Podcasts about american stars

As our Neil Young campaign nears its end we saddle up the palomino and mosy into American Stars and Bars. We've also had just about enough of the league of technical music villains and their attempted coup d'etat of classic rock, so we're fighting back.

Gill Gross returns to the podcast on the heels of Rafael Nadal's announcement that he will retire after next month's Davis Cup Final, for a wide-ranging conversation about the Spaniard's decision and legacy. Gross discusses the impact Nadal has made in the record books and off of the court, and breaks down how his ultimate rival Novak Djokovic looked in advancing to the Shanghai final. The broadcaster also recaps Jannik Sinner & Aryna Sabalenka collecting more trophies, the buzz that tense moments in tennis create, and which young men's players he's high on for the longterm. And then Dean Goldfine joins the show for a discussion about his long and distinguished coaching career. Goldfine explains how he started his journey working with Mary Joe Fernandez, and why his partnership with Todd Martin produced so many outstanding moments. One of American tennis' best teachers, Goldfine reflects on his time with Andy Roddick, & his USTA high performance coaching tenure that helped guide young stars like Sebastian Korda & Ben Shelton to new heights. And Goldfine assesses the current landscape of tennis, and why the game continues to evolve and improve. And rounding out this episode we have Mark Vellek, the tournament director for the MarketBeat Open in Sioux Falls. The event is the first time that pro tennis has come to South Dakota, and Vellek dives into the exciting week to come in his home state. The MarketBeat Open features a deep field that includes Chris Eubanks & Learner Tien, and is the first of four USTA Pro Circuit events that will go a long way into determining who wins the Australian Open Wild Card Challenge.

Draymond Green thinks that foreign NBA stars aren't given the same pressure to win championships as their American star counterparts. Sit back, relax, and listen up!

This week's guest on the Tennis.com Podcast is Martin Blackman, who currently serves as the General Manager of Player Development with the USTA & has had an huge role in shaping the current wave of American tennis stars making an impact on the world stage. Blackman goes in depth about his upbringing in Barbados, and how he was given the opportunity of a lifetime to train at the Bollettieri Tennis Academy alongside Jim Courier, Andre Agassi, and many other elite prospects. That opportunity led him to Stanford and a brief pro career before he found his true calling, working with younger generations & developing their skills on & off the court. Blackman explains why college is now a viable pathway for pro success, the importance of having pro events in the United States, and why team competitions like the Davis Cup & Billie Jean King Cup are meaningful experiences.

In this week's Sportsman Drag Racing Podcast, Luke and Jed recapped another major early season event: the Great American Stars & Stripes New Years Spectacular from Belle Rose, LA. In addition, they weighed in the boomerang relocation of the OG Million, and some randomly interesting stories in the world of sportsman drag racing.

