GRAMMY® Hall of Fame Honoree Iconic Hit Writer: "At The Hop", "Rockn Roll is Here to Stay", "You Don't Own Me" "1-2-3" & MoreJohn Madara was born & grew up in Philadelphia, PA at a time when the city was teeming with groups and artists such as The Spaniels, the Clovers, Harvey and the Moonglows, Billy Ward and the Dominos and the great Jackie Wilson. Rock and Roll was starting to take root and John Madara was destined to make rock and roll history. In 1957, John launched his solo career, with his first record, "Be My Girl," reaching the national charts. That same year, John co-wrote with Dave White a song called “Do The Bop." On the advice of Dick Clark, whose local show, American Bandstand, had just gone national, the title and lyrics were changed to “At The Hop." Danny and the Juniors, recorded it, and by Christmas of 1957, it had reached the top of the pop and R&B charts worldwide. “At The Hop” remained #1 for an astounding 7 weeks, the first record ever to reach that success, and it has remained a rock and roll classic to this day. Following “At The Hop," John produced and co-wrote with Dave such mega-hits as “The Fly” (Chubby Checker)“You Don't Own Me” (Lesley Gore) among other smash hits. He also produced for Danny and The Juniors, “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay." He also discovered one of the most prolific duos of all time, Daryl Hall and John Oates. With them he produced two albums. John moved to L.A. in the ‘70s, where he found success writing and producing for movies and television. He produced the soundtrack for the James Caan/Marsha Mason movie, “Cinderella Liberty," and also produced the title song for the Cliff Robertson movie “Ace Eli and Roger of the Sky.” In the mid ‘70s, he was music supervisor for the hugely successful “Sid and Marty Kroft Comedy Hour." This was in conjunction with an ABC Comedy Hour and network special which launched the new ABC season Madara/White songs have reached millions of people through radio, films and television. Worldwide sales of their songs and productions have reached over 2 hundred million records. Their songs have appeared on some of the biggest grossing soundtrack albums of all time, including “American Graffiti” and “Woodstock” (At The Hop), “Grease” (Rock and Roll is Here to Stay), “Hairspray” (The Fly and You Don't Own Me), “Mr. Holland's Opus” (1-2-3), and “Dirty Dancing” and “The First Wives Club” (You Don't Own Me). It was the 1996 hit film, “The First Wives Club," that paid the contemporary power of their talent the ultimate compliment by not only featuring “You Don't Own Me” but by making it the theme of the movie. John has continued to write and produce music, working with young, up-and-coming artists. At The Hop” was voted by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the top 100 songs of the century. The soundtrack album, “Grease," was voted one of the top albums of the century. “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay” is featured on that album.

But we also talked about the anniversary of Eddie Van Halen's death and his donation to the Mr. Holland's Opus foundation. How did THAT lead to a "Todd Bergeth met Hulk Hogan" story?? There's also comparing your chances to winning the Powerball to Scrabble (huh?), plus giraffe poo and coaches' day.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we get you ready to go back to school with Mr. Holland's Opus. Life is what happens when you're making other plans. We make plans, deciding that we have to accomplish something to call our life a success. We ask the wrong people if our work and our lives matter. But if we focus more on who we can connect to today and less on what we did not achieve, it's the people who create the symphony of our lives. Join us as we discover God's truth in this movie. Questions Who really knows you, your whole story? What plans do you have? How has life happened around the plans you've made? Where have you been stuck, pointing the wrong way? What dreams have you given up to take care of the life that is happening? Where have you, like falling in love with John Coltrane, changed your approach over time? What have you fallen in love with all over again? How do you look at your current stage in life as a waste, or an obstacle to where you really want to go? What does it mean to have a transactional relationship with someone? When have you done this? What does a transformational relationship look like? Where have you experienced these? Where do you have joy in your life? If you knew you had a year left to live, how would your life change? What's the difference between happiness and joy? What decisions/relationships are composing the symphony of your life? Where do you feel like all your effort didn't matter? Where do you take your question of “Did it matter?” Where do you feel like you've fallen short of what you wanted to accomplish? What would it be like to list the things you have actually done and accomplished? Check out our YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@menatthemovies) for bonus content.

