#218 – Why Can't We Be Friends? by War
– Music is never tied to a certain year or era. A good song can cast a wide shadow across generations. Staying within our context of classic rock and pop, songs recorded by Elvis and The Beatles more than half a century ago are still the soundtrack for new fans making new memories in 2016. Since I fully expect this generation to be impacting the world a half century from now, it's safe to say these songs will still be alive and well – with an excellent chance to live on through their children
Why Can't We Be Friends? was part of my college soundtrack in 1975. But those are not the first memories that come back when hearing the song today. Instead it takes me 17 years into a future I would have never seen coming as a college student in Ohio. I can't actually say I heard the song at the end of April in 1992, but there's a word association with the title that takes me back to when I was living in Los Angeles.
If you were there, you'll remember.
For me, "Why can't we be friends?" easily flows into "Can we all get along?" It's not a stretch to anyone's imagination that both phrases say the same thing. The first was sung by the band War. The second was a statement made by Rodney King during the LA Riots in April 1992. Each one alone reminds me of the other. And since The Classic Rocker is about music and attached memories, here's what I have attached to this song…
Subtitle: The LA / Rodney King Riots
In April 1992 I was working at The Improv Comedy Club on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. For another word association, this is a Dream Songs List and I had my Dream Job. Anyone involved in the comedy business knows about Budd Friedman. He started the whole concept of "comedy clubs." Before opening The Original Improvisation in New York City with then-wife Silver, the only places to see comedians perform live were in theaters or resort hotels (think Catskill Comics). In an earlier era there had been Vaudeville.
Once The Improv got underway in the early 1960s, audiences could go to the small club (about 175 seats) on West 44th Street between 8th and 9th Avenue for drinks, food and laughs. It was groundbreaking and the concept has been copied countless times around the world since. It's also where I got my start in the comedy biz as the club manager during the late 1980's. Thank you Silver!
Budd opened The Hollywood Improv around 1980 and by 1992 I was his assistant. To put it into classic rock terms, it was like being the assistant to one of The Beatles. And to make it even more of a dream job, I was also talent booker for the club. Yeah, I can name some pretty famous comedians I was fortunate to work with, but that's not what this is all about…
I shared a two bedroom apartment in North Hollywood with my best pal Tim. He was in the rock music biz and I was in comedy, so there was a lot of loud music and laughs involved. We lived in the San Fernando Valley on Morrison Street and the drive to my office at The Improv was via Laurel Canyon Boulevard. I think it was only about eight miles, but with the morning traffic it would take about 45 minutes. My goal was always to get there before Budd, which was around 10 am.
"The Rodney King Riots" started on Wednesday, April 29, 1992. Without going too far into a history lesson, King had been brutally beaten by four LA police officers for resisting arrest after a high speed chase. King was black and the cops were white. The scene was videotaped by a local resident and was brutal to watch. He was definitely out of line for taking them on a high speed chase to avoid breaking his parole and going back to jail, but didn't deserve what the cops did to him. The trial became an issue of race and when the white cops were found not guilty, much of the black community exploded with rage. There were fires, looting, beatings and killings.

