hustle: Squarespace’s “5 to 9”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much as we all love Dolly Parton, she may have crossed a line on this one, retooling her upbeat hit about surviving the workday, “9-to-5,” into a chirpy take on the depressing reality of modern workplaces. It’s a trippy tribute to those who use the website-building company Squarespace to promote the side business they really care about when the clock strikes 5 p.m. on their soul-crushing day job. Awesome as it is to see a computer-generated Dolly winking from a magazine cover during the spot, you also wonder: Is it appropriate to make some people’s desperate need for a side job look so fun?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most bizarre use of a celebrity, Part 1: Tide’s “The Jason Alexander Hoodie”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some reason, a young man has a hoodie emblazoned with the face of \u003cem>Seinfeld \u003c/em>alum Jason Alexander, which grimaces and changes expression every time the kid wears him while doing something messy or disgusting, like washing a car or taking out the trash. Besides being an odd, clumsy showcase for CGI technology, it fails to answer a central question: Why would any kid constantly wear a sweatshirt featuring the co-star from a sitcom that left TV more than 20 years ago?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best reference to the pandemic that doesn’t mention the pandemic: Bud Light’s “Last Year’s Lemons”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pronouncing 2020 “a lemon of a year,” Bud Light promotes its seltzer lemonade with a spot that shows people getting knocked over, people chased out of ballparks and airports, and weddings ruined by a mysterious deluge of lemons pouring from the sky. Of course, the friends who are musing about this terrible 2020 are gathered at a backyard barbecue, no masks in sight, surrounded by people at what looks like a party. Way to have your cake—nodding to a mysterious event that canceled air travel, professional sports and family gatherings—without actually uttering the word “pandemic” or showing a single face covering (or telling us what seltzer lemonade actually is). That’s masterful marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most bizarre use of a celebrity, Part 2: Doritos’ “Flat Matthew”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the year we’ve all just had, it irritated me a bit to see hunky, successful movie star Matthew McConaughey moping around, looking (and feeling) flat as a cardboard cutout until he eats the new Doritos 3D Crunch and pops back to full size—inside a vending machine. (I’m thinking maybe it was the check from PepsiCo’s Frito Lay that helped him feel better?) As if a guy with abs like that would get anywhere near something so obviously fattening. Mindy Kaling’s look of impatient bewilderment in the spot, sitting across from McConaughey while he mopes during an appearance on \u003cem>Jimmy Kimmel Live!\u003c/em>, made my week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpL1ci08p60\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most likely to make you ask, “Is this safe?”: Inspiration4’s “Join Us”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to send four civilians into space has left two spots open for U.S. citizens who embody the ideals of “prosperity” and “generosity.” This spot encourages viewers to head to a website, inspiration4.com, where they can enter a sweepstakes to be selected for one of those two spots. As the spot played, I couldn’t help thinking: Isn’t there a better, more scientific, \u003cem>safer\u003c/em> way to choose crew members for a spaceflight than the method used by Publishers Clearing House?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited for radio by Nina Gregory and adapted for the Web by Petra Mayer.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2021 NPR.

Aside from a few spots, including ads from Ford and Bass Pro Shops, most commercials tiptoed around references to the pandemic, lockdowns or political instability, as if America was still a little too brittle to really face the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, despite that avoidance, the roster of Super Bowl ads never seemed to really cut loose in celebration. John Travolta dancing awkwardly on TikTok; Anthony Anderson playing touch football with his mom; a CGI Samuel L. Jackson getting swallowed up by a fish—too many of the moments felt weird and self-conscious, unsure of how to make a nation laugh quite yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an inspired bit of head-fakery, some brands drew big headlines for opting out of ads inside the Big Game—like Budweiser and Pepsi—but they still found other ways to stay in. Budweiser’s parent company, Anheuser Busch, bankrolled commercials promoting itself and brands like Bud Light and Michelob Ultra; Pepsi famously sponsors the halftime show.

