Avril Lavigne: ‘If I’m going to rely on anyone in this world, it’s going to be me’ – Music News

Posted: February 15, 2022 at 5:53 am

Avril Lavigne is the latest cover star of FAULT Magazine! In the accompanying interview, the eight-time GRAMMY Award-nominee, singer, songwriter, designer and philanthropist talks self-reliance, making a fully alt-rock album, 20 years in the music industry and inspiring a new generation of artists and fans.

On her upcoming album, coming 25th February:This album is more of a rock alternative album and the first time I've made a record that's rock all the way through

On title track Love Sux:Each track speaks to a very different side of me and with 'Love Sux', it's all about love gone wrong but delivered in a sassy, fun and light-hearted way. I made it for myself but I also wanted it to be empowering to the listeners when they're experiencing it

On self-reliance:Yes, love is hard and relationships are not easy. It's not easy for anybody and I've now lived long enough to realize that I need to prioritize myself and take care of myself. I went through a phase where I was like "I'm gonna be independent and have time on my own for a minute"...And it really didn't last that long! But when I started the album, I was definitely in the mindset of "if I'm going to rely on anyone in this world, it's going to be me.

On the 20-year journey of Avril Lavigne:I look at all my albums like a journey into my story over the last 20 years. I've been writing music from when I was a teen, to a young adult and this one is my story today as a woman.

On inspiring a new generation:It's crazy to see my music still resonating with people from a new generation it's inspiring and it keeps me motivated. I still feel the need to do everything as great as I can and take everything I do seriously. It's just such a unique experience that I get to go through and it's great when new artists come up to me and say they love my older work.

On her Libra tendencies!:I change my mind a lot. I think that has something to do with being a Libra. Everyone that works with me makes fun of me because of it but on the other hand, it keeps everyone on their toes...I'm very exciting.

Pete Townshend Is Ready to ‘Moan’ About Keith Moon Biopic – Ultimate Classic Rock

Posted: at 5:53 am

Pete Townshend said he was ready to "moan" in public about the upcoming Keith Moon biopic if he didnt like it but noted that he couldnt see a situation where he'd block its development.

The project has been fostered by theWho'ssinger,Roger Daltrey, for many years, and it was recently confirmed to be going into production. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Townshend said that, no matter how the story unfolded, hewon't go to war over it.

When you talk about it as a Keith Moon biopic, its going to be the first semi-fictionalized, dramatized Who story, Townshend said. It will be a Who biopic. Somebody is going to have to play Pete Townshend. Ive read some very, very varied opinions about what my relationship was like with Keith. I view it one way, and other people view it another way. I certainly was never at war with Keith but neither was I his puppy.

He described the late drummer as a great manipulator, and a great character, a great showman, addingthat "he brought a lot of joy, but he also brought a lot of hardship and difficulty. Ive always been honest about that. It will be interesting to see how that evolves. I certainly dont see a position where if I didnt like the way the story was being told, Id block it. I dont give a fuck, to be honest. I hope it happens because Roger has been working on it.

The guitaristalso said he wasnt in a position to create a fuss if the script deviated from the facts."I think if I felt I was being cruelly misrepresented, Id step in and say, This is a bit much,'" he said. "But I trust the people that are putting the film together. And Roger is somebody who would punch out somebody that said anything even slightly derogatory about me. I trust him.

Townshend noted that Daltrey had to tell his own story through the movie. He has to have his own way," he said. "He sometimes crashes in sideways into my projects! But if I dont like it, I will say so in the press. I might have a moan about it if theres something I dont like, but I will never go to war in the way that some bands have.

From AC/DC to ZZ Top, from 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' to 'London Calling,' they're all here.

The Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows Are the Ones Where Something Goes Wrong – InsideHook

Posted: at 5:53 am

Even when the game is a dud, the Super Bowl halftime show is always an extravaganza.

With a television audience that in some years has exceeded 170 million viewers, the halftime shows producers are aiming for unforgettable moments with blockbuster acts, unlikely musical pairings and a general air of over-the-top bombast. (Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg are this years performers.) Theres always pyrotechnics, wacky costumes or a field full of people waving glowsticks who look theyre having the best time ever for the 12 minutes usually allotted to halftime performances.

