"content": "\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"vAbYhEz2zNrpSPyjgcQcKVJYY8r0Rk3Q\"]In the world of interesting-but-creepy news, Will Brooker, a professor of cultural studies at England’s Kingston University \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/british-professor-is-ch-ch-changing-into-david-bowie_55d4d64be4b0ab468d9f7fb6\" target=\"_blank\">recently announced\u003c/a> that he is spending the year dressing and acting like David Bowie for his research. For each stage of Bowie’s music career -- starting from his first garage groups in the late ‘60s all the way through to present day -- Brooker has been wearing recreations of Bowie’s wild and constantly changing wardrobe, following an approximation of Bowie's diet (red peppers and milk) and even moving to areas around England that Bowie lived in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeCMr_x06ts\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a little hard to believe that such an experiment exists or is needed, but he’s been commissioned to write an account of his research, so that means somebody wants to know. Then again, who wouldn’t want to know what it’s like to be the guy that created Ziggy Stardust?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no debate: Bowie is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. So great that, in 1997, he sold “Bowie bonds” to those who wanted to profit from his music. (When he went public with his publishing royalties that year, he made $50 million.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also married to the model Iman, continues to make great music and doesn’t need to talk to the press to sell his albums. But it hasn’t always been easy for Bowie; there have been quite a few moments in his life that he probably doesn’t wish on his worst enemies. Here are some of them that Prof. Brooker should consider before taking on a task as mammoth as living as Bowie:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>1.

