Ikony výtvarného umenia na Slovensku (3): Martin Benka

Martina Benku poznáme všetci. V slovenskej kultúre posledných dvoch storočí má Martin Benka silnú, nielen symbolickú či vizuálnu, ale aj inštitucionálnu prítomnosť. Táto prítomnosť bola a je dlhodobo budovaná štátom, naprieč meniacimi sa politickými režimami: na konci 50. rokov má Martin Benka vlastný, štátom vybudovaný ateliér, ktorý sa po jeho smrti v roku 1971 mení na Múzeum Martina Benku. Toto múzeum bolo nedávno (2023) znovuotvorené po rozsiahlej rekonštrukcii. Život a dielo Martina Benku je do istej miery mikrohistóriou slovenskej kultúry v 20. storočí. Čo všetko sa dozvedáme o dejinách slovenskej kultúry cez príbeh Martina Benku? Do akej miery je jeho pozícia v národnom panteóne výsledkom umeleckých kvalít a do akej miery dlhodobého budovania mýtu „najvýznamnejšieho slovenského maliara“? Tento podcast je tretím zo série dvanástich podcastov „Ikony výtvarného umenia na Slovensku,” v rámci ktorej vám každý mesiac prinášame príbehy diel a kontext tvorby významných maliarov a maliarok. Historička Agáta Šústová Drelová sa rozprávala s Ninou Gažovičovou, kunsthistoričkou, konateľkou a licitátorkou aukčnej spoločnosti SOGA. Spolu s Júliusom Barczim tiež tvorí najpopulárnejší a najpočúvanejší podcast o umení na Slovensku „Predané.“ Obrazy Martina Benku, ktorý spomíname v podcaste, nájdete aj na instagramovom účte @agatasustovadrelova a tiež na účte @podcastysme. Tento podcast vzniká vďaka podpore Aukčnej spoločnosti SOGA pri príležitosti 30. výročia jej založenia. Ďakujeme za podporu.

​​On this episode of Counsel Brew, we sit down with Eunice Nakamura, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Texas Rangers, for a conversation that proves the path to a dream role rarely follows the plan you laid out for yourself.Eunice didn't set out to work in professional sports. Like many lawyers, she started with a clear plan—be a litigator, build the career, hit the milestones. But along the way, a secondment with the Rangers, a move in-house, leadership roles across industries, and the relationships she built over the years quietly set the stage for an opportunity that would eventually bring her back to baseball in a much bigger way leading to her own personal homerun. While serving as General Counsel at Susan G. Komen, Eunice was diagnosed with breast cancer herself, an experience that completely reframed how she thinks about ambition, priorities, and what defines success. Today, she leads the legal function for one of Major League Baseball's most recognizable teams while also navigating life as a baseball mom to a travel player who had very strong opinions about whether she should take the Rangers job.And because no Counsel Brew conversation stays entirely on script, we also cover:why Eunice still does multiplication in Koreanher quest to recreate the perfect Japanese coffee machine experience at homethe unmatched luxury of Toto toilets, andwhy the best career advice might come from the valleys, not the peaks.Eunice brings thoughtfulness, perspective, and a sense of humor to this conversation emphasizing that the careers we're most proud of are often built through relationships, resilience, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.Grab your favorite brew (almond milk latte, if you're taking Eunice's recommendation) and join us for Episode 49.

[This episode originally aired on May 16, 2023] I find it inspiring to discover wisdom in the midst of so many ordinary stories, even simple children's stories  •  the Wizard of Oz is one such story  •  the main character is Dorothy, whose life changes completely when she is swept up in a tornado and lands in a magical place called Oz  •  there she embarks on a journey of discovery, accompanied by her little dog Toto and three companions: a scarecrow, who is looking for a brain; a tin man, who is looking for a heart, and a lion, who is looking for courage  •  together, they follow a path called the yellow brick road, said to lead to the wizard himself — someone who can can give them what they feel they lack  •  but when the trio finally gets to the abode of the Wizard, they discover he is not the savior they were looking for at all; it was all just a show, a circus act  •  however, what the Wizard offered was actually better: he pointed out that each of them already possessed what they were looking for  •  I refer to this kind of twist as Buddhist humor: you need to follow that yellow brick road, go through all of its adventures and challenges, to realize you didn't need to do it  •  that's a perfect example of Buddhist humor — and a perfect example of how a teacher points out to the student their own nature.

Kdy sdílení opravdu vytváří kontakt a kdy se z něj stává obrácená kapsa, ze které vysypeš i věci, které měly zůstat tvoje.