I was at The Hollywood Improv that day. As usual, I would take off around 6 pm, grab something to eat and be back at the club that night for the show. I'd leave around 11 pm and head back to North Hollywood. But almost every night, instead of retracing my Laurel Canyon morning drive, I'd take Hollywood Boulevard because I enjoyed the bright lights and people walking around.
Yeah, that's what happens when you're a "city guy."
But this night was different. I had gone to Tower Records earlier and bought a cassette of Paul McCartney's Venus and Mars album. Since my very used (and very notorious lemon) Mustang Convertible only had a tape deck I needed cassettes if I wanted a good driving soundtrack. But there was something wrong with the tape, so I had to trade it in for one that worked.
Tower Records stayed open all night, so it was no big deal making the exchange after 11 pm. But because it was later and closer to my morning drive route, I skipped the Hollywood Blvd light show and took the faster (no traffic at night) cruise home via Laurel Canyon.
When I walked into our apartment Tim was glued to the television watching live coverage of what was going on in Los Angeles since the Rodney King verdict had been announced. Angry mobs were running through the streets, buildings were on fire and stores were being looted. Much of the focus was on Hollywood Boulevard and included the stores and "lights" I would have passed if I hadn't gone to Tower Records that night. I especially remember seeing the Fredrick's Of Hollywood store in flames.
On Thursday morning I wasn't sure what was going on, but since I hadn't received a call from anyone at The Improv I assumed it was business as usual. After arriving at 10 am I asked some of the staff if the show would be cancelled that night. Everyone seemed worried (who wouldn't be?) but the show was still on.
The television and radio reported bad news all morning about violence spreading through different LA neighborhoods. Finally around noon Budd came in my office and said we were canceling our shows through Sunday night. Since we also scheduled for The Improv in Santa Monica, that meant contacting all the comedians we had booked for 14 weekend shows.
This was an era pre-cell phones, so it took a few hours to reach everyone in person. While I was making the calls, Budd and head chef Barry Minniefield nailed wooden boards across the front windows to prevent looters from trashing the place.
* And here's an interesting note for music fans…
Barry was a contestant on Season 8 of The Voice (Spring 2015). I hadn't seen him in at least 20 years and almost fell out of my chair when I recognized him singing Me And Mrs. Jones. He picked Adam Levine as his coach and gave new hope to everyone over the age of 50 that they could still be rock (and soul) stars. Thanks Barry!
The rest of the staff had already cleared out while I was working the phones. One dear friend stopped by my office on her way out and warned me to put the top up on my convertible before leaving. She'd heard on the news rioters were shooting at "white people" and I didn't need to take any chances. Not that a canvas top would stop a bullet, but I'd make sure this "white person" wasn't a clear target.

That's how nuts it was. This especially hits home looking back because our business was making people laugh regardless of color, nationality, sexual preferences or any other discriminatory labels. If you're not "color blind" you're in the wrong biz. In fact, you're in the wrong era.
Except for Budd, I was the last person to leave the club that afternoon. I had talked with all the comedians and walked next door to The Improv showroom and restaurant. Upstairs there was a smaller room (more like a loft) with a pool table and television where the comedians would hang out. Budd was sitting in a chair in front of the television watching live updates. He looked at me and said I should take off – and to be careful. My image of him was like the captain of a ship and can still picture him sitting there. Neither one of us knew what might happen within the next few hours.
Yeah, it was dramatic.
With the top up on my car I headed out of the parking lot on Melrose Avenue and drove toward Laurel Canyon Blvd. Out of my rear view mirrors I could see flames and lots of smoke from areas near downtown Los Angeles.
Tim was already back in the apartment by the time I arrived. We thought it might be safer in The Valley, but sometime in the early evening we saw a live television report showing a liquor store on fire and being looted only about a mile or two away from us. We could smell the smoke from our balcony on the second floor. I called my cousin in San Diego and told her we were on our way.
We steered away from the liquor store area, but had to stick with residential streets longer than usual because police had closed off the nearest freeway entrance. Luckily we didn't encounter any problems and a few hours later we were in San Diego. We stayed through the weekend.
My usual routine was to talk with Budd every Sunday about the week's comedian schedule. By that time the California National Guard, the Army and the Marines had gained control. Business would be as usual and we drove back to Los Angeles Sunday night. I remember Army trucks parked along the streets when we got off the freeway.
I also remember watching Rodney King on television and his now-famous quote, "People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?"
Since I work in a business where very talented and funny people can take real life situations and find humor while still delivering a serious message, King's statement was a source of healing inspiration. There was a benefit show at The Improv that week to raise money for Reginald Denny, a truck driver who had been pulled from the cab of his semi-trailer and beaten by a mob at the intersection of Florence and Normandie Avenues. The comedians were brilliant while talking about the riot, but not lessening or making fun of the situation. More than a few borrowed, "Can we all get along?" as a theme for the evening.
I remember Jim Carrey, who was starring on the TV show In Living Color walking on stage with a sign saying "Black Owned," which is what many black-owned businesses had posted outside their stores to discourage looting. The great George Wallace talked about how awful the riot was, but also joked he got a new television out of it. It was a demonstration of the healing value of humor. Thanks Budd!
Comedians can lighten a dark situation. That's why they are so important and needed in times like this.
Why Can't We Be Friends? was running through my mind on the morning of February 9th. It fits into the subliminal category of Dream Songs, but whenever I hear it my thoughts go back to The Rodney King Riots. It was a scary experience and not at all like memories I have from 1975 when the song was released.
War was a soulful, funk R&B band I also associate with life on the streets in the inner cities. And though I lived for many years in both Los Angeles and New York, I really didn't experience the streets they sang about in songs such as The World Is A Ghetto and Low Rider. The closest I came to it was in 1992, but I had the option of getting out of the way. Too many others didn't.
Here's a classic video of Why Can't We Be Friends? by War.

