Home Australia/Israel Review Noted and Quoted – March 2017
Noted and Quoted – March 2017
A bit rich
The media's fixation on Australian business people's Jewish background is alive and well.
In the Australian (Feb. 10), Graham Richardson critiqued PM Malcolm Turnbull's speech that called Bill Shorten a hypocrite for attacking his wealth whilst he himself meets with "Dick Pratt and Solly Lew and Lindsay Fox and all the other billionaires… in Melbourne".
According to Richardson, "the Labor Party in Victoria has had a longstanding and extremely close relationship with the Melbourne Jewish community. That community is extremely wealthy and counts among its membership a great many billionaires."
Fox is not Jewish but apparently only wealthy Jews interest Richardson.
The Australian's "Margin Call" (Feb. 21) acknowledged PM Netanyahu's forthcoming Australian visit, saying he will "be fussed over by the local business community" with "private jets… due to fly en masse to Sydney… as prominent members of the Melbourne Jewish community mark the occasion."
The report listed a number of Jewish businessmen and women, gratuitously detailing their purported individual net worth.
In the Australian Financial Review (Feb.20), a report on former PM Kevin Rudd's backing of Bob Hawke's call to officially recognise Palestine as a state quoted Robert Magid in response, identifying him as "a BRWRich List property developer who publishes the Jewish News." (Surely it was enough to simply identify Magid as the Jewish News publisher?)
The Australian's John Lyons began his story (Feb. 23) on Netanyahu's lunch in Sydney by saying it took place "In front of six billionares" whom he later identified by name, and then added, "But somewhere among the sea of billionaires and millionaires, there was an elephant in the room. The concept of a two-state solution was barely mentioned."
Contrasting views
In the Canberra Times (Jan.19), Australians for Justice and Peace in Palestine Chairman Kevin Bray attacked the Turnbull Government's criticism of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 that condemned Israeli settlements, recognised east Jerusalem as Palestinian and held Israel entirely responsible for the ongoing conflict.
"If it were the true friend of Israel it claims to be, our government would support Resolution 2334 as an essential step along the way to the just and lasting peace that is in Israel's and Palestine's best interests," Bray wrote.
He also derided the prosecution of Israeli soldier Elor Azaria, as only proceeding because video footage caught him shooting dead a disarmed Palestinian terrorist in Hebron.
Bray tried to contrast the sympathy shown to Azaria by Israeli politicians and sections of the public with the fate of a Palestinian who was shot dead just after he had used a truck to kill four Israeli cadets on Jan. 8.
In a published response in the paper (Jan. 25), Israeli Ambassador Shmuel ben Shmuel replied that Bray "deliberately" did not use "the word terrorism because it doesn't serve his purposes. He also avoided mentioning that if an Israeli soldier does act against the IDF's strict protocols, they are held to account" and had minimised Palestinian terror as "perceived Palestinian misdemeanours."
Ben Shmuel noted that the Palestinian truck attacker had reversed over his victims, thereby forcing soldiers to kill him.
He said 2334 ignored the "issue at the heart of the conflict: Palestinian rejection of Israel's right to exist" and had emboldened the Palestinians to avoid direct negotiations in favour of imposed solutions.
"The road to peace between Jerusalem and Ramallah passes through just that – Jerusalem and Ramallah. Not the halls of the UN," he asserted.
Unbalanced on balance
The Australian's Troy Bramston (Feb. 16), who broke the news that ALP elders Gareth Evans and Bob Carr back unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, included their litany of dubious claims with no balance.
These included the questionable Palestinian demographic threat to a Jewish majority and the supposed lack of voting rights, which is a bit bizarre given the Palestinians don't seem to care that Mahmoud Abbas' term ended in 2009 and Palestinian parliamentary elections were last held in 2006.
Bizarrely, only Sky News (Feb. 16) seemed to report former PM John Howard's statement that "the idea that Australia should unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state without that resulting in an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians is fundamentally wrong… Israel has offered a settlement on a number of occasions and that has been rejected."
Ruddy unfair
Elsewhere, some in the media also felt that Kevin Rudd's recognition call required no balance.
On Feb. 17, ABC Radio "PM" host Mark Colvin discussed Rudd's call with reporter Julia Holman.
