The singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman made her voice heard in 1988 when she performed her song “Fast Car” for 90,000 people at a Free Nelson Mandela concert at Wembley Stadium. That song was off her self-titled debut album, which went on to win three Grammys and solidify her as an important American voice. Now, 35 years later, it's still making an impact and it's just been re-issued on vinyl. Tracy joins guest host Garvia Bailey to share her memories of making that record, why she thinks “Fast Car” means so much to so many, and how the years she spent busking on street corners taught her how to hold a crowd's attention with just her voice and a guitar.

Leïla Slimani, née à Rabat au Maroc, d'une mère franco-algérienne et d'un père marocain, est journaliste et écrivain. En 2014, elle publie son premier roman aux éditions Gallimard, «Dans le jardin de l'ogre» et avec son deuxième roman, «Chanson douce», elle obtient le prix Goncourt 2016. Depuis 2020, elle est l'auteure d'une trilogie «Le Pays des autres», dont le dernier volume s'intitule «J'emporterai le feu». « Mehdi se sécha, enfila un tee-shirt propre et un pantalon de toile, et il chercha au fond de sa sacoche le livre qu'il avait acheté pour sa fille. Il poserait sa main sur son épaule, il lui sourirait et lui ordonnerait de ne jamais se retourner. “Mia, va t'en et ne rentre pas. Ces histoires de racines, ce n'est rien d'autre qu'une manière de te clouer au sol, alors peu importe le passé, la maison, les objets, les souvenirs. Allume un grand incendie et emporte le feu.” »Enfants de la troisième génération de la famille Belhaj, Mia et Inès sont nées dans les années 1980. Comme leur grand-mère Mathilde, leur mère Aïcha ou leur tante Selma, elles cherchent à être libres chacune à sa façon, dans l'exil ou dans la solitude. Il leur faudra se faire une place, apprendre de nouveaux codes, affronter les préjugés, le racisme parfois.Leïla Slimani achève ici de façon splendide la trilogie du Pays des autres, fresque familiale emportée par une poésie vigoureuse et un souffle d'une grande puissance.

Clare and Hannah each share another song that rocked their worlds. Clare's song is a universal story about the plight of the working poor, just as relevant today as it was forty years ago. Hannah spends most of her allotted time describing what happens if you trespass at a war vet's house and pester his wife (You get shot, that's what). Also, her song made both of us cry a little.Hannah's song: “I Can't Help But Wonder” by Jorge Rivera-HerransClare's song: “Fast Car” written and performed by Tracy Chapman.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 20, 2024 is: beatific • bee-uh-TIFF-ik • adjective Beatific is a formal word that describes something or someone having a blissful appearance or showing complete happiness. // As the pair danced, beatific smiles on their faces, the audience sat hushed and almost reverential. See the entry > Examples: “Most vividly, there was Tracy Chapman, back on the Grammys stage after years out of the spotlight to sing ‘Fast Car,' her gentle yet resolute anthem of self-determination, alongside Luke Combs, the country star who had a huge hit last year with a cover of the decades-old song. As Chapman sang and played guitar, she looked satisfied, serene, almost beatific.” — Mikael Wood, The Los Angeles Times, 5 Feb. 2024 Did you know? When it comes to bliss-themed words, it's hard to beat beatific. Since the 17th century, beatific has been all about that other b-word, first describing things that impart a feeling of complete and utter happiness, and later those beings with a blissful appearance. Not a bad gig if you can get it. Beatific comes from the Latin adjective beātificus, which means “making happy,” and can be traced further back to the verb beāre, meaning “to make happy.” Bliss, of course, is more like happiness cubed, so beatific tends to be used in formal speech and writing, and reserved for situations where happy itself doesn't quite cut the mustard. A beatific smile, for example, is one that suggests its wearer is content on a deeper-than-ordinary level, while a beatific location—say, a tranquil tropical lagoon or a majestic mountain—is one that instills such pervasive joy in its beholder.