V závěru překlápíme pozornost do vztahů. Proč jsou předpoklady nejlínější forma inteligence. Proč vztahy často neselhávají na nedostatek citů, ale na špatný manažment informací.

Potom vošli do Kafarnaumu. A hneď v sobotu vstúpil do synagógy a učil. I veľmi sa divili Jeho učeniu, lebo ich učil, ako kto má moc, a nie ako zákonníci. V ich synagóge bol práve človek posadnutý nečistým duchom, ktorý vykríkol takto: Čo Ťa do nás, Ježiš Nazaretský? Prišiel si nás zahubiť! Viem, kto si: ten Svätý Boží! Mk 1,21-24 Drahý priateľ, Boh nie je hrozbou pre tvoj život. Je to hriech. S hriechom prichádza nepokoj, beznádej, prázdnota a strach. Hriech nikdy nedá to, čo sľubuje. Len kradne radosť, pokoj a život. Kradne samotný zmysel života! Príbeh o človeku posadnutom nečistým duchom je presným obrazom našej doby, kde sa Boh v našej egoistickej kultúre vyčleňuje zo všetkých oblastí a vedomosť o Bohu sa znižuje na minimum. A to málo, čo človek o Bohu vie, je žiaľ chybné. Farizeji, zákonníci, náboženskí vodcovia ľudu nevedeli, kto je Ježiš. Ale nečistý duch ani chvíľu neváhal. Vedel, kto je Ježiš. Keď je obraz Boha tak pokrivený,až si človek myslí, že spása a posvätenie ohrozujú život, budúcnosť a šťastie, tak je človek stratený. Píšem tebe, kto si uvedomuješ, že hriech nedáva to, čo ponúka. Len ťa klame a ničí tvoju vedomosť o Bohu. Pán Ježiš má však moc odpúšťať hriechy. Cez svoje slovo a s pomocou Svätého Ducha ti môže ukázať kým v skutočnosti je. Môže ti zjaviť nebeského Otca, ktorý ťa miluje. Nechce ti dať len ten pravý obraz Boha, chce ti dať aj pravý obraz ľudí v tvojom okolí a pravý obraz o tebe samom. Drahý človek, ja ťa nemôžem prinútiť, aby si žil v Ježišovej blízkosti. Prosím ťa ale, prečítaj si pozorne Novú zmluvu aspoň tri krát. V ten deň, keď skončíš, choď do izby, zatvor dvere a v tichu sa spýtaj: „Kto je v skutočnosti hrozbou môjmu životu?“ Kto je hrozbou môjmu šťastiu a pokoju? Je to Ježiš…? Alebo sú tou hrozbou hlasy, ktoré mi hovoria, že Ježiš chce môj život zničiť? Boh je dobrý. Pane pomáhaj nám spoznať pravý obraz o Tebe, aby sme si uvedomili a rozumeli, aký si dobrý a čo dokážeš v našich životoch spraviť, keď Ti to dovolíme. Nech Božia milosť a moc Kristovho vzkriesenia vykoná svoje dielo v situáciách, ktoré sú z ľudského pohľadu beznádejné. Ježiš neohrozuje tvoj život. Je Božou príležitosťou ku zmene. Počuj slovo proroka: Odo dneška budem požehnávať. (Ag 2,19b) Toto nie je hrozba, ale ponuka pomoci! Curt Westman

Strata 16 miliónov za dva roky. To je výsledok vládnej stratégie namierenej voči mimovládnemu sektoru. Nepodarilo sa to cez snahy stigmatizovať mimovládky ako cudzích agentov, tak to vláda skúša cez úradnú šikanu a finančné púšťanie žilou. Bude to bolieť, ale bude to bolieť občanov - a to aj ich voličov, odkazujú zástupcovia Tretieho sektora Lucia Szabová a Filip Vagač. Slovenský neziskový sektor čelil v rokoch 2024 a 2025 bezprecedentnému finančnému tlaku, ktorý odborníci nazývajú cieleným ‚defundingom‘. Analýza Platformy pre demokraciu ako i Nadácie otvorenej spoločnosti preukázala, že kritické organizácie mimovládneho sektora prišli o viac ako 16 miliónov eur a to v dôsledku rušenia výziev, neochote spolufinancovať eurofondové projekty či politizácie odborných komisií. Celý tento proces pritom prebieha na pozadí otvorene kritickej rétoriky Roberta Fica, ktorý o mimovládkach vyhlásil: ‚Éra, kedy v tejto krajine vládli mimovládne organizácie, sa skončila.‘ Dá sa v tom celom ešte nevidieť jasný boj štátu - a najmä jeho aktuálnej vlády, voči občianskej spoločnosti a fakticky celému mimovládnemu sektoru a aktívnym občanom?Je toto koniec partnerstva štátu s občianskym sektorom? Aké konkrétne podoby má vládna snaha obmedziť mimovládky a aké preukazateľné dosahy bude mať táto snaha finančne vyhladovať neziskový sektor na nás, bežných občanov - či už v segmente sociálnych služieb alebo v oblasti vzdelávania detí či životného prostredia?