Freeport Arts Council: ‘Arty Party’ Honors Area Greats Michael
The Arts Council at Freeport is hosting its “Arty Party” celebration on Sunday, “Eppy” October 8 at 1 pm at The Freeport Yacht Club. The three awardees for 2017: Epstein Jude Schanzer, who will be presented with The Arts Recognition Tribute (ARTY) Award; Michael “Eppy” Epstein will be the recipient of The Champion of the Arts Award; and folk singer Caroline Doctorow will receive The Alexander Schanzer Memorial Smart with Art Award for arts professionals. Schanzer is currently the director of public relations and programming at The East Meadow Public Library. As a professional director, an Assistant Professor of Theatre at Rutgers, and now in her current position, she spends her professional life working to garner respect for artists, highlight the importance of the arts, and show that all art forms and artists are conduits for education. Schanzer has received The LI Arts Council's Outstanding Advocate for the Arts Award, The Visionary Award from the Caroline Doctorow Friends of the Hempstead Plains, and is recognized as an Essential Partner by The Long Island Writers' Guild. “We are thrilled that Jude will be receiving our LI Arts Council’s Arty Award,” said executive director Laurence Dresner. “It’s long overdue.” Epstein is a music promoter and owner of Roslyn’s legendary My Father’s Place. “Eppy” nurtured some of rock’s most important performers and bands at the club, including Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Billy Joel, The Police, The Go-Gos, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Blondie, and Talking Heads, as well as thenunknown comics such as Eddie Murphy, Andy Kaufman, and Billy Crystal. Epstein was the only major club owner in the United States to regularly recognize the importance of reggae, booking virtually every major genre act, which helped to bring the genre into the mainstream. “We’re positively delighted that ‘Eppy’ will be receiving this award,” said Dresner. “We expect a huge turnout, and are looking forward to an impromptu jam session by all the musicians who want to come and honor ‘Eppy’.” Doctorow has been compared to Nanci Griffith and Judy Collins, and recently released Raven GirlRetrospective Vol. One, her latest Americana/folk album with Narrow Lane Records, produced by Pete Kennedy. It traces Doctorow's 25-year career as a folksinger, songwriter, and record producer. She has released 11 solo albums, all of which continue to receive airplay on folk and Americana stations. She has performed and/or recorded with a variety of prominent performers, including Nanci Griffith, Tom Paxton, John Sebastian, Annie Golden, Eric Weissberg, Pete and Maura Kennedy, Julie Gold, Christine Lavin, and Hugh Prestwood. In addition, she is the daughter of author E.L. Doctorow. The Arts Council has served Freeport and its surrounding communities since 1974, committed to the idea that the power of the arts is to touch the mind and enrich the soul of the individual and community through advocacy and education. Tickets to the “Arty Party” brunch are available on the Art Council's website at LIACFreeport.org. There are also opportunities to purchase program ads to honor these recipients. For additional information, write the Arts Council at infoLIACF@gmail.com, or call them at (516) 223-2522.

‘Ronkonkomo’: Roach's Tribute To ... Well, You Know
With his role as “Mott” opposite Kevin James in CBS’ sitcom “Kevin Can Wait” now back for the season, comic Chris Roach recently stepped into another realm: He’s issued a parody song and video, “Ronkokomo.” Based on the classic Beach Boys 1989 hit, the song is Roach’s ode to the town and the greater Long Island and New York communities he loves. The comic is seen hopping from a Long Island Railroad car to a boat, cruising The Long Island Sound to The Montauk Lighthouse, Lake Ronkonkoma, and New York City. Beginning in the classic Beach Boys tones, Roach belts: “.... Key Largo, Montego ... ah, forget that! You know where I really want to go? Off the Long Island Sound there’s a place called Ronkonkomo, that’s where you want to go to get away from it all.” It’s all all guided by the refrain: “Penn Station, Jamaica, ooooh I want to take ya / Mineola, then Hicksville, come on baby, sit still / Farmingdale, then Deer Park, ooooh ya know we’re almost at Ronkonkomo! / We’ll take the train ’cause the expressway’s slow.” It’s on YouTube.

After decades bringing raw soul to the stage for The Rolling Stones, Sting, Tina Turner, and Nine Inch Nails, Fischer is emerging as a popular interpreter of classic rock songs. She emerged from New York's studio scene in the early 1980s and became session singer royalty. Her career revolved around supporting other artists, including her mentor Luther Vandross, and a constellation of music legends including Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Bobby McFerrin, Grover Washington, Patti LaBelle, and other major recording artists.
Fischer joined The Rolling Stones on tour for the first time for their 1989 Steel Wheels tour; she graced their stage for 26 years. The breakout success of the Oscar-winning documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom (2013) altered the course of Fishcher's musical journey. Featuring clips of her 1991 Grammywinning R&B hit "How Can I Ease The Pain" and her duet with Mick Jagger on "Gimme Shelter," the film left audiences eager to see and hear more.

Tour” is an imaginative trip from outer space to inner space, from the planets to the bottom of our oceans, and a musical journey through Perry’s biggest milestones and mega-hits right up to her latest album. The dramatically original staging means that there isn’t a bad seat in the house when Katy brings out her band and dancers, along with all the bells and whistles. The tour’s staging, in that light, was so imaginitive that the September 19 Montreal opening date was actually later than the original tour events were set up in order to accommodate the complexity of the scope and enormous scale of this tour. "Due to unavoidable production delays, major elements of my tour stage design could
not be available for me to rehearse on until this week,” said Perry during August. “I’ll be spending the next few weeks taking the time to properly prepare the show to be an experience I am proud to share with you. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes, but hope everyone who sees the show will agree it was worth the wait ... All the rescheduled dates are listed on katyperry.com/tour." Noah Cyrus is the opener for the tour during the New York shows and through November 1; his spot will be taken by Purity Ring (November 7 through December 20) and Carly Rae Jepsen (January 5 through February 5). “Witness: The Tour” is Perry’s first run since the sold-out 151-date “Prismatic

onny Lang, returning to the area after a long absence, performs on October 19 at The Paramount in Huntington; the coveted “Founder’s Room Afterparty” applies for this performance. Tickets are now on sale; log on to paramountny.com for information, or call (631) 673-7300. Lang is a man on a mission; his new album, Signs, is now out via Concord Records, and it’s the blues/rock artist’s first in four years. Starting off the record with a juke joint stomp, “Make It Move” is Lang’s story about going to the mountain rather than waiting for it to come to you.

JONNY LANG
His Own Brand Of Blues At The Paramount
“There have been times in my life where I thought something would take care of itself, when I should have put some effort forth to help it happen,” said Lang. “Being proactive has been a weak spot for me, and the song is about doing your part to get things moving.” Fan can download “Make It Move” for free via Jonny’s website at jonnnylang.com. It is hard to believe that at only 36 years old, Lang has already had a successful career for two decades. Easier to believe when you learn he released his first platinum record at 15 — an age when many young people are just beginning to play music. Lie To Me revealed a talent that transcended the crop of blues
prodigies floating around in the late nineties. No flashy re-hasher of classic blues licks, even at that early age Lang was a full-blown artist with a style of his own. Also, setting Lang apart from the wunderkind crowd was a 15-year-old voice that sounded like a weathered soul shouter. Actual life experience was yet to come, and has been subsequently chronicled in a series of five albums.
What began as a bluesy sound, influenced by Albert Collins, B. B. King, and Buddy Guy, evolved over those recordings into a modern R&B style closer to Stevie Wonder and contemporary gospel music. Lang’s distinctive, blues-inflected licks appeared on every album, but became but one element in a career of passionately sung and tightly arranged songs.

putting down women’s tennis, and the 29-yearold star Billie Jean King, then in her prime. King has long called her match with Riggs the most important of her career. The filmmakers and stars from the film attended a press conference at Arthur Ashe Stadium before the start of the 2017 US Open women’s finals. The inimitable Howard Cosell was a key part of the ABC telecast, which to this day remains the most-watched sporting event that wasn’t MIchael a Super Bowl. I asked co- Conforto directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris why they inserted actual footage of Howard Cosell calling the match instead of using an actor; Dayton admitted that it wouldn’t have been difficult to cast someone to play the sportscaster, but that whenever he saw anyone trying to portray Cosell, it was always a distracting caricature.

LIGBT Off & Running: The Long Island Generations Bowling Tour (LIGBT) season is now underway – and the season's first tournament (as well as the $1,000 first prize) was won by Lisa LaGuarino of North Bellmore, who led the second squad on the challenging Autobahn oil pattern and pretty much dominated straight through to the championship match at AMF Garden City Bowl. It was the talented left hander's second LIGBT championship to date … The summer season for the LIGBT came to a close as Andre Johnson of Port Chester won $2,000 at the LIGBT's match play championship on September 3 at AMF Babylon Lanes; Johnson emerged as the winner of the tournament shot on the Boardwalk oil pattern.

Dayton also noted that although Cosell was known for being a liberal (as evidenced by his defense of Muhammad Ali both when the boxer changed his name from Cassius Clay, and when he applied for a waiver from military service on the basis of being a conscientious objector), Cosell was a product of his times. A lot of Cosell’s commentary during the match contained a lot of what most of would consider to be sexist statements by 2017 standards; Dayton and Faris didn’t want moviegoers to think that a screenwriter was putting words into the mouth of an actor portraying arguably the most controversial sportscaster in history. King surprised many at the press conference by stating that she never watched a replay of that historic ABC telecast until 25 years later. She was shocked by a lot of what Cosell said that night, whichfrankly did not raise an eyebrow at the time. When New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto dislocated his shoulder by swinging at a pitch, it was deemed an unusual injury by even Mets standards. General

Hurricane Irma forced The Tampa Bay Rays to move their three-game series with The New York Yankees from Tropicana Field to Citi Field. The change in venue meant that former Met Lucas Duda got an unexpected chance to revisit his old stomping grounds. Duda was thrilled that the Mets clubhouse staff gave him his old corner locker for the three games, and that he harbored no bitterness towards the Mets. “I understand the business side of the game,” he told me in the dugout before the first game of the series. Duda also gave a hearty endorsement to his successor, Dominic

Smith (“He’s going to be a special player”), but added that Mets fans may have to be patient with both Smith and rookie shortstop Amed Rosario. The NHL hosted a press conference at Citi Field to announce that the annual New Year’s Day Winter Classic would be at the baseball stadium, which will pit The New York Rangers against The Buffalo Sabres. Flushing Meadows has been frequently bandied about as a potential home for a new arena for The New York Islanders, so I asked NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman why they were not asked to participate in the Winter Classic. Bettman, to his credit, was rather candid as he said that while the Islanders are a valuable member of the NHL community, he had to take the needs of his television network partner, NBC, and league corporate sponsors into account. Bettman was diplomatically stating the obvious: The Islanders have conducted themselves in a rinky dink, second-rate manner since their early 1980s Stanley Cup glory days. The cold reality, however, is that the Islanders need the exposure of playing in the NHL’s most viewed regular season game far more than the Rangers do. The Islanders are on borrowed time in their current arena, Barclays Center,

which has poorly maintained ice and wasn’t built with hockey in mind. Politicians aren’t going to lift a finger to help a sports team that only a relatively few diehards care about. The team's most important player, center John Tavares, is in the last year of his contract. Watching the Isles get snubbed for a marquee game in which they should have been involved only adds doubt about whether he will re-sign with the team. Islanders managing partner Jon Ledecky has to be livid about his franchise being left out of the NHL’s biggest annual party being held in his old backyard. The Breeders Cup will be held just north of San Diego at Del Mar. Mets outfielder Travis Taijeron, who is from San Diego, offers a travel tip for those wanting to do something exotic such as tacking on a trip to the Mexican beach towns of Puerto Vallarta or Cabo San Lucas: “Just bring your passport and walk across the Tijuana border, and the airport is right there. The flights within Mexico are dirt cheap.”