Yet theres really only one crucial ingredient for a memorable Super Bowl halftime show: something has to go wrong. With one or two key exceptions, the halftime shows that people still talk about are the ones where things have gone off script.

Mostly, that doesnt happen. Since the dawn of the modern halftime show in 1993, when Michael Jackson appeared at Super Bowl XXVII the performers usually hit their marks, there are no obvious technical glitches and the whole thing comes off like the tightly choreographed, slightly sterile promotional behemoth that it is. For all the big-game atmosphere and big-name stars, the halftime spectacle isnt always memorable. Anyone chosen to perform at the Super Bowl can put on a big show, be it Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, the Who, Lady Gaga or Beyonc, who offered a clinic in jaw-dropping choreography (and a Destinys Child reunion) at Super Bowl XLVII in 2013. Even so, the emphasis on grandiosity can overshadow the actual performance, and the result is often an anodyne big-budget show thats fun to watch while it glides by and easy to forget immediately afterward.

But sometimes theres a Left Shark.

Katy Perrys performance at Super Bowl LXIX in 2015 seemed destined to fit the template. She started her medley of hits while sitting on a metallic animatronic tiger, brought on Lenny Kravitz, launched a ton of pyro and then rolled into Teenage Dream surrounded by dancing palm trees, beach balls, surfboards and two sharks. Famously so famously that the NFL lists the timestamp on its YouTube video of Perrys performance the shark on the left improvised some Macarena-esque dance steps, overshadowing Missy Elliotts guest spot and becoming an instant meme.

Perrys performance was much more of a production than some of her earliest halftime predecessors. Indeed, in its present form, the halftime show is a relatively recent innovation. In the early years of the Super Bowl, the mid-game break often featured college marching bands, though jazz great Ella Fitzgerald performed in a tribute to Louis Armstrong at Super Bowl VI in 1972. Occasionally, a comedian or feel-good act would make an appearance: the youth-advocacy group Up With People did four halftime shows in the 1970s and 80s, for example. For a while, the shows were pegged to unwieldy themes: World of Childrens Dreams in 1985, Salute to Hollywoods 100th Anniversary in 1987 or the head-scratching double tribute Salute to New Orleans & the 40th Anniversary of Peanuts in 1990, which somehow included the song Waiting for the Robert E. Lee.

The halftime show edged closer to the pop mainstream when New Kids on the Block appeared in 1991 as part of a Disney-themed celebration of the Super Bowl itself. Since the early 2000s, after a few additional wonky tributes and niche themes through the 90s, its been all big artists all the time, often in weird configurations designed to appeal to the broadest possible swath of pop culture: Aerosmith and N Sync at Super Bowl XXXV in 2001, for example, or No Doubt and Shania Twain, with a cameo from Sting, at Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003.

Once the Super Bowl fully embraced pop music, it wasnt long before the quest for a memorable spectacle backfired, in a memorably spectacular way. At Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004, Janet Jackson, P. Diddy, Nelly and Kid Rock all performed before Jackson returned to join Justin Timberlake on Rock Your Body. At the grand finale, as Timberlake sang, Im gonna have you naked by the end of this song, he pulled at the cup of Jacksons studded leather bustier and it came off in his hand, exposing her right breast. If 140 million people have ever screamed WHAT?! in unison, that was the moment.

The aftershocks were far-reaching. The FCC fined broadcaster CBS (though a federal court later threw out the fine). Timberlake apologized for a wardrobe malfunction, a term that remains embedded in the popular consciousness. YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim has said the incident helped inspire the idea that resulted in the video sharing platform, so no one would ever have to go without easy access to such footage ever again. All these years later, Janet Jackson Super Bowl is the third search result when you plug her name into Google. Now thats a memorable halftime show.

Subsequent halftime misfires have not resonated as widely as the wardrobe malfunction did, but theyve still injected a much-needed element of humanity into the proceedings. Think about the incredulous look on Bruce Springsteens face at Super Bowl XLIII in 2009 after his knee-slide took him crotch-first into the TV camera operator during Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, or M.I.A.s smirk when she flipped the bird during her bit on Madonnas Give Me All Your Luvin at Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. The unpredictability made those performances stand out in a way that most of them dont.

