It’s a difficult task, getting a crowd out on a Monday night in Ottawa. Especially when it’s a freezing rain kind of night. As I arrived at Barrymore’s on an especially miserable winter evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Ottawa was pumped and ready to party on a school night.
Instruments of Change: An Editorial About Why You Can Always Sit With Me And Why I Will Always Sing For You
The times may be a’ changing, but not quite fast enough.
Before Green Day won Grammies for singing of an American idiot, and Rage Against the Machine urged us to take the power back, The Clash wrote intricate songs about isolation, poverty, utilitarianism, and cultural upheaval. Before Bob Dylan won a Nobel Prize for Literature, his songs were recited and replayed over and over at picket lines across the United States when citizens took to the streets to protest the Vietnam War. Before Dr. Dre was selling his headphones to Apple and being treated like hip hop’s elder statesman and Ice Cube was making movies about barbershops and Jump Street, the “Niggaz With Attitude” were challenging police corruption and slapping us unapologetic-ally with a lyrical portrait of their realities in South Central, Los Angeles.
Dolly Parton, Pure & Simple
We had a chance to catch up with the amazing Dolly Parton last week to talk about her 43rd studio album Pure & Simple which was released August 19th. One of the comments that Dolly made during the chat was how this album really was really stripped down and as the title states Pure & Simple. If you haven’t heard the album yet we can tell you that this is vintage Dolly Parton.