They've been touring following the release of their third EP of choicely chosen covers, ReAniMate 3.0, and continue to earn new fans with each rocking concert they deliver. Don’t take it from us; fans around the country as well as area legends such as Richard Neer (the former FM deejay who is now a sportscaster on WFAN 660) have raved about this band after seeing them for the first time, so it’s high time you see them before they’re headlining the sheds.
Little Anthony & The Imperials The Spinners NYCB Theatre at Westbury October 8 at 6 PM thetheatreatwestbury.com • (516) 334-0800 So you want some hits? Lots of hits? These legendary R&B acts have charted about as many as we can count. The Spinners' “Rubberband Man” and “I'll Be Around” are still ubiquitous on the radio, while Anthony's “Tears On My Pillow” and “Goin' Out Of My Head” set the standard for smooth soul for decades to come – and that's just a sample of the hits this double bill is responsible for.

Jazz & Blues
Fulton's Landing – In The Blues: You may have heard on on local radio spots in recent weeks; perhaps you read about him in major music magazines or websites. There's little question that Robert Fulton – who was born in Long Island – is a hot blues artist at present; just a few days ago, he and his band, The Lost Soul Gypsies, tore the roof off at The Triad in New York City, the type of rare, high-profile booking that most emerging music artists only dream of taking part in. It's all probably thanks to his soon-to-be-released new album, Witness, which fans of everyone from Joe Bonamassa to B.B. King will likely find becoming part of their music libraries. Now relocated to Manhattan, Fulton, who is as gifted a singer as he is a guitarist and songwriter, has collaborated with some of contemporary music's biggest professionals. He's been working with the legendary Grammy Award-winning producer Jack Douglas, who has worked with Robert such classic Fulton artists as John Lennon, Aerosmith, and Bob Dylan. Douglas was drawn to Roberts' originality and creativity in his lyrics, composition, and performance. The new album was produced by Douglas and recorded at Sunset Sound Studios and United Recording Studios in Los Angeles, and mixed at Laurel Canyon in California. The album was mastered at the biggest mastering house in the country, Sterling Sound Studios, in New York City at the end of last year. The tracks on the new album run the gamut of comtempoary blues and rock styles, with a surprising pop lilt to make it all accessible; it begins with the rocking opener “One Woman Man,” followed by a wealth of more original songs in “She’s Cold,” “Shine,” “You And Me,” “New York City,” “Soul To Soul,” “No Regrets,” “Why We’re Through,” the soulful “Man On The Side,” and the plaintive “Sister, Brother.” There’s a lot more coming for his Fulton and his fans: The young artist is now preparing for an expansive 2017/2018 tour throughout North America, South America, Canada, and Europe. Learn more, hear music clips, and discover this bold new blues artist at Rfultonmusic.com.