Holman noted that although the two-state resolution enjoys bipartisan support in Australia, the ALP policy is more "complex", saying, "if the next round of peace negotiations fail, then the party should consider whether or not to recognise Palestine. The key issue is… some Labor MPs are saying… there's unlikely to ever be formal peace negotiations."
There were peace talks only three years ago, ultimately terminated by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, not Netanyahu.
Colvin asked, "what's been the reaction?"
Holman ran audio from Federal Labor MP Maria Vamvakinou, Parliamentary Friends of Palestine co-convenor, backing Rudd, as the only reaction offered.
The dissenting comments of AIJAC Executive Director Colin Rubenstein, who Holman had interviewed earlier for the report, only appeared in her online article.
Fairfax correspondent Latika Bourke's verbose online report three days after Rudd's announcement also did not include any balance.
Recognising reality
Victorian Federal Labor MP Michael Danby was widely reported in the media, including ABC Radio "PM" and SBS TV "World News" (Feb. 21) rubbishing those individuals pushing for recognition, particularly Hawke and Carr, who he said on the ABC were hypocrites for being silent about the persecution of Tibetans and Uighurs when the Chinese President recently visited. In an earlier op-ed, Danby noted that former US President Bill Clinton described PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat's 2000 rejection of a Palestinian state as an "error of historic proportions," Australian (Feb. 17).
Putting things into perspective, Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Sen. Penny Wong said, "we should be focused on what we can and should do, bearing in mind we have a limited capacity to actually influence the outcome. Ultimately peace is in the hands of the parties concerned, the Israelis and the Palestinians," ABC TV "7.30" (Feb. 23).
Likewise, ALP Senator Sam Dastayari said, "In recent years, there have been atrocities in Syria, Libya, Iraq and throughout the Middle East… the Labor Party can't afford to focus on the Palestinian question at the expense of the other humanitarian challenges," Australian (Feb. 20).
While former ALP federal minister Graham Richardson erroneously claimed "Israel, on Netanyahu's watch, continues not only to build more settlements on the West Bank but to give approval to more and more of them" [Israel has of course not built any new settlements for more than 15 years, nor approved any] he correctly advised against recognition "as long as Hamas is prepared to retain its stated belief that there is no room for Jews in the area now called Israel," Australian (Feb. 23).
The Australian (Feb 24) reported "former ALP opposition leader Kim Beazley said the focus on Israel and Mr Netanyahu, who he described as a 'difficult messenger' for social democrats to bear, had effectively given the Palestinians a free pass on hard questions such as the issue of Palestinian returns and the status of east Jerusalem. 'I think they have become very comfortable with not arriving at a conclusion but with keeping the pressure on Israel,' Mr Beazley said."
Shadow Parliamentary Secretary Ed Husic backed the current ALP policy, saying, "I think we've set out a really… good framework in which this can be discussed and progressed," ABC Radio National "Drive" (Feb. 22).
Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu's visit saw Jewish pro-Palestinian activist Peter Slezak compare Palestinians to Jews in the Holocaust.
"There's a lesson we're supposed to have learnt. We say never again, but sadly I think most Jews don't understand that properly," he said.
Whatever one thinks of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, any claim that Palestinians are suffering anything remotely similar to the industrialised mass slaughter of the Holocaust simply cannot be defended either factually or morally.
Slezak should follow his own advice and "never again" repeat his immoral slur, SBS TV "World News" (Feb. 21).
Courier Mail National Affairs Editor Dennis Atkins (Feb. 22), who travelled to the West Bank with a Palestinian advocacy group, reeled off a litany of propaganda points, few of which bore any resemblance to reality.
He claimed, "the dirty little secret of Israeli politics, which everyone knows but few say out loud, is that the current government, most opposition parties and a probable majority of people like things just the way they are". Polls show that a majority of Israelis would back a Palestinian state if it meant genuine peace in return.
Atkins blamed former Israeli PM Ariel Sharon for rejecting the 2002 Arab peace initiative because it "included a return to the pre-1967 borders and a withdrawal… from all settlements."
It was rejected because its terms were non-negotiable and included what was essentially a demand for an unlimited right of return for Palestinians to what is now Israel.
He also implied Israel's security barrier was a "psychological and physical barrier", forgetting that it was reluctantly built and played a major role in reducing terror during the Second Intifada.
Atkins also erroneously claimed the portion of the West Bank under complete Palestinian self-rule is 3% – it is actually 18% – and that the area under full Israeli control is 72% – it is actually 63%.