Not all halftime performances have to go off script to feel unpredictable, which brings us to Prince. Prince is the exception to the rule that something has to go wrong for a halftime set to become iconic. His appearance at Super Bowl XLI in 2007 remains a standout because it was the rare convergence of memorable and great. He covered Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater and Foo Fighters, played three different guitars as if he was channeling an electrical current directly from the cosmos, and got the whole stadium singing along to Purple Rain as an actual, impossibly serendipitous rainstorm came crashing down around him. It felt like there was no script, just an abundance of uncontainable talent. In reality, his set was certainly planned out, but one of Princes gifts as a showman was performing as if anything at all could happen, whether he was enlivening the all-star jam at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2004 or playing a two-and-a-half-hour show in the middle of the night at South by Southwest in 2013.

This years performers are consummate entertainers, no doubt, but living up to Princes legend is a tall order. Then again, maybe something will go wrong.

11 Famous Works of Art That Were Never Actually Completed – Mental Floss

Posted: at 5:53 am

Artists and writers can't always bring their works to grandiose completion. Sometimes they plan too big. Sometimes, life just gets in the way. But just because creators' plans fall short doesn't mean that audiences mindor even notice. Here are the stories behind 11 classics that left us hanging.

Franz Schubert probably died of syphilis, and was nicknamed Little Mushroom. But dont hold those things against him. His music has proved tuneful and long-lasting, with one of his most enduring works being this unfinished symphony. In truth, as critic Brian Newbould said, its more of a "finished half-symphony"it consists of two complete, fully orchestrated movements. Most classical symphonies have four. No one quite knows why Schubert stopped working on the piece, and a friend of his kept it secret until nearly 40 years after the composers death.

British animation genius Richard Williams is best known these days for his contributions to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. But he also worked for an astonishing three decades on The Thief and the Cobbler, an animated adaptation of Arabian Nights legends. It turned heads in the animation community (some of its plot points and character designs magically popped up in Disneys Aladdin) but Williams ultimately lost control of the film to his financierswith about 15 minutes of animation left to complete. It was reworked, re-animated and entirely botched in a theatrical release. Fans have responded in recent years with a re-cobbled version, based on Williamss original intentions.

This iconic, square-jawed image is the basis for the portrait of George Washington on the dollar bill and innumerable reproductions. Our image of the man who could not tell a lie comes largely from this single painting, nicknamed The Athenaeum. But political portraitist Gilbert Stuart never finished his image of the nation's first president. Instead, he kept the canvasthe head and shoulders are finished, but not much elseand used it as a source to paint more than 100 duplicates, which he sold for tidy sums. (The original was no picnic to paint, eitherWashingtons new pair of false teeth made his mouth all bulgy.)

After the publication of The Lord of the Rings in 1954 and 1955, fantasy fans waited breathlessly for the next big book from Anglo-Saxon-scholar-turned-fantasy-author J.R.R. Tolkien. While he turned out a few short pieces, it wasnt until after his 1973 death that The Silmarillion finally emerged. The book had started as far back as 1916, and Tolkien kept whittling away at it into the 70s. His son, Christopher, finally put his fathers papers in order, and the collection of legends about Middle Earth raced to the top of The New York Times bestseller list.

In these three books, Bohemian Franz Kafka (he was actually born in the country of Bohemia) attempted to stretch his short story genius into book-length form. He never quite made it, abandoning his three books in various states of disarray (The Castle cant even finish its last sentence). Kafka died in 1924, at the age of 40. In his will, he instructed his friend Max Brod to destroy all of his unpublished work. Brod promptly published it all instead, cementing Kafkas literary reputation in the process.

Mythology is thick around Mozarts last composition, which was commissioned by Count Franz von Walsegg-Stuppach and obsessed the composer on his deathbed. What we know for sure is that Mozart completed only the first two movements. He sketched out the next several parts, but expired before finishing the piece. Mozarts widow, Constanze, then drafted one of the composer's students, Franz Xaver Sssmayer, to ghostwrite the last couple of sections. However the piece came together, its regarded as an imposing classic today and a tempting target for modern composers who have created their own complete versions.

Filmmaker Orson Welles left a legacy of partially completed and abandoned projects. Don Quixote was filmed over some 15 years and left in disarray (the death of the actor playing Don didn't help). Surviving fragments of the film were edited into a somewhat confusing 1992 release.

