There are very few places as divisive in today's church as the potluck lunch. When visitors come to our churches we are likely to hear them proclaim about their food orthodoxy before they say anything about their theology or church background. Tim and Andrew offer some helpful commentary about how to keep food from dividing the church. Show NotesThe man Tim was trying to remember mentioned during the recording was Jerome Irving Rodale founder of the magazine, Organic Farming and Gardening, and also Rodale Press. The talk show host Dick Cavett tells the story:MAY 3, 2007,  6:33 PMWhen That Guy Died on My Show (interview with Dick Cavett)When I'm doing an appearance somewhere and taking questions from the audience, I can always count on: “Tell about the guy who died on your show!” I generally say, “I will, and I promise you that in a few moments you will be laughing.” (That gets a laugh.) I go on: “First, who would be the logical person to drop dead on a television show? A health expert.” (Laugh.) I go on to explain that he was Jerome I. Rodale, the publisher of (among other things) Today's Health Magazine. (Laugh.) The irony gets thicker.He'd been on the cover of The New York Times Magazine that Sunday, and we needed one more guest. He was a slight man, and looked like Leon Trotsky with the little goatee.He was extremely funny for half an hour, talking about health foods, and as a friendly gesture he offered me some of his special asparagus, boiled in urine. I think I said, “Anybody's we know?” while making a mental note to have him back.I brought out the next guest, Pete Hamill, whose column ran in The New York Post. Rodale moved “down one” to the couch. As Pete and I began to chat, Mr. Rodale suddenly made a snoring sound, which got a laugh.Comics would sometimes do that for a laugh while another comic was talking, pretending boredom. His head tilted to the side as Pete, in close-up as it happened, whispered audibly, “This looks bad.”The audience laughed at that. I didn't, because I knew Rodale was dead.To this day, I don't know how I knew. I thought, “Good God, I'm in charge here. What do I do?” Next thing I knew I was holding his wrist, thinking, I don't know anything about what a wrist is supposed to feel like.Next, in what felt like a quick film cut, I was standing at the edge of the stage, saying, “Is there a doctor in the … (pause) … audience?”Two medical interns scrambled onto the stage. The next “shot” that I recall was of Rodale flat on the floor. The interns had loosened his shirt and his pants, and were working on him. He was the ghastly pale of a plumber's candle.Other memories that seem to come in stop-frame sequence:- Two stewardesses in the front row who'd been winking and joking with me during the commercial breaks were now crying. I guess from their training and having seen emergencies, they knew the score.- Watching the awareness that this might just be real start to roll backward through the audience. Their reluctant awareness that this was not part of the show.- A camera man standing on his tiptoes, his camera pointing almost straight down on Rodale and the “action.”- Someone running onstage with a small tank of oxygen with a crucial part missing.- The bizarre feeling of denial that this must be part of the show. After all, we were in makeup and there were stage lights and a band and an audience that had been laughing and clapping only moments earlier.- Pete Hamill amidst the turmoil, as an ambulance crew arrived, calmly and professionally making notes in his reporter's notebook. (He got a memorable column for the next day.)- Finding myself in a fog in my dressing room, discovering a few strange objects in my pocket that someone must have handed me. A ChapStick, a watch and some keys, clearly from the dead man's pockets.- A voice in the alley as I got in the car: “Hey, Dick, was that for real?”I went home and looked up Robert Frost's poem “Out, Out —,” which contains the words, “… And they, since they/ Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.”The next morning, I called my mentor and former boss, Johnny Carson. The story was all over the news. I asked Johnny how I could ever do another show. “It's like Kennedy's death, isn't it, Richard?” he said. “You wondered how anybody could ever do another show. This won't sound very profound but you just go out and do it. And you'll get a couple of surprises.”That night I told the whole story in the (comedy) monologue spot. No laughs then. I dreaded coming back from commercial.No one referred to the tragic happening, and everything meant to be funny got what seemed clearly to be larger than usual laughs. This, it turned out, was the main surprise Johnny knew was in store for me. Everyone was eager to get back to laughs.This is the topper: Upon warily deciding to view the sorry event a few weeks later, along with my staff, we noticed three things that, incredibly, no one had recalled Rodale's saying: “I'm in such good health [he was 72] that I fell down a long flight of stairs yesterday and I laughed all the way.” “I've decided to live to be a hundred.” And the inevitable “I never felt better in my life!” (The gods and their sense of humor.)From accessed February 17, 2024.Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors who say what they think.

