Seeing Race

quietdignity@gmail.com — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 04:00:00 +0000

At the introductory press conference for New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo, he told the truth.

Since he\'s the team\'s first black head coach, he was asked about race and said:

I do think of it because I believe if you don\'t see color, you can\'t see racism and whatever, whatever happens, black, white, disabled person, I\'ve all or even someone with disabilities, I always, you know, for the most part, people are like, you know, don\'t you know, when they\'re young, they kind of make a spot hot. Younger people know what that means. But what I would say is like, No, I want you to be able to go up to those people and really understand those people. So it goes back to whatever it is. Black, white, yellow. It really doesn\'t matter, but it does matter. So we can try to fix a problem that we all know we have.

The man has a point. You should consider me among those who believe Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\'s most profound statement was about judging people by the content of their character.

That phrase is often used to argue that we should have a colorblind society.

But I don\'t see things that way.

While race is not everything, we refuse to argue that it\'s nothing.

Race is one of a vast array of puzzle pieces that make up a person\'s character.

Pretending not to see race is foolish and common.

On this one, and I can barely believe I\'m saying this about a New England Patriot as a Bills fan, I\'m with Jerod Mayo.

What do you think?

Should we have a colorblind society? Is it necessary?

Blowing up the cop show model

quietdignity@gmail.com — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 04:00:00 +0000

“You go when you\'re supposed to go and everything else is homicide.”

Those are the first words you hear before the theme of one of my favorite TV dramas plays: Homicide: Life on the Streets plays.

Its lead, Andre Braugher, died a few weeks ago after a brief illness.

He won a Best Actor Emmy for his portrayal of Detective Frank Pembleton.

“Finding love is like solving the perfect crime,” said Pembleton this partner Detective Tim Bayliss. “You look at every shred of evidence, you talk to every witness, follow every lead, but more often than not, what wins in the end is just pure, dumb luck. And you, my friend, you\'re just not lucky.”

Homicide is largely memory-holed in the streaming era due to music rights issues. It\'s the older sibling of another favorite of mine, the more acclaimed The Wire. Both are based in Baltimore. Both are centered on cops. Both were novel for their times. Both from the brain and experiences of David Simon, a Baltimore newspaper reporter turned television writer.

Simon\'s book Homicide Life on the Killing Streets was based on embedding himself in a Baltimore homicide unit for a year.

During that stint, Simon met the detective whom Braugher\'s character was based.

In a 2015 interview, Simon credits executive producer Tom Fontana for creating the template for the show and teaching Simon television.

Gail called me and said, do you want to try to write the pilot? And I said to her, do you take me for a fool? I mean, you know, here\'s a chance. There\'s a chance. Like I looked at the structure and like the longer the show went, the more money I got in checks. So I said, get somebody who knows what they\'re doing. I said, but later on, if you know, once you have a template, I\'ll try my hand at one. And that\'s how myself and David Mills started with you. And, uh, and so that was, I mean, I didn\'t really go full, full in. I was not in his employ until season four and the show was already an established fact. And it really was Tom\'s template. It was, it was, you know, Tom and Barry took a book that if you made that book into a television show, it would not have been. - David Simon

Fontana says his goal was to blow up the model of the cop show.

We weren\'t trying to create some phenomenon. We were just trying to go, let\'s just not fall into the you know, the patterns that we\'ve seen over the decades. Because the cop show and the doctor show, and I had done St. Elsewhere, they\'re the two basic kinds of shows, drama series on television. And if you\'re going to try to do them, you really have to sort of blow them up. in order to do them, I think, for a new audience. Because with YouTube and everything, you can watch practically everything that\'s ever been on. So, you know, we all have to be cleverer. - Tom Fontana

No character on the show represents that more than Andre Braugher’s Frank Pembleton. A black, geeky, insular, eccentric, Latin-speaking, Jesuit-educated gentleman scholar. with a talent for solving murders that his colleagues call legendary.

Frank Pembleton: Let me get this straight. You\'re telling me about my wife? Is that it? Mary\'s gone. Livvy\'s gone. I\'m alone here in this empty house. What am I supposed to do? Spend the rest of my life waiting for my family to come back?

Tim Bayliss: Come on, Frank. Frank?

Frank Pembleton: Who is that? Who exactly is this Frank Pembleton? I used to be so sure. I used to be your partner. That was the good old days. I used to be Mary\'s husband, Livvy\'s father. I\'m still Livvy\'s father. But sitting here right now, I\'m none of those things.

