Juice (1992) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Greg Alba and Coy Jandreau dive into Juice, the 1992 crime thriller directed by Ernest R. Dickerson. This film captures the raw energy of Harlem through the lives of four teenagers—Q (Omar Epps, Love & Basketball, Higher Learning), Bishop (Tupac Shakur, Poetic Justice, Above the Rim), Raheem (Khalil Kain, Love Jones, Girlfriends), and Steel (Jermaine Hopkins, Lean on Me, Phat Beach)—as they grapple with friendship, loyalty, and the dangerous pursuit of respect, or "juice." The film's iconic moments include the tense convenience store robbery that sets the plot in motion, Bishop's chilling descent into violence and power obsession, and Q's internal conflict between his DJ dreams and his loyalty to his friends. With unforgettable lines like Bishop's cold declaration, “I am crazy... but you know what else? I don't give a f**,”* the film delivers a deep exploration of power, control, and identity. Supporting cast members include Cindy Herron (En Vogue, Witch Hunt) as Yolanda, Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Avengers) as Trip, and Queen Latifah (Chicago, Living Single) as Ruffhouse M.C. Juice remains a cornerstone in hip-hop cinema, blending gritty storytelling with a cultural backdrop that highlights the pressures of inner-city life. Tupac Shakur's breakout performance in the film only cemented his legacy, both as an actor and as a voice of his generation. To celebrate Tupac's influence, here are some of his most iconic songs: “California Love,” “Changes,” “Hit ‘Em Up,” “Dear Mama,” “Hail Mary,” “Keep Ya Head Up,” “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” “Ambitionz Az a Ridah,” “Me Against the World,” and “I Ain't Mad at Cha.” Follow Coy Jandreau:  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...

Music  Primus, 1998, Brown Album 2 Pac, 1995, Me Against the world

“First time I had cancer, I was scared. Second time, I was mad. Third time, I was relieved. I can drink what I want. Who wants to mess with a guy who has inoperable cancer?” Nick's resume reads like a work of fiction: Four-time cancer survivor. Motivational speaker. Arrested in Vegas for having sex with a hooker. But what's truly fascinating about Nick's story is how it mirrors the experiences of so many others—the universal quest for belonging, security, and love, juxtaposed with the desire to feel unique and special, which often creates a profound sense of separation. In today's episode, we explore: Terminal Uniqueness: How we use our perceived uniqueness to justify our actions and create separation, which can fuel addiction. The 'Me Against the World' Attitude: Why this mindset is a losing battle, given that someone loses and the world has been around for thousands of years. The Illusion of Strength: How building emotional armor might project power but often masks a victim mindset. Sobriety as a Daily Goal: Nick's number one goal each year is to stay sober. Even after 10 years of sobriety, he starts every morning with that intention. Remorse vs. Shame: Understanding the difference and how Nick holds no shame for his past actions, as he no longer identifies with that person. And let's give a shoutout to Nick, who celebrates 10 years sober on July 14th!  About Nick After being thrown out of a Las Vegas hotel in a drunken haze, jeopardizing his career and relationships, Nick Klingensmith had to make a change. A 4-time cancer survivor, type-1 diabetic, recovering alcoholic with herniated discs, nerve damage and sleep apnea, he defies it all when he finds Obstacle Course Racing. Refusing to accept his limitations, he's completed over 100 Spartan Races, 6 Major Marathons, several Ultras and scores of other obstacle and endurance events.

This week, we're discussing every album by Tupac Shakur. Or, more accurately, every album by 2Pac and one by Makaveli. It would take us a year to cover all his posthumous albums, so we're sticking with just one. If you've heard of music, then you know 2Pac, plain and simple. But how do we feel about his actual full-length albums?

The incredible Malcolm Greenidge is best known in the music world as E.D.I. Mean, aka EDIDON, the Hip Hop artist, and entrepreneur famous for being an original member of the Outlawz with the legendary Tupac Shakur. He worked on the 2016 Tupac biopic All Eyez On Me as an Executive Consultant and Music Supervisor.Raised in New York, Greenidge became friends with Tupac Shakur's cousin Katari “Kastro” Cox at High School, and along with Tupac's godbrother Yafeu “Kadafi” Fula formed a rap trio under the names Thoro Headz and Young Thugs, with Greenidge initially rapping under the name Big Malcom.By this time Tupac had become a huge rap star and he let the trio guest appear on his 1993 single Holla If Ya Hear Me. The following year Mutah “Napoleon” Beale joined the trio and they renamed themselves Dramacydal, going on to guest appear on Tupac's next record, his 1995 album Me Against the World. After Tupac's release from prison they all banded together to form the group Outlaw Immortalz, later changed to Outlawz, and it was here that Greenidge became known as E.D.I. Mean.After Tupac was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996, E.D.I. Mean and the rest of the Outlawz moved back to the East Coast.Then following Kadafi's murder, the group returned to California and signed a deal with Death Row Records. The Outlawz released their debut album, Still I Rise, in 1999. Their second and third albums, 2000's Ride Wit Us Or Collide Wit Us, and 2001's Novakane, were released on their own label Outlawz Records. E.D.I. Mean continued to record and produce and collaborate with fellow Hip Hop artists, and also pursued his solo career, releasing his debut album, The Stash Spot, in 2010. His latest solo album, O.G. Part 2: Classics in Session, came out in 2020, and the single One Nation (featuring Xzibit), was released in 2021.E.D.I. Mean regularly connects with his legions of followers and fans through Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, posting pictures and videos about his life around music. He is also available for that personalised shout-out via the Cameo platform, and has a dedicated YouTube channel, E.D.I Mean.

Dem Vinyl Boyz are back again and this week they're dropping the needle on 'Me Against The World' a hip-hop album by arguably the greatest rapper of all time Tupac. It's an amazing, cohesive body of work that completely illustrates all the nuances that made up the complicated persona of Pac. His previous works showed flashes of brilliance, but Me Against the World became a manifestation of his artistic vision and his ongoing evolution as a Black man in America during the 90s. “Dear Mama” released as the lead single on the album peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, going platinum, which earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Solo Performance. The song describes his poverty-stricken childhood, his mother's drug addiction, and her triumph against insurmountable odds. Make sure to subscribe and follow for our latest reviews.

