Story by: Gail NoblesPhoto: Wikipedia Public DomainKeyboardist: Gail Nobles"From a Distance," a powerful song by Julie Gold, found a new life when Bette Midler covered it for her album "Some People's Lives" in 1990. This song quickly became famous, especially during the Gulf War, as it spoke to many people who were watching the conflict unfold. Its heartfelt message made it feel like an anthem of hope and peace, even when times were tough.As the world faced the realities of war, the song reminded listeners that, from far away, we might see things differently. It suggests that even though there's fighting, there's still a chance for friendship and understanding. The haunting lyrics capture a deep sense of longing and highlight the struggles of conflict, raising questions about what fighting really means."From a Distance" became a hit, reaching the top of music charts in the U.S. It climbed to number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and found a high spot on other lists too. In recognition of its impact, the song won a Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1991 and was honored with a special award for its plays on the radio.The message in the song is clear: no matter the distance or the differences that separate us, we all share a common humanity. The refrain, "And God is watching us," serves as a reminder that there is something greater above us, observing our actions and perhaps hoping for peace amidst the turmoil. It's a song that continues to connect and reach people, reminding us all to strive for understanding and compassion.I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to the Cat Bear audio station...Music commentary news.

Called “The Queen of American Pop Music,” she performed on stage, on television, and in the movies. For example, you can hear her voice and her songs all through the Disney classic, “Lady and the Tramp.” For all the joy she brought, however, perhaps her most memorable song is one that is not joyful at all. In 1969, she recorded a song entitled “Is That All There Is?” In it, a woman reflects on past events in her life, from the loss of her childhood home to going to the circus with her father, and her first romantic love. After each event, she asks herself, “Is that all there is?” She knows that something is missing, but she doesn't know what. And as she looks to the end of her life, she’s convinced that, in her final moments, she'll ask the same question: “Is that all there is?” The song earned Peggy Lee a Grammy Award. It also reached the top of the charts. Clearly, the song had struck a nerve. It still does today. In the closing sentences of the apostle Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he reminds us not to look to the things of this world. Don’t look to the things of this world for security, for fulfillment, for meaning, for identity. Not only are the things of this world uncertain; even if they surround us until the day we die, they offer nothing that lasts. In the end, all we will have is the question, “Is that all there is?” Enter our Creator. Enter God the Son. Enter Jesus. On our behalf, our Savior did what he had to do to rescue us from an empty, pointless existence. His perfect life and death in our place pulled us out of our darkness and back into his light. For now, in him, not only do we bask in his forgiveness; in him, we are once again what he created us to be. We are in the family of God. And because we are, we now have the life that is truly life.

"We Were Made For These Times" It's been 40 years since the Grammy-Award winning band the Klezmatics formed in the East Villag. In the same way the Pogues fused Irish folk with punk rock, the New York klezmer outfit have grafted centuries-old Yiddish music with iterations of contemporary music including jazz, gospel, punk, classical, Latin, and Balkan styles. With nearly twenty albums under their musical belts, including Rhythm and Jews, Jews With Horns, Letters to Afar and their wonderful new one, We Were Made For These Times, the Klezmatics remain one of the most spellbindingly singular bands on the planet. Over the course of their career they've collaborated with Arlo Guthrie, Allen Ginsberg and Itzhak Perlman, played shows in over twenty different countries, performed on PBS' Great Performances, recorded a live CD at New York City's Town Hall and snared a Critics Award as well as a New York Jewish Music Award. Their music has appeared everywhere from Sex and the City to Late Night With David Letterman and their new album continues to add to their winning legacy. A stirring, inspiring and soulful offering that, in the band's words is, "rooted in protest, hope, and resilience, We Were Made For These Times pairs Black gospel, Latin American, and avant-jazz voices with Yiddish folk and the results are joyful, life-affirming and brimming with optimism. The L.A. born vocalist, accordionist, pianist, guitarist Lorin Sklamberg is a lovely guy and this is a great chat. www.klezmatics.com (http://www.klezmatics.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Threads + BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagzine.com

