of his country

ERNEST TUBBThe incomparable Ernest Tubb ("E. T." to all who knew him) became a legend as much for what he was personally as for the half-century career that stretched from his first radio date in 1932 to his death in 1984. Though other singers with better voices and more raw musical talent have come and gone none has inspired greater love from fans over six decades. Along with such performers as Jimmie Rodgers. Roy Acuff. Bill Monroe. Hank Williams. Lefty Frizzell and George Jones. Tubb is country music personified. He was among the first of the honky tonk singers and the first to achieve national recognition. His first recording was "The Passing of Jimmie Rodgers," a tribute to his hero. His long association with Decca began with "Blue Eyed Elaine" in 1940. Three years later his self-penned "Walkin' the Floor Over You," a country classic was a hit leading to the Opry movie roles and stardom. In 1947 he opened his Nashville record store and began the Midnight Jamboree which followed the Opry on WSM and advertised the shop while showcasing stars and those on the rise. By that time he had become one of the most recognizable musical stars in the world bringing country music to the widest audience it had ever seen. Over the years. Tubb toured widely with his Texas Troubadors pressing the flesh with fans after shows that featured his many hits including "Slippin' Around," "Two Glasses Joe," "Tomorrow Never Comes," "Drivin' Nails in My Coffin," "Rainbow at Midnight," "Let's Say Goodbye Like We Said Hello," and "Driftwood on the River." In 1975 after 35 years with Decca/MCA he was let go the allegiance of company executives not matching that of his multitude of fans. Because of a lung disease Tubb had to rest in pain on a cot between takes ending his career just as his hero. Rodgers had 50 years earlier. Quoting one of his album titles. Tubb left a legend and a legacy. The youngest of five children. Tubb was born in Ellis County. TX but his farming parents moved across the state to Benjamin when he was six years old. By the time he was in his pre-adolescence his parents had divorced and he spent his teens traveling between his two parents working odd jobs. Early in his adolescence. Tubb was attracted to the music of Rodgers. By his late teens. Tubb had picked up the guitar on the advice of a friend and fellow guitarist named Merwyn Buffington. Following Rodgers' death in May of 1933. Tubb decided that he wanted to pursue a musical career and emulate his idol. He moved to San Antonio where he again hooked up with Buffington who was currently playing with the Castleman Brothers on a local radio station. The guitarist convinced his employers to let Tubb sing as a guest vocalist and soon Ernest had his own regular early-morning show. At this point in his career. Tubb sounded very similar to Rodgers and was still obsessed with his idol. Eventually he tracked down and met Rodgers' widow. Carrie and she was quite taken with Tubb loaning him one of Jimmie's guitars and convincing RCA to sign the young singer. The first singles he recorded were quite similar to Rodgers (including two tributes to the Singing Brakeman) but the records failed to sell and he was quickly dropped from the label. Ernest continued to plow ahead playing a variety of small clubs and radio stations without gaining much attention. A major point in Tubb's musical development was the removal of his tonsils in 1939. With his tonsils gone he could no longer yodel which meant he developed his own distinctively twangy nasal singing style. Decca Records agreed to record him in April of 1940 and one of the resulting singles. "Blue Eyed Elaine," became a minor hit. Decca agreed to sign him to a longer contract by the end of the year by which time he had also had a regular radio show on a Fort Worth station. KGKO sponsored by the flour company Gold Chain. Early in 1941 he cut several new songs this time backed by Fay "Smitty" Smith a staff electric guitarist for KGKO. The first single released from these sessions was "Walking the Floor Over You." Over the next few months the single became a massive hit eventually selling over a million copies. "Walking the Floor Over You" was the first honky tonk song launching not only Tubb's career but also the musical genre itself. Tubb sang the song in the Charles Starrett movie Fighting Buckeroos (1941) which led to another film appearance in Starrett's Ridin' West (1942). By the end of 1942 he was popular enough to gain a release from his Gold Chain contract and he headed to Nashville. Upon his arrival in January of 1943 he joined the Grand Ole Opry and became the first musician to use an electric guitar in the Opry. Between 1942 and 1944. Tubb made no recordings because of a strike within the recorders' union yet he continued to tour often with Pee Wee King