Kenny believe it?
Another who took the Palestinian propaganda tour was Fairfax chief political correspondent Mark Kenny who claimed "the program of illegal Jewish settlements…ensur[es] with every passing day that no contiguous Palestinian state remains to be handed back."
Before pushing the argument that "even Palestinians on the ground increasingly concede that a two-state future is slipping away", Kenny should check comparative maps of the West Bank from 1993 and 2015 (tinyurl.com/hsgs6tr) which show how little settlements have expanded. The settlement population may have increased but the settlements themselves remain static; Age/Canberra Times/Sun Herald (Feb. 19).
Meanwhile, a balanced Age editorial (Feb. 20) outlined the compromises Israelis and Palestinians need to to make for peace, whilst criticising what it considered unhelpful Israeli impediments to achieving that goal.
A Borderline Case
Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan was closer to the truth of why peace is so elusive (Feb. 21), explaining on "the Golan Heights… controlled by Israel… you can hear how effective the Syrian ceasefire really is… in half an hour, there is rarely more than a few seconds between explosions… On the Lebanese border… barely a few hundred metres into Lebanese territory, is a yellow Hezbollah flag… Hezbollah is now believed to possess tens of thousands of sophisticated missiles that could hit any part of Israel… Even on one of Israel's most stable borders, with Egypt in the south, there is, in the Sinai, a big presence affiliated with Islamic State. And then in Gaza there is Hamas and Islamic Jihad… No wonder Netanyahu will talk about security."
ABC's settlements obsession
The ABC seemed to accept Palestinian propaganda is more important than facts if it reinforces the narrative that Israeli settlements have destroyed the two-state formula for peace.
Israel's announcement of 560 housing units to be built in existing neighbourhoods of east Jerusalem was discussed in an opinion piece on the ABC website (Jan. 23) by Chief Foreign Correspondent Philip Williams under the inflammatory headline, "Israeli building approvals evidence 'two-state solution' becoming fiction".
The story's credibility relied upon Palestinian propagandist Hanan Ashrawi's testimony that the new housing, particularly in Ramat Shlomo and Ramot, "would entirely surround East Jerusalem, which is occupied Palestinian Territory and would cut it off from the rest of its Palestinian environment, and would… prevent the establishment of a territorially contiguous or even viable Palestinian state."
Not only is this wrong, as a simple map will show, as pro-Palestinian media outlets the Guardian newspaper and Al-Jazeera revealed in 2011, during the 2008 peace talks negotiations in Ehud Olmert's prime ministership, Palestinian negotiators conceded Ramat Shlomo and Ramot would become part of Israel.
On Jan. 25, the announcement of a further 2,500 new housing units was reported on the ABC's website with the claim that Israel said, "most of the construction… would be in existing settlement blocs that Israel intends to keep under any future peace agreement with the Palestinians. However, a breakdown provided by the Prime Minister's office showed large portions of the planned homes would be outside existing blocs."
These so-called "large portions" amount to only 106 units, 4.41% of the total units to be built.
Myopic media
On Jan. 20 in a nine-minute cosy tête-à-tête ostensibly on the wide-ranging topic of "The Trump Administration and the Middle East", ABC Radio "Breakfast" host Hamish MacDonald and the Australian newspaper's controversial former Middle East correspondent John Lyons devoted more than eight minutes exclusively to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Despite the repeated two-state peace offers by Israel, Lyons placed the onus completely on Israel for the lack of peace, saying, "they are the powerful partner… it won't be resolved unless the Israelis are prepared to sit down and talk about it."
Lyons inferred all settlers are violent, and also said that under Netanyahu's leadership there have been "more and more settlers, more and more settlements… And so the Palestinians, many of them I speak to say, look, it's too late. The two-state solution is dead."
Contrary to Lyons' claims, there are no new settlements, while settlement boundaries have remained largely static since 2003, and cover less than 1.9 per cent of the West Bank.
Meanwhile, in a Freudian slip, MacDonald interchanged the terms settlers and Orthodox Jews.
Remarkably, for the first time ever, in a typical report skewed to emphasise alleged Palestinian suffering, Middle East correspondent Sophie McNeill offered ABC viewers an approximation of the truth about Israeli settlements, saying "actual settlements only make up between two to three per cent of the West Bank," ABC TV "7.30" (Feb 21).