He gets the dad in a fight with musclebound superstar Dave Bautista (“I’m pretty sure you could take Bautista down,” Morgan tells the dad before he gets knocked out) and shoves the family out of an airplane wearing backpacks saying, “I’m pretty sure these are parachutes.” Best of all, the company had two ads featuring Morgan tormenting two different families, airing at different points during the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Worst hypocrisy from a sports league: The NFL’s “Inspire Change”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ad itself is inspiring, featuring quotes from former San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson’s Hall of Fame speech, played over images of civil rights protests and a graphic noting that the NFL is giving $250 million to fight systemic racism. But the league still hasn’t apologized or publicly made amends with Colin Kaepernick, the onetime San Francisco 49ers quarterback whose kneeling during the National Anthem starting in 2016 to call attention to police brutality ignited a huge controversy. Kaepernick became a free agent and remains unsigned by any team, while the NFL tries to pose like an ally, avoiding any memory that it failed to support a player actually trying to fight systemic racism when it really mattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most desperate use of an iconic rock star: Jeep’s “The Middle”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see his worn cowboy boots and hear his rough-hewn voice before we see him. But there’s no mistaking Bruce Springsteen’s world-weary words as he pleads with viewers to “come meet here in the middle.” Decked out in a simple coat, driving around an old Jeep, Springsteen conjures every ounce of his working-class hero legend to deliver a message aimed at bringing left and right together one month after a group of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building. “We just have to remember the very soil we stand on is common ground,” he intones, driving through deserted rural areas and a snow-covered city center. Well-meaning as this message is, it feels less like an inspiring call to unity than an unsure plea for sanity at a time when it is tough to know if anyone is really listening.\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/D2XYH-IEvhI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/D2XYH-IEvhI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best promotion of a Wall Street insurgency: Robinhood’s “We Are All Investors”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yup, the stock trading app that helped fuel the takedown of Wall Street hedge funds over investments in GameStop has a curiously timed Super Bowl ad encouraging average folks to get into the stock market. Amid shots of a woman dyeing her hair pink and cowboy hat-wearing seniors sharing a joke at a bar, an announcer asks, “Don’t think you’re an investor?” Couldn’t help thinking it would have been cooler if they had asked, “Want to stick it to The Man while helping the Average Joe take over the stock market?” I would have signed up for \u003cem>that\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most troubling ode to the side hustle: Squarespace’s “5 to 9”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much as we all love Dolly Parton, she may have crossed a line on this one, retooling her upbeat hit about surviving the workday, “9-to-5,” into a chirpy take on the depressing reality of modern workplaces. It’s a trippy tribute to those who use the website-building company Squarespace to promote the side business they really care about when the clock strikes 5 p.m. on their soul-crushing day job. Awesome as it is to see a computer-generated Dolly winking from a magazine cover during the spot, you also wonder: Is it appropriate to make some people’s desperate need for a side job look so fun?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most bizarre use of a celebrity, Part 1: Tide’s “The Jason Alexander Hoodie”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some reason, a young man has a hoodie emblazoned with the face of \u003cem>Seinfeld \u003c/em>alum Jason Alexander, which grimaces and changes expression every time the kid wears him while doing something messy or disgusting, like washing a car or taking out the trash. Besides being an odd, clumsy showcase for CGI technology, it fails to answer a central question: Why would any kid constantly wear a sweatshirt featuring the co-star from a sitcom that left TV more than 20 years ago?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best reference to the pandemic that doesn’t mention the pandemic: Bud Light’s “Last Year’s Lemons”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pronouncing 2020 “a lemon of a year,” Bud Light promotes its seltzer lemonade with a spot that shows people getting knocked over, people chased out of ballparks and airports, and weddings ruined by a mysterious deluge of lemons pouring from the sky. Of course, the friends who are musing about this terrible 2020 are gathered at a backyard barbecue, no masks in sight, surrounded by people at what looks like a party. Way to have your cake—nodding to a mysterious event that canceled air travel, professional sports and family gatherings—without actually uttering the word “pandemic” or showing a single face covering (or telling us what seltzer lemonade actually is). That’s masterful marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most bizarre use of a celebrity, Part 2: Doritos’ “Flat Matthew”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the year we’ve all just had, it irritated me a bit to see hunky, successful movie star Matthew McConaughey moping around, looking (and feeling) flat as a cardboard cutout until he eats the new Doritos 3D Crunch and pops back to full size—inside a vending machine. (I’m thinking maybe it was the check from PepsiCo’s Frito Lay that helped him feel better?) As if a guy with abs like that would get anywhere near something so obviously fattening. Mindy Kaling’s look of impatient bewilderment in the spot, sitting across from McConaughey while he mopes during an appearance on \u003cem>Jimmy Kimmel Live!