Deep Rivers, Souls, and the Enduring Artistic Challenge: A Reflection on Paul Robeson

Deep Rivers, Souls, and the Enduring Artistic Challenge: A Reflection on Paul Robeson | the Mod Generation weekly | Scoop.it
I never had a chance to meet either of my grandfathers in person. But I have grown to know and love them through the stories that have been passed down to me over the years. In many ways I feel deeply connected to both of them. Like my mother's father, I am a minister. My father's father had a deep love of writing; as do I. I also probably get my political leanings from him.

Toots and the Maytals

Toots and the Maytals | the Mod Generation weekly | Scoop.it

Based on doctors’ orders and due to continuing medical issues being experienced by Toots & the Maytals’ Frederick “Toots” Hibbert that are directly related to the head injury received on May 19, 2013 in Richmond Virginia, all future performances of Toots & the Maytals have regrettably been cancelled.  This cancellation includes ‘Groovin in the Park’ in New York (June 30) and the planned 6 week European summer tour (July 3-August 14),  This unavoidable decision was made by Toots’ medical team as it has been determined that any performances at this time could seriously compromise the artiste’s health and well being.

I often sell rock ‘n’ roll to 18 year-olds and Beatles and prog rock albums to 20 year-olds, they want the original stuff, not CDs or downloads anymore – it’s an exciting time.

Svengali Posters | Svengali | the Mod Generation weekly | Scoop.it

This is the first look at the posters advertising Svengali at Edinburgh Film Festival. The focus of the poster is Dixie (Jonny Owen) – the films central character – stood looking out into the distance, ready to take his first steps on a roller coaster journey through the music industry. The shadows of other characters highlight the eclectic mix of events and individuals along the way, re-inforced by the strap line: ‘Life, love and a band, can he manage it?’.