Bill of fair
Israel's controversial "outposts" bill was extensively covered by the ABC, which ran two informative interviews.
ABC Radio National "Breakfast" host Fran Kelly (Feb. 10) interviewed Israel Democracy Institute's Yuval Shany, who said he supported Israel's Attorney-General's position that the law is unconstitutional.
He also explained the government's stance, noting the bill compensates Palestinian landholders and "legalises the situation" that has existed "on the ground" for many years.
Meanwhile, ABC NewsRadio (Feb.13) ran a US-sourced interview with Israeli journalist Shmuel Rosner who explained an important detail that is often overlooked in reporting on settlements.
He said, "settlements are not all of the same type. President Trump can take a position according to which some of the settlements are OK, some of the settlements can stay and can even expand. The Bush Administration and Israel did have a certain understanding that the main blocs of settlements in the West Bank are going to permanently stay within or under Israeli jurisdiction."
The ban wagon
The Trump Administration's controversial temporary ban on visas and refugees from seven Muslim majority countries saw a number of commentators point out that some of the countries listed ban Israelis from visiting.
Herald Sun columnist Rita Panahi (Feb. 1) dismissed those who argue the ban risks further radicalisation and terror, asking, "Do Israelis, banned from multiple Muslim-majority countries, turn to terror?"
According to Herald Sun columnist Tom Elliott (Feb. 3), "the violence-obsessed Islamic State has a stated aim of smuggling terrorists into Western countries via the chaos of its war in both Syria and Iraq… And most of the Muslim nations whose citizens' travel is now restricted by the US have for years banned entry… [to] Israeli passport holders."
On ABC TV "Q&A" (Feb. 6), Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg also noted the "double standards" that six of the seven countries "don't allow Israelis to ever visit."

Tagging and Flickr in particular are starting to break out. I am not sure where it will all head, but it's clearly a trend – metadata from the roots up. Check out these two new tools: Flickr Graph, which maps social networks based on Flickr, and TagSurf, which I'll just let Russell explain.
I'm still unsold on the tagging trend. In theory, it's a great idea and can work well for individual and small group use. However, building a vocabulary (with the idea of bringing "like" things together) on a large scale is a massive undertaking both in terms of the actual building, cataloging (and getting everyone to use tags correctly), and maintenance. I just spent some time with Flickr and can see a few problems ahead as this and other services grows larger and larger.
+ Spam. What happens as Flickr and other services grow larger to keep the "tag spam" out? Is something in place from keeping spammers from mistagging images into popular categories?
+ What do tags mean?
Old what? Btw, I'm noticing pictures of newborns. What's old about them?
What does this word mean as it relates to images? Where's the definition? Who decides?
Images taken by a Treo camera or images of Treos? Same thing with blogs.
They're related. How? Pop, could also mean pictures of dad!
+ Does Apple mean the food or Mr. Jobs company?
What's the difference. When I looked at each page today, one wasn't listed as a related item for the other. Why not?
++ Someone looking at colorful might also want colourful.
++ Differences between building and buildings? Many of the images with the tag "buildings" have images of just one building.
I search with two terms (bridges california) I'm going to miss all of these images of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Gary & John, I think you're completely missing the point (at least when it comes to Flickr – each implementation is it's own thing). If the idea was to ensure that every photo coming into the system was consistently and correctly tagged according to some master scheme, those would be valid complaints.
However, the idea of tags (again, in Flickr's case) is first and foremost for the benefit of the individual user, in organizing their own photos. In this regard, it works very well. The fact that it makes an interesting global collection and enables spontaneous creation of and participation in an endless number of interesting projects is a happy accident.
The global collection is, of course, quite incomplete and inconsistent – but who cares? It might irk you that there, say, are photos of the Parthenon that aren't tagged with Athens, but so what? Lots of things irk me too. It doesn't impede their use or efficacy.
I think the reason "mom" and "mother" can coexist in the system is the same reason you can use both words in real life.
I think that the source and context of each tag are going to be major factors in determining what's important in one of these systems. By "source", I mean who said it and when they said it.
Let's keep in mind that even though Flickr's implementation of tagging is still in its infancy and lacking in some ways, tagging itself isn't inherently flawed for those same reasons.
A tag is just a user's way of saying, "link this photo's to this word." It's a simple, direct way for users to build a network without having to learn some complicated syntax or GUI.

