Victoria's friend resists his advances, until he drops a line about how she deserves a man who notices the way her curls fall on her neck.

I know how to spot a good milker.\" After an initial Goldilocks struggle -- these are too small, these are too round -- she finds a pair that is just right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the undisclosed location, Twerp Assassin shoots at a scarecrow stand-in for the Queen. That's scary and all, but can we take a moment to appreciate his dress-making abilities?

Nyro, born Laura Nigro in the Bronx, combined gospel, pop, rock and jazz, with lyrics that were political, poetic, and sometimes whimsical.

Hunter quit music for years to work as a nurse, then came out of retirement at the age of 82 and became more popular than ever. Gomez wrote the play with actress Desiree Rogers in mind for the lead, who often works with the LGBT-focused \u003ca href=\"http://www.nctcsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Conservatory Theatre Center\u003c/a>.

Do you detect a theme? \u003ca href=\"http://gabrielkahane.tumblr.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gabriel Kahane \u003c/a>writes and plays tunes that are a blend of art song, pop, and cabaret, and he’s set Craigslist ads to music in a song cycle he’s calling \u003cem>Craigslistlieder\u003c/em>, including ditties like “Half a Box of Condoms.” Kahane comes by his love of this classic genre naturally: His dad is pianist and conductor \u003ca href=\"http://www.cmartists.com/artists/jeffrey-kahane.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeffrey Kahane\u003c/a> (formerly music director for the Santa Rosa Symphony), and son Gabriel is writing songs that somehow both celebrate and mock the old lieder tradition. At this week’s concert, Kahane also sings Schumann’s song cycle, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cor-5Cps3uU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dichterliebe,\u003c/a>” which is just gorgeous, and selections from recent recordings.

Wade \u003c/a>that is not a courtroom drama. It’s a modern history play about the very complicated life of Sarah Weddington, the lawyer who successfully fought to make abortion legal; and the equally complicated life of her client Norma McCorvey, who died a few weeks ago, and who famously campaigned against abortion later in her life. Playwright Lisa Loomer says when she wrote the piece for its premiere at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.osfashland.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oregon Shakespeare Festival\u003c/a>, she and her collaborators all assumed Hillary Clinton would now be president, and she says the show is all the more timely now that we’ve elected a president who’s pledged to appoint justices who will overturn Roe. In a recent interview, Loomer talked about how her own thinking about abortion changed as she wrote the play. “The awful thing about being a human being,” she said, “is that we have to make terrible choices. And the play made me very wary of people who would seek to make my choices seemingly easier than they are, or to tell me, you don’t need to choose, just do what I tell you to do.” There will be pre- and post-show discussions at many of the performances with people working on the issues of women’s health and reproductive rights. Details for Roe at the Berkeley Repertory Theater \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyrep.org/season/1617/10665.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0E5vMkDfOI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>March 7\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.bigthief.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Thief\u003c/a>’s new album is called \u003ca href=\"https://saddle-creek.com/products/masterpiece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Masterpiece\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, a title which takes a lot of guts when it’s also your first album as a band. But it’s darn good, with all the songs by vocalist and guitarist Adrianne Lenker (who spent time at the Berklee School of Music). She and Buck Meek are the core of the band, with Max Oleartchik on bass, and James Krivchenia on drums. The title track is pretty rocking, but other songs stray down indie folk and country roads in surprising ways. Catch them in a small club while you still can.

Wade \u003c/a>that is not a courtroom drama. It’s a modern history play about the very complicated life of Sarah Weddington, the lawyer who successfully fought to make abortion legal; and the equally complicated life of her client Norma McCorvey, who died a few weeks ago, and who famously campaigned against abortion later in her life. Playwright Lisa Loomer says when she wrote the piece for its premiere at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.osfashland.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oregon Shakespeare Festival\u003c/a>, she and her collaborators all assumed Hillary Clinton would now be president, and she says the show is all the more timely now that we’ve elected a president who’s pledged to appoint justices who will overturn Roe. In a recent interview, Loomer talked about how her own thinking about abortion changed as she wrote the play. “The awful thing about being a human being,” she said, “is that we have to make terrible choices. And the play made me very wary of people who would seek to make my choices seemingly easier than they are, or to tell me, you don’t need to choose, just do what I tell you to do.” There will be pre- and post-show discussions at many of the performances with people working on the issues of women’s health and reproductive rights.

