The beats are sweet, and the words often have an electric charge in "Holler if Ya Hear Me," a new Broadway musical inspired by the lyrics of the popular but troubled rapper Tupac Shakur, who was shot and killed at 25 in Las Vegas in 1996. Unfortunately, much else about this ambitious show, which opened on Thursday at the Palace Theater, feels heartfelt but heavy-handed, as it punches home its message with a relentlessness that may soon leave you numb to the tragic story it's trying to tell.
Written by Todd Kreidler and directed by Kenny Leon, a Tony winner this year for the revival of "A Raisin in the Sun," the show admirably yanks the jukebox musical, which has mostly been mired in the hit parade of the baby-boomer years, into the last decade of the 20th century. It was then that Shakur's raw, propulsive music struck a powerful chord, especially among disaffected black (and white) youth living in poverty amid explosive violence, while America was supposedly firing on all economic cylinders.
But while Shakur's songs retain their scorching ability to paint pictures with words, describing the challenges faced by Americans living in urban slums then (and now, when the show is set), they tend to cover a limited range of themes: the diminished opportunities for young blacks; the unholy trinity of poverty, drugs and violence; the enduring strength of black women. (Mostly not included are Shakur's braggadocio-laden celebrations of what he called the "thug life.")
Perhaps as a result, Mr. Kreidler's book falls into a few predictable grooves, while the characters never emerge as more than thinly drawn types: the ex-con trying to shake his criminal past; the drug dealer who harbors a deep affection for his mother; the girlfriend who looks on with a mixture of hope and despair; the hotheaded would-be gangster bent on avenging a friend's killing. (No one character is meant to represent Shakur himself.)
Drawing on themes that Shakur rapped about in his scabrous, four-letter-word-filled lyrics (no one has taken a kid-friendly Magic Marker to them, I'm glad to report), the musical attempts to draw a vision of black life in urban America that acknowledges the danger, the violence and the self-destruction but also the hope, the courage and the potential for transcendence. To this end, it employs more than a dozen of Shakur's songs and a couple of his poems. But the lyrical density of rap — in words per minute, many of the songs are off the charts — makes an uneasy fit for theatrical presentation, since the sizzling phrases fly by almost before you can grasp their meaning.
The musical's obvious antecedent is "West Side Story," the 1957 classic about rival street gangs in Manhattan. "Holler" is set in an unnamed city in the Midwest, but it, too, focuses on the violence that eventually erupts between two free-form gangs (one unseen) competing for supremacy. The unofficial leader of one is Vertus (Christopher Jackson), who sees drug dealing as the rare economic opportunity available to him. When his former friend John (Saul Williams) is released from jail, Vertus tries to give him a leg up by cutting him into a big deal.
Chastened and embittered by his years in prison, John has decided to go straight. He opts for a low-wage job at the car-salvage company where Vertus's brother, Benny (Donald Webber Jr.), works, which is run by Griffy (Ben Thompson), the lone white character in the musical. Griffy and Benny have a plan to head out to California and start their own business, but in a somewhat blurrily staged sequence (following the song "Dopefiend's Diner," about the accidental shooting of a girl), we learn that Benny, glimpsed only briefly in the show's opening scene, has been shot and killed by members of a rival gang.
The remainder of the musical depicts the divergent reactions to Benny's death. Each of the central male characters, who also include Benny's aggrieved best friends, Anthony (Dyllon Burnside) and Darius (Joshua Boone), fights a war within his soul that pits the impulse for revenge — and the tug of violent nihilism that spreads like an unseen poison through the neighborhood — against the knowledge that more killing cannot salve the wound of Benny's loss. From the sidelines, the two principal female characters — Corinne (a vibrant Saycon Sengbloh), John's ex- and Vertus's current girlfriend, and Mrs. Weston (the veteran Tonya Pinkins, in strong voice), Vertus's ex-addict mother — both urge the men to forsake the dead ends of drugs and guns.
The talented, mostly young cast gives many of the individual numbers a surging lift. Mr. Williams, himself a poet and rapper, best captures the seething intensity that gives so many of Shakur's songs their heat. He's mesmerizing when he performs "Me Against the World," an angry, eerily prophetic song about the decks stacked against young black men like him.
Mr. Jackson, a veteran of several Broadway shows, approaches his Vertus role with a more laid-back vibe. He performs one of Shakur's best-known and most moving songs, "Dear Mama," a love letter to a mother whose flaws are acknowledged but whose struggle against tough odds demands respect. But Vertus makes for a somewhat sanitized version of a drug lord, and despite the many references to drugs in the songs' lyrics, the musical never really depicts the brutal effects of addiction on black neighborhoods.
In fact, although its language may be far harsher than that of "West Side Story," in essence "Holler if Ya Hear Me" feels no more hard hitting. It, too, features generous doses of kinetic, street-style choreography, in this case by Wayne Cilento, much of which feels like a throwback to the 1990s: "In Living Color" meets Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" tour.
Although violence eventually erupts, the emphasis throughout is on the life-worn but resilient spirits of the people fighting against forces that threaten to tear the community apart. The bedraggled, itinerant preacher character — he seems to have wandered in from a play by August Wilson (with whom Mr. Kreidler often worked) — is far from the only one who has a sermonizing speech or two. "Remember one thing," Corinne says. "Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that."
Such moralizing gets to be a drag. As John says, when Griffy asks him why the neighborhood kids turn to crime, "America been eyeing me like a criminal since the first time I stepped by myself into a drugstore." For the audiences likely to be attending the show, this and the musical's other pointed messages about social inequality definitely don't need to be hollered to be heard.