When you get the plan you may make any vital final minute modifications. Now you may have an abundance of selections to make. You have discovered the proper lot on which to construct your new home. You'd need to build the house on the rise of a hill somewhat than at its base. At the base the run off could do harm to the home. If the lot is deep and slender you do not want a shallow and broad house plan. Will quite a lot of modifications need to be made? There might be adjustments in some unspecified time in the future so as to add a garage or change the scale or form of a room is fairly simple but you had higher be prepared to pay much more for custom plans. Frequently, a slight change within the flooring plan can increase clean stream of visitors to desirable places. If you will have a stable coloration all through an open flooring plan may give you the results you want. An extra bedroom may very well be come a work out room or a family room/library.
If you're building a garage consider adding an extra bay and making that a workbench or a potting bench. The living area faces the road and the bedrooms are on the second level to the rear. All bedrooms are close to a bath. The bedrooms are above, additionally facing the road. Lots sloping from the left or proper are fitted to the side by side design. Variation quantity two, the entrance to again split level, dual master suite house plans is suited to tons which are high in front and low in the back. This model seems to be like a two story in front and a ranch in the rear. This home appears like a ranch from the entrance and a two story from the again. The third variation, the again to entrance cut up stage, requires quite a bit that's low in front and excessive in again. The split stage was conceived for the sloping or hilly lot.
The intermediate degree could even have a big foyer, mud room, or household room. The foyer, mud room, and washroom could even be located at this level depending on the format or preference. Heating may be a problem if not dealt with properly. The usage of zoned heating(separate thermostats for the various areas of the house) will often solve the heating downside. You'll have to determine this based mostly on the full sq. footage of the home. In order to determine the full house of any room you multiply the length instances the width and divide that by the full square footage of the home. The cut up degree makes efficient use of house. Again the use of patios and terraces provides to the usefulness and amplifies the attractiveness of the cut up stage. The final arrangement of the split degree separates sleeping, dwelling, and recreation on totally different levels. In a will planned arrangement the gap from the storage to the kitchen in short and direct. Generally this space is positioned at grade additionally: the sloping grade makes this arrangement doable.
The following degree up from the basement, the intermediate level, usually homes the garage and recreation space. Slightly larger than the intermediate degree is the living level. The dwelling stage is a the rear. This space is floor degree and thus lends itself to those features. The kitchen, dining room, residing room and full or half bath usually are positioned on the dwelling degree. Check the zoning legal guidelines the place you're building your house. The foyer is centrally situated and handy to all components of the house. At the highest elevation in the home is the sleeping area and bath. This design places the living space opposite the sleeping and intermediate areas. This space is the same old depth of a basement. Patios and terraces could also be attached to the recreation area which additional enhances its use. In some cases the basement will not be desired and a crawl house supplied for upkeep and ventilation. The basement ordinarily equals about forty to 60 % of the house occupied by the home.

The use of popular carols in church music had long been an accepted practice. In England carols were more often sung than played, but in France noëlsfigured prominently in the substantial French organ repertoire. The liturgy of the Midnight Mass permitted the singing and playing of these Christmas folksongs, and by Charpentier's time quite complex instrumental arrangements were commonplace. However, Charpentier's idea of basing a whole mass on these songs was completely original. Altogether there are eleven noëls, most of which are dance-like in character, reflecting the carol's secular origins. In addition to the carol melodies that he adapted to fit various parts of the mass text, Charpentier also composed new material, such as the slow sections '"Et in terra pax" at the beginning of the Gloria and "Et incarnatus est" in the Credo. It says much for the composer's craftsmanship that these quite different idioms are so seamlessly and convincingly blended together.

Nun Komm, der Heiden Heiland, BWV 62by Johann Sebastian Bach is a cantata based on Martin Luther's chorale in eight stanzas. The violins start the cantata and in the third measure, the bass line enters dramatically, but it isn't until the fourth note that the melody of the chorale tune in long note values becomes clear. The chorale melody then moves up to the oboes, and is finally sung by the sopranos. The first and last stanzas in this cantata are the original stanzas of Luther's hymn and are sung by the whole chorus. Stanzas 2 and 3 are written as a tenor solo aria. Stanzas 4 and 5 are written as a bass solo recitative and aria and a Soprano/Alto duet recitative.

