This week's quiz: On 6 August, I asked you a question about an article written by RFI English journalist Michael Fitzpatrick, about Macron's loss of an overall majority in France's National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament. This means his party's proposed laws will have a much harder time passing than in his last presidential term when he had the absolute majority. Compromise, coalitions – all that's now necessary, and we've been watching closely how this new political landscape will play out. As Michael wrote in his article “After angry debate, French parliament agrees spending power budget changes”, you'll read exactly how that is going … as Michael put it: “After four days of frequently violent verbal clashes, the French National Assembly on Wednesday morning finally passed the budgetary adjustments needed to finance measures aimed at boosting spending power.” I asked you to send me the answer to this question: How many deputies from the right-leaning French political party “Les Républicans” joined with members from Macron's party “Renaissance” to pass the adjustments to the 2022 budget? The answer is, as Michael wrote: “The presidential faction and its allies profited from the support of the 54 deputies of the Republican right, which is anxious to position itself as a ‘constructive opposition.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the Bonus Question: “When are you at your best?” The winners are: Khondaker Rafiqul Islam, who's the president of the Source of Knowledge Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh, and is also the winner of this week's Bonus Question. The other winners this week are RFI Listeners Club members Mogire Machuki from Kissi, Kenya; Hans Verner Lollike from Hedehusene, Denmark; Ding Lu from Jiangsu Province in China, and RFI English listener Sultana Begum from Sirajganj, Bangladesh.   Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's program: “April in Paris” by Vernon Duke and Yip Harburg, performed by Count Basie and the Mills Brothers; “September” by Al McKay, Maurice White, and Allee Willis, performed by Earth, Wind & Fire; “L'Indifference” by Tony Murena, performed by Murena and the Café Accordion Orchestra; “The Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer, and “Dancing on the Tables” written by Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and performed by the Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen Quartet.    Do you have a musical request?

Studio sessions, film dates, international touring, jazz concerts, guest appearances, and clinics keep him busy not only in his hometown of Los Angeles, but worldwide.  Born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1958, Bergeron came to Los Angeles at age one, so considers himself a native Californian. Originally starting on French horn, he switched to trumpet in seventh grade and found he had natural upper register ability. Bergeron credits his junior high and high school teachers, Ron Savitt and Bob Smith, for molding his talent into practical working skills.  Bergeron first caught the ear of many when he landed the lead trumpet chair with Maynard Ferguson's band in 1986. Bergeron can be heard on Maynard's recordings of Body and Soul, Big Bop Nouveau, Brass Attitude, and The One and Only Maynard Ferguson.  Bergeron demonstrates daily why Maynard remarked, “Wayne is the most musical lead trumpet player I've had on my band.”  As a sideman, Bergeron's list of recording credits reads like a who's who in contemporary jazz and pop, running the stylistic gamut from Ray Charles to Green Day. Other names include Panic, AT the Disco!, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Barbra Streisand, Michael Buble, Mary J. Blige, Indina Menzel, Leslie Oden Jr., Herb Alpert, The Jonas Brothers, Burt Bacharach, The Dirty Loops, Seth MacFarlane, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Seal, Diana Krall, Tito Puente, Christina Aguilera, Dianne Reeves, Michael Bolton, Earth Wind & Fire, The Pussy Cat Dolls, My Chemical Romance, The Mars Volta, Chicago, Rosemary Cloony, Diane Schuur, Barry Manilow, Lee Ann Womack, Lou Rawls, Eric Marienthal, Kenny G., and David Benoit.  Bergeron has worked on over 450 TV & motion picture soundtracks. A partial list of film credits include Minions 2:The Rise of Gru, Soul, Ford vs. Ferrari, Toy Story 4, Frozen 1, 2, Despicable Me 1, 2, and 3, Secret Life of Pets 1, 2,