The Other Side of the Wind was different, though. Welles's last full, non-documentary film was nearly done, and filmed from start to finish. It just had the misfortune of being partially funded by a relative of the shah of Iran. After the Iranian revolution, ownership of the film was thrown into question, and Welles never edited it all together. Director and author Peter Bogdanovich had labored mightily to do so, but those pesky rights issues kept the movie out of bounds for years. In 2018, the film had its world premiere at the 75th Venice International Film Festival.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge meant for his now-classic poem to be 200 or 300 lines long. The whole work came to him in a hallucinatory dream, and after waking up he started writing it down. But Coleridge was then interrupted by a "person on business from Porlock" and forgot the rest of the poem. "A person from Porlock" has thus become literary shorthand for an intruder who breaks a writer's train of thought. Nabokov and Heinlein, among others, have made the reference. And Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas Adams used the incident as a major plot point in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

Strollers defeat leaders for result of the week in bowls Evening League – LincolnshireWorld

Posted: at 1:40 am

With one round to go in the Evening League at Boston Indoor Bowling Club, the leaders in both divisions have a clear lead and theres a scramble for the places below them.

The result of the week in the Orchard Health Group First Division was the clash between leaders Invaders and fourth-placed Strollers, which saw Strollers taking all six points.

Invaders still have a clear lead, while Strollers are now only one point shy of third place.

Kathryn Rockall, Mick Hippisley and Mick Dodes were trailing for most of their game with Invaders, but always managed to stay within touching distance.

They grabbed the lead on the 15th end and then held on to win 19-18 in a tight finish.

On the other rink, Strollers, with skip Alan Everitt ably supported by Paul Flatters and Keith Swain, were slow to get into their groove.

Five shots scored on the 10th end kick-started their game, giving them the lead, before they powered away to win 19-11.

Second placed Holland Fen won their match against Royal Mail 4-2.

Les Fearys rink won with ease 32-7, having got away to a good start and dominating the scoring.

The other rink was well won by Royal Mail, skipped by Keith Sharp, by 24-8, as they quickly established an early lead of 15-1 and never lost control of the game.

Breakaways beat Nomads 4-2 and did enough to hold onto third place in this division.

The rink of Neil Harrison, Anita Rymer and skip Michael Rymer ran out convincing 30-8 winners, never giving Nomads any chance to get established in the game.

Nomads, with skip Mel Maddison, were similarly ruthless on the other rink to take the win 20-8.

The mid-table clash between A40 in fifth and IBC in sixth saw A40 win 4-2.

A40 are now three points adrift of Strollers.

After a slow start, Sue Hoyles rink for A40 took the lead on the 10th end and built on it to win 20-11.

A40 were leading on the second rink for two-thirds of the game before IBC were able to tie the scores.

Still tied after the penultimate end, IBC scored two shots on the final end to win 17-15 and take two points from the match.

Cosmos and Central at the foot of the table proved to be closely matched opponents and shared the points equally, 3-3, from their match.

Cosmos moved up to eighth place with this result, with Central still in last place.

Jean Thompsons Cosmos rink took a few ends to get going, then controlled the game to win 16-10.

Central and skip Peter Copeland on the other rink held the lead throughout to win 17-11.

The top four in the T&B Containers Second Division faced each other this week, with leaders Golfers winning 4-2 against The Burtons and Autos taking all the points from their clash with Amateurs.

Burtons, in second, are now only one point ahead of Autos, but both are well adrift of Golfers.

For Golfers, Graham Scarboros rink quickly established a safe lead and ran out 23-16 winners.

Golfers went 17-2 down on the other rink, then steadily worked their way back and challenged for the win.

In the end, Chris Hills Burtons rink had done enough and won 19-16.

Autos built a 15-4 lead on Ivor Roberts rink before Amateurs started the fight back, but it was not enough and Autos won 17-12.

Amateurs were 11-5 ahead on the second rink, but Jeff Homewoods Autos squad finished strongly to snatch the victory 15-14 and bag all the points.

Hotspurs moved up to fourth spot after beating bottom-placed Phantoms 4-2.

Neil Owens rink for Hotspurs won comfortably in the end, 21-8.