2023 marks 40 years since Mario Cuomo was sworn in as governor of New York for the first time. Cuomo was one of the most unlikely politicians the state had seen in a long time. The child of illiterate working-class immigrants who owned a grocery store in South Jamaica, Cuomo was a public-school genius who found himself graduating at the top of his class at St. John's Law School. After taking a few pro-bono cases representing homeowners in Queens, Cuomo found himself encouraged to enter politics by legendary journalists Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill, as well as NYC Mayor John Lindsay. What followed was a wild rise up the ranks, one that included a highly publicized run for mayor, as well as turns as lieutenant governor and New York secretary of state before finally being elected governor. From the perspective of his advisers and the reporters that covered him – some of them speaking about their experiences with Cuomo for the first time – we'll find out how Cuomo managed to become a major political figure in the Democratic Party despite having a background that differed from most elected officials.  See more on our Mario Cuomo series at ny1.com/mariocuomo.

My special guest in this episode is Pete Hamill, a leadership consultant and somatic coach with a special focus on embodied leadership approach. Pete has a really fascinating background. He has been trained by Dr. Richard Strozzi-Heckler at the Strozzi Institute for Embodied Leadership, and is a certified Somatic Leadership Coach. He is also an author of the book “Embodied Leadership: The Somatic Approach to Developing Your Leadership”. For me this chat brought into the forefront (again!) the importance of body in leadership. Hope you will like the episode too! “What role does the body play in leadership, beyond just body language? Consider emotional intelligence: when you have an emotional reaction to something (e.g. that email that makes you angry) the reaction you experience doesn't appear as an idea in your head, but as a feeling in your gut. It's an ‘embodied' reaction. What about how you deal with conflict? Have you noticed how children and animals often know when people are upset before they do? They're not noticing words, but they are able to observe bodies, and the subsequent emotional states. Embodied Leadership is about learning to lead at a deeper, more fundamental level, working through the body to deeper levels of self-awareness, developing the capacity to be the leader you want to be, and achieving what you are committed to achieving.” – Pete Hamill Listen and enjoy!

Colter Nuanez goes around the Big Sky scoreboard in basketball, including breaking down the Lady Griz's close and controversial loss to Idaho State. Carolyn, the Chick Who Doesn't Know Sports, dishes on the Super Bowl - not the game, silly, the commercials - and Colter also catches up with Pete Hamill of Vertical Raise.

It's a long ways from the Big Apple to the Little Orange, but the issues and the personalities that shape them are remarkably similar. One key advantage New York had that Ojai didn't was an epic chronicler and columnist with the street smarts and monumental charisma of Jimmy Breslin. He was the perfect fit for his beat — with its charlatans, wiseguys, politicians and police — and the connections that brought them all together to create the vivid world of New York City from the early 1960s onward. Breslin's son Kevin joins the podcast to talk about his singular father, his connections to Ojai and his own brilliant career. The winner of every distinction and honor the world of journalism has to offer, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1986, Breslin got his start as a humble beat reporter for the New York Herald who was thrust into the melee surrounding the assassination of JFK. Without having the sources, campaign and government insiders or connections, Breslin found a way into the story that made his mark: Interviewing Clifton Pollard, an unassuming man with the painful task of burying the president. Breslin's gravedigger story announced the arrival of a singular talent who, as much or more than anyone else, created New York City's image as a blue-collar, take-no-bullshit town with a cast of colorful characters including the famous and infamous, the charming rogues and hard-working Everymen for whom he wrote his three-times-a-week column for decades. Breslin has himself made news, as when Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz wrote him letters about his coverage, and when he was savagely beaten by organized crime figures at a restaurant owned by Henry Hill of "Wiseguys" fame. Breslin was also a celebrity — besides his column (which included plenty of investigative and breaking news reporting — he also wrote popular novels, was a regular on the talk-show circuit, had his own talk show, ran for public office and starred in TV commercials. Along with his compatriot and competitor Pete Hamill, his beat was the sprawling, noisy and good-hearted metropolis. Kevin Breslin has had his own brilliant career as an actor and filmmaker. His documentary "Living for 32" about the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings was shortlisted for an Academy Award, and he has also written feature films, including "Blowtorch."