John Madara was born on May 28, 1936 and grew up in Philadelphia, at a time when the city was teeming with groups and artists such as The Spaniels, The Clovers, Harvey and The Moonglows, Billy Ward and The Dominos and the great Jackie Wilson. Rock and roll was starting to take root and John Madara was destined to make rock and roll history. In 1957, John launched his solo career, with his first record, "Be My Girl," reaching the National charts. That same year, John co-wrote with Dave White a song called "Do The Bop." On the advice of Dick Clark, whose local show, American Bandstand, had just gone National, the title and lyrics were changed to "At The Hop." Danny and The Juniors recorded it, and by Christmas of 1957 it had reached the top of the pop and R&B charts worldwide. "At The Hop" remained #1 for an astounding 7 weeks, the first record ever to reach that success, and it has remained a rock and roll classic to this day. Barry) and “You Don't Own Me” (Lesley Gore). He also produced for Danny and The Juniors, “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay." In the Mid ‘60s, John, Dave and local D.J. Ray Gilmore formed a group called “The Spokesmen” and released “The Dawn of Correction," an answer song to the enormous hit “Eve of Destruction” by Barry McGuire. At the same time, John was producing for other artists when he discovered a young man, Leon Huff, who later teamed up with Kenny Gamble and became one of the most prolific songwriting teams in the history of rock and roll, defining an entire category of Black popular music known as "The Sound of Philadelphia." He also discovered one of the most prolific duos of all time, Daryl Hall and John Oates. With them he produced two albums. In 1965, John and Dave started their own publishing company, discovering and signing new songwriters. The company was very successful, and in 1984, it was sold to Michael Jackson. In 1967, John, Dave and Local D.J. Ray Gilmore wrote the song, "Sadie The Cleaning Lady," which became a huge hit in Australia with singer, Johnny Farnham. John moved to L.A. in the ‘70s, where he found success writing and producing for movies and television. He produced the soundtrack for the James Caan/Marsha Mason movie, “Cinderella Liberty," and also produced the title song for the Cliff Robertson movie “Ace Eli and Roger of the Sky.” In the mid ‘70s, he was music supervisor for the hugely successful “Sid and Marty Kroft Comedy Hour." This was in conjunction with an ABC Comedy Hour and network special which launched the new ABC season. During that time, John wrote and produced the music for the show, and was hands on with the mixing and editing. In the late ‘70s, he also wrote the theme song for ABC Sports, which ran for two years. Las Vegas was also becoming a happening place for singers and performers. So it would seem appropriate that John would spend two years of his life working with one of the most successful performers of all time, Wayne Newton. He produced two of Wayne's albums and also produced and wrote songs for a Christmas television special for Wayne on CBS. In the mid ‘80s, John teamed up with one of the great film animators of all time, Ralph Bakshi. Ralph, known for the controversial film “Fritz The Cat," and also the highly regarded films “American Pop” and “Lord Of The Rings," needed songs for his upcoming animated film “Hey Good Lookin." John collaborated with the extremely talented writer/singer Ric Sandler, and they wrote and arranged all 18 songs in the film, which John produced. Ric also performed all of the songs. Time Magazine and Playboy raved about the film and later called it a cult classic. Through the years, John has produced albums and singles for companies such as CBS, Warner Bros., Polydor, Atlantic, Paramount, 20th Century, MGM and ABC Records. Madara & White songs have reached millions of people through radio, films and television. Worldwide sales of their songs and productions have reached over 2 hundred million records. Their songs have appeared on some of the biggest grossing soundtrack albums of all time, including “American Graffiti” and “Woodstock” (At The Hop), “Grease” (Rock and Roll is Here to Stay), “Hairspray” (The Fly and You Don't Own Me), “Mr. Holland's Opus” (1-2-3), and “Dirty Dancing” and “The First Wives Club” (You Don't Own Me). It was the 1996 hit film, “The First Wives Club," that paid the contemporary power of their talent the ultimate compliment by not only featuring “You Don't Own Me” but by making it the theme of the movie. Contemporary, in fact, has proven to be one of the mainstays of John Madara's contributions through the years. He has consistently offered the world of music songs that speak clearly of given eras, but have equal impact on all eras. John has continued to write and produce music, working with young, up-and-coming artists. He has always been a futurist, excited about working with new technology and incorporating it into his music and productions. His hands-on approach to every project he is involved in, whether it be as a writer, producer, music supervisor, editor, engineer or mixer, has enabled John to maintain the sound that is uniquely his own. In March of 2001, “At The Hop” was voted by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the top 100 songs of the century. The soundtrack album, “Grease," was voted one of the top albums of the century. “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay” is featured on that album.