We all love a showdown scene. We want to see the good guy stare down the bad guy and see who flinches first. In this case, in Jerusalem with Pilate and Jesus, we all know who is who, but what each person represents goes all the way to the top, meaning beyond this world and into the heavens. Jesus facing Pilate is the flesh version of the true God versus Zeus, and we can see the stark difference between these worldviews in this brief interaction. This is like a face-off of the two opposing forces coming to a climax, as Abraham started the path toward this showdown long ago. One of them will be revealed as a fraud. The backstory of this showdown starts way back with Abraham. So we need to backtrack a long ways and talk about him. The reason Israel is so strange, and so hated, is because they believe that the one true God was never defeated. That is the reason they do not fit in with others. Let me qualify this, however, because the nation of Israel is constantly falling into worship of the many gods. The draw of the world around them is strong, so it's incorrect to suggest that there was this group of people walking in lock-step, arm-in-arm, from Abraham onward. Within the people of Israel, there was a subset of people that kept the faith. From Abraham to Mary, there always remained some percentage, some handful of devout people, who kept faith in the one God even when the chips were way, way down. Within that special line, even many of them faltered. They strayed, some further than others. This is the true underdog story, because this journey took nearly 2,000 years in order to get to Jesus and it's full of twists and turns and progress and backtracking. This leads me up to the idea of a “chosen people,” which always seemed so odd, if not arrogant. To think that God had selected a group of people as “chosen” rankled me because, like everyone outside of a group, it's irritating to be among the un-chosen. Being un-chosen seems to imply that you are the damned. This upsets people. Being told you are going to burn in hell because of who you are is like hitting someone with a pie in the face. Not a fresh apple pie, but like a fresh cow pie, right in the face. If you hear a message that makes you feel lesser or damned, anger is the only response. This can be enraging. No one wants to hear about their inability to be saved because of the family he belongs to, or what nation he lives in, or what language he speaks, or what skin color he is, or who he is married to, or that he's done something in the past that cannot be forgiven. If someone is telling you that they are chosen, but you are not chosen, that puts up a wall. And if you are not chosen, then you are not equal, not worthy, not good enough. Maybe you even feel that you are somehow bad without any possibility of fixing or altering the situation. (This is getting dangerously close to the correct answer of why we need a savior, but for now let's just stick with the problem of being un-chosen.) The unchosen feel attacked, and the best way to stop an attack, is to counter-attack. Newton's third law of motion applies well to the ego in terms of equal and opposite reactions when you start claiming chosen status. So on the outside looking in, the idea of being self-declared as the “chosen people” seems like a move that Jack might make on the island in Lord of the Flies, but you have to look closer.Our pride rises up against the idea of being left out. Today we might call this FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out. Anyone that claims a special status will have outsiders react in several ways: they may want to join them, they many want to reject them, or they may want to destroy them. Everyone feels this sense of rejection in some area, and attempting to make peace in our heart, we must find a group or ideology that includes us. Atheists and non-believers feel rejected because they are told they are not “saved,” which sounds like another way of saying “chosen.” Surely we have all seen believers use this idea of being “saved” like a trophy and it often chases more people away from the tent rather than bringing them in. But Abraham and his people had a reason for being called chosen that is different from what we think of today as “saved.” Abraham is said to have been called to leave his home by God. He becomes a nomad in old age, leaving his home. Why does he leave? Because he doesn't fit in. Everyone at the party is drinking from the cup of the moon god and he cannot take a drink without betraying his conviction that there is only one God. There is a parallel here to being called out into the wilderness like other great figures, like Jesus, John the Baptist, Moses, St. Benedict, or St. Anthony of the Desert. Genesis just mentions this casually, but Abraham is called away from the place he lives because his people do not worship the one God. His hometown worships an idol. Due to his belief, he separates and excludes himself from the mainstream. He does this not because he wanted to be left out, not to be alone, not because he wanted to be a nomad, but because the worldview he held required that he evacuate the city or be swallowed up. He has chosen to worship the one God. Because of this, he can't live among the people. I'll do my best to explain what I mean by that. I think the hard question is this: How could any group think they were special? Were they not humans like the rest of us?The answer of course is: yes, they were just ordinary people. Abraham was an ordinary man who ate and slept and committed sins like any other person. But he made a choice to believe something that no other people believed. If you believe in the creation and rebellion stories of Genesis, in the one God who defeated all contenders for the title belt, then you must reject the wider world of idols. This is the situation the Old Testament covers in detail. The reason the wagons are circled in the entire Old Testament is not because the Israelites enjoy or seek conflict. The conflict seeks them. The wagons are circled because they are the only culture hanging on to the idea of a single God. They are the sole believers that the one true God existed before everything else. They alone believe that the first Being was never defeated. Every other people around them has granted assent to the death of the primordial god or gods and now have lesser gods for everything. Creating a club may cause an angry reaction among those uninvited, but a guaranteed way to animate hatred is to tell someone that their god is fake. Telling your neighbor that their way of life is false makes for fightin' words. Like Merle Haggard said, “They're walking on the fightin' side of me.” That is how you get punched in the eye. But as anyone knows who holds a dear belief or conviction, there is no way to preserve that belief or way of life unless you are willing to proclaim that belief and then live out that way of life. Otherwise you are just a fan or hobbyist. It's easy to click the Like button and call yourself a believer. It's much harder to put down the phone and take action. If you declare a belief but don't take action, then you probably don't really believe it. You are a tourist or maybe just opinionated. If you truly have a conviction in the belief, then you cannot just “fit in” with everyone else. The only way for the Hebrews to “fit in” with a pagan world was to abandon your belief in the one God, which instantly discredits and devalues the one God. In terms of faith in the one true God, everyone else on planet earth has already done that. This kind of situation is not foreign to our own experiences. We have all felt peer pressure. Anyone who has been to high school or college parties may have been in this dilemma. Or maybe a boyfriend or girlfriend put you into a dilemma where you had to make a choice that tested your beliefs. For example, no child has ever said that they would someday like to be addicted to drugs. Children know it's a bad idea. But someday that child will grow up and be in a room at a party where everyone is partaking in something they have sworn to never do, and only then will they find out if what they declared is true or false. The same can be said for drinking, where a child will declare, “I will never get drunk,” but someday at a party there will be a chance to find out if what they declared was true. As the plastic Solo cup is nudged at them, they will be urged to take a drink: “Everyone does it, it's no big deal.” “Don't be such a stick in the mud.” “Trust me, you'll enjoy it. It's so freeing.” The argument is made to join the ways of the others. The prosecution makes it's case, through temptation to fit in and have fun, the defense sits at rest with it's past declaration of belief. In the end, the person will make his decision and either drink or not drink. If the person decides to reject the offer, they choose a harder path, because it often means being alone for the night. By rejecting the offer, he is himself rejected. But that is the price of having convictions. The reject must leave the party, because he doesn't fit in. He has to find new friends. To fit in can mean giving in and accepting something that you cannot do without betraying your beliefs. Abraham is where the tide begins to turn back against the grain, against the world. Tupac had a song “Me Against the World.” He should have featured Abraham in the video, but unfortunately these two lived 4,000 years apart. But Abraham really could have said, “It's just me against the world.” I don't know that we'll be talking about Tupac in 4,000 years, but we will likely still be talking about Abraham. When people wonder why the common denominator in Biblical wars and squabbles seems to be Israel, it's because of this belief. They do not bend or conform to the gods and the idols around them. The moment that they do, then they have abandoned the one God. Whether its the gods of Sumerian, Egyptian, or Greco-Roman culture, they must reject them all. They don't give up their belief for anyone or anything, right up until today, whether it's modern paganism or Christianity or Islam or atheism. This hatred remains today against the Jews and Israel, because they still won't bend in their faith and conform. There is a same loathing for Christians, for the same reason, as they refuse to “just fit in” with the culture, because the moment you change your beliefs to fit the culture, then you have no beliefs; you are just like everyone else. This is what drives non-believers crazy, because they think: why can't these people just get with the program? What can't they just fit into the culture? The answer is very simple: they reject the program because the program rejects the one true God, and that is the one thing that the believers cannot reject. Believers argue it the other way, wondering why the culture, the program, can't just believe in the one true God. So you see the problem. There is a bizarre scenario in here that I have to go into briefly. Some Christians hate the Jews and we have ample historical evidence of that. This should baffle anyone with even a modest understanding of salvation history, because without the people of Abraham, the savior would never have arrived. Jesus could not have come from any other group of people, for the exact reason that all other peoples had rejected the idea of one God. Even within the nation itself, the savior had to come through a very specific line of people because they, for the most part, stuck with faith in the one true God. Through one set of people alone could Jesus have come into the world, as they were “chosen” because they chose God. They kept the faith. This is why Christians who hate Jews make no sense at all, as without the Old Covenant and line from Abraham to David to Jesus, there is no salvation. As Paul says, we would still be in our sins. I need to stay on track here though, because this is the big moment. The whole point of the Bible is the story of bringing back worship to the one all-powerful creator God in order to rescue us from the world of the many gods. After the Tower of Babel, the world was pagan and polytheistic. The rest of the Bible is the “return of the king,” the return of the one God. That is the overarching story of the Old and New Testaments. Whenever you go get stuck in a single line of Old Testament violence, recalling this big picture idea is a good idea, because you can easily miss the forest for the trees. In the Old Testament, starting with Abraham, the one true God is worshiped and defended. In the New Testament, the one true God returns to glory, bringing an end to the world of false gods, all for the sake of rescuing us. This happens through a very specific process of selection, from Abraham all the way to Mary. It's important to remember how focused and targeted this selection of people really is. The story narrows and narrows toward one woman. Clearly the whole nation of Israel did not gather in Mary's room during the Annunciation and consent to Gabriel. No, only she said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” She was chosen by God from the chosen people, but this selection, this precision laser-targeting, had to come through the only people on earth who believed in the one God. Could it have happened otherwise? Of course. God can do whatever he wants. But he didn't. This is one of the mysteries of God's ways, and while the rational brain wants to rebel at this idea, it is fitting that God chose to rescue us in the way that he did. Were there other people in the world who believed in the one true God? Possibly, but we don't know. There are no known groups of one God peoples, so just as Abraham has chosen God, it seems that God really has also chosen Abraham. There is at least one man who worships the one God, as we see in a cameo appearance from Melchizedek, which I'll talk about later. He just shows up to bless Abraham, but aside from Melchizedek, the world seems completely empty of people that worship one God. There is a sense that “God is Dead” by the time you reach the end chapter 11 of Genesis. The whole Bible after that chapter is about the restoration of God through this unique line of believers, which is why Abraham is so important to the all three of the major religions of the world today, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The path to salvation returns via Abraham and his dedication to the one God. For Christians, this beginning by Abraham is fulfilled in Mary, mother of Jesus, mother of God. Jesus of course is literally the God-man, Son of God, Son of Man, the incarnation, fully-human and fully-divine. Jesus is the one true God in human form.Of course, the irony is that after all the wars, setbacks, journeys in the desert, time in captivity, and staggering hardships, only some of the Jews convert and join the apostles. Many of the chosen people do not choose to believe in Jesus as the Messiah. But in reading the Old Testament, this is hardly anything new or even surprising. The chosen people stray from the one God in nearly every book of the Old Testament. Being a member of the Israelites, or even being of the line of Judah, or David, or even being a cousin of Mary, doesn't necessarily mean you have chosen to believe in the one true God, and so it also will not mean that everyone will convert to Christianity. Having a social security card doesn't mean you love America, it just means you are in the tax system. Where you live doesn't dictate your faith, even though many nations have tried that and still try to force-feed faith today (all countries do this, not just Saudi Arabia, Iran, Cuba, and China. Every nation demands a kind of faith or it could not stand, some just force the narrative harder). Every Hebrew had free will, just as we have free will today. None of that changed. Peoples of ancient times were not homogenous in their beliefs. They were not one giant blob of uniform ideas, but we tend to think of them like that. The same goes for Romans or pagans. Clearly there were “virtuous pagans,” as Dante calls them in his journey through hell. You can find loads of writing on virtue from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Cicero, Virgil, Plato, Socrates, and many others. So it's absurd to pretend that all Israelites lay prostrate daily before the one God, while all Romans or Sumerians ate their children like Saturn. They were just like us, with some being more devout, and others being less devout, and still others not believing at all. For a specific example in our world, you can go from one end of a city and find a strict Catholic church that the Pharisees might even find homey, and then go to the other end and find a church that appears to be unaware of all doctrine. Yet both consider their parish to be fully Catholic, part of the Mother Church. There is gray area between churches, but specific statements of faith are non-negotiable, such as that there is only one God (plus everything else in the Nicene Creed). What I'm getting at is that faith cannot be forced among the chosen or the un-chosen people, and even among the devout believers there can be significant differences in what “devout” actually means. To break this out of religious terms, consider the rewards card at your local gas station or grocery store. Having a rewards card doesn't mean you love the gasoline or groceries from that store. You may get gas and groceries daily from the store, but you have no real loyalty to it. You may only have signed up for the rewards card because of a discount or because it's close to your house, but whatever the reason you are now a member. The moment a better deal arrives, you may dump that rewards card. Membership is not a good indicator of belief. It can be a mere matter of convenience, or mutual benefit, or tradition, or dumb-luck. (I will say, however, that I have met some very devout Costco members, making it seem like a religion for some.) Membership does not equate to conviction. Likewise, the chosen people have many members that wander into other religions of the surrounding culture. They may keep their rewards card for when it helps them, but the stories of the Old Testament has many, many instances where Israelites get caught shopping with pagan reward cards at Baal's Golden Mini-Mart. St. Paul had rewards cards (membership and citizenship) in both the Jewish and Roman worlds. This helped him to get his trial moved to Rome, but it didn't spring him from jail. No, the verdict was death for him because he had joined a third club. The new club essentially offered joy in this life and eternal joy in the afterlife. It's a very different kind of club, one that ultimately got him beheaded. This rewards club can bring a lot of anger upon its members. Many Jewish people did not join the new faith, since they did not believe that the messiah had come. This has led to so much confusion and anger over the past two millennia, which is uncharitable, to say the least, and led to downright horrific cruelty. Many Christians seem to forget: the story is not over. We are in the messianic age now, the final age. In this age we are to love God, love one another, and do God's will by keeping his Commandments. We do not know the time when the end will come, and we can ignore the claims of “end-times” authors and apocalyptic highway billboards who proclaim that they have “cracked the code.” All we can do is prepare without knowing, because the day will come when God decides the day has come, not when any person has predicted. This is very plain to see in the Gospel, when it says, “For just as lightning comes from the east and is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Mt 24:27) In other words, it will happen in an instant, and we will not be able to repent when that day arrives. This is why I feel that the “Doomsday Preppers” may want to stop hoarding canned goods and stockpiling bullets, and instead, they would be more wise to pray and give to the poor (the canned goods, I mean, since no one can get nourishment from bullets). Each person's salvation is for that individual to work out with fear and trembling, just as my own is. The saying among addicts is to “Worry about keeping my own side of the street clean.” That is good advice for a store owner and a spiritual person. If I judge anyone, I have immediately lost a sense of humility. Pride is a very difficult animal to cage. So there are two important factors here: first, the story is not over, and second, it's not for me to hand out judgement as I am sorely in need of mercy. As for the chosen people, it is enough for me to know that the Old Covenant was not revoked by the New Covenant and that God's will for them will be done, just as it is for the rest of us (CCC 121). By the time you get through the thousand pages from Genesis to the Gospels, you might think that's the end. It's not. We are just in the third act now waiting for the finale, the climax to happen, around which there is much disagreement and speculation. (If interested in more about Israel, the Church, and the end of Act III see this article from Jimmy Akin that dives into it.) As I mentioned earlier, the heroic tales of ancient Greece read like persuasive arguments for justifying the way of life chosen by the empires of the age. You might say, the stories tell the journey of the people of Zeus, the people who chose Zeus. When you look at the opposing stories in this way, the idea of the chosen people of Israel makes more sense, because the only reason God “chooses” Abraham is because he has “chosen” God. Every city-state around where Abraham lives has chosen some other god.This is kind of a big deal, because again, it's the big picture of the entire Bible. God did not lose any actual power when the nations turned away from him. The story of salvation in the Bible is a big wide turn back to the one true God, to true power and not the power of objects. He was never defeated, but was only defeated in our minds and hearts. The rebellion against God failed in heaven, but we simple humans turned away. Failing to overthrow God, the fallen spirits instead attack his creatures, which is us. These spirits are watching us watch Netflix and sports, as we have once again become distracted from the one God. Now the spirit only has to suggest, “Play next episode?” and we choose to click a button in the affirmative, allowing us to space out and pay homage to the TV god for another hour. Back to Abraham, Israel, and the gang. All nations and peoples have turned away, except for Israel. And even the chosen people struggle to keep this single truth alive of the one God, the all-powerful God, as they suffer repeated, constant temptation and do battle with the worldly influences around them. Not only do they have to fight this battle spiritually, but they literally fight to the death for this belief, which is why there is so much bloodshed in the Old Testament. People consider the Israelites as the warmongers without considering that they are under constant duress for this polar opposite worldview to every people and nation that surrounds them, and survival in that environment requires battle. The alternative is surrender. But for them the only surrender that can happen is to the one God, not to other cultures who believe in false gods. The world tried to squash this one, last, final remaining culture that believed in the one God. They refused defeat and went to war and they slaughtered and they were slaughtered because this idea was worth keeping alive. I think that's what I failed to understand for a long time, that what the people of Abraham are fighting for is the very existence of the one true God in the hearts and minds of men and women. I so often mention that surrender is the key, but there is surrendering to the way of the world, and there is surrendering to God. The surrender must not be to the world, but to God. The good news for those who love competition (I'm looking directly at Americans) is that when you surrender to God, you stop fighting your fellow men and women, so this may sound like rolling over and giving up, but there is a never ending spiritual combat happening and all hands are needed on deck. And this combat is more intense and powerful than playoff football or the free market or presidential politics. The whole point of God “choosing” a people to restore faith in him is to point everyone back to the one God. It's like an English Pointer freezing stiff as a statue and lifting a paw to point to where the hunters needs to go. And we're all seekers, we're all hunters for the truth, but we're easily distracted and confused. We ignore the pointing, thinking we'll get better directions from our phone or by instinct. That is how the fall happened and how we became “scattered” into many nations. The story of how we came to ignore the one God is fully covered in the falls of mankind that occurs in Genesis, in chapters 1-11, and everything that comes after is the return of God to his rightful place. The dramatic ending comes in the interactions between Caiaphas, Pilate, and Jesus in his trial. The conspirators take steps to separate themselves from the deed. As for Pilate, he washes his hands with water, literally, in front of the mob and tells the people, “I am innocent of this man's blood. Look to it yourselves.” But he can't wash it off. He can't extract his role in the death of Jesus any more than Caiaphas can, because they are both stuck fighting in the pit. Jesus even tells Pilate that Caiaphas is more guilty, since Caiaphas handed him over, but Pilate's attempt to wash his hands of the verdict cannot help him. Pilate is still guilty, if only slightly less than Caiaphas who led the campaign to have Jesus killed. The blood on Pilate's hands sinks in like a tattoo. It's never coming out. Choices made long ago set Pilate's life in motion to lead him to the exact spot where he is presiding over the trial of Jesus. Once you have taken the wrong turn, you often can't quit the trail. You must go to the end, or so it seems. The woods is thick. To get on a different trail requires going back to the trailhead, and choosing the right path, but for those far along on the wrong trail, starting over seems impossible. The pressures of the life you choose boxes you in. Sometimes there appears to be no way out, but…there is a way. You must be reborn. You must become like a child again. You must take up your cross. Pilate doesn't have time for repentance during the trial, because his entire life has painted him into a corner. Caiaphas has no interest in being reborn, whereas you can sense this odd tension in Pilate, kind of like Nicodemus. They both seem to want to ask Jesus for help, but they don't. They could all be reborn and change their ways, but they won't. For Pilate, being reborn in the spirit would probably mean he'd be killed by the Romans. To be faithful to the one God requires rejection of the false gods. Pilate, Nicodemus, and Caiaphas all love their own lives too much. They can't change because they don't want to. Giving up their path seems too hard, so it's easier just to keep going. This is exactly how habitual sin works. You can't just easily wash it off. You can't wish it away. You can't stop doing it. You can't quit it. It requires a hard turn against the current, like Abraham did, in order to escape the false gods. Eventually the sin you love the most will paint you into that corner where there is no help, and that is where you will get the chance to make the turn. It's painful and scary, but so liberating. There is only one person who can extract you from the situation you walked yourself into. All three of these people, Pilate, Nicodemus, and Caiaphas, reject the hand that offers help when they need it most, because their position on a tiny pedestal of power seems like too far to fall for their ego to survive. They don't realize that it's exactly the ego that needs to fall and be shattered. So Pilate's attempt to “wash his hands” and remove his involvement of overseeing this kangaroo court in Jerusalem fails miserably. To this day, a billion people utter his name every week when they recite the Nicene Creed, right after the Sunday homily. Caiaphas actually got off pretty easy, in that sense, as we don't recite his name. Pilate is a representative of a world that has chosen many gods over the one God. It's probably safe to say that Pilate, at the time of the trial, would have found the idea of one God ridiculous. Every culture in Pilate's time had bought into the belief that one true God didn't really exist. But Pilate and Rome is not unique in this sense. What happened to Pilate after the trial is unclear, as he may have been executed, or committed suicide, or may have even converted to be a follower of Jesus. His wife may have converted, and is honored in the Eastern Orthodox church as a saint. As for Pilate, it's not really clear. But whatever his end, he played the role as the standin for the existing worldview which ruled from the time of the Tower of Babel until the resurrection of Christ. The nations had created and bowed to fictitious gods for a long time, but this interaction with Pilate is where the tide turned against the false gods for good. This is a public episode.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Paul Williams, Legendary Composer, Lyricist, Actor and AuthorAbout Harvey's Guest:Paul Williams is one of the most beloved and respected music creators in the world today. A lyricist and composer who has won an Oscar Award, three Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, an Ivor Novello International Award, and earned induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, his songs, from “We've Only Just Begun” and “You and Me Against the World” to “An Old Fashioned Love Song” and “The Rainbow Connection,” have touched millions of people for generations. As President and Chairman of the Board of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), he is also a leading spokesman for music creators in the digital age.Williams' standards have been recorded by such diverse musical icons as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, David Bowie, Tony Bennett, The Carpenters, Diana Ross, Luther Vandross, Willie Nelson, Gonzo and Kermit The Frog. Although Williams is widely known as an actor in dozens of films and on television, it is his musical legacy that continues to inspire. His songs and scores have received six Oscar, nine Grammy, six Golden Globe and two Emmy nominations. “The Rainbow Connection,” from the children's classic The Muppet Movie, is one of two Williams' songs that grace the American Film Institute's List of Top Movie Songs of All Time; the second, “Evergreen,” is from the award-winning Barbra Streisand/ Kris Kristofferson remake of A Star Is Born. Additional song scores include the cult favorites Phantom of the Paradise and Ishtar, as well as The Muppet Christmas Carol, Bugsy Malone, and Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas, the latter of which has now been adapted for the stage. Paul created the story and wrote the songs for Disney's Emmy-nominated A Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa and penned the music and lyrics for Garry Marshall's theatrical sensation Happy Days. His recent work has remained wonderfully diverse, having co-written “Beyond” and “Touch” (which he also performed, receiving a Grammy as Featured Artist) on Daft Punk's chart-topping, ‘Album of the Year' Random Access Memories; and writing with Gustavo Santaolalla for the animated film, The Book of Life which received a World Soundtrack Award for their “Apology Song”. They also collaborated on Guillermo del Toro's stage musical adaptation of Pan's Labyrinth.In addition to music creators' rights, Paul is also passionate about recovery, and works tirelessly to destigmatize alcoholism and addiction. His career, life, and work in recovery have been chronicled in the acclaimed documentary, Paul Williams Still Alive, for which Paul wrote the critically acclaimed title track. Sober 30 years, his humorous observations of life, love, and creativity, augmented by the education and knowledge he gained through his studies and certification from UCLA as a Certified Drug Rehabilitation Counselor, has been shared in a best-selling book co-written by Tracey Jackson, entitled Gratitude and Trust: Six Affirmations That Will Change Your Life which was featured on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday.It is the lyrics from Bugsy Malone that aptly sum up his philosophy: “You give a little love and it all comes back to you; You're gonna' be remembered for the things that you say and do”.  As a devoted husband to writer Mariana Williams and proud father, Paul considers his son Cole, and daughter Sarah, to be his best work.For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/https://www.paulwilliamsofficial.com/https://twitter.com/impaulwilliams #PaulWilliams  #harveybrownstoneinterviews

