063 When war and rumours of war are everywhere in the news how we personally relate to uncertainty and show up for others matters more than ever. The temptation to harden our hearts and join the chorus of polarizing voices is difficult to resist. However, it doesn't matter what side of a conflict we identify with or the opinions we hold. Toxic certainty, hatred and fear are contagious and the real enemies of peace. Spiritual warriorship has existed in eastern and western traditions for thousands of years to show the way of bravery. In times of crisis the spiritual warrior rises above aggression and looks within to transform a fearful mind in the cradle of compassion.In this episode of Awake In Relationship I speak with returning guest Susan Gillis Chapman, Buddhist teacher and author of The 5 Keys of Mindful Communication and a new book, Which Way Is Up?: Finding Heart in the Hardest of Times, due to be published in June 2024. In this conversation we discuss the transformative power of compassion and qualities of a modern spiritual warrior living in times of great change  and fear. We also discuss contemplative practices for invoking the heart of bravery and leading with love.Follow Awake In Relationship on Instagram and LinkedinIf you have been loving what you are hearing on AIR  please rate, review and subscribe to get the latest content fresh to your device.  Sign up for our newsletter at awakeinrelationship.com to learn about upcoming programs and events.Do you have suggestions for guests or feedback on the show?  Send us an email at awakeinrelationshippodcast@gmail.com

This podcast goes out to all the Parrot heads out there.  Son of a Son of a Sailor is the eighth studio album by Jimmy Buffett, and is the follow-up to his breakout album “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.”  This is Buffett's highest charting album of the 70's, peaking at number 10 in the U.S. Jimmy Buffett was born on Christmas Day, 1946, in Pascagoula, Mississippi.  He lived in Mobile and Fairhope, Alabama growing up, and began playing guitar at Auburn.  He recorded a country album and went to work at Billboard Magazine in Nashville briefly after college, then moved to Key West to serve as the first mate on the Petticoat III yacht.  He would also develop what would become his genre of music while in Key West amongst the sea going vessels.Buffett discovered the profit in touring early, and his focus would turn to live shows as well as other business ventures.  Jimmy Buffett is supposedly worth around $550 million today, making him one of the richest musicians in the world.If you're wondering where the term “Parrot Head” comes from, Buffett made a comment in a 1985 concert in Cincinnati about the fans wearing Hawaiian shirts and parrot hats who returned to his concerts again and again.  A member of the Coral Reefer Band coined the term "Parrot Head" as a nod to the Dead Heads who followed the Grateful Dead on tour and the name stuck.Bruce brings this Caribbean-infused music this week. Son of a Son of a SailorThis title track opens the album, and was inspired by Buffett's grandfather, James Delaney Buffett.  Jimmy Buffett saw a picture of his grandfather standing on the docks in Nova Scotia where his grandfather grew up.  He settled as an adult in Mobile, Alabama, and hadn't returned to Nova Scotia until he was 84.  The picture showed him looking at an old ailing schooner, and the lyrics reflect looking back on a sailing life and family.MañanaSupposedly this song is about things Buffett did in a week he spent living on his boat in the British Virgin Islands.  Mañana means “tomorrow” in Spanish, and can be a term for putting things off indefinitely.Livingston Saturday NightThis is a song about going for a night on the town.  It was used in a movie called “Rancho Deluxe,” released in 1975 starring Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston playing cattle rustlers in Livingston Montana.  It also appeared in the 1978 movie "FM."Cheeseburger in ParadiseHere's the big hit from the album.  It reached number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is the lead song from Buffett's greatest hits album.  The lyrics describe a guy trying to eat healthy, but who can't resist the temptation of the cheeseburger.  The song itself was inspired by an event where Buffett was caught out in the Caribbean on a boat with a broken icebox, where he had to live for several days off canned food and peanut butter. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme to the motion picture “Which Way Is Up?” by StargardThis comedy starring Richard Pryor was a remake of an Italian comedy from 1972 called “The Seduction of Mimi.” STAFF PICKS:Psycho Killer by The Talking Heads Wayne's staff pick is straight from the CBGB club in Now York City, and is the first "hit" from the Punk/Alternative/New Wave band.  While it didn't make it into the top 40, it did crack the top 100.  The lyrics represent the thoughts of a serial killer who has already killed and probably will not stop.What's Your Name by Lynyrd SkynyrdRob features a song written by Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington inspired by a time when the band was drinking at a hotel bar, got kicked out, and went to a hotel room instead while trying to pick up a groupie.  The incident did not happen in Boise, however.  Lynyrd Skynyrd had been tragically affected by a plane crash by the time this song was released.Serpentine Fire by Earth, Wind & FireLynch brings us some 70's funk and horns.  The name "serpentine fire" comes from a yoga pose.  The song hit number 1 on the R&B charts and number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Earth, Wind & Fire is known for hits upbeat, positive funk.Lovely Day by Bill WithersBruce redeems another great song from Big Pharma.  Before Astra Zeneca used this to advertise their drug Farxiga, it was a hit from Bill Withers' 1977 album "Menagerie."  Withers wrote this song with Skip Scarborough, and it went to number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 6 on the Billboard R&B Chart.  Withers holds a note for 18 seconds, the longest held note for any top 40 singe. NSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Main Theme from the motion picture “Don” by Kalyanji-AnandjiWe finish up this week's podcast with an Indian composer duo writing for a Bollywood film..

