HEY
OUTTOWNERS!
ITS
THAT TIME AGAIN!!
TIME
TO GET TOWNED!!!
BLACK MUSIC BITZ
June is Black
Music Month and starting this week we
will highlight music artists who have made an impact on black music who were
either born, born and raised or lived in
the Illinois/Missouri area.
This week we
highlight jazz artist Charlie “Bird”
Parker.
Born in Kansas City, Kansas, and raised in Kansas City, Missouri,Charles Parker, Jr. (August 29, 1920 –
March 12, 1955), also known as Yardbird and Bird,[2] was an American jazz
saxophonist and composer.
Parker began playing the saxophone at age 11, and
at age 14 joined his school's band using a rented school instrument. In the late thirties Parker began to practice diligently. During
this period he mastered improvisation and developed some of the ideas that led
to bebop. In an interview with Paul
Desmond, he said that he spent 3–4years practicing up to 15 hours a day.[6]
He played with local bands in jazz clubs around Kansas City , Missouri
In 1939 Parker moved to New York City
According to an interview Parker gave in the 1950s, one night in
1939, he was playing "Cherokee" in a jam session with
guitarist William "Biddy" Fleet when he hit upon a method for
developing his solos that enabled one of his main musical innovations, bebop.
It was not until 1945, when the recording ban was lifted, that Parker's
collaborations with Dizzy
Gillespie, Max Roach, Bud Powell and others had a substantial effect on
the jazz world. One of their first (and greatest) small-group performances
together was rediscovered and issued in 2005: a concert in New York June
22, 1945 . Bebop
soon gained wider appeal among musicians and fans alike.
Thus, Parker acquired the nickname "Yardbird" and the
shortened form, "Bird", which continued to be used for the rest of
his life, inspiring the titles of a number of Parker compositions, such as
"Yardbird Suite", "Ornithology", "Bird Gets the
Worm", and "Bird of Paradise."
Parker was an icon for the hipster subculture and later the Beat
Generation, personifying the jazz musician as an uncompromising artist and
intellectual, rather than an entertainer.

On Thursday, July 12, OUTTOWN will spinoff to a new blog called
OUTSTAGN, giving a stage (or platform) to mover and shakers in the arts and
entertainment in the STL area (and “out of town”) by ways of interviews and
features. It also will focus on recaps and reviews of fashion and style as seen
at red carpeted, regular club events, and fashion shows. Lastly, in our theme
of stages, we will review live theater, and concerts.
It will be compiled at random.
And don’t worry, we will still have the OUTTOWN faves such as BLIND
DISHZ, BLIND PICZ, PROMOCIALITES, BDAZEs and EVENTZ that will likely post every
Thursday as UPSTAGE BITZ, but the weekly
compilations of top stories in the Midwest will be eliminated.
Also, at this time last year OUTTOWN was celebrating its 1,000th post. Check out what was going on at http://maatology.blogspot.com/2011/05/out-1006-illi-mo-arts-and-ent-bitz-may.html
THE BIG A&E NEWS STORY THIS WEEK IS
President Barack Obama presented the Medal
of Freedom to more than a
dozen political and cultural greats Tuesday, including rocker Bob
Dylan (PICTURED), astronaut John Glenn and novelist Toni Morrison.
In awarding the nation's
highest civilian honor to 13 recipients, living and dead, the president took
note of the overflow crowd in the East Room and said it was "a testament
to how cool this group is. Everybody wanted to check 'em out."
Obama then spoke of his
personal connection to a number of this year's recipients, calling them
"my heroes individually."
"I know how they
impacted my life," the president said. He recalled reading Morrison's
"Song of Solomon" in his youth and "not just trying to figure
out how to write, but also how to be and how to think."
In college days, Obama
said, he listened to Dylan and recalled "my world opening up, because he
captured something about this country that was so vital." Dylan's appearance
drew the biggest whoops from the crowd, and he dressed for the event —
sunglasses, bow tie and black suit embellished with shiny buckles and buttons.
Obama also recalled
reading about union pathbreaker Dolores Huerta when he was starting out as a
community organizer.
"Everybody on this
stage has marked my life in profound ways," he said.
Other honorees:
—Former Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright, the first woman to hold the job.
—John Paul Stevens, former Supreme Court
justice.
—Juliette Gordon Low,
founder of the Girl Scouts, who died in 1927.
—Shimon Peres, president of Israel
—John Doar, who handled
civil rights cases as assistant attorney general in the 1960s.
—William Foege, former
director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who helped lead the
effort to eradicate smallpox.
—Gordon Hirabayashi, who
fought the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. He died in
January.