Tim Bayliss: You\'ve got your job. Being a homicide detective, that\'s who you are, Frank. You take some peace in that.

Known for his interrogation skills, Pembleton simmered bubbling beneath his pressed dress shirts and...

Ending the year with David Bowie and one of my favorite hometown tales.

In August, former president Donald Trump and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani joined a long list of people immortalized in mugshots.

And they were glorious.

The expressions were fascinating and reminded me of one of my favorite mugshots: David Bowie\'s.

Bowie\'s arrest happened in my hometown of Rochester, New York.

On a Friday night in 1976, Bowie and Iggy Pop, who our newspaper identified as James Osterberg Jr., played our arena, then known as the War Memorial.

Pop and Bowie and several members of Bowie\'s entourage were arrested in a hotel after the concert in charge with marijuana possession.

Reports say they had about a half pound of pot.

Back then, that was a low-level felony.

Bowie bailed everybody out.

All of the Above with James Brown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

He drove to Springfield for his next show that night.

Word spread of Bowie\'s arrest and his arraignment a few days later.

About 200 fans showed outside a Rochester, New York courtroom to greet him, minutes before he pled not guilty.

After a quick chat with a lawyer, Bowie made a six-ish hour trip to New York City in a limo.

The limo, which was parked outside his lawyer\'s office, was ticketed for parking in the space for too long.

iggy pop marijuana

But as the Democratic & Chronicle described, a plainclothes officer took the ticket and put it in his pocket.

A few months later, Bowie faced a jury.

He wasn\'t indicted.

And that\'s the last time that David Bowie set foot in my hometown.

What do you think?

Opposites don\'t actually attract

quietdignity@gmail.com — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

It seems like every day I hear or see or read something that contradicts some long-held belief banged in my head by society.

The latest one is that opposites attract.

Apparently, most straight ones don\'t.

A study in the journal Nature looked at the results of nearly 200 studies on heterosexual relationships.

This mega meta-analysis featured a sample of around 8 million people from around the world.

Overall, they found that a vast majority of participants shared at least 18 of 22 characteristics with their partner.

These traits ranged from political and religious views, education and IQ levels, opinions about drug and alcohol views.

They even shared similar levels of happiness in whether they were introverts or extroverts.

The researchers also did their own study with more than 100,000 volunteers in the UK.

The participants shared a whopping 89% of these traits with their partners.

And strangely enough, many couples in the study even drank the same amount of water each day.

I\'m left to ask, what came first, the chicken or the egg?

Do we simply want someone like us?

Or as I tend to believe, are we the sum of our relationships?

The longer two people are in a vice grip together, the more they compromise.

As Abe Lincoln once said, a house divided cannot stand.

What do you think?

Is your partner like you?

Creativity comes from limits

quietdignity@gmail.com — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

It\'s Wednesday and it\'s time for some wit and wisdom.

This week\'s wise words come from Jon Stewart; the comedian best known for his work on The Daily Show.

Stewart and I don\'t have much in common, but we do share one belief on where good content comes from.

jon stewart

During a 2010 interview with Fresh Air with Terry Gross, he said:

You\'d be incredibly surprised at how regimented our day is and just how the infrastructure of the show is very much mechanized.

It you know, we come in and it\'s not people always think the Daily Show you guys probably just sit around and make jokes and we\'ve instituted to be able to sort of wean through all this material and synthesize it and try and come up with things to do.

We have a very kind of strict day that we have to adhere to.

And by doing that, that allows us to process everything and gives us the freedom to sort of improvise.

I\'m a real believer in that creativity comes from limits, not freedom.

Freedom, I think you don\'t know what to do with yourself, but when you have a structure, then you can improvise off it and feel confident enough to kind of come back to that.

Or as I see it, the horizon is the motivator.

Knowing a summit is near helps you do what\'s necessary to get there.

It\'s Friday and it\'s time for some comfort food, Christmas themed comfort food.

This moment of joy happened years ago at the New York City Radio Station Power 105

That’s when the late DMX was challenged to have a little fun.

And that my friends is what joy sounds like.

Sex sells right? Not if you\'re under 24

quietdignity@gmail.com — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Every generation wants something a little bit different from their media, and according to a recent survey by UCLA\'s Center for Scholars and Storytellers, the Homelanders, or Gen Z, are no different.

Many young people between age 10 and 24

want to see less romance and promiscuity in movies and TV shows.

Nearly 50% of them say that sex is not necessary for most stories.

And a little over 50% of them want more plots centered on platonic friendships.

According to the study\'s author, what the survey is really saying is that they want more in different kinds of relationships reflected in media.

adolescents aren\'t pumped about other reoccurring Hollywood storylines.

Among their bugaboos are stories about how relationships are necessary for happiness.

Plots where the male and female leads always end up together romantically.

They don\'t like happy endings.

And of course, love triangles.

My takeaway is that these young people want stories that feel more authentic and real and familiar.

Stories that give them a sense of belonging in an unstable world.

What do you think?

And do we use too much sex in media?

What are you willing to struggle for?

quietdignity@gmail.com — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

It\'s Wednesday and it\'s time for some Wit and Wisdom.

This week\'s wise words come from Mark Manson, the best-selling author known for books with profane titles like Everything is F***ed or The Subtle Act of Not Giving a F***.

In the latter book, he says in order to achieve happiness, you have to do something bold.

Choose something.

Everybody enjoys what feels good. Everyone wants to live a carefree, happy, and easy life. To fall in love, and have amazing sex, and relationships, to look perfect, and make money, and be popular, and well-respected, and admired, and a total baller to the point that people part like the Red Sea when they walk into a room. Everybody wants that. It\'s easy to want that. A more interesting question, a question that most people never consider is, what pain do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for? Because that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives turn out.

All of the Above with James Brown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

He says happiness requires problems and struggle, and fulfillment comes from finding answers for our struggle.

Whether you suffer from anxiety or loneliness, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, or a d*** boss who ruins half of your waking hours every day. The solution lies in the acceptance and active engagement of that negative experience. Not the avoidance of it. Not the salvation from it.

Or as a wise reader of mine once told me, “put a stake in the ground.”

You never know what you can find where you are.

What do you think?

And what\'s your struggle?

15 Cigerettes

quietdignity@gmail.com — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

his holiday season has me thinking about how fortunate I am to have people in my life that care about me.

It also makes me think about the feeling that I have at times.

that I\'m all alone, even in crowded rooms.

This feeling is riskier than most of us realize.

The World Health Organization claims loneliness is equivalent to 15 cigarettes a day, and the risks are greater than those that come with obesity or physical inactivity.

All of the Above with James Brown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

That\'s why they\'ve declared loneliness a global public health concern.

And no wonder, according to a worldwide 140-country Gallup meta-survey, 1 in 4 people, or more than a billion adults on the planet, are very or fairly lonely.

And a report from NPR suggests that that percentage is likely low because the poll wasn\'t allowed in China.

There must be more than a few lonely Chinese people

With this, we should consider why billion-ish people feel this way.

Many point to the ever-long tale of the COVID-19 pandemic, and no doubt that plays a role, but that can\'t be it.

The modern condition is filled with conveniences and wonders that are often hard to escape, as is the weight of it all.

In the strings attached,

I think we should slow down and ask, is all this worth it? And if its not what do we do about it?

Whether it is or not, at least I know I\'m not alone.

What do you think and why are so many people lonely these days?

Colin Cowherd, Draymond Green and the strange world of “new” media

Colin Cowherd, the sports talk TV and radio star turned entrepreneur and owner of the podcasting network, The Volume, posted a fascinating appeal to his listeners.

Take it easy on Draymond Green.

“I know Draymond,” Cowherd told his podcast audience. “He\'s a terrific employee. He\'s a hard worker. He\'s an excellent podcaster. He\'s thoughtful and very, very reflective. I\'ve never thought he mails it in.“

He’s right. Over the decades, we\'ve seen worse than green in sports in the NBA.

“My feeling is, when you have perspective and you\'ve watched (Bill) Laimbeer,” continued Cowherd. “And you\'ve watched Dennis Rodman and you see Draymond and Laimbeer and Draymond are more talented, better offensive players, obviously, than Dennis Rodman. But it\'s just perspective. You know, he\'s not let\'s take a deep breath here. He\'s not selling drugs to kids. He\'s not a shady politician. He\'s not selling weapons to inappropriate people. It\'s a sports suspension based on a very physical player.”

Much like those athletes, Green\'s temperamental nature was intertwined with winning.

The future basketball Hall of Famer was a key component of one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history.

His Golden State Warriors won four titles, appeared in six NBA titles, and won more games in a single season than any other team in history, all in a 10-year span.

Green isn\'t a typical, bombastic, demonstrative, fire-breathing physical player known for doing all the little things, the dirty work.

The team needed this to allow its style to succeed.

In many ways, he was the team\'s heartbeat.

Today, as I record this, he\'s also a big reason why they\'re in 11th place.

Green is an atypical, bombastic, demonstrative, fire breathing, physical player, known for doing all the little things, the dirty work, the team needed to allow its style to succeed. In many ways, he was the team’s heartbeat.

Today, as I record this, he’s also a big reason why they’re in 11th place.

As his physical talents have declined, he’s escalated one of his worst habits: lashing out during games. Last year, he punched a teammate and this year he’s repeatedly got himself thrown out of games for his conduct including for choking an opponent. Just a few days ago, he was suspended indefinitely for hitting another opponent in the head.

What made Cowherd’s comments fascinating is their business relationship. Green’s podcast is produced by, empowered by, enabled by Colin Cowherd’s network. A year and half ago he described his work as “new” media.

“It\'s a mindset.” Green said. “It’s how you go about your business.”

Subscribe now

No doubt what Green is doing is “new.” He has been in the vanguard of a new phenomenon in the sports media world: active players covering their own leagues on podcasts, and major networks. Green also has a deal with NBA partner TNT. In recent years, a growing sect of active athletes has ventured into this space. Green’s recently retired teammate Andre Iguodala, New Orleans Pelicans star CJ McCullum and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and his brother Jason Kelce of Philadelphia Eagles to name a few. LeBron James has a different but similarly influential relationship with ESPN, his production company Uninterrupted has produced series for ESPN’s streaming network, ESPN+ for years.

These relationships beg the question: if the media and those they cover are financially entangled, how can we believe what they have say about them? The truth is we...

Leaving America

quietdignity@gmail.com — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

As of the beginning of this decade, about 3 million American citizens chose to live elsewhere.

And it appears that that number may go up, and for good reason.

The language prep site Preply asked 3,000 Americans between 18 and 26 how likely they were to leave the country permanently, and to put that urge on a scale of zero to five.

The average answer?

Three out of five.

The reasons vary, but here are the big ones.

Things here cost a lot, and they\'re going higher.

They want to experience a different culture.

They\'re worried about gun violence, and they want more of a social safety net.

How much of this is young wanderlust is unclear, but one thing is, the standard of living in America is just getting more difficult to withstand.

According to a McKinsey study, this cohort is going through what looks like a decline in economic opportunities.

Saving for retirement seems out of reach and will become even harder.

Almost 60% of the Gen Zers say their basic needs are not being met.

And that study is from 2021, before the waves of inflation of the last few years.

What do you think?

And would you move out of the country if you could?t me know what you think in the comments at jamesbrowntv.substack.com

Made to last

quietdignity@gmail.com — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

That\'s the sound of me lying on the floor of my dining room.

I\'m fighting with a giant metal cabinet that the girlfriend now uses to store her baking tools.

We have two of them, but we only paid for one of them.

The first one was defective.

We asked for a replacement part.

Instead, they sent us a whole new cabinet.

And the company said, keep the old one.

According to Reuters, this is happening more.

Americans are expected to return more than $170 billion of goods this year, and nearly 60% of retailers have return lists or keep it policies for products whose returns cost more than their value.

And according to one of my favorite substacks, Demography Unplugged, returns have increased due to online shopping.

Demography Unplugged

New Retail Policy: Keep Your Returns

This holiday season, many retailers have adopted a “keep it” return policy. Instead of giving back unwanted merchandise, customers can keep the items free of charge. —Reuters…

4 days ago · 3 likes · Demography Unplugged

Customers often change their minds when they see their items in person.

And honestly, who hasn\'t done that?

I\'ve done that.

The average return costs retailers about $30.

Many stores believe that time and the cost of processing these returns aren\'t worth the effort.

Nor are most of the things we buy.

It feels like there was some sort of secret meeting convened where the powers that be decided that most of the furniture and electronics that we buy will be more cumbersome and harder to put together.

That they\'d stop working sooner.

That these items won\'t be worth our time.

I hope this cabinet proves me wrong.