\u003c/em>, made my week.\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/MpL1ci08p60'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/MpL1ci08p60'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most likely to make you ask, “Is this safe?”: Inspiration4’s “Join Us”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to send four civilians into space has left two spots open for U.S. citizens who embody the ideals of “prosperity” and “generosity.” This spot encourages viewers to head to a website, inspiration4.com, where they can enter a sweepstakes to be selected for one of those two spots. As the spot played, I couldn’t help thinking: Isn’t there a better, more scientific, \u003cem>safer\u003c/em> way to choose crew members for a spaceflight than the method used by Publishers Clearing House?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Within hours, I had found a passage that looked an awful lot like a COVID-19 prediction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In the feeble lists, great calamity through America and Lombardy. The fire in the ship, plague and captivity; Mercury in Sagittarius, Saturn warning.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I thought a few other people might be interested to see it, so I wrote a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13878154/perhaps-nostradamus-predicted-coronavirus-after-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quick story\u003c/a> about it for KQED Arts & Culture. [aside postid='arts_13878154']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nine months later, that quick story is now the most-read thing I’ve ever written in my entire life. As one of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11851592/most-read-your-top-stories-of-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most popular stories\u003c/a> across all of KQED last year, it’s rapidly approaching a million views. And as the story continues to be read by thousands of new readers week over week, it’s impossible not to wonder why so many people still care so much about cryptic verses written by a weird dude from the 16th Century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, it’s not just Nostradamus we’re obsessing over right now. Since COVID started, revisiting prophetic texts has become an increasingly common pastime. In India, people are re-reading the writings of\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potuluri_Veerabrahmam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Potuluri Veerabrahmam\u003c/a>, a Hindu saint and seer from the 17th century. Closer to home, Sylvia Browne’s 2008 book \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/302984/end-of-days-by-sylvia-browne/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World\u003c/em>\u003c/a> saw a sudden boom in sales last year thanks to a coronavirus prediction within the text. (“In around 2020,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/1237924116486688768\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Browne wrote\u003c/a>, “a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to spiritual matters, even before coronavirus, America was open-minded as hell. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/10/01/new-age-beliefs-common-among-both-religious-and-nonreligious-americans/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 Pew Study\u003c/a> found that 98 million of us believe in astrology, and a whopping 134 million believe in psychics. In 2019, psychic services—everything from palm, aura and tarot reading, to numerology and animal psychics—was a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ibisworld.com/united-states/market-research-reports/psychic-services-industry/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$2 billion\u003c/a> industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was all pre-pandemic. And belief in spiritual matters tends to increase during times of crisis. It’s why agnostics pray their way through airplane turbulence, it’s why so many grieving people visit mediums, and it’s why those dealing with hardship are often the ones with the strongest faith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>History is awash with leaps of faith in the midst of dark times. In the 15th Century, because the military believed she was a messenger of God, a teenaged \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc#Military_campaigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joan of Arc\u003c/a> was permitted to lead the French army into battle after a series of crushing defeats. In the early 1900s, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grigori Rasputin\u003c/a> held notorious influence over the Russian royal family because the tsar and his wife believed he could heal their son of hemophilia. Even in the 1970s, salt-of-the-Earth detectives \u003ca href=\"https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/wife-of-former-dp-police-chief-finishes-gacy-book/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">consulted with psychics\u003c/a> during their hunt for serial killers like John Wayne Gacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upheaval caused by COVID-19 has impacted every facet of American life. So it’s