Sidetracks And Detours PASS IT ON weekly walkabout volume 14

At the party held in the La Aurora center in which several generations of fishermen and fishermen’s families came together, and Raquel Rodríguez already said that in Playa Blanca “it is difficult to find families of a lifetime that are not or have not been related with the more than sacrificed productive, artisanal and sustainable activity key in the development of the town, on which some thirty families of the town continue to depend directly” , in addition to the added value that “fishing represents for the restaurant and tourism sector local and insular”.

PASS IT ON volume thirteen

However confused and confusing this review might be,  I feel sure that this level of confusion is what Malkovich sought to create.  That he succeeded so gloriously and completely is what made the event so dizzying and mystifying. Had I stopped every exiting viewer on their way out to describe in one word what we had just witnessed, I feel I might have heard 600 different words offered. My own word? Genius !

MAJOR VOICE SPEAKS OF MAJOR LABELS

“Kelefa Sanneh has achieved the impossible. Major Labels somehow manages to unspool everything you need to know about 50 years of music, but more impressively, he makes you care about all of it. Even the stuff you don’t care about. It’s funny, it’s personal and as a piece of writing, the book borders on poetry.” –David Letterman (left)
