"MOONWALK"

Andy Warhol



Warhol’s Moonwalk prints from 1987, show the artist turning one of the 20th century’s most historic events into a Pop Art masterpiece Taking Neil Armstrong’s photograph of Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon, Warhol, for the very first time, turns this historic event into a Pop Art masterpiece. Though one might expect this work to have been done at the time of the moon landings in 1969, the prints were actually made in 1987, just a few months before Warhol’s death. It seems as though this subject appeared to Warhol to be important only after the fact, almost two decades later, when he had reached maturity in his career. And while it depicts a profound moment in the history of humanity Warhol adds his playful spin on it, tinting the iconic white astronaut suit with tones of pink in Moonwalk 405 and giving the surface of the moon a toxic green covering in Moonwalk Trial Proof.

The prints were intended to be part of a larger series titled TV which would include other key moments from America’s history such as a still of Martin Luther King Jr giving his famous ‘I have a Dream’ speech and the Beatles’ first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. However, Warhol’s untimely death from surgery complications meant that Moonwalk is the only print that was completed, making this an extremely sought after work in his oeuvre.

Moonwalk demonstrates Warhol's unfailing talent for spotting iconic images, and adds his own unique touch, drawing over the original image as well as overlaying it with bright blocks of colour that make it unmistakably a work of Pop Art. Though it captures a specific moment in time, the work is also a timeless classic that will continue to resonate with collectors today.

Since the early ’60s Warhol had been taking iconic images and making them his own. From his earliest portraits of Marilyn Monroe – her face tightly cropped from a publicity shot – he had been playing with notions of fame, appropriation and repetition through the medium of the screen print. Traditionally associated with the world of commercial printing, he was attracted to the large edition sizes that screen printing afforded and the flatness of the finished work’s surface. Warhol embraced the medium to such an extent that it has now become almost synonymous with his name. He enjoyed the effects he could achieve by overlaying colours and playing with the registration. He even described the method as “quick and chancy … you get the same image, slightly different each time.” By creating large numbers of prints, Warhol was ensuring that his work remained accessible to a wide audience, rejecting the snobbery of earlier art movements who put the unique canvas and the artist’s mark above all. Working from his knowingly named studio, the Factory, he resolved to print in large numbers, echoing the media culture from which he pulled his images and remarking that “repetition adds up to reputation.”

AMORE AMORE






MINA


Italy’s all-time top selling female artist.


The pop singer Anna Maria Mazzini, better known simply as Mina, was born on this day in 1940 in the Lombardy city of Busto Arsizio.


Since her debut single in 1958, Mina has sold well in excess of 150 million records, which makes her the top-selling female performer in Italian music history. Only her fellow 60s star Adriano Celentano can boast larger figures.

The pair worked together on one of Italy’s biggest-selling albums of all-time in 1998. Mina Celentano sold an impressive 2.365 million copies. They revived the collaboration in 2016 with Tutte Le Migliori.

Mina also enjoys an iconic status in the history of female emancipation in Italy as a result of the sensational ban imposed on her by the state television station RAI in 1963 following her affair with a married actor, Corrado Pani, by whom she became pregnant.

Despite pressure from the Catholic Church, whose position as the guardians of Italy’s public morals was still very strong at the time, the broadcaster was forced by the weight of public opinion, as well as Mina’s unaffected record sales, to rescind the ban the following January.

Mina, who had already cultivated a racy image by dressing in mini-skirts, dying her hair blonde and wearing heavy eye make-up, responded by singing songs with controversial lyrics, some glorifying smoking, which was still associated with women of loose morals in Italian society, and the pleasures of sex.

Mina, who lives in Switzerland with her husband, the cardiologist Eugenio Quaini, has not appeared on stage since 1978 but continues to make records. Her latest album, Maeba, has only just been released.

Born into a working-class background in Busto Arsizio, she grew up  in Cremona, where she cultivated a taste in American rock and roll and jazz music. She began to attend clubs in Milan in her teens and began her performing career under the name Baby Gate - somewhat ironic given she was 5ft 10ins (1.78m) tall - with a backing group called Happy Boys.