He was not born this way. When he was 14, he was in a fight with his friend George Underwood over a girl and Underwood was so mad at Bowie (then David Jones) he punched him in the face, right in his left eye. Underwood sliced Bowie's peeper, possibly with a ring he was wearing, and Bowie's injury was so bad that doctors thought he would be blind in that eye. After being hospitalized for four months and undergoing a series of operations, Bowie’s eyesight was saved but his pupil is permanently dilated and he has depth perception issues. As for Underwood, he's still friends with Bowie and even designed the covers of Bowie's earliest albums.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>2. Admitting he was gay hurt his career so much he denied it just a few years later\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17701\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-17701 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/David-Bowie-Imam-800x580.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/David-Bowie-Imam-800x580.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/David-Bowie-Imam-400x290.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/David-Bowie-Imam-1440x1044.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/David-Bowie-Imam-1920x1393.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/David-Bowie-Imam-1180x856.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/David-Bowie-Imam-960x696.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Musician David Bowie and supermodel Iman attend the DKMS' 5th Annual Gala: Linked Against Leukemia honoring Rihanna & Michael Clinton hosted by Katharina Harf at Cipriani Wall Street on April 28, 2011 in New York City. \u003ccite>(Photo by Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images for DKMS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In 1972, while being interviewed for an article in \u003cem>Melody Maker\u003c/em>, Bowie admitted to the reporter that he was gay. He was just starting to dress as “Ziggy Stardust” and the revelation -- “I’m gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones” -- brought him a lot of media attention. Laws banning homosexuality in England had been reformed just five years before and Bowie’s coming out was socially equivalent to Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the news helped him reach star status in England, when he toured the United States for the \u003cem>Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust\u003c/em>, he played to several half-filled theaters. Americans had gotten word of Bowie’s revelation and, except for a bunch of cool music lovers on the coasts, didn’t want to have anything to do with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1976, Bowie was still standing by his declaration that he was “bisexual” and that it was \"the best thing that ever happened\" to him (around this time he had a relationship with Mick Jagger, according to ex-wife Angie Bowie). But by 1983, Bowie was hoping to take the U.S. by storm with his album \u003ci>Let's Dance\u003c/i> and started backtracking on his claims. In an interview with \u003ci>Rolling Stone\u003c/i> that same year, he stated that publicly declaring his bisexuality was \"the biggest mistake [he] ever made\" and that he \"was always a closet heterosexual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2002 interview with \u003ci>Blender\u003c/i>, he was asked whether or not his coming out was still his biggest mistake. \"I don't think it was a mistake in Europe, but it was a lot tougher in America,\" later adding \"I felt that bisexuality became my headline over here for so long. America is a very puritanical place, and I think it stood in the way of so much I wanted to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>3. He did a scary amount of cocaine\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2yLbxW4k-w\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mid '70s, Bowie had a new persona: The Thin White Duke. It was an apt description of his look at that time, since he wore a lot of regal, immaculately tailored suits and was emaciated from his extreme cocaine habit (watch the video above for lots of fidgeting and sniffing). Bowie was in the studio around the clock, cranking out hit after hit — he wrote \"Fame\" in 45 minutes during this time — \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/11/15/mountains-of-cocaine-played-a-crucial-role-in-bowies-success/\" target=\"_blank\">and booger sugar fueled a lot of those longer sessions\u003c/a>. He also did a lot of crazy stuff that someone with a drug problem would do, the best example being the time he, with \u003ca href=\"http://dangerousminds.net/comments/mysterious_white_witch_who_exorcised_david_bowie\" target=\"_blank\">help from a white witch\u003c/a>, tried exorcising his pool of demons while high on blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He moved to Switzerland in 1976, where he supposedly dumped his habit and concentrated on other pursuits like painting. He would later tell producer Nile Rodgers that he doesn't remember entire years of his life during his drug days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Side note: Brooker has said that for his research, he won't be doing the heavy amount of cocaine that Bowie did. Not only is it unhealthy, but he also couldn't afford such a habit on an academic's salary, according to the \u003cem>Guardian\u003c/em>. Instead he drank an entire six-pack of energy drinks. “It made me very jumpy,” he said.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>4. A newspaper circulated a picture that made him look like a Nazi\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17724 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/NME.jpeg\" alt=\"NME\" width=\"569\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/NME.jpeg 569w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/NME-400x562.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a weird one to explain and, in hindsight, he was kind of asking for it. During his Thin White Duke days, Bowie said in an interview that \"Britain could benefit from a fascist leader.\" He was later caught at the Russian/Poland border with Nazi propaganda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With rumors of his love for fascism stoked in the media, the New Musical Express then took a photo of Bowie at London's Victoria Station waving farewell to fans from a Mercedes before jumping on a train. The paper ran the photo with the headline \"Heil And Farewell\" and accused him of giving a Nazi salute. Bowie always denied the claim and there are pictures of him in that moment where \u003ca href=\"http://flashbak.com/1976-david-bowies-nazi-salute-and-eric-claptons-wogs-created-rock-against-racism-5645/\" target=\"_blank\">he looks like he's waving\u003c/a>. Bowie later admitted that he was out of his mind when he made those comments about fascism.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>5. A concertgoer threw a lollipop at his bad eye\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17726 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/david-bowie-lollipop-eye-320.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"david-bowie-lollipop-eye-320.thumbnail\" width=\"478\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/david-bowie-lollipop-eye-320.thumbnail.jpg 478w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/david-bowie-lollipop-eye-320.thumbnail-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Norway, a lollipop is referred to as \"love on a stick.\" Someone tried to pass on the love to Bowie during a festival in Oslo a few years ago and instead it smacked him right in the eye, causing him to stop playing. After he recovered, he was in a huff and demanded to know who did it, but no one came forward. Once he regained his composure, he told the crowd he was going to punish the culprit by playing an extra-long set.

For each stage of Bowie’s music career -- starting from his first garage groups in the late ‘60s all the way through to present day -- Brooker has been wearing recreations of Bowie’s wild and constantly changing wardrobe, following an approximation of Bowie's diet (red peppers and milk) and even moving to areas around England that Bowie lived in.\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/EeCMr_x06ts'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/EeCMr_x06ts'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>It’s a little hard to believe that such an experiment exists or is needed, but he’s been commissioned to write an account of his research, so that means somebody wants to know. Then again, who wouldn’t want to know what it’s like to be the guy that created Ziggy Stardust?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no debate: Bowie is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. So great that, in 1997, he sold “Bowie bonds” to those who wanted to profit from his music. (When he went public with his publishing royalties that year, he made $50 million.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also married to the model Iman, continues to make great music and doesn’t need to talk to the press to sell his albums. But it hasn’t always been easy for Bowie; there have been quite a few moments in his life that he probably doesn’t wish on his worst enemies. Here are some of them that Prof. Brooker should consider before taking on a task as mammoth as living as Bowie:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>1.