The Delaware Valley is the name of the metropolitan area centered on the city of Philadelphia in the United States. The region is named for the Delaware River which flows through it. The Office of Management and Budget officially defines the region as the Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington metropolitan area.
The Delaware Valley is composed of several counties in Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and contains a population of 5.8 million (as of the 2006 Census Bureau estimate). Philadelphia, being the region's major commercial, cultural, and industrial center, maintains a rather large sphere of influence that affects those counties that immediately surround it. The majority of the region's populace reside in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States[1] and is located in the southern end of the BosWash megalopolis, the name given for a group of metropolitan areas in the northeastern United States, extending from Boston to Washington, D.C.

Utah Utes football: 'Middle dribble' kickoff was soggy but successful
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — That last time the Utes tried a surprise onside kick, it caused all sorts of controversy because it came when the Utes were up 43-0 over Wyoming back in 2007.
When the Utes pulled an onside kick Saturday against Colorado State, they couldn't be accused of piling it on. This time, it just helped give the Utes an added boost in their 59-6 victory.
The "middle dribble," as the Utes called it, came early in the second quarter after the Utes had taken a 14-3 lead. Joe Phillips, who usually only handles field goals and PATs, kicked a slow roller that he was able to pounce on at the Utah 41-yard line before a Ram player even came near.
"It was supposed to go faster, but I guess it was weighed down from the water and went a little slower than I wanted it to," said Phillips. "I thought I was going to get hit because I was just waiting for it to get to the 40."
Nick Marsh usually kicks off, but Phillips kicked off on Utah's first kickoff, "so they wouldn't be suspicious" when he tried the onside kick, Phillips said.
"Jay Hill scouted that this week and thought it would work against them," said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. "It was well-executed by Joe Phillips, and our kickoff team was able to take care of their front-line guys."

Ok it doesn't glow in the dark but then my last watch didn't either ... and that wasn't a cheap one. It doesn't matter as this is the sort of watch that you will want to show off because it looks good.
If all you want is something that glows in the dark get yourself one that has Gaseous Tritium Light Source (GTLS) as it doesn't require light to charge up.
The big face makes the hands easy to see even in poor light. It took about 500 shakes to store up kinetic energy but once optimum charge is reached it keeps the charge, (As long as you wear it frequently).
The date is not easy to read unless you have good sight or wear glasses. My old watch had this area magnified.
The blue face is darker than it looks in the photo.
During the last week it has not lost/gained a second which is why I give it 5 stars. (Probably lucky, not all the watches will keep such good time).
I paid £123 and am happy with the purchase.
Under certain lighting angles the clock hands are almost invisible (very annoying), should have been phosphorescent.

Of course, I was 4 at the time. I later read this book for a public speaking class in high school, and I was surprised at how well it all held up. A great introduction to the fables that really appeals to former kids like me, and the real ones, too.

