"content": "\u003cp>A little over a year ago, comic book-loving women all over the country sat down to watch the first trailers for CBS's brand-new \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbs.com/shows/supergirl/\">\u003cem>Supergirl\u003c/em>\u003c/a> series, only to find themselves filled with what can only be described as Hulk-levels of rage. Here was \u003ca href=\"http://www.dccomics.com/characters/supergirl\">Kara Zor-El\u003c/a>, a character easily as strong as her cousin Superman, reduced to a nervous, giggling office underling consumed with thoughts of cute guys and wardrobe dilemmas, instead of, oh, you know, flying and saving people and setting fire to things using her goddamn EYES.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a huge disappointment that came just a couple of weeks after \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> and Scarlett Johansson had brilliantly skewered sexist double standards for female comic book heroes in Hollywood, via a skit that stuck Black Widow in a rom-com. The skit was so on point, one can't help but wonder if someone at NBC got access to the \u003cem>Supergirl\u003c/em> trailer before it was released and copied it almost shot for shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare and contrast:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_5KgpN38hM]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zmji_ioFXc]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time it felt like confirmation that women in comic books were simply never going to get their due on screen -- whether in movies or on TV. Then last week, a couple of truly amazing things emerged from this year's San Diego Comic Con. The first was this little slice of character-faithful, Amazonian baddassery:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lGoQhFb4NM]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(It's okay. Take a moment to catch your breath. We know. It's awesome.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second was the news that the rather magnificent Brie Larson is going to be playing Captain Marvel. That's right, folks: the same comic book giant that has steadfastly refused to give Black Widow (or any other woman) her own movie just decided that the Captain Marvel of their new project would be female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For context, in the Marvel Universe, four out of the six Captain Marvel incarnations have been male, and the Carol Danvers character only graduated to the title of Captain Marvel three years ago, having spent the preceding 40 years with the moniker Ms. Marvel. Sure, we have to wait until 2019 to see this thing, but knowing it's happening at all is comforting for everyone who's been desperate to see Marvel do right by its female fans -- and characters -- for literally years now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marvel has apparently, finally, taken notice. The giant has been making several overdue efforts to level the playing field recently. After announcing the great feminist writer \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/23/books/black-panther-marvel-comics-roxane-gay-ta-nehisi-coates-wakanda.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Roxane Gay had been brought on to pen a new book for the \u003cem>Black Panther\u003c/em> series\u003c/a>, they closed last week's Comic Con in San Diego with the now-annual \"Women of Marvel\" panel, which shines a light on all Marvel women -- be they characters or behind the scenes -- while also seeking to empower women in the audience to work in the industry. This is, frankly, huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems that, finally, just when we'd all but given up hope, comic book giants are at last making an effort to tap into the section of their audience that has existed forever, but been woefully underrepresented on the big screen. One theory: It's possible that the success of \u003cem>Star Wars: The Force Awakens\u003c/em> has made comic bigwigs realize that sci-fi and fantasy movies don't necessarily lose money by putting a penis-less human in the lead role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teen markets have been ahead of the equality curve for years now. \u003cem>The Hunger Games\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Divergent\u003c/em> series proved that female leads -- teenage ones, no less! -- can kick ass all the way to a multi-billion dollar franchise while appealing to all genders. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Well, yeah. But just as the toy industry assumes no one wants to play with a girl action figure -- even when she's the star of the movie (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/01/06/whereisrey-shes-on-her-way-says-hasbro/\" target=\"_blank\">#WhereIsRey\u003c/a>, anyone?) -- so has the comic book industry persisted with the assumption that women don't \"get\" superheroes, or even like them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel are big enough hits, it could change the face of movie superheroes forever -- which is more important than you might think. Because if women aren't given the space to be big and brave and bold, even in a fantasy world on a screen, what hope is there for the rest of us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Sure, we have to wait until 2019 to see this thing, but knowing it's happening at all is comforting for everyone who's been desperate to see Marvel do right by its female fans -- and characters -- for literally years now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marvel has apparently, finally, taken notice. The giant has been making several overdue efforts to level the playing field recently. After announcing the great feminist writer \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/23/books/black-panther-marvel-comics-roxane-gay-ta-nehisi-coates-wakanda.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Roxane Gay had been brought on to pen a new book for the \u003cem>Black Panther\u003c/em> series\u003c/a>, they closed last week's Comic Con in San Diego with the now-annual \"Women of Marvel\" panel, which shines a light on all Marvel women -- be they characters or behind the scenes -- while also seeking to empower women in the audience to work in the industry. This is, frankly, huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems that, finally, just when we'd all but given up hope, comic book giants are at last making an effort to tap into the section of their audience that has existed forever, but been woefully underrepresented on the big screen. One theory: It's possible that the success of \u003cem>Star Wars: The Force Awakens\u003c/em> has made comic bigwigs realize that sci-fi and fantasy movies don't necessarily lose money by putting a penis-less human in the lead role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teen markets have been ahead of the equality curve for years now. \u003cem>The Hunger Games\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Divergent\u003c/em> series proved that female leads -- teenage ones, no less! -- can kick ass all the way to a multi-billion dollar franchise while appealing to all genders. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Well, yeah. But just as the toy industry assumes no one wants to play with a girl action figure -- even when she's the star of the movie (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/01/06/whereisrey-shes-on-her-way-says-hasbro/\" target=\"_blank\">#WhereIsRey\u003c/a>, anyone?) -- so has the comic book industry persisted with the assumption that women don't \"get\" superheroes, or even like them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel are big enough hits, it could change the face of movie superheroes forever -- which is more important than you might think. Because if women aren't given the space to be big and brave and bold, even in a fantasy world on a screen, what hope is there for the rest of us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And, thanks to some Bay Area world-class museums, you don’t have to go far to view European masterpieces! For example, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://museum.stanford.edu/\">Stanford’s Cantor Art Center\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> hosts one of the largest collections of Auguste Rodin’s sculptures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Shopping Enthusiast:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://www.about-face.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/A-F-2.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Milan and Paris might be considered some of the epicenters of European fashion, odds are you aren’t going to feel deprived of any major labels in a road trip down to \u003cstrong>Beverly Hills, CA \u003c/strong>and a visit to the trendy boutiques of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rodeodrive-bh.com/\">Rodeo Drive\u003c/a>. \u003c/strong>And, for an added bonus, you might get to take a selfie with some celebrities!

Think about it: there’s seemingly endless rows of vineyards, lavender fields, and olive groves. And, with California’s Mediterranean-like weather, it’s a great place to visit in the middle of summer. Not much of a wine drinker? Think about other ways to enjoy the Bay Area’s bevvy of delicious foods -- like the (admittedly touristy) ice cream shop in \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ghirardellisq.com/\">Ghirardelli Square\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>or even a local restaurant specializing in another country’s best dishes. A favorite German restaurant of mine in \u003cstrong>Sunnyvale\u003c/strong>, for example, brings back many fond memories of my grandmother’s sauerkraut and strudel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Gardener:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Tahoe_North_Shore_from_the_East_Shore.jpg/240px-Tahoe_North_Shore_from_the_East_Shore.jpg\" alt=\"Tahoe North Shore from the East Shore.jpg\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is more than the golden state -- it’s home to beautiful gardens. For a traditional Japanese garden, visit \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://hakone.us/main.html\">Hakone Gardens\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in Saratoga, California or San Jose’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseca.gov/facilities/Facility/Details/350\">Japanese Friendship Garden \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>(based off the famous Korakuen Garden)\u003cstrong>. Downton Abbey \u003c/strong>fan? There's always a lovely stroll in the extensive formal gardens at the historical home \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.filoli.org/plan-your-visit/\">Filoli\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in Woodside. Or, after a short road trip, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.huntington.org/\">the Huntington Botanical Gardens\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in San Marino, California offers more than 120 acres of a variety of gardens– including one with a Chinese theme. Want less cultivated nature? Try visiting \u003ca href=\"http://www.visitinglaketahoe.com/\">\u003cstrong>Lake Tahoe\u003c/strong> \u003c/a>and comparing it to your friends’ photos of the Alps – you’ll see there’s a lot in common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Wanderers:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/BlobServer?blobkey=id&blobwhere=1249244283000&blobheader=image%2Fjpeg&blobcol=urldata&blobtable=MungoBlobs\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, no travel experience is complete without wandering the streets of a new locale, trying to absorb a bit of the feel of this place. While many cities in California don’t match the walkability of European locales, there are places that certainly embody the spirit. For one, it’s hard not to notice the Spanish / Mediterranean influence in \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiego.org/\">San Diego\u003c/a>. \u003c/strong>From the architecture to the ocean border to the ride down Highway 1 (which evokes the Costa Brava -- the drive from Barcelona to France), it’s a safe bet for a Spanish adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, in Southern California, there’s the quaint town of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofsolvang.com/\">Solvang\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> in Santa Barbara County. Founded by a group of Danes in 1911, you might even feel a twinge of phantom jet lag when looking at the copy of the Little Mermaid statue (the original is in Copenhagen) or the Round Tower in the town’s center. And, did I mention the pastries?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if a trip to Southern California doesn’t seem appealing, there’s always the option to stay home, find a small little B&B and order room service. Explore a local cultural neighborhood -- the Bay Area is home to many different experiences!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most importantly, though, travel is often as much about the story arriving to your destination than what you manage to see there. So, if you’re missing a great train trip, why not try Amtrak’s 35-hour \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train\">\u003cstrong>Coast Starlight\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> sleeper train from Los Angeles to Seattle, widely regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular train routes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trains not your thing thanks to too many Agatha Christie novels? There’s always the option of taking a short cruise starting out from the San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all these options, pretty soon, your friends will be looking at your photos and remembering why they will always leave their hearts in San Francisco (and all of California).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what’s your favorite local spot? Leave it in the comments below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Think about it: there’s seemingly endless rows of vineyards, lavender fields, and olive groves. And, with California’s Mediterranean-like weather, it’s a great place to visit in the middle of summer. Not much of a wine drinker? Think about other ways to enjoy the Bay Area’s bevvy of delicious foods -- like the (admittedly touristy) ice cream shop in \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ghirardellisq.com/\">Ghirardelli Square\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>or even a local restaurant specializing in another country’s best dishes. A favorite German restaurant of mine in \u003cstrong>Sunnyvale\u003c/strong>, for example, brings back many fond memories of my grandmother’s sauerkraut and strudel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Gardener:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Tahoe_North_Shore_from_the_East_Shore.jpg/240px-Tahoe_North_Shore_from_the_East_Shore.jpg\" alt=\"Tahoe North Shore from the East Shore.jpg\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is more than the golden state -- it’s home to beautiful gardens. For a traditional Japanese garden, visit \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://hakone.us/main.html\">Hakone Gardens\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in Saratoga, California or San Jose’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseca.gov/facilities/Facility/Details/350\">Japanese Friendship Garden \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>(based off the famous Korakuen Garden)\u003cstrong>. Downton Abbey \u003c/strong>fan? There's always a lovely stroll in the extensive formal gardens at the historical home \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.filoli.org/plan-your-visit/\">Filoli\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in Woodside. Or, after a short road trip, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.huntington.org/\">the Huntington Botanical Gardens\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in San Marino, California offers more than 120 acres of a variety of gardens– including one with a Chinese theme. Want less cultivated nature? Try visiting \u003ca href=\"http://www.visitinglaketahoe.com/\">\u003cstrong>Lake Tahoe\u003c/strong> \u003c/a>and comparing it to your friends’ photos of the Alps – you’ll see there’s a lot in common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Wanderers:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/BlobServer?blobkey=id&blobwhere=1249244283000&blobheader=image%2Fjpeg&blobcol=urldata&blobtable=MungoBlobs\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, no travel experience is complete without wandering the streets of a new locale, trying to absorb a bit of the feel of this place. While many cities in California don’t match the walkability of European locales, there are places that certainly embody the spirit. For one, it’s hard not to notice the Spanish / Mediterranean influence in \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiego.org/\">San Diego\u003c/a>. \u003c/strong>From the architecture to the ocean border to the ride down Highway 1 (which evokes the Costa Brava -- the drive from Barcelona to France), it’s a safe bet for a Spanish adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, in Southern California, there’s the quaint town of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofsolvang.com/\">Solvang\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> in Santa Barbara County. Founded by a group of Danes in 1911, you might even feel a twinge of phantom jet lag when looking at the copy of the Little Mermaid statue (the original is in Copenhagen) or the Round Tower in the town’s center. And, did I mention the pastries?