Škodia nám, ale škodia najmä Slovensku, jeho občanom a v konečnom dôsledku škodia i sami sebe. Ich voliči ten úpadok služieb štátu pocítia, hovorí programový riaditeľ Platformy pre demokraciu Filip Vagač. Podľa neho chce Robert Fico občiansku spoločnosť rozložiť a umŕtviť. Toto sa nepodarilo ani komunistom, ale bude to na nás - občanoch, aby sme si zvolili, v akej spoločnosti chceme ďalej žiť, dodáva Vagač.Ráno Nahlas, dnes so zástupcami Tretieho sektora Luciou Szabovou a Filipom Vagačom. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum原文Chapter Five: The Old Man from KansasThe little green man opened the door.He gave them all glasses.Then he took them through the city to the Wizard's house.There,in the long green room, the friends waited and waited and waited.After three hours, the Scarecrow said, 'I'm tired of waiting.'He called the green man, 'We want to see the Wizard now, or we're going to call the magic monkeys. Please tell the Wizard that.'The green man went away to speak to the Wizard through the door.The Wizard knew about the magic monkeys, and he was very afraid of them.So he said to the green man, 'These people can come and see me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.'At nine o'clock, the green man took the friends to the Wizard's room.They went in and looked all round, but they could not see anybody.Then a voice said, 'I am the Wizard of Oz. Who are you and what do you want?''Where are you?' asked Dorothy.'Ah,I am everywhere, but you can't see me. Now, answer me. Who are you and what do you want?''You know us all,' said the scarecrow, 'You said to me, “help Dorothy to kill the Witch of the West, and you can have some brains.” Well, the Witch is dead. And now I want my brains.''And I want my heart,' said the Tin Man.'And I want to be brave,' said the Cowardly Lion.'And I want to go home to Kansas,' said Dorothy.'Is the witch truly dead?' asked the voice.'Yes,'said Dorothy, 'I threw a bucket of water over her, and she disappeared. ''Very well,' said the voice, 'Come again tomorrow. I must think about things first and…''No,'said the Tin Man, 'I want my heart now.''I'm not going to wait another minute,' said the Scarecrow.'And I'm going to eat you,' the Lion shouted very angrily.Toto was afraid, he jumped away from the Lion and hit a screen near the wall.The screen fell over, and behind it, the friends saw an old man with no hair.The Tin Man looked angry and picked up his axe.'Who are you?' he said.'Please don't hurt me,' said the old man in a quiet little voice, 'I'm the Wizard of Oz.''But the Wizard of Oz is a big head without body,' said Dorothy.'No,he's a beautiful woman,' said the Scarecrow.'You're wrong,' said the tin man, 'The Wizard of Oz is a big animal with two heads.''No,'said the lion, 'The Wizard is a ball of fire.''You're all wrong,' said the old man, 'I am the Wizard. Well, I'm not a true Wizard.Oh, I know a lot of tricks, but I don't know any true magic. You see, I'm from Kansas too. I went from town to town and did magic tricks, and I went up in a big balloon. The balloon was always on a rope. But one day something went wrong,the rope broke and the balloon blew away. For a long time, the wind carried my balloon across the sky. Then I came down here in the country of Oz. The people saw my balloon and said, “This man is a Wizard. He comes out of the sky.” They were afraid of me and wanted to work for me. So they built this city for me,and I called it the Emerald city. Well, emeralds are green, so I made green glasses for everybody. That's why everything in the city looks green.'The Scarecrow took off his glasses.'Oh,'he said, 'Now I understand the Emerald city isn't green. It just looks Green.''It's all a trick that's right,' said the old man, 'Well,all that happened many years ago. I never went out because I was afraid of the two bad witches. Now they are dead. Thanks to you, Dorothy. But I'm very sorry.I don't know any true magic, so I can't help you.''You're a very bad man,' said Dorothy.'No,my child, I am a very good man, but I am a very bad Wizard. That's true.''What about my brains?' said the Scarecrow.'You don't need brains. You understand things. You can think. you learn quickly.

