Ironically -- or perhaps not ironically -- it's snowing right now in the Washington, D.C. area. Few are thinking about the final destination of all their footsteps.

Not very musician-like for me to admit, but I often use Impressionistic music as background music when I read fiction.

Yes, Joyce -- and Huston -- captured the same essence of resignation to despair Debussy evokes in Des pas sur la neige, only Debussy is more empathetic than Joyce who seems to revel in eloquent self pity.

So, FJ, do I detect a hint of hope -- even optimism -- in your reference to the protagonist's anxiety preceding the advent of Robinson Crusoe's man Friday?
If so, good for you.
As for me, while I believe life truly is eternal, it's only the agony that endures. The ecstasy comes in flashes every so often -- and then only if you're lucky. Many never experience much of anything beyond the creeping petty pace so bitterly scorned by Macbeth.

Sometimes, death is not a cause for despair.
I hope to God that I don't "live" out my final days the way that my mother-in-law is "living" right now in the final stages of Alzheimer's. Hideous. For all.

Sorry, but I HATE Stephen King, and I HATE Jack Nicholson even more.
I admit that King has a tremendous talent for story telling, but what he has done with it -- with the possible exception of The Shawshank Redemption -- has added greatly to the cultural pollution that has all-but exterminated the spirit that enabled brave men and women to carve this once-great country out of the wilderness.

Death may well be a cause for rejoicing, AOW, as surely it is bound to be in your mother-in-law's case.
Unfortunately, it is LIFE that too often gives case for despair.
Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife.
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the Culprit -- Life!

I didn't recognize the title of "Out, Out," but when I pulled up the poem online, I immediately recognized it.
My father, who had his own sawmill for a time, knew this poem, BTW. Work accidents were quite common back in those days, of course.

A bit puzzling the comment on Larissa, FJ.
If a foolish-but-well-meaning person knew the way, his instructions would be adequate.
So, of course, would those of a wise man.
The difference, I suppose, between the sage and the fool, however, might be in the likelihood that the fool would give directions even if he did not know the way, while the wise man would simply say he didn't know.
Plato didn't mention the possibility of a wicked person being asked the way to Larissa, did he?
A wicked person would be likely to send the inquirers on a wild goose chase -- or worse instruct them to walk directly into a trap set by brigands for hapless wanderers with a few extra coins in their pockets.

Am I in a bad mood? Or was I in a bad mood when I posted Des pas sur la neige, Z?
Not at all. I have been enjoying a period of sober contemplation which seems perfectly appropriate given the cultural and political realities we must endure these days.
I don't believe Debussy was in a "bad mood," when he wrote Footsteps in the Snow. The piece may well be a musical depiction and evocation of despair, but like most of the truly great artists he empathizes with his subject.
Pathos is one thing. Bathos quite another. Empathy with the former is ennobling. Indulgence in the latter is degrading.

You indicated that you hated The Shining. The book or the movie -- or both?
I note that Stephen King has written a sequel to The Shining; the sequel is due to be released in September.
Stephen King has written books and short stories in a variety of genres.
BTW, the film The Shawshank Redemption is based on a novella from Different Seasons, a work of which I am particularly fond.
Yes, yes, I am a fan of Stephen King, but not of all of his works.
- February 2, 2013 at 7:54 AM
- FreeThinke said...
King is an extraordinarily gifted writer, AOW. There's no doubt about that, but MORBIDITY dominates most of his work, and I have a limited appetite for that sort of thing.
Edgar Allen Poe, whom I greatly admire, certainly had morbid turn of mind, himself, but his writing is a lot "classier" than King's. Stephen could never have produced The Gold Bug, the Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter or the wonderful thrilling, haunting, evocative music found in The Raven, Ulalume, The Bells, or Annabel Lee.
What I dislike most about Stephen King, I suppose, is the man, himself. I've always found him to be an obnoxious proletarian with base instincts and an obvious desire to punish and torment his audience.
BUT that Shawshank Redemption and one or two other of his shorter works prove his talent is authentic.
I just wish he'd it to to better use!
As for The Shining. I read the book first, and found it very absorbing. Whatever else I might want to say about it only a fool would say it was not well written. BUT, the work left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I thought the movie was horrible, but that's because Jack Nicholson is horrible. I don't believe he is "acting." I think he is revealing his true self on screen -- a self that is terrifying and revolting -- no matter what role he plays.

I do not find Stephen King likable. However, one of my librarian friends -- she is not a fan of King's writing -- said that he is quite wonderful in person. She had occasion to meet him when he came to the library to do a reading of one of his works.
an obvious desire to punish and torment his audience
As King himself says, "When all else fails, go for the gross out." He is not a Poe.
IMO, his best novel is 11/22/63, and his second best novel is The Green Mile. I find a maturity is his writing in those particular works.
I am not fond of most of his science fiction.
As for The Shining, I read it during a blizzard. The book scared the bejesus out of me!
I must say one more thing about Stephen King. Hardened Leftist though he may be, his book On Writing is an invaluable manual about how to write effectively -- primarily how to write fiction effectively. However, he is a staunch supporter of "the tool box": good grammar!

The New York Times. Stacey Kent performing at Birdland. By STEPHEN HOLDEN Published: June 19, 2013
The Spirits of Brazil, Weaving Through Jazz Sounds
Stacey Kent and Jim Tomlinson at Birdland
With her bright, alluring sliver of a voice — a darting musical tongue of flame — Stacey Kent has few of the traits commonly associated with jazz singing. Yet with her lightly swinging delivery, curt phrasing and attraction to Brazilian bossa nova, she is a jazz singer in the iconoclastic mode of the much-missed Blossom Dearie, whom some critics wrongly dismissed as more cabaret than jazz.
Instead of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, the spirits who guide Ms. Kent belong to the Brazilians, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and João and Astrud Gilberto. Dreaminess trumps realism. Ms. Kent and her husband, the saxophonist Jim Tomlinson, suggest a latter-day answer to Ms. Gilberto and Stan Getz, whose early recordings remain the foundation of what they do. And on Tuesday evening at Birdland, where Ms. Kent and Mr. Tomlinson arrived for their annual New York City appearance, the opening set was sprinkled with Jobim songs, animated as much by Mr. Tomlinson's intensely smoky solos as by Ms. Kent's girlish chirp.
But there is more. In recent years the novelist Kazuo Ishiguro, who writes fanciful, mildly surreal lyrics to Mr. Tomlinson's music, has given Ms. Kent a quasi-literary identity. The portrait evoked by their collaborations is that of a reflective free spirit and latter-day romantic cautiously following her exploratory instincts. Although Ms. Kent has an introspective side, you could never describe her sensibility as tragic or even deeply sad. She projects an innate buoyancy.
Ms. Kent's other defining characteristic is her pan-European musical outlook. She grew up in New Jersey, but she and her husband are based in England and have built up large followings in France and Germany. In her 2010 album, "Raconte-Moi," Ms. Kent sings in fluent French.
It all made for a heady mixture in a show that was a kind of retrospective, the high points being the Sammy Cahn-Benny Carter standard "Only Trust Your Heart," and a Tomlinson-Ishiguro collaboration, "The Changing Lights," a song that defines Ms. Kent and Mr. Tomlinson as sophisticated, cosmopolitan jazz impressionists.