Last Saturday night at about 11pm my wife and I touched down at the airport, exhausted from an incredible but very active week in Indianapolis.  We had been at the National FFA Convention all week, walked dozens of miles and met hundreds of incredible people.  We had seen the future leaders of our country, with all of their hope and promise, talent and work ethic, on display for the whole world to see.  And then, just like that, it was over. After the plane came to a stop at the gate we walked through the empty airport, retrieved our bags and found our car.  Driving through the night we found our way back to our farm, back to our normal life and the last little bit of travel adrenaline wore off. Our daughter had flown to and from the convention with her FFA chapter, so she had beat us home.  She was already in bed, and there was no waking her.  My wife made her way to bed and to sleep as quickly as possible, but I wasn't quite ready. I had been gone for five days, and I missed the farm.  It was a beautiful night so I decided to take a walk and check a few things before heading to bed.  The chickens were all locked up, the pigs had feed and water and the cows and goats were bedded down where they should be.  Nothing was amiss, and from the perspective of our livestock it was like we had never left. The night was quiet and clear, and I stood looking at the stars.  As I stood there thinking about the great week that we had just concluded I heard a train blow its horn as it approached town.  I couldn't help but smile.  Just six hours earlier I had pulled off the side of Interstate 57 to take a picture in front of the Kankakee sign as we drove towards Chicago. We had flown in and out of Chicago and rented a car so we could get a look at the “houses, farms and fields” of Illinois and Indiana on our way to and from the convention.  I had purposefully chosen this route on our way back so I could see this town with the funny sounding name that Steve Goodman wrote about and Willie Nelson sang about in the great song, “The City Of New Orleans”. Coordinated Inspiration As I stood there a thought entered my mind and my smile began to grow and grow.  At the same time that we had made our way back to our farm, tens of thousands of American youth were making their way back to theirs.  All across the country FFA students were making late night arrivals at their family farms, ranches and rural towns as they returned from this great convention. I imagined these students looking up at the stars in their own hometowns, inspired by the time they had just spent in Indiana and dreaming of what their futures would be.  There is a big world out there and it is filled with opportunities.  However, if you are never exposed to those ideas or nobody ever tells you about them, you don't even know they exist. For the 55,000+ FFA students who were able to attend this great convention they couldn't help but be excited.  This whole world of opportunity was brought to them and placed at their feet, all under one roof.  Whether their path is in the military, the trades, college, niche farming or production agriculture, everywhere they turned there was somebody who was eager to have them join them in their vocation and call to service. I could not fathom how many thousands of students at that moment were telling themselves, “I didn't know you could do that for a career” or who had received the spark necessary to light the fire in their souls that had just been waiting to burn. If all the adults in the expo hall reaching out to these youth by metaphorically saying “follow me and serve your fellow man” weren't enough, there were the general sessions.  The folks at the FFA are experts at creating an environment that first gets you very excited, followed by inspiration after inspiration in each of these general sessions. No Excuses The best thing this convention does, whether or not this is intentional, is that it removes all excuses.  In every session there are FFA students on the stage that are achieving at a very high level.  From the National Officers who run the show, to future professional musicians, to American Stars and Proficiency Finalists, you are shown the best of the best.  The stories of these students and how they made it to that stage are told to you, and every student sees what is possible. For example, if a student had just found out about a dream career in the expo and told yourself, “that's for other people, I could never do that”, in the general session they would get a metaphorical wake up call from the stories of the students on the stage that would leave them with only one answer - “If they did it, I can do it too, the only thing holding me back is me”.  That is a sobering thought, but it is also freeing and it is just what these students need to hear to be able to unleash their greatness. Student after student walks across that stage.  Some receive the highest awards, others do not, but every nominee has achieved things that even adults only dream about. Whether it is the agriscience research finalist whose research began during his freshman year of high school and has now taken him around the world.  Or the agribusiness finalist who saw a need at livestock shows that was not being filled and at 19 years of age flies all over the country fulfilling this need for his clients.  Or the agricultural placement finalist who had to find a way to fill a major void on his families farm and continue high school when Covid decimated their employee staff.  Or a star farmer candidate who started leasing land at an early age and building their own herd to now find themselves in a position to farm for their living.  Student after student and story after story erases excuse after excuse and replaces them with inspiration. Neither a student nor an adult can leave a general session without a sense of inspiration and a renewed vigor that makes them believe they can go conquer the world!  Every student and every adult takes a lot more home with them from the convention than they brought.  I bring home so much energy and inspiration that I almost feel selfish. Organizational Success To go the FFA's National Convention is to see unbelievable stories of individual success.  However, it is also to see an incredible example of organizational success.  The 2021 National FFA convention is the 94th iteration of this great event.  Since 1928 the National FFA has been chasing a vision of unity, fraternity, education and inclusion in agriculture.  The result has been unbelievable growth in the number of chapters and students who choose to be part of this organization. In the midst of the activities, music, lights and competitions of the National FFA Convention one tends to see the individual achievement only.  However, if you sit down and watch students walk by, reading the names of the states that they are from on the back of their jackets you see how this kernel of an idea that sprouted almost 100 years ago has transformed agriculture and the lives of millions of American youth since that day. There is no hall of fame for youth organizations or non-profit associations.  When one is finally created, the FFA will be a first ballot, charter member.  There is room in the FFA for everyone, whether you live in a neighborhood or on a farm.  The FFA will teach you the skills you need to succeed and expose you to a career or aptitude that will allow you to thrive. Find your inspiration, find your purpose and find it in the FFA!