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if a trip to Southern California doesn’t seem appealing, there’s always the option to stay home, find a small little B&B and order room service. Explore a local cultural neighborhood -- the Bay Area is home to many different experiences!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most importantly, though, travel is often as much about the story arriving to your destination than what you manage to see there. So, if you’re missing a great train trip, why not try Amtrak’s 35-hour \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train\">\u003cstrong>Coast Starlight\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> sleeper train from Los Angeles to Seattle, widely regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular train routes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trains not your thing thanks to too many Agatha Christie novels? There’s always the option of taking a short cruise starting out from the San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all these options, pretty soon, your friends will be looking at your photos and remembering why they will always leave their hearts in San Francisco (and all of California).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what’s your favorite local spot? Leave it in the comments below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And perhaps most famously now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/the-rolling-stones/95195\" target=\"_blank\">The Rolling Stones\u003c/a> — more on them later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legally, however, the GOP and the Trump campaign can use all those songs, as Melinda Newman (a former colleague of mine at \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em>) explained in \u003cem>Forbes\u003c/em> this week, as long as the rights holders are paid: \"The \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/melindanewman/2016/07/19/why-queen-cannot-stop-trumps-use-of-we-are-the-champions/2/#40ee6e935e7c\">sad truth\u003c/a> is for many artists, they can not keep their songs from being used in this context even if they vehemently disagree with the politician who is using the song.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only use that such unhappy musicians can prohibit is in political commercials — and so far, Trump has not needed to rely on paid advertisements to get his message and visage in the public eye. (By contrast, a suit involving music used in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7438177/suit-ted-cruz-song-use-audiosocket-going-forward\" target=\"_blank\">Ted Cruz campaign commercial\u003c/a> during the primaries will go ahead, a judge in Seattle ruled earlier this month.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other musicians who have in the past publicly said that they don't necessarily agree with the Republican platform took a different tack. The convention's house band this year was led by guitarist and former \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> musical director G.E. Smith. This isn't the first time that Smith and his bandmates have played a Republican convention. As Smith explained to \u003ca href=\"http://www.guitarworld.com/features-news-interviews/ge-smith-talks-bass-republicans-and-performing-roger-waters/%0919609\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Guitar World\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2013, he's taken these gigs on with family bills in mind: \"Well, not only will this pay for several years of Josie [his daughter]'s school, but I can hire six or seven of my friends, and give them a really good pay day too ... We may not be Republicans, obviously, but it was really interesting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, Smith and his fellow musicians put together some intriguing song choices together to entertain the delegates. Among them was David Bowie's \"Station to Station,\" which \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/18/watch_the_rnc_house_band_sing_a_david_bowie_song_about_cocaine.html\" target=\"_blank\">includes\u003c/a> lines like \"It's not the side-effects of the cocaine/I'm thinking that it must be love/It's too late to be grateful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one of the band's picks on Wednesday was, according to \u003cem>Newsday, \u003c/em>a huge \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/samsanders/status/755908993319567360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">crowd favorite\u003c/a>: Neil Diamond's \"Sweet Caroline\" — a song which was, Diamond claimed \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/nov/21/usa.musicnews\" target=\"_blank\">in 2007\u003c/a>, written in honor of one very notable Democrat: Caroline Bouvier Kennedy — the current U.S. \u003ca href=\"http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/amb/tamb-bio.html\" target=\"_blank\">ambassador to Japan\u003c/a>. (Diamond \u003ca href=\"http://www.today.com/popculture/neil-diamond-reveals-sweet-caroline-secret-today-1D80228037\" target=\"_blank\">later said\u003c/a> that his cute back story was only partly true.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other artists were a little more directly confrontational with the delegates. Four years ago, singer Stephan Jenkins explained why his band, Third Eye Blind, turned down an invitation to play a private party during the Republican National Convention: \"They are in fact, a party dedicated to exclusion...If I came to their convention, I would \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephan-jenkins/third-eye-blind-rnc_b_1839576.html\" target=\"_blank\">Occupy\u003c/a> their convention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, however, Third Eye Blind, a band whose popularity was at its peak about 20 years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/07/20/third-eye-blind-trolls-rnc-party-comments-science-songs-not-semi-charmed-life/\" target=\"_blank\">morphed into a Trojan horse of anti-Republican sentiment\u003c/a> when they played a charity show at Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the apparent purpose of riling up the GOP attendees at the show. They played almost none of their '90s hits, and Jenkins \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/07/20/third-eye-blind-trolls-gop-during-rnc.html?via=desktop&source=copyurl\" target=\"_blank\">taunted\u003c/a> the crowd with comments like, \"Raise your hand if you believe in science!