The best 4th of July I've ever spent was with my family in 2008. My brother was leaving for the Army a week later and I was determined that we would spend one last holiday together before everything changed
Mommy N had always taken us to Coney Island during the summer when we were children. This time, we only lived a couple of blocks away from the amusement park. The day started off with rain,which made me mad because I had bought Bubba a new bathing suit and I couldn't use it. But I refused to let it get me down. Our tradition continued with park rides,arcade games,amd plenty of food. Bubba was 7 months old and her first ride was the carousel.
I'm glad we did that trip because since then so mich has changed. Some of the changes were good,some just downright tragic. But on this day,everything was …perfect!
The best moment in time!!!

Greenpeace International understands the move is taking place by prisoner train. Lawyers for the thirty who tried to visit them in Murmansk this morning were told by officials at the detention centre that all thirty were already being transported.Ben Ayliffe, Greenpeace International Arctic campaigner, commented: "We don't yet know if the relocation of these wrongfully accused people will see an improvement in terms of their detention conditions and basic human rights. We are doing everything in our power to ensure that the Arctic 30 are transported in a humane way."The most common method of transporting detainees in Russia is by a prison wagon, which can be attached to either a passenger train or cargo train. Detainees are placed in special carriages, containing cells. These cells have two wooden bunk beds on each side, so there is space for four people. It is not confirmed the 30 are travelling in such conditions.
"From the information we have these cars are not heated," said Ayliffe. "We have advised the 30 to dress in warm clothes and shoes. We have also organised prompt deliveries of additional supplies of warm outfits, in addition to the garments that we have been able to get to them in the last couple of weeks."Why the Arctic 30 are being moved - to St Petersburg, according to persistent rumours - is still unclear. It might take from 24 to 72 hours before it becomes clear which detention centre or centres the Greenpeace International prisoners and freelance journalists have been moved to. There are many pre-trial detention centers in St Petersburg.Ben Ayliffe added: "At the heart of the matter is the simple basic truth that their incarceration is unlawful. These people are neither pirates, nor hooligans, they are innocent. They should be released as soon as possible. Peacefully protesting for the protection of the pristine Arctic is not a crime, it is a great service to mankind. The detainees shouldn't be in jail at all, they should be free to join their families and to restart their lives."St Petersburg has some daylight in the winter months, unlike Murmansk. And families and consular officials would find it easier to visit the 30. But there is no guarantee that conditions inside any new detention centre will be any better than in Murmansk.As of now the Arctic 30 are still charged with both piracy and hooliganism. No official confirmation has been given by the Russian authorities that the charge of piracy has been dropped, even though they clearly stated to the world's media that this absurd charge would be withdrawn. The Arctic 30 now stand accused of both offences, which carry a maximum sentence of 15 and 7 years, respectively.Contacts:Greenpeace International press desk: +31 20 718 24 70 or Greenpeace International picture desk: +31 20 718 24 71Greenpeace International video desk: +31 20 718 24 72

Friends! We've decided to tour our home state of Wyoming, and here's why:
Being from Wyoming is something we've always been proud of. Teenage Bottlerocket has made several friends around the state in the past ten years and we wanted to show our appreciation. Tobias Jeg at Redscare industries suggested that we do a Wyoming tour, and we all thought it was an awesome idea. We are playing some towns on this tour we've never played, and some towns we haven't played for 7 or so years. Last time we played Rock Springs some metal head beat up a trash can in front of the venue. That's the Wyoming we're after. Some bands do tours that ignore Wyoming all together, we are playing 7 shows here. Perhaps other touring bands will take notice and add a show or two in Wyoming on upcoming tours. Our friends from Laramie Redbush will be main support for the entire tour. Denver, Colorado's The Gamits will be playing the Laramie show.
Check those and all upcoming dates out at our tour dates section!

Angels, Orbs and Other Things
An Exhibition of New Works 13th–19th Sept 2014 @ Baldoyle Library, Dublin
Opening with reception Saturday 13th September 2.30 – 4pm
It is my intention to create and channel works of intense colour, light and beauty. The process of painting balances my tendency to control and my ability to surrender to the flow.
A selection from the upcoming show – they start at €25 so a great way to own an original work of art before they are used to illustrate the new book "Sex & the Art of Conscious Cooking"

The Perfect Consultant
"Success is really about being ready for the good opportunities that come before you. It's not to have a detailed plan of everything that you're going to do. You can't plan innovation or inspiration, but you can be ready for it, and when you see it, you can jump on it."
~ Eric Schmidt
The Perfect Consultant
By Simon Tyler
Whatever your life, career or business situation, input from a valued, experienced, knowledgeable consultant will always be welcomed.
But who is that consultant, where do they reside, how can you contact them, and would they be willing to consult on your situation?
The answers to these questions lie closer than you would think.
The potential perfect consultant to you and your circumstance is… you!
Inspiration comes from within. Insight, from within. Investigation, introspection, inklings, invention, influence, incentive, and most pertinently, intuition, all from within.
Warning – a consultant who is negative, asks poor questions, or simply spouts opinions is soon ignored and their advice given little or no consideration. If this is your current version of personal consulting then it is no wonder you find yourself unfulfilled, searching the world for better, more accurate and reliable advice.
The Perfect Consultant (you) may well require some skill evolution. Here's one upgrade idea that will have incredible impact on the consultant's performance:
Upgrade the consultant's question
Many of our self-posed questions begin with "Why…". This provokes a "…because…" response, and rarely leads to new or creative input. Stop whying!
Actively begin your self-posed questions with "What…" or "How could…". These questions create space for your brain to source its own answers (i.e. inspirationally, intuitively – from within).
For example, after any encounter, event or situation that went well or badly, ask:
- "What could this teach me?"
- "What do I want to do with this outcome?"
- "How could I use this event to help me?"
Ask the questions and allow the 'in-consultant' to respond. For best effect, make notes of his or her suggestions and review later.
Good luck and keep it simple.