not surprising that, as we wrestle with the whys of it all, some of us are more inclined than usual to seek comfort, answers and a greater sense of preparedness from the realms of the spiritual and supernatural. After all, according to neuroscientists, “the human brain is built in such a way as to \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190529-do-humans-have-a-religion-instinct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">facilitate spiritual\u003c/a> kinds of experiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.tanyablessings.com/about-the-author/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanya Carroll Richardson\u003c/a>, an author and professional intuitive who offered readings over the phone even before the pandemic, says she was fully booked in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people come to me when they are struggling in some way,” Richardson says. “Seeing a challenge from a deeper, broader spiritual perspective doesn’t take the pain or frustration away, but it can add new meaning, comfort, and insight. It can help us pivot in positive ways. I did notice an increase in interest in spirituality in 2020, and it was nourishing and healing for me to help support people during a difficult year.” [aside postid='pop_103358']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richardson isn’t alone in finding her own comfort through her spiritual work with clients. In the midst of massive job losses and economic uncertainty, many who previously enjoyed tarot and astrology as a pastime have turned to either monetizing their skills for the first time, or transforming their part-time interest into a full-time job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the pandemic hit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.jasminewolfe.xyz/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jasmine Wolfe\u003c/a> was already working part-time in numerology, astrology and tarot, but her job security came from a part-time position in childcare. In March 2020, when attendance suddenly dwindled, Wolfe decided to give up her day job. She says taking the plunge has paid off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have absolutely seen an increase in business since lockdown last year,” the Sacramento resident explains. “It’s not surprising that so many people are called to divinatory practices at this time when things are so uncertain. Wanting to know what the future holds is something that has preoccupied humans for millennia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to providing one-on-one readings, Wolfe now also offers courses, mentorships and coaching in numerology, astrology, tarot and witchcraft. “Tarot [provides] clarity and guidance,” she explains, “but I think astrology is the better tool for divination. It dates back to the oldest civilizations in Egypt, Babylonia, China. I think a lot of people have been drawn to following it this past year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During times of crisis, one of the most comforting things about prophecies and predictions is the sense they give us that nothing is accidental. That even the most traumatic, chaotic events are, in fact, all part of a larger plan. If some weird guy with a beard saw coronavirus coming 466 years ago, we tell ourselves, not only was it unavoidable, but it must be \u003cem>happening for a reason\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if that notion gets you through this tough period, then it’s a notion that’s cruel to argue with.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And as the story continues to be read by thousands of new readers week over week, it’s impossible not to wonder why so many people still care so much about cryptic verses written by a weird dude from the 16th Century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, it’s not just Nostradamus we’re obsessing over right now. Since COVID started, revisiting prophetic texts has become an increasingly common pastime. In India, people are re-reading the writings of\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potuluri_Veerabrahmam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Potuluri Veerabrahmam\u003c/a>, a Hindu saint and seer from the 17th century. Closer to home, Sylvia Browne’s 2008 book \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/302984/end-of-days-by-sylvia-browne/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World\u003c/em>\u003c/a> saw a sudden boom in sales last year thanks to a coronavirus prediction within the text. (“In around 2020,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/1237924116486688768\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Browne wrote\u003c/a>, “a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to spiritual matters, even before coronavirus, America was open-minded as hell.

It’s why agnostics pray their way through airplane turbulence, it’s why so many grieving people visit mediums, and it’s why those dealing with hardship are often the ones with the strongest faith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>History is awash with leaps of faith in the midst of dark times. In the 15th Century, because the military believed she was a messenger of God, a teenaged \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc#Military_campaigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joan of Arc\u003c/a> was permitted to lead the French army into battle after a series of crushing defeats. In the early 1900s, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grigori Rasputin\u003c/a> held notorious influence over the Russian royal family because the tsar and his wife believed he could heal their son of hemophilia.