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the stealth spectrum was the debut of Prophets of Rage, a supergroup featuring members of some more obviously political groups: Public Enemy's Chuck D, Rage Against the Machine's guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk, alongside B-Real from Cypress Hill. As the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>' Joe Coscarelli \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/21/arts/music/prophets-of-rage-bring-their-anger-to-the-republican-convention.html\" target=\"_blank\">pointed out\u003c/a>, they played for — and rallied beside — like-minded audiences in Ohio. He jotted down sketches of their time in Cleveland: \"Prophets of Rage, meanwhile, face an entirely friendly room eager to mosh and scream along to aggressive anti-establishment songs written two decades ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of the most interesting intersections of — and muddlings between — music and politics this week came out of the Trump campaign itself. One of the highest-profile moments at the convention this week actually seemed to carry certain musical resonances, even if none were intended. After the sections of Melania Trump's Tuesday evening speech that her husband's campaign now says \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/20/486758596/trump-speechwriter-accepts-responsibility-for-using-michelle-obamas-words\" target=\"_blank\">were taken\u003c/a> from Michelle Obama came words that seemed to be a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/04/13/135385998/rickrolled-or-how-one-politician-overcame-partisan-divide-to-pull-a-prank\" target=\"_blank\">Rickroll\u003c/a>: \"He will never, ever give up. And, most importantly,\" Mrs. Trump said, pausing just then to let her words fully sink in, \"He will never, ever let you down.\" Yesterday, CNBC reported that Rick Astley's now-immortal 1987 hit \"Never Gonna Give You Up\" has enjoyed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/21/rick-astleys-music-gets-boost-following-melania-trump-speech.html\" target=\"_blank\">19 percent surge\u003c/a> in Spotify streams since Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout his primary battles, Trump's campaign soundtrack has included recorded tracks that expressly seemed to be aimed at simply amping up the audience, like Adele, The Beatles, and Survivor's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/02/15/donald-trumps-campaign-soundtrack-a-grammy-day-playlist/\">Eye of the Tiger\u003c/a>.\" But Trump has also thrown in some curveballs that make it plain that at least somebody on that campaign has an ear for using music as theater. His playlist has often included a recording of Luciano Pavarotti singing the Puccinia aria \"\u003cem>Nessun Dorma\u003c/em>\" (None Shall Sleep) from the opera \u003cem>Turandot\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one case in which the lyrics actually do appear to reflect Trump's political intentions. \"Nessun Dorma\" ends with these words: \"\u003cem>All'alba vincerò! Vincerò, vincerò\u003c/em>! (\"At dawn, I will win! I will win, I will win!\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in case that high-culture song is a bit too coded, the Republican candidate's arrival in Cleveland on Wednesday was reportedly \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/07/20/trump-makes-grand-entrance-cleveland-complete-air-force-one-theme/87342334/\" target=\"_blank\">heralded\u003c/a> by a recording of Jerry Goldsmith's music for the 1997 flick \u003cem>Air Force One,\u003c/em> starring Harrison Ford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the balloons and confetti (eventually) began to rain down last night at the Quicken Loans arena, however, rock 'n' roll had the last word on Trump — or maybe exactly the inverse happened. The evening's last musical selection was the Rolling Stones' \"You Can't Always Get What You Want.\" Commenters on Twitter last night \u003ca href=\"http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/22/donald-trump-you-cant-always-get-what-you-want\" target=\"_blank\">made hay\u003c/a> of the seeming disconnects in meaning between the song and the convention's spectacle of unity. But Trump has long used that tune in particular as one of his campaign's anthems, despite the band's \u003ca href=\"http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/07/donald-trump-ends-his-rnc-speech-by-playing-rolling-stones-a-band-who-once-pulled-a-knife-on-him/\" target=\"_blank\">fury\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-rolling-stones-stop-music-election-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">request\u003c/a> the band sent to the GOP candidate's team earlier this year to stop using it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Trump campaign has explained exactly why \"You Can't Always Get What You Want\" has become such a staple selection at his events — at one rally in Carmel, Ind. back in May, for example, the song was played \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-rollingstones-idUSKCN0XV2ME\" target=\"_blank\">at least four times\u003c/a> at that single campaign stop. But in May, Trump himself responded to the Stones' request in a way that appeared to slough off any implications of the song's lyrics entirely: \"I like Mick Jagger. I like their songs,\" he \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wont-beast-burden-stones-donald-trump/story?id=38898665\" target=\"_blank\">told\u003c/a> CNBC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>'s website earlier this week, Amanda Petrusich published an \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-republican-partys-unrequited-love-of-rock-music\">essay\u003c/a> about some of those apparent paradoxes of meaning, along with some of the musicians she's encountered in Cleveland this week. \"In this particular context,\" she wrote — citing famous examples like \"Born in the U.S.A.\" and \"This Land Is Your Land\" — \"it doesn't matter if there's a staggering fissure between what a thing really means and what someone else wants it to mean. All that matters is that it sounds cool.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's response to the Stones bulwarks Petrusich's point. But it's also true that there's something of a bargain that artists — musicians, poets, painters, whatever — implicitly make when they put their work out into the world. They can create with whatever intention they want, but the receptors of that art — the public — are inevitably going to receive and interpret that output with their own filters, experiences and frameworks. There can be a big split between what is legally allowable and what makes artists happy. That is the deal. And once the creative work is public, others can assign whatever meaning they want to it— consciously or unconsciously, earnestly or cynically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And forever after, those works carry, in our communal memory, not just the artists' intentions about that output (correctly understood or not), but also the resonances of how that music is later used by others. Even if Richard Wagner had not been an anti-Semite himself (which he \u003ca href=\"http://www.dw.com/en/the-hateful-side-of-wagners-musical-genius/a-16850818\" target=\"_blank\">certainly was\u003c/a>), would most people be able to completely divorce his compositions from how they were loved by \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/08/arts/the-specter-of-hitler-in-the-music-of-wagner.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Hitler\u003c/a> and the other Nazis? A less loaded Wagner example: Can anyone today hear his \"Ride of the Valkyries\" without instantly flashing to \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKaYOW9zMoY\" target=\"_blank\">Apocalypse Now\u003c/a>\u003c/em>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artists can make their displeasure widely known, of course; it's easier today than it's ever been, and absolutely instantaneous thanks to social media. But as soon as musicians feel the need to publicly disassociate themselves from their own work, they are that much farther away from their creations. There's an intercessor, an interloper. After last night, will we ever be able to hear \"You Can't Always Get What You Want\" again without feeling a slight tug of a certain memory — not of Mick Jagger singing, but of Donald Trump shouting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