June 10, 2010. Stacey Kent at BIRDLAND, NYC. By David Finkle
First Nighter: Cabaret Thrushes Stacey Kent, Karen Oberlin Flying High and Low
Maybe because she's just releasing a Blue Note CD entirely in French called Raconte-Moi, fresh-faced, short-cropped-redheaded Stacey Kent, warbling at Birdland this week, suddenly made me think of Jean Seberg in Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 classic film Breathless. She's got that sort of naughty-innocent way about her, that as-yet-unsullied joie de vivre. Joy infuses everything she sings with a vocal zing -- which she's showing off this week as part of her current stateside tour. Wearing an understated black dress that seemed to whisper "Paris original," she demonstrated that, as she continues to work with mellow saxophonist-husband Jim Tomlinson, she only gets better and better. One of Kent's distinguishing factors is a special way of phrasing that may not be what the songwriter(s) had in mind but always sounds exactly right. "I'll make my tricks sound like no tricks at all," she could be saying as she runs, skips, hops and sometimes only saunters through whatever repertoire she's decided to give the once-over. Although she may strike this fan as reminiscent of "Breathless," she's never a bout de souffle, as the flick's original title has it. She's always in complete control of her craft, and smiling throughout her breezy commitment to it. Those left breathless are those lucky enough to be listening to her. How does she do it and yet remain so utterly unaffected, so winning? The communal audience breathlessness began this trip (she's American but lives in England) with a French translation of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Waters of March," with which she opened and sang, appropriately, as if the words and notes were spring thaw flowing over pebbles in a mountain stream. Included in the 12-song mix were the cute "Breakfast on the Morning Tram" and "Jardin d'Hiver" she often likes to deliver as well as several songs from the new album, a couple of which were written for her. "The Ice Hotel" is another one devised for her--by hubby Tomlinson, who, incidentally, soloed stunningly on "For All We Know." New to me this frame was Kent on the guitar, which she plays adeptly. Mentioning that she'd studied Portuguese last summer at Middlebury, she eased into Jobim's "Corcovado," using the inspired Gene Lees lyric. That's the one that goes, "I, who was lost and lonely, believing life was only a bitter, tragic joke, have found in you the meaning of existence, oh, my love!" I regularly judge "Corcovado" interpreters on which translations they use; if they don't use Lee's unflinching words, they lose points. Kent gained many. I'd say that Kent's set -- Art Hirahara on piano, Gordy Johnson on bass, Phil Hey on drums (and doesn't Kent love moving to their rhythms!) -- was flawless, but there is one aspect I think could be adjusted. For audience members who may or may not speak French, she should probably be more generous with the translations. She claims the contents are self-explanatory, but they really aren't. Still, the set was superlative.
"Cosmopolitan Jazz With a Literary Accent"
By Stephen Holden
BIRDLAND, NYC June 2-6, 2009
Stacey Kent, fresh from a tour of 27 countries, was in an exultant mood on Thursday evening at Birdland. Her latest album, "Breakfast on the Morning Tram" (Blue Note/EMI), has enjoyed the kind of commercial success in Europe that Diana Krall's records achieve in the United States; it also earned her a Grammy nomination for best jazz vocal album. In March she received the National Order of Arts and Letters decoration from the French culture minister.
But more significant, "Breakfast," which has steadily grown on me since its release a year and a half ago, has solidified the identity of Ms. Kent, an American based in in London, as the drifting Cosmopolitan Girl of jazz. The heart of the record consists of four songs, with music by Jim Tomlinson and lyrics by the novelist Kazuo Ishiguro, that enter a literary realm infrequently visited by jazz songwriters. Mr. Tomlinson, besides writing the music, is also the saxophonist in Ms. Kent's band, playing Stan Getz to her Astrud Gilberto, and is her "chef, driver, best friend and husband," she said.
These songs crystallize Ms. Kent's image as a young, hardy latter-day variation of a Jean Rhys character in romantic flux. As Mr. Ishiguro's images flash like glimpses of landscape from a speeding train, Mr. Tomlinson's music places them in a 1960s-flavored European-Brazilian impressionistic milieu. Singing her album's title song and "The Ice Hotel," as well as songs in French that included Henri Salvador's "Jardin d'Hiver," Ms. Kent made subtle dramatic use of her tart, two-tiered voice: sultry, with curlicues of vibrato when she coos, knife-edged when the volume is raised.
A voice as delicate as Ms. Kent's requires special handling. In previous concerts the overuse of drumsticks had sometimes sabotaged her charm. On Thursday Phil Hey, the drummer in an ensemble that included the pianist Art Hirahara and the bassist Gordy Johnson, in addition to Mr. Tomlinson, remained laid-back enough to let her sparkle.
Ms. Kent's international background helped to give her encore, that drippy, rose-colored musical greeting card "What a Wonderful World," new resonance. She has been there and done that; both the songs and the singing evoke a rich, complicated, not to say privileged, artistic life.

