I was there. It was amazing and breathtaking. When are you going to do a Vegas Sphere show? It would be so cool!!!

I was there, in San Francisco, when all the band entered through the audience with lights on your heads.

You doing those things, like having a procession of you and other artists march up center of Philadelphia spectrum while playing a song are so memorable even ~40 years later.

Always have and always will love Peter Gabriel. My kids are going to play Solsbury Hill at my funeral as it is the song they most associate with me. A bit morbid but the truth!

PG is among the elite performers ever, then and now. The I/O tour was absolutely incredible too.

It worked great in Boston! I was lucky to be part of it. Memorable, to say the least.

Talk about a leap of faith! 3X in 1982 3X in 1983, that was one thing. But at the Coliseum Arena in Oakland in 1986 it was very brave. And I remember at the amnesty show at the Coliseum Stadium in 88, Peter only had his pants by the time he made it back to the stage.

"Lay Your Hands on Me" es una de mis canciónes preferidas. Ojalá yo hubiera estado allí. Genio.

On this day, 41 years ago, Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" (1985) was released in the United Kingdom. Terry Gilliam on how he dreamt up 'Brazil' (1985): "1984 was approaching and I thought it was time to do the cautionary tale, to do 1984 for 1984. I haven't actually read Orwell. But, I mean, I know the book. It was more Kafka than Orwell I was thinking of; the atmosphere of Kafka intrigues me more, the inability to get hold of this thing that seems to be controlling or determining your life. It was interesting that the thing ended up being as close to the story of 1984, because I didn't plan it that way. It just seemed to be close to the natural course of events. I had a script that no one was interested in giving me any money for, So I wrote 'Time Bandits' with Michael [Palin], and after the success of that, people said, "Well, now you can really do all sorts of things." They were saying I ought to do something like a follow-up, that it would work well to do another romp. And I figured it was time to do the one that no one would give me any money for."

Asked Jayson Tatum if it was ever tempting to wait until next season, knowing that he could shake off the rust behind closed doors rather than in public. Thought his answer was super thoughtful: "It was a range of emotions, of things I was dealing with and contemplating and thinking about. Obviously, physically getting cleared by everybody. And, lot of it had to do with where the team was at, and never wanting to take moments in a season for granted, just thinking like, ‘Oh, we’ll be good next year.’ It's like, I've been in the league a long time, I've been fortunate to be on a lot of really good teams. And you never want to take for granted opportunity to be on the team that's contending for a championship. I had never had basketball taken away from me, so I always — I never took the game for granted, but as you can imagine, how much I missed playing basketball. The little kid inside me, that that's all I wanted to do my entire life. So, when I was cleared and got the opportunity, it was a lot of people I talked to to make the decision, knowing that I wasn't going to be perfect when I first came on the floor, but showing my teammates that I was willing to fight through it, and give it my all. And even though I wouldn't be as in-rhythm or in condition at first, I knew it was going to take some time, but I wanted to be out there with him, I was gonna do whatever it took.”

Jerry Seinfeld says he turned down $110,000,000 for one more season of Seinfeld “I could have gotten more than that. The love affair between the people making the show and the audience was so intense. It was so white hot. I had to respect that. I could not go to that point where it starts to age and wither. It doesn't take long” “For example, you go see a comedian. At an hour and 10 minutes, you love the guy. At an hour and 30 minutes, it's like, ‘I thought he was never going to finish.’ And you walk out with a whole different feeling. It's a small amount of too much” “We had this wonderful, intense love affair between the people making the show and the audience, and I wanted it to end with a fireworks burst. It never was bad”

G-Dragon opens up about the 2023 drug controversy: “I didn’t want to hold a press conference and ramble on about my position, it was painful, and when I thought of it as just a process, the fact that I had to endure it felt suffocating, I started wondering if making a comeback was really the right thing to do, maybe I should rest more or even retire and just live as a regular person, but honestly I didn’t think there was any real reason to do that, I thought I should just be grateful that it all passed, but I kept thinking if it really passed or if I just forced my way out of it, that thought stayed with me for a few months, the only thing I could really turn to was music, around that time I had already started preparing for the album, and as I wrote based on everything I’d experienced, I ended up choosing POWER as the first track, it felt like a song that said I’ve found my owner.”