Among them was David Bowie's \"Station to Station,\" which \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/18/watch_the_rnc_house_band_sing_a_david_bowie_song_about_cocaine.html\" target=\"_blank\">includes\u003c/a> lines like \"It's not the side-effects of the cocaine/I'm thinking that it must be love/It's too late to be grateful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one of the band's picks on Wednesday was, according to \u003cem>Newsday, \u003c/em>a huge \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/samsanders/status/755908993319567360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">crowd favorite\u003c/a>: Neil Diamond's \"Sweet Caroline\" — a song which was, Diamond claimed \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/nov/21/usa.musicnews\" target=\"_blank\">in 2007\u003c/a>, written in honor of one very notable Democrat: Caroline Bouvier Kennedy — the current U.S. \u003ca href=\"http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/amb/tamb-bio.html\" target=\"_blank\">ambassador to Japan\u003c/a>. (Diamond \u003ca href=\"http://www.today.com/popculture/neil-diamond-reveals-sweet-caroline-secret-today-1D80228037\" target=\"_blank\">later said\u003c/a> that his cute back story was only partly true.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other artists were a little more directly confrontational with the delegates. Four years ago, singer Stephan Jenkins explained why his band, Third Eye Blind, turned down an invitation to play a private party during the Republican National Convention: \"They are in fact, a party dedicated to exclusion...If I came to their convention, I would \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephan-jenkins/third-eye-blind-rnc_b_1839576.html\" target=\"_blank\">Occupy\u003c/a> their convention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, however, Third Eye Blind, a band whose popularity was at its peak about 20 years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/07/20/third-eye-blind-trolls-rnc-party-comments-science-songs-not-semi-charmed-life/\" target=\"_blank\">morphed into a Trojan horse of anti-Republican sentiment\u003c/a> when they played a charity show at Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the apparent purpose of riling up the GOP attendees at the show. They played almost none of their '90s hits, and Jenkins \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/07/20/third-eye-blind-trolls-gop-during-rnc.html?via=desktop&source=copyurl\" target=\"_blank\">taunted\u003c/a> the crowd with comments like, \"Raise your hand if you believe in science!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the stealth spectrum was the debut of Prophets of Rage, a supergroup featuring members of some more obviously political groups: Public Enemy's Chuck D, Rage Against the Machine's guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk, alongside B-Real from Cypress Hill. As the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>' Joe Coscarelli \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/21/arts/music/prophets-of-rage-bring-their-anger-to-the-republican-convention.html\" target=\"_blank\">pointed out\u003c/a>, they played for — and rallied beside — like-minded audiences in Ohio. He jotted down sketches of their time in Cleveland: \"Prophets of Rage, meanwhile, face an entirely friendly room eager to mosh and scream along to aggressive anti-establishment songs written two decades ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of the most interesting intersections of — and muddlings between — music and politics this week came out of the Trump campaign itself. One of the highest-profile moments at the convention this week actually seemed to carry certain musical resonances, even if none were intended. After the sections of Melania Trump's Tuesday evening speech that her husband's campaign now says \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/20/486758596/trump-speechwriter-accepts-responsibility-for-using-michelle-obamas-words\" target=\"_blank\">were taken\u003c/a> from Michelle Obama came words that seemed to be a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/04/13/135385998/rickrolled-or-how-one-politician-overcame-partisan-divide-to-pull-a-prank\" target=\"_blank\">Rickroll\u003c/a>: \"He will never, ever give up. And, most importantly,\" Mrs. Trump said, pausing just then to let her words fully sink in, \"He will never, ever let you down.\" Yesterday, CNBC reported that Rick Astley's now-immortal 1987 hit \"Never Gonna Give You Up\" has enjoyed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/21/rick-astleys-music-gets-boost-following-melania-trump-speech.html\" target=\"_blank\">19 percent surge\u003c/a> in Spotify streams since Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout his primary battles, Trump's campaign soundtrack has included recorded tracks that expressly seemed to be aimed at simply amping up the audience, like Adele, The Beatles, and Survivor's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/02/15/donald-trumps-campaign-soundtrack-a-grammy-day-playlist/\">Eye of the Tiger\u003c/a>.\" But Trump has also thrown in some curveballs that make it plain that at least somebody on that campaign has an ear for using music as theater. His playlist has often included a recording of Luciano Pavarotti singing the Puccinia aria \"\u003cem>Nessun Dorma\u003c/em>\" (None Shall Sleep) from the opera \u003cem>Turandot\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one case in which the lyrics actually do appear to reflect Trump's political intentions. \"Nessun Dorma\" ends with these words: \"\u003cem>All'alba vincerò! Vincerò, vincerò\u003c/em>! (\"At dawn, I will win! I will win, I will win!\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in case that high-culture song is a bit too coded, the Republican candidate's arrival in Cleveland on Wednesday was reportedly \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/07/20/trump-makes-grand-entrance-cleveland-complete-air-force-one-theme/87342334/\" target=\"_blank\">heralded\u003c/a> by a recording of Jerry Goldsmith's music for the 1997 flick \u003cem>Air Force One,\u003c/em> starring Harrison Ford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the balloons and confetti (eventually) began to rain down last night at the Quicken Loans arena, however, rock 'n' roll had the last word on Trump — or maybe exactly the inverse happened. The evening's last musical selection was the Rolling Stones' \"You Can't Always Get What You Want.