By Edna Vera - Published on Amazon.com

My daughter, Vera, was working as a consular agent in Mexico. I was very concerned because of the situation in Mexico. I prayed to The Lord to find her another job. He send her to Washington DC to work for the Office of Navy Research. Being that she went from Edinburg, Texas, living in a little ranch out of the city, I called her, "My Little Country Mouse!". She lived with her cousin, Sandy, whom I call the City Mouse. This book seemed to be written for my daughter, Vera. I gave it to her for Christmas and added a Minnie Mouse doll. She will have it in her office as a reminder of going there from Edinburg. The book is beautiful and the illustrations are awesome! I loved it very much!

I remember reading the story City Mouse Country Mouse as a child. I purchased this book as a "sincere joke" for my husband. He grew up in a big city and I grew up in a small country setting. He had not heard of the story and we enjoyed reading it together. We kept it and read it to the grandchildren when they visit.

It was very abbreviated. Not too much substance to the story, and the illustrations weren't that good, either. Like I said, it's just alright. Nothing special.

His response to Michelle Obama's speech was pretty fucked up, even for him.
Let's be honest, it was all pretty magical, but one part in particular caught the nation's attention.

The section of Trump's speech in question certainly wouldn't get past basic college plagiarism software.

I Got To Cultivate The Rite of Passage That Be Captivating Me
Snoop will be a surprise guest at your friend or loved one's special day . . . Note: We are especially looking for children who are going to have a bar mitzvah in the next two months. from www.snoopdogg.com
Fashizzle! Imagine Snoop on the bima, laid-back drawl and all, rapping an Aliyah. What better way to become a man than to hang with the Doggfather? And if Snoop's latest hit "It Blows My Mind" off the The Neptunes Present . . . the Clones is any indication, your surprise present is probably a big phat doob.
The track bluntly begins with Pharrell Williams's falsetto stating dedication and worship: "You should smoke some weed." A crescendo of kingly horns announces his (reputedly rehabbed) highness, and escalates into a funk gurgle. Snoop arrives riding the baritone beat kissed with xylophone chimes. "Blowing chronic is like a tradition to me," he chants.
Snoop's reverence for pot is biblical. He lazily raps, "The greener the tree, the stronger the bud," one of his commandments of weed. It's been 10 years since Doggystyle, and Snoop's on his second round of kids. In a heated tangent, Snoop describes himself as "Bob Marley reincarnated, pupils dilated, emancipated, concentrated, invaded, raided many times, you surprised I made it?" Um, a little.

Mon Feb 17 2014Liberated Ads Confront San Francisco Eviction Crisis
Mon Feb 17 2014Ads in SF Districts with Highest Tenant Displacement "Apprehended, Rehabilitated"
The California Department of Corrections (CDC), which practices culture jamming by "altering California's most criminal advertising", has unveiled a new campaign of bus shelter ads to confront San Francisco's eviction crisis. On February 11, 2014, the CDC successfully apprehended, rehabilitated and discharged bus shelter advertisements throughout San Francisco. The ads were released into city districts with historically high rates of tenant displacement, including the Fillmore, the Mission and South of Market. One corrected ad sits at Valencia and 24th Street in the Mission District, a neighborhood with the city's leading eviction rate from 2009 to 2013.
The corrected ads were placed in response to San Francisco's growing eviction crisis, which has been triggered by a high-tech economic boom and a surging real estate market. According to a 2013 report from the city's Budget and Legislative Analyst, all types of evictions increased 38% over the past three years with a 170% spike in Ellis Act evictions over the same period.