In "The Bar" we looked at the shaming of USA Gymnast Simone Biles and compared her situation to that of Terry Francona's in Cleveland.  People that claim to love America are openly rooting against Team USA athletes.  How can one claim to love America but hate our best and brightest American Stars?  We also looked at the new Lakers Dream team and MLB's trade winds.

“The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” —Bruce Lee  Sir Peter Blake was a New Zealand yachtsman who won the Whitbread Round the World Race, the Jules Verne Trophy (setting the fastest time around the world in 74 days, 22 hours, 17 minutes, and 22 seconds), and led Team New Zealand to successive victories in the America’s Cup in 1995 and 2000. While the American teams had more money, New Zealand had a singularly effective strategy, the brain-child of Peter Blake.  When Blake was asked to take over as skipper for Team New Zealand, they weren’t considered much of a real contender, especially with the better-financed American “Stars and Stripes” boat. As you can imagine, there are a myriad of things that go into preparing a racing yacht for competition, such as types of sails, ropes, winches and cranks; electronics; rigging; crew composition; and training.  So with all these enablers and influencers for success, what should the team focus on? If you say all of them, then you have lost in time, money and prioritization. Some factors are obviously more important than others, and not all are critical for success. Like any complicated endeavor, finding and keeping focus on the right things is crucial.  Peter Blake was a practical New Zealander and a veteran of ocean sailing and racing. So instead of fancy spread sheets and performance metrics, he focused the team on one single strategic question: Will it make the boat go faster?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hoy queremos volver a señalar que el tema instrumental que abre y cierre cada uno de nuestros programas fue un regalo exclusivo de un gran amigo como Tony Luz, pionero del rock ‘n’ roll en España. Él fue autor e intérprete único de la sintonía de TOMA UNO. Y Tony Luz murió hace exactamente tres años, por lo que queremos compartir con vosotros lo mucho que le echamos de menos desde entonces. El 29 de noviembre de 1975, hace exactamente 45 años, Neil Young grabó "Like a Hurricane" en el Broken Arrow Ranch in Woodside, California, aunque no saldría a la luz hasta dos años más tarde, cuando se editó en single y formó parte del álbum American Stars 'n Bars. El noveno de los 10 discos que componen el segundo volumen de sus Neil Young Archives recién publicado, se abre con aquella canción que el canadiense compuso en la parte trasera de un DeSoto Suburban, el coche de finales de los años 40 que pertenecía a su vecino Taylor Phelps en La Honda, un pequeño pueblo del condado de San Mateo, en California. Por entonces se estaba recuperando de una operación en las cuerdas vocales que le impedían cantar y toda su energía la expresaba a través de la guitarra. Cubriendo tan solo cuatro años de su carrera, de 1972 a 1976, en el segundo volumen de su entrega de archivos personales, Neil Young se fija en la que todos consideramos su etapa más prolífica, e incluye 12 canciones nunca lanzadas en ningún formato, mientras que 50 son versiones inéditas de canciones conocidas. Entre los temas no publicados hasta ahora encontramos esta grabación junto a su paisana Joni Mitchell, que el 26 de agosto de 1973, llegó al Studio Instrument Rentals de Los Ángeles, donde Neil Young estaba sacando adelante Tonight’s the Night junto a los guitarristas Ben Keith y Nils Lofgren, el batería Ralph Molina y el bajista Billy Talbot. Es decir los Santa Monica Flyers. En aquel estudio surgió una versión desconocida hasta ahora de “Raised on Robbery”, la conversación de una prostituta que intenta ligar con un hombre solitario en un hotel, sin éxito. Al año siguiente sería el single de anticipo del