So it’s not surprising that, as we wrestle with the whys of it all, some of us are more inclined than usual to seek comfort, answers and a greater sense of preparedness from the realms of the spiritual and supernatural. After all, according to neuroscientists, “the human brain is built in such a way as to \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190529-do-humans-have-a-religion-instinct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">facilitate spiritual\u003c/a> kinds of experiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.tanyablessings.com/about-the-author/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanya Carroll Richardson\u003c/a>, an author and professional intuitive who offered readings over the phone even before the pandemic, says she was fully booked in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people come to me when they are struggling in some way,” Richardson says. “Seeing a challenge from a deeper, broader spiritual perspective doesn’t take the pain or frustration away, but it can add new meaning, comfort, and insight. It can help us pivot in positive ways. I did notice an increase in interest in spirituality in 2020, and it was nourishing and healing for me to help support people during a difficult year.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In March 2020, when attendance suddenly dwindled, Wolfe decided to give up her day job. She says taking the plunge has paid off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have absolutely seen an increase in business since lockdown last year,” the Sacramento resident explains. “It’s not surprising that so many people are called to divinatory practices at this time when things are so uncertain. Wanting to know what the future holds is something that has preoccupied humans for millennia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to providing one-on-one readings, Wolfe now also offers courses, mentorships and coaching in numerology, astrology, tarot and witchcraft. “Tarot [provides] clarity and guidance,” she explains, “but I think astrology is the better tool for divination. It dates back to the oldest civilizations in Egypt, Babylonia, China. I think a lot of people have been drawn to following it this past year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During times of crisis, one of the most comforting things about prophecies and predictions is the sense they give us that nothing is accidental.

"content": "\u003cp>It’s been a while since I’ve seen a new studio picture like \u003cem>The Little Things—\u003c/em>a big, meaty, slickly made crime drama featuring a trio of Academy Award winners. That’s partly due to COVID-19, which caused theaters to close 10 months ago and led the studios to postpone some of their biggest titles. But even if there weren’t a pandemic and \u003cem>The Little Things \u003c/em>had been widely released in theaters as planned, it might still have played like a relic from an earlier moviemaking decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what it is. The ’90s were something of a renaissance era for serial-killer movies, and the director, John Lee Hancock, wrote this script back in 1993, two years after \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/04/26/525716786/jonathan-demme-and-the-simple-power-of-the-close-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Silence of the Lambs\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and two years before \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/10/02/353017242/david-fincher-talks-gone-girl-avoids-spoilers-hooray\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Fincher\u003c/a>‘s notorious shocker \u003cem>Se7en\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s interesting to think how \u003cem>The Little Things\u003c/em> might have fit into the genre if it had been made back then. But for various reasons, even though Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood both considered directing it, the movie never got off the ground. It was revived only a few years ago, now with Hancock in the director’s chair. He appears to have made few changes to his script, which is still set in the ’90s, probably because so much of the story depends on pay phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17780245\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denzel Washington\u003c/a> plays Joe Deacon, also known as Deke, a former Los Angeles detective who now works as a sheriff’s deputy in Bakersfield. But on a work-related trip down to L.A., he meets up with his old friends on the force and gets pulled into a major case. His unlikely partner is a young hotshot named Jim Baxter, played by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/21/669850052/you-better-own-this-how-rami-malek-came-to-embody-freddie-mercury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rami Malek\u003c/a>. In typical buddy-cop fashion, they get off on the wrong foot but soon settle into a comfortable groove, with Deke playing the grizzled mentor to Baxter’s ambitious up-and-comer. [aside postid='arts_13865555']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re trying to solve the murders of several young women, the latest of whom has been found in a run-down flophouse—one of many reminders here of an older, less gentrified Los Angeles. The police make a thorough sweep of the scene, but it’s Deke who finds the evidence that leads them to a repairman, Albert Sparma, who becomes their prime suspect. He’s played by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2013/10/31/241428346/jared-leto-was-seduced-by-role-of-rayon-in-buyers-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jared Leto\u003c/a>, who sports long, stringy hair and a prosthetic nose, and who gives a performance of such calculated creepiness, he might as well be wearing an “Arrest Me” sign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HZAnkxdYuA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Sparma may look like their man, Deke and Baxter have a hard time finding the evidence that would prove it. It’s never clear if Sparma is the culprit or just a true-crime buff who enjoys toying with the police. Over time, the uncertainty begins to eat away at Baxter—in much the same way it once ate away at Deke, who left the LAPD years ago after another unsolved case nearly drove him mad. If \u003cem>The Little Things\u003c/em> has an obvious kinship with \u003cem>Se7en\u003c/em>, it also seems to anticipate another David Fincher triumph, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7687059\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Zodiac\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, in which a criminal investigation becomes a corrosive personal obsession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The script has its creaky, tin-eared moments. I could have done with fewer of Deke and Baxter’s strained wisecracks, and there’s something a little obvious about their gradual realization of how similar they are under the skin. The forensic details are as familiar as they are gruesome: You’ve seen it all before, from the blood-spattered crime scenes and nude corpses on autopsy tables to the wall of evidence covered with maps and photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s worth remembering that Hancock conceived this story nearly 30 years ago, when these images weren’t the clichés they are now. \u003cem>The Little Things\u003c/em> may look like a retread, but it feels more like a time capsule, a weirdly enveloping trip down memory lane. I got wrapped up in its slowly unraveling twists, and in the rapport between the two leads; Washington is all too convincing as a dogged crime solver who isn’t afraid to go rogue when needed. He’s also one of the few movie stars, of course, who’s as popular now as he was in the ’90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hancock himself has come a long way since then; he has a sturdy command of craft, as he’s demonstrated in the other movies he’s directed, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120456017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Blind Side\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2013/12/12/249779989/making-mary-poppins-with-more-than-a-spoonful-of-sugar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Saving Mr. Banks\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \u003cem>The Little Things\u003c/em> tells a much darker story, but Hancock proves a better fit than you might think. He’s good at quickening your pulse, and his attention to details—the “little things” of the title—slowly draws you in. There’s nothing comforting about this grim, existentially unsettling movie, but its patient, old-school pleasures provide their own kind of satisfaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2021 Fresh Air.

