Dove Nested Towers: May 2014
http://dovenestedtowers.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Saturday, May 31, 2014. From a 50-Something Perspective, The Big Chill Has Grown Tepid. Late last night, while my younger daughter slept and my older daughter commandeered the computer, I turned on the television to span some time and bring on the sleepies. To my amusement, I found The Big Chill. Came out when I was still in high school and it made me impatient to go to college, where food fights would be an everyday occurrence. And all the record stores. If you need a remin...

Dove Nested Towers: CD Review: The Waterboys, Modern Blues
http://dovenestedtowers.blogspot.com/2015/01/cd-review-waterboys-modern-blues.html
ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. CD Review: The Waterboys, Modern Blues. Harlequin And Clown, CLOWNE1 (2015). Edinburgh-born Mike Scott came to modest fame in the early to mid 1980s as the leader of the Waterboys. Poetic, spiritual, and frequently changing his band’s musical style, he is much like Dylan, except less oblique about revealing himself to his fans. He has also hailed Dylan’s influence and has covered several Dylan songs over the years. Era songs in concert and otherw...

Dove Nested Towers: March 2014

ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Sunday, March 23, 2014. Circe Link (with Christian Nesmith) at Atwoods Tavern, Cambridge, Massachusetts, March 23, 2014. Some shows are a little harder to encapsulate than others, so here are five perspectives on a highly satisfying musical experience I enjoyed today. Like Twiggy, she was impossibly skinny; and her hair was as long, blond, and straight as Joni Mitchell’s on her first day in Laurel Canyon. Jason M. Rubin. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Jason M. Rubin.

Dove Nested Towers: CD Review: Heliopolis, City of the Sun
http://dovenestedtowers.blogspot.com/2014/11/cd-review-heliopolis-city-of-sun.html
ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Sunday, November 16, 2014. CD Review: Heliopolis, City of the Sun. City of the Sun. 10t Records, 10T10078 (2014). Back in 1989, I was certain that progressive rock was dead. I had a fairly decent view of the landscape back then, as I was publishing a monthly newsletter on the genre entitled On Reflection. In the ensuing years, I have continued to enjoy the prog that I always liked and have been downright suspicious of any modern attempts to wave the banner. I have writte...

ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Sunday, November 4, 2012. Knowing when to clap. Sometimes, an appreciative artist will applaud the audience. I’ve always wondered why. I suppose it’s because we clapped at the right times. Still, I’ve never earned an encore so I guess there’s room for improvement. Jason M. Rubin. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Jason M. Rubin.

Dove Nested Towers: Movie Review: Love & Mercy
http://dovenestedtowers.blogspot.com/2015/06/movie-review-love-mercy.html
ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Sunday, June 14, 2015. Movie Review: Love and Mercy. Brian Wilson’s production masterpiece, “Good Vibrations,” was the apex of his popular success, topping the charts and selling more than a million copies. Released in October 1966, it was a psychedelic harbinger of 1967’s so-called Summer of Love, providing both a sound and a lexicon for nascent hippiedom everywhere. Aborted at the time and only completed under his own name in 2004. With Smile. While recording the Pet Sounds.

Dove Nested Towers: September 2014

ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Saturday, September 27, 2014. Rebooting the Blog: Introduction/King Crimson Concert Review. Have you ever looked up the definition of a word that you already know what it means, just to see what the actual definition is? So why did I bother in the first place? Was based on a 17. Century English folk ballad, while the second one I am currently struggling mightily with was inspired by a song by jazz singer Cassandra Wilson. 8211; and I will tell you how to send it to me. I sho...

Dove Nested Towers: October 2012
http://dovenestedtowers.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. To review, here is what we got: three moderated, televised encounters of 90 minutes each; the focus of each debate, and in some cases the very questions themselves, were known to each candidate in advance. What transpired, then, was a well-rehearsed recitation of stances and accusations, with an assortment of pre-composed snappy zingers designed to serve as the ultimate takeaways. Learning From the Past. The fact is, though many of us bemoan the ...

Dove Nested Towers: July 2015
http://dovenestedtowers.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
ONE WRITER'S LIFE – AND WORK. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Where is my outrage? I have sympathy for those who are suggesting that racism or perhaps just apathy are to blame for the fact that Cecil is outpolling Sandra. After all, what is happening between police and black people in America these days is scary and indicative of a larger pattern of police brutality. According to a recent study by The Guardian. Some 140 black Americans have been killed by police this year. We as a public accept that there is a ...