álbum Court and Spark de la también artista canadiense. Kindred Spirits es uno de los discos de versiones más interesantes que hemos escuchado en mucho tiempo. Larkin Poe, sus protagonistas, han utilizado la variedad de estilos elegidos para moverse por una variedad de amplios espacios sonoros que abarca desde Robert Johnson a Post Malone, pasando por Lenny Kravitz, Allman Brothers, Elvis Presley, Elton John, los Moody Blues, Derek And The Dominos y Neil Young. En este último caso, las hermanas Lovell han elegido “Rockin’ In The Free World”, una canción que partió de una frase de Frank Sampedro cuando pensaban hacer un concierto en la Unión Soviética en 1989 y que formó parte en su álbum Freedom, con dos versiones, una eléctrica y otra acústica al estilo de “Hey Hey My My” en Rust Never Sleep. Hablaba de George Bush padre, del Ayatollah Khomeini y de Jesse Jackson. Cuando Trump se presentó a las elecciones en 2016 utilizó la canción contra la voluntad del canadiense. Kelsey Waldon fue el único fichaje en vida de John Prine de su sello Oh Boy!, por deseo expreso de su dueño, el fallecido músico de Illinois a causa del COVID-19. Nativa de Monkey’s Eyebrow, en Kentucky, tiene una extraordinaria capacidad para componer canciones muy personales que abarcan las más distintas facetas de la condición humana desde su visión como sureña de un país como el suyo. Es por eso que los derechos humanos se han convertido en uno de los focos de su último EP, They’ll Never Keep Us Down, donde canta sobre la injusticia racial o las condiciones laborales de los mineros del carbón de su tierra natal. Para ello se ha acogido a siete canciones de músicos tan dispares como Nina Simone, Hazel Dickens, Bob Dylan, Neil Young o Kristofferson. Su versión de "I Wish I Knew How It would Feel to Be Free", un tema que se convirtió en himno en pro de los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos durante los años 60 y que Nina Simone hizo muy popular en el 67, ha contado con Devon Gilfillian en el apoyo vocal. El pasado jueves 12, Lucinda Williams hizo público el segundo de los seis conciertos temáticos que ha grabado con el título de Lu's Jukebox en apoyo de promotores y salas de conciertos y que irá distribuyendo hasta finales de año. Esta vez se trataba de Southern Soul From Memphis To Muscle Shoals And More, con una selección de 10 versiones e canciones de rhythm and blues y una de cierre que suponía recordar su álbum Car Wheels on a Gravel Road gracias a “Still I Long for Your Kiss”. Lucinda recordó a Brook Benton, Ann Pebbles, Etta James, Al Green, Otis Redding, Bobby Gentry o Joe South entre otros y, por supuesto, no olvidó a Barbara Lynn, cuyo “You’ll Lose a Good Thing” de 1962 también cantó Aretha Franklin e incluso fue versionada por Freddy Fender en el 1976, llevándola al No.1 de las listas de country. La canción que anticipó el último álbum de Lucinda Williams, Good Souls Better Angels, fue "Man Without A Soul", tres años después de que revisara aquel Sweet Old World de 1992. En ese registro se dedicó a abordar los problemas que les son más cercanos y, por supuesto, no ha podido obviar las cuestiones políticas, un terreno en el que, además, entró en profundidad. Hablamos de un disco con evidentes tintes de blues, elementos de rock y un poderoso protagonismo de la guitarra de Stuart Mathis. Ahora esa canción ha obtenido una nominación al premio Grammy a la mejor canción de raíz Americana, compartido con su marido, Tom Overby, que compuso el tema con ella. Desde Carolina del Sur, el guitarrista Marcus King se ha convertido en una de las grandes realidades de la música Americana con acento sureño. Ahora al lado del productor Dan Auerbach, ha conseguido precisamente la nominación al mejor álbum de Americana con El Dorado, el primero de sus álbumes como solista tras su etapa como cabeza visible de la Marcus King Band. Un disco que incluye piezas tan rotundas como “The Well”, compuesta por él, Auerbach y Ronnie