"In 'Zodiac' (2007), I wanted the audience to feel like they went through the ringer with these guys,(...) in retrospect you look at it & say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them." --- David Fincher Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: It’s so rare to walk out of a movie and to feel like I know more about a subject than I did walking into it. Watching Zodiac is like the experience of reading a really absorbing non-fiction book, and I know that part of it for you was about honoring the people who were the victims of the Zodiac, but you also have so many details, so many facts, you take it to such a level where there’s so much information… why was that important to you? Fincher: I don’t respect movies that treat me like I don’t have the attention span or mental faculty to follow… it’s one thing to talk about Dave Toschi’s fall from grace in an oblique and generic way. I can answer that question in a couple of different ways. I wanted the movie to take its toll on the audience, I wanted the audience to feel like they went through it, like they went through the ringer with these guys, and I didn’t know how to do that because these guys didn’t run across rooftops and fall off fire escapes. In their quest to bring the Zodiac to justice they followed the trail of breadcrumbs as far as it would take them, and they kept pushing and kept pushing when there were crackpots coming out of the woodwork. I felt like I didn’t want to make one of those movies where you do montage/montage/montage and you get the idea that they went to the mat with this, that it took its toll – I wanted the audience to feel that. You know, in retrospect you look at it and say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them. I felt like anything less than that would be doing the story and people involved a disservice. You could do it as something compressed, where you get the gist of it, and we would have shots of Jake [Gyllenhaal] half asleep and you would have those obligatory shots where the boss says, ‘You look like sh!t.’ And in the end I still don’t feel like you get enough of what happens with his family, we don’t get enough with his wife and kids, but it was all we could do to get it in at under two hours and forty minutes. I feel like we took about as much time as you can really expect an audience to sit still for and we tried to make them feel what it was like to be invested in this circuitous run down the rabbit hole." (David Fincher's interview with Devin Farachi, 2008)

Peter Thiel’s advice to his younger self: "Value substance over status.” One of the resolutions I came up with a number of years ago was to always value substance over status, substance over prestige. And if I was giving my younger self advice on what to do or how to think about one's life, I probably would still go to Stanford, might still go to law school. But I'd ask a lot more questions: why I was doing these things? Too much of it was driven by prestige and status, and not quite enough about really the substance of trying to learn things. I sort of think of it as this sort of crazy rolling quarter life crisis, and a sort of culmination in this big New York law firm where from the outside everybody wanted to get in, from the inside everybody wanted to get out. I lasted seven months and three days. And when I left, one of the people down the hall said, it's so reassuring to see you leave, Peter. I had no idea it was possible to escape from Alcatraz. And all you had to do was go through the front door. But people's identities get so wrapped up in the things they compete for that it was inconceivable for people to actually do that. And then the question was, how had I ended up there? Why had I not thought about that more? And I think it was that I had taken too many of these shortcuts of valuing what was prestigious, what was conventional, over what I really wanted to do. So I think always substance over status.

Tony Hinchcliffe on how being contrarian created Kill Tony: Everybody was telling me to do a podcast, but I wanted to show how crazy an open mic can be. “I just built the show that I wanted to do.” “You know, I was very lucky early on at The Comedy Store to get to host the open mics there, which are three minute long sets on Sundays and Mondays with 40 comedians in a row doing three minutes, three minutes, three minutes, three minutes.” “And I would go up after each comedian did three minutes and make fun of them and every once in a while afterwards, go up to them personally and say, 'Hey, you know, if you took a breath sometimes, or used pauses, or sped up, or got the mic close to your mouth,' little advice here and there, and me and my friends would always have so much fun sitting in the back of the room watching these open mics and the things that we would whisper into each other's ears, I thought were so funny.” “We'd be in the back of the room, sometimes we'd be the only people laughing at the open mic because of what we're saying to each other.” “And I thought to myself during this time in which everyone was saying, 'Tony, you have to do a podcast, you gotta do a podcast, everyone has a podcast,’ it was completely unheard of at the time, but I thought, why not show how crazy an open mic can be?” “And the ideas that me and whatever comedian buddies were sitting next to me, if we shared what we were laughing about with the people, I think it could be a hit.” “And even the co-host Redban at the time goes, 'Wait, what? Who the f*** is gonna wanna watch an open mic?' And I kind of thought everybody would. Turns out, it worked out pretty well.” Tony Hinchcliffe @jason Thanks to OKX for making this happen! OKX:

“So originally, Paint by Numbers was like track one of the album. And at that time, the album was very different. It was like sonically sounding very different. It was like very introspective. I think I was really starting to feel like, you know, I think I loved the idea of opening the album with, oh, what a gift it is to be noticed, but it's nothing to do with me. I just loved, I was like so dedicated to that being the opening line. And I felt so like powerful in a lot of ways to be able to acknowledge that it's not really about me, you know. I mean the opening, the whole opening of the song is, oh, what a gift is to be noticed, but it's nothing to do with me.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

⭐️: When we sang Choose (at BST), I went up for the first time to sing and I really wanted to take a picture. I even thought about asking the staff for my phone so I could take a picture. I seriously debated it a lot. That’s how beautiful it was, it almost felt too much just to take with my own eyes. It was a really happy moment. I think it might have been the best festival I’ve been to recently. And I’ve been thinking this since the concerts, when I look at the audience I wonder, “Will a moment like this come to me again?” So I try to sink into that moment. Honestly, sometimes doing the same stage over and over can be tiring, but when I finish the performance and look at the audience during the goodbyes, when I look at ATINY’s faces, the Lightinys and all the lights, they all feel so precious #SEONGHWA #성화

Glenn Beck just honored Charlie Kirk in the most powerful way yet...by placing Rush Limbaugh’s golden microphone on the Charlie Kirk Show desk. The mic was a gift from Rush’s widow to Glenn Beck. And now, it sits in front of Charlie’s microphone. Beck then shared a story he had never told before...one he deeply regrets not telling Charlie in person. “I want to share a story…that I’ve never shared before and I so regret that we ran out of time.” “It’s a story that I had hoped to tell Charlie myself in the next couple of months.” “When I first met Charlie…and this is the kind of guy he was…he was so gracious, when I first met him, he was young.” “And I said, so, what do you want to do? What is it you want? What? What do you want to do?” “So gracious, he said, I want to be you. I want to do what you do.” “Let me translate: I want to be Rush Limbaugh. He didn’t want to be me. He wanted to be Rush Limbaugh. He wanted to be one of the, as Rush said, radio’s greatest of all time.” “And I remember thinking, well, kid, maybe someday because I think you have it.” “I brought something with me today that I thought was appropriate while I did the show, that I would sit in front of Charlie’s microphone. It was given to me after the death of Rush Limbaugh by his wife.” “It is Rush’s golden microphone.” “I think it’s appropriate that it sits in front of Charlie’s microphone.” “What I would have said to Charlie was, you were thinking too small.” “I want to be Rush Limbaugh someday.” “I’m a broadcaster. Rush was a broadcaster, but Charlie was a broadcaster and a narrowcaster.” “Charlie was a pastor and a priest.” “And listening to the way he could argue and think differently, he was a rabbi as well, and one of the best.” “He was a political organizer.” “He was a political think tank himself.” “He was a compassionate friend.” “He surpassed Rush Limbaugh…by miles.”

Jay talked about struggling with his voice because of a cold during Blood Saga: 🐈‍⬛: it wasn’t an easy 3 days. I thought I wouldn’t be able to sing. Every morning I’d wake up thinking “I don’t think I can sing”. But once it’s time for the show, about 10 minutes before going on stage, I’d think “Maybe I can do this”? And once it’s over, it was just “I used up my voice. What do I do on tomorrow?” on repeat. Somehow I managed to sing. It’s crazy.

#Seungmin on As We Are 🥺🤍 🐶 the song As We Are is a song about the journey that led me to be standing on this dominATE stage now, which being put in one single song. Everyone goes through difficult times, everyone has their own breakthrough phase, same goes to me, as well as you who are listening to this song, we are not all that different, like no matter what happens, slowly, lets get through it together and that's the hopeful content along with the comfort which I tried to put into the song. Usually, when the image of cliff crosses our mind, we would think about the pre-falling moment or maybe something very precarious , so for the first verse lyrics, i mentioned about wanting to potray the struggles to get through things , just right before falling and it connected well with cliff. I think it was a part where the stage set expressed the vulnerability of me very well. I am so so thankful of the video PD as they managed to perfectly express the vibes of the song , the meaning of what i wanted to say through the lyrics & the overall story structure with the background visuals (back source) , hence i was able to pour all my despair into singing at first then later when the clouds and the panorama unfolded, it gave me even more strength to sing. 🐶i have shown the sides of me playing guitar from time to time since in the past, though my skill was a bit clumsy , but for this tour, i made up my mind that i would definitely play a guitar while singing so i traveled far away to seek a guitar myself , and i really went through a lot of trial and error as well as the preparation along the way, Its really beyond my expectation how there were so many people that helped me out and through their help, it seems like the stage became a meaningful & deep one It feels like i gained another ability.