Hotspurs started slowly on the other rink and were soon 17-3 down.

They did well to come back into the game, but Phantoms still won 22-17 for skip Roy Stanley.

The result of the week in this division saw ninth-placed U3 beat Dynamics, four places higher, 5-1.

Jack Carrs U3 rink made a good start to their game and went on to win 21-10.

U3 also built a good lead, 12-1, in the other game, but Dynamics were dogged in fighting back and finished better, to level the scores 15-15 at the end.

Vikings faced Vectors and took four points.

One rink, Janet and Ray Loughran with skip John Stray, were good from the outset and won 35-8.

Closely matched on the second rink, Vectors and skip Kevin Rockall seized control towards the end to win 21-12.

Lastly, Patriarchs had a good 31-12 win against Shipmates, dominating the match.

Enough Overreaction – The Chattanoogan

Posted: at 1:39 am

Let's start by saying, I'm not a fan of Whoopi Goldberg by any stretch of the imagination. But all of this backlash over the "perceived" definition of a word is way overboard.

If the past few years are not a perfect example of how any group or individual may look at things way differently than you do, you've been under a rock. All she said was the holocaust was not about racism, in her opinion. I personally never thought about the holocaust being about race as much ethnicity. I thought like she did, all white people are the same race, which I don't think there is a definitive answer to. So what!

She nor I downplay the horror and disgust of the event. She even began apologizing right away, which I think is ridiculous, but that's where we're at these days.

Quit looking for something petty to be offended by, there's plenty of real issues to be offended by.

Oh sorry, that's just my opinion, not sorry.

Stourbridge’s winning run is checked at three – expressandstar.com

Posted: at 1:39 am

A penalty and two converted tries put Stourbridge on the back foot within the first 20 minutes of the National Two North clash before a Sebastien Atkinson try, converted by Michael Heaney, regained some ground.

Rotherham, however, pressed the action and scored three more converted tries towards the end of the first half and into the second half.

Stourbridge quickly notched two tries within two minutes through Afeafe Haisila and Arthur Morgan, one of which was converted by Heaney but as Stourbridge chased a comeback Titans once again found another converted try and a penalty.

The hosts did pick up a penalty try and another try through Daniel Rundle, converted by Heaney, but it was not enough to overturn the deficit bringing to an end Stourbridges winning run that had stretched to three games.

In the Midlands Premier, a second-half flurry from Dudley Kingswinford secured a tight victory over Sandbach.

A poor game in difficult conditions saw the hosts 6-0 up through two penalties after 55 minutes.

A Joseph Dunn try after 66 minutes, converted by Samuel Vaughan, gave Dudley a slim one point lead before a last minute try from Daniel Marsh, again converted by Vaughan, made the win secure.

In Midlands One West, Lichfield continued their charge at the top of the table with their sixth consecutive win.

The visitors dominated away at Old Halesonians to secure a 60-7 win, leaving them 12 points clear at the top of the table.

In the Midlands Two West (North), a trio of second half tries secured a losing bonus point for Stafford against Leek.

Daniel Smith, Neil Holden and Alex Rock all dived over the line for the hosts, with two of them being converted by Stelian-Christian Ureche.

But top-of-the-table Leek had enough in the tank to secure their 25-19 win over fifth-placed Stafford.

Second-bottom Stourbridge Lions slumped to their 11th consecutive loss with a 32-5 thumping away at Newcastle (Staffs).

In Midlands Two West (South), Kidderminster also tasted defeat with a slim 17-13 loss at home to Silhillians.

In Midlands Three West (North), struggling sides Eccleshall and Aldridge again fell to defeat.

Bottom side Eccleshall were on the wrong end of a home walkover against Handsworth, while second-bottom Aldridge lost 41-20 to second-placed Telford Hornets.

Third-placed Burntwood also narrowly lost 15-8 to fourth-placed Shrewsbury.

In Midlands Four West (North), Wednesbury comfortably won a relegation scrap against Warley with a comprehensive 41-5 scoreline.

Essington suffered an away walkover against Market Drayton.

In Midlands Five West (South), it was a weekend of home walkovers for Cannock against Stourport, St Leonards against Five Ways Old Edwardians and Stone against Redditch.