He was not born this way. When he was 14, he was in a fight with his friend George Underwood over a girl and Underwood was so mad at Bowie (then David Jones) he punched him in the face, right in his left eye. Underwood sliced Bowie's peeper, possibly with a ring he was wearing, and Bowie's injury was so bad that doctors thought he would be blind in that eye. After being hospitalized for four months and undergoing a series of operations, Bowie’s eyesight was saved but his pupil is permanently dilated and he has depth perception issues. As for Underwood, he's still friends with Bowie and even designed the covers of Bowie's earliest albums.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>2.

Americans had gotten word of Bowie’s revelation and, except for a bunch of cool music lovers on the coasts, didn’t want to have anything to do with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1976, Bowie was still standing by his declaration that he was “bisexual” and that it was \"the best thing that ever happened\" to him (around this time he had a relationship with Mick Jagger, according to ex-wife Angie Bowie). But by 1983, Bowie was hoping to take the U.S. by storm with his album \u003ci>Let's Dance\u003c/i> and started backtracking on his claims. In an interview with \u003ci>Rolling Stone\u003c/i> that same year, he stated that publicly declaring his bisexuality was \"the biggest mistake [he] ever made\" and that he \"was always a closet heterosexual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2002 interview with \u003ci>Blender\u003c/i>, he was asked whether or not his coming out was still his biggest mistake. \"I don't think it was a mistake in Europe, but it was a lot tougher in America,\" later adding \"I felt that bisexuality became my headline over here for so long. America is a very puritanical place, and I think it stood in the way of so much I wanted to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>3.

It was an apt description of his look at that time, since he wore a lot of regal, immaculately tailored suits and was emaciated from his extreme cocaine habit (watch the video above for lots of fidgeting and sniffing). Bowie was in the studio around the clock, cranking out hit after hit — he wrote \"Fame\" in 45 minutes during this time — \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/11/15/mountains-of-cocaine-played-a-crucial-role-in-bowies-success/\" target=\"_blank\">and booger sugar fueled a lot of those longer sessions\u003c/a>. He also did a lot of crazy stuff that someone with a drug problem would do, the best example being the time he, with \u003ca href=\"http://dangerousminds.net/comments/mysterious_white_witch_who_exorcised_david_bowie\" target=\"_blank\">help from a white witch\u003c/a>, tried exorcising his pool of demons while high on blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He moved to Switzerland in 1976, where he supposedly dumped his habit and concentrated on other pursuits like painting. He would later tell producer Nile Rodgers that he doesn't remember entire years of his life during his drug days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Side note: Brooker has said that for his research, he won't be doing the heavy amount of cocaine that Bowie did. Not only is it unhealthy, but he also couldn't afford such a habit on an academic's salary, according to the \u003cem>Guardian\u003c/em>. Instead he drank an entire six-pack of energy drinks. “It made me very jumpy,” he said.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>4.

During his Thin White Duke days, Bowie said in an interview that \"Britain could benefit from a fascist leader.\" He was later caught at the Russian/Poland border with Nazi propaganda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With rumors of his love for fascism stoked in the media, the New Musical Express then took a photo of Bowie at London's Victoria Station waving farewell to fans from a Mercedes before jumping on a train. The paper ran the photo with the headline \"Heil And Farewell\" and accused him of giving a Nazi salute. Bowie always denied the claim and there are pictures of him in that moment where \u003ca href=\"http://flashbak.com/1976-david-bowies-nazi-salute-and-eric-claptons-wogs-created-rock-against-racism-5645/\" target=\"_blank\">he looks like he's waving\u003c/a>. Bowie later admitted that he was out of his mind when he made those comments about fascism.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>5.

After he recovered, he was in a huff and demanded to know who did it, but no one came forward. Once he regained his composure, he told the crowd he was going to punish the culprit by playing an extra-long set. He played 27 songs over two hours in what Norwegian media would \u003ca href=\"http://www.today.com/id/5269717/ns/today-today_entertainment/t/david-bowie-hit-eye-lollipop-concert/#.VdWbSVNViko\" target=\"_blank\">call one of his best concerts ever\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>6.