She made everyone comfortable as we shared life lessons, drinks and food she prepared sitting around her dining table. We have became another family of close friends. To this day, I can reminisce with Andrew Young, George Faison, Marciarose Shestack, Howard Dodson, Belva Davis, Don Martin, Dr. Maxine Mimms, Louise Meriweather, and a host of people from all walks of life who came together for their common love of Maya. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of us were honored to be invited to her home for Thanksgiving every year up until her recent death. We would have dinner, a barbecue, talent show, church service and a whole weekend of adventures. The talent show might include a soliloquy by Cicely Tyson, singing by the late Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson, cellists and virtuoso pianists, comedians, and ordinary folk doing a classical dance. Folks came from all over the world to partake in Maya’s Thanksgiving dinners. Oprah would fly in some years and bring bread pudding cooked by her chef. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just recently, Maya’s family of friends continued the tradition by attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of her being the first African-American and second woman to have a building named after her at Wake Forest University. We were able to tour the building this past Thanksgiving and witnessed a rainbow in the clouds hovering right over the building. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel so fortunate to have all these memories and photos I’ve taken through the years.

To this day, I can reminisce with Andrew Young, George Faison, Marciarose Shestack, Howard Dodson, Belva Davis, Don Martin, Dr. Maxine Mimms, Louise Meriweather, and a host of people from all walks of life who came together for their common love of Maya. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of us were honored to be invited to her home for Thanksgiving every year up until her recent death. We would have dinner, a barbecue, talent show, church service and a whole weekend of adventures. The talent show might include a soliloquy by Cicely Tyson, singing by the late Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson, cellists and virtuoso pianists, comedians, and ordinary folk doing a classical dance. Folks came from all over the world to partake in Maya’s Thanksgiving dinners. Oprah would fly in some years and bring bread pudding cooked by her chef. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just recently, Maya’s family of friends continued the tradition by attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of her being the first African-American and second woman to have a building named after her at Wake Forest University. We were able to tour the building this past Thanksgiving and witnessed a rainbow in the clouds hovering right over the building. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel so fortunate to have all these memories and photos I’ve taken through the years. It makes me happy to share my joy with folk as Dr. Maya Angelou shared her extraordinary friendship, grace and camaraderie with me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Below are photos from Dr. Hughes’s personal collection:\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Trump’s since-overturned travel ban, cab drivers around JFK decided to strike as a show of opposition — and the rideshare giant went the opposite route, proudly disabling their surge pricing to allow for cheaper fares to and from the airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between that and the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/02/ubers-travis-kalanick-steps-down-from-trumps-advisory-board/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brouhaha around CEO Travis Kalanick’s role on Trump’s economic advisory council \u003c/a>(he’s since stepped down), a #DeleteUber campaign went viral overnight, with an estimated \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/over-200000-people-deleted-uber-after-deleteuber-2017-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">200,000 people\u003c/a> taking their business elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks later, former Uber engineer Susan Fowler \u003ca href=\"https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote in a scathing and widely-shared blog post\u003c/a> about the sexual harassment she alleges she faced while employed there, describing a deeply “toxic” workplace culture of nepotism, sexism, and silencing of female employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are, of course, far from the first nuggets of bad press the company’s received: There’s the eerie fact that employees can track customers \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/insights/2015/01/uber-privacy-woes-cautionary-tale/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anywhere, at any time\u003c/a>.

The company is said to be considering \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/03/technology/uber-said-to-consider-changes-to-employee-stock-compensation.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changes in stock compensation\u003c/a> to retain disgruntled employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damning video that surfaced this week and quickly went viral via Bloomberg, then, is really just icing on the bad PR cake. The dashboard footage — of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/01/uber-ceo-travis-kalanick-argues-with-uber-black-driver/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uber CEO Travis Kalanick responding like a whiny child when a driver takes him to task\u003c/a> — is embarrassing on several levels.