We queried ChatGPT: “Tell me about Education and AI.” Response: AI has the potential to revolutionize education. With AI-powered tools, teachers can analyze student performance data, adapt teaching methods to suit individual students' needs, automate administrative task to free up time for lesson planning and support for students, identify patterns and trends in student data, and inform curriculum decisions. Some worry about AI algorithm bias toward certain students or groups. We asked ChatGPT: “Will human teachers be replaced by robot teachers?” Response: While there have been significant advancements in AI and robotics, it is unlikely that human teachers will be completely replaced by robot teachers.The most effective approach is likely to be a combination of human teachers and technology. We also asked ChatGPT for fictional movie quotes about Teachers. – “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” – Dead Poets Society, 1989 – “It's not about how much you know. It's about how effectively you can share that knowledge with others.” – The Karate Kid, 1984 –“Teaching is not about answering questions but about questioning answers.” – Mr. Holland's Opus, 1995 We'll ask Bob Ficken, Dr. Danielle Hankins, Brian Roemmele, Karen Gibson and Eric Myers for their take on The Future of Education and AI: Robot Substitute Teachers?

On today's episode, we're putting on our best parkas, looking for guys on Goth4Goth, and heading over to Pendleton University while we revisit the absolute 90s horror classic, Urban Legend (1998). This movie was directed by Jamie Blanks and written by Silvio Horta.This movie stars Alicia Witt (Cecil B. Demented, Twin Peaks, Mr. Holland's Opus), Rebecca Gayheart (Scream 2, Dead Like Me, Jawbreaker), Jared Leto (My So-Called Life, The Dallas Buyer's Club, Suicide Squad), Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville, Sorority Boys, Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil), and Tara Reid (The Big Lebowski, American Pie, Sharknado). We also have some fabulous cameos from Robert Englund (Freddy Kreuger), Brad Dourif (Chucky from Child's Play), and Danielle Harris (Jamie Lloyd from Halloween 4 and 5).This is an absolute staple of late 90s slashers, and really brought the idea of urban legends into the popular culture. The story of how the film's director (Jamie Blanks) and writer (Silvio Horta) got to make this film is also a great story, too! Pull up on this movie as soon as you can.