That partnership broke up when her parents refused to let her skip college, where she was studying accountancy, to go on tour in Turkey, despite one reviewer describing her debut on stage in Milan as “the birth of a star”.

Baby Gate gave way to Mina as a stage name, although her high-energy rock and roll style continued. Her loud vocals earned her the unflattering nickname Queen of the Screamers, while a journalist friend in Cremona called her the Tiger of Cremona.

She found fame rapidly, not just for her sensual stage performances and striking good looks but for the range of her voice. She hit the top of the Italian singles charts for the first time in September 1959 with Tintarella di Luna singles charts for the first time in September 1959 with Tintarella di Luna (Moon Tan) and would return regularly. So far she has had 79 albums and 71 singles in the Italian charts, including 16 number one albums and eight number one singles.

Largely she is remembered for melodramatic songs of anguished love stories, although her range and versatility enabled her to achieve success in different genres as the mood took her.  She won particular acclaim for her collaborations with the writers Bruno Canfora (Brava, 1965) and Ennio Morricone (Se telefonando, 1966), both of whom were asked to produce music that would showcase her range.

Mina encountered tragedy more than once in her private life, losing both her brother Alfredo and her first husband, the journalist Virgilio Crocco, in car crashes.

She moved to Lugano in Switzerland with her father in 1966 and has lived there since, although the city is less than half an hour’s drive from the Italian border.

After Crocco’s death, Mina was romantically linked with Walter Chiara, who was her co-host with Raffaella Carrà on the TV show Canzonissima, and had relationships with the up-and-coming actor Gian-Maria Volontè and the composer Augusto Martelli.  She met Quaini in 1981 and they were together 25 years before they married in 2006.

Mina decided to end her career as a public performer in the 1970s, for reasons that have never been explained, although it has been speculated that she simply tired of the spotlight.  She announced her decision at the end of what would be her final TV appearance in 1974 and gave her last concert at the Bussola nightclub in Marina di Pietrasanta in Tuscany, where she had first gone on stage in 1958 during a family summer holiday.

Nonetheless, her recording career has continued unabated, with her albums now produced by her son, Massimiliano Pani. She also has a daughter, Benedetta Mazzini Crocco, who is an actress and television presenter.

LIVE NATION SUCKS

 



"LIVE NATION SUCKS" !!!

So DOES TICKET MASTER

They ar Both BASTARDS !!!





People should BOYCOTT all LIVE NATION EVENTS, and Ticketmaster, which is a Monopoly
should be Broken-Up. Both these companies are a detrement to society, and our country would be a better place to live if both these Horrible Companies Cease to Exist. "We don't need them" ! And we'd all be Better Off without them, especially those of us who are  middle class working people.

Because Live Nation and Ticketmaster exist, many working people can no longer afford to go to concert, a result of the atrociosu prices these two theiving companies charge for concert tickets.

When I was a teenager in the 1970 I could go see a concert for an average price of about $12 .. I saw bands like George Harrison, Humble Pie, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, The Allman Brothers, Chick Berry and aothers, all for about $12 a ticket, a very reasonable price, that even me, just a teenager who always had jobs and my own money from the age of 12, I could afford to pay for my own ticket, something most middle class teeneagers could not do today. Even though most (90%) of the music in the past 25 years is God awful horrible, so I don't see why teenagers would want to see these Shitty bands anyway, most can not afford the tickets. Heck, even adults can't afford tickets these days, with most tickets for top named musical acts starting at $150 or more, for nose-bleed seats, with tickets costing $500 and more, with an average ticket price in the range of $250 to $300, its absolutely absurd the prices that these THEIVES charge, and they get away with it. Something needs to be done.

After I graduated high school and went out into the working world ( i already was from the age of 12), the eaverage weekly income for most working people was about $300 a week, with concert ticket prices aberaging about $20 ... Today, as of the year 2023, the average weekly income is about $900 ...

