To the boys who put the funk in Motown
A good friend of mine recommended this cut to me for Friday Travelin’ Music. It features Joan Osborne performing an old Motown hit with the Funk Brothers, the legendary group of session players who played background for almost all of the hits from Motown’s golden era, from 1959 until the label left Detroit for the glitter of Los Angeles in 1972.
The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, the Supremes, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Stevie Wonder — the brothers funked it up for all of them. Ms. Osborne has the pipes to live up to that heritage in this cut.

I must say, I always found it strange that they called themselves the “Funk Brothers”. Motown was anything BUT “funky”..for the most part. Motown was definitely soulful, smooth, laid back. Funk? FUNK??

Krystal, @6:40. I agree, But even still (Steven Stills?) I think there has to be musical decimation, before there can be musical rebirth.
i.e., the nineteen sixties/seventies will probably only come around once every few centuries. Like Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt did. Or maybe the parabola curve of more rapid human learning and humanness (?) means every 100 years or less now. Whatever, I sorely wish that I could be around for the next musical epiphany…

Back in the day, unless you saw them perform you didn’t know what the hell color somebody was, their religious or sexual persuasion, what part of the country they were from, or their political persuasion. It just wasn’t something you even thought about, and you didn’t care. All you knew was that they had a message and musical vibe that hit you square in the gut and you entered into an entirely beautiful mental space. Whoever you were around became a part of your world and you a part of theirs, for a moment…and gripes and differences often took a back seat.

All hail James Jamerson, the most influential bass player of all time (and most stolen from by the best). A truly tragic figure and rarely-noted genius.
The movie about the Funk Brothers, “Standing in the Shadows of Motown”, is an extension of the book by the same name, which was a tribute to Jamerson’s life and influence. There is tribute after tribute in the book from other musicians, particularly bass players; just a few to mention: Paul McCartney, Bob Babbitt (Jamerson’s recently departed successor), Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, John Entwistle, Geddy Lee, and so on.

Bob Woodword maybe the last real Journalist in America.
Obama’s sequester deal-changer
By Bob Woodward, Friday, February 22, 5:59 PM
Bob Woodward (woodwardb@washpost.com) is an associate editor of The Post. His latest book is “The Price of Politics.” Evelyn M. Duffy contributed to this column.
Misunderstanding, misstatements and all the classic contortions of partisan message management surround the sequester, the term for the $85 billion in ugly and largely irrational federal spending cuts set by law to begin Friday.
What is the non-budget wonk to make of this? Who is responsible? What really happened?
The finger-pointing began during the third presidential debate last fall, on Oct. 22, when President Obama blamed Congress. “The sequester is not something that I’ve proposed,” Obama said. “It is something that Congress has proposed.”
The White House chief of staff at the time, Jack Lew, who had been budget director during the negotiations that set up the sequester in 2011, backed up the president two days later.
“There was an insistence on the part of Republicans in Congress for there to be some automatic trigger,” Lew said while campaigning in Florida. It “was very much rooted in the Republican congressional insistence that there be an automatic measure.”
The president and Lew had this wrong. My extensive reporting for my book “The Price of Politics” shows that the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors — probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.
Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.
Nabors has told others that they checked with the president before going to see Reid. A mandatory sequester was the only action-forcing mechanism they could devise. Nabors has said, “We didn’t actually think it would be that hard to convince them” — Reid and the Republicans — to adopt the sequester. “It really was the only thing we had. There was not a lot of other options left on the table.”
A majority of Republicans did vote for the Budget Control Act that summer, which included the sequester. Key Republican staffers said they didn’t even initially know what a sequester was — because the concept stemmed from the budget wars of the 1980s, when they were not in government.
At the Feb. 13 Senate Finance Committee hearing on Lew’s nomination to become Treasury secretary, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) asked Lew about the account in my book: “Woodward credits you with originating the plan for sequestration. Was he right or wrong?”
“It’s a little more complicated than that,” Lew responded, “and even in his account, it was a little more complicated than that. We were in a negotiation where the failure would have meant the default of the government of the United States.”
“Did you make the suggestion?” Burr asked.
“Well, what I did was said that with all other options closed, we needed to look for an option where we could agree on how to resolve our differences. And we went back to the 1984 plan that Senator [Phil] Gramm and Senator [Warren] Rudman worked on and said that that would be a basis for having a consequence that would be so unacceptable to everyone that we would be able to get action.”
In other words, yes.
But then Burr asked about the president’s statement during the presidential debate, that the Republicans originated it.
Lew, being a good lawyer and a loyal presidential adviser, then shifted to denial mode: “Senator, the demand for an enforcement mechanism was not something that the administration was pushing at that moment.”
That statement was not accurate.
On Tuesday, