“How Spalding Gray Talks To You now.”
Spalding Gray was a hyperbolist. A storyteller, monologuist. Exaggerator, in other words, an actor. There was an undeniable charisma to this storyteller-Monologuist-actor, Spalding Gray. Swimming to Cambodia was my introduction to Spalding.
Eno’s impact on Bryan Ferry, U2, and Roxy Music
Roxy Music, led by Bryan Ferry’s sophisticated, romantic vocals and an avant-garde aesthetic, embodied the art-rock movement of the early ‘70s. Each member played a crucial role in this genre-blending sound. Andy Mackay’s saxophone, Phil Manzanera’s guitars, and Paul Thompson’s drumming complemented Ferry’s vision, but it was Eno’s synthesizer work that gave Roxy Music its signature experimental flair.
Now Tina Turner, RIP, Chanting her way to Peace!
Tina Turner’s legacy as the Queen of Rock is undisputed, but what deepened her connection with fans beyond the music was her powerful spiritual journey. In 1973, after enduring years of turmoil in her relationship with Ike Turner, Tina discovered a life-altering practice through Buddhism. Introduced to chanting by a friend in Los Angeles, she immersed herself in the daily discipline of chanting “Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,” a mantra central to Nichiren Buddhism.