BEER & SPIRITS
It's Oktoberfest Time: Look for Oktoberbest-themed events to dot the landscape this month – and one of the most highly anticipated is The Crossroads Farm Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 14 from 1 to 5 pm at Crossroads Farm in Malverne. Information is at (516) 881-7900; tickets are available via xroadsfarmliny.com. Tickets are $25 per person (adults) in advance, or $35 at the door; children and designated drivers are $10. The admission price for adults includes your own mug and two pours; other attractions include selections of craft beers and wine; food trucks; a “chicken dance”; pony rides; hayrides; face painting; and other attractions. Live music will be provided by
the area classic rock band The Project. Naragansett’s Big Reveal: Hallo Nachbar! Narragansett Beer has announced the return of Fest, a traditional Märzen Lager, just in time for the start of Oktoberfest. After a three-year hiatus that was full of endless demand to bring Fest back, ‘Gansett is resurrecting the awardwinning beer that’s fit for King Gambrinus himself. Now brewed at Narragansett Brewery at The Guild in Pawtucket, Fest is inspired by ‘Gansett’s authentic German heritage. Founded by a group of six German immigrants in 1890, Narragansett’s original Cranston, Rhode Island brewery was once home to legendary Oktoberfest parties and a towering statue of King Gambrinus, the traditional European cultural icon of beer and revelry. The 5.5% ABV and 22 IBU amber lager is brewed with Germany’s highest quality hops and malts including Munich malts from Weyermann and Tettnang hops. Together they create a balanced brew with notes of bread and toasted malt to start, followed by a crisp, subtly spiced hop finish. Narragansett Fest is available in six packs of 12-ounce cans for $8.99 to $9.99 SRP, and on tap at bars and restaurants. It will be distributed throughout Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and select markets in New York and New Jersey. Fest will be available for the remainder of the month of October. Narragansett Beer, brewed since 1890, is a beer that has been a New England tradition for generations, producing a classic family of awardwinning American lagers and ales. Today, ‘Gansett is produced in Pawtucket and in upstate Rochester, and is one of America’s top 50 regional brewers and a fast-growing one in the Northeast. More: Visit narragansettbeer.com.

Musically, his guitar, piano, and ukulele reflect inspiration from all over the map – gospel, rock, blues, Jazz, and world music – but his center is in the singer/songwriter tradition that traces it roots all the way back to the social awareness of Woody Guthrie. Harris (left) writes from a personal sense of mission that merges a world view full of wisdom with a singularly hopeful stance that life, though often challenging, is filled with possibility and hope. His songs reveal thoughts about life and love and some of the deep aspects of the human experience, and cover topics ranging from his own personal journey to world issues.

PERFORMANCE Wild Child: A Jim Morrison Celebration
The Paramount Huntginton This popular tribute act returned once again to The Paramount on August 12, and this sort of thing doesn’t happen by accident. Lead singer Dave Brock told Good Times that this was his sixth show at the venue, two of them serving as the frontman for no less than original Doors members in Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek. When asked why The Doors’ music remains such a draw – and by entension, Wild Child’s – Brock mused that “it’s really up to the crowd to decide.” Indeed, the crowd made that decision on this evening, setting the night on fire from the first note played. “Roadhouse Blues” opened the party, and by the time that the music was over, 19 classic songs had been performed. Highlights included “Love Me Two Times,” “Alabama Song/Back Door Man,” “Strange Days,” “Peace Frog, “Crystal Ship,” “The Wasp,” and “Light My Fire.” “I Can't See Your Face In My Mind” would stand out as the rarest gem among a set list with more classic hits than a Mike Tyson bout. Brock has the Morrison look and mystique down cold, as if affected by a mystical gravity. He worked the Paramount crowd like a master; and no presentation exists in 2017 that’s closer to a vintage live Doors concert from the late 1960s. The band was period perfect, like looking into an audio mirror enhanced by a lava lamp. It is a bit strange to contemplate that Brock has peformed more shows of Doors music than Jim Morrison, but it’s fortunate that he has been there to fill the void that Morrison’s too early exit created. The Elvis Tribute Artist Spectacular NYCB Theatre At Westbury A triumverate of Elvis Presley tribute artists – Cody Ray Slaughter, Shawn Klush, and Scott Mitchell – shook it up at this theater in the round on August 25. This “Tupelo Trinity” recreated Elvis from his roots to the obligatory mention of his final exit from the building. Slaughter opened the set like a musical petrologist with “Dixieland Rock.” A superb “Love Me Tender” was a highlight. The Fabulous Ambassadors served as musical support, as if Sun Records delivered takeout to The NYCB Theatre. Long Island’s Scott Mitchell took the handoff and walked into the seats among his subjects, performing hits from “The King’s” film years. The sweet inspiration of Portia Griffin offered an accompanying vocal to “Crawfish” that was worth the price of admission all by itself Slaughter returned, dressed for the 1968 “comeback special.” “It Hurts Me,” “Little Sister,” and “The Power Of My Love” seemed to be from a time machine, when Elvis claimed his throne. “If I Can Dream” seemed as appropriate a midpoint highlight today as then. “Also Sprach Zarathustra” opened the “concert years” segment, with Shawn Klush delivering his musical welcome in “See See Rider.” Klush was airborne in his Vegas jumpsuit, flying into “Burning Love” and “The Wonder Of You.” Also performed were “It’s Now or Never” and “Seperate Ways,” which paid tribute to Elvis’ former bodyguard and songwriter, Red West. “Walk A Mile in My Shoes,” “My Way,” and “Suspicious Minds” were evidence enough to dub this singer the closest thing to seeing “The King” in concert. – Reviews by Bob Wilson; Wild Child photos by Wayne Herrschaft, HeadlampDigital.com