You should have been there! But in case you weren't, here's a play-by-play of what it was like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6pm:\u003c/strong> The second obstacle standing between you and Taylor presents itself (the first being the exorbitant price of the ticket). You must park on an uneven, spongy golf course and then locate golf-cart-riding attendants to procure a plastic bag for your belongings (only clutches and approved NFL bags are allowed inside the stadium). Girls in stilettos also face the added challenge of getting their heels stuck in the ground over and over again, while trekking a mile or so to the stadium entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30p:\u003c/strong> The walk turns out to be kind of meditative: a giddy, buzzing procession of mostly teens and their moms. There are also a few dads in the mix. Most of them look uneasy. You smile at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:45p:\u003c/strong> Security is a cinch because all your stuff is in a clear plastic bag that's already ripping at the handle. You are handed a cool bracelet that will light up with the beats of Taylor's music. You are told not to pull the tab until Taylor says so. You wouldn't dream of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7p:\u003c/strong> Shawn Mendes takes the stage. He has nice teeth and a Justin Bieber vibe about him. The youths seem to know his music. Or maybe they just like his face? You and your friend discuss his age and whether he is Taylor's type. You decide on 20 and that he's not Taylor's type anymore now that she's dating a man.

Two girls, dressed in scrubs, hold signs with lyrics from \"Out of the Woods\" on them: \"Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? 20 stitches in the hospital room.\" A girl in black lace holds one half of a lyric (\"I'm a nightmare...\"), while her friend, dressed like an angel, completes the line (\"...dressed like a daydream\").

You're sitting between an excited girl named Missy and a glum older woman. Missy was at the show last night and has all the details. She is wearing two light-up bracelets, one from last night and the fresh one. You and your friend talk to her about who you hope the special guest is (Selena Gomez or Nicki Minaj) and about how many cats her sister has and about who each of you thinks Rory Gilmore should have ended up with (Jess, obviously).

They're fun, but they're no Nicki Minaj.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:28p:\u003c/strong> Time for another motivational speech. This time, even though it's obviously rehearsed, it hits a nerve. She says, \"You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged goods. You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you. You are wiser because you went through something terrible.

Yay for unrealistic depictions of love!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:34p:\u003c/strong> Fireworks outside of the stadium interrupt her acoustic song.

Nicki, are you here after all?! Nope. But Julia Roberts and Joan Baez are. A collective WTF sweeps the stadium. Julia Roberts does not want to dance. Joan Baez is down though.

Nothing makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:49p:\u003c/strong> Taylor's talented backup singers get a more prominent stage presence during \"This Love.\" You make a mental note to watch \u003cem>Twenty Feet from Stardom\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:57p:\u003c/strong> \"Bad Blood\" comes on and you alternate between singing along and wishing Taylor had never said it was about Katy Perry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:58p: \u003c/strong>Formerly glum neighbor is now feeling herself, fist pumping and wooping it up.

You should have been there! But in case you weren't, here's a play-by-play of what it was like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6pm:\u003c/strong> The second obstacle standing between you and Taylor presents itself (the first being the exorbitant price of the ticket). You must park on an uneven, spongy golf course and then locate golf-cart-riding attendants to procure a plastic bag for your belongings (only clutches and approved NFL bags are allowed inside the stadium). Girls in stilettos also face the added challenge of getting their heels stuck in the ground over and over again, while trekking a mile or so to the stadium entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30p:\u003c/strong> The walk turns out to be kind of meditative: a giddy, buzzing procession of mostly teens and their moms. There are also a few dads in the mix. Most of them look uneasy. You smile at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:45p:\u003c/strong> Security is a cinch because all your stuff is in a clear plastic bag that's already ripping at the handle. You are handed a cool bracelet that will light up with the beats of Taylor's music. You are told not to pull the tab until Taylor says so. You wouldn't dream of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7p:\u003c/strong> Shawn Mendes takes the stage. He has nice teeth and a Justin Bieber vibe about him. The youths seem to know his music. Or maybe they just like his face? You and your friend discuss his age and whether he is Taylor's type. You decide on 20 and that he's not Taylor's type anymore now that she's dating a man. After the show, you look Mendes up and find out he's actually 17. You feel very, very old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Last week, Mariah received her long-overdue Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Why does she deserve it? Oh, maybe because she wrote every song she's released (minus the covers), has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, holds the title for most weeks at #1 (16) and has had 18 #1 singles (only the Beatles have more at 20). I could go on, but this post is already going to be super long so I won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What better way to show appreciation for 25 years worth of artistic output than to watch every music video Mariah has produced (minus remixes and feature spots on other people's songs because I have to eventually get back to my life)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took me two weeks, but I made it. Some takeaways: Mariah loves small animals, Christmas, singing in the rain, journaling, picking up children, getting revenge, playing evil brunettes, gesturing with her fingers, waving at the camera, and crying single tears for dramatic purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following is a ranking from worst to best, based on a not-so-scientific formula that factors in storyline, aesthetic and whether the video inspires me to throw up praise hands or not.