Concert 27 Mars, 2009: Stacey Kent @ the Philharmonie, Published by Norry Goedert
La voix la plus suave du jazz contemporain
All photos by Philharmonie
POUR tous ceux qui connaissaient déjà pour les aimer passionnément les voix de Dianne Reeves, Cassandra Wilson, Diana Krall ou, plus récemment, celle de Norah Jones, il leur faudra désormais y rajouter une voix singulièrement subtile, légère et chatouillante à souhait : nous parlons évidemment de Stacey Kent qui vient de donner un concert de toute beauté, devant une salle comble à la Philharmonie, avec un auditoire au comble du bonheur aussi…
Cette frêle personne à l'allure humble et vulnérable, Clint Eastwood en personne, grand passionné de jazz capable de discerner les authentiques talents, l'appela afin de lui proposer de chanter à l'occasion de son 70e anniversaire, ce qui veut dire beaucoup… Aujourd'hui, sous contrat exclusif avec la prestigieuse « Blue Note », cette grande ambassadrice du jazz vocal y a signé un album, « Breakfast on a morning tram », qui la consacre définitivement sur la scène internationale du jazz.
Très influencée par le répertoire romantique, elle y puise ses inspirations, mais aussi dans la musique country et le folk de son Amérique d'origine. Elle s'est très tôt fait siens les répertoires de Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald ou Frank Sinatra et s'est imprégné d'autres grands noms du jazz américain. Parmi d'autres qualités, elle possède un sens du phrasé hors du commun et, en tant qu'ancienne étudiante ès lettres, une profonde science des mots et de leur musicalité propre.
Stacey, après avoir obtenu son diplôme en littérature comparée au Sarah Lawrence College de New York, est partie en Grande-Bretagne, où elle a suivi les cours du « Guildhall School of Music and Drama », et rencontré le saxophoniste Jim Tomlinson, qu'elle a épousé en 1991.
Son premier album, « Close Your Eyes », sort en 1997. Cinq autres suivront, ainsi que des participations aux albums de Tomlinson, dont dernièrement « The Lyric » (2005), qui a remporté le prix de l'album de l'année aux BBC Jazz Awards 2006. Elle-même a remporté le prix de meilleure vocaliste aux British Jazz Award (2001) et BBC Jazz Award (2002). Un autre album, « The Boy Next Door », a été certifié disque d'or en France en 2006. Son album, « Breakfast On The Morning Tram » (2007) dont elle interprétait de larges extraits à la Philharmonie, fut consacré lui aussi disque d'or.
Infaillible fusion entre texte, musique et chant
Mais que serait la meilleure voix du monde sans beaux textes à interpréter et sans grands musiciens qui l'accompagnent ? Et, de ces deux côtés-là, Stacey est vraiment gâtée, puisque, d'une part, de nombreux textes de son nouvel album sont signés par l'écrivain britannique d'origine japonaise Kasuo Ishiguro, textes d'une beauté rayonnante et pleins d'une subtilité toute poétique ; et, d'autre part, les musiciens qui l'assistaient - en l'occurrence : son mari, ami, mentor et grand saxophoniste, Jim Tomlinson ; le pianiste Graham Harvey ; le bassiste Jeremy Brown ; et, last but not least, le batteur Mark Skelton – créèrent une atmosphère claire, scintillante, pure, parfois mélancolique, parfois si cristalline et fraîche qu'on croyait apercevoir cet « Ice Hotel » translucide qu'elle invoquait à la fin de la première partie de son superbe programme.
L'âme pure d'un jazz biseauté
Image Ce fut donc à un jazz très soigné, presque académique voire aristocratique, néanmoins partout sensuel et sensible qu'on pouvait assister ; elle : le timbre doux et chaud au léger trémolo cajolant les tympans ; son quatuor : créant un climat intimiste, parfois minimaliste, jouant avec une retenue toute calculée, une simplicité feinte qui dévoilait l'essence et l'âme d'un jazz poli, épuré, discipliné.
Le saxo de Tomlinson surtout retint notre attention : le son rêveur et moelleux, très à la « Stan Getz », portait partout l'empreinte d'un chant couleur or, soleil, miel ; et la voix de sa bien-aimée à la démarche câline d'un chat soyeux y rajoutait des « petits riens » d'une légèreté si enivrante qu'on crut l'entendre souffler : « Plus volatil que moi tu t'évapores… ! »
Si l'on y rajoute que Stacey Kent chante tout aussi bien en français, dont preuve quelques titres de Serge Gainsbourg et d'Henri Salvadore, qu'en anglais, on saura pourquoi le public fut à la fin totalement conquis par cette belle soirée jazz aux accents intensément humains !

900 spectateurs ont assisté, dimanche, au Théâtre, au concert donné par une artiste émouvante et radieuse.
Tout simplement naturelle et rayonnante de bonheur, éblouissante de sensibilité et de fraîcheur, Stacey Kent donne, ce dimanche, un plus que joli concert programmé par la Scène nationale en lien avec Stéphane Kochoyan, directeur d'Orléans'Jazz. Délicatement entourée par Jim Tomlimson, saxophone, Graham Harvey, piano, Matt Skelton, batterie, et Jeremy Brown, contrebasse, celle qui a grandi à New York avant de vivre à Londres, donne un set de deux heures tout imprégné du souffle de « Breakfast on the morning tram » (Blue Note). L'un des titres qui y figure, écrit par son mari, Jim Tomlinson, et Kazuo Ishiguro, charme la salle. « The Ice Hotel » est, en effet, une ballade en forme de souriante déclaration d'amour dont la chanteuse a le délicieux secret. Salle Touchard, place aussi à « Ces petits riens » et à « La saison des pluies », de Serge Gainsbourg, à ce touchant « Au coin du monde », de Benjamin Biolay, ou à ce « Jardin d'hiver » en hommage à Salvador, cet « être tendre, élégant, adorable et chaleureux ». Confiant au public son bonheur d'être là, que la vie et l'amour la comblent comme un privilège, remerciant par ailleurs ses musiciens et le public de l'inspirer, l'artiste est au fil du concert de plus en plus émouvante. S'enchaînent une samba plaisir qui fait tourner les têtes, un « Que reste-t-il de nos amours ? » adorable, ou le « What a wonderful world », de Satchmo, de toute beauté. Fin de concert avec « You've got a friend ». Souriant et merveilleux, un ange vient de nous prendre par la main. --

Stacey Kent : jazzer sur les mots
Pierre Dallaire
Le Soleil
Collaboration spéciale
Si vous êtes du genre à trouver la météo troublante en ce début d'été, laissez-vous tenter par le jazz lumineux et raffiné de l'Américaine Stacey Kent. De passage au Domaine Forget jeudi, où nous avons assisté au spectacle, et au Palais Montcalm vendredi, elle a offert un concert intime et feutré, à l'image de son dernier album.
Difficile en effet de ne pas tomber sous le charme de cette chanteuse qui sait ensoleiller son répertoire en y mêlant joliment mélancolie et humour. Stacey Kent aime raconter et évoquer. Et on y croit rapidement, tant ses chansons lui ressemblent. Les spectateurs ont également apprécié ses interventions toutes en français. Francophile avouée, Stacey Kent a su nous faire rigoler avec sa manière de présenter les pièces. Elle a même pris le temps de rire des quelques petites erreurs laissées au passage.
Accompagnée d'un excellent quatuor (saxophone, piano, batterie et contrebasse), Stacey Kent sait nous faire voyager dans les univers savamment arrangés par Jim Tomlinson, son mari, qui compose maintenant pour elle et qui tient la partie du saxophone en spectacle.
Le style de sa musique et les nombreuses chansons françaises qu'elle avait choisies jeudi évoquent les atmosphères des derniers disques d'Henri Salvador, à qui elle a d'ailleurs rendu hommage. Son interprétation de Jardin d'hiver de ce dernier était vraiment touchante.
Charmante rencontre
On sort d'une soirée avec Stacy Kent charmé, peut-être pas renversé, mais ravi et touché par la rencontre. Si elle avait la voix de Billie Holiday ou d'Ella Fitzgerald, à qui on la compare très maladroitement dans le programme du concert, Stacey Kent ferait effectivement partie des grandes, car elle possède, comme les grandes, le sens du phrasé et, surtout, la science des mots et de leur musicalité.
Ceux qu'elle chante sont choisis avec un grand soin. Son goût prononcé pour la littérature, qu'elle a étudiée avant ses débuts de chanteuse, y est évidemment pour quelque chose. Plusieurs des pièces qu'elle savoure en spectacle ont spécialement été conçues pour elle. Quatre sont de l'écrivain anglais d'origine japonaise Kazuo Ishiguro (The Remains of the Day, Booker Prize 1989). La musique et les arrangements sont de Tomlinson. Notons The Ice Hotel, splendide et remplie d'humour, et Breakfast in the Mornig Tram, qui a donné le titre à son dernier disque.
Son passage au Québec correspond au 26e pays visité dans le cadre de sa tournée mondiale. Lancée en octobre dernier, celle-ci se poursuivra un peu partout en Europe dans les prochains mois.