If \u003cem>The Little Things\u003c/em> has an obvious kinship with \u003cem>Se7en\u003c/em>, it also seems to anticipate another David Fincher triumph, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7687059\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Zodiac\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, in which a criminal investigation becomes a corrosive personal obsession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The script has its creaky, tin-eared moments. I could have done with fewer of Deke and Baxter’s strained wisecracks, and there’s something a little obvious about their gradual realization of how similar they are under the skin. The forensic details are as familiar as they are gruesome: You’ve seen it all before, from the blood-spattered crime scenes and nude corpses on autopsy tables to the wall of evidence covered with maps and photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s worth remembering that Hancock conceived this story nearly 30 years ago, when these images weren’t the clichés they are now. \u003cem>The Little Things\u003c/em> may look like a retread, but it feels more like a time capsule, a weirdly enveloping trip down memory lane. I got wrapped up in its slowly unraveling twists, and in the rapport between the two leads; Washington is all too convincing as a dogged crime solver who isn’t afraid to go rogue when needed. He’s also one of the few movie stars, of course, who’s as popular now as he was in the ’90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hancock himself has come a long way since then; he has a sturdy command of craft, as he’s demonstrated in the other movies he’s directed, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120456017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Blind Side\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2013/12/12/249779989/making-mary-poppins-with-more-than-a-spoonful-of-sugar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Saving Mr. Banks\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \u003cem>The Little Things\u003c/em> tells a much darker story, but Hancock proves a better fit than you might think. He’s good at quickening your pulse, and his attention to details—the “little things” of the title—slowly draws you in. There’s nothing comforting about this grim, existentially unsettling movie, but its patient, old-school pleasures provide their own kind of satisfaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2021 Fresh Air.