Oh, maybe because she wrote every song she's released (minus the covers), has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, holds the title for most weeks at #1 (16) and has had 18 #1 singles (only the Beatles have more at 20). I could go on, but this post is already going to be super long so I won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What better way to show appreciation for 25 years worth of artistic output than to watch every music video Mariah has produced (minus remixes and feature spots on other people's songs because I have to eventually get back to my life)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took me two weeks, but I made it. Some takeaways: Mariah loves small animals, Christmas, singing in the rain, journaling, picking up children, getting revenge, playing evil brunettes, gesturing with her fingers, waving at the camera, and crying single tears for dramatic purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following is a ranking from worst to best, based on a not-so-scientific formula that factors in storyline, aesthetic and whether the video inspires me to throw up praise hands or not. This is not a judgment on the songs themselves so save your tweets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Note:\u003c/strong> Some computers just couldn't handle all this Mariah so look for page numbers at the bottom of the post to navigate through Mariah's career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We miss that era of innocence and try to bring it back to life by \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/05/14/why-the-craft-remake-is-bad-news-for-the-future-of-film/\" target=\"_blank\">adapting classic movies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/23/5-reasons-why-adapting-reality-bites-is-a-terrible-idea-winona-ryder-ben-stiller/\" target=\"_blank\">TV shows\u003c/a> and forcing beloved musical groups to reunite. One of the groups that gets hounded most is the Spice Girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have, on several occasions, heard our call and given us what we wanted, what we really, really wanted. They most recently reunited for the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. They also collaborated on a West End musical called \u003cem>Viva Forever\u003c/em>. And then there was their glorious 2007 reunion tour, the first time the girls toured as a five-piece in America (you know, 'cause Geri bailed on them in 1998 without warning #notoveritandneverwillbe).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PArTdhNda7k\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the girls made it to California eight years ago, I flew down to LA to see them, not because they weren't playing a show much closer in San Jose, but because the historic moment felt like it deserved some sort of pilgrimage. I'm not even kidding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My love for the Spice Girls has spanned 20 years, at this point. The greatest love of all might be the one you have with yourself (R.I.P. Whitney), but the second greatest love of all, for me, could very well be the one I have for the Spice Girls and everything they represent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's so great about some cheesy girl group from forever ago? Basically everything, but since you probably want some specifics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Spice Girls were all about owning who you are and reveling in it. Their fun, catchy pop was full of positive affirmations and sometimes served as a vehicle for escape, at least it was for me, a gay kid growing up in a conservative Greek space that adheres to strict gender roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Spice Girls also introduced me and a lot of other young fans to feminism.