A Jazz diva with company: Stacey Kent at Béla Bartók National Concert Hall
Stacey Kent's name already sounds familiar for Hungarian audiences. This time the vivid performer has shared the spotlight with her husband, Jim Tomlinson (right). (photo by Dávid Merényi)]
What is a jazz diva like? Contrary to common beliefs, she is not a femme fatale and has nothing to do with an ageless bar singer in her seventies either. A jazz diva is the first to arrive on the stage and the last to leave it; a real pro whose spontaneous moves can surprise not only the audience but her musicians as well; amazing yet friendly, ethereal yet casual. Because jazz is by no means a genre for the "elite audiences" -- about love and sadness, one cannot sing down from a high horse. A jazz diva is the one to introduce her musicians to the audience but she herself needs no introduction for divas are known by everyone. And last but not least a jazz diva is the one to select with a perfect taste. For what is merely a changing fad in pop culture, is a valuable merit in jazz: to chose well from the musical lore.
Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand and Diana Krall are the ones to be usually referred to as jazz divas, and most recently Stacey Kent too. The American born singer is a goddess-like yet deeply human phenomenom. She is a performer to be loved -- it comes through from her every move that she loves music and loves her audience that in turn adore their singer.
They adore her even if she confesses that she can't speak a word of Hungarian but she has a favourite song from France, "Le Jardin d'Hiver", which she translates into English for us to understand: "Winter Garden". The audience welcomes the anouncement with such enthusiasm as if she tried to sing their favourite folk song in broken Hungarian.
It is a pity that the name of this world-famous jazz singer has hardly been known in Hungary so far. Stacey Kent was born in New York and studied to be a literary scholar but in the end she ended up as a cosmopolitan jazz singer living in England most of the time. I suspect, however, that her prior studies has not much to do with the quality praised by so many of her music critics: her crystal clear pronounciation. (It is a rare experience to hear classic jazz pieces sung with such clearness that even poor speakers of English can understand them with ease.) Stacey Kent has met her husband and regular performing partner, Jim Tomlinson tenor saxophonist in England. It was It was him who persuaded her to pursue a career as profesionnal singer.
All that I wrote about jazz divas are certainly true for Stacey Kent who, for Hungarian audiences, debuted on Thursday at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall. She selects with an excellent taste. Instead of their own original compositions, she and her band rather performs the great classics of jazz from Cole Porter and Gershwin to Paul Simon and Duke Ellington. She approaches this classic lore with due respect yet in a way that is unmistakenly unique: she plays with the lyrics, the tune and even with her microphone; yet her every move and gesture have a clear place and importance, which is also true for the brief periods of silence in her sometimes staccato performance. During these silent intermezzos the only noise to be heard in the hall is the quietly resonating sound of the air conditioner...
Kent treats her partner musicians with the same respect that she shows to her great predecessors of jazz. At her Budapest concert, apart from several classic pieces, she mainly sang from her new record (The Boy Next Door) and from her husband's third album (The Lyric). For Jim Tomlinson is mostly known as Kent's accompanying musician, although he is an outstanding musician himself. The diva seemingly gave the critics "the finger" in her own subtle way when unexpectedly anounced her favourite solo tune from her husband, the tune that Tomlin had played to her every night for months. Now we could also hear it, and while her husband was playing Kent moved out of the spotlight to the edge of the stage.
That is how divas are. -- Roland Borsos
All About Jazz - Dec 9, 2007
Over at Birdland Stacey Kent greeted holiday visitors with tunes from her impressive new CD on Blue Note. Breakfast On The Morning Tram is a collection of pop covers ("So Many Stars", "What A Wonderful World") French love songs ("Ces Petits Riens", "La Saison Des Pluies") and originals from her husband/saxophonist Jim Tomlinson and author Kazuo Ishiguro ("I Wish I Could go Travelling Again", "The Ice Hotel" and the title tune). These latter compositions are particularly delightful and help to establish the CD as a breakout of sorts for the New York-born, London-based chanteuse. With the expanded repertoire of this outing Kent will, I'm sure, gain appeal with cabaret, folk and funk audiences as well as jazzers.
On the new tour Kent and Tomlinson revamped their group bringing aboard pianist Graham Harvey, bassist Dave Chamberlain, drummer Matt Skelton and guitarist John Parricelli. These musicians contributed to a cohesion and conceptuality that held the Birdland audience spellbound. Kent's successful understated imprimatur gains new impetus with these players (particularly Harvey) and, if anything, her tranquil deliberations acquire new dimensions. For those who can't make it to the live performances Breakfast On The Morning Tram will provided substantial listening pleasure on your new holiday iPods.

