![]() That solo I had written out before we recorded. Do you write solos out before you record them? Your solo on “High Roller” is beautifully structured. Any time Gov’t Mule is playing, I drop everything and go see Warren play. Oh, thanks! For me, it’s been a lot of Allman Brothers. On “Red River,” your guitar lines are big and bold, yet poetic. Sometimes I like fuzz and wah, but other than that, I think it’s gotta come from your hands. I try to keep it as clean and direct as possible. I think tone is in the hands – from the hand to the heart. ![]() You don’t seem to go for a lot of effects. Overall, your guitar sound is very pure and unaffected. There was one audition when they said, “You’re great, and you’re an awesome player, but we really need to hire a guy.” It was just the one time. One day I won’t have to ask this, but did you ever encounter sexism? Were there ever issues with you being a female guitarist? I just felt so grateful that I could do something that brought me so much joy. I loved talking to other musicians and playing with them. I went to open-mic nights and jams, and met everybody I could. I played with other bands for many years. I was a guitar-for-hire before Roses and Cigarettes. Were you in other bands before Roses and Cigarettes? I let things be big when they need to be, but then I bring things down and get quiet. ![]() I’m a big believer in “less is more.” I like space. I’m mindful that my guitar should tell a story. The texture of his playing and how he sounds so human – he just has that touch, you know? Then there’s Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Howlin’ Wolf, Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi. I played an acoustic for three years before I got a Strat.īlues is all over your style. They were like, “Okay, this kid needs lessons!” After that, I was off and running. I practiced all day, and the next morning I woke up my parents and played it for them. I told my mom, “I want to learn how to play that.” She figured out the chords and showed them to me. I was 10 years old and heard “Put Your Lights On” by Santana and Everlast on Supernatural. I was four years old and I saw her playing these chords. That music was playing around me from the start. She and my dad loved music and saw all the big bands – Zeppelin, Skynyrd… Everybody you can imagine. Was there a moment when you realized that you wanted to pick up the guitar?

You may not lay down parts of a Phase unless you have the complete Phase. If, during your turn, you're able to make a Phase with the cards in your hand, lay down the Phase face-up on the table before discarding. If the discard pile is started with a Wild card, it may be picked up in play like any other card. Once a Wild card has been played in a Phase, it cannot be replaced by the intended card and used elsewhere, but must remain as that card until the hand is over. You may use any number of Wild cards, but you must use at least one (1) natural card when you lay down a Phase. Wild Cards: A Wild card may be used in place of any number card, or may be used as any color, in order to complete a Phase. Important: Make certain that all played Skip cards are shuffled back into the deck at the start of the next hand. This process is described in greater detail in the "Laying Down a Phase" section. PhasesĪ Phase is a combination of cards made of sets, runs, cards of one color, or a combination of any of those. ![]() The player to the left now begins their turn. If you draw the last card from one of the Discard Piles, you must discard back into the empty section of the card tray. Once you have laid down your Phase, you may "Hit" on any of the Phases that have been laid down, including your own.Īt the end of your turn you must discard one card onto any of the three discard piles, or, if you choose, you may play a Skip card from your hand. Lay down your Phase (Each player can make only one Phase during each hand), -OR. On your turn, first draw a card either from the Draw Pile or from one of the three Discard Piles, and add it to your hand. During the first hand, everybody must try to complete Phase 1. Play starts with the player to the left of the dealer and proceeds to the left. Hold your cards so nobody else can see them. Note that the pawns stack on each other, so more than one pawn may occupy a single space at any time during play. Turn the top three cards over and place them face-up, one in each of the three other sections, to form three Discard Piles.Įveryone chooses a colored pawn and places it on the "1/Start" space on the game board. Place the rest of the deck face down in one section of the Phase 10 Card Tray to form the Draw Pile. Shuffle the deck of Phase 10 cards and deal 10 cards, face-down, to each player.

The fact that only one phase can be formed per game round and cards that are not required result in unwanted penalty points also creates tricky challenges. To do this, players move across the field to form the required card combinations - but this requires careful planning of their moves as the phase can only be completed when the token is on the required field. In Phase 10 Strategy, players decide for themselves which of the phases they can complete. ![]() We are also models and showgirls that can serve as roaming entertainment to add an extra posh element to any party aesthetic.