Strata 16 miliónov za dva roky. To je výsledok vládnej stratégie namierenej voči mimovládnemu sektoru. Nepodarilo sa to cez snahy stigmatizovať mimovládky ako cudzích agentov, tak to vláda skúša cez úradnú šikanu a finančné púšťanie žilou. Bude to bolieť, ale bude to bolieť občanov - a to aj ich voličov, odkazujú zástupcovia Tretieho sektora Lucia Szabová a Filip Vagač. Slovenský neziskový sektor čelil v rokoch 2024 a 2025 bezprecedentnému finančnému tlaku, ktorý odborníci nazývajú cieleným ‚defundingom‘. Analýza Platformy pre demokraciu ako i Nadácie otvorenej spoločnosti preukázala, že kritické organizácie mimovládneho sektora prišli o viac ako 16 miliónov eur a to v dôsledku rušenia výziev, neochote spolufinancovať eurofondové projekty či politizácie odborných komisií. Celý tento proces pritom prebieha na pozadí otvorene kritickej rétoriky Roberta Fica, ktorý o mimovládkach vyhlásil: ‚Éra, kedy v tejto krajine vládli mimovládne organizácie, sa skončila.‘ Dá sa v tom celom ešte nevidieť jasný boj štátu - a najmä jeho aktuálnej vlády, voči občianskej spoločnosti a fakticky celému mimovládnemu sektoru a aktívnym občanom?Je toto koniec partnerstva štátu s občianskym sektorom? Aké konkrétne podoby má vládna snaha obmedziť Tretí sektor a aké preukazateľné dosahy bude mať táto snaha finančne vyhladovať neziskový sektor na nás, bežných občanov - či už v segmente sociálnych služieb alebo v oblasti vzdelávania detí či životného prostredia?Škodia nám, ale škodia najmä Slovensku, jeho občanom a v konečnom dôsledku škodia i sami sebe. Ich voliči ten úpadok služieb štátu pocítia, hovorí programový riaditeľ Platformy pre demokraciu Filip Vagač. Podľa neho chce Robert Fico občiansku spoločnosť rozložiť a umŕtviť. Toto sa nepodarilo ani komunistom, ale bude to na nás - občanoch, aby sme si zvolili, v akej spoločnosti chceme ďalej žiť, dodáva Vagač.Ráno Nahlas, dnes so zástupcami Tretieho sektora Luciou Szabovou a Filipom Vagačom. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

He can work for me.''At once,' said the monkeys, and away they went.They broke the Tin Man's arms and legs.They took all the straw out of the Scarecrow and threw his clothes up into a tall tree.Now they took the lion and carried him to a dark cellar under the Witch's house.But they could not hurt Dorothy and Toto because of the good witch's kiss.So the monkeys picked them up very carefully and carried them to the Witch's house.The witch saw the kiss on Dorothy's face and was afraid, but she did not tell Dorothy that.'You must work for me in my house,' She said to the child, 'All day and every day,and remember—— I am watching you all the time.'Now Dorothy did not know this, but the red shoes were magic.The Witch wanted those shoes very much, but Dorothy never took them off.She took them off when she washed, of course.But the Witch never went near water.She was very, very afraid of water.Then one morning, Dorothy's left shoe fell off.The Witch picked up the shoe at once.'This is my shoe now,' She shouted.'No,it isn't,' shouted Dorothy angrily, 'Give it back to me at once.''No.'said the Witch.And then she tried to take Dorothy's right shoe too.Dorothy loved her red shoes, and she was very angry.There was a bucket of water near the door.Dorothy picked up the bucket and threw the water at the Witch.The water hit her in the face, and she cried out, 'Help, help. The water is killing me. The water is…' And then she disappeared. There was only her tall black hat and a long black dress.Dorothy looked and looked, but the witch was not there.Dorothy picked up her red shoe and put it on the,'Now,how can I help my friends?' she said, 'can I call the magic monkeys?'She picked up the Witch's black hat and looked at it.'Perhaps I must wear this magic hat when I speak.'So she put the hat on and called magic monkeys come.The monkeys arrived in a second.'Please can you help my friends?' asked Dorothy.'Of course,' said the monkeys, 'We must always help the wearer of the magic black hat.'They broke open the dark cellar, and the cowardly lion came out.'Free at last!' he said, 'Thank you. 'Then the monkeys found the Scarecrow's clothes and put some new straw in them.The Scarecrow laughed and jumped.'Thank you.' He said.Next the monkeys mended the Tin Man and gave him a new oil can.He moved his arms and legs.'I feel wonderful,' He said, 'thank you.'Dorothy told her friends about the Witch and the water, and they were all very happy.Toto could not speak, but he jumped up and down very happily.'Now,'said Dorothy, 'We must go back to the Wizard of Oz.