My guests include Linda Phillips from the Shelby County Election Commission. Election time is here and its importance cannot be understated. Early voting has started and she gives us an update on the numbers, locations and everything you need to know. Next, the new school year is upon us and there is uncertainty as to who is in charge. The state created an Oversight Committee to basically oversee operations and  the day to day decisions over the elected school board. This has resulted in a lawsuit and a temporary restraining order by the board. Dr. Henry Jones is a Community Organizer and is Director at Together 4 Students. His position is that MSCS has not prepared our children for the future they deserve and should drop the lawsuit and get to work for our kids. He explains his mission. Lastly, Robert Gordon is a Grammy Award winning writer and filmmaker from Memphis. His work has focused on the American south. His latest film project is entitled, ‘Newport and the Great Folk Dream'. He joins me to talk about what he calls, a film that serves as a reminder of what the Statue of Liberty stands for. That and more on air and online Monday, 6pm on 91.7 FM WYXR.

This week, we are giving a second listen to our very special episode with Claudia Sulewski. Sulewski is the founder of Cyklar, a bodycare brand that bridges the gap between luxurious self-care and efficacious formulas. Before becoming a beauty founder, Sulewski was one of the original beauty YouTubers. She started her YouTube channel when she was just 13 years old, under the name BeyondBeautyStar, posting makeup tutorials, vlogs, and other lifestyle content. By the time she graduated high school, she'd grown a massive following that allowed her to monetize her content as an official YouTube partner and make her hobby her full-time job. Sulewski's status as an internet sensation reached new heights when Teen Vogue tapped her to host the publication's YouTube channel as a red carpet correspondent. Her years of experience shooting and editing her own content and using herself as talent for her creative vision were also crucial when she expanded into traditional acting and directing. She's gone on to lead a successful career on and off camera since getting her start on YouTube, booking roles for hit shows like Shrinking and directing music videos for her fiancé, Grammy Award–winning artist Finneas O'Connell. Her career has now come full circle with Cyklar after years of filming GRWM videos and self-care routines for her millions of loyal followers. Since Sulewski was on the show, Cyklar has officially launched in Sephora and gone viral on social media several times over.

There are celebrity weddings...There are over-the-top celebrity weddings...And then there's whatever the heck happened in today's episode.The gang dives headfirst into the internet's latest obsession with a completely unhinged conspiracy theory surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding. Apparently it wasn't just a wedding—it was an eldritch ritual to summon an ancient cosmic deity while Jared Leto prepared to become the real-life Morbius. Sure. Makes perfect sense. That's how mornings start around here.Once everyone agrees that absolutely none of this sounds impossible, Rafe introduces a brand-new game that immediately exposes just how much celebrity wedding trivia everyone somehow knows. Is the Empire State Building really lighting up for the wedding? Did Adam Sandler write a song? Were chicken nuggets topped with caviar? Did Taylor sing her vows? Who leaked wedding secrets? How many Grammy Awards were secretly wandering around the reception? And perhaps the biggest mystery of all...why does King Scott know so much about Taylor Swift?The competition gets way more intense than anyone expected as everyone argues through true-or-false questions that become increasingly ridiculous while somehow remaining just believable enough to fool the room. Every answer turns into another excuse to roast billionaires, celebrity culture, impossible wedding budgets, elaborate menus, sports legends, and anyone willing to admit they've been following celebrity news a little too closely.Expect fake facts, real laughs, terrible strategy, conspiracy theories that somehow sound convincing, and enough sarcastic commentary to make every Swiftie slightly uncomfortable—but hopefully still entertained.If you've ever wondered what happens when a comedy podcast gives a room full of sarcastic morning radio hosts a celebrity trivia game based almost entirely on internet insanity, this is exactly that.Spoiler alert: somebody unexpectedly becomes the resident Swift expert, someone else keeps overthinking every question, and everyone leaves wondering whether chicken nuggets and caviar actually belong together.It's another completely unnecessary deep dive into pop culture chaos that somehow becomes one of the funniest competitions we've played.Whether you're here for celebrity gossip, sports references, bizarre internet theories, or simply watching adults confidently answer questions they absolutely don't know, this comedy podcast delivers exactly the kind of beautiful disaster you've come to expect.Because around here, facts are optional, confidence is mandatory, and somehow that's what makes this comedy podcast work.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