Over 100,000 people will trample their way through Golden Gate Park’s polo fields for the 8th annual \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/\">Outside Lands\u003c/a>. And while the most important thing to do is \u003cdel>wear the cutest outfit possible!\u003c/del> enjoy the music, here’s a list of dos and don’ts to help you make the most of your weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DO Wear Layers \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Outside Lands is just like Coachella, if you replace blistering heat and shirtless bros with smothering fog and fully clothed tech bros. As is the case with any outdoor activity in San Francisco, it’s essential to wear layers. While you may get greeted by the sun upon arrival, odds are the fog will blanket the venue by 5pm, leaving hordes of confused out-of-towners wondering what month it is. Don’t be a confused tourist! Wear layers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DON’T\u003c/b> \u003cb>Party Too Hard and Miss Your Favorite Band\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Many people like to party before they even get to Outside Lands. Others go too hard in the first few hours that they’re there. What all these people seem to forget is that the music doesn’t stop 'til around 10pm, so pace yourself, lest you black out during the headlining sets you paid good money to see. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DO Figure Out How You’re Getting Home\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">You can take Muni to Outside Lands and get there quickly, but good luck getting home. As thousands of haggard zombies make their way out of the park, mayhem ensues. Muni lines leaving the park will be packed, but here’s an idea: Take a less crowded bus toward the ocean instead. Eventually it will turn around and you’ll actually have a seat. Another option: Take the South exit out of the festival, even if you’re trying to go north. Lincoln always seems less crowded than Fulton, so try walking up to Judah to take the N, or if you’re lucky, score an Uber or Lyft (but watch out for ridiculous surge pricing). \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DON'T Expect Perfection \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Like most things in San Francisco, Outside Lands is far from perfect. But that’s okay, as long as you go in with the right expectations. In 2008, a train of fog nearly derailed Radiohead’s headlining set. And it’s pretty much a given that a few bands will arrive late, play truncated sets, or in some cases, \u003ca href=\"http://www.stereogum.com/1697598/chvrches-cancel-outside-lands-set-due-to-border-crossing-trouble/news/\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">not show up at all\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. The sound isn’t always great either, especially when you watch from the sides. But, if you plant yourself near a speaker, things should be alright. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DO Bring Water \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">You’re allowed to bring two factory-sealed water bottles (up to 1 liter each) through the gates. Save your money and spend it on better things, like… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>Craft Beer! \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Charging $10 for a Bud Light at a baseball game is larceny. Downing a nice craft beer while listening to great music is far more enjoyable. Over two dozen local breweries are represented at this year’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/beer-lands\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">Beer Lands\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. You’ll pay as much for one beer as you would a six-pack from the store, but at least it’ll taste good. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DON’T\u003c/b> \u003cb>Go With A Big Group \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">You will get lost. Hell, if you go with more than four people, you’ll likely get split up at some point during the day, only to realize your cellphones don’t really work, it’s suddenly 55 degrees out, and you left your jacket in Sarah’s backpack. It’s way more practical to go with a small group of close friends and meet up with people once you’re there, that way you can have a blast and not feel obligated to keep up with the pack. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DO Stumble Through McLaren Pass\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Sort of in the middle of everything but also incredibly easy to miss, McLaren Pass is home to carnies, chocolate, and GastroMagic. The latter is an underrated stage where chefs and audience members interact in a bizarre medley of sights, smells, and food demos. Last year, Brenda’s French Soul Food offered free beignets to anyone who twerked. You can check out this year’s lineup \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/gastromagic\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">here\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DON’T Bring A Selfie Stick \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Just don’t. Technically \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/festival-info/entry\">they’re allowed\u003c/a>, but that doesn’t mean you should have one. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DO Find The Shortest Porta Potty Lines \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">There are a lot of Porta Pottys at Outside Lands. There are also a lot of Porta Potty lines. Less trafficked bathroom spots include: The tree-covered Porta Pottys on your right, if you’re walking toward Twin Peaks Stage from Lands End Stage, and the ones tucked behind McLaren Pass if you’re headed toward Sutro Stage. Memorize all the tiny blue squares on \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/sites/default/files/content-files/files/OL14_FestivalMap.pdf\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">this map\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. Your bladder will thank you later. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>DON’T Endlessly Hop Between Stages \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The dilemma: Two bands you’re dying to see are playing at the same time. Do you watch one for 20 minutes then walk over to the other stage to see the second artist finish? No, because walking between stages takes a while, and if Cara suddenly has to pee, or your best friend from middle school appears out of nowhere and starts petting you, it could take even longer. Outside Lands isn’t a contest. You’re not on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBvOb6dO7G0\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">Supermarket Sweep\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. So resist the urge to fill your proverbial shopping cart with as many \u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">bands as possible, and just relax and enjoy the show. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Do you watch one for 20 minutes then walk over to the other stage to see the second artist finish? No, because walking between stages takes a while, and if Cara suddenly has to pee, or your best friend from middle school appears out of nowhere and starts petting you, it could take even longer. Outside Lands isn’t a contest. You’re not on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBvOb6dO7G0\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">Supermarket Sweep\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.

