    Alanis Morissette Announces "Jagged Little Pill" Musical -





    Alanis Morissette has announced a new stage musical based around her 1995 breakout album Jagged Little Pill.

    Written by Diablo Cody (Juno) and headed by Tony Award-winning director Diane Paulus, the stage production will feature songs from the album, as well as deeper cuts from the singer's discography.



    Speaking about the project Morissette said: "This team that has come together for this Jagged Little Pill musical is my musical theater dream come true. The chemistry between all of us is crackling and I feel honored to be diving into these songs again, surrounded by all of this searing talent. Diablo and Diane are already taking these deeply personal songs that are part of my soul's marrow to a whole other level of hope, freedom and complexity."



    The musical has been in development since 2013, and is set to debut at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA, in May of 2018.



    In 1995 Jagged Little Pill was a formative album for many teenagers and a cathartic sing-along soundtrack for many adults at the time. Hits like "You Oughta Know," "Ironic" and "Hand In My Pocket" continue to be benchmark tracks for Morissette, and continue in heavy radio rotation around the world.



    Feminist perspectives, heartbreak, inner-strength and dark wit seem timeless, and will surely offer opportunities for communal singing in just twelve months.

    Gilbert Baker, Rainbow Flag Creator, Dead at 65

    Image
    Gilbert Baker, an artist and activist credited with creating the LGBT community's iconic rainbow flag, died Thursday night in his sleep at his home in New York City. He was 65. Baker, who taught himself how to sew after leaving the Army, had the idea to create the first rainbow flag as a symbol to unite San Francisco's LGBT community; other rejected symbols included a pink triangle and the Greek letter Lambda, San Francisco Gate reports. "I decided that we should have a flag, that a flag fit us as a symbol, that we are a people, a tribe if you will," Baker said at the Museum of Modern Art in 2015. "And flags are about proclaiming power, so it's very appropriate." The flag made its debut at the 1978 Gay Freedom Day Parade as an eight-colored banner, with each color representing a certain meaning: sexuality (pink), life (red), healing (Orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), art (turquoise), harmony (indigo) and the human spirit (violet). The fla...

    Image
    The Allman Brothers Band will release an eight-disc set comprising songs from their sold-out, three-night run at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in September 2004. At the time they were touring on what would turn out to be their final studio album, Hittin' the Note . The Fox Box will feature a remastered audio mix and tighter song spacing than the versions that were released at the time and were made available during subsequent shows and through their internet mail order program. "Dreams" is the only song that is repeated from the 53 tracks in the box set. It appears three times, however a different guitar soloist – Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Jack Pearson – is featured in each instance.

Guitarist Jack Pearson, who was in the band from 1997 to 1999, was a special guest. ...

    NBA Playoffs: Draymond’s elite defense in Warriors' Game 1 shows his all-time caliber

    Image
    The elite players throughout NBA history are legends because they were able to do things no one else could do. Magic Johnson's vision at his size. Michael Jordan's incomparable will and shot-making. Stephen Curry's ability to shoot off the dribble at percentages never before believed possible. Dennis Rodman's uncanny ability to always find the ball. Shaquille O'Neal's physical dominance.  To be among the best to ever do something in the NBA, it has to be built upon something that sets you apart, not just a precision, but a specific combination of style and play that defines you as an all-time great.  Draymond Green is in the process of making his case as one of the all-time best defenders in NBA history.  "He played a game that I'm not sure anybody else in the league is capable of, honestly. Who else can do what Draymond just did tonight?"  Steve Kerr after Draymond  It's supremely easy to call that an overreaction or a hot take in the ...