No pain, no gain

quietdignity@gmail.com — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

It\'s Wednesday and it\'s time for some wit and wisdom.

This week\'s wise words come from the late John M. Huntsman.

In his book, Winners Never Cheat, Even in Difficult Times, the billionaire explained his life philosophy.

When it comes to leadership, it boiled down to four words, no pain, no gain.

“Leaders are called to enter arenas where success isn\'t covered by a warranty, where public failure is a real possibility,” said Huntsman.

He said that most senior executives aren\'t interested in a top job.

Why?

Because of the risk.

The chance of making mistakes increases dramatically with leadership, writes Huntsman.

“No matter its nature or level, but never having failed is never having led,” continued Huntsman. “To succeed, we must attempt new things.”

He explains that as kids we knew this truth.

Babies fall as they learn to walk.

They spill their food.

No one uses the toilet perfectly the first time or the first dozens of times.

Those who prefer jeering and ridiculing from the sidelines when players err or stumble just don\'t get it, he said.

Mistakes and miscues are often transformed into meaningful, successful experiences.

Keep in mind the old saying,

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgment.

What do you think?

And what mistakes did you make early in your life?

Those were the days

quietdignity@gmail.com — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Remember Norman Lear and his impact on American television

All in the Family is the crown jewel of Norman Lear\'s television career.

The TV legend died last week.

It\'s hard to put into words his impact on the American sitcom, let alone my thoughts on how he transformed the genre.

He\'s a big reason why I\'m obsessed with it.

And honestly, I think he\'s a big reason why the genre struggles today.

Lear\'s resume is unassailable.

In the 1970s, he used British TV templates to expand what American sitcoms were, breaking the genre out of antiseptic worlds like Dick Van Dyke Show and Brady Bunch or I Dream of Jeannie.

Among his biggest hits were All in the Family, Maud, The Jeffersons, and Sanford and Son.

All his shows had unlikely leads tackling social issues of their day.

Racism, sexism, war, class, and even rape on a sitcom.

For example, one of his leads was Fred Sanford.

He starred in, of course, Sanford & Son, which was based off of the British show Steptoe & Son.

Sanford was a black bigot scrapyard dealer who was constantly working on get-rich-quick schemes to get himself and his son out of debt.

Let me tell you something.

I\'m only going to tell you this one time and one time only.

I don\'t want any Puerto Ricans living in my house.

- Fred Sanford

The influence of Lear\'s characters are everywhere.

It\'s hard to imagine Cheers without Lear.

That\'s a sitcom about an alcoholic ex-pro baseball player named Sam Malone who runs a bar.

Or the moral ambiguity of the self-interested cast of characters in the world of Seinfeld.

Even very special episodes of shows like Blossom and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air have Lear\'s fingerprints on them.

And more recently, shows like FX\'s Atlanta, which was filled with characters confronting unsaid but common social issues.

But on the downside, shoving sitcoms into a more pointed, complicated, increasingly political landscape has led to another byproduct.

The genre has lost track of what Lear\'s shows rarely did.

First and foremost, they were funny.

Those Were The Days.

Norman Lear was 101.

700 million

quietdignity@gmail.com — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

700 million dollars.

That\'s what the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to pay Shohei Ohtani over the next 10 years.

He\'s a superstar. He pitches and catches like an all star. That\'s something that no one has done consistently in the majors since Babe Ruth.

A true anomaly.

Elite Company does not describe how rare he is as a player.

Only he won\'t pitch next year because he\'s injured.

Ohtani had Tommy John surgery a few months back and we don\'t know whether he\'ll pitch again.

Now he\'ll make more money than any player in the history of American sports.

700 million dollars for an injured baseball player.

His contract is 14 times the size of the entire Oakland A\'s of last year.

LeBron James hasn\'t made $700 million in his career in the NBA.

Otani will make about as much as the Biden administration is promising to pay to bring internet to thousands of rural residents.

Or what the World Bank has agreed to pay to help Sri Lanka deal with its budget problems.

And seven times what the Food Network has agreed to pay Guy Fieri over the next three years.

$700 millio for an injured baseball player.

Pnart of me is amused by this, that this is possible at all.

And part of me is wondering, what the hell is wrong with this?

I\'m a capitalist.

I don\'t begrudge businessmen and women for making business moves.

It\'s not my money.

But this is yet another sign that we live in a gilded age, or at least the tail end of one.