The culture wars now ripping through American politics — especially noticeable in these last few weeks before the midterm elections, when Trump is trying to lay the groundwork for an authoritarian takeover — arguably began on May 8, 1970 in New York City. That day happened to be the 25th anniversary of the Allied victory over Germany in World War II. It was also weeks after Richard Nixon expanded the Vietnam War into Cambodia. And it was just four days after Ohio National Guardsmen shot dead four students during antiwar protests at Kent State University.I recall it vividly. On May 8, 1970, a riot broke out in New York City.Around noon, near the intersection of Wall Street and Broad Street in Lower Manhattan, more than 400 construction workers — steamfitters, ironworkers, plumbers, and other laborers from nearby construction sites like the emerging World Trade Center — attacked around 1,000 student demonstrators (including two of my friends) protesting the Vietnam War and the May 4 Kent State shootings. The workers carried U.S. flags and chanted “USA, All the way” and “America, love it or leave it.” They chased the students through the streets — attacking those who looked like hippies with hard hats and weapons, including tools and steel-toe boots.I heard about it when several friends from New York who were active in the anti-Vietnam War movement phoned me later that day. To characterize them as upset understates their emotions.As David Paul Kuhn reports in The Hardhat Riot, the police did little to stop the mayhem. Some even egged on the thuggery. When a group of hardhats moved menacingly toward a Wall Street plaza, a patrolman shouted: “Give 'em hell, boys. Give 'em one for me!”The workers then stormed a barely-protected City Hall where the mayor's staff, to the hardhats' rage, had lowered the flag in honor of the Kent State dead. They pushed their way to the top of the steps and attempted to gain entrance, chanting “Hey, hey, whatcha say? We support the USA!” Fearing the mob would break in, a person from the mayor's staff raised the flag. It was a small precursor to the attack on the U.S. Capitol more than a half-century later. The workers ripped down the Red Cross flag that was hanging at nearby Trinity Church because they associated the flag with the anti-war protests. They stormed the newly built main Pace University building, smashing lobby windows and beating students and professors with their tools.More than 100 people were wounded. The typical victim was a 22-year-old white male college student, though one in four was female. Seven police officers were also hurt. Most of the injured required hospital treatment. Six people were arrested, but only one construction worker.My friends escaped injury but they were traumatized. I remember them describing the rioting construction workers as a “pack of animals.”The hardhat riot had immediate political consequences. Richard Nixon exploited it for political advantage. It was the first salvo in America's culture wars. Nixon's chief of staff H.R. Haldeman wrote in his diary: “The college demonstrators have overplayed their hands, evidence is the blue-collar group rising up against them, and [the] president can mobilize them.” Patrick Buchanan, then a Nixon aide, wrote in a memo to his boss, saying “blue-collar Americans” are “our people now.” Peter Brennan, then president of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York, claimed “the unions had nothing to do with” it — although just before the riot, Brennan had held a rally of construction workers to show support for Nixon's Vietnam policies. Brennan explained that workers were “fed up” with violence and flag desecration by anti-war demonstrators.At Nixon's invitation, Brennan then led a delegation of 22 union leaders, representing more than 300,000 tradesmen, to the White House. They presented Nixon with several hard hats and a flag pin, after which Nixon praised the “labor leaders and people from Middle America who still have character and guts and a bit of patriotism”.After the 1972 election, Nixon appointed Brennan labor secretary. Brennan did not distinguish himself in that position. He strongly opposed affirmative action. He also prevented Labor Department officials from investigating allegations of corruption in the Teamsters Union and of its president, Frank Fitzsimmons, who had helped secure labor support for Nixon's election. The hardhat riot revealed a deep split in America's left — in the coalition of workers and progressives that Franklin D. Roosevelt had knitted together in the 1930s, and the wished-for alliance of Blacks, liberals and blue-collar whites in the aftermath of Lyndon Johnson's landslide 1964 re-election. The riot's class-based and race-based tensions would worsen over the next half century, as America's upper-middle class and wealthy began pulling away from white Americans without college degrees. The construction workers who attacked the demonstrators on May 8, 1970, and the police who egged them on, were more likely to have family and friends in Vietnam than the college students who demonstrated. Many were veterans of World War II and Korea. They also lived in the same working-class neighborhoods.They despised the protesters as a bunch of pampered, longhaired, draft-dodging, flag-desecrating snots. They felt abandoned by the middle class and the college-educated, stiffed by the clever kids with draft deferments, forced to bus their kids to Black neighborhoods they didn't trust and accept Black kids into their schools, and burdened by an economy no longer delivering the possibility of upward mobility. As the journalist Pete Hamill observed at the time, the workingman “feels trapped and, even worse, in a society that purports to be democratic, ignored.”The former Nixon aide Pat Buchanan, writing in 1988 about the future of the GOP, argued that it should have embraced these growing working-class resentments.The Republican moment slipped by, I believe, when the GOP refused to take up the challenge from the left on its chosen battleground: the politics of class, culture, religion, and race.”Three years later, Buchanan openly questioned whether democracy was the best form of government. “The American press is infatuated to the point of intoxication with democracy,” he wrote, comparing the Marine Corps and corporations like IBM to the federal government. “Only the last is run on democratic, not autocratic principles. Yet who would choose the last as the superior institution?”Buchanan sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992, 1996, and 2000. He lost, of course. But over the course of the 1990s, his ideas began taking root in the GOP. When I was secretary of labor, I spent much of my time in the Midwest and elsewhere around the country where workers felt abandoned in an economy taken over by Wall Street. I witnessed their anger and resentment. I heard their frustrations. The nation could have responded, but did not. This is a public episode.

