HEY OUTTOWNERS!
ITS THAT TIME !!
TIME TO GET TOWNED!!
BLACK MUSIC MONTH BITZ
This week we feature Chicago native gospel/R&B group, Staple Singers.
The family began appearing in Chicago-area
churches in 1948, and signed their first professional contract in 1952.[1] During their early career they
recorded in an acoustic gospel-folk style
with various labels: United
Records, Vee-Jay
Records (their "Uncloudy
Day" and "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" were best sellers), Checker
Records, Riverside
Records, and then Epic
Records in 1965.
While the family surname is "Staples",
the group used the singular form for its name, resulting in the group's name
being "The Staple Singers".
It was on Epic that the Staple Singers began
moving into mainstream pop markets, with "Why (Am I Treated
So Bad)" and "For What It's Worth"
(Stephen
Stills) in 1967. In 1968, the Staple Singers signed to Stax
Records and released two
albums with Steve
Cropper and Booker T & the MG's —Soul Folk in Action and We'll
Get Over. By 1970, Al Bell had become producer,
and with Engineer Terry
Manning, the family began recording at the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, and Memphis' Ardent
Studios, moving in a more funk and soul direction.
The first Stax hit was "Heavy Makes You
Happy (Sha-Na-Boom Boom)". Their 1971 recording of "Respect
Yourself", written by Luther
Ingram andMack Rice,
peaked at #2 on the R&B charts and was a #12 pop hit as well. The song's theme of
self-empowerment had universal appeal, released in the period immediately
following the intense American civil rights movement of the 1960s. In 1972, the group had a
huge #1 hit in the United States
Then, after Stax's bankruptcy in 1975, they signed to Curtis
Mayfield's label, Curtom
Records, and released "Let's Do It Again", produced by
Mayfield; the song became their second #1 pop hit in the US and the album also.
In 1976, they collaborated with The Band for their film The
Last Waltz, performing on the song "The Weight"
(which The Staple Singers had previously covered on their first Stax album).
However, they were not able to regain their momentum, releasing only occasional
minor hits.
Their 1984 album Turning Point featured their final Top 40 hit, a cover
of Talking
Heads' "Slippery People" (which also reached the Top 5 on the
Dance chart). In 1994, they again performed the song "The Weight"
with Country music artistMarty Stuart for MCA Nashville's Rhythm, Country and Blues compilation, somewhat re-establishing
an audience. The song "Respect Yourself" was used by Spike Lee in the
soundtrack to his movie Crooklyn,
made in 1994.
In 1999, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pops Staples
died of complications from a concussion suffered in December 2000. In 2005, the
group was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Mavis
Staples has continued to
carry on the family tradition and continues to add her vocal talents to both
the projects of other artists and her own solo ventures.

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 theMidwest will be eliminated.
It's that time gents for Mista Couture. We are seeking gents with style and ladies with fashion flair to be escorts for the gents. If your interested in being a contestant or escort, email manfashionshow@yahoo.com before July 1, 2012 for details!
THE BIG A&E NEWZ STORY THIS WEEK IS:
.png)
President Barack Obama is on the cover of the
latest issue of Essence magazine. President
Barack Obama covers the July issue of
ESSENCE hitting stands on June 12th.
In
his interview with the magazine, Obama shares his plans for improving
the economy, our health, homes and future — and why he’s excited about the next
four years:
“I’ve always approached my presidency as a long-term
proposition . . . I didn’t run for office just to clean up the mess I
inherited. I didn’t run for office just to return to the status quo.
Understanding that some of the things I get done, we may not see the benefits
from them for ten years. But that’s how change happens.”
Meanwhile, his wife
FLOTUS Michelle Obama appeared with Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob
Iger at the Newseum in Washington , D.C.
The company will drop advertisers from its children’s
programming that do not comply with tighter nutrition guidelines instituted by
the media and entertainment giant.
It was rumored that media mogul Oprah Winfrey was getting fired
from OWN. Well, not exactly. She is
losing her power at her OWN cable network. In a shocking move recently,
executives at Discovery, which gave Oprah her Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), have
decided she can no longer make executive decisions. They have curtailed her
control at the network, and she will be the C.E.O. in name only. Since OWN,
launched in January 2011, they’ve lost over $330 million.
Wow, that should have really added salt to the already open wound of the
losses with her network. Reportedly her co-owners feel that she is clueless as
to how to run a network. Well, she admitted to this earlier in the year so what
is new? Let’s hope Oprah can swim in the
shark infested ratings of her network.
The 50-year-old told an audience about her
condition at a recent concert, but her representative, Christine Wolff, said
it’s very common.
The
tumor is a meningioma, and it’s typically benign and develops from the
protective linings of the brain and spinal cord.
Wolff
said that Crow is doing great and is healthy and happy.
Crow
battled breast cancer several years back.
Sheryl Crow was performing at Taste of Pinellas last month when,
inexplicably, she forgot the words to one of her signature songs, Soak Up the Sun.
"Oh, what's the words?" she said.
Then she told the audience, "I'm 50, what
can I say? My brain has gone to s---."
"The only thing that irks me is they waited
until I was 90," the TV legend joked as the crowd chuckled. "A few
decades ago would have been swell."
Dressed in a bright pink blazer with perfectly
coiffed hair, White matched the color of her replica, which was clad in a hot
pink tracksuit.
"I think they did a wonderful job," the Hot in
Cleveland star
told PEOPLE of putting together her mirror image. "I'm really amazed. I'm
so impressed. I don't know how they do this, but it's a tremendous honor and I
appreciate it."
White has just one problem.
"She won't look at me," the actress
lightheartedly complained. "I keep talking to her, but she won't turn her
head."
As fans continued to cheer and surround the
roped-off area in which White sat, the always-humble star didn't seem to
understand the big fuss.