Would you consider granting clemency or a pardon to Hunter Biden? Trump: I don't think it's appropriate for me to talk about it. I think it's a tragic story. You want to know the truth? And I felt that with Hillary Clinton, too. You know, with Hillary Clinton, I could have done things to her that would have made your head spin. I thought it was a very bad thing. Take the wife of a president of the United States and put her in jail. And then I see the way they treat me. That's the way it goes. But I was very protective of her. Nobody would understand that, but I was. I think my people understand it. They used to say, lock her up. Lock her up. And I'd say, just relax, please. We won the election. I think it would be very. I think it would have been horrible for our country.

(long clip & transcription ‼️) 🎭: if i was asked one year ago if i wanted to perform in Concerto, i would've said no. there was a different kind of event that i was asked if i would like to participate and i actually said no to it. because up until recently like a few months ago, i had extremely bad imposter syndrome. 🎭: i didn't feel like i deserved to stand on stage, i didn't feel like i was ready and i kept doubting myself and was like "there's no way i would be able to perform to people's standards and stuff" so i politely declined being in an event a long time ago. 🎭: this time for Concerto when i was asked to participate, i was thinking of the same thing too but i thought about it a little more. i thought to myself like "if you're not gonna participate now then when are you going to do it? if you keep saying no to all these opportunities, they're all going to slip past." so i keep telling myself, "if you're gonna do it now then when are you going to do it?" 🎭: and i was inspired a little by my recent short covers and dance covers because ive been planning to release them for quite a long time actually. just the thought of that made me think, "i'm trying to work so hard on these other things so why don't i just try to do this as well?" 🎭: so i finally decided that i'm going to try this time to step up on stage and i want to be the proof to everyone that works hard that if you work hard eventually something good will come your way 🎭: i want everyone to be able to look at me and be like, "if he can work hard and do what he wants to do, then i can do it too." i think that's one of the biggest reasons i decided to participate and stand on this stage is because i want to inspire people because i came from nothing 🎭: i had no singing experience, no dancing experience, no japanese experience. when i first joined, i didn't even know how to read hiragana very well. i didn't even know wtf katakana was 🎭: i'm always thankful for the love and support everyone gives me. if it wasn't for you guys, i would really have said no so thank you. i really owe everything to all of you that always around and always supporting #knoxclips thank you for not giving up!!!! 😭🧡

“The last time that we were touring and stuff, I think touring is quite an isolating experience. And on top of that, when we started touring, it was 2021, so it was kind of like still depths of the pandemic. We were like one of the first tours to go back out. So I think that tour started in that way where it was like, I was really bubbled up even kind of within the tour. And then staying on that tour, we put an album out and it ended up being like two and a half years type time. It's just a long time to be in like a bubble where you're not really spending that much time like in the world around you, other than shows and hotels and stuff. And when I finished, I kind of went off and was spending a lot of time in Italy, and was kind of like having this quiet time, and I was just feeling a lot of my life as I was kind of like, craving like quiet and kind of like private spaces. I was just feeling myself kind of like shut out a lot of the world, “I think, and I think the last couple of years for me was about, you know, there's a lot of things that I think I got used to saying no to, like invites from friends and like maybe a weekend trip or like a birthday party or something. I think I just got used to, you know, if I have a week at home, I don't want to go somewhere else for three days. I just want to stay home, you know. And I think when I got to Italy and was kind of out in this quiet place, I felt like, okay, if I'm going to spend all this time out here and I'm going to keep saying no to everything, I'm just going to like shut myself off from the world. And while parts of that sound appealing, I also like, I love people and I love like being in the world, you know, so it was kind of, I think for me, like there's been both the thing of like learning to set boundaries and stuff is a large part of that has also been learning when not to set boundaries and when to open up. Being intentional with the things that you don't do and being intentional with the things that you do do. So, you know, as a message in the album sleeve, where I said like thanks to all the people who helped me know when to say no and when to say yes. I think both of those have like greatly enriched my life.” - Harry about feeling isolated during his last tour and opening himself up to the world again on Q