Brooks, but not the exact time of docking, or when the transfer of the cocaine would occur. Crash had managed to get the date, and the location of the dock to Agt. With the ability to arrive at the same time as a large shipment of cocaine arrived would enable us to prosecute with no chance of failure. The location of the Iron Crusader’s primary distribution centre was information that this investigation had been seeking for many months. The members of the inner circle of the Iron Crusaders had chosen Crash to be part of the crew who would meet the Cartel boat at the POH container site, and transport the cocaine to its distribution site. As a non-vested member of the Iron Crusaders, Crash was tasked to be involved in any activity that would expedite his membership as a Prospect. This shipment was from the Columbian Cartel, and he had been picked as part of a crew to meet this shipment.Ĭrash had been infiltrated with the Iron Crusaders for six months as part of the Phoenix Black operation. On February 20, 1993, UC Asset Designation ‘Car Crash’ – RC 99372, from here on referred to as ‘Crash’, notified DEA Officer Brooks that the Outlaw Motor Cycle Gang, Iron Crusaders, was to take possession, for distribution, of a large cocaine shipment coming into the Port of Houston. REPORT RE: CASE DEVELOPMENT / TERMINATION OF UC ASSET DESIGNATION ‘CAR CRASH’ – RC-99372 ![]() In other words, it wasn’t Rust’s fault that the deal went bad.Īnyways, here is the police report on the drug deal gone bad between the Iron Crusaders and the Columbian Cartel that resulted in Rust Cohle being shot three times and left for dead by the Iron Crusaders who got away, followed by the letter from the Attorney General of Texas: ![]() It was interesting to me to find out that the shoot out at the Port of Houston in which Rust “Car Crash” Cohle got shot three times, went bad because an undercover DEA agent on the scene was spotted by a member of the Columbian Cartel, who then opened fire. The only reference to Cohle’s personal life was made by Texas Attorney General David Smith, who said in his letter to Cohle, “I am aware of your tragic loss and subsequent divorce.” I was hoping there might be a suggestion that Rust’s daughter didn’t die after being hit by a car while riding her tricycle to perhaps save my now seemingly far-fetched theory that Rust has been looking into his daughter’s disappearance/murder from the get go. (And it does so with wonderful faux microfiche images! Kudos to the True Detective production team for giving a sh!t and making every aspect of this show, including extracurricular investigative work, sooooo much fun!) On HBO’s website for the show, they have a brief slideshow that contains the official files surrounding Rust Cohle’s undercover case against the Iron Crusaders which resulted in him being shot, as well as a letter from the Texas Attorney General after Rust shot a junkie injecting meth into his infant daughter in an attempt to “purify” her.Īs I mentioned above, there doesn’t appear to be too much revelatory information in the reports, but I think it does fill in some gaps as far as Rust’s background goes. The online True Detective detective phenomenon is so rampant (and so damned thorough!) that tossing out additional Yellow King theories and potential clue-ridden screen caps at this point seems a bit silly - and unjustifiably pretentious given my limited abilities.īut, I did run across something that not many other sites seemed to have picked up on, probably because there don’t appear to be any references to the Yellow King, groups of five men, or names that are anagrams for something seemingly significant. With HBO’s True Detective set to wrap up later tonight with its eighth and final episode, I really wanted to try to share my obsession in some form one last time. ![]() In his early career, Tucker didn’t give off the impression that he would eventually shun Hollywood. Don’t they know the drill? Don’t they know we expect more of the same thing that we liked from them, delivered at regular intervals to keep us satiated? We’re so accustomed to a certain showbiz routine - famous person releases new movie/TV show/record, promotes the thing, goes away to make another one, and the cycle repeats - that it can seem downright perverse when a performer disrupts the formula. Recording artists like D’Angelo have gone decades between albums. Dave Chappelle famously quit his popular show because he just wasn’t feeling it anymore. Sometimes, celebrities walk away from the spotlight. It remains one of the most fascinating vanishing acts of recent years. Instead, he essentially disappeared - or, more accurately, stopped being in movies. ![]() And with the Rush Hour films back in the collective consciousness thanks to them being added to Netflix, it’s a reminder that, at one point, it seemed like Tucker was going to be the next comedic superstar. But this week, there was also a brief period when a “Chris Tucker has died” rumor swirled on social media, and while it wasn’t true, it underlined the fact that the 51-year-old has spent most of the last two decades avoiding the thing that made him famous. That was eight years ago, but if you check his Twitter today, you’ll see announcements of upcoming shows, as well as the occasional shoutout to his hometown Atlanta sports teams. If you follow me on Twitter then you know.” Last year, I was all over Australia and the Middle East. ![]() “It surprises me sometimes because I’m always working,” he said in 2014. For the record, Chris Tucker hasn’t gone anywhere, although he knows that some fans think otherwise. The bottom of the lineup proceeded to load the bases with a HBP and two walks, and Mark Canha came through with an RBI single. Matt Chapman homered, his fourth dinger in the last three games, though like all the others it was solo. It started well enough, as the A’s struck first with a pair of runs