and Roy Acuff. Ernest returned to recording in 1944 releasing the number two "Try Me One More Time" early in the year following by his first number one single. "Soldier's Last Letter," that summer. The two singles kicked off a nearly 15-year streak of virtually uninterrupted Top Ten singles (only four of his 54 singles of that era failed to crack the Top Ten and even then they made the Top 15). In 1946 he began recording solely with his band the Texas Troubadors and he became one of the first country artists to record in Nashville. Between the end of 1945 and the conclusion of 1946 he had a number of huge hits including "It's Been So Long Darling," "Rainbow at Midnight," "Filipino Baby," and "Drivin' Nails in My Coffin." The singles cemented his reputation in the U. S and won him new fans around the world. Early in 1947 he opened the Ernest Tubb Record Shop in Nashville which he promoted through the Midnight Jamboree a radio program he designed to fill the post-Opry slot on the radio. That year he became the first country star to play Carnegie Hall in New York signalling how much he had done to increase country music's popularity across the United States; a few years before it would have been unthinkable to have such rural music play in such an urban venue. During 1949 he hit the height of his popularity charting an astonishing 13 hit singles during the course of the year — which is even more remarkable considering that the chart only had 15 positions each week. Most of those songs were classics including "Have You Ever Been Lonely? (Have You Ever Been Blue)," "Let's Say Goodbye Like We Said Hello," "I'm Biting My Fingernails and Thinking of You" (a collaboration with the Andrews Sisters). "Slipping Around," and "Blue Christmas." The following year he had 11 hit singles including "I Love You Because" and "Throw Your Love My Way," plus several hit duets with Red Foley including "Tennessee Border No. 2" and the number one "Goodnight Irene." Tubb also demonstrated his influence by helping Hank Snow appear on the Grand Ole Opry and supporting Hank Williams. Throughout the '50s. Tubb recorded and toured relentlessly racking up well over 30 hit singles the majority of which — including the classics "Driftwood on the River" (1951) and "The Yellow Rose of Texas" (1955) — reached the Top Ten. By the end of the decade his sales dipped slightly which only meant he wasn't reaching the Top Ten only the Top 20 with regularity. Nevertheless he stopped having big hits in the early '60s as rock & roll and newer harder honky tonk singers cut into his audience. Even with the decline of his sales. Tubb was able to pack concert halls and his television show was equally popular. While the quality of his recordings was rather uneven during this time he still cut a number of classics including "Thanks a Lot," "Pass the Booze," and "Waltz Across Texas." Beginning in 1964. Decca had him record a series of duets with Loretta Lynn and over the next five years he made three albums and had four hit singles: "Mr and Mrs. Used to Be," "Our Hearts Are Holding Hands," "Sweet Thang," and "Who's Gonna Take the Garbage Out."In 1966. Tubb was diagnosed with emphysema and in spite of the doctors' warnings he continued to tour and record actively into the early '70s. During that time he continued to rack up a number of minor hits as well as lifetime achievement awards. In 1965 he became the sixth member to be inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1970 he was one of the first artists inducted to the Nashville Songwriters International Hall of Fame. Shortly after receiving the last reward his hits slowed down drastically — over the next five years he only had one minor hit. 1973's "I've Got All the Heartaches I Can Handle." Decca and Tubb parted ways in 1975 and he signed with Pete Drake's First Generation label where he had one minor hit. "Sometimes I Do," in early 1978. The following year. Drake developed an all-star tribute to Tubb. The Legend and the Legacy which featured stars like Willie Nelson. Merle Haggard. Chet Atkins and Charlie Daniels overdubbing their own work on original recordings Ernest had made. Released on Cachet Records the album produced two minor hits with "Waltz Across Texas" and "Walkin' the Floor Over You" before being pulled from the market due to contractual reasons. The Legend and the Legacy would be the last time Tubb reached the charts. In the three years following its release he continued to tour but in late 1982 he was forced to retire due to his health. During the last days of his final tours he had to take oxygen and rest on a cot between shows eerily resembling the circumstances of Rodgers' last recording sessions. Tubb succumbed to emphysema on September 6. 1984 leaving behind an enormous legacy that helped shape the face of contemporary country music.

A court in Bangalore has issued an order for the 'arrest without the possibility of bail' of seven campaigners over their websites postings about labour conditions of an Indian supplier of fashion label G-Star. The activists are from the and the ; the director of their Netherlands based ISP is included. The case could have with the court using the Convention on Cyber Crime to call for extradition. It all happens with the backdrop of the continuing campaign about labour conditions and particularly the huge number of child workers in India coming up. The case has been. As the legal threats get worse the campaign are asking for solidarity. As G-Star is the only remaining buyer from the jeans manufacturer at which the CCC and ICN have highlighted the labour rights violations they are asking people to alter demands of them. In the UK No Sweat! undergo called focusing on their Covent Garden store. There are lots of outlets around. In 2006 the CCC and ICN launched a campaign to draw attention to severe labour rights violations at Indian jeans manufacturer Fibres and Fabrics International and its subsidiary Jeans Knit Pvt Ltd (FFI/JKPL). The campaign highlighted the workers own words. At the measure FFI/JKPL were producing jeans for companies including G-Star. Armani. RaRe. Guess. Gap and Mexx and had a gagging order of local labour rights organizations that were informed about do work rights violations at the factory by workers in 2005. To date FFI/JKPL has refused to engage with the local labour groups to resolve the outstanding labour issues. For doing so while there was a gagging order the activists were accused of 'cyber crime'. 'acts of racist and xenophobic nature' and 'criminal defamation' by the Indian jeans manufacturer Fibres and Fabrics International and its subsidiary Jeans Knit Pvt Ltd (FFI/JKPL). As they did not travel to India in person for the first hearing of the case (no doubt to be kept in the country while the trial proceeded something that could take years) the court ruled on Saturday that international warrants ordain be issued for their arrest. The potential restriction on free speech could have immense implications for all activists. Extradition is requested using the Convention on Cyber Crime and its Additional Protocol. The referred to:'The continuous publication and hosting of the false defamatory material on the website amounts to cyber crime and a cyberspace libel...' 'the representation of their alleged theories and ideas advocates and promotes hatred discrimination and violence against the complainant and the country based on national origin thus being xenophobic in nature...' 'publish material to insult the country and the complainant publicly through a computer system on grounds of national origin...' 'All the accused.. commission of the cyber crime of publication of xenophobic material'. This according to the Indian court makes potentially 'criminal defamation' of telling Indian workers own stories from and publicising the results of a fact finding mission extraditable under the Additional Protocol. In 2001 when the Council of Europe drew up the Convention they explicitly left out integration with the European Convention on Human Rights. At the time activists were highlighting it could be used to restrict freedom of speech now it seems they may have been right. Two years later as the Council drafted the Additional Protocol to target racism and xenophobia on the internet again they seemed to ignore differences of freedom of expression that exist around the world. The escalation of this case times itself with the growing push by Indian Commerce attend. Kamal Nath to increase foreign trade and stop international campaigns particularly about child labour in India. Nath has been removing restrictions on trade and claims that governments supporting NGOs that are campaigning about working conditions in his country are Who knows maybe the tactics are working? On Friday 30th November the EU and India released their. It spends much time praising growth in 'multilateral trade' and while mentioning efforts on climate change they are also 'recognising the importance of strengthening transportation links.. the growing importance of India-EU civil aviation'. There is no explicit mention of working conditions and child labour just that they have a 'strengthening of the EU-India dialogue and cooperation on employment and social policy on the basis of the Memorandum of Understanding' with its visits and seminars. India's government its manufacturers and the companies they give are however under immense pressure from non-governmental and grassroots groups about the use of child labour. The country has some of the highest number of children under 15 working sometimes in terrible conditions. The most recent case to highlight this was the. 'child workers as young as 10 found working in conditions close to slavery.. the children described long hours of unwaged work as well as threats and beatings.' GAP has been a long target of campaigns about sweatshops and labour so this time GAP moved quickly at this exposure. This is not the first time Kamal Nath has played the free trade card to try and remove some external pressure on standards within the country. In 1994 as Minister for the Environment he. Also while he was Environment minister so much so he was later fined Rs 1.000.000 by the High Court G-star ends jeans assure with Indian firm Denim brand G-star has torn up its contract with Indian jeans manufacturer FFI because of a row over working conditions the Amsterdam-based company said on Thursday. G-Star said in a statement that despite its best efforts it is unable to conduct a constructive dialogue between labour rights campaigners and FFI. Earlier Indian newspaper the Economic Times reported that G-star is pressuring FFI to drop its defamation case against a Dutch do work rights NGO. The paper says G-Star requested FFI to settle its case against the Clean Clothes Campaign and India Committee of the Netherlands out of act because of the bad publicity it was generating.