Tiara Tae & ... Tony Clifton?
Comedy
Back From The Dead?: Tony Clifton, who hasn't been seen much since the death of Andy Kaufman in 1984, is back, and in some ways, he’s even “bigger” than ever: The lounge singer and “entertainer” pretty much ambushed the recent Toroton Film Festvial. The “real” Clifton appeared alongside his co-star, Jim Carrey, for the North American premiere of the Spike Jonze/Vice documentary, titled Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond – The Story of Jim Carey & Andy Kaufman With A Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention Of Tony Clifton, directed by Chris Smith. In the doc, Carrey portrays both Clifton and Kaufman, who legend claims discovered Clifton in a seedy Las Vegas, Nevada lounge back in 1969. There are some who believe Kaufman faked his death in 1984 Peter and is disguising himself as Tony Bales Clifton. Howeer, the current Clifton claims, “That’s a bunch of malarkey!” adding, “If someone wants to see Andy Kaufman, they should get themselves a flashlight and a shovel.” Accompanying Clifton in Toronto was his reported girlfriend, Tiara Tae, a legal sex worker at Dennis Hof’s World Famous Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Nevada. He’s somebody at last: Clifton was photographed with a number of celebrities at The Toronto Film Festival, including Nicolas Cage, Gary Oldman, Idris Elba, Willem Dafoe, Octavia Spencer, Bill Pullman, Sarah Silverman, Judy Greer, and a host of Gary other stars. Gulman Shockingly, we haven't seen the last of this “all-around entertainer”: Clifton is headlining a “Day Of The Dead” performance on November 1 at Iridium Jazz Club in New York City. “Come. Pinch me,” Clifton beckoned.

AZWEL A ‘Journey’ Like No Other
Who: The multi-faceted rock act Azwel will see its new album, The Elastic Journey, released today (October 3). The group is comprised of Jason Perrillo (songwriting, vocals, guitar, keys, percussion, extra instrumentation); Joe Lorge (guitar, background vocals), Randy Bennis (keyboards), Gregg Steele (bass, cello, upright bass, background vocals), and John Zaletel (drums). The group’s entirely original sound contains elements of alternative indie, Brit pop, pop rock, piano, and chamber pop to create a soundscape that is as impossible to describe as it is fascinating. The Artists & Their Sound: From their bio: “The Elastic Journey is the first release in three years by Azwel. The album, as always, was recorded in songwriter Jason Perrillo's studio in New York; he wrote, engineered, and arranged the music. The instrumentation on the album includes a wide array of instruments. Aside from the typical guitars and keyboards, there are lots of strings, woodwinds, and brass sounds. Styles range from pop rock, acoustic, Britpop, baroque pop, etc. Lyrical themes involve loss, altercation, depression, and general storytelling as the moods change from song to song. “Up until a few years ago, Azwel just consisted of Jason Perrillo but now there is a full live band consisting of Joe Lorge (guitar/backing vocals) Gregg Steele (bass/backing vocals), Johnny Zaletel (drums/percussion), and occasional live member Randy Bennis(Keyboards.) The sound is catchy, memorable and often compared to Britpop/rock artists.” To Learn More About The Artists: The Elastic Journey is available now; find the band at their website, azwel.com. Also: Facebook (facebook.com/azwel); Bandcamp (bandcamp.com/azwel); Reverb Nation (reverbnation.com/azwel), and Twitter (twitter.com/azwel). Most of the band’s many albums are available to download for free on the official website, with the choice of optional donations depending on how much the listener enjoys the album.