\" Commenters on Twitter last night \u003ca href=\"http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/22/donald-trump-you-cant-always-get-what-you-want\" target=\"_blank\">made hay\u003c/a> of the seeming disconnects in meaning between the song and the convention's spectacle of unity. But Trump has long used that tune in particular as one of his campaign's anthems, despite the band's \u003ca href=\"http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/07/donald-trump-ends-his-rnc-speech-by-playing-rolling-stones-a-band-who-once-pulled-a-knife-on-him/\" target=\"_blank\">fury\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-rolling-stones-stop-music-election-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">request\u003c/a> the band sent to the GOP candidate's team earlier this year to stop using it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Trump campaign has explained exactly why \"You Can't Always Get What You Want\" has become such a staple selection at his events — at one rally in Carmel, Ind. back in May, for example, the song was played \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-rollingstones-idUSKCN0XV2ME\" target=\"_blank\">at least four times\u003c/a> at that single campaign stop. But in May, Trump himself responded to the Stones' request in a way that appeared to slough off any implications of the song's lyrics entirely: \"I like Mick Jagger. I like their songs,\" he \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wont-beast-burden-stones-donald-trump/story?id=38898665\" target=\"_blank\">told\u003c/a> CNBC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>'s website earlier this week, Amanda Petrusich published an \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-republican-partys-unrequited-love-of-rock-music\">essay\u003c/a> about some of those apparent paradoxes of meaning, along with some of the musicians she's encountered in Cleveland this week. \"In this particular context,\" she wrote — citing famous examples like \"Born in the U.S.A.\" and \"This Land Is Your Land\" — \"it doesn't matter if there's a staggering fissure between what a thing really means and what someone else wants it to mean. All that matters is that it sounds cool.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's response to the Stones bulwarks Petrusich's point. But it's also true that there's something of a bargain that artists — musicians, poets, painters, whatever — implicitly make when they put their work out into the world. They can create with whatever intention they want, but the receptors of that art — the public — are inevitably going to receive and interpret that output with their own filters, experiences and frameworks. There can be a big split between what is legally allowable and what makes artists happy. That is the deal. And once the creative work is public, others can assign whatever meaning they want to it— consciously or unconsciously, earnestly or cynically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And forever after, those works carry, in our communal memory, not just the artists' intentions about that output (correctly understood or not), but also the resonances of how that music is later used by others. Even if Richard Wagner had not been an anti-Semite himself (which he \u003ca href=\"http://www.dw.com/en/the-hateful-side-of-wagners-musical-genius/a-16850818\" target=\"_blank\">certainly was\u003c/a>), would most people be able to completely divorce his compositions from how they were loved by \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/08/arts/the-specter-of-hitler-in-the-music-of-wagner.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Hitler\u003c/a> and the other Nazis? A less loaded Wagner example: Can anyone today hear his \"Ride of the Valkyries\" without instantly flashing to \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKaYOW9zMoY\" target=\"_blank\">Apocalypse Now\u003c/a>\u003c/em>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She’s touring now with some of her old band mates, behind \u003cem>Midnight\u003c/em>, her new solo album made with help from producer Eric Valentine. She says she wants her new work to show “growth and change and experimentation.” But it’s her musicianship (watch her play guitar and piano in the video above), and her graceful-yet-powerful voice that makes it all work.

She says she wants her new work to show “growth and change and experimentation.” But it’s her musicianship (watch her play guitar and piano in the video above), and her graceful-yet-powerful voice that makes it all work.

The festival outgrew its old home in S.F.’s Japantown, and now is at Fort Mason. Mika Anami is one of the organizers. “It’s a totally different culture,” she told me, “even though there’s a lot that we see in common.

What I got was a room full of nostalgic adults ready to go crazy to Taking Back Sunday, and dance like no one was watching. Moshing. Crowd-surfing. Grabbing strangers by the face and singing to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having recently expanded to the Bay Area from a similar weekly night in Los Angeles, Taking Back Tuesday is essentially one giant dance party wherein DJs play an assortment of nostalgic emo music — just so we emo kids can party like it’s 2005. But it's also more than that: It offers people ways to connect to their past, reassess their teen angst at a happier time in their lives, and make new friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's \u003cem>also\u003c/em> embroiled in a bit of controversy, as Taking Back Sunday frontman Adam Lazzara told Billboard in an interview published July 19 that he has\u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7439176/taking-back-sunday-tuesday-adam-lazarra-interview-emo-dj-night-los-angeles\" target=\"_blank\"> not-entirely-positive feelings about the tribute night\u003c/a>. But before the day's end, Lazzara posted\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BID1wxrjnYO/\" target=\"_blank\"> a note to Instagram with a clarification\u003c/a>, saying that his remarks were taken out of context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_30759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-30759\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Kai Schade, a first-time Taking Back Tuesday attendee.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kai Schade, a first-time Taking Back Tuesday attendee. \u003ccite>(Photo: Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the nuances of Lazzara's take, it's clear they've come to mean quite a bit to quite a few people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for me: I came out of the emo closet during my senior year of high school.

What I got was a room full of nostalgic adults ready to go crazy to Taking Back Sunday, and dance like no one was watching. Moshing. Crowd-surfing. Grabbing strangers by the face and singing to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having recently expanded to the Bay Area from a similar weekly night in Los Angeles, Taking Back Tuesday is essentially one giant dance party wherein DJs play an assortment of nostalgic emo music — just so we emo kids can party like it’s 2005. But it's also more than that: It offers people ways to connect to their past, reassess their teen angst at a happier time in their lives, and make new friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's \u003cem>also\u003c/em> embroiled in a bit of controversy, as Taking Back Sunday frontman Adam Lazzara told Billboard in an interview published July 19 that he has\u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7439176/taking-back-sunday-tuesday-adam-lazarra-interview-emo-dj-night-los-angeles\" target=\"_blank\"> not-entirely-positive feelings about the tribute night\u003c/a>. But before the day's end, Lazzara posted\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BID1wxrjnYO/\" target=\"_blank\"> a note to Instagram with a clarification\u003c/a>, saying that his remarks were taken out of context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_30759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-30759\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Kai Schade, a first-time Taking Back Tuesday attendee.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kai Schade, a first-time Taking Back Tuesday attendee. \u003ccite>(Photo: Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the nuances of Lazzara's take, it's clear they've come to mean quite a bit to quite a few people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for me: I came out of the emo closet during my senior year of high school. I quickly realized that emo music has two stigmas: first, that its fans are always sad, and second, that they don’t like to party.