MOVIE DISCUSSION:Melvin & Dan discuss the latest entry in the Candyman franchise, a series whose first film is far more artful than its horror-icon counterparts. Candyman (2021) continues its original's themes of uniquely racial struggles and readopts them for the modern age in a thoroughly complex manner, covering topics as wide as gentrification, art exploitation, Black self-exploitation, and a continued theme of cultural gaslighting that sits comfortably beside the original's narrative. Tune in to hear more about the first of many horror flicks we're reviewing this spooky season! Also, both our cats make an appearance! Meow! Topics: Melvin talks about how rap and hip-hop has been maligned for being inappropriate by certain white communities (specifically Christians, and also the Gen X and Boomer generation), and how often the reality is that "rock-and-roll" is incredibly crass, sexual, and violent. Meanwhile artists like 2Pac, while often transgressive as well, also have albums like "Me Against The World" that are deeply thought-provoking, chillingly sad, and exemplify a cry of suffering, a want for change, and the gaslighting of the black community against white systems of oppression. Daniel talks about calling pets babies. Introducing Candyman (2021) [13:26] For Daniel, Candyman (2021) wasn't scary, but its an effective creepy story. Candyman (2021) isn't overtly pioneering off BLM or ACAB, it's merely a thematic evolution of the first film's themes. From ghetto/project community to gentrification, from a white-woman's thesis to a black man's artistic muse, Candyman (2021) feels natural as a sequel that continues the legacy of its predecessor. Melvin felt Candyman (2021) succeeds in being scary, and a lot of that is due to the presence of the Candyman as an intimidating horror icon. Daniel reminisces about the first time he saw the original Candyman. Candyman (2021) is fairly heavy-handed at times in expositing its themes, which reminded Daniel of a review by Angelica Jade who feels the film is essentially written for a white audience, specifically in that it explains details that otherwise would be intrinsically known by Black audiences. Yet, the frustrating reality of systematic issues is that, often times, they are bold as day. Thus, no matter how much clearer they become, there are still people unwilling to believe them even if they're explained to them in the simplest most basic of terms. How the ending abruptly happens and it's kinda mehh, but that's alright. Recommendations:   Joel Beeke's "Revelation - eBook" 2Pac's "Me Against the World" Patton Oswalt's "Silver Screen Fiend" Support on Patreon for Unique Perks! Social Links: Twitter Website Facebook Group CinematicDoctrine@gmail.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/CinematicDoctrine)