Singer Evoking Both Sunlight and Twilight
By STEPHEN HOLDEN
October 6, 2005
Stacey Kent has a voice as hard and bright as a diamond in sunlight. It could slice through glass. When she applied its sharpened edge to numbers like "If I Were a Bell" and "The Trolley Song" on Tuesday evening at Birdland, the shards she cut glistened like points of light reflected by a mirror ball.
But Ms. Kent, who is appearing with a jazz quartet at the club through Saturday, also has a softer twilight side.
Slipping quietly through songs like "I Got Lost in His Arms" arranged as a murmuring bossa nova, and her encore, "Star Dust," at the first of two shows, she conveyed a kittenish sweetness tinged with wistfulness.
Such contrasts define Ms. Kent, whose husband, the saxophonist Jim Tomlinson, plays the role of protector, commentator and appreciator in their musical relationship.
Several times during the show his saxophone slid in behind the singer and enfolded her in warm, embracing tones. Mr. Tomlinson's winding, circular horn phrasing comes out of the Stan Getz school of dreamy lyricism; he is an unabashed romantic. Ms. Kent, however, is a wary one; she doesn't lie still for very long.
Besides Mr. Tomlinson, the singer's quartet includes Art Hirahara on piano, Mark McLean on drums, and Ben Wolfe on bass. One of Ms. Kent's strongest groups, it finds her at ease with the drums, which has not always been the case. She tossed off Bob Dorough's tricky "Devil May Care" with an airy confidence.
Late in the set, she confessed to harboring a monthlong obsession with Cole Porter's "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," a gold digger's proclamation of undying loyalty to a sugar daddy, immortalized in 1938 by Mary Martin.
If Ms. Kent made a promising first stab at a song that is ideally suited to her coy side, she ventured only halfway into its slippery depths.
Stacey Kent continues at 9 and 11 p.m. through Saturday at Birdland, 315 West 44th Street, Clinton, (212) 581-3080.
CABARET REVIEW; A Flirtatious Soundtrack To Romance
By STEPHEN HOLDEN
Published: Thursday, September 4, 2003
Sometimes the chemistry between musicians and the chemistry of love get all tangled up in wonderful ways. When watching the jazz singer Stacey Kent make music with her husband, the tenor saxophonist Jim Tomlinson, it is easy to imagine yourself eavesdropping on intimate pillow talk by besotted partners in a luxury suite atop some faraway pop-jazz Olympus.
On Tuesday the atmosphere was heavy with romance at the opening-night show of Ms. Kent's third engagement at the Algonquin Hotel's Oak Room, through Sept. 27. I had the illusion of Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw and Jude Law as a shy English horn player wafting across a movie screen in a music-drenched romantic comedy.
It is only recently that Ms. Kent, a native New Yorker who lives in London and is a star overseas, has started bringing American audiences up to speed. Her singular voice glides along a spectrum that runs from brittle and piercing (think of a jazzy Sandy Duncan) to a delicate whisper that trails off into a light, flirtatious vibrato (Blossom Dearie).
She has a voice that a less musically savvy performer might use as a building block for creating a cute, smiley persona, but Ms. Kent carries it in more sophisticated directions. Her stripped-down interpretations of standards reveal the lyrics with an unblinking clarity. A torch song like ''Say It Isn't So'' becomes a wistful dry-eyed response to an unpleasant wake-up call. She bares the cynicism of ''Makin' Whoopee,'' a song that under its perky, upbeat surface issues a warning about the pitfalls of a hasty marriage (''that's what you get, folks'').
Done as a silky bossa nova, with Mr. Tomlinson's saxophone winding its arms around Ms. Kent's voice, the starchy ''People Will Say We're in Love'' takes on a relaxed, erotic glow. For an engagement in which the program may vary from show to show, the drumless ensemble is filled out with Colin Oxley on guitar, Pat O'Leary on bass and Matthew Fries on piano. They swing.

- Author Salman Rushdie is sharing his PEN Pinter prize with Syrian journalist, lawyer, and human rights activist Mazen Darwish. Darwish has been imprisoned in Syria since February 2012, where he is currently awaiting trial on charges of publicizing terrorist acts, according to English PEN. The founder of the Syrian Centre for Media and Freedom of Expression could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. "Darwish courageously fought for civilised values—free expression, human rights—in one of the most dangerous places in the world," said Rushdie, speaking at last night's ceremony at the British Library in London. "His continued detention is arbitrary and unjust. He should be freed immediately, and we must hope this award may help, by shining a light on his plight."
English PEN, a British free speech organization, established the joint prize five years ago in the name of Nobel Prize-winning British playwright Harold Pinter, who died of cancer in 2008. Half of the prize is awarded to a British author whose work helps defend freedom of speech and justice. Rushdie was selected for his "many years of speaking out for freedom of expression," according to judges chair Maureen Freely. "When he sees writers unjustly vilified, prosecuted or forced into exile, he takes a personal interest." The other half of the prize goes to an international writer who has been persecuted for doing similar work. [The Guardian] READ FULL STORY

text: "All of this has taught me yet another reason why pushing for higher breastfeeding rates... is so often horribly, terribly misguided. Behind those rates are real people, some of whom are going through real torment; it's cold and immoral to sacrifice people who are already in a state of pain and turmoil for the sake of a statistic. The militant variety of breastfeeding advocacy is of course the wrong way to go; it's unethical not just to those who can't, shouldn't, or don't want to breastfeed, but to those who can and do. But even the middle-of-the-road, common, everyday breastfeeding advocacy—advocacy that already comes across to a lot of bottle-feeding parents as simplistic, unrealistic, patronizing, paternalistic, and even cruel and dehumanizing—seems outrageously inappropriate when your pregnancy ventures into the hairy world of high-risk. Even soft-toned, pitying articles stating that not breastfeeding is not a new mom's fault, it's the fault of society, our culture, the health care system, family members, doctors, nurses, midwives, bosses—these essays may employ a soft glove ....they're still sometimes a slap in the face."