"content": "\u003cp>When COVID-19 forced HBO’s \u003cem>Euphoria\u003c/em> to press pause on filming Season 2, it could have completely scuppered the show’s momentum. Season 1 ultimately succeeded in conveying the trials of Gen Z adolescence, but it also focused a little too much time and energy on proving how dysfunctional its characters were. In the end, \u003cem>Euphoria\u003c/em> worked because of the strength and commitment of its supremely talented cast, but it also occasionally got bogged down in its own desire to shock. [aside postid='pop_95643']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two special episodes to emerge out of the pandemic—“Rue,” which aired in December, and “Jules,” which started streaming over the weekend—have benefitted from slowing down their focus and allowing the show’s two lead characters to exhale. In taking the time to permit Rue (played by Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer) to verbalize everything they have going on internally, the show has managed to sharply pinpoint the agony of teenage life in a much more effective way than the first season did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1P5czi0H_g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sunday’s hour-long episode, Jules, 17 and trans, is seen in a therapy session. There, she discusses her relationship to men, to Rue—who recently crossed over from best friend to love interest—and to her own body. In Season 1, the agony of teen girlhood was conveyed, by and large, via a variety of characters dealing with physical and emotional exploitations. The girls were subjected to sexual assaults, coercion, pressure to take nude photos, and slut-shaming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of those things pose real threats to the lives of teenage girls, of course. But it was in Sunday’s episode that I was most viscerally reminded of the weight and near-constant discomfort inherent in being a teenage girl. Jules, in describing to her therapist why Rue felt so much like home, made a speech that took me right back to high school in a way no other piece of television ever has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Most girls when you first talk to them, they automatically analyze and compare themselves to you. Then they search for where you fit into their hierarchy and treat you accordingly. Like, how close you are to what they collectively want to be in their heads. And even if they’ve mastered the art of hiding it with smiles and nods and small talk, you still catch them doing it. You know, their eyes wandering over your face, or the quick takes up and down your body. They watch how your clothes hang off your torso, or they look for what tags are on your clothes to see where you shop, or they’ll watch your hands to find fucked up cuticles or chipped nail polish. It would be a sensual experience if it wasn’t so fucking terrifying.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So often television boils down the teen experience to girls being unnecessarily mean to each other. But here, we got much closer to the truth. Girls, under near-constant pressure to be the thinnest, the prettiest, the best dressed, take it out on each other even when they don’t mean to, because of living in a near-constant state of insecurity. Many can’t help but scrutinize others as a means to figure out what they’re doing wrong, or in what way they could be better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her special episode, Jules also talks about the realization that her attachment to taking hormones is, in part, rooted in trying to keep her voice high and her body small. And while she’s talking about her experience from a trans perspective, those sentiments ring true for a lot of adolescent girls. Smallness is, Jules believes, “what men want.” In real life, that belief system is one of the reasons puberty is considered a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3761220/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">critical risk period\u003c/a>” for eating disorders in girls. I don’t recall ever hearing this discussed on a fictional TV show in a way that didn’t also convey the girl as somehow vain, self-indulgent or self-destructive. [aside postid='pop_112407']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consistently in the show, Rue has been an example of a girl who has neither the time nor the energy to worry about such things. Instead, she has her grief, depression and addiction to contend with. But her unwillingness to do what is expected of her—her inability to fit in—is one of the things that alienates her from her peers and makes her feel so unlovable. Jules and Rue share deep feelings for each other precisely because they are both so different from the other girls. That’s why they know how to accept each other unconditionally. One scene in which Rue is seen lovingly helping Jules inject her hormones hammers the point home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you are an alienated teenager, finding a friend who will love you unconditionally and without judgment can be a literal life-saver. When we saw Rue in her special in December, alienated from Jules, she was once again so untethered, so uncomfortable in her own skin, that she expressed a desire to not “be here anymore.” It reminded me of conversations I had in my teens. Sometimes it was my friends saying it; sometimes it was me. That specific degree of pain—the pain of trying to find your place in a seemingly hostile world—had been wiped from my memory until \u003cem>Euphoria\u003c/em> brought it all screaming back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA1-ibkOzAA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these two special episodes, \u003cem>Euphoria\u003c/em> elevated its teen characters out of their narrow niches—the drug addict and the desperate-for-love trans girl—and gave them a depth that made them infinitely more relatable for much wider audiences. The specials successfully conveyed the small agonies that are ever-present for so many teenage girls, especially the ones who are a little bit different. And those intense and memorable performances from both Hunter Schafer and Zendaya were cathartic—not just for the teens still going through it, but for the countless adults who already survived it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion were featured, alongside Kendrick Lamar’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4RELGc9su8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HUMBLE\u003c/a>,” Missy Elliott’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjIvu7e6Wq8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Work It\u003c/a>,” Soulja Boy’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UFIYGkROII\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crank That\u003c/a>” and Tupac and Dr. Dre’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wBTdfAkqGU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Love\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennis’ performance, in which she raised her fist in a Black Power salute and stepped in honor of her father, has since been dubbed the Black Excellence routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since going viral, Dennis has received shout-outs on social media from the likes of \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Simone_Biles/status/1353423196754595841\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Simone Biles\u003c/a>, \u003cem>Queer Eye\u003c/em>’s \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Karamo/status/1353454885958639616\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Karamo\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MissyElliott/status/1353434461548015617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Missy Elliott\u003c/a> herself.