Thus if tickets were  priced at a clip equal to the average weekly salary in 1976 when I graduated high school, an increase of 300% then ticket prices for concert tickets should be about $60 to $75 the most, and not the $150 average that they are today in 2023. ... Our salaries have only increase 3 fold, yet the price of Concert Tickets sold by Ticketmaster, and promoted and structured by the BASTARDS at Live Nation have increased not 3 times, but 800 % or 8 to 9 times as the increases in the average American workers salaries in the time period of 1976 to 2022. Why do people put up with this. When will the Federal Goverment put their foot down, and break up these monoplies? We don't get it.

Live Nation Entertainment is an American global entertainment company that was founded in 2010 following the merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster. The company promotes, operates, and manages ticket sales for live entertainment in the United States and internationally. It also owns and operates entertainment venues, and manages the careers of music artists.

The company has faced widespread criticism over its central role in the consolidation of the live events industry, allegations that it proactively engages in anti-competitive practices, poor handling of the ticket sale process for highly popular events, and injuries and deaths that have occurred at many of its events.


Besides paying about $12 to $15 for Concerts Tickets when I was a teenager in high school, after I was out of high school, I went to see the late great Frank Sinatra live and in concert on 7 memorable occasions, and I paid between $25 and $40 for thosed tickets. Never more than $40. The last two times I saw Sinatra was two nights in 1990, when Frank was doing a 5 Night Engagement at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. I bought tickets for opening night, and closing night of the 6 night stint. I went to the opening night show with my girlfriend Merceditas. The same night at 3 o'clock in the morning, the great Sammy Davis Jr. passed away. He had been battling throat Cancer at the time. Frank Sinatra looved Sammy like a brother, and posponed the remaining 4 nights of the engagement, so he could attend Sammy's Funeral. A month later I saw Sinatra again, at the rescheduled concerts. As usual Frank was great, and I particularly loved those two concerts at Radio City. They were magical. The tickets for those concerts cost me $40 each, and worth every penny. If the SOBs at Live Nation were running a Sinatra Concert these days, those same tickets woulf most likely be between $250 to $300 a ticket. Thank God those bastards (Live Nation) were not around then.


So people Pease Have some Balls! BOYCOTT TICKETMASTER and LIVE NATION !!! You are being RIPPED OFF !!! Stand Up to these horrible corporat monsters and maybe we'll get some where? Maybe ticket prices will go down to more reasonable prices. Prices the working man can afford. It's in you Power, but you have to do your part, and Boycott buying any tickets from Ticketmaster. And boycott any concert promoted by those SOBs at Live Nation, and stop getting ripped off !!!







"These People are BASTARDS"

DON'T BUY TICKETS FROM THEM

BOYCOTT Tocketmaster and the SOBs at LIVE NATION

For The GOOD of The COUNTRY




Ticketmaster Responds to Senate Letter Investigating Resale Controversy: Exclusive


Ticketmaster president Jared Smith has responded to a letter from two U.S. Senators asking questions about the company's resale business in the wake of an investigative report by the Toronto Star and…

Ticketmaster president Jared Smith has responded to a letter from two U.S. senators asking questions about the company’s resale business in the wake of an investigative report by the Toronto Star and the CBC into Ticketmaster’s TradeDesk platform.   

In his letter to Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Smith says that Ticketmaster does not offer any tool or program that allows professional resellers to buy up tickets in bulk and says the company’s TradeDesk software does not give resellers an advantage when buying tickets on the primary market.  

“Ticketmaster does not have, and has never had, any product or program that allows ticket scalpers, or anyone else, to buy tickets ahead of fans and circumvent the policies we have on our site regarding on-line ticket purchasing limits,” Smith writes in the four-page Oct. 5 letter.   

Smith then goes on to answer four questions posed by the senators in their Sept. 21 letter to Michael Rapino, chief executive at Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, detailing the company’s policies on purchase limits, TradeDesk user agreements and whether Ticketmaster’s Professional Reseller Handbook actually deters resellers from illegal activities. Smith’s letter also discusses how the company enforces sales limits on its primary ticketing platform and the investment it has made in detecting and preventing scalpers from using automated programs like BOTs to buy up tickets.