Copy, transform, combine—according to documentary director and writer Kirby Ferguson, these are the concepts underpinning all creativity. "Everything is a remix," Ferguson declared on the TEDGlobal stage, expressing his belief that the ultimate driver of progress in the arts, technology, and society is borrowing from others. As the free flow of Internet culture persistently collides with patents, copyrights, and our understanding of intellectual ownership, Ferguson reminds us that although the mash-up might seem a relatively new phenomenon, the ethos behind it is not. He recently spoke with TED.com staff writer Ben Lillie.
BL: What were your own biggest influences in looking at remix culture?
KF: First and foremost, there was the first wave of "copy left" people, like Lawrence Lessig and Siva Vaidhyanathan. Brett Gaylor made a movie called RiP!: The Remix Manifest, and then there were a few other documentaries, like Good Copy Bad Copy and Steal This Movie.
There was this first wave back just after Napster, when there were just a lot of crazy lawsuits going on. People were starting to download things and chop them up and make new stuff—plenty of piracy, for sure—but some strong reactions were coming from the corporate realm. So those guys did a lot to publicize that issue and to turn the tide a bit. They pushed back hard, and I think they changed the conversation. But there was nobody addressing the underlying reality, which is that we're all copying stuff. We're all copying and transforming and combining—that's really all that we can do. You can't get something from nothing. You can't just summon it out of the air. So I wanted to talk about this—that we are all plagiarists in some fashion—and to tackle it from a creative and historical angle, rather than a legal angle.
BL: When you're using bits and pieces from all of these people who have influenced you, are you consciously putting them in as references and saying, "I'm going to use this from here and this from here," or is it more of a gestalt that just influences what you're producing?
KF: It's a bit of both. Sometimes I'm knowingly sampling stuff. Other times, I've done a bunch of research and it's all gone into my head. It's become mine at that point and it's all getting blended together and I've forgotten where a bunch of the stuff came from. Certainly there's times where I know, "This is the bit from Steven Johnson's book." But there are other times where it's basically my own take on the subject matter.
BL: And so when you do have that situation where it's all coming into your brain and then coming out—how do you go about honoring the influencers?
KF: It's a challenge, honestly. I wish there were better technological solutions for this. When you're copying and pasting, things get confusing fast. Especially if you're copying little clips of video, or audio, or photos or whatever, you can really lose track of where stuff came from. It's something you have to work into your workflow; you've got to keep a database that gives you a little bit of metadata about where stuff came from.
BL: What's the creative difference between doing a cover song versus creating an original based on another song?
KF: I'm not a musician, but I think they are clearly quite different. When you're doing a cover, you've heard it in its finished form. You're absorbing in a different way. It triggers your imagination to say, "Oh, it would be great if it was slower and on a piano" or whatever. Whereas, if you're writing a song—and sometimes songs are very much based on other songs, but sometimes not so much—it's a more advanced task. It used to be that when musicians were starting out, like the Stones or the Beatles or Dylan, they were expected to sing cover songs first. That was how you found your voice. I think that's a good way to get going. Some people do super-radical things with them, like Jimi Hendrix's cover of "All Along the Watchtower," which really doesn't sound like Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." It's basically an original song.

NEW YORK, October 31, 2012. In any other recent year, Sheridan Square in Greenwich Village seethes on Halloween.
Usually on this block, come costume time, you see police and news helicopters bleating overhead and dueling searchlights playing over countless revelers who richly define modern bacchanalia.
But tonight, only a silence, strangely deafening.
Heading downtown from work, brother Erik and I crossed a new border earlier this evening, one that separates empowered New Yorkers north of 34th street from we who thought we were plugged in.
Park Avenue descended suddenly into a darkness not experienced recently on Manhattan—the kind prevalent upstate or in wilder places inside and outside America.
What to make of sudden exposure to city life without electricity or heat, and so many attendant perils?
Drifting unsteadily toward an early sleep, sunny Grandfather Ralph came to mind. Born in 1898, scant years after electricity was introduced, he passed away in 1994 on this same night, a lucky moment to leave the world, in some cultures.
Ralph was ever so fiercely proud to be an American. In 1970, he explained to Erik and to me that we should proffer no excuse but proudly serve in Vietnam, even if we were drafted in error. No modern sacrifice paled in comparison to those made in birth of this nation, or when cousin fought cousin as happened between 1861 and 1865 in our family and in many others. This stern warning from such a serene man made lasting impressions on young boys just 14 and 12 in what was a different American age.
Grandfather Ralph entertained Erik and me in a glorious Santa Barbara summer as he grieved over the sudden loss of his wife Margaret, an accomplished woman of pioneer Montana stock who we never actually met. How touching it was then to be with him and see the mist in his eyes as he showed us through their favorite places—the gardens, the beaches and the dry mountains above the ocean.
A special treat was to spend time then with Great-grandfather Will whose first memory was the Chicago fire of 1871 that he witnessed as a two year old.
In contrast to Ralph, Will was a stern man who never drank a drop of alcohol. During each of his adult years, all 85 of them, he kept record of every penny received and every one spent or invested. Thankfully we retain these records though we lost Will months after our return to the West Village apartment where sleep still eludes me.
Patiently, Will in his raspy voice and Ralph in his bouncy one, explained to us bits and pieces of our own story in America.
We learned of Eli Cook, Mayor of Springfield, Illinois from 1846 until 1849 when he rushed for California. Wiring home to Springfield from Nevada City, Mayor Eli was excited to announce his imminent return with hard won riches after four long winters. Instead, our ancestor Julia eventually greeted her father's coffin. After that fateful wire was sent, a disgruntled customer murdered Eli over a dispute involving a silly barrel of pickles.
There is a shot of Mayor Eli's California store, done in 1852 by a visiting photographer. Perhaps this picture and a desire to capture memories inspired Eli's widow, Sarah Cook, to become a photographer long before women commonly worked outside the home. Sarah practiced her trade alone, just near where Abraham Lincoln lived. Ancestors played with Lincolns and other neighbors, life moved forward and solitary Sarah was eventually buried in Oak Ridge cemetery during 1893, well away from Springfield's favorite, adopted son.
Sarah's daughter, our Julia, was a woman of gumption. Julia married James Gormley, a much older miner who had crossed to California with Mayor Eli. Fortunately, she kept a detailed journal of her life starting in February 1860 scant months before she left Springfield for Colorado territory as a newlywed of 23.
The life of Julia Cook Gormley is one profile in determination and grit. Starting on highs, she eventually watched her only husband squander their hard-won winnings in "can't miss" ventures of that heady pioneer era that did miss, and some spectacularly.
Five children came along the way: two died in childhood and two more before she herself passed away in 1920. For her surviving children's years, Virginia City, Montana was home—a place made notorious by the exploits of vigilantes and outlaws, by Calamity Jane and in the shadows of Boot Hill. James Gormley is buried there just outside Virginia City in a grave still tended to this day.
Austin Carlos Gormley, Julia's only surviving son, left school around Halloween 1881 as a 14 year old, two days after the death of his father. He then worked as a newsboy for the Madisonian, a paper that still operates today in Virginia City, now greatly diminished from Montana's gold rush days.
After four years, Julia uprooted Austin and his sister Mabel Montana and moved them to Ann Arbor, Michigan where they enrolled at the High School. Great-grandfather Austin and Great-Aunt May subsequently, if briefly, went from strength to strength.
Austin was valedictorian in high school, standout in law at University of Michigan and a stirring orator. In 1891, he won a speaking contest considering a question worth asking today: Quo Warranto? (by whose authority?).
Following graduation, Austin practiced law and then entered politics, nearly winning a seat in the U.S. Congress following service as a trial attorney
May went on to study elocution at the New York School for Expression, performing at Carnegie Hall with fellow classmates and teaching many places back east and home in Montana.
Like Mayor Eli, May and Austin were eventually lost too soon. May succumbed to illness in 1901 in Great Falls where Austin settled, just next door to painter and sculptor Charlie Russell. Austin died visiting his in-laws in White Sulphur Springs on a hunting trip in 1909—the only doctor in town was too drunk to treat his appendicitis.
Musing back over memories on a challenging Halloween night, we can also try to imagine stories that never end up being told.
How much genius and inspiration is smothered outside America where more than 6 billion souls reside?
How many threads to our past have been snipped too soon?
How many lessons could help bring context to the vexations most face in the wired present?
With so many thoughts running riot last night, sleep came on visions of a tranquil day in New York harbor with my father, scientist Bill.
Sun glinting off far gentler waves than Sandy produced, tall ships preening, our craft gently rolling—4 July 1976 was a moment to treasure.
Father and son imagined then what various ancestors must have sought and what they left behind. We tried to picture what they ate, how they slept and how they cared for those on the long journey to new lives. And from then it has ever been abundantly clear just how special America is and how lucky each one of us is to be born here and to live here, whether pauper or potentate.
Tonight, we all lost one day to put on costumes.
However, we should instead grieve for those few who did not survive Sandy—men like Bill Sword who was felled by nature after having been cut cruelly by man.
Bereft of electrical power, chilled in the cold, all of us stand today inside America on the shoulders of sung and unsung giants.
The struggles of your ancestors and of mine are the lessons we need to cherish and to share, not our possessions or new kinds of unfulfilling experiences tethered across tenuous wires.