I'm trying to understand, in Romans 7 and Mockingbird terms, a phenomenon I currently observe -- and feel -- all around me. It is as if the more control, medically and in terms of hospitalizations, that we are getting over COVID19, the more insistent and pressing are the visible measures a good citizen is supposed to be taking against it. To put it another way, as the actual threat is decreasing, the things I am supposed to be doing in order to be regarded as a good citizen in relation to it, are increasing. So Mrs. Zahl and I take a walk on the shoreline near where we live, and the beach is not crowded at all -- just several knots of two persons walking near the edge of Long Island Sound on a windy day -- and yet half the people, especially the younger half, are wearing masks the whole time. The wind is billowing and there is at least 50 feet between almost every "bubble" of two, yet still masks are tightly on. And I feel badly, like I'm doing something wrong, so I put on my mask; or, if I don't, walk by the masked duos with my head bowed and my eyes downcast. There's some kind of first-class versus second-class citizen thing going on, and I'm back in East Berlin, say around 1958. A former STASI informant once told me that about 45 % of the East German population was spying on the other 55 %, and that she had to submit formal reports on all her neighbors every two weeks -- their habits, their idiosyncrasies, and especially their comings and goings. Is it maybe an analogy to St. Paul, where he talks about sin increasing as a result of the law? Like maybe, the burden of visible good citizenship increases to the extent that the actual need to do so is decreasing. I don't know quite how to put it, but something is going on. At the end of the cast, I talk a little about minorities of one and the peril of a situation when everyone you know and every institution you know is against one voice -- even if that voice is wrong and the forces against it are right. Something about the way the universe or Reality compensates in favor of the "You and Me Against the World" (Helen Reddy, 1974) could be happening. Sometimes mass judgments boomerang. If I felt as strongly as some of my friends feel this week, I would probably adopt an august silence, trusting the truth to come out. It's just a thought, though, and probably applies to both sides of every competition. LUV U.