“Through a combination of data science, enterprise grade software and new technologies, we are now blocking an average of 5 billion bot attempts per month, and over 60 billion per year,” Smith writes, adding that Ticketmaster uses “username, e-mail address, physical address, payment method, computer and/or device used and IP address” to detect users attempting to go OTL — over the ticket limit.

“Over the past 12 months, this process has blocked millions of OTL requests,” Smith writes. “We continue to invest substantially to improve our technology, and in the coming months expect to add new tools and data points to further improve our OTL detection abilities.”

The letter to the senators is part of Ticketmaster’s ongoing response to an undercover video filmed by two Canadian journalists at Ticket Summit, which has led to two class action lawsuits and was a possible impetus for an upcoming Federal Trade Commission workshop in March 2019. 



LEGAL ISSUES AGAINST "LIVE NATION"


The company has faced various lawsuits alleging ticket price fixing, hidden fees and anti-competitive practices. Live Nation has been linked to at least 200 deaths and 750 injuries at its events in seven countries since 2006. From 2016 to 2019, they had also been cited for at least ten OSHA violations, fined for several more serious incidents, and sued civilly at least once for a concert incident.

Destiny's Child manager Mathew Knowles unsuccessfully sued Live Nation in 2011, asserting that the company had spread false information about his business dealings with Beyoncé.

In June 2013, Live Nation was charged with violating Ontario health and safety laws following a stage collapse at a Radiohead concert that killed one crew member. A 2019 inquest returned a verdict of accidental death.

In November 2021, a crowd crushing incident occurred at Astroworld Festival —a concert event in Houston organized and headlined by rapper Travis Scott and promoted by Live Nation—which resulted in 10 fatalities and nearly 5,000 injuries.  Live Nation, Scott, and other parties involved have been named in over 387 lawsuits related to the incident, which in January 2022 were combined down into a single case. In December 2021, the United States Congress House Oversight Committee announced a bipartisan investigation into Live Nation's role in the incident.

In February 2022, Devante Caldwell (Ralfy the Plug) filed a 'wrongful death' lawsuit against the company, after his brother and rapper, Drakeo the Ruler, was stabbed to death backstage of the Once Upon A Time In LA festival in Los Angeles,CA. Live Nation attempted to get the lawsuit dismissed, however in January 2023 the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozc rejected the dismissal.

In May 2022, Representative for New Jersey's 9th congressional district Bill Pascrell stated that he had issued letters to the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice calling for Live Nation to be unwound and broken up, citing its safety record and other factors. These calls were repeated in November 2022 after the Taylor Swift (The Eras Tour) Ticketmaster controversy.

FRANK SINATRA Live

MANILA 1994

PHILLIPINES

Note :  The visual quality of this Video is not that great? Yes. That's not important.
What is important is that we do have this video. The sound is good, and Frank sounds wonderful
and is wonderful as always.

Yes, let us consider ourselves Lucky that we are able to view Frank performing Live in Manila.

LONG LIVE SINATRA

Frank opens with one of my Favorite Sinatra Songs, "I've Got The World on a String"
by Harold Arlen. Absolutley great.

Frank comes on stage and thanks the audience for a warm wonderful reception.

He says "Shoot," and the band strikes up, and Frank starts singing. You gotta Love it.


Franks's still got it here. He still shouts out "Hip, Hop, Ho, Ho," as the band turns it up on
"I've Got You Under My Skin" at minute 12:35 , and the audience just Loves it.  "It's Frank."


NOTE :  After Frank finishes up on COme Fly with Me, he chats with the audience, telling them,

"I make this little talk cause we don't have any new music. We don't have any new songs to sing for you. I'm not angry about it. I'm just dissapaointed. However, these songs we have are some of the best songs ever written."


What Mr. Sinatra, I'm sure he feels and would say if he could, "The music these days Sucks,
There isn't any good music being written anymore, only Crap. (Talking about music from 1989
and up into the 21st Century, this Shittiest Music in The Entire History of The World.