What Can We Do??  Talking Hot Topics with Vegas Legend Finis Henderson Finis Hendrson isn't just a Vegas Legend he is an entertainment legend!   I was honored to sit down with him and chat about the biz Check out his webpage here.  https://finis.com/about-finis-henderson/ Finis Henderson was born in Chicago to a family of entertainers. His father was a song and dance man and Vice-President of Sammy Davis Jr. Enterprises and Sammy Davis was Finis' Godfather.  Finis' uncle Bill Henderson is a Grammy nominated jazz singer and character actor in dozens of movies and television shows.    In the 1980's Finis moved to Los Angeles to embark on a solo career and was guided by his cousin Al McKay the rhythm guitarist from one of the hottest bands at the time, Earth, Wind and Fire.   Finis was signed to Motown by Suzanne de Passé who signed The Jackson 5 and The Commodores.  Al McKay produced Finis' self-titled album and Stevie Wonder wrote one of the songs on that album.  “Skip to My Lou” one of the songs on that album became a R&B/funk hit, is still played on radio stations today worldwide particularly in Japan where it has a cult following. In 2013 Universal Music which bought Motown released a digitally remastered CD version of “Finis”. While working to develop a music career, Finis earned a living performing his impressions in comedy clubs across the country including The Laugh Factory, Improvs and Stardome. The legendary Mitzi Shore who founded the famous Comedy Store gave Finis a platform to perform on and where he made lasting relationships in the comedy world. Richard Pryor and Robin Williams performed improvisations with Finis there. Pryor was so enamored with Finis that Richard invited him to be the opening act for his movie “Live on the Sunset Strip”.  Subsequently Finis opened for many of the top names in comedy including Rodney Dangerfield, Alan King and Robert Klein.  Finis currently opens for Jay Leno at the Mirage in Las Vegas when their schedules permit. In 2013, after performing a musical concert at the $1 billion Red Rock casino in Las Vegas' toniest community of Summerlin, Finis headlined for a week at the Laugh Factory in the Tropicana on the Las Vegas Strip. Today Finis concentrates his work in three markets (1) cruise lines, (2) casinos and (3) corporate.  Finis is one of the most prolific headliners on Royal Caribbean and has also worked for other cruise lines including Holland America and Princess. After making many appearances in Atlantic City, Finis was the recurring headliner at Gold Strike in Tunica before it was sold.  Finis also performs at private high roller parties at casinos in Las Vegas and throughout the country, which are really more akin to corporate events.  “There is a real overlap now between casinos and corporate particularly as Las Vegas has become more dependent on conventions and trade shows and less on gambling. In the past few years, aside from my public work with Jay Leno at the Mirage, all of my performances in Las Vegas have been either private high roller or corporate events; actually that has been true of Reno too where my last two Reno shows were for a health care company and a building supplies trade group”, Finis concluded. Finis Henderson has been the leading choice of the world's largest companies including many in the Fortune 500 to entertain their clients and employees. “I told Finis he has tremendous Wall Street appeal as his corporate client list includes every industry sector in the S&P 500”, said Ken Frankel a former hedge fund manager whose firm is Finis' current manager.

We're back after a little time away, and we're diving into two directors we both love but have a few films we need to catch up on. And they just so happen to have the same last name: Anderson. We're kicking things off with modern-day maestro auteur, Paul Thomas Anderson, in a film that both established him but is also wildly different and unique in its subject matter, compared to his other films. Which is not to say that a film about pornography in the 1970's isn't within P.T.'s purview, but this film is loud, boisterous, and colorful, in contrast to some of the muted, strained tones of his other works. In many ways we're watching a filmmaker fine-tune his skills in real time, which is pretty incredible considering this is still very early in his career. In fact the only weak link in this otherwise pretty fantastic script and film is actually one of the actors, and it's only because he decided he hated pornography and hated the movie while doing it; and his performance was good enough to earn him an Oscar nomination. It's truly one of the most nuanced, thoughtful films about a really complicated set of working relationships…and it happens to feature a lot of sex.