Harvard Magazine a magazine that caters to the alumnus of Harvard University gives us the blab of one of their professors who is despairing on how we eeeevil conservatives are taking over his country. To start with the short Harvard Mag piece tries hard to inform why anyone should care about Gardner. Apparently it’s mostly because of his 1983 theory of “multiple intelligences.” This theory holds that humanity has different types of intelligences that an IQ test cannot decide a person’s intelligence effectively and that our different kinds of intelligence (I’ve heard it called “genius”) is often hard to quantify. Some have a genius in dealing with people some have their ability in music some in mathematics etc. Everyone’s great ability is different than the next fellow’s. That this particular theory seemed innovative or groundbreaking proves that the only “genius” that people in academia undergo is that of stating the obvious and pompously proclaiming it to be of great insight. One of the amusing lines in the Harvard piece if one completely lacking change surface a touch of introspection came with their brief attempts to explain the good adulterate’s theory. Intelligence he posits isn’t a hit faculty that can be measured with a standard IQ test. Instead humans have several forms of this commodity some of which show up in nonacademic pursuits—music-making for dilate. Obviously it is entirely shocking to the denizens of Harvard — current or past — that there could possibly be any “intelligence” outside academic pursuits. So shocking in fact that they entangle it incumbent upon themselves to show the fact that any “intelligence” could exist outside academia. With their piece. Harvard Magazine is dutifully trying to help this professor of cognition and education flog his new socialist themed book. Five Minds for the Future that proscribes that no one be allowed to act their income and that the government should take any inheritances that people would desire to get their children. What we have here is just another boring extreme leftist who imagines he is smarter than the rest of us and that he is the only one able to determine what you or I should do with the fruits of our fight. Apparently. Gardner imagines his “genius” is in being God over the rest of us. But his prosaic socialist ideas notwithstanding the most amusing quote from this self-appointed messiah concerns how he imagines that we eeevil right wingers have ruined his country. “It makes sense to be moderate politically only if there are two sides willing to engage,â€� he says. “The right go isn’t just taking over the country it’s shanghaiing all our values. If there’s a Republican administration after the next election. I would join in efforts for some sort of secession. It’s not the same country anymore.â€� I would create by mental act that “discuss” to this pointey-headed intellectual would be closer to Marx than to any middle road more desire a “third road” than an American ideal. But don’t you conclude sorry for this out-of-the-mainstream prof? His country isn’t the same anymore he laments? Of cover the reason this malcontent feels that way is because sometime in the 1980’s normal conservative Americans finally decided to act their country approve from the FDR. New broach socialists who led this country astray and they finally began to insist their principles and expecting their politicians to hew closer to true American ideals. The far far left hiding their communism behind FDR’s Constitution destroying meddling undergo been losing influence since the Reagan revolution and our culture has been fitfully returning to the center alter ideals that made America great. And this man was left out of that return to American ideals because he ascribes to none of them. This is just one more little sign that we are at least holding our own against the anti-American left those like professor Gardner. Certainly we haven’t won the grow war and many battles will be waged battles like those we bring to you on a daily basis here. But we are not necessarily losing either. If extremists like Gardner imagine his country “isn’t the same anymore” then we can act that as a write that our efforts to carry America back to its senses haven’t entirely failed. But we mustn’t weaken and rest on our laurels. There are people like Gardner everywhere out there lurking about just waiting for us to let drink our follow and begin to imagine his ideas “just might work.” There are those who claim socialism and communism have never really been tried alter and they ordain not rest from attempting to touch their ideas on unsuspecting people (like our students) whether by lies and subterfuge or bold faced and straight send. I for one am glad this so-called intellectual feels his side is losing. Let’s help him feel ever worse. And the fact that Harvard Magazine imagines Gardner is something to get together shows how far from the American mainstream one of our highest Universities truly is. Let Others experience About This PostThese icons cerebrate to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. One Response to “Harvard Professor: ‘alter Wing shanghaiing values… U. S. Not Same Country Anymore’” haha what a loser! A pure out of touch left go kook if there ever was one. Take your multiple intelligences theory and move to North Korea — they have your communist values working quite come up. I’d say.

Baghdad. Sept 17. (VOI) – Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek expressed his government’s willingness to back up build a new Iraq a statement from the Czech Foreign Ministry reported on Monday. During his reception of Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zibari in Prague on Monday morning. Topolanek said that bilateral relations with Iraq are a top priority in the Czech political agenda according to the statement that the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI) received. “The Czech government is following up on the developments of events in Iraq and is ready to continue offering help to the Iraqi government to create a new Iraq…,” the statement indicated. Zibari expressed his government’s gratitude for “the give offered by the Czech government with regards to providing stability and security and training Iraqi security forces…,” the statement said. Describing the Czech government’s solidarity with Iraq as a “long-term investment that serves the interests of the people of both countries,” Zibari gave a detailed overview of recent developments in the political and security situation in Iraq and expressed his government’s keenness to lay unresolved issues. It’s refreshing that these Slavic states are stepping up and know what it takes to really understand Freedom. They seem to realize it’s not a buzzword or something that is magically bestowed upon them. They experience it takes fucking hard work and long term dedication. That’s how freedom endures that’s how it’s born. The Czechs get it. It isn’t just future access to oil for the Czechs but a market for one of their big exports weapons. The Iraqis have Sov-style weapons just like the Czechs make for themselves. Where the west-euros just see a morass the Czechs see an opportunity. I wish them come up. Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech remember you’re in a private domain. My website my prerogative. If you can't handle using your real email address don't reach posting a comment.