Daniel Pinkham, (b. June1923, d. September 2006) studied piano as a young boy and started writing his own music at age six. He became one of the most versatile American composers although less well known among the public, perhaps because he spent his whole life in Massachusetts. He was born there, taught at Boston Conservatory, Simmons College in Boston, Harvard, the University of Boston, and the New England Conservatory. He became Music Director of Kings Chapel, Boston, in 1958 and held that office for 42 years. He studied with many musical legends including Paul Hindemith, Walter Piston, Arthur Honegger, Aaron Copland, and Samuel Barber. He studied harpsichord with Polish legend Wanda Landowska and organ with E. Power Biggs. He was a performer of note not only on harpsichord and organ, but also on piano and carillon. As a composer he not only wrote for all these instruments, but also vocalists.

Pet owners might not realize that their pet is in pain. They might think that their pet is slowing down because of age, but this is not the case. They are in pain.
No matter what the pet's age, play and activity should never stop.
One of my patients is a 10-year-old Golden Retriever named Murphy. His owners noticed him having problems getting in the car. Murphy also did not want to go upstairs with them at night anymore. They assumed that it was because Murphy was getting older and that there wasn't much that could be done.
After I had examined Murphy, it was apparent that he had arthritis in his hips. We discussed a plan to help his pain. There are many options for control of pain: oral pain relief medications, "natural" medications, cold laser therapy, acupuncture, physical rehabilitation exercises at home or at a rehabilitation center, massage therapy, diet and exercise plans. Following treatment, Murphy became more playful and engaged with his family.

Paul McCartney Got Back to Jersey's MetLife Stadium
Final gig of North American tour features plenty of music, anecdotes and a surprise guest
Last night, I saw Paul McCartney for the third and possibly last time, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. It's hard to believe six years had passed since my previous Macca concert in August 2016 at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pa. Yesterday's show marked the final gig of his 16-date North American Got Back Tour. And back he got, with more than two and a half hours of songs, anecdotes and a surprise guest.
Overall, I share the same sentiments of fellow blogger Jim from Music Enthusiast, who recently got to enjoy McCartney in Boston and posted a nice review here. Backed by his longtime touring band, McCartney delivered many great songs and had an amazing amount of energy. His voice definitely wasn't what it used to be, but I had fully anticipated that, so it didn't bother me. I was simply happy to get another opportunity to see one of my biggest heroes in music.
Paul McCartney got back. So did I, to see him for the third time.
There was a LOT of music – 40 songs, including a snippet of Jimi Hendrix's Foxey Lady at the end of Let Me Roll It, and not counting the audience's rendition of Happy Birthday to congratulate Sir Paul in advance of his imminent big occasion. Putting together a setlist that between The Beatles, Wings and Paul McCartney solo tunes reflects a massive catalog must be tricky and cannot make everybody entirely happy. Personally, I would have loved to see a few more early Beatles songs. And from Egypt Station, Paul's 17th solo album from 2018, which I feel is among his better post-Beatles efforts, Come On to Me and Fuh You wouldn't have been my picks, but enough with the silly complaining!
While based on Jim's blog and other accounts I've read Macca's song announcements and shared anecdotes didn't vary from show to show, nevertheless, this didn't feel like some routine gig to me. You could see from Macca's facial expressions that the soon-to-be 80-year-old still enjoyed performing for his fans. I mean, 'drink this all in,' to borrow one of Paul's expressions he used last night!
Waiting for Macca with cool psychedelic renderings of The Beatles
Usually, I don't "coordinate" my posts with fellow bloggers. But since I believe Jim and I have a number of common followers and given his recent review, I decided to focus on music Jim didn't highlight in his great post, so our fellow bloggers don't end up watching the same clips twice. And, as previously hinted, there is a surprise guest. Curious? Read on! 🙂
Let's kick things off with a Beatles tune from Revolver: Got to Get You Into My Life. Written by Macca and credited to him and John Lennon, the song is a nice homage to Motown. I've always dug it! The performance also prominently showcased Paul's neat horn section.
The next song I'd like to highlight is from Band on the Run, Macca's third studio release with Wings. The 1973 record remains my favorite McCartney album post-Beatles. Here's the great piano-driven Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five.