Portobello Mushroom Cooked like a Steak
If you prefer, you can substitute large shiitake mushrooms, porcini, and thick slices of puffball mushrooms for the Portobellos.
This is a meatless dish, but not a vegetarian one—the meat is on the side. If you prefer, you can substitute large shiitake mushrooms, porcini, and thick slices of puffball mushrooms for the Portobellos.
- 1/2 cup Mission Olive Oil, plus 2 tablespoons
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 1/2 cups double-strength Chicken Stock, or 3 cups canned
- low-salt chicken broth boiled until reduced by half
- Gray salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 4 large fresh Portobello mushrooms, gills removed
- 4 good handfuls baby spinach
- 1 recipe Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Soft Polenta
Prepare the grill and let it burn down to medium-hot coals. While waiting for the grill to be ready, make the sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the shallot and cook briefly until soft and light brown. Add 1 teaspoon of the thyme and stir. Then add the red wine, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add the stock, return to a boil, and continue to cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Season with salt and pepper.
Measure 2 tablespoons sauce into a medium bowl and whisk in the red wine vinegar. While whisking rapidly, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Taste for salt and pepper. Set the vinaigrette aside until ready to assemble the dish. Whisk the butter into the remaining sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste, and keep warm.
a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, the garlic, and the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Holding the mushrooms one at a time over the bowl, spoon the marinade over them and let the excess run back into the bowl. Repeat until the mushrooms have been well coated all over. (This method prevents the mushrooms from absorbing too much marinade.) Lay the mushrooms on a plate and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Place the mushrooms, gill side down, on the grill and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Remove and keep warm.
Add the spinach to the vinaigrette and toss well. Divide the potatoes among 4 warm plates. Top with the mushrooms, gill side up, and spoon the sauce onto the mushrooms and over the potatoes. Top with the spinach salad and serve immediately.Learn More

Barbeque-Stuffed Bell Pepper Boats
The different colored peppers add flare to the table when presented.
- 4 large bell peppers, assorted colors
- 2 cups dry rice
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 cup celery
- 4 tomatoes
- 2 mild onions
- 4 T Bar-b-que Spice Rub
- 2 t Salish Sea Salt
- Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Shredded cheddar or cheese of your choice
- Lemon Citrus Olives (Optional)
Cook rice as you normally would, adding Bar-b-que Spice Rub and Salish Salt to the water before cooking. While the rice is cooking coarsely chop the carrots, celery, tomatoes, and onions, putting them in a large mixing bowl when done. Wash, slice, and hollow bell peppers lengthwise so that you have eight boats (At this point you can take the bell peppers and place them cut side up on a preheated grill to give them char lines for presentation.) When rice is fully cooked add to mixing bowl of veggies. Drizzle with Garlic EVOO to taste. (While the exact amount of oil that you use is up to you, you want enough moisture so that the rice mixture is very sticking.) Mix well and generously spoon into bell pepper boats, placing boats in large, ungreased Pyrex pan. At this point the dish can be covered and refrigerated for up to 48 hours. Place uncovered in a preheated 450 degree oven for about 30-45 minutes. The exact cooking time will depend on the core temperature of the dish, if it is coming from the refrigerator it will take the whole 45 minutes, or more, to fully reheat. The bell peppers should be firm, but soft to the touch when they are done cooking. Once they are fully cooked, pull out of the oven, and sprinkle with the cheese, and place a single olive in the middle of the pepper (optional). Place back in the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve and enjoy!Learn More

High Elevation Lavender
Our Lavender – High Elevation essential oil is one of our most popular Lavenders. No wonder this oil is so universally appreciated with its uplifting, sweet-herbaceous, green floral aroma!
Lavandula angustifolia is the true lavender (as opposed to spike lavender, lavandin, etc.). It is produced throughout the world, although France is considered the premier growing region, and is the source of two of our best-selling Lavender essential oils (High Elevation and Wild).
Lavender is the most popular and most often used essential oil here in the United States. It can be blended into many formulas, and has been a part of fine fragrances for centuries. Lavender is a middle to top note and can be used as a perfume modifier; it can also help mask unpleasant aromas of oils you want to use it in aromatherapy blends.
In the world of essential oils, Lavender is one of (if not) the most commonly used due to its versatility and pleasant scent. It can be safely applied to a broad array of conditions; to soothe burns, take the sting out of insect bites, calm headaches and anxiety, as well as invigorate the senses. Lavender also makes a wonderful addition to skin care for any skin type products due to its ability to balance the skin and soothe irritation. In Ayurvedic terms, this oil has cooling and drying energy to help relax the mind, soothe tension and anxiety, ease frustration and pent-up emotions, and to evoke calmness and composure. This is one oil that should be part of everyone's collection!
Aromatic Profile: Very fine green floral, sweet herbaceous Lavender – penetrating, clear and fresh.
Appearance: Clear, water-white, very mobile liquid.
Use: Aromatherapy, natural perfumery, body care, incense, cleaning/room fragrance, and as a single scent.
Blending Suggestions: Add drop by drop to your blends until the desired effect is achieved.
Blends Well With: Bergamot, Cedarwood, Chamomile, Citronella, Clary Sage, Clove, Geranium, Jasmine, Labdanum, Laurel Leaf, Lemon, Mandarin, Oakmoss, Orange, Patchouli, Rose, Rosemary, Thyme, Vetiver. We also recommend blending the different types of lavenders we carry to create a unique, complex lavender accord.
Safety Considerations: Dilute before using. A patch test should be performed before use for those with sensitive skin.
Customer Reviews for Lavender - High Elevation
- Fresh, clean, crisp. Review by Lisa
- I love lavender! I have purchased many lavender essential oils from various suppliers over the years, and I have not found one that compares to this chemotype of lavender. I was looking for a fresh clean, crisp, full fragrant lavender that didn't smell champhorous. Look no more! This is the one. It smells as fresh as my lavender plants growing in my garden. I'm in love! (Posted on 3/17/13)
- A pure, fresh and clean Therapeutic Lavender Review by Debi
- I researched for a while to find the very best oils I could. I learned all about the extraction process to keep the oils pure and therapeutic. This is how I found Eden Botanicals. This lavender is so pure, fresh, and clean smelling, it assures me I made the correct choice of companies. I have used this lavender already in my diffuser, and it filled my home with such a wonderful aroma, keeping us relaxed and happy. I have also used it to clean my mattress, and an area rug. Using baking soda mixed with the lavender freshens and cleans fabrics of all types, naturally with no harm to the fabric. I highly recommend this oil for all the therapeutic values it has.