John is joined by Pete Wehner—veteran of the Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43 administrations turned eloquent Never Trumper—to discuss the once and future president's transformation of the GOP, his perplexing appeal to the Christian Right, and more. Wehner explains why the best summation of Trump's agenda comes from Michel Caine as Alfred in The Dark Knight (“Some men just want to watch the world burn”); Pete Hegseth's redemption narrative and invocations of his Lord and savior ring so hollow; and so many Evangelicals are so devoted to Trump in spite of his lack of godly virtues. Wehner and John also harken back to the magical duet of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car by Chapman and Luke Combs at this year's Grammy's, and riff on why the emotional outpouring it triggered was a hopeful sign for our politics and culture.

Cover songs once had a simple playbook: Artists would faithfully rerecord a song—note for note and word for word. They might modernize the instrumentation.

More than 35 years after its release, Tracy Chapman's eponymous debut album – and the single Fast Car – hit #1 on the charts last week, fueled by her performance with country star Luke Combs at the Grammy Awards. Kara speaks with Lydia Polgreen of the New York Times' Matter of Opinion podcast, music reporter Maura Johnston, and Estelle Caswell, formerly of Vox Pop Earworm, about why an album written at the end of the Reagan era, full of songs about social injustice, racial tensions and striving for upward mobility, has struck a chord with Gen Z audiences. Plus: they talk about the changing music industry and another surprise Grammy comeback: the legendary Joni Mitchell.  You can watch the original performances on the Grammy Awards website.

The rare public warning comes a day after the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said he'd instructed Israeli forces to prepare to operate in that part of Gaza. Also: President Zelensky sacks the head of the Ukrainian armed forces, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, saying a new approach is needed, and why Tracy Chapman's classic track Fast Car is in the driving seat on iTunes.

What do Princess Diana's wedding, the “Survivor” first season finale and Prince's 2007 Super Bowl halftime show all have in common? They were huge cultural moments that brought millions of Americans together. In an era of streaming, social media bubbles and sharp political divides, are unifying events like these becoming relics of the past?On today's episode, the hosts make a case for the secular ritual of the Super Bowl and ask whether we need more mass cultural events to bring Americans together.(A full transcript of this episode will be available within 24 hours of publication, and can be found in the audio player above.) Mentioned in this episode:“Bowling Alone,” the 1995 essay in the Journal of Democracy and 2000 book by Robert D.

A tumultuous week in Congress centered around the failure of a comprehensive immigration and national security bill. Democrats in the Senate compromised on demands by Republicans for tighter border measures. The hope was that it would help secure more military assistance for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. However, the legislation failed to make it past a procedural vote after pressure from Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Johnson faced issues in his own chamber as well, with the failure of a separate funding bill for Israel and an unsuccessful impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Can Republicans save face after a series of embarrassing losses? Michigan is home to the largest population of Arab Americans and Muslims in the United States. It's also a state that is vital to the hopes of any presidential candidate. President Biden relied on the support of these communities in 2020, but his handling of the conflict in Gaza has upset voters and community leaders who are advocating for a permanent cease-fire. His campaign's efforts to reach out have been met with accusations of playing politics. How can Biden maneuver the political reality of such a deeply personal issue? There were mixed feelings when country star Luke Combs covered Tracy Chapman's hit record “Fast Car” last summer. The pair came together for a moving duet of the smash song at last week's Grammys. Our panel reflects on the moving lessons they took away from the performance amid a polarizing debate.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss the Republicans' beginning and end of both the border bill and the impeachment of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas; the criminal conviction of a mother for a school shooting by her son; and the D.C. Circuit Court decision on presidential immunity and the Supreme Court argument on the presidential ballot.    Here are some notes and references from this week's show: Rachael Bade for Politico: Schumer presses forward with Ukraine Plan B as GOP leaders reel and Burgess Everett: Behind the border mess: Open GOP rebellion against McConnell Cleve R.