"content": "\u003cp>There’s a mass tantrum underway on Twitter right now, and it's going by several names: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeMilo&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#FreeMilo\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeMiloNow&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#FreeMiloNow\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeNero&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#FreeNero\u003c/a> are just a few. (The grossest is \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeDaddy&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#FreeDaddy\u003c/a>.) Now, be forewarned -- what you’ll see will either make you laugh hysterically or seethe with rage, so prepare yourself before clicking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s happening on those hashtags is the result of Twitter booting conservative columnist and infamous troll Milo Yiannopoulos on from the social media site on July 18, apparently permanently. Yiannopoulos; his employer, the conservative website Breitbart News; and his thousands of fans -- his Twitter account @nero had over 330,000 followers -- have been on a rampage against the San Francisco-based company ever since his suspension was announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FromNoWhere97/status/755895171351351296\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has been a long time coming, no matter what his supporters say. Even other conservative columnists acknowledge that \"\u003ca href=\"http://thepoliticalinformer.com/freemilo/\" target=\"_blank\">Milo lives on confrontation\u003c/a>,\" and he's been fighting with Twitter for quite a while now. Just this year alone, Yiannopoulos lost the little blue checkmark that showed his account was \"verified\" -- he actually asked \u003ca href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/breitbart-editor-asks-white-house-twitter-badge-article-1.2553980\" target=\"_blank\">the White House press secretary\u003c/a> about how to get the check back -- and his account was suspended last month after he \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/06/16/milo-yiannopoulos%E2%80%99-twitter-account-suspended-reinstated-amidst-orlando-press-conference\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted a series of anti-Islam remarks\u003c/a> in the wake of the brutal massacre in Orlando.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the straw that broke the back of Twitter's tolerance came after he wrote \u003ca href=\"http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/07/18/milo-reviews-ghostbusters/\" target=\"_blank\">a scathing review\u003c/a> of the new \u003ci>Ghostbusters\u003c/i> movie and then proceeded to jump in on the attacks being levied at \u003ci>Ghostbusters\u003c/i> actress and \u003ci>SNL\u003c/i> fave Leslie Jones on Twitter. Some of what Yiannopoulos wrote in his review was offensive, such as describing Jones's work on the film as \"flat-as-a-pancake black stylings.\" But it was part of a massive wave of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/07/19/leslie-jones-quits-twitter-following-abuse-from-racist-trolls/\" target=\"_blank\">racist tweets directed at Jones\u003c/a> that resulted in her leaving Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_30811\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 546px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-30811\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/LEslie-Milo.png\" alt=\"One of the exchanges on Twitter between Leslie Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos\" width=\"546\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/LEslie-Milo.png 546w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/LEslie-Milo-400x343.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the exchanges on Twitter between Leslie Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since the beginning of this year, representatives from Twitter have said the company is\u003ca href=\"http://fusion.net/story/254067/milo-yiannopoulos-twitter-deverification/\" target=\"_blank\"> trying to find solutions\u003c/a> to the overwhelming amount of harassment that occurs on Twitter. And in many ways, Yiannopolous has been its test case. It stated as much to \u003ca href=\"http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/f70471f764144b2fab526d39972d37b3/Article_2016-07-20-US-TEC--Twitter-Leslie%20Jones%20Harassment/id-aec6e4ed6d3145eda9f7ce530de98b60\" target=\"_blank\">the Associated Press on Wednesday\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We know many people believe we have not done enough to curb this type of behavior on Twitter. We agree,\" Twitter said in an emailed statement following the Jones incident. \"We are continuing to invest heavily in improving our tools and enforcement systems to better allow us to identify and take faster action on abuse as it's happening and prevent repeat offenders.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But now that Yiannopoulos is gone, Twitter is seeing a repeat of something that basically happens every time the site has tried to reign him in. After the news of his permanent suspension was announced, Yiannopoulos announced at a \"Gays for Trump Rally\" that he was declaring war on Twitter, against a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i05eXluAQ18\" target=\"_blank\">somewhat distracting backdrop\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breitbart then went on the offensive, publishing \u003ca href=\"http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/07/20/double-standards-leslie-jones-racist-twitter-history/\" target=\"_blank\">multiple\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/07/20/leslie-jones-twitter-trolls-milo-yiannopoulos/\" target=\"_blank\">stories\u003c/a> declaring that Leslie Jones and others should be the ones who are banned (note: calling someone \"white\" is not being racist). And the army of trolls that supports #FreeMilo has been lighting up the Twitter-sphere with threats of leaving the site, harassment of its advertisers, and claims that Twitter suppresses conservative views but gives terrorists and potential murderers a pass (which is not true -- the site has been actively removing accounts \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/125000-isis-linked-accounts-suspended-by-twitter-a6857371.html\" target=\"_blank\">linked to terrorist organizations\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear, this is not a fight about free speech. Social media companies are private companies, not countries, and they're allowed to have consciences -- you could say Twitter's decision is like eBay banning the \u003ca href=\"http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/offensive.html\" target=\"_blank\">sale of WWII paraphernalia\u003c/a> that has a swastika on it. Twitter is fighting against hate speech, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/05/meet-milo-yiannopoulos-the-appealing-young-face-of-the-racist-alt-right.html\" target=\"_blank\">kind the Alt-Right embraces\u003c/a> , the kind that comprises the horrible harassment Jones endured. Twitter can't back down this time and let Milo sign up again, because that's exactly what he wants. He might say that being banned is \u003ca href=\"http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/la-et-ct-milo-yiannopoulos-ghostbusters-twitter-20160710-snap-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">the best thing that happened to him\u003c/a> -- he's a martyr, apparently -- but if he's willing to ask the president for help with his account, it must be pretty important to him. And if Twitter's treating him as a test case, it would look pretty damn bad on their end to seem soft here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Yiannopoulos, his supporters and Twitter should actually do is heed Milo's own advice, and look to the values \u003ca href=\"http://www.mediaite.com/online/in-2012-milo-yiannopoulos-argued-for-bolder-censure-and-the-banning-of-trolls-from-the-internet/\" target=\"_blank\">he ironically espoused himself back in 2012\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>So perhaps what’s needed now is a bolder form of censure after all, because the internet is not a universal human right. If people cannot be trusted to treat one another with respect, dignity and consideration, perhaps they deserve to have their online freedoms curtailed. For sure, the best we could ever hope for is a smattering of unpopular show trials. But if the internet, ubiquitous as it now is, proves too dangerous in the hands of the psychologically fragile, perhaps access to it ought to be restricted. We ban drunks from driving because they’re a danger to others. Isn’t it time we did the same to trolls?