Thirteen days later, his mother, Alice Faye Walker (Afeni Shakur), changed his name. The parents wanted to avoid him being targeted by Black Panther-affiliated enemies. His mother was imprisoned while she was pregnant with him. Tupac's father, Billy Garland, was also a Panther but lost contact with Afeni when Tupac was five years old. The rapper would not see his father again until he was 23 - I thought my father was dead all my life. 52.    Early Life: He had a difficult childhood, as he grew up in the company of criminals, militant activist, violence, and a drugged addicted mother with a transient lifestyle. Art became a constructive and safe escape. His first acting stint was in 1983 (@12 yrs. old) with the Harlem’s 127th StreetRepertory Ensemble when he performed in a play ‘A Raisin in the Sun’ at the Apollo Theater. In 1984, Tupac's family moved from New York City to Baltimore, Maryland.There he studied poetry, jazz, acting, and ballet at the Baltimore School for the Arts and befriended Jada Pinkett. The family later moved to Marin City, California, across the bay from Oakland, in 1988 (@17 yrs. old). They went to the home of a woman Afeni had been close to during her Black Panther days and lived in a poor housing complex, referred to as ‘the Jungle.’ 53.    Early Career: While attending high school he participated in a poetry workshop known as The Microphone Sessions, organized by Leila Steinberg, who would eventually become his first manager. She introduced 19-year-old Tupac to Atron Gregory, a manager for the World Class Wrekin Cru’ and tour manager for NWA, who had just returned to the Bay Area, started TNT Records, and quickly gained attention by signing Digital Underground.  Gregory matched Tupac with Digital Underground as a roadie and backup dancer. Tupac’s talent was soon recognized by the group, and he began rapping in some of their songs. He debuted on ‘Same Song,’ which was featured in the 1991 film Nothing But Trouble. (@20 yrs. old) 54.    Solo Career: He released his debut solo album ‘2Pacalypse Now’ in 1991. (Big hit - 'Brenda's Got a Baby') Also in 1991, Shakur filed a $10-million lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department for allegedly brutalizing him over jaywalking. The case was settled for about $43,000. (1992 - Juice, first starring role) His second album, ‘Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z’ came out in 1993. It was more successful than its predecessor and contained the hits ‘Keep Ya Head Up’ and ‘I Get Around’. (1993 - Poetic Justice, co-starred with Janet Jackson) In 1994, he formed a group Thug Life and they released one album ‘Thug Life: Volume 1. (1994 - Above the Rim, Co-starred with Duane Martin) During this period he had several brushes with the law (he was associated with the shooting of a 6 yr. old Qa'id Walker-Teal in Marin City / shooting two policemen / various physical assaults) and was shot in an armed robbery case. After recovering from the shooting, he was sent to prison on a sexual assault charge. He released the album ‘Me Against the World’ in 1995 (@24) while serving his prison term. The album was an immediate hit and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. 55.    Final Album: During 1995, while imprisoned, impoverished, and with his mother about to lose her house, Tupac had his wife get word to Marion Suge Knight, in Los Angeles, boss of the Death Row Records, at the time a verry successful company, and asked for a meeting. Tupac's mother received $15k, Suge paid Tupac's $1.4m bail, signed the rapper, and went to work on the album ‘All Eyez on Me’. The album was recorded in two weeks! In a matter of two weeks, Tupac recorded and completed the double-disc album, completing two out of three albums he owed Death Row. (The third release would end up being the posthumously released The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory) Released in February of 1996, the album featured five singles and went multi-Platinum in just a few months after its release. 56.    Death: Seven months later, in September 1996, Tupac was killed in a drive-by shooting. He was 25 years old. 57.    Open Comments: 58.    Question: Confused young man or someone to be taken seriously?