All three betches are back recording together this week and begin by discussing Drake's NSFW video… IYKYK. Did he release this video himself or was it really leaked? They debrief a packed Grammys show that featured a few awkward Taylor Swift moments on stage, and an amazing performance of Fast Car by Tracy Chapman – Jordana's her new biggest fan… even though she only likes the one song. Also Jay-Z made things uncomfortable for everyone and we have thoughts. The Super Bowl is happening this Sunday, so Aleen tells us why she thinks the game was predetermined – Sami's not so sure, but Jordana only cares about her betting pool anyway. There's more to say about Taylor's big announcement, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow's episode of Speak Now Betches Version. In the meantime, Tracy gets her moment to shine as our Betch of the Week, and Phoebe Bridgers gets the honor of sending some guy named Neil to the Caymans. Good luck selling those timeshares while you “rot in piss” (Phoebe's words, not ours). Check out our latest promo codes here: https://betches.com/promos Learn more about your ad choices.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/05/2024): 3:05pm- In a video posted to his X social media page, Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ) advocated for allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in school board elections in New Jersey. Gov. Murphy explained: “Young voters are the future of American democracy” and that by lowering the voting age, the state will be “inspiring our young neighbors to become lifelong voters.” 3:10pm- On Sunday, leadership in the U.S. Senate released the details of a bipartisan bill designed to reduce illegal border crossings, send $60 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, and $14.1 billion in aid to Israel. The 370-page bill mandates a border shutdown if more than 5,000 migrants unlawfully enter the U.S. in a single day. However, the shutdown cannot exceed 270 days in the bill's first year, 225 in the second year, and 180 days in the third year. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise has said the proposed “Senate border bill will not receive a vote in the House.” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has echoed a similar sentiment—and announced the House will instead vote on a standalone bill later this week that will provide $14.3 billion of aid to Israel. 3:30pm- On Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, journalist Steve Kornacki revealed a new NBC poll which indicates Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump currently has a commanding head-to-head lead over President Joe Biden (D)—47% to 42%. According to Kornacki, it's the largest lead Trump has had over Biden since NBC began collecting data on Trump-Biden head-to-head presidential races in 2019. Trump's lead increases to 6-points when considering third-party candidates likely to run in the 2024 presidential race. 3:40pm- Dan McLaughlin—Senior Writer at National Review Online and Fellow at National Review Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his most recent editorial, “A Major Showdown Over the Power of Agencies to Make Up Crimes.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/01/a-major-showdown-over-the-power-of-agencies-to-make-up-crimes/ 4:05pm- While speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hinted that he is considering South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott to be his Vice President. Trump also denied rumors that his campaign team reached out to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about the prospect of being VP. 4:15pm- While appearing on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem warned President Joe Biden against the federalization of the National Guard. The far-left has called on the President to utilize that tactic to upend Texas Governor Greg Abbott's strategies to secure the U.S. Southern border. 4:30pm- According to reports, rapper Lil Pump recently got a giant tattoo of Donald Trump's face on his leg. Meanwhile, on Real Time with Bill Maher, rapper Killer Mike refused to endorse Joe Biden for reelection. In 2016 and 2020, Killer Mike supported Bernie Sanders. Rich jokes, can Trump win the famous rapper vote in 2024? 4:45pm- Reacting to the bipartisan Senate border proposal, Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL) told Fox News' Harris Faulkner that she is “absolutely shocked that anyone is even considering this garbage package.” She continued: “Biden is going to be putting more pressure on the Senate and the House—going to the American people trying to sell this knock off of a border deal. It's like they were trying to sell us on Gucci, but really it's the package that the guy around the corner in the alley pulled out of his trunk.” 