—Jan Karski, a resistance
fighter against the Nazi occupation of Poland
FLOTUS Michelle Obama added a
new title to her storied resume as First Lady—author. That's because Crown
Publishing released her book "American Grown: The Story of the White House
Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America." The book is about Michelle
Obama's creation of the White House Garden, which she started on the South Lawn
soon after she and the president arrived in 2009.
According to Crown Publishing, publisher of this
new book, in the past three years, the garden has produced more than 3,000
pounds of fresh produce. These fruits, vegetables, and herbs are used in a
variety of ways—from White House dinners and family meals for the Obamas to
donations to Miriam's Kitchen, an organization that helps homeless individuals
in the Washington , D.C.
In more FLOTUS newz, The First Lady and her
daughters Sasha and Malia made
the trip to Atlantic City over
the weekend to catch one of the singer’s shows, and during a later appearance
on “Good
Morning America,” she praised Bey, telling Robin Roberts, “Anybody who’s
got talent, I’m all for.”
“Beyoncé has just been a tremendous supporter of
‘Let’s Move!’ Without asking, she reformulated ['Get Me Bodied'] to do a flash
mob for kids across this country,” the FLOTUS continued, referring to her campaign
to fight childhood obesity. “Beyoncé stepped up in a way that so many of
our celebrities and athletes are stepping up on behalf of this issue, so I love
her to death and was glad to be out there moving my body with her,” said Obama.
During an interview in People earlier this month,
where she promoted her new book, the First Lady also admitted that if she had
to be one other person in the world, it would be B. “If I had some gift, I’d be
Beyoncé,” she said. “I’d be some great singer.”
In April Bey penned
a note to the FLOTUS on her
website, writing, “I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she
has people like you to look up to.”
What would have
put this show over the top would have been if FLOTUS joined Bey on stage for a
dance camp of “Crazy In Love-oh-oh“ or Single Ladies.” LOL
And in even more FLOTUS newz, Michelle Obama stopped by "The
Daily Show" Tuesday night, not only to promote her new book on gardening
and eating right, but to chat candidly with Jon Stewart about everything from
her husband’s college years to how much she loves Vice President Joe Biden.
Amidst all the jokes about making our children eat their
vegetables, Stewart
asked a few questions about the Obamas as a couple, especially
about how they met.
After all the media reports of President Barack Obama’s wily
college years, Stewart asked the first lady about what he was like when she met
the guy that would later become president.
“I think when he lost his father that was one of those click-in
moments,” she said, “I think he transferred schools, went to Columbia and
that's when he got really serious about thinking about how would he use his
life to the fullest.”
They even got into the would-be elephant in the room between the
happy couple -- the fact that the first lady has a higher approval rating than
her husband. “In just marital relationships, in just arguing… how do you not
use that (against him)?” Stewart laughed.
But Obama said, "I don't wield it over him." After all,
she’s seen first-hand what it takes to be a president -- and her husband gets
all of the hard judgment calls.
“And is it hard to raise a kid around Biden?” Stewart laughed,
referring to how loose the vice president has been known to be with his
language at times. “He's the uncle that comes over and you're like 'oh you
brought them guns'”
Mrs. Obama laughed, but maintains that she loves “uncle” Joe Biden. “No, he's a great vice-president and a
great friend. My kids hang around him, and I'm good with it. “
FLOTUS we must say is a class act and knows how to handle any
question given (even if they are prepared).
But Biden is seen as an uncle? Hmm.
Media diva Kim Kardashian is
rumored to have kept current beau, Kanye West on a tight leash during his London
It is said that
Kim is well aware of Rihanna’s flirtatious reputation and was even more
cautious because she was recently spotted out with Kim’s brother Rob Kardashian
in February. Rumors are also buzzing that Rihanna isn’t the only girl Kim wants
to keep away. While in London
Is Kim K serious? This is
from someone who got famous having sex with Ray J on video for all of her
fellow suitors since then to see her getting banged out We woulda thought she woulda been down for that
ménage! We are sure Ye would have been down for that! LOL
++++++++++++
In other Ye news, he and Jay
Z’s new music video "No
Church in the Wild" doesn’t
have them in it. In the Romain
Gavras-directed clip, which
was released online Tuesday (May 29) Gavras depicts a power struggle familiar
to people all across the globe, whether in Los Angeles London
The gritty violence and social commentary are reminiscent of
Gavras' video for M.I.A.'s "Born Free." Though "No Church"
isn't as graphic (there's no nudity or massive death scenes), it is moving all
the same.
By the end of the five-minute video, the freedom fighters seem to
have notched a victory of some sort, standing in triumph in the face of their
oppressors.