Where are our priorities?

Jellyroll wins

quietdignity@gmail.com — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

It\'s Friday and that means it\'s time for some comfort food.

This week\'s selection comes from the world of country music.

Kinda.

After spending an hour listening to Jelly Roll’s music, I wasn\'t quite sure what to make of it.

I had no idea who he was until I saw the face-tattooed rapper turn country music star win CMT\'s Best New Artist award.

He had a message for all of us.

Despite your tribulations, success is on the other side of it.

There is something poetic about a 39-year-old man winning New Artist of the Year.

I don\'t know where you\'re at in your life or what you\'re going through, but I want to tell you to keep going, baby.

I want to tell you success is on the other side of it.

I want to tell you it\'s going to be okay.

I want to tell you that the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror for a reason.

Because what\'s in front of you is so much more important than what\'s behind you.

Let\'s party, Nashville!

And that, my friends, is what joy sounds like.

DINKS and the demography of America

quietdignity@gmail.com — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

You may have heard a recent episode of mine.

It was about the mountain of data that shows that kids in one parent households are falling behind their colleagues with two parents.

This episode is another part of that equation, a part that will no doubt shape the future of America.

They\'re called DINKS, also known as Couples with Dual Income, No Kids.

U.S.

Census data says that 43% of all American homes are childless.

For these couples, it\'s a financial boon.

Their net worth are also higher than households with kids.

And if you believe a recent Pew Research survey, 44% of non-parents ages 18 to 49 say they never want to have children. That\'s up 7% from the same survey taken in 2018.

How much this behavior will hold is a mystery. People get older and they change their minds. I know I have.

But one thing about this isn\'t going to change.

The more and the longer we as a society choose this path, will we shape the way things look in the future.

The implications of this are many fold.

Here are a few of the likely outcomes.

We\'ll have to lean on immigration to take care of a much older population in the coming decades.

And just to keep our economy chugging along, as is, if that\'s even possible. Look at Japan. It\'s not a pretty picture.

And our population, our melting pot, will end up blacker, browner, and whiter in ways we can\'t even begin to imagine today.

Because, my friends, demographics and birthrate are destiny.

What do you think?

And are you a dink?

And what are your reasons for it?

Sorry not sorry

quietdignity@gmail.com — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Comedian Louis C.K. was accused of and admitted to some awful things.

The incidents include lewd activities in front of female comedians in his apartment.

I\'ll spare you the details, but frankly, I think they\'re disgusting.

While the incidents fell short of criminality, some, like the directors of a new documentary called Sorry Not Sorry, argued that the punishment wasn\'t steep enough.

As the world learned of the details, CK, like Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, Brett Ratner, and other stars accused of sexual misconduct, were cancelled in the midst of a wave of Me Too allegations.

CK lost a lot, likely millions of dollars.

He was producing multiple TV shows, including his own FX show, Louie.

He had films in the pipeline and an increasingly high profile.

He presented at and was rumored to host the Academy Awards.

But unlike others, CK had a direct pipe to his audience.

He\'d been selling movies and comedy shows through his website for years and accumulated a massive email list.

In a pluralistic society full of choices from cereal to scented candles: Why not let the market decide here?

And I\'d argue that the market has.

So far, CK hasn\'t come close to the heights he reached before the allegations.

He\'s now a niche act, and as far as I see, nothing\'s going back to the way it was.

Is that enough, and how long should someone be cancelled?

Wakes were created to stop burying people alive and other fascinating funeral facts (4/5)

quietdignity@gmail.com — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 04:00:00 +0000

This is part four of a series called Connecting the Circle: conversations on death and dying with the people who see it every day. My guest is Genevieve Keeney Vasquez, President and CEO of the National Museum of Funeral History. In this episode we\'ll discuss Keeney Vasquez\'s career as a palliative nurse, a funeral director and army medical officer.

In this episode James Brown and Keeney Vasquez dig deeper into the history of funerals in America, including turning points such as the Civil War and the introduction of embalming. Surgeons during the Civil War developed embalming to preserve dead bodies for transportation and decontamination. Genevieve Keeney Vasquez explains how the profession of embalming originated, with surgeons training laypeople in the 19th century. In the Civil War era, injured soldiers were placed in heavy metal coffins called Fiske coffins if their circulatory system was compromised, and some were buried in unmarked graves.