4:50pm- The New York Post writes: “Sex workers must now compete with artificial intelligence, as the world's first AI brothel pioneers the future of sex. At first glance, Berlin's Cybrothel operates like a traditional escort business. Private suites can be booked for a few hours, or overnight, and clients choose their companion from a list of seductive names like Bimbo or Ms Schmidt. But the Berlin bordello's futuristic edge lies with its workers. At Cybrothel, patrons share company with life-size sex dolls instead of human sex workers. Bimbo, Kokeshi and Co can't move or speak, but clients interact with them in the virtual realm; donning VR headsets to watch immersive 4D porn featuring their favourite sex-bot.” You can read the full, ridiculous report here: https://nypost.com/2024/02/04/lifestyle/inside-cybrothel-the-worlds-first-ai-brothel-using-sex-dolls/ 5:05pm- Jim Tankerslay of The New York Times writes: “President Biden, whose approval rating has suffered amid high inflation, is beginning to pressure large grocery chains to slash food prices for American consumers, accusing the stores of reaping excess profits and ripping off shoppers. ‘There are still too many corporations in America ripping people off: price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation,' Mr. Biden said last week in South Carolina. Aides say those comments are a preview of more pressure to come against grocery chains and other companies that are maintaining higher-than-usual profit margins after a period of rapid price growth. Economic research suggests the cost of eggs, milk and other staples—which consumers buy far more frequently than big-ticket items like furniture or electronics—play an outsize role in shaping Americans' views of inflation. Those prices jumped more than 11 percent in 2022 and 5 percent last year, amid a postpandemic inflation surge that was the nation's fastest burst of price increases in four decades.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/01/us/politics/biden-food-prices.html 5:20pm- During a speech over the weekend, President Joe Biden recounted a recent conversation he had with French President Francois Mitterrand. Unfortunately, Mitterrand died in 1996. So, what the heck was Biden talking about? 5:25pm- On ABC's This Week, anchor George Stephanopoulos outrageously accused Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) of “sanctioning” sexual assault and defamation by endorsing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. 5:30pm- Vanity Fair has accused Saturday Night Live of catering to the far-right for allowing Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley to appear on this past weekend's broadcast after inviting controversial comedian Shane Gillis to host the show later this year. 5:40pm- While leaving a smoothie shop in Las Vegas, Nevada, President Joe Biden was asked if he would debate Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump—he reacted by accusing Trump of having nothing else to do. 5:45pm- Appearing on Fox News with Neil Cavuto, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley seemingly advocated on behalf of the Senate's bipartisan border bill. 5:50pm- The Associated Press writes: “Employees from a Ukrainian arms firm conspired with defense ministry officials to embezzle almost $40 million earmarked to buy 100,000 mortar shells for the war with Russia, Ukraine's security service reported. The SBU said late Saturday that five people have been charged, with one person detained while trying to cross the Ukrainian border. If found guilty, they face up to 12 years in prison.” You can read the full article here: https://www.npr.org/2024/01/28/1227447442/ukraine-says-corrupt-officials-stole-40-million-meant-to-buy-arms-for-the-war 6:05pm- During last night's Grammy awards show, Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs teamed up to perform the song “Fast Car.” Last year, The Washington Post criticized Combs for singing the song made famous by Chapman in the late-1980s. 6:15pm- In a video posted to his X social media page, Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ) advocated for allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in school board elections in New Jersey. Gov. Murphy explained: “Young voters are the future of American democracy” and that by lowering the voting age, the state will be “inspiring our young neighbors to become lifelong voters.” 6:45pm- Jorge Fitz-Gibbon of The New York Post writes: “A New Jersey-based migrant gang is smuggling hordes of illegal immigrants into the US across the Canadian border for a price of $6,000 a head, a new report reveals. The human smuggling gang took root after its founders were briefly detained and cut loose by federal immigration authorities.” You can read the full report here: https://nypost.com/2024/02/04/news/nj-based-gang-charging-6k-a-head-to-smuggle-migrants-into-us-from-canada-report/

We're wrapping up the year in music.It was a big year for boygenius, an indie supergroup made up of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus. Their album "The Record" was nominated for album of the year. And they received five Grammy nods altogether.Another first this year – the song "Ella Baila Sola" by Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma became the first regional Mexican song to ever reach the top 10 of the U.S. Billboard charts after going viral on TikTok. And what's old is new again. Tracy Chapman's 1988 hit "Fast Car" had a resurgence after a cover by country singer Luke Combs went platinum in July.We'll discuss some of the biggest music stories, songs, and maybe some hits you missed, from the last year.Want to support 1A?