Actor and singer-songwriter Alicia Witt has been acting since the age of 7, when she made her film debut in David Lynch's sci fi classic Dune. She was most recently seen in I Care A Lot on Netflix, starring Rosamund Pike and Dianne Wiest, and leading the cast of the December release Modern Persuasion. Other recent credits include Netflix's Orange Is The New Black as Zelda; along with The Walking Dead, Supernatural, ABC's Nashville, FOX's The Exorcist, and Showtime's 3rd season of David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Films include Two Weeks' Notice, Last Holiday, The Upside of Anger, Mr. Holland's Opus, Urban Legend, Four Rooms, 88 Minutes, Urban Legend and Vanilla Sky. Alicia is also well known to Hallmark Channel audiences for her Christmas movies, beginning with 2013's A Very Merry Mixup; her eighth annual holiday film for the network, Christmas Tree Lane, which she produced, wrote the story for, and featured two of Witt's original Christmas songs, was released for the 2020 holiday season. Witt co-produced her next album, The Conduit, with Jordan Lehning and Bill Reynolds in Nashville TN, where she resides. Led by the first two singles, Chasing Shadows and Talk To You, the record comes out September 24th. A classically trained former competitive pianist, Alicia's music has been described as 'sharply personal, boldly melodic pop originals in the Carole King/Billy Joel vein' and 'touching lost-and-found love ballads' (Philadelphia Inquirer). Alicia has performed her original piano-driven pop music all over the world, including at the renowned Grand Ole Opry. Alicia has also opened for Ben Folds Five, Rachel Platten, and Jimmy Webb, to name a few. Her 2018 release, 15000 Days, was produced by Grammy-winning producer Jacquire King (James Bay, Norah Jones, Kings of Leon, Dawes). Witt's previous album, Revisionary History, was produced by Ben Folds and was described as 'Grey Seal era Elton John, an alt-universe Fiona Apple, and a film noir chanteuse notching her nights in cigarette burns on the fallboard' (NASHVILLE SCENE). As a musical guest, Alicia has appeared on numerous shows including NPR's Weekend Edition, CBS' Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Queen Latifah Show, WGBH'S Open Studio on PBS, Good Day Nashville, KTLA's Morning Show, Good Morning Washington, and many performances on Hallmark's Home & Family Show. Alicia's music has been heard in numerous TV shows and movies over the past 10 years, including her ironic Christmas song 'I'm Not Ready for Christmas', which was featured in her Hallmark Christmas movie of the same name. Witt can add author to her resume with Small Changes, out October 5 2021 from Harper Horizons. The book is an inspiring, welcoming and simple yet effective guide to health, happiness and sustainable living. Instead of promoting a rigid diet, Small Changes will instead offer readers a stress-and-judgment-free approach for enacting easy, incremental changes across all areas of life. On stage, Witt starred in Neil LaBute's Tony nominated play Reasons to Be Pretty at the Geffen Playhouse. She also appeared at London's Royal Court theatre in Terry Johnson's Piano/Forte and made her West End debut with The Shape of Things. She has also performed at Williamstown Theatre Festival and is a regular participant in the 24-Hour Plays on Broadway and the 24-Hour Musicals off-Broadway. Other significant roles include Showtime's House of Lies, NBC's Friday Night Lights, CBS' The Mentalist and NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent. She spent 4 years on the CBS hit show Cybill and has also appeared on the HBO series The Sopranos, CBS's Two and a Half Men, Ally McBeal, and David Lynch's original Twin Peaks.

Vidcast: https://youtu.be/VPOkjMpecZc Imagine that you're waiting for a biopsy report, a job offer, a college or grad school acceptance, or a colonoscopy. You're on pins and needles anxious. Just how do you cope? A new study from UC-Riverside gives you a novel strategy: watching an awe-inducing or heart-tugging movie. The researchers studied a total of 729 subjects all stressed awaiting important test results. Groups were exposed to various videos including one of an awe-inducing sunrise with orchestral accompaniment, one of cute animals playing, and the third a rather boring documentary about padlock manufacture. Those who experienced awe reported more positive emotions and significantly less anxiety while waiting than the the subjects who screened the less inspiring selections. So just what is awe? The psychologists define it as a “transportive mindset” of the sort often triggered by a tear-jerking movie. I have a few of those that work every time: It's A Wonderful Life, Miracle On 34th Street, and Mr. Holland's Opus. The take home point from this study is to load a few of these videos on my phone so that next time I'm awaiting some anxiety-provoking news, I'll be prepared. You should do the same!

When it comes to finding success in show business, Mark Schoenfeld has proven again and again that it's not just about knocking on doors—it's about knocking those doors down. His career took off when he knocked on the door of the home of the then-president of Epic Records, Ron Alexenburg. He did so one random morning, unannounced, and uninvited. After Alexenburg screamed at him to get off his property, Mark yelled back, “But believe me, you're gonna want to know me!” He meant it. Alexenburg soon became Schoenfeld's employer, and later his manager, executive producer, investor, business partner, and friend. Mark took his bombastic style to Hollywood, where he wrote music for movies while writing and producing songs for Polygram, EMI, Motown, and Capitol Records. He also wrote and sold movies to Orion Pictures, Disney, Dreamworks, and Warner Brothers, collaborating with Hugh Jackman and director Stephen Herek (Mr. Holland's Opus, 101 Dalmations) along the way. To those who are lucky enough to know him, Mark Schoenfeld is more than a talented teacher, mentor, and friend—he's an inspiration that drives everyone around him to go out and conquer their dreams. In this episode of Coffee in the Green Room, your host Deneen White had the pleasure of interviewing Mark. Mark is a good friend of VIP Ignite Live, a mentor to our talent who are a part of the VIP Elite Talent Academy, and a frequent speaker at VIP Ignite live and virtual events.Mark shares his journey of how he started with nothing and is now a Hollywood and Broadway heavyweight!FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT VIPIGNITE https://vipignitelive.com/CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/vipigniteliveCHECK US OUT ON INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/vipigniteCHECK US OUT ON TWITTER:https://www.twitter.com/vipigniteCHECK OUT THE HOLLYWOOD MINDSET WEBSITE HERE:https://www.hollywoodmindset.comCHECK OUT THE COFFEE IN THE GREEN ROOM PODCAST HERE:https://www.coffeeinthegreenroom.comCHECK OUT THE VIP IGNITE LIVE PODCAST HERE: https://www.vipignitelivepodcast.com