Well, maybe not to those latter diatribes, but I did read through each email and respond to the non-abusive ones. To those Maroon 5 superfans, let me say: I hear you.

After their 2010 wedding in India—the basis for Perry’s performance of \u003ca href=\"http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/katy-perry-finally-shares-wedding-images----at-the-grammys--2011132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Not Like the Movies”\u003c/a> at the Grammys three months later—\u003cem>Marie Claire\u003c/em> called them “one of Hollywood’s hottest pairings.” By the time Brand had famously broken up with Perry via text and filed for divorce, the cover of \u003cem>US Weekly\u003c/em> screamed “MARRIED TO A CRAZY MAN” instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is an assumption for many people on this side of the Atlantic that Brand’s disappearance is related to the fact that he was only famous because of Perry; that once those rings came off, his career died because he could no longer ride her coattails. (“Now he doesn’t have Katy Perry, he’s just a nobody,” we hear at the start of his \u003cem>Brand: A Second Coming\u003c/em> documentary.) Others suggest that his films just never did well enough at the box office to keep him in business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is far more complex—and far more interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is true that the consistently unfiltered Brand is a difficult prospect to sell to American audiences. His distinctly European flamboyance is off-putting for conservatives, as is the sexually crude wordplay he favors (which has also landed him \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Russell_Brand_Show_prank_telephone_calls_row\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in hot water\u003c/a> in his native England). His tendency toward verbose flourishes can be read by American audiences as pretentious and self-indulgent. It’s also true that when one tries to squeeze Brand into any kind of structured format, he is rarely able to shine—as FX found out when they gave him a chat show, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_X_with_Russell_Brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brand X\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, which lasted just two seasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13935238]The real root of Brand’s absence from our screens has less to do with ratings than it does with his own relationship with guilt, fame and spirituality. The key turning point for Brand was \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msMRZZIw6g0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a trip to Africa\u003c/a> on behalf of Comic Relief in 2013. Having spent days witnessing dire poverty and suffering, surrounded by children orphaned by AIDS, he returned to the opulence of Hollywood life \u003ca href=\"http://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/entertainment/news/a39349/russell-brand-documentary-katy-perry/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">and declared\u003c/a>: “Oh my fucking God, I’m living this life that’s the very thing I detest: vapid, vacuous celebrity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The turnaround was fast. In 2013, Brand guest-edited \u003ca href=\"http://www.newstatesman.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The New Statesman\u003c/em>\u003c/a>—an award-winning British publication concerned with politics and current affairs. Shortly afterwards, he appeared on BBC’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mk25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Newsnight\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, an equally stuffy and intellectually minded television show. The interview caused adoration and outrage in equal measure from the British public, with Brand talking about his unwillingness to vote and his desire for revolution. The usually unflappable host, Jeremy Paxman, was visibly irritated by the whole thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YR4CseY9pk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Brand talks about his personal philosophies, he does so from a place of experience. Before the \u003cem>Newsnight\u003c/em> interview, his years of seeking peace and fulfillment through drug abuse and promiscuous sex were artfully and amusingly relayed in 2007’s foolishly titled but thought-provoking autobiography, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/My-Booky-Wook-Memoir-Stand-Up/dp/0061857807\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>My Booky Wook\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. The less-interesting followup, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Booky-Wook-This-Time-Personal/dp/0061958085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Booky Wook 2: This Time It’s Personal\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (2010) saw Brand inching toward real international fame for the first time and seeking solace there, as well as in his new relationship with Perry. “For Katy,” the book’s dedication reads. “This is my past. You are my future.” (Another example of Brand throwing himself into his choices of the moment with absolute fervor).