Her mother played piano and her father sang in nightclubs. Young Lauryn sang in church choirs, gospel groups and showed a strong voice. She loved '60s and '70s soul and by age thirteen, she was playing the amateur night showtime at the Apollo, doing a cover of Smokey Robinson's "Who's Loving You". Hill nabbed minor roles on television's As the World Turns and in the film Sister Act II: Back in the Habit. Her work with the Fugees began in 1987 in high school with friend Prakazrel Samuel Michel. 113.    "Pras" (@23 in 1996) was born in Brooklyn in 1972 and raised in New Jersey. He showed an early interest in music and attended Rutgers University and Yale University, pursuing a double major in Philosophy and Psychology. 114.    Wyclef Jean (@27 yrs. old) was born in 1969 in Haiti, the son of a minister. When he was nine, he moved to the projects of Brooklyn, and later New Jersey, where he took up guitar and the study of music. 115.    The trio formed in the late '80s, named themselves the Tranzlator Crew and used Hill's soap opera acting proceeds to pay for equipment. They toured the tri-state area and were signed to major label Ruffhouse/Columbia in 1993. Hill was still a minor. Shortly thereafter, they renamed themselves Fugees, a derisive slang term for refugees, and released a debut 12-inch Fugees (Tranzlator Crew) "Boof Baf" to no notable sales. 116.    Their 1994 debut LP Blunted on Reality, stylized in a fashion like A Tribe Called Quest, Poor Righteous Teachers, and Digable Planets, did better. However, it was the remixed versions of "Nappy Head (Mona Lisa)" and "Vocab" that earned the group another budget for a follow-up album. (Also, notable, in later interviews Pras would say that a married Wyclef and the underage Hill were having a clandestine relationship at the time) 117.    Combining a mix of conscious hip hp, soul, and reggae, with a homemade basement studio, sampled melodies, live guitars, bass, keys, "The Score" arrived in 1996, filling the void between gangsta and glitter. It became an instant classic, ultimately selling over 18 million copies. 118.    Open Comments: 119.    Internal "Affairs": In the summer of 1996, on the Smoking Grooves Tour, Hill met Rohan Marley, (one of Bob Marley's kids) and even though the former University of Miami football player was initially rebuffed, because Hill was still seeing Jean, , no one knew who the child really belonged to. 120.    In the summer of 1996 Hill had met Rohan Marley, a son of Bob Marley and a former University of Miami football player. Hill subsequently began a relationship with him, while still also involved with the married Wyclef. She soon became visibly pregnant. Marley and Hill's first child was born the following summer. 121.    Soon after Zion was born, she learned that Marley already had a wife and two children from another marriage. 122.    Amid newfound international fame and baby Daddy drama, Wyclef did not support Hill's solo desires (she had made appearances on Wyclef's solo project), thus leading to the group splitting up. 123.    Hill started work on The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill; blocking out Wyclef Jean from any type of production help after he had snubbed her. Her old-school takes on "Doo Wop (That Thing)" helped it rule the charts in 1998 and win five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best R&B Album -- the most ever for a woman. 124.    Meanwhile, Hill was having more of Marley's children and becoming close with Brother Anthony, a spiritual adviser who studied the Bible with her several times per week. In 2001, she recorded an MTV Unplugged session where she broke down in tears and admitted to being deranged and emotionally unstable. Rolling Stone called the session "a public breakdown", though it debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and went platinum. 125.    She has been a sporadic and reluctant public figure ever since. 126.    Question: Have you ever had an affair with a co-worker? How did it turn out? 127.    Movie Scene: Set It Off. [Directed by F. Gary Gray Action, Crime, Drama, Romance, Thriller. Starring Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett, and Vivica A. Fox] 128.    Rotten Tomatoes, Critics Consensus: It may not boast an original plot, but Set It Off is a satisfying, socially conscious heist film thanks largely to fine performances from its leads. 129.    Emanuel Levy, Variety 11-1996: Influenced by "Thelma & Louise" and "Waiting to Exhale," F. Gary Gray's "Set It Off" is a well-crafted girls-n-the-hood actioner, with an acute social conscience and plenty of soul. A tale of female bonding and empowerment, this relevant film boasts a terrific cast, headed by Jada Pinkett and Queen Latifah in career-making performances. 130.    Stephen Holden, New York Times 11-1996: Just Trying to Get Even While They Get Rich. On the long list of Hollywood heist movies that make you root for its criminals to steal a million dollars and live happily ever after, F. Gary Gray's film ''Set It Off'' is one of the most poignantly impassioned. If this messy roller coaster of a film often seems to be going in several directions at once, it never for a second loses empathy for its quartet of black female bank robbers who grew up together in a Los Angeles housing project and earn meager wages working for a janitorial service... A pop psychologist might translate the story into a fable called ''Women Who Rob Banks and the Society That Hates Them.' 131.    Roger Ebert 11-1996: “Set It Off” is advertised as a thriller about four black women who rob banks. But it's a lot more than that. It creates a portrait of the lives of these women that's so observant and informed; it's like “Waiting to Exhale” with a strong jolt of reality. The movie surprised and moved me: I expected a routine action picture and was amazed how much I started to care about the characters. 132.    Kent, Entertainment Weekly 09-2019: Why Set It Off is an era-defining film that shouldn't be remade. We are clearly in the age of reboots and remakes, but the '90s heist film is irreplaceable. 133.    Question 1: Remake or Sequel? 134.    Question 2: Do we really want more black female action heroines/stories? (i.e., women of Black Panther, "Breaking In" movie, Berry, Valkyrie, Guardians...etc.) 135.    TV Scene: Moesha 136.    Screen Rant: No show lasts for six seasons without making a cultural impact; Moesha was nominated for 32 awards and won three: two NAACP Image Awards and one SHINE Award. The series was syndicated, and still airs around the world. Netflix picked up streaming rights to the series in 2020, which became available to US subscribers on August 1, 2020. As new viewers will discover, however, despite how influential the show was, it ends abruptly after a significant cliffhanger for the main character in the season 6 finale. Despite the recognition, the show steadily declined in ratings, leading to its cancelation. 137.    Moesha Mitchell went through quite the journey on Moesha. At the beginning of the series, Moesha was still dealing with her mother's death a few years prior and learning to come to terms with her new stepmother, Deirdre "Dee" Mitchel (Sheryl Lee Ralph) — who just happened to be the vice principal at Moesha's school. The final season sees Brandy experiencing the trials and tribulations of being a young adult, complete with an engagement to long-time on-again, off-again boyfriend Quinton "Q" Brooks (Fredro Starr) and attending college. The final episode ends with the reveal of a positive pregnancy test in Moesha's dorm — who it belongs to, however, is a mystery. Since the show never got another season, the storyline was never resolved. 138.    According to EW, at the time, UPN's plan was to address the pregnancy cliffhanger in the spin-off series The Parkers, which premiered on the network in 1999. The Parkers followed Moesha's "boy-crazy" friend Kimberly Ann "Kim" Parker as she navigated attending college with her mother, who has decided to enlist at the same time as her daughter. For unknown reasons, however, the planned resolution never took place, despite The Parkers running until 2005. With there being reports of a possible reboot series in the works, perhaps this Moesha storyline — as well as the question of what happened to Moesha's brother Myles, who disappeared in the finale — can finally be laid to rest." 139.    Question: Is it reboot worthy? / Is any classic black TV show reboot worthy? 140.    Vote: Best/most important/favorite pop culture item from 1996?