For this next tune, Macca went back, way back, to the very first song recorded in June 1958 as a demo by The Quarrymen, the group that eventually would evolve into The Beatles. In addition to Paul, John and George Harrison, the line-up featured John Lowe (piano) and Colin Hanton (drums). Sure, In Spite of All the Danger isn't as good as I Saw Her Standing There, You Can't Do That, She Loves You and other early Beatles tunes, but I still thought it was cool Paul decided to play it.
No Paul McCartney gig would be complete without some solo tunes on acoustic guitar. Here's Blackbird, off The White Album, a song I loved from the get-go when I heard it many moons ago. In fact, my great guitar teacher showed me how to play it at the time. Unfortunately, these days, I can only partially remember it. But I suppose there's always YouTube!
Next, I'd like to highlight a medley of You Never Give Me Your Money and She Came Into the Bathroom Window. During his announcement, Paul noted the North American tour marked the first time they performed this. It's hard to believe they didn't play these great tunes from Abbey Road during previous tours.
Did I mention there was a surprise? About two-thirds into the show, there was a sudden commotion in the audience. I heard people behind me speculate that Ringo Starr might be in the house. After all, Ringo had showed up at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in July 2019 where Macca wrapped his Freshen Up Tour. Well, we didn't get Ringo. Instead, Bruce Springsteen walked up on stage to a screaming audience. Here are two tunes he performed with McCartney: His own Glory Days, off the Born in the U.S.A. album, and The Beatles' I Wanna Be Your Man. For a moment, the Boss stole the show, but Macca seemed to be cool with it!
I could go on and on, but all things must pass, to borrow from the wise George Harrison. The last tune I'd like to call out is from the encore: Helter Skelter, another track from The White Album. And an impressive illustration of Sir Paul's admirable energy level two and a half hours into the gig. Any young cat musicians out there, check this out – just incredible!
I briefly mentioned Paul's excellent band in the upfront. These guys are simply top-notch musicians and Macca rightfully called them out last night: Paul "Wix" Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr. (drums). He also noted the name of his amazing horn section, but unfortunately, I did not catch it.
Last but not least, here's the setlist:
• Can't Buy Me Love (The Beatles song)
• Junior's Farm (Wings song)
• Letting Go (Wings song)
• Got to Get You Into My Life (The Beatles song)
• Come On to Me
• Let Me Roll It (Wings song) (with "Foxy Lady" outro jam)

Jimi Hendrix and Cream tribute bands Kiss The Sky and Heavy Cream recreate iconic rock history
Electric Ladyland and Wheels Of Fire have their 50th anniversaries this year – wow, that's hard to believe! The two albums were released on October 16 and August 9 in 1968 by The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream, respectively. What better way to celebrate the occasion than with an evening of great music capturing the amazing artists behind these iconic rock albums. And that's exactly what I had a chance to do last night at Monmouth University Center for the Arts' Pollak Theatre in West Long Branch, N.J. So, did I enjoy myself? You bet!
As some readers of the blog may recall, I posted about Jimi Hendrix tribute band Kiss The Sky and their amazing guitarist Jimi Bleu a month ago after I had seen an ad on Facebook. That's when I also learned about last night's gig and immediately decided to get a ticket. But before I get to Kiss The Sky, let's start with Heavy Cream. And, as you probably guessed, it's not what you may put on top of certain beverages, though the music they play surely as heck sounds sweet to me!
Heavy Cream is a tribute to the rock power trio of Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. Cream were often called the world's first successful "supergroup." Frankly, I don't care much about these labels. To me it all comes down to a simple question: Do I like the music? And when it comes to Cream, the answer is a clear 'hell yes!'
While Heavy Cream are on Facebook and ReverbNation, there is relatively limited information on this band hailing from Philly. Their usual lineup includes Billy Thoden as Eric Clapton; Dion Paci as Jack Bruce; and Steve Iannetonnt as Ginger Baker. Last night JT Curtis and John Hummel filled in for Thoden and Iannetonnt, respectively.
Let's get to some music. Due to light conditions and where I was seated, capturing the action on my smartphone was challenging, and at times the video footage is out of focus. But I still prefer using my clips to keep things more authentic. Overall, I think the came out pretty well. Here's the opener of Heavy Cream's set: White Room. Composed by Jack Bruce with lyrics by poet Pete Brown, the tune also is the first track on the Wheels Of Fire album. Note I moved to a better recording position for the other clips that follow.
