6/12/2023 0 Comments The storyteller daveThis certainly doesn’t mean that I’m quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it’s like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician.įrom hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters…the list goes on. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I’ve recorded and can’t wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities (“It’s a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!”) I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand.

Mickey Titus, 17, a senior, was cast as part of the show musical ensemble to play accordion. “Our school has produced story after story, many of them containing adult content….The truth is, this story is being silenced.” “The idea that the contents of Indecent are somehow uniquely mature borders on farce,” Moser told Teen Vogue. Jackson Moser, who was cast as Lemml in the show, agreed. “What about love should be censored? How is this impure?” “It’s baffling that a show written about the detrimental effects of censorship is being censored,” Scotti said. The decision has no relevance to any legislation but is rather a function of our responsibilities to ensure students engage in educational activities appropriate for their age.”ĭouglas Anderson theater students, including Scotti, say they don’t believe the school district’s reasoning is legitimate, citing previous school productions of shows with mature content including Chicago and RENT. “ Indecent contains adult sexual dialog that is inappropriate for student cast members and student audiences,” Duval County Public Schools spokesperson Tracy Pierce told Teen Vogue on Friday.

Instead, Owens offers up a different ideology by issuing a challenge: It’s time for a major Black exodus. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the Black community’s ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American dream. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the Black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. Political activist and social media star Candace Owens addresses the many ways that Democrat Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community and why she and many others are turning right.īlack Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats.

As if being chased by slobbering, decaying dead things wasn’t enough, Ali also navigates well-meaning if out-of-touch grandparents and the tension between her new social group and the rough crowd (more specifically, Ali’s interested in its leader, Cole Holland). Now living with her grandparents and starting a new school, Ali-she eschews her old name due to memories, grief and survivor’s guilt-can’t build a new life while being followed by her father’s demons. But after a terrible car accident kills Alice’s family, she begins to see the undead, too. Alice Bell has never been an ordinary girl-she’s never been allowed outside after dark courtesy of her paranoid father and the monsters he sees everywhere. |