Barry White est né à Galveston, au Texas, mais a grandi à Los Angeles. Le nom de la mère de Barry était Sadie Mae Carter, cependant, le nom de famille de son père était White. Il a été impliqué dans la communauté musicale locale alors qu'il était encore très jeune, jouant du piano sur le hit de Jesse Belvin "Goodnight my Love" à l'âge de 11 ans. Barry a enregistré son premier disque à l'âge de 16 ans avec un groupe appelé les Upfronts. La chanson s'appelait "Little Girl" sur un label local de Los Angeles appelé Lummtone Records. Barry a enregistré plusieurs disques au début des années 60, sous son propre nom, sous le nom de "Barry Lee", et en tant que membre des Atlantics, des Majestics ainsi que des Upfronts. Ensuite, Barry a travaillé pour divers labels indépendants autour de Los Angeles. Il a également été producteur et road manager pour Bob et Earl.

Il a également fondé le Love Unlimited Orchestra, un ensemble de 40 musiciens pour s'accompagner lui-même et le trio de chant, pour lequel il a dirigé, composé et arrangé. Le succès de Love Unlimited, en 1972, avec "Walkin' In The Rain With The One I Love", mettant en vedette sa voix au téléphone, a rajeuni la propre carrière de Barry. Les succès suivirent, notamment « I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More », « Never, Never Gonna Give You Up » (tous deux en 1973), « Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe » et « You're The First ». , The Last, My Everything' (tous deux de 1974) qui se sont tous révélés populaires au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis. Barry a eu un grand succès en 1978 avec la chanson "Just The Way You Are" de Billy Joel. Il a ensuite entrepris plusieurs enregistrements avec Glodean White avant de revenir dans le Top 20 britannique en 1987 avec "Sho' You Right". Les réalisations de Barry au sommet de sa carrière, en obtenant des disques d'or et de platine pour les ventes mondiales, sont impressionnantes. En 1990, il était l'un des chanteurs vedettes du projet "Back On The Block" de Quincy Jones , contribuant à la chanson "The Secret Garden". Lisa Stansfield a souvent exprimé son approbation du travail de Barry et en 1992, elle et lui ont ré-enregistré une version du hit de Lisa Stansfield "All Around The World". En 1999, Barry est revenu avec "Staying Power" contenant le populaire "Which Way Is Up". Il a également joué un rôle de camée dans la série télévisée Ally McBeal, où ses enregistrements ont joué un rôle central dans de nombreux scénarios de la série. Le filleul de Barry est le chanteur et compositeur Chuckii Booker. En 2002, Barry a été admis à l'hôpital et a subi une dialyse rénale à la suite d'une insuffisance rénale après avoir souffert pendant des années d'hypertension artérielle. Barry avait subi deux accidents vasculaires cérébraux, dont le dernier a eu lieu en mai 2003. Barry White, qui souffrait d'insuffisance rénale après des années d'hypertension artérielle, est décédé au Cedars-Sinai Medical Center de Los Angeles, vers 9 h 30, heure locale, le 4 juillet 2003, a déclaré son manager Ned Shankman.

Changed her name to Chaka Adunne Aduffe Hodarhi Karifi at thirteen and started running around with the Fred Hampton and the Panthers.  In 1969, at age16, she dropped out of high school, left the Panthers, and focused on singing with local bands. In 1973, she joined the band Rufus. The first album in 1973 was a dud, but Stevie Wonder was so impressed by Chaka Khan's vocals, he wanted to write a song specifically for her. "Tell Me Something Good", written by Stevie, on their 1974 album won a Grammy. (He also played harmonica on 'I Feel For You'.). But, because of her increasing popularity the record label started calling the group Rufus "Featuring" Chaka Khan, (which was the title of their fourth album that had the hit single "Sweet Thing") and this caused tension in the band. She was back and forth with the group for a few years. Went solo in 1978 and became a legend.

What's Happening!! follows the lives of three working-class African-American teens living in Watts.   115.    Critic Review: Unlike its contemporary Good Times, What's Happening!! isn't committed to presenting enlightening social commentary or providing empowering African-American role models. Most of the problems the gang faces here are typical of what kids from any community have to deal with. While the show has its funny moments (especially when Dee offers her strong, often sarcastic opinions), much of the show's humor stems from a slapstick-like comedy style that's reminiscent of the minstrel show stereotypes of the 1930s - https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/whats-happening   116.    [Audio Clips]   117.    Open Comments:   118.    Final Question: Biggest legacy from 1976?