Live With Danny Kortchmar - Don Henley, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt Kootch tells the story of how his and Don Henley's monster hit, Dirty Laundry was born, how his and Jackson Browne's, Somebody's Baby was birthed, and how Running On Empty was recorded Live. This legendary guitar hero, songwriter, and producer, who's been integral to more hits with more iconic artists than just about anyone I can think of, shared about all of them… James (or Jamie as he calls him), Taylor, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, the aforementioned Don Henley, and Jackson Browne. Kootch talked about his first producing gig - Louise Goffin, and the killer band he put together for her, which included Steve Lukather and Kenny Aaronoff, saying he learned from observing Peter Asher, who produced so many of the albums Kootch played on. He talked about producing Jon Bon Jovi, Toto, and Billy Joel, and the controversy that surrounded that gig. We got a few of his favorite memories through the years, and his shattering heartbreak, losing Lisa Roy, the love of his life, the sad for fans, and the boys themselves, seeming end of his dream band, The Immediate Family, both leading to his leaving LA and relocating to Rhode Island to be near his blood family. We got the hows and whys with little hope of resurrection. We also got his newfound joy playing with his new band, The Back Burners, whom I can't wait to hear. The band features frontman Rocco DeRosa, Marty Ballou on bass, Vinny Pagano on drums, and Joel Latulippe on harmonica. A departure for Danny, it's groove-driven soul and blues. Playing small clubs in the thriving local music scene and preparing to record, Kootch is feeling at home with his new band and his new digs. I've been blessed to know Kootch for some years. Thanks to Steve Postell, Danny played at my book launch for Don't Jump almost a decade ago. He was a pretty serious man of few words for most of the time I knew him. Thanks to Lisa and the bliss of banding with Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkle, his fellow mates of The Section, 50 or so years in the playing, and Waddy Wachtel, whom he's gigged with for almost as long, as well as Steve Postell, with whom he's done innumerable projects in more recent years, and appearing in the Denny Tedesco award-winning documentary about them, Kootch was lighter, brighter, and happier than I'd seen him. I hope this move eases recent losses and brings creative and personal fulfillment. I also hold hope that we'll see Kootch, Lee, Russ, Waddy, and Steve reunited, someday in some way. Danny, thanks for your enormous contribution to the soundtrack of my youth.

The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum原文Chapter Three: The Emerald City It was a long day.The yellow brick road went past fields and through trees,up hills and down hills.In the evening, they began to see small green houses.By sometimes, little people in green clothes came out and looked at the friends,but they did not come near them because they were afraid of the cowardly lion.'Everything here is green. Perhaps we're near the Emerald city,' said Dorothy, 'Toto and I are hungry. Let's stop at the next house.'A little woman opened the door.And Dorothy said, 'please can we stay the night in your house?'The little woman looked at the lion.And Dorothy said quickly, 'The lion is my friend and he never hurts anybody.''All right? ' the little woman said, 'You can all come in.'She put a wonderful dinner on the table.Dorothy and Toto ate a lot of it, and the lion ate some of it.But the Scarecrow and the Tin Man ate nothing.'Where are you all going?' asked the little woman.'To the Emerald city,' said Dorothy, 'We want to see the Wizard of Oz.''That'snot easy,' said the woman, 'The wizard never goes out of his house and nobody sees his face.''Is the