Embodied Learning From Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to practising being uncomfortable by debating London taxi drivers, Pete takes us on a journey of understanding as to what Embodied learning is. Learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable is at the heart of this approach and so it is no surprise that this is very much for the motivated learner. Defining outcomes based on longing, tuning into emotional soundtracks, identifying these somatic markers, recognising you are a beginner in terms of choosing your response and then using deliberate and varied practice in order to develop choices rather than our ingrained response. This is the very embodiment of sticky learning! www.petehamill.co.uk www.embodiedleadership.net

With his compulsively entertaining new book, Drafted: A Memoir of the '60s (Tolmitch Press), author, screenwriter, and director Heywood Gould takes his reader on a rollicking tour of New York City in America's most turbulent decade as he explores his draft-dodging days in the buildup of the Vietnam war. We get into how Drafted evolved from a screenplay into a novel into a memoir, what it was like being a reporter for the New York Post at 22 (when it was a pinko rag, rather than a right-wing rag) and working alongside Nora Ephron and Pete Hamill, his family's tension between communist leanings & patriotism, and how his race to get out of the draft led him to Paris, civil rights protests, almost to the wedding altar, and Fort Dix. We also talk about Heywood's career writing and directing movies and TV (like Cocktail, Fort Apache, The Bronx, One Good Cop, The Boys From Brazil and The Equalizer), his one Gabriel Byrne story, why he'll take NYC over LA, and all the ways Hollywood has changed over the decades, especially in the streaming era. Plus we discuss why he reads the Torah daily (for the storytelling!), his stab at adapting Isaac Babel for the movies, how the Great American Novel has eluded him so far, how he learned Hemingway's trick of writing fiction like a news story, why being a mortician's assistant was his favorite non-writing job, and why his next book will be How Not To Be A Cancer Patient, a memoir of his 20 years (and counting) of experience with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

In this episode, we speak to Pete Hamill the author of Embodied Leadership: The Somatic Approach to Developing Your Leadership. Pete is a consultant, facilitator, and coach with an international background in leadership and organizational development.  The conversation explores: How leaders don't just need to know about leadership - leaders need to embody the capacity to lead in the midst of ambiguity and complexity. What embodied leadership is and why it matters today. How embodied leadership brings together the idea that the mind and body are inextricably linked: to develop one, a person must cultivate the other.Practical ways to cultivate embodied leadership***If you enjoyed the podcast, we would greatly appreciate it if you left a review and shared it with a friend.

This week on The Speaking of Writers Podcast we remember a few of the authors that we lost this year. Today it's The Quintessential New York journalist Pete Hamill. Pete died on August 5, 2020. As the great columnist Mike Lupica said about Pete, "In the history of newspapers, there was never anyone whose use of the language was more elegant than his was. That voice could be full of anger, of course. He went at injustice, always, with a shout and even fury.But to the end, his country wasn’t just the borough of Brooklyn. It was the country of New York City, for which he was the poet laureate" This is an interview I did with Pete back in 2011 for his book Tabloid City. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