More Reed: I was bringing people from the New York City scene to my home base on Long Island in the '70s, where I was co-hosting shows on WBAB FM on Sunday nights with Joel Martin; Joel did shows on “the men in black” and psychic phenoms before it was fashionable to do so – but he allowed me to bring people to the station that I thought would serve as interesting guests. After the-then “Wayne" County made a big splash, I became bold, and shortly thereafter brought Cherry Vanilla and Leee Black Childers to WBAB to do a MainManbased show, which was also a major success. So then I became truly bold: Lou Reed had a new album to sell, Rock And Roll Heart, having just signed with Arista; he agreed to come out to do a twohour interview. The amazing new Anthony DeCurtis book, Lou Reed: A Life, which thoroughly details the artist's hot and cold approach to dealing with others, reminds me so much of that night at WBAB. The book serves as a map of Reed's life journey, the true stranger-in-a strange land that America was becoming in the 1960s, and it explains a lot about the encounters I shared with Reed. The character that he became by the time we did our radio show took quite a long time to develop, and the DeCurtis book captures it all: The Freeport, Long Island years; the birth of The Velvet Underground; Warhol; Max's Kansas City; David Bowie; MainMan; and beyond are all here in pinpoint, riveting detail.
Obviously, the WBAB show took a turn midway through when Reed said some things I didn't like about people I was friends with, and by the time we returned him to his then-other half, the transgender Rachel, at their Manhattan apartment, we were not speaking. Lou's later years are well documented by DeCurtis, an admitted longtime friend of Reed. Lou did mellow by the time he joined Laurie Anderson as a life partner. Although Lou and I engaged in a silent staring contest at Stony Brook University after the WBAB show, we did
unite years later for Yvonne R. Sewall's Mike Quashie Fundraiser at The Bowery Ballroom in the early 2000s, where he performed and I emceed. We had a chat, and I managed to bring a tear or two to his eye backstage before I brought him out on to the stage that night. There could only have ever been one pivotal, world-changing character in rock the likes of Lou Reed. It's all there – the good, the bad, and the ugly – in Lou Reed: A Life.

She’s A ‘Troublemaker’ Singer/ songwriter Stephanie K offers no apologies for taking control and asserting her will on Troublemaker, her five-song debut EP that will be released Darius October 20. Setting the stage Rucker for the EP is “Tonight,” an electronic club banger written and produced by Trend Def. Stephanie wrote the rest of the set with Michael J. Powell, who produced the tracks. Pictured on the EP cover with a collection of heads hanging on the wall – trophies representing romantic conquests – Stephanie’s lyrical subjects are a mix of girl power and party girl. “The songs are a very true representation of who I am as a person and as an artist — fun, a little edgy and not at all afraid to be different and unique,” said Stephanie K. “They were inspired by real experiences and raw emotions, which made the writing process so fluid and natural. I’ve lived through this stuff, and I think listeners can appreciate that type of authenticity and honesty.” More: StephanieKMusic.com.