wizard a man?' asked the Scarecrow.'Nobody knows,' said the woman, 'He is a wizard, so he can be a man or an animal or anything.''How strange!' said Dorothy, 'But we need his help, so we must see him.'The next day, they thanked the woman, left the house and began walking again.Soon they saw a beautiful city in front of them.It was the Emerald city.At last, the friends went up the yellow brick road to a big green door and stopped slowly.The door opened and a little man in green clothes stood there.'We want to see the wizard, please,' said Dorothy.'Nobody sees the wizard,' he said, 'He is a very good and very famous wizard, but nobody can see him.''We must see him,' said Dorothy, 'Please ask him!''All right,' said the green man, 'I can take you to his house, but first you must all put glasses on.'He opened a big box. In it were lots of glasses.'You must wear your glasses all the time,' he said, 'Everybody in the city must wear glasses. The Wizard says this.'So they all put on glasses.The green man put on some glasses too.And then he took them through the Emerald city.Everything in the city was green—— men, women, children, houses, shops, streets. The green man took them to a very big house, and they went into a long green room.'Wait here,' he said.After a short time, he came back.'You can see the Wizard,' he said, 'But you must go to him one by one. He wants to see the little girl first.'Then he went away and a green girl came in.She took Dorothy to a tall green door.'The Wizard is in there,' said the Green girl, 'He's waiting for you.'Dorothy went in.On a green chair was a very, very big head.There was no body, or arms, or legs—— only a head. Its mouth opened and the head said, 'I am Oz,who are you and what do you want?''I am Dorothy,' said the child bravely.'Where did you get those red shoes from?''The bad Witch of the East,' said Dorothy, 'My house fell on her and killed her.''What is that thing on your face?''A kiss. The good Witch of the North kissed me,' said Dorothy, 'I need help and she told me about you.'And what do you want?''I want to go home to Kansas,' answered Dorothy, 'But I don't know the way. Please help me to get home.The big eyes opened and closed, opened and closed.Then the mouth opened and the head spoke again.'Well,'it said, 'Perhaps I can help you, but first you must do something for me.''What do you want me to do?' asked Dorothy.'Kill the bad Witch of the West.''But I don't want to kill anybody,' said Dorothy.'You killed her sister and you are wearing her shoes. Go now and kill the Witch of the West.'The little girl began to cry.'But how can I kill the witch?' She said.The big eyes opened and looked at her, but the head did not answer.Dorothy went away, and then her friends went into the Wizard's room.First the Scarecrow, then the Tin Man, and last the Lion.Later,they all met in the long green room and talked.Dorothy told her friends about the head.'That's interesting,' said the Scarecrow, 'I didn't see a head. I saw a beautiful woman. I asked her for some brains and she said, “yes, but first you must help Dorothy to kill the Witch of the West.”''I saw a big animal with two heads,' said the Tin Man, 'I asked for a heart. The animal said, “I can give you a heart, but first you must help Dorothy to kill the witch of the west.” What did you see? Lion.''Oh,I saw a ball of fire.' said the cowardly lion. 'I said, “I am a coward, please make me brave.” And the fire said, “When the Witch of the West is dead, I can help you. But not before.”''I was angry then,' said the lion, 'But the ball of fire got bigger and bigger, so I ran away.''Oh,what are we going to do?' said Dorothy.'Well,'said the scarecrow, 'we must find the Witch of the West, and then we must kill her.'翻译第三章:翡翠城这一天过得十分漫长。黄色的砖路穿过田野,穿过树林,爬上山坡,又滑下山坡。傍晚时分,他们开始看到一些小小的绿色房屋。不一会儿,穿着绿色衣服的小个子人们走了出来,打量着朋友们,但他们没有靠近他们,因为他们害怕那只胆小的狮子。“这里的一切都是绿色的。也许我们离翡翠城不远了。”多萝西说,“我和托托饿了。咱们去下一家房子歇歇吧。”一个矮小的女人开了门。多萝西说:“请让我们在您家过夜好吗?”那个矮小的女人看了看狮子。多萝西急忙说道:“狮子是我的朋友,他从不伤害任何人。”“行吗?”那个矮小的女人说,“你们都可以进来。”她把一顿丰盛的晚餐放在了桌上。多萝西和托托吃了很多,狮子也吃了一些。但稻草人和铁皮人什么也没吃。“你们要去哪儿?”那个矮小的女人问道。“去翡翠城。”多萝西说,“我们想去见奥兹巫师。”“那可不容易。”那个女人说,“巫师从不走出他的房子,也没人能看到他的脸。”“巫师是个男人吗?”稻草人问道。“没人知道,”那位女士说道,“他是位巫师,所以他可以变成人、动物或者任何东西。”“这太奇怪了!”多萝西说道,“但我们需要他的帮助,所以我们必须见见他。”第二天,他们向那位女士道谢,离开了房子,再次踏上了前行的路。很快,他们就看到一座美丽的城市出现在眼前。那就是翡翠城。最后,朋友们沿着黄色的砖路走向一座巨大的绿色大门,缓缓停下。门开了,一个穿着绿色衣服的小个子男人站在那里。“我们想见见那位巫师,请问可以吗?”多萝西说道。“没人能见到那位巫师,”他说道,“他是位非常出色且非常有名的巫师,但没人能见到他。”“我们必须见见他,”多萝西说道,“请让他带我们去吧!”“好吧,”那个绿衣人说道,“我可以带你们去他家,但首先你们所有人都必须戴上眼镜。”他打开一个大箱子。里面有许多副眼镜。“你们必须一直戴着眼镜,”他说,“城里所有人都必须戴眼镜。巫师这么说的。”于是他们都戴上了眼镜。那个绿衣人也戴上了眼镜。然后他带着他们穿过了翡翠城。城里的所有事物都是绿色的——男人、女人、孩子、房屋、商店、街道。那个绿人带他们来到一座非常大的房子前,然后他们走进了一个长长的绿色房间。“在这儿等着吧。”他说。过了一会儿,他回来了。“你可以见到巫师了,”他说,“但你们必须一个一个地去见他。他想先见到那个小女孩。”然后他离开了,一个绿衣女孩走了进来。她带着多萝西来到一扇高高的绿色门前。“巫师在里面,”绿衣女孩说,“他在等你。”多萝西走了进去。在一张绿色的椅子上有一个非常非常大的脑袋。没有身体、胳膊或腿——只有一个脑袋。它的嘴巴张开,脑袋说道:“我是奥兹,你是谁?想要什么?”“我是多萝西,”孩子勇敢地说。“你从哪儿得到那些红色鞋子的?”“东方的恶女巫,”多萝西说,“我的房子压倒了她并杀了她。”“你脸上的那个东西是什么?”“一个吻。北方的好女巫亲了我,”多萝西说,“我需要帮助,她告诉了我关于你的消息。”“那你想要什么?”“我想回堪萨斯去,”多萝西回答,“但我不知道路。请帮我回家吧。”那双大眼睛睁了又闭,闭了又开。然后嘴巴张开,脑袋再次说话了。“好吧,”它说道,“或许我能帮到你,但首先你得为我做一件事。”“你想要我做什么?”多萝西问道。“杀死西边的那个邪恶女巫。”“但我不想杀任何人啊。”多萝西说道。“你杀了她姐姐,而且你还穿着她的鞋子。现在赶紧去杀死西边的那个女巫吧。”小女孩开始哭泣起来。“但我怎么才能杀死那个女巫呢?”她说。那双大眼睛睁开了,看向她,但脑袋却没有回应。多萝西离开了,随后她的朋友们走进了巫师的房间。先是稻草人,然后是铁皮人,最后是狮子。后来,他们都来到了那间长长的绿色房间里交谈。多萝西向她的朋友们讲述了那个脑袋的事。“那很有趣,”稻草人说,“我没有看到一个脑袋。我看到的是一位美丽的女子。我向她要了一些头脑,她说:‘可以,但首先你必须帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫。'”“我看到一只有两只脑袋的大型动物,”铁皮人说,“我想要一颗心。那只动物说:‘我可以给你一颗心,但首先你必须帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫。'你看到了什么?狮子。”“哦,我看到一个火球。”胆小的狮子说,“我说:‘我是个胆小鬼,请让我勇敢起来。'然后那火球说:‘等西方女巫死了之后,我可以帮助你。但在此之前不行。'”“我当时很生气,”狮子说,“但那个火球变得越来越大,所以我跑开了。”“哦,我们该怎么办?”多萝西说。“嗯,”稻草人说,“我们必须找到西方女巫,然后我们必须杀死她。”

Paul Rees' Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine and Payola - the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986 (De Capo, 2026) is a massively entertaining oral biography of the golden era of critically derided yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and more ruled the airwaves Paul Rees' Raised on Radio is, remarkably, the first biography of the (at the time) critically derided and yet massively popular AOR (album-oriented rock) bands whose heyday was 1976-1986, when groups like Journey, Boston, Foreigner, Toto, and REO Speedwagon sold many millions of albums, toured stadiums, and whose songs continue to stream in record numbers. Many of them still tour. And sure, they were punching bags for the elitist rock critics more interested in covering punk and new wave, terminally uncool, and never fashionably cutting edge, but their music was, and is, the soundtrack to so many people's lives. Who among music fans (of a certain age) didn't pump their fist to "Don't Stop Believin'" (long before The Sopranos), play air guitar to "More Than a Feeling," bellow along with Toto's "Africa," or have their heart broken to the strains of "Can't Fight This Feeling"? Even better: their tour stories and the tales of making the music are as entertaining and eye-opening as any of the antics from the annals of rock and roll history. Cocaine use was rampant, intra-band fighting was par for the course, and for better or worse, the groups' members lived life to excess. In so many ways, it was these artists' music (they are responsible for the power ballad) and lifestyles that led directly to the soon-to-follow hair metal scene. And in spite of what the critical establishment wrote, it turns out the music has aged . . . rather well! Raised on Radio is a stadium-sized, massively entertaining oral history in the bestselling tradition of Meet Me in the Bathroom, Nothin' But A Good Time, and Please Kill Me, capturing a time and a place that was as big and booming and as unabashed as the music that provided its soundtrack.