in the 2nd. Unfortunately, Oakland wasn’t able to rustle up enough of it tonight. The A’s themselves have gotten better at this style of play lately, especially thanks to their newest trade acquisitions, but the Sox put on a clinic in what to strive for. But on a night when none of their hits were finding gaps or walls, and when they never strung together more than three hits in one inning, they consistently made the extra play necessary to ensure they didn’t waste their scoring opportunities. Most of those singles were well-hit, and Chicago also crushed a few loud outs, so the small-ball wasn’t for lack of quality contact. Their only extra-base hit came in the 8th, and it was a solo homer. In the 6th it was a single, a steal, a productive groundout, and a squeeze bunt. In the 5th it was a groundball single, a bunt misplayed by the A’s best defender, then a liner off the glove of that same elite defender for an RBI. In the 4th it was a two-out single, then a walk, then an RBI single. In the 3rd inning, it was a pair of singles and a deep sac fly. They never extended a rally long enough to score twice in an inning, but they still pieced together five runs. But they reached base 14 times, between 10 hits, three walks, and a HBP, and once aboard they forced more action by hustling and continuing to make contact. *** Click here to revisit tonight’s Game Thread! ***Ĭhicago didn’t rely on power, and they only went 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position. ![]() The White Sox scored in five different innings despite recording only one extra-base hit, and their bullpen shortened the game with a barrage of strikeouts, leaving the A’s on the wrong end of a 5-2 decision at Guaranteed Rate Field. ![]() Monday was everything we want to see more of from the Oakland A’s, except that it was the Chicago White Sox doing it. “In my opinion, it’s the song that defines Demi. “That’s a song that definitely will stay around, and some other artists will pick it up someday and make a cover version again,” says Gad. (Seven years later, she opened up about relapsing on another devastating piano ballad, “Sober” sadly, the single preceded an overdose in July 2018 that left Lovato hospitalized for two weeks.)Įven divorced from the period in Lovato’s career during which it was released, “Skyscraper” lives on as a blunt-force message of pop empowerment, stirring the listener to turn the garbage of their respective world into gold, as its vocalist certainly demonstrated. The latter would be a theme for former Disney and Nickelodeon stars in the years that followed, as Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas each found success unveiling their grown-up vulnerabilities for the world to see Lovato started all of that with “Skyscraper” in 2011. Yet “Skyscraper” established Lovato as both a nuanced performer with a spectacular vocal range, and a pop artist unafraid to address her personal issues head-on.ĭemi Lovato on Touring With DJ Khaled, Avoiding 'Fake' People & the Need for Brutal Honesty ![]() Unbroken also included “Give Your Heart a Break,” which became one of Lovato’s more durable radio hits and a preview of the romance-focused pop singles that would be included on future albums Demi, Confident and Tell Me You Love Me. “Skyscraper” did indeed serve as the lead single to Lovato’s 2011 album Unbroken, and hit No. “When I heard that performance, I was like, ‘This was what it always had to be.’” “It was like this song was written for her and everything that she had gone through with rehab,” says Robbins, who has also co-written hits for Jason Derulo and David Guetta. Watch music videos on your favorite apps, streaming services, and devices, including YouTube, Apple TV. It was very emotional, and the performance was just incredible.” Vevo is the worlds leading music video network. “In the session when we recorded this song, there were lots of tears. “He convinced everyone around that this would be Demi Lovato’s first single off the album, which is really unusual, because usually ballads are never for singles,” says Gad, who at that point had already scored hits with Beyoncé and Fergie. “It was going to be a bonus cut and then it fell out of the record,” Gad says, referring to Sparks’ 2009 album Battlefield.ĭemi Lovato's 10 Best Songs: Critic's PicksĪccording to Gad, the song then made its way to Jon Lind, who was serving as Lovato’s A&R rep at Hollywood Records at the time, and Lind fell in love with it. Yet the song was actually not created for Lovato: originally written by Toby Gad, Lindy Robbins and Estonian singer Kerli for the latter to use, “Skyscraper” was then passed to and recorded by Jordin Sparks. ![]() “Skyscraper” registers as devastatingly personal, especially considering the timing of its release. ![]() A piano ballad in which the notes seem to fade in and out of view, “Skyscraper” finds Lovato summoning personal strength against all odds, her voice transforming from frail to ferocious - “All my windows still are broken, but I’m standing on my feet,” she asserts, before defiantly singing on the chorus, “Go on and try to tear me down/ I will be rising from the ground/ Like a skyscraper.” Months prior to the release of “Skyscraper,” Lovato entered an inpatient treatment center she admitted to self-harming and suffering from bulimia, as well as using drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms. The film stars Dwayne Johnson ( Rampage, The Fate Of The Furious, Baywatch, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Neve Campbell, Chin Han, Roland Moller, Pablo Schreiber, Byron Mann, Hannah Quinlivan, Noah Taylor.Yet “Skyscraper” - Lovato’s first solo top 10 hit on the Hot 100 chart and a wrenching response to the most tumultuous period in the singer’s life to that point - effectively transformed the 19-year-old from a Mouse House starlet to a respected adult pop voice and prolific hitmaker.