How should we define classical music?: Part 2 of conversation a with conductor Jeff Tyzik

quietdignity@gmail.com — Sun, 18 Jun 2023 08:00:00 +0000

This is part of a conversation between Grammy winning orchestra conductor Jeff Tyzik and journalist and podcaster James Brown. Tyzik describes the difficulty of covering modern music with an orchestra and how should we define classical music

JAMES BROWN: There are lots of conventions about orchestral music. There\'s a box that I think most of us put it in. Some would just call it classical. Is that the correct term? Do you like that term? How do you feel about it?

JEFF TYZIK: Well, music is so diverse and there are so many eras of music. I mean, when people think of classical music, they kind of go back to the period of time of Haydn and Mozart and Beethoven, Hubert and Chikovsky, the Eastern European music that came to America through the immigrants that brought it and that kind of thing. So that\'s when they think of classical music. But Bernstein is classical. But also Bernstein wrote West Side Story.

JEFF TYZIK: You know what I\'m saying? And there are so many Latin composers that got short shrift, like Manuel Defian and even Revelta and Marquez, these contemporary composers. And there\'s a whole music, a new music. And kind of if you think about also George Gershwin. I mean George Gershwin\'s. Incredible music. He wrote shows. He wrote the first American opera, porgy and Best. Basically Rhapsody and Blue and American in Paris. And the Concerto and F are two phenomenal classical pieces, but they contain within them elements of jazz and blues and different things like that.

And I must say that black composers that write classical music have been overlooked over the years, and now there\'s a resurgence in that. And I just did a concert, and it was really interesting for me because I picked five pieces of music, every one of them. This composer, we did this fanfare of his, and he was born in Rochester. Then we did a piece by the composer Okoye, and it\'s from an opera about Harriet Tubman.

And Harriet Tubman didn\'t live far from Rochester. And the underground Railro

ad went right through Rochester. Okay? Then we did a piece by William Grant Still, who actually became a protégé of Howard Hansen. Howard Hansen is a great American composer who was also the dean of the Eastman School of Music. And he wrote this Afro American Symphony, and it was programmed in 1934 with the Rochester Philharmonic.

Premiering that piece in the Eastman Theater in 1934. Incredible second half. A new, young composer, James Lee compared to me. He\'s young, he\'s in his 40s. Incredible composer. And he wrote, freedom\'s. Genuine dawn. And this was a piece for narrator and orchestra. And it\'s a Frederick Douglas speech. One of his speech was the speech about the 4 July. What does that mean to us? And he said it to music. It was an incredible piece of music.

JEFF TYZIK: It was only written in the last three years. That comes under the umbrella of classical music. And our final piece was Duke Ellington wrote a ballet called The River. And it is really a brilliant piece of music, and it\'s written for orchestra. So there\'s a whole genre of music that is actually classical music, but it is anything but the music of the 18 and 19 hundreds, if you know what I mean. So there\'s that box.

There\'s classical, then there\'s popular. I mean, the orchestras, they sell these boxes subscribe to our classical series, subscribe to our pop series. But sometimes in the pop series, I\'m doing what\'s known as classical music. And sometimes on the classical series, we\'re doing Duke Ellison jazz. So to me, there are no boxes.

JAMES BROWN Precisely, I think, at doing an examination of your career and your background and the type of music you\'ve made and who you\'ve worked with, it\'s clear that you like to break that box. You kind of want to throw it up against the wall. There\'s a lot of preconceptions that orchestral music or classical music,...

Exploring Human Behavior with Wisdom Miner Eric Hunley

quietdignity@gmail.com — Wed, 17 May 2023 17:55:00 +0000

James Brown welcomed Eric Hunley to the program, discussing Eric\'s content on four different YouTube channels: Laidback News, Unstructured, America\'s Untold Stories, and Nate and Eric. America\'s Untold Stories focuses on obscure and overlooked American history with a touch of conspiracy theory.

Laidback News is a combination of news commentary that Eric is working on bringing back. Unstructured is Eric\'s own channel that focuses on Evergreen content, while Nate and Eric is a relatively new channel with Nate the lawyer that they are trying to figure out the timing to release content. Overall, Eric\'s content focuses on American history, current events, and legal panels.

Eric is a wisdom miner, someone who interviews others and mines for wisdom. Eric\'s work can be placed in three buckets: crime, celebrities, and consequences. His main focus is overall human behavior.