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Now, be forewarned -- what you’ll see will either make you laugh hysterically or seethe with rage, so prepare yourself before clicking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s happening on those hashtags is the result of Twitter booting conservative columnist and infamous troll Milo Yiannopoulos on from the social media site on July 18, apparently permanently. Yiannopoulos; his employer, the conservative website Breitbart News; and his thousands of fans -- his Twitter account @nero had over 330,000 followers -- have been on a rampage against the San Francisco-based company ever since his suspension was announced.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Just this year alone, Yiannopoulos lost the little blue checkmark that showed his account was \"verified\" -- he actually asked \u003ca href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/breitbart-editor-asks-white-house-twitter-badge-article-1.2553980\" target=\"_blank\">the White House press secretary\u003c/a> about how to get the check back -- and his account was suspended last month after he \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/06/16/milo-yiannopoulos%E2%80%99-twitter-account-suspended-reinstated-amidst-orlando-press-conference\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted a series of anti-Islam remarks\u003c/a> in the wake of the brutal massacre in Orlando.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the straw that broke the back of Twitter's tolerance came after he wrote \u003ca href=\"http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/07/18/milo-reviews-ghostbusters/\" target=\"_blank\">a scathing review\u003c/a> of the new \u003ci>Ghostbusters\u003c/i> movie and then proceeded to jump in on the attacks being levied at \u003ci>Ghostbusters\u003c/i> actress and \u003ci>SNL\u003c/i> fave Leslie Jones on Twitter. Some of what Yiannopoulos wrote in his review was offensive, such as describing Jones's work on the film as \"flat-as-a-pancake black stylings.\" But it was part of a massive wave of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/07/19/leslie-jones-quits-twitter-following-abuse-from-racist-trolls/\" target=\"_blank\">racist tweets directed at Jones\u003c/a> that resulted in her leaving Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_30811\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 546px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-30811\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/LEslie-Milo.png\" alt=\"One of the exchanges on Twitter between Leslie Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos\" width=\"546\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/LEslie-Milo.png 546w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/LEslie-Milo-400x343.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the exchanges on Twitter between Leslie Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since the beginning of this year, representatives from Twitter have said the company is\u003ca href=\"http://fusion.net/story/254067/milo-yiannopoulos-twitter-deverification/\" target=\"_blank\"> trying to find solutions\u003c/a> to the overwhelming amount of harassment that occurs on Twitter. And in many ways, Yiannopolous has been its test case. It stated as much to \u003ca href=\"http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/f70471f764144b2fab526d39972d37b3/Article_2016-07-20-US-TEC--Twitter-Leslie%20Jones%20Harassment/id-aec6e4ed6d3145eda9f7ce530de98b60\" target=\"_blank\">the Associated Press on Wednesday\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We know many people believe we have not done enough to curb this type of behavior on Twitter.

After the news of his permanent suspension was announced, Yiannopoulos announced at a \"Gays for Trump Rally\" that he was declaring war on Twitter, against a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i05eXluAQ18\" target=\"_blank\">somewhat distracting backdrop\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And the army of trolls that supports #FreeMilo has been lighting up the Twitter-sphere with threats of leaving the site, harassment of its advertisers, and claims that Twitter suppresses conservative views but gives terrorists and potential murderers a pass (which is not true -- the site has been actively removing accounts \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/125000-isis-linked-accounts-suspended-by-twitter-a6857371.html\" target=\"_blank\">linked to terrorist organizations\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear, this is not a fight about free speech. Social media companies are private companies, not countries, and they're allowed to have consciences -- you could say Twitter's decision is like eBay banning the \u003ca href=\"http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/offensive.html\" target=\"_blank\">sale of WWII paraphernalia\u003c/a> that has a swastika on it. Twitter is fighting against hate speech, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/05/meet-milo-yiannopoulos-the-appealing-young-face-of-the-racist-alt-right.html\" target=\"_blank\">kind the Alt-Right embraces\u003c/a> , the kind that comprises the horrible harassment Jones endured. Twitter can't back down this time and let Milo sign up again, because that's exactly what he wants. He might say that being banned is \u003ca href=\"http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/la-et-ct-milo-yiannopoulos-ghostbusters-twitter-20160710-snap-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">the best thing that happened to him\u003c/a> -- he's a martyr, apparently -- but if he's willing to ask the president for help with his account, it must be pretty important to him. And if Twitter's treating him as a test case, it would look pretty damn bad on their end to seem soft here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Yiannopoulos, his supporters and Twitter should actually do is heed Milo's own advice, and look to the values \u003ca href=\"http://www.mediaite.com/online/in-2012-milo-yiannopoulos-argued-for-bolder-censure-and-the-banning-of-trolls-from-the-internet/\" target=\"_blank\">he ironically espoused himself back in 2012\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>So perhaps what’s needed now is a bolder form of censure after all, because the internet is not a universal human right. If people cannot be trusted to treat one another with respect, dignity and consideration, perhaps they deserve to have their online freedoms curtailed. For sure, the best we could ever hope for is a smattering of unpopular show trials. But if the internet, ubiquitous as it now is, proves too dangerous in the hands of the psychologically fragile, perhaps access to it ought to be restricted. We ban drunks from driving because they’re a danger to others. Isn’t it time we did the same to trolls?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