Hey there,
My name is Kyla Pigoni and I am a senior journalism major at Ithaca College, with minors in honors and legal studies. Currently, I am focused on a career in the entertainment industry with the goal of becoming a television producer.
My goal for the future has changed considerably as a result of two internships I have held over the course of my college education. While journalism will always hold a special place in my heart, I am now focused on a career in the entertainment industry that will allow me to utilize my love for writing, organization and creativity. I was fortunate enough to spend the Fall 2011 semester at the Ithaca College Los Angeles satellite campus where I interned for the late night show Conan. As the talent department intern, I was given the opportunity to learn about the different aspects of putting on a television show, as well as all the work that goes into booking guests. During the summer of 2012 I lived in NYC and interned for The Colbert Report, where I worked in production and audience. As a result of these two shows, I am now interested in rising through the ranks at either a studio, network or within an individual television show.
I'm often asked why I continued to major in journalism after discovering that I wanted to pursue a career in television. The answer is quite simple--despite a change of field, the skills used as a journalists are easily transferable. I discovered during my internships that the world of television production is best learned through hands on experience, while the ability to write, interview, transcribe and communicate are classroom attributes that can be used in any field. I have found all of these to be extremely useful in the world of television production and hope to continue perfecting them on my path to becoming a producer.
To the left you can find examples of my work, as well as my resume.

Last month, Thomas Jane got in a bit of hot water when he chatted with Vulture about his male gigolo drama, Hung. "I told HBO, the year I end up with a penis in my mouth is the last year of the show," Jane said then, though he walked back that comment a few days later, telling us, "Of course, everything I said was meant in good humor, good fun. You know, I'm a fan of the gay community, just because I've grown up in Hollywood around them." In fact, Jane's history with the Hollywood gay community goes back even further than that, because even though Jane says his Hung character will never go gay, he revealed to the L.A. Times over the weekend that he used to turn same-sex tricks himself when he moved to Los Angeles as a teenager.
Here's the excerpt:
You've gotten a lot of grief in the gay media ... here's your chance [to explain yourself].
Hey, you grow up as an artist in a big city, as James Dean said, you're going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don't accept people's sexual flavors. You know, when I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I was 18. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?
Do you feel that experience had any cost or was it just doing what you had to do?
You're a lot more open to experimentation as a young man. And for me, being a young artist and broke in Los Angeles, I was exploring my sexual identity. And probably because of my middle-class, white blue-collar upbringing, I would have never had the opportunity to confront some of my own fears and prejudices had I not been hungry enough to be forced to challenge myself in that way.
So then it was productive for you in terms of self-knowledge?
Yeah, absolutely. It blew the doors off of my conventional upbringing and thinking and opened up possibilities for me that were akin to World War III. And then you actually have a choice, and I chose to be a heterosexual guy because that's what my DNA dictates and my nurture dictates that I am.
Then is that a choice?
I don't know. I think up to a point it's a choice. But I'll tell you what — it's not a choice until you're open enough to experience both male and female sexuality. Until you've tasted the food, you don't know whether you'll like it or not, as my mom always said.
Thomas Jane: willing to talk about anything!

John Paul II High School, a coeducational Catholic college preparatory school in Plano, TX, has selected Dallas-based DeepNines Technologies' iTrust security platform to control emerging Internet threats.
The school, which recently launched a laptop program that provides students with a computer and access to a campus-wide wireless network, revisited its existing security infrastructure to ensure that it was managing Internet access and enforcing acceptable use policies. To get complete network visibility and insight into its Internet traffic, John Paul II High School participated in the DeepNines Internet Content Audit (ICA) program, which in turn provided the institution with the evidence necessary to make the switch to the more robust security system.
"Giving students access to Internet was necessary to allow them to truly benefit from our technology-oriented curriculum, however Internet access comes with an added layer of risk," said Kristopher Thurston, technical specialist for the school, in a statement released last week. "With DeepNines iTrust in place as a barrier between our students and the Internet, we are now confident that our students have access to all the good educational content available to them while keeping unsuitable content and applications out."

She's never short on sex appeal, and Lindsay Lohan puts her mojo to work for the Day 17 installment of the 2014 Advent Calendar from Love magazine.
She's always been great with children, and on Tuesday (December 16) Kate Middleton showed up at the new 23rd Poplar Beaver Scout Colony in East London. Sporting a black Scout hoodie and skinny jeans, the Duchess of Cambridge learned about various disabilities and participated in some fun activities as part of the Scout Association's "Better Prepared" campaign.
Enjoying some downtime this holiday season, Justin Bieber hung out with his gal pals Hailey Baldwin and Kendall Jenner.
She can't wait to host "Saturday Night Live" this weekend and Amy Adams teamed with cast member Taran Killam for a series of silly videos.
She built a multi-decade career on her flawless live performances, but Mariah Carey seems to have hit a snag as of late.
While giving a concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on Monday (December 15), the "All I Want For Christmas Is You" songstress had quite a few awkward moments that equaled out to a less-than-stellar show. Mariah lost her shoe at one point and while singing "Hero," she broke down in tears and had to momentarily stop the gig.
Showing off her posing prowess, a Prada-clad Jessie J is featured on the front of Glamour UK's January 2015 issue.
Repenting of his heinous sins, Stephen Collins has released a statement to People magazine regarding allegations that he sexually molested multiple teenage girls from 1973 to 1994.
The "7th Heaven" star admits he victimized three girls in the past, but he has "not had an impulse to act out in any such way" in over two decades.
As two of the hottest trendsetting teens on the planet, Kylie and Kendall Jenner have grown accustomed to being under constant scrutiny from the public.
"Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory—like, as if you're going to miss out on some wave or momentum—then you're never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then you're truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You're turning yourself into a bag of chips."