"content": "\u003cp>In May of 1970, at a San Francisco concert venue best known for reverberating with the sounds of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/15440218/grateful-dead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grateful Dead\u003c/a> and Jefferson Airplane, three masters of Indian classical music took the stage for a celebration of Indian ragas. The concert was recorded by another legend of the time: Owsley Stanley, the man who designed the Dead’s innovative sound system, as well as making what was reputed to be the best LSD of its day. That recording is now available as a live album, titled \u003cem>Bear’s Sonic Journals: That Which Colors the Mind\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On that night, Indian sarod master Ali Akbar Khan was joined on stage by sitar player Indranil Bhattacharya and a 19-year-old percussionist named \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/113441328/zakir-hussain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zakir Hussain\u003c/a>. Hussain had just arrived in America a few months before, occupied with finding his way around the country and understanding the slang: “Words like ‘far-out’ and ‘groovy’ and all weren’t quite registering,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The language of the hippie generation may not have clicked for Hussain, but sitar maestro Ravi Shankar had already electrified the Woodstock and Monterey Pop festivals. The audience in San Francisco that night was primed to listen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In India, I was used to playing with the audience chiming in,” Hussain recalls. “Everybody saying ‘Wow’ and … ‘Do that again,’ and all that stuff. But here the audience was quiet, eyes closed, meditative. The room was dark so you couldn’t really make eye contact with the audience, and so you were left to rely on your interaction with your fellow musicians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since his first American concert, Zakir Hussain has become perhaps the most famous tabla player in the world. He now lives in California, and he says it was this performance 50 years ago that showed him that Indian classical music could be played in the West in its purest form. “It really set the tone of how I would present myself to my fellow musicians—whoever I was accompanying—for the rest of my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Capturing the performance in the highest fidelity possible was the goal of Owsley Stanley, the man known to friends as “The Bear.” Hussain says Stanley was often seen running around “like a madman,” tripping over wires and cursing. “This was a guy who knew what needed to be done about how this music should be presented to those who were not there. I mean, Bear had this idea that the music should be heard in a way where people can close their eyes and actually see where the musicians are seated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His objective with his recording was to try to capture the audiences’ experience so that he could improve the sound system,” says Starfinder Stanley, son of the late sound man and head of the \u003ca href=\"https://owsleystanleyfoundation.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Owsley Stanley Foundation\u003c/a>. He describes his father as an “audiophile who was born in a low fidelity world,” devoted to improving the sound systems and overall sonic experience of rock and roll. “He called his tapes his sonic journals,” he recalls. “They were his working diary so that he could improve the sound.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myYeIlhh45U\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Foundation has begun restoring Stanley’s tapes and releasing the music. “He had collected about 1,300 reels of 80 different artists in nearly every idiom you can imagine of music,” says Hawk Semins, the executive producer of the series. From Miles Davis to Janis Joplin, Semins says these live recordings capture the ‘magic’ of the ’60s and ’70s Bay Area music scene. “It’s just absolutely remarkable the mix that’s reflected, the contacts that there were, the open-mindedness of the scene in terms of the various musical influences,” he says. “You’ve got Ali Akbar Khan one night, and you’ve got Commander Cody another night, and you’ve got the Grateful Dead another night. And they were all listening to each other, and they were all playing with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a time for expanding consciousness, and while Starfinder acknowledges his father’s role in chemically altering the minds of that scene’s participants, he insists the music was Owsley Stanley’s real drug. Zakir Hussain says that idea is captured in the new album’s title: Thousands of years ago, an ancient thinker named Bharata lived in India; he wrote many treatises, including the \u003cem>Natya Shastra\u003c/em>, where raga originates. “It says, ‘\u003cem>Rangati iti raga\u003c/em>,’ which means ‘That which colors the mind is a raga.’ And that ties into this recording, the title.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starfinder says he hopes the recordings can introduce a new generation to a pivotal moment in American music history, when genres and cultures cross-pollinated in a spirit of openness and dialogue. He suggests that the album makes a great companion in the chaos of our current time, especially in moments where one needs to unplug and step back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Stop doom-scrolling through all the crazy stuff that’s going on,” he says. “Let this into your mind, and let it soothe that internal monologue.