years and have two daughters, Ming , 12, and Aoki , 9. They divorced in 2009.
In
summer 2008, Simmons and Hounsou participated in a traditional Beninese
commitment ceremony. In May 2009, their son Kenzo Lee Hounsou was born. He just
celebrated his third birthday.

Three
talents that got air time and gt a ticket to audition in las Vegas Jackson
Spencer Horsman: The self-dubbed "world's youngest escape
artist" (Stern observed that he looked 14, though he's actually 26)
managed to wriggle free of a straitjacket while hanging upside down just
before a flaming rope keeping a jagged trap from clapping shut on him burned
through, spelling his doom. It was dramatic, and he had a sweet onstage
demeanor. As long as he's got some good follow-up stunts, this young Houdini
could stick around a while.
The Cut Throat Freakshow: This act included a woman named "Candy
Pants" who walked and did a handstand on crushed glass, a guy who picked
up a chair with his eyelids and a sword swallower – and that's pretty much all
the details I could make out through my fingers.
Not
all the acts were waved through to the Vegas round, of course, though some were
offered consolation prizes that seemed to please them nearly as much. A
pint-size Ozzy Osbourne impersonator earned a hug from Ozzy's wife, "AGT" judge
Sharon Osbourne. "I would die," he said, when offered the opportunity
to clinch his hero's spouse.
A guy named Ron Christopher Porter Jr., whose dream is to do movie trailer voice-overs
("I don't see where this would be an act … I don't think you can go
onstage with this," Stern wisely intoned) was invited to "hang
out" with "AGT" host Nick Cannon. "Really? Oh my god!"
Porter said, jumping up and down as if he'd just won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. Porter was further rewarded with more stage time and
a ride in Cannon's limo.
There were other seriously buzzer-worthy acts: a
female drummer who'd lost her band, a woman who crushes soda cans with her bare
hands ("This chick almost hit me in the face with her cans," quipped
Mandel), a guy in a chicken costume, some dude with a lasso and a small plastic
bull.