In our penultimate episode, of our "Me Against the World" series we review the hood classic "New Jack City". We discuss the legendary CMB crew and just how villainous Wesley Snipes was in his role as Nino Brown, how impactful this film was when describing the crack era in the late 80s, and debate on how this film is closely related to "Scarface."

Josh (Rosenberg) is joined by Josh (Fryday) for a friendly chat about the world and what's inside of it, around it, and beyond it. Fryday is currently the Chief Service Officer of California, after working in leadership positions with Golden State Opportunity, NextGen America, and countless other impressive stops along the way (including the US Navy). Josh and Josh became friends after the far-from-famous Barnyard Boogie at Walker Creek Ranch, which is a reference that will be lost on many but not all. That friendship is reaching one of many pinnacles right here in episode 93 of Here We Go. So, here you go, into your listening experience.

We prepare you for this new show by doing a number of things: First, a transitional note from James that will not surprise anyone who listened to Newsies Minute. But James trills his "three" words and that MIGHT surprise you. James implies that 1982 is the sequel to 1981. Then, a preview of 2020 and what we're excited about (Spoiler: The Year of Women). Finally a bit of our background on the movie, with a timeline contextualization of Britney (the album), Crossroads, In the Zone, The Famous MTV Video Music Awards show, Britney and Madonna on "Me Against the Music", and Britney's relationship with Justin Timberlake thrown in there in the middle. This ought to really wet your whistle for the show, which starts next week on Monday! Theme Music: “Crunky” by Freedom Trail Studio

On this very special holiday episode of Songcraft, we speak with Chris Butler, who wrote the new-wave holiday classic "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses, as well as three other writers of well-known songs of the season: Randy Brooks, who penned the always-polarizing “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,” Chris Eaton, who wrote Amy Grant’s classic “Breath of Heaven,” and Songwriters Hall of Famer Paul Williams, who is best known for “Rainbow Connection,” but who also wrote all the songs for The Muppet Christmas Carol. Enjoy the conversations, then hear our ultimate holiday playlist, featuring 150 titles and 150 artists with no repeated songs, and no repeated performers.  EPISODE DETAILS: PART ONE Scott and Paul discuss New Year's resolutions and how their friends at Pearl Snap Studios can help with yours; explore the difference between "sad Christmas" versus "happy Christmas;" and get into a conversation about the specific holiday songs they do and don't like.  PART TWO  Scott and Paul chat with four songwriters about their perennial Christmas hits. Our guests on this very special holiday episode are... Chris Butler – “Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses (1981) 12:00 mark Chris Butler has led an interesting life. He was a protester at Kent State when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on him and his fellow students in 1970; he earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest recorded pop song in history (the 69-minute “The Devil Glitch”); and he currently lives in Jeffrey Dahmer’s childhood home in Akron, Ohio. As Chris explains, it’s a beautiful house that nobody wanted, so he got a great deal. He is best known, however, for conceptualizing and leading the 1980s new wave group The Waitresses, which found success with “I Know What Boys Like” and their perennial holiday classic, “Christmas Wrapping.” Chris went on to produce Freedy Johnston, Joan Osborne, and others. He continues to record, produce, and release music under the banner of his own Future Fossil Music. But it’s his unlikely holiday hit that remains the songwriting income gift that keeps on giving. Though it’s been recorded by the Spice Girls, Kate Nash, Miranda Cosgrove, Bella Thorne, the Glee cast, and Kylie Minogue with Iggy Pop, the original Waitresses version is still the one you’re most likely to hear each year in the mall. Randy Brooks – “Grandma Got Run Over  by a Reindeer” by Elmo & Patsty (1979) 31:33 mark Whenever Randy Books is asked how to become a hit songwriter, he always answers, “Do You think if I knew, I’d still be a one-hit wonder after 30 years?” That hit was “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,” one of the most loved and loathed modern holiday classics that also happens to be a multi-platinum seller that has topped Billboard’s holiday singles chart multiple times. It even earned Randy Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year honors from SESAC, and spawned an animated Christmas special, musical toys, ornaments, greeting cards, apparel, video games, a branded hot chocolate mix, and even a Tesla dashboard app. Though the hit version of “Grandma” was recorded by Elmo & Patsy, the song has been covered by Ray Stevens, Mitch Ryder, The Coasters, and—most recently—by Jimmy Fallon and Dolly Parton. Randy continues to perform with his two bands, and solo at songwriter events all over the country. He is resigned to the fact that, no matter what else he might accomplish in life, he is destined to be remembered for just one thing—kind of like the John Wilkes Boothe of songwriters. Chris Eaton – “Breath of Heaven" by Amy Grant (1992) / "Saviour's Day" by Cliff Richard (1990) 44:55 mark UK-based singer, songwriter and musician Chris Eaton first made his mark as a writer when Sir Cliff Richard began recording his material, including the UK holiday hit “Saviour’s Day,” which reached #1 on the pop chart across the pond. In the US, however, Eaton’s Christmas standard is “Breath of Heaven,” which has been recorded by Amy Grant, Donna Summer, Jessica Simpson, Sara Groves, Vince Gill, and Melissa Manchester. Other artists who’ve recorded songs from Chris’s catalog include Janet Jackson, Sheena Easton, Keith Urban, Patti Austin, and Grover Washington, Jr. His greatest success has been in the Contemporary Christian market, where he has earned BMI awards for radio hits such as “Adore” by Jaci Velasquez, “My Heart Goes Out” by Warren Barfield, and the Rachel Lampa singles “Lift Me Up” and “Live For You.” When Amy Grant released “Breath of Heaven” as the single from her multi-platinum-selling Home for Christmas album, it topped the Christian charts and was named CCM Song of the Year by Billboard magazine. Paul Williams – Songs from The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) 1:05:31 mark Singer, actor, author, recovery advocate, and Songwriters Hall of Famer Paul Williams has penned hits such as “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” and “I Won’t Last a Day Without You” for The Carpenters; “Out in the Country,” “Family of Man” and “An Old Fashioned Love Song” for Three Dog Night; and “You and Me Against the World” for Helen Reddy. His songs have additionally been recorded by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, David Bowie, Tony Bennett, Willie Nelson, REM, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, Sarah Vaughn, Curtis Mayfield, Gwen Stefani, Diana Krall, the Dixie Chicks, and others. Williams is perhaps best known for his movie songs and soundtracks. He and co-writer Barbra Streisand won an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe for “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star is Born),” and he has earned Academy Award nominations for his musical contributions to Cinderella Liberty, Phantom of the Paradise, Bugsy Malone, and The Muppet Movie, which included his now-standard “Rainbow Connection.” Williams later reunited with Jim Henson, penning the songs for the classic children’s film The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Now for something kind of different - SRT and SRG sit down with their brilliant pal, creative wonder and rapper extraordinaire, CJ the X to discuss 2Pac's album "Me Against the World". We learn a lot and are not as silly as usual. The discussion inevitably spreads to 2Pac's life, his criminal charges (Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault), and the general climate of hip-hop culture during his lifetime. We are here to learn and we may have made mistakes. If you make it through the entirety of this mega-episode and want to make any corrections or contribute to the conversation send us an email at oneweekathing@gmail.com Apologies for any weird edits - SRG's computer is operating at its max capacity and decided to make some unexpected loud noises.