was Amy Cieslowski aka The Hot Mess who is from Chicago
ADD: OWN's .reality show, Welcome to Sweetie Pie's that is filmed in St Louis has been renewed for a third season and its second season finale will be June 2
THE
BIG A&E STL NEWS STORY IS:
The Mizzou baseball team, which grabbed an unlikely berth in the
NCAA Tournament by winning the Big 12 tournament Sunday, will head to Tucson , Ariz.
The Tigers (32-26), the fourth seed among four teams in the
regional, will face host Arizona 10 p.m. (St. Louis Arizona America
The other national seeds, in order, are: UCLA, Florida State Baylor , Oregon North Carolina South
Carolina
Looks like Mizzou is going out with a bang before they switch to the SEC in July.
There are rumors that St. Louis Rams’
Head Coach Jeff
Fisher may bring one
of his former teammates from the Tennessee Titans defensive tackle
Albert Haynesworth to the Rams.
New radio personality at
Z 107.7CLEAR CHANNEL Top 40 KSLZ (Z107-7 FM)/ST, LOUIS have added the
syndicated BOBBY BONES Show to mornings, that began TUESDAY, MAY 29th. BONES,
LUNCHBOX and AMY will air live weekdays from 5-9a ET.
"Z107-7 has been one
of my favorite radio stations for years, so I can’t begin to explain how
excited I am to be heard in ST. LOUIS
The show replaces The MJ Morning Show that went off the air in
April.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ADD: According to the stltoday.com, Businesses in downtown’s Washington Avenue Washington Avenue 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday
nights.
We are sure this will cause much controversy with party goers
during those times and in that area of street where the hub of nightlife takes
place.
ADD: Speaking of nightclubs and city protests, the owner of the former
Lure Nightclub, Aprille Trupiano, who is currently co-host of STL Presents with
former Fox 2 Sports personality Rob Desir on STL TV, got a ruling from the courts in favor of them
not having their license revokes due to a two year battele with petitions from residents of loud noise and violence
outsid eteh clubs. It sowner,
In 2010, the city’s exise commissioner rule din favor of the petitioners
to revoke her license, but her attorney appealed to the Circuit Court soon after
and it reversed the city’s decision in early May due to technicalities on how
the signatures on the petitions were submitted (eg electronically by Rivergate Holdings, LLC,
and six representing homeowners associations – should not have counted which counted
more than once)
However Lure, which is now called Club Amnesia, is on the heels of
another lawsuit this time file dby the city commissions office to revoke her
license on the same grounds of the city residents two years ago.
It was reported that the Trupino Family just wants to work with the
city and get this issue settled.
So the question is, why is the city trying to get them shut
down? Is there more to the story? Is there sum type other stuff goin on with the
owners of Lure, now Club Amnesia, is dealing with the city ? Sounds very
suspect if you ask us.
ADD: According to stltoday.com, The business mogul brothers Mike and
Steve Roberts are putting various properties up for sale to pay off their
millions of debt. One major property is Roberts Tower St. Louis
Also on the market are the Roberts Lofts on the Plaza, an apartment
building a block west of the tower, and the Roberts Place Lofts, a former
school renovated as apartments on Enright Avenue Visitation Park
The Roberts Mayfair Hotel.and the nearby Roberts Orpheum theater,
also owned by the brothers, are reportedly not currently for sale.
In an interview with the Post-Dispatch in
April, the brothers said they would overcome setbacks in their various
businesses, which include hotel and broadcasting interests. After decades of
business success, the brothers lately have been beset by contractors'
complaints of unpaid bills, hotel bankruptcies and lawsuits over fees owed for
televisionprograms.
Wow, talk about taking a hard fall. It must be quite
embarrassing to have to sell most of the properties they had vested interest
in, but not paying the loans from each one is a stressful situation. Hope the
brothers are able to salvage their brand and image because this looks very
dooming.

According to the
stltoday.com., The Jumpin Jupiter owner Jim Callahan wants to put rumors to
rest that the Maplewood 7376 Manchester Road
On Callahan's Facebook
page, he wrote:
"For those who are
spreading (rumors), the Jumpin Jupiter is fine. We are not being evicted. We
are planning on getting show producers from around the country to plug in a
variety of shows. Changing the menu. Cutting costs. Paying off all accounts
payable, etc. We are building (strategic) partnerships with other companies.
Out sourcing and all will be announced when it can be. It just takes a minute
We are not closing. We are going to be here for a long time."

Hmm
we guess outsourcing is
the new buzz word for settling debts before eviction.