Key defends $100m asset selldown cost
Relevant offers
The $26 million bill for the state asset sales programme is the cost of doing what the Government wants, Prime Minister John Key says.
New figures released by the Treasury show the Government spent more than $16m in preparations for asset selldowns, while the state-owned enterprises set to be partially sold have spent another $8.4m between them.
The Green Party said once the cost of the fighting a legal challenge over water rights, and a $500,000 bonus due to Mighty River Power's chief executive for executing the sale, were included, the total was more than $26m.
More than $100m has been budgeted for the entire sales process, which aims to raise up to $7 billion by selling up to 49 per cent of Mighty River, Meridian, Genesis Energy and possibly mining company Solid Energy.
Greens co-leader Russel Norman said the spending came in the face of obvious public opposition.
"This is an extravagant waste of taxpayer funds from a government whose constant refrain is that there is not enough money to pay for desperately needed policies," Norman said.
But Key said the sale would net "billions and billions of dollars" pending the High Court decision on water rights.
"It's the cost of doing what we want to do, which is build a lot of assets, buy a lot of new assets for New Zealand, and do that without putting more debt on the Government's books," he said.
The asset sales programme was about reducing debt, he told RadioLive.
Opponents to the sales, including the Greens, the Labour Party and Grey Power, are pushing for a referendum on asset sales and hoped to reach the 400,000 signatures over the weekend.
While the legal minimum is 309,000, organisers have decided to continue until they secure at least 25 per cent more, because of the risk of people signing more than once, and the scrutiny it will be under.
Norman said that assuming the target was reached during the weekend, it could take until the end of the month for the forms to be collected, before submitting them to the Clerk of the House for scrutiny.
However, time was of the essence, with the Government planning two sales this year.
"We're in a bit of a race with the Government in a way," Norman said.
"The last thing they want to do is face the voters on this issue, because they know how unpopular they are."

Customer Reviews
One of the best hidden object games out there!
This is truly one of the best HOGs I've ever played (and I've played a lot of them!)!! It's not too easy, not too difficult, has great graphics, unique puzzles, and is very long! It has a map and a strategy guide (both of which you will need occasionally). It doesn't have a zoom on the HO scenes, but the objects are large enough to find without zoom and the scenes aren't ridiculously cluttered like some I've played. It has a simple yet engaging storyline and will keep you playing for hours on end! Worth every penny!
Creepy, Mesmerizing Fun
One of the best from Big Fish: great graphics, creepy storyline, challenging puzzles. HOGs were well done and not too dark. Having the villain narrate the story by speaking to the main character/player was a novel addition that added interest (and the voiceover actor did a great job). I also appreciated having access to the annotated map. The bonus was good as well and made for an enjoyably long game. A worthwhile purchase, though I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids due to the macabre plot and visuals.
Great game except...
I love this game. The art is good, the puzzles are good, the HOG scenes are good, the story is good. It would be perfect except for one thing.
There's a map that you can't use to jump from place to place.
The game has three floors with a maze-like design. Getting from one floor to another and back can be a bit convoluted without a teleporting ability. The map is very clear, and navigating through it is not difficult, but it is tedious. Especially when there's no images on the map, so you navigate to the wrong room with your puzzle piece.
Other than that, the game is pretty stellar. I would definitely buy more in the series, and the built-in guide is very helpful as well, as some of the puzzles are not really self-evident with the solutions. I gave it four stars, because it was definitely worth the full purchase, and i'm really enjoying it.