In addition to tracks from Wheels Of Fire, Heavy Cream also played a few other songs, such as Badge and the set closer Sunshine Of Your Love. A Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton co-write with lyrics by Pete Brown, Sunshine Of Your Love appeared on Cream's second studio album Disraeli Gears from November 1967.
After a short intermission, Kiss The Sky hit the stage. According to his online bio, Jimy Bleu met Jimi Hendrix in 1968 as a young teenager at Warner/Reprise Records. He also was a member of the official Hendrix fan club that managed to convince Hendrix to speak at an assembly at Bleu's high school in New York City. How cool is that? The following year, Bleu attended Woodstock and got one of the guitar straps Hendrix used during his performance there. How mega-cool is that?
Bleu went on to attend Berklee College of Music, as Hendrix had recommended to him, and became a Columbia/Def Jam recording artist and accomplished session musician. He is a recognized Hendrix historian and even produced and starred in his own off-Broadway play on the life of Jimi Hendrix. Watching Bleu last night, it was obvious how closely he has studied Hendrix and that he has paid tribute to his music for more than 45 years. Not only did he perfectly adopt Hendrix's way to play right-handed guitars turned upside down and restrung for left-hand playing, but also nailed stunts like playing with his teeth, playing guitar behind his back and pointing the instrument at the audience like a gun. Frankly, to me it really felt like the maestro himself had returned!
Jimy Bleu in action
I would also like to acknowledge Bleu's excellent backing musicians. Just like him they have plenty of experience and it simply shows. Members of The Experience tribute include bassist A.J. Hager as Noel Redding and drummer Ted Edwards as Mitch Mitchell. The Band of Gypsys tribute features Jay Powerz as Billy Cox (bass) and James Jaxon as Buddy Miles (drums).
Kiss The Sky played three sets. Kicking off their show was a recreation of The Jimi Hendrix Experience's appearance at the Monterey International Pop Festival in June 1967. That legendary performance put them on the map in the U.S., which at the time already had gained popularity in the U.K. In fact, it was Paul McCartney who recommended the band to the organizers of the festival where they were introduced by The Rolling Stones' co-founding member Brian Jones. Kiss The Sky also paid homage to Band of Gypsys and the Electric Ladyland album with two separate sets.
Here's Foxey Lady from the Monterey Pop set. The song was written by Hendrix and first appeared on Are You Experienced, the debut album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience from May 1967.
Following are two other tunes from the Monterey Pop set, which was my favorite section of the show last night: Purple Haze and the closer Wild Thing. And while, yes, things got wild, I'm happy to report that no guitars were harmed in the process. As much as I understand showmanship, I always cringe when I see musicians destroy their instruments. Please don't do that – instead, give your equipment to some kid who wants to learn how to play but can't afford the gear! Written by Hendrix, Purple Haze was the opener of the U.S. edition of the Are You Experienced album. Wild Thing is a tune written by American songwriter Chip Taylor, which was made popular by English garage rock band The Troggs.
Following the Monterey Pop set, Kiss The Sky played some tunes from Band of Gypsys. Here's Machine Gun, a Hendrix Vietnam War protest jam from 1970. It appeared on their eponymous live album, their only Band of Gypys record released during Hendrix's lifetime. It appeared in March 1970, six months prior to his death.
The last song I'd like to highlight is another iconic Hendrix composition, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), the closer of the third set, which featured select tracks from Electric Ladyland.
While when it comes to tribute bands I generally care first and foremost how well they capture the music, I'd be amiss not to acknowledge how impressed I was with the close attention Kiss The Sky and Heavy Cream paid to other aspects, including the Marshall stacks and other equipment they used, as well as the outfits they wore. In addition, Bleu's visual resemblance to Hendrix is stunning. He looks like he could be his younger brother!
Based on their Facebook pages, Kiss The Sky and Heavy Cream are taking their Guitar Gods 50th Anniversary Tour next to Sellersville, Pa. on December 19, where they will perform at Sellersville Theatre & Washington House Hotel & Restaurant. If you dig Jimi Hendrix and Cream and can get there, I'd highly recommend this show. Prior to this, Hendrix fans can also see Kiss In The Sky at Cafe WHA in New York City on November 26 and THS Shrine in Tulsa, Okla.
Note: This post was updated on March 23, 2019, after Heavy Cream manager Mike Gotch kindly got back to me to answer a couple of questions I had about the band's lineup for the above gig.