Workers in the fields of life sciences and transportation are laboring diligently to discover a COVID-19 vaccine and researching the means of moving that vaccine to restore the balance of normal life all over the world. Voices Behind a Mask The word from our pharma sources is that “deadlines to save lives is uppermost as companies have committed vast resources to develop not only serums but also to secure the vials to carry the precious liquids to people everywhere.” So, in terms of getting ready to carry relief to billions in an extremely high-charged moment in time, the path to that long-awaited shot in the arm comes into sharper focus. The consensus is that it will require quite a bit of work and broad cooperation from everybody in all disciplines moving ahead. Pete Hamill Prince of the City In New York the reporter who covered everything from boxing to politics for a half century Pete Hammil once wrote, “I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning.” In 2020 the City that he loved as much as he could weeps at his loss. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/geoffrey-arend/support

I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with and interviewing Pete Hamill six times since 1997. There was no subject that he could not hold forth on. Our discussions involved subjects ranging from immigration to tabloids, the lexicon of news to urban America, and even Frank Sinatra.   This podcast includes some lengthy excerpts from three of those conversations. First, in a conversation from June 2011, we talked about tabloids, the state of news today, and the way in which tabloids stitched communities together. Our next conversation is great fun as Hamill talks about his book Why Sinatra Matters. Hamill argued that it’s not possible to understand the country without fully understanding the music and personality of Sinatra. He explains how he transformed the image of Italians and was the first example of American pop culture transported to the world. It was also a powerful way to learn more about both Prohibition and the Depression. Last but not least, is my first conversation with Hamill from May 1997, just after the publication of his book Snow in August. It’s a look at immigration, the misguided power of television, and the story of a boy growing up in New York in the late 1940s. Because of the age of this conversation, the audiotape had not held up as well as I might have hoped, and I ask that you bear with a little 23-year decay of audio quality. However, I think it’s worth it.   Enjoy this reminiscence of the life and words of Pete Hamill.

This is a super-short episode (for me, anyway)! I've been wanting to sometimes just do short episodes where I maybe only talk about a couple of things because I don't always have an hour-long episode to do, but I can always do 15-20 minutes. So I'm going to do that sometimes, and when I do I'm going to call it a "Fast Cash" episode to tie in with the "Empty Checking" phrasing and whatnot--you get it.  This is the first one! Fast Cash! In this one I bid farewell to Pete Hamill, then talk about the Yakuza game series, the new album by Alanis Morissette, and Rick and Morty. It's a good one. But short! FAST CASH!!!!!!!!

Lynn is marking the passing of journalist Pete Hamill.

Murray Weiss is an award-winning investigative journalist, author, columnist and editor, and is considered an expert on government, law enforcement, criminal justice, organized crime and terrorism. Murray has held a number of prominent positions at two of the country's largest newspapers, the New York Post and the New York Daily News, and exposed the secrets of murderers, mob bosses and terrorists to coining the expression "Rough Sex." Under former Post editor Pete Hamill, Weiss served for nearly a year as metropolitan editor during one of the paper's most difficult, and colorful, periods. He has written scores of exclusive articles - among them the national disclosures that a rogue NBA referee was on a Mafia payroll and the link between a Ft. Hood Army psychiatrist and an Al Qaeda leader. Others involved stories recognizable by single names or phrases: Louima, Diallo, Gotti, Madoff, Preppy Murder, Mob Cops, Kennedy Rape, Sean Bell, Central Park Jogger, Crown Heights Riot, NYPD Ticket Fixing, Stop-and-Frisk, and Millionaire Madam. His award-winning investigations include exposés on corruption in city government, drug abuse within the NYPD, breakdowns in the Fire Department that cost the lives of two firemen and systemic abuses in the New York military. Several articles resulted in governmental and legislative changes, the dismissals of top officials and the criminal convictions of wrongdoers. For more than two decades, Murray also served as Criminal Justice Editor at the New York Post, overseeing a bureau of reporters working inside NYPD Headquarters. Before joining the Post in 1986 as a reporter and Associate Editor, he already was an award-winning journalist at the New York Daily News, where he served as the newspaper's Police Headquarters Bureau Chief and later as Chief Investigative Reporter assigned to New York's City Hall during a period known as "The Great Municipal Corruption Scandals." One of his books, "The Man Who Warned America," (Harper Collins, 2003), was a ground-breaking 9/11 tome on the FBI National Security counterterrorism leader who chased Osama bin Laden around the world, but died in the attack on the World Trade Center. The book reached the New York Times best-sellers list. He's also been a television and radio commentator and analyst with appearances on the "Today Show," "Larry King Live," "Imus," "Dateline" "CBS 48Hours" and "The Brian Lehrer Show," among others. Murray has continued his award-winning reporting at DNAinfo New York, scoring top honors from The New York Press Club, the Society of Silurians and the Society of Professional Journalists. He is the 2015 recipient of the NY Press Club's "President's Award."