EPISODE DETAILS: PART ONE Scott and Paul reveal some of the newest perks of Patreon support. PART TWO -  9:17 mark Songcraft calls up Paul Williams to get the lowdown on how Susan Hayward changed his life; which of his classic songs started out as a bank commercial; the hit he finished writing in the car on the way to play it for a producer; how his songwriting mantra became "don't squeeze the kitty;" why co-writing means having to be willing to share bad ideas; the most intimidating part about writing songs for A Star is Born; what he really thinks of Jim Henson; and how Nashville reignited his passion for writing. ABOUT PAUL WILLIAMS Singer, actor, author, recovery advocate, and Songwriters Hall of Famer Paul Williams has penned hits such as “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” and “I Won’t Last a Day Without You” for The Carpenters; “Out in the Country,” “Family of Man” and “An Old Fashioned Love Song” for Three Dog Night; and “You and Me Against the World” for Helen Reddy.

Après avoir construit son mythe lors de sa cavale en Afrique du Nord et en Thaïlande, quelques mois après sa sortie de prison, Lacrim revient et prend de l’épaisseur en tant que rappeur, avec son dernier album déjà disque d’or une semaine après sa sortie. “Force et honneur” renforce son personnage de gangster repenti et développe pendant tout un album le mythe du grand bandit crédible qu’il manquait au rap français. Bandit oui, mais repenti. Sa signature est là : écriture simple et accessible, timbre rauque et écorché, avec des variations de flow plus travaillées même s’il reste parfois un peu chancelant. Quoi qu’il en soit, Lacrim a trouvé son public, et marque son époque.

Music icon Paul Williams shares a hilarious, heartfelt hour with longtime bestie, Linda Sivertsen (who moved into his mansion 26 years ago to care for his pups so he could go get sober) and this month’s guest host, bestselling memoirist and novelist Jillian Lauren. Paul, whose standards have been recorded by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, David Bowie, Tony Bennett, The Carpenters, Willie Nelson, REM, Diana Ross, The Dixie Chicks, and so many others—including Jillian’s rock star husband!—shares a secret-weapon creativity tool that led to winning the Oscar for “Evergreen” (with Barbara Streisand), an armful of Grammy’s, Golden Globes, and a recent New York Times bestseller. Oh, and an induction into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. There’s that. Paul’s songs, “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays” “You and Me Against the World” and “The Rainbow Connection” from the Muppets, have been anthems for generations. (Ever watch The Love Boat? Yep; that theme song’s there, too!) Not bad for a guy who calls himself “orphaned trailer trash” and never had formal musical training—but instead scribbled down the songs playing in his head. We know you’ll be riveted hearing Paul's iconic voice as he sings the play-by-play details and lyrics of a Grammy-nominated song he downloaded in the park, AND Paul's advice for getting out of your own way to create the best work of your life (it’s so much easier than you think). If there’s anyone who can assure you you’re never, ever alone in this creative journey, it’s Pauli. Get ready to be inspired, too, with how this tuned in, hilarious soul keeps getting MORE successful (and happier) with age. The creative heights he’s reached in the first half of his seventies are astounding, as is how he’s fighting for the digital rights for all writers. But career magic aside, it’s Paul's humanity—that thing that’s led him to help thousands of people one on one in recovery, and millions throughout the world via his lyrics—that’s truly contagious. Trust us: you're going to want to catch what this man's got, so snuggle in and listen up...

Rude Jude calls himself a shock jock. If you listen to him on the All Out Show on Sirius Radio’s Shade 45, you’ll hear him get into fights and adopt a generally surly demeanor between popular hip hop tracks. The Floyd Mayweather beef is particularly entertaining, and, frankly, even more poignant than Michael Rapaport calling him Floyd Kardashian, which is also kinda dope. If you read his memoir, Hyena — or better yet, listen to the audiobook to hear Jude read it in his captivating voice — you’ll hear him take his shock jockery to unprecedented levels in true accounts of his exploits of degrading sex and drug abuse. In our interview, Jude comes across much less calculated than the shock jock term implies. This man is without pretense, often to his own detriment. In response to my comment that most people who’ve been through the kinds of things he has keep to themselves, he says, “Those are the smart people. Those are the people who can keep a girlfriend." But it’s working for Rude Jude. He was hand-picked by Eminem to host what has become the channel’s #1 show, and has kept that job for 11 years. Hyena has been optioned for a show at HBO that Jude is currently writing, in addition to a second book. Along the way he’s learned some incredible lessons: On getting out of his comfort zone: If you’re comfortable you’re not growing. Keep putting yourself in situations where you’re uncomfortable.” On the power of a job well done: Anything I do you got to do that shit 100%. My poles at the strip club were clean as fuck. On knowing his strengths: Everybody has an advantage. Figure that shit out and leverage it. It’s like X-Men characters you got to figure out your shit and work it. I’m the crazy don’t give a fuck white dude. I know that shit and it looks like a fucking pedophile. It works for me. I leverage it as much as possible. Oh, and on East Coast rap: You ain’t done shit dope since the 90’s. Like there’s 10 million people in your city, think about it per capita how wack you are. Fucking lames. And then you can’t say, “Oh we invented rap.” Fucking 40 years ago. What have you done lately? Nothing. Listen to our interview as we dig into inspiration, aspiration, and what pushes Jude to stay rude, as well as the times he thinks he may need to be a little less rude This week's EDM.com track of the week is Wasiu - Good Girl (Prod.