BROOKLYN, N.Y., March 4, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of Weeksville Heritage Center has appointed Tia Powell Harris as the third Executive Director of Brooklyn's largest African American cultural institution. Ms. Harris, who brings more than 20 years of experience creating, directing and promoting arts education and cultural programming for some of the most distinguished institutions in the country, will lead the organization in its efforts to significantly expand its education, programming and research capabilities and elevate its standing as one of the nation's leading centers for African American history and culture. She will begin her tenure on March 17.
"We are beyond thrilled to have Tia join us," said Timothy Simons, chair of the Weeksville board of directors. "Her energy, enthusiasm and record of success are what drew us to her. She will be an effective leader and powerful advocate for the institution as we seek to take WHC to the next level and transition into our new Education & Cultural Arts Center, which is slated to open later this year. Tia's passion for arts education and the performing arts will also dramatically impact our program offerings as we focus on providing greater arts access to diverse and multi-generational audiences."
Simons also recognized the tremendous contributions of WHC's founder and first executive director, Joan Maynard, whose activism and vision helped start the organization in 1971, and Pam Green, an extraordinary leader for the past 12 years who led Weeksville's transition from four historic houses to today's cultural campus. "As we start this new chapter in Weeksville's history, Tia will be instrumental in helping us to realize the vision of those who have come before while also charting out the right course for future success," he said.
Ms. Harris joins WHC from the renowned Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington D.C., where she was, most recently, the Director of Artistic Affairs. In that role, she was responsible for admissions and recruitment, grant management and reporting, grass roots fundraising efforts, institutional partnerships and outreach as well as overseeing all arts education programs and productions.
"I am very honored and humbled to have been given this great opportunity to lead such a dynamic and historical organization," said Ms. Harris. "Weeksville is such an integral part of the African-American experience in this country. It must be preserved and nurtured for long-term sustainability. I am excited to continue the hard work of fulfilling the vision of my predecessors. What I see as critical for the success of the organization is expanding our donor base, programs and partnerships. I truly believe that Weeksville has a bright future and with the support of the City and our community it will flourish as a leading cultural arts institution in Central Brooklyn and beyond."
As an arts educator for 20 years, Ms. Harris started her career as chairperson of the Theatre Department and Managing Director of The Ellington Company, an arts education consulting group and acting company. Following her work there, Ms. Harris served first as Manager of Community Partnerships at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and then as Associate Director of Education Programs at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. While at the Smithsonian, Ms. Harris also co-chaired their Material Culture Forum. She also spent time as an adjunct faculty member in the graduate level Arts Management program at American University.
Ms. Harris earned a M.A. in Communication Arts & Theater and B.S. in Speech and Drama Education from the University of Maryland, College Park.
When the new 23,000 square-foot, LEED-Gold certified Education and Cultural Arts Center opens, WHC will become the first African American historic site to operate a contemporary arts center for the "Study of Freedom and Self Determination" and the first center dedicated to generating knowledge about freedom and 19th and 20th century African American, Caribbean and African history. It will give the community unprecedented access to performing arts, contemporary exhibitions, and public research training in self-documentation, all inspired by the legacy of the free African Americans who founded the community 175 years ago.
Weeksville Heritage Center (WHC) is a multidimensional museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of the 19th century free African American community of Weeksville, Brooklyn. Using a contemporary lens, we activate this unique history through the presentation of innovative, vanguard and experimental programs. Weeksville advances its mission through history, preservation, visual and performing arts, ecology and the built environment.

Terrestrial ecosystems may act as a source or a sink for the atmospheric greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), depending on land use and management. This paper reviews the literature on carbon, CH4, and N2O fluxes from terrestrial ecosystems in China, and analyzes its national greenhouse gas budget. Carbon storage in biomass and soils in Chinese terrestrial ecosystems decreased in the past 300 years, due to deforestation and expansion of cultivated land, and reached a minimum in the late 1970s. Since then, carbon storage has increased at an estimated rate of 0.19 to 0.26 Pg C yr−1, mainly owing to reforestation and afforestation. CH4 emission from natural wetlands decreased from 6.65 Tg CH4 yr−1 in 1990 to 5.71 Tg CH4 yr−1 in 2000 owing to the decrease in wetland area. CH4 emission from flooded rice fields was 7.41 Tg CH4 yr−1. At the same time, aerobic soils took up atmospheric CH4 at a rate of 2.56 Tg CH4 yr−1. Nitrous oxide emission from forestlands, grasslands, and farmlands was positively correlated with precipitation at a national scale, and the emission rate was positively correlated with the CH4 uptake rate of forestlands and grasslands (P<0.01). Natural N2O sources were estimated to be 419 Gg N yr−1 and anthropogenic sources (from farmlands) to be 292 to 476.3 Gg N yr−1, with a mean of 372.6 Gg N yr−1. The integrated budget of greenhouse gasses indicates that Chinese terrestrial ecosystems act as a small net sink for global warming potential (GWP), ranging from 0.04 to 0.32 Pg CO2-eq yr−1, in a striking contrast to terrestrial ecosystems globally, which are a source of 2.75 to 6.78 Pg CO2-eq yr−1. The ratios of anthropogenic to natural sources of CH4 and N2O are much larger in Chinese terrestrial ecosystems than they are in global averages, reflecting greater human disturbance of terrestrial ecosystems in China.