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13923161]Post-divorce, and post-Hollywood, Brand plunged into figuring out where to go next. By 2014, he had concluded, very vocally, that the answer for him lay in a somewhat jarring combination of spiritual and political activism. In the book he released that year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Russell-Brand/dp/1101882913/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1487279097&sr=1-1&keywords=russell+brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Revolution\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, he writes: “The solution is not fame or money or any transient adornment of the individual. The only revolution that can really change the world is the one in your own consciousness, and mine has already begun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview to promote the book, Brand \u003ca href=\"https://www.ft.com/content/64206eb2-583f-11e4-a31b-00144feab7de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told \u003cem>The Financial Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (of all places) that he wasn’t “interested in making money any more”—a truth demonstrated by \u003ca href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2012/02/08/russell-brand-katy-perry-divorce-money/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his refusal to take the $20 million from Katy Perry\u003c/a> that he was legally entitled to from their divorce. “I think an economic ideology is oppositional to the spiritual ideologies that are what we need to adopt if we’re to save our planet and humankind,” he said. “Capitalism … prevents us from seeing that we’re all connected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 2014 documentary, \u003cem>Russell Brand: A Second Coming\u003c/em>, he asserts his view of fame and fortune in a manner that is blunt: “Fame, power and money is bullshit,” he says. “I’ve now seen what happens if you make money in Hollywood. It’s a pretend world. Nothing’s real.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py2Y0_B805w\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since he disappeared from America, Brand has been off trying to make himself useful. For five years now, he has been campaigning to get drug addiction treated as a health issue, rather than a criminal one. He counsels drug addicts in his spare time. He has two documentaries on the subject available on Netflix (\u003ca href=\"http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/russell-brand-addiction-recovery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>From Addiction to Recovery\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jInyztmwU_U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>End the Drugs War\u003c/em>\u003c/a>) and he has offered expert testimony to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_LHuII-jYQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.K. government \u003c/a>on the subject.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, there are the social and political commentaries Brand disperses on his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3Ou5uFFn8Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Trews\u003c/em>\u003c/a> YouTube channel, a perfect outlet for him to vent and inform in a time when \u003ca href=\"http://www.niemanlab.org/2016/05/pew-report-44-percent-of-u-s-adults-get-news-on-facebook/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">62 percent\u003c/a> of American adults access news through social media. Remarkably, Brand named his show “The True News” three years before “fake news” became a thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13934462]Last year, Brand returned to movies after a three-year break. It’s a move accompanied—probably not coincidentally—by the birth of his first child. He appeared in \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1679335/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trolls\u003c/a> \u003c/em>and\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/videoplayer/vi1341044249?ref_=tt_pv_vi_aiv_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Army of One\u003c/a> (\u003c/em>alongside Nicolas Cage)\u003cem>. \u003c/em>This year, he will return to his Dr. Nefario role in \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3469046/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Despicable Me 3\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undoubtedly, though, Brand’s years of chasing fulfillment via fame and glamor are very much over. These days, living in the British countryside, he finds \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axaQeZdVOgM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personal satisfaction\u003c/a> in simplicity (“I’m so much happier over the course of the day to see one or two people and a few chickens,” he told \u003ca href=\"http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/russell-brand-on-being-a-firsttime-father-i-feel-litup-about-the-idea-i-m-very-excited-a3372941.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>ES Magazine\u003c/em>\u003c/a> last year) and professional fulfillment through his continuing analyses of how politics affects the proletariat. In addition to his public ponderings on spirituality and the meaning of life, he has returned to school to study religion and global politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brand is that most unusual of figures—a man who succeeded and then walked away from blinding opportunities to give personal growth priority over wealth. In an age of reality television, when being famous for fame’s sake has \u003ca href=\"http://guardianlv.com/2013/08/studies-show-that-children-just-want-to-be-famous/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more allure than ever\u003c/a>, he offers a valuable alternative.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The key turning point for Brand was \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msMRZZIw6g0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a trip to Africa\u003c/a> on behalf of Comic Relief in 2013.

In 2013, Brand guest-edited \u003ca href=\"http://www.newstatesman.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The New Statesman\u003c/em>\u003c/a>—an award-winning British publication concerned with politics and current affairs.

By 2014, he had concluded, very vocally, that the answer for him lay in a somewhat jarring combination of spiritual and political activism. In the book he released that year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Russell-Brand/dp/1101882913/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1487279097&sr=1-1&keywords=russell+brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Revolution\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, he writes: “The solution is not fame or money or any transient adornment of the individual.