Bowman, que sirvió en su momento como primera escucha del trabajo con un impactante trabajo a la guitarra. Acaba de cumplir 28 años y Billy Strings, que recibió el apodo de su tía, se ha convertido en un instrumentista con una envidiable habilidad para interpretar las distintas formas en que se manifiesta el bluegrass. Este joven músico de Lansing, en el estado de Michigan, es la gran realidad de un género muy revitalizado en este siglo XXI. Home, su último álbum, aspira a llevarse un Grammy como mejor álbum de bluegrass, un regalo sonoro impregnado de miradas al pasado que recuerdan a las jam bands, y también a los grandes del jazz o del bluegrass. Son los sonidos puros que, como en “Hollow Heart”, memorizan de dónde viene y le activan a encontrar nuevos horizontes. Si la Country Music Association se olvidó mencionar a John Prine en su última gala de entrega de premios, la Academia de la Música no lo ha hecho y ha nominado al Grammy al artista como mejor interpretación de Americana del año por “I Remember Everything”, la última canción grabada por el mítico artista que nos arrebató el Covid-19 el pasado mes de abril. Competirá también con Lucinda Williams y su marido para lograr ser la mejor canción de raíz Americana. "I Remember Everything" está compuesta por Prine y su buen amigo Pat McLaughlin, contando recuerdos del pasado que dejan una marca indeleble.  En enero de 2018, la USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative publicó un estudio sobre la industria musical, señalando que la mujer necesitaba un mínimo de seis años para situarse al mismo nivel del hombre. She Is The Music, es una organización que busca cerrar esa brecha, apoyando a las mujeres en todos los aspectos de la industria de la música, aumentando sus oportunidades y su visibilidad, procurando que la próxima generación de mujeres consiga roles de liderazgo en esa industria. The Highwomen han tomado la iniciativa junto a She Is The Music para organizar campus de composición femeninos y ayudar a financiar programas de tutoría. “Crowded Table”, una canción que Natalie Hemby y Brandi Carlile han compuesto con Lori McKenna y que se ha convertido en todo un himno desde que las escucharon estrenarlo en el Newport Folk Festival del año pasado. Ahora, sus tres compositoras aspiran a llevarse el Grammy como mejor canción country. A lo largo de su carrera, Linda Ronstadt ha cantado temas de todos los estilos musicales imaginables, desde country a ópera y comedia musical, pasando por folk, rhythm'n'blues, rock'n'roll, pop o música latina. En todos los casos, su voz ha brillado tanto que se ha convertido en una de las vocalistas femeninas de mayor prestigio. Su segundo álbum en solitario, Silk Purse, cumplió esta primavera medio siglo desde su publicación, siendo recordado por canciones como “Long Long Time”, una balada exquisita que llegó a ser nominada a los premios Grammy y en el que hablaba de haber hecho todo lo posible por retener a su pareja. Ahora, 50 años después, la legendaria artista de Arizona ve como su documental Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice está nominada para llevarse el fonógrafo dorado como mejor película musical.   Escuchar audio

The Fandom Files is joined by William Yu, an activist and screenwriter who started the mega-viral movements #StarringJohnCho and #SeeAsAMStar! Fed up with Hollywood's long tradition of overlooking Asian-American actors, Yu started photoshopping John Cho's face on blockbuster movie posters, confronting audiences with their own biases and forcing people to acknowledge the viability of Asian-American actors in leading roles. Two years later, using AI and deepfake technology, he placed Asian-American actors' faces in pivotal scenes from major studio movies, once again challenging our ingrained prejudice. Yu talks to The Fandom Files about his campaigns, making the deepfakes, and how they've changed his own life. All this and more in this episode of The Fandom Files!