This week Beej takes you back to school but the substitute is in!“Meet Mr. Fisk. He's a member of the covert S.U.B.S.T.I.T.U.T.E. division of the Board of Education. His mission? To quickly and quietly handle any and all supernatural, inexplicable or just plain weird occurrences at schools. In "Parrallel Lines" -- As a surprise enemy puts a dastardly plan in motion, Mr. Fisk questions the very foundation of S.U.B.S.T.I.T.U.T.E. philosophy, while a brand new protege and an extra-dimensional voyage provides him a glimpse of the path-not-taken.

Things will never be the same for Mr. Fisk as he confronts an adversary who knows him better than he knows himself! Plus a bonus prequel story: In "The Case of the Photocopy Clones," Mr. Fisk must deal with a science lab full of dopplegangers, in a case of duplicate identity.

It's an action-packed romp that sets the stage for the subsequent mini-series and leaves the reader pondering just what Mr. Fisk's briefcase contains. "In all honesty this book was a lot of fun. It does what any good intro issue should do, by introducing the reader to the cast and giving them a little back story. The action in this book was probably the highlight though. I think that what I was able to walk away with was some mystery and definitely some intrigue." -- Horrornews.net”http://www.comixology.com/FISK-the-S-U-B-S-T-I-T-U-T-E-1/digital-comic/713688?utm_source=comiXology-iOS&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=shareWritten byDino Caruso - @CarusoComicsArt byJason Copland - @JasonCoplandShawn Richison - @shawnrichisonColored byDijjo - @DijjoColorist
I'm going to begin with a story – ask some deep questions for us to think about, give you a clear definition of success and end with a 1-min clip from Mr. Holland's Opus.

This is where normal, indecision and ambiguity come to die. Welcome to the 48 Days Radio Show. Questions: 1. The Mexican Fisherman 2. What do success and freedom mean to you? How will it change your life when you get there? 3. What do you really need to be happy and fulfilled? 4. Would a simpler life allow you more freedom from chasing more money? 5. What's the price you are paying for getting more? 6. If you died tomorrow, what unfulfilled dreams would you regret having never lived? 7. What's keeping you from living those dreams today?

You know you're good – but it doesn't seem that anyone cares. Apparently excellence is not enough. How can you inspire others so they rally to your cause and see you as a leader? These seven traits can transform your success. This week's questions: I surpassed my goal for 2016, we shot for $300K but did somewhere in the neighborhood of $550k in total sales. I'm a campus minister at a top 10 university, and it is not going well. I make very little yearly income by picking up 10 cent cans and have large gaps between traditional employment. How should I handle this on a job application and/or resume I want to leave my job but don't want to be selfish in anyway, my conscience tells me to not let people down. What makes a person inspiring and what can those of us who are not naturally inspiring do to grow in this area? “Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird, That cannot fly.”― Langston Hughes — Tweet This Show Notes: Episode – 04-28-17 Title: N/A Subtitle: N/A Summary: In this episode, Dan Miller opens with this week's theme of “My life is not inspiring.” More often than not, people think they aren't impacting others by what they do – they believe the monotonous tasks they do on a daily basis are not inspiring. However, Dan quickly debunks this myth, and we're reminded by this podcast that each of us do, in fact, all contribute something significant to the world in one way or another. Listen as Dan shares success stories and answers questions regarding life, passion, and career. Sponsored By: FreshBooks is offering a 30 day, unrestricted free trial to my listeners.