Song: SeptemberSong by: Earth, Wind and FireWritten by: Al Mckay, Maurice White, and All Willis.Podcast vocals by: Gail NoblesKeyboard player: Gail NoblesPhoto credit: Chris HakkensUsage: CC BY-SA 2.0https://flic.kr/p/84VgffDo you remember Earth Wind and Fire - September? Never was a cloudy day. I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to the Cat Bear. Today's topic is Earth Wind and Fire's hit single of 1978 September. Clap your hands! Clap your hands! You're listening to the podcast sound of the Cat Bear! It's Earth Wind and Fire Time. No matter what month I hear their song on the radio. It puts me in the mood for September. A beautiful September!September was a very successful song that reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot R&B Songs cart, and No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. It was added to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry list which is a list of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or esthetically important, and inform or reflect life in the United States. The song was added in 2018.September has been one of the biggest commercial and critical successes of Earth, Wind and fire's career. It's a song that makes you want to dance. It makes me remember the good times. The single was written by Al Mckay, Maurice White, and All Willis.

Jay Armant, Jr never thought he’d become a member of Fishbone, much less co-lead vocalist of Year of the Dragon with Walter “Dirty Walt” Kibby. A self-described nerd, “Flyin’ Jay,” (as he would become known), figured he’d continue being a video game tester.But as a school kid, he took music as an elective, where he got turned on to the trombone. He immediately fell in love. And as he got older, the ‘bone kept calling him—until he found himself playing in a band and teaching music himself. Then his mentor/boss Fernando Pullum hooked him up with the opportunity of a lifetime…In this fun, info-packed interview, Jay chops it up about his indoctrination into the art of crowd-surfing, gigging with Al McKay of Earth Wind & Fire, crazy road stories, life after Fishbone, his project Electric Gremlin with Adam Fuller, and how much love and devotion his crew Year of the Dragon put into recording their new album, Take Control.

Full Metal Jacket is a staggering portrayal of the inhumanity of war that was completely overshadowed by Oliver Stone’s war masterpiece Platoon. The production was legendarily lengthy, and by the time it was complete, the audience just didn’t show up. Yet despite the fact that this movie would probably be near-perfect if it ended halfway through, this movie has some of the best performances we’ve seen from a Kubrick film yet. it’s a bit of a mess, but Full Metal Jacket is arguably Kubrick’s best film…and we’ll debate that today on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

EW&F sprängde alla gränser! Ett band som föddes ur en tanke hos en viljestark man och formades med hjälp av musiker som blickade ut i ett accelererande universum. Nu startar miniserien om extremt inflytelserika Earth, Wind & Fire, vars ledare Maurice White avled tidigare i år. Du får möta White samt medlemmarna Philip Bailey och Al McKay under resan som går från psykedeliska jazzfunkfusionexperiment färgade av medborgarrättskampen och hippierörelsen till toppen av poplistorna och superhits som Septemberoch Boogie wonderland.Det var en gång då ingen grupp var större än Earth, Wind & Fire.

Programmet om Prince tar avstamp i det genre- och könsöverskridande albumet Dirty mind där Prince förvandlades till den rockstjärna som han hela tiden visste att han var. En hyllning av Mats Nileskär, Jesse Johnson, Sheila E, Sly Stone, Morris Day, Jimmy Jam, Larry Graham, Chaka Khan, Alan Leeds, Eric Leeds, D'Angelo, Ty Dolla Sign, Raphael Saadiq, Teena Marie, Sa-Ra, Marvin Gaye, Miguel, Levi Seacer Jr, Hiatus Kayote, Questlove, Mavis Staples, Tony Silvester, Al McKay och Bilal. I timme två; Prince-lärjungen Dam-Funk, och nästa vecka; Prince förebild Sly Stone.Mats Nileskär om de otaliga försöken att få intervjua stjärnan: - Flera gånger försökte jag få till det med artisten som gjorde allt för att undvika bandade intervjuer. Och då menar jag allt. Enda sedan jag spelade Prince första gången i P3 1978, debutsingeln "Soft and Wet". Närmast var jag kanske sommaren 2011 då Prince spelade på Way Out West. Det var riggat för intervju, men i sista stund valde Prince att istället cykla ut i Göteborgsstadsdelen Majorna. Jag mötte nog Prince när D'Angelo gläntade på dörren till sin själ.Prince var ändå återkommande i Mats Nileskärs intervjuer med framträdande musikpersonligheter. Nu hedrar de ikonen i ett specialavsnitt av P3 Soul.