Pete Hamill: An Old Fashion Thing Called Grace

When someone says 'this is too much, I can't do this,' the challenge that they're facing, the can't, is 'I don't know how to contain the experience of feeling this intensity of emotion playing out in my body again." That's really what they 'can't.' That's what the can't refers to and so for me the question is always how do we bring ourselves back to being able to feel that experience but feel it from a place of non-reaction. To be able to feel it and be with it and face it, or maybe face it for the first time. And then from a place of non-reaction make a different choice. And our place of non-reaction comes through stimulation of our vagus nerve through the breath and actually bringing ourselves out of fight or flight and into rest and relaxation mode -- it's all basic bodily processes, breath, relaxation, all the stuff that brings us back into a place where we can choose. But it's doing that while staying in contact with the emotion and the emotional soundtrack of the experience so that we can actually then face it, so that we can then actually start to move into and take different actions in the world. For all of us we've got those bits of work to do around ourselves.-- Pete Hamill, Leadership Coach, Author of "Embodied Leadership"Embody. Embodiment. To be embodied. Embodied movement...EMBODY is almost as big a buzz word these days in the realm of movement as fascia has been for the past 10 years. And like fascia, many of us are still trying to figure out what it actually means. We have a sense of it. We can feel it (we think). We think it's valuable, means that there's greater value, that it leads to more significant or richer experience, but maybe we're just not entirely sure what it means to be embodied.Well...we couldn't be talking to a more delightful human being and expert on the subject.Meet Pete Hamill, author of "Embodied Leadership", international leadership consultant and Program Director for their Embodied Leadership program at the Roffey Park Institute in the UK. Pete gave us a unique opportunity to explore embodiment from the perspective of not only leading but being in relationship with others.Show highlights:Embodiment defined in two waysThe difference between working on, with, or through the bodyWhat are somatic markers and can they be changedWhat's behind the "I can't", resistance, and how we might begin to respond differentlyCreating a "narrative of relevance" to support a shift in responsivenessFirst steps in facilitating greater levels of embodiment in ourselves and our studentsThis was such a moving and thoughtful conversation that took us deeply into all the things we imagine "embodiment" might be, and it was so, so much more.If you're interested in working on yourself, on exploring embodiment from the perspective of your role as teacher and leader, you're going to love this discussion. It runs the gamut from self to other and back again and begins to unravel some of our misconceptions and areas of ambiguity around being truly, deeply embodied.I'm particularly excited about this conversation because it's taking us another step closer to the realm of soul and spirit and all the good things we have coming your way in episodes to come.

Chapter 89 of Matilda Raffa Cuomo's book: The Person Who Changed My Life, widely traveled American journalist, novelist, essayist, editor and educator, Pete Hamill explains how the heroes of literature can be valuable mentors in the absence of the flesh and blood kind.

1. Bring positive and negative into close proximity. 2. Resist the temptation to clad them in insulation. 3. Witness the flow of electricity as it leaps between the two. Speaking in 1980 of his songwriting experience with Paul McCartney, John Lennon said, “He provided a lightness, an optimism, while I would always go for the sadness, the discords, the bluesy notes.” – David Sheff, All We Are Saying “The work John initiated tended to be sour and weary, whereas Paul's tended to be bright and naive. The magic came from interaction. Consider the home demo for “Help!” – an emotionally raw, aggressively confessional song John wrote while in the throes of the sort of depression that he said made him want ‘to jump out the window, you know.' The original had a slow, plain piano tune, and feels like the moan of the blues. When Paul heard it, he suggested http://mondaymemo.wpengine.com/thebeaglebeatles (a counter-melody, a lighthearted harmony) to be sung behind the principal lyric – and this fundamentally changed it's nature.” – Joshua Wolf Shenk, The Atlantic, July-August 2014, ‘The Power of Two,' p. 80 We're talking about the magic of duality. We're describing the foundations of transformative thought. “When he began to write songs, Paul [McCartney] wasn't thinking about rock and roll. He wanted to write for Sinatra.” – Joshua Wolf Shenk, The Atlantic, July-August 2014, ‘The Power of Two,' p. 80 Lennon's McCartney was Sinatra's Riddle. I bought Why Sinatra Matters mostly because I was curious why a bestselling novelist would write a biography. Sure, Sinatra was a great singer, but since when does a great singer really matter? And why Sinatra instead of some other singer, actor, writer or photographer? What I found was that Hamill's book isn't so much about a person, but about a time. “Frank Sinatra was the voice of the 20th-century American city.” – Pete Hamill, Why Sinatra Matters, p.94 In the beginning, Sinatra was merely a teen idol, the heartthrob of teenage girls. Twice he tried to enlist as a soldier in WWII, but was rejected each time because of a punctured eardrum. As the other young men went off to boot camp or basic training there were a lot of lonely women left in the land. Sinatra was every girl's boyfriend singing of his loneliness. “…in the music he professed a corrosive emptiness, an almost grieving personal unhappiness. The risk attached to his kind of singing was that it promised authenticity of emotion instead of its blithe dismissal… His singing demanded to be felt, not admired. It always revealed more than it concealed.” – Pete Hamill, Why Sinatra Matters, p.130 When the soldiers came home from WWII, Sinatra's career fell flat. “One thing is certain: for many of those who came back from WWII, the music of Frank Sinatra was no consolation for their losses. Some had lost friends. Some had lost wives and lovers. All had lost portions of their youth. More important to the Sinatra career… the girls started marrying the men who came home. Bobby socks vanished from many closets. The girls who wore them had no need anymore for imaginary lovers; they had husbands. Nothing is more embarrassing to grownups than the passions of adolescence, and for many, Frank Sinatra was the passion.” – Pete Hamill, Why Sinatra Matters, p. 133-134 Sinatra became Sinatra when his Riddle arrived. “Sinatra started out with far more female than male fans. He ended up with more male fans. This happens to very few pop singers.” – Pete Hamill, Why Sinatra Matters, p.127 Sinatra's Riddle had a name: Nelson. What Paul McCartney was to John Lennon, Nelson Riddle was to Frank Sinatra. The first product of the Nelson Riddle/Frank Sinatra partnership leaped out of the radio with a beaming smile on April 30, 1953. “I've Got The...

Pillar of Greatness: The Maharal of Prague The Maharal of Prague, the great teacher Rabbi Yehudah Lowey was born in the year 5272 and passed away 97 years later. (1525-1609) (acronym for Morenu Hagadol Rebi Lowey) Even though he was known as the Maharal of Prague it's said that it's more correct to call Prague, 'Prague of the Maharal'. The Maharal, was one of the outstanding Jewish minds of the sixteenth century. He wrote numerous books on Jewish law, philosophy, and morality, and developed an entirely new approach to the aggada of the Talmud. The Maharal rejected the idea that boys should begin instruction at an early age, insisting instead that children be taught in accordance with their intellectual maturity. He was held in great esteem by his contemporaries and has had a profound impact on all streams of Judaism. Rabbi Kook stated that the "Maharal was the father of the approach of the Gaon of Vilna on the one hand, and of the father of Chasidut, on the other hand." Rabbi Shneur Zalman, founder of Chabad Chasidism, and a direct descendant of the Maharal, bases much of his famous work - the Tanya - on the teachings of his great grandfather. Ironically, he is credited with the creation of a golem, an activity he would probably have opposed. A golem is a human figure created from clay and brought to life by use of the Ineffable Name of God. Since the letters of that name were considered to be the original source of life, it is thought possible for one knowledgeable in the secrets of the Divine Power to use them to create life. Discussions of golems go back to the Talmud. Rava is said to have created such a man. In the sixteenth century numerous golems were said to have been created, but in each case their power increased and threatened human life, so they were destroyed by their makers. Yehudah Loew of Prague was said to have created a golem to protect the Jewish community from Blood Accusations. It was close to Easter, and a Jew-hating priest was trying to incite the Christians against the Jews. The golem protected the community from hard during the Easter season. However, the creature threatened innocent lives, so Yehudah Loew removed the Divine Name, thus rendering the golem lifeless. Today someone who is large but intellectually slow is sometimes called a golem. Pete Hamill has written a book called Snow in August about a golem created in the late 1940's in Brooklyn. The Maharal was very active in community work. He did much to improve social ethics. He was a far-seeing educator whose many ideas for educational reform struck deep chords in many people. His resting place in the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague is still visited today by thousands of people.