Photo: The Winehouse family\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>1. Amy is so defined by London, but she was almost an American! Her ancestor, Harris Winehouse, emigrated from Minsk, Belarus to London in 1890, and was soon followed by his family. The only problem? He meant to go to New York. Oops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Amy's grandmother, Cynthia, was a bad ass. She believed herself to be a medium and taught Amy how to read tarot cards. \"Nan\" also held a grudge (\u003cem>broyges\u003c/em> in Yiddish) against Amy's brother for not saying hello to her when he was eight. That's one way to teach the youth to respect their elders!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Amy loved \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/16/the-smiths-and-charlie-brown-a-match-made-in-miserable-heaven/\" target=\"_blank\">Snoopy\u003c/a> growing up and well into adulthood. She collected any books featuring the cartoon pup that she could get her hands on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Amy always wanted to live in Camden, a hip neighborhood in London. When she was old enough, she got a job selling candles at the market there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Amy was an OK cook, but made a mean meatball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. She was essentially expelled from two different schools. During a class at Sylvia Young Theatre School, she decided it was a good time as any to pierce her ears with a drawing pin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Her music collection was wide-ranging. There are artists you would expect: Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Louis Armstrong. And some you might not: Adam Sandler, Mickey Mouse Club, Marilyn Monroe, Beck and George Michael.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. Her brother says that Amy was insecure about how intelligent she was. She would leave Jackie Collins novels out, while hiding books by Dostoyevsky. She was also obsessed with word puzzles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-17237\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-800x510.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Ian Lillicrapp / Jewish Museum London\" width=\"800\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-800x510.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-400x255.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1440x919.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1400x893.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1180x753.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-960x613.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ian Lillicrapp / Jewish Museum London\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>9. Don't let the omnipresent ballet flats fool you. Amy loved shoes in a Carrie Bradshaw kind of way. The exhibit showcases heels by the high-fashion likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin, Fendi, Ferragamo, and Miu Miu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Speaking of Ms. Bradshaw, Amy loved \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, if her DVD/VHS collection (seen in this close-up below) is any indication. Other favorite shows and movies include \u003cem>Will & Grace\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Jackass The Movie\u003c/em>, \u003cem>MTV Yoga\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Beaches\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Tootsie\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Ghost World\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Craft\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Birdcage\u003c/em>, and all the Audrey Hepburn movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17241\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg\" alt=\"amy-winehouse-dvd-collection\" width=\"621\" height=\"1485\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg 621w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection-400x957.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11. The most interesting part of the exhibit for me was the tracklist from Amy's \"Songs on my Chill-Out Tape.\" Anyone who has made a mix for a crush knows how soul-revealing the medium can be. Seeing the school uniform she wore, the records she touched and her collection of designer shoes is all personal, but this artifact, written in \u003ca href=\"http://i3.cdnds.net/12/29/amy_list.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">her own bubbly handwriting\u003c/a> really projects Amy's humanity and personal taste.

Carole King's \"So Far Away,\" a favorite song of Amy's which makes an appearance as the penultimate track on her mix, was played at her funeral. *fights to hold in sob*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thecjm.org/on-view/upcoming/amy-winehouse-a-family-portrait/about\" target=\"_blank\">Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait\u003c/a>\u003c/em> opens today and runs through November 1, 2015 at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco.

Don't let the omnipresent ballet flats fool you. Amy loved shoes in a Carrie Bradshaw kind of way. The exhibit showcases heels by the high-fashion likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin, Fendi, Ferragamo, and Miu Miu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Speaking of Ms. Bradshaw, Amy loved \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, if her DVD/VHS collection (seen in this close-up below) is any indication. Other favorite shows and movies include \u003cem>Will & Grace\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Jackass The Movie\u003c/em>, \u003cem>MTV Yoga\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Beaches\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Tootsie\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Ghost World\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Craft\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Birdcage\u003c/em>, and all the Audrey Hepburn movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17241\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg\" alt=\"amy-winehouse-dvd-collection\" width=\"621\" height=\"1485\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg 621w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection-400x957.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11. The most interesting part of the exhibit for me was the tracklist from Amy's \"Songs on my Chill-Out Tape.\" Anyone who has made a mix for a crush knows how soul-revealing the medium can be. Seeing the school uniform she wore, the records she touched and her collection of designer shoes is all personal, but this artifact, written in \u003ca href=\"http://i3.cdnds.net/12/29/amy_list.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">her own bubbly handwriting\u003c/a> really projects Amy's humanity and personal taste.

But she failed to notice the racial component of Nicki's message because that's not something that Taylor knows a lot about. She doesn't know what it's like to have her skin color dictate who will meet with her, sign her to a label, play her records, give her awards, etc. It's just not on her radar. Just like feminism wasn't on her radar back when she insisted that she wasn't someone who thought of \"things as guys versus girls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is that these are the kind of situations that help us grow. Taylor missed the point because of her white privilege. She knows that now and will hopefully mature and learn more about race and a host of other things that aren't part of her lived experience.