THE
BIG STL A&E STORY THIS WEEK IS:
.jpg)
After rejecting the Rams' plan to improve the Edward Jones Dome,
the public agency that operates the downtown facility said it wants to
negotiate with the franchise before the Dome-renovation issue —
and, possibly, the future of the Rams in St. Louis — is put in the hands of
arbitrators this month.
According to the stltoday.com, The St. Louis Convention and
Visitors Commission, which manages the Dome, rejected on last Friday a Rams'
proposal that called for much of the stadium to be rebuilt with bigger VIP
areas, more concession facilities and a sliding roof panel. City officials have
estimated the team's proposal could cost $700 million and would make it
impossible to book large conventions during construction.
The Rams' proposal was a counteroffer to a much more modest
renovation plan put forward Feb. 1 by the CVC. Under that plan, the team would
have picked up 52 percent of the $124 million construction costs. The Rams plan
did not indicate how much, if anything, the franchise would be willing to
contribute.
The dueling plans come as a result of a clause in the team's 1995
lease of the Dome that requires it to be a "first-tier" facility in
15 categories by 2015. If that doesn't happen, the Rams can terminate the lease
after the 2014 season — 10 years before the 30-year lease would otherwise
expire.
In a statement on its rejection of the Rams' plan, the CVC
suggested it hopes to find some middle ground with the Rams before a June 15
deadline triggers mandatory, binding arbitration.
Hmm, this
is interesting. So the CVC is bending over backwards to settle a deal with the
Rams before going to courts to settle it. And that means one thing—the city is
gonna be flipped the bill on most of the $700millionand probably will be done
in say a 10 year time span. Rams owner
Stan Kroenke has the city where he wants and he knows it. Without the team, the
city will lose millions in tax revenue and the city cant afford to lose the
team even though the team hasn’t won a championship in well over a decade. So,
the way its looking the city is about to write out a check for the renovations
to the Edward Jones Dome can start.
According to the
stltoday.com, Metro East law enforcement officials raided several East St. Louis
Police targeted three
clubs: Posh, Club 103 and Club Rolex. A man was murdered outside of Club
103 earlier this year.
Authorities also raided
several convenience stores, seizing drugs. St. Clair County State's Attorney
Brendan Kelly has filed a temporary restraining order to close three of the
Crown Food Marts.
Four people and the the
corporate entity doing business as Crown Food Mart were charged with 57
different drug distribution and public nuisance crimes. More than $200,000 in
assets and drugs were seized during the searches. Liquor licenses for the Crown
Food Marts on River Park Collinsville Avenue 8301 State Street
"There is strong
reason to believe the continued operation of businesses that profit from and
perpetuate illegal and dangerous activities cause substantial harm to the
interests of the public in East Saint Louis
A special grand jury will
focus on the results of the investigation.
The clubs have been a near
constant subject of controversy. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., came to
the city earlier this year and called for Mayor Alvin Parks to end the city's
late-night liquor sales, which he called "an invitation for more murders,
more crime." He has asked the city to enforce a 1 a.m. "last call" for liquor
sales.
Parks has so far refused,
saying the clubs provide jobs and tax revenue for a city with serious
economic woes.
Looks like doomsday is near for East St Louis
On the final day of Major
League Baseball's first-year player draft, the Cardinals did what their manager
expressly requested they wouldn't.
In the 23rd round on last Wednesday, the Cardinals selected St.
Louis-area center fielder Tate Matheny, son of their manager — Mike Matheny.
Going into the draft, the elder Matheny talked with team officials about his
son, who emerged this spring as a vibrant talent at Westminster Christian and
arguably the best player in the area, and he requested that they not draft
Tate.
As the first two days of
the draft came and went without teams willing to take Tate and meet his preferred signing bonus, the Cards
approached Mike about another scenario.
"I thought if he
didn't go higher in the draft, in an area where it made sense for him to sign,
that they would get him later on, just in case," the manager said. "I
think they were just seeing a kid who was a draftable (prospect), a local kid,
and they just wanted to give him an honor. It's a day he'll never forget."
The Cardinals concluded
the three-day, 40-round draft Wednesday with a series of picks that had
Cardinals connections. General manager John Mozeliak said going into the final
rounds the plan was to make several "legacy picks." The team selected
five players with ties to the club. The sons of two members of Matheny's
coaching staff were selected by the team: third-base coach Jose Oquendo's
switch-hitting son Eduardo was taken in the 32nd round and bench coach Mike
Aldrete's son Michael, a pitcher, is likely to sign with the club after going
in the 39th round.
The Cards also picked
minor-league hitting instructor Derrick May's son, Derrick Jr., an outfielder,
in the 37th round. They took scout Joe Almaraz's son Jacoby, a first baseman,
in the 21st round.
Its going to be interesting how Metheny will treat his own son in the
ranks. And the media will be there to see every move on whether he gets
favoritism or be intentionally overlooked.

The immediate plan is to
keep the restaurant and entertainment venue open for its upcoming performances.
From earlier reports, a St.
Louis County judge ordered the 1-year-old Jumpin' Jupiter restaurant-cabaret
space out of 7376 Manchester Road in Maplewood an eviction notice in reference
to a lawsuit filed March 30 against the
Jumpin' Jupiter and its owner, Jim Callahan, by the property's landlord,
Maple King LLC.
Circuit Judge Sandra
Farragut-Hemphill ruled April 29 that Jumpin' Jupiter must
give the space back to the landlord. The court issued orders on May
22 and May 24, respectively, for the club to repay Maple King
$40,506.20 and to vacate the building.
"We are not being
evicted," Callahan wrote on his Facebook page the day before the judge ordered him out.
"Cutting costs. Paying off all accounts payable... We are not