This week I'm talking to Kimberly Clark Sharp about her book 'AFTER THE LIGHT: What I Discovered on the Other Side of Life That Can Change Your World' and her part in the Maria's shoe case.Death is nothing to fear-and life without fear can be lived to the fullest. This is Kimberly Clark Sharp's message from her extraordinary experience during the time after her heart suddenly stopped beating and she lay on the sidewalk, not breathing, and without a pulse. Swept into a peaceful loving place of brilliant golden light and warm comfort, she saw, for the first time, the meaning of life-and death. Thereafter, Kimberly, with hamster Toto at her side, left Kansas for Seattle-known as "the Emerald City"-to fulfill a destiny devoted to the service of others as foreseen at the end of her near-death experience. Guided by a new sensitivity to the presence of angels, demons and other invisibilities, Kimberly attained a Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Washington and began a career in medical social work that put her in direct contact with dying people-and people who almost died and came back. It is the inspirational stories of these near-death experiences, as well as Kimberly's own life challenges in love, family life and the diagnosis of breast cancer, that form the core of this surprisingly funny page-turner of a book.BioKimberly Clark Sharp, MSW, LiCSW had a near-death experience at twenty-two.  She is the author of After the Light: The Spiritual Path to Purpose (Wm. Morrow & Co. 1995); audio (HarperCollins 1995). Kimberly Clark Sharp is the founder of Seattle International Association of Near-Death Studies, the world's oldest and largest support group for near death experiencers, since 1982. Kimberly is an international conference and workshop speaker, a consultant to news and entertainment media, and has been published in many textbooks, journals, and magazines.  She worked for two decades as a clinical assistant professor at the University of Washington. She co-taught a Terminal Illness Seminar at the University of Washington, School of Medicine.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791LJL4H https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

So what did Paul, June, and Jason think of all the dark oddities in Return to Oz? Tune in to hear them discuss the Wheelers, Tik-Tok the robot, Jack Pumpkinhead calling Dorthy "Mom", Billina the chicken being a total downgrade from Toto, and so much more.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we delve into the ongoing cultural battle between Hollywood and emerging alternative entertainment industries. Joining us is Christian Toto, a prominent journalist and cultural critic, who shares his insights on the disconnect between Hollywood elites and mainstream America. As we reflect on recent award shows and their political grandstanding, Toto discusses the rise of family-friendly entertainment from new hubs like Nashville and Dallas, and the growing momentum behind independent creators who are challenging the traditional gatekeepers of the industry.Toto highlights how technological advancements and a shift in audience preferences are paving the way for a more diverse and authentic entertainment landscape. We explore the impact of AI on Hollywood, the potential for indie filmmakers to thrive outside the studio system, and the resilience of artists who are successfully bypassing traditional pathways to reach their audiences.Then, we delve into the complex and pressing issue of Sharia law and its implications within the United States. As immigration continues to shape the American landscape, we explore the growing movement in Texas to explicitly ban Sharia law in state code. Joining us is national security expert Frank Gaffney, who sheds light on the alarming rise of Islamic totalitarian ideologies and their potential impact on American freedoms. Gaffney discusses the motivations behind this movement and the role of organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the broader context of national security.We also examine the historical context of Sharia law, contrasting it with the U.S. Constitution, and highlight the ongoing efforts by Texas officials to address this issue head-on. With the potential for a statewide ballot measure to prohibit Sharia law, Gaffney emphasizes the importance of making this a national voting issue in the upcoming elections.Finally, we explore the transformative power of artificial intelligence and its implications for the future of work and the economy. Kirk Offel of Overwatch Mission Critical, shares insights from his recent testimony before Congress, addressing the concerns surrounding AI, data centers, and their environmental impact. He draws parallels between today's AI revolution and historical infrastructure changes, such as the railway system and the electrification of America, emphasizing the need to shift public perception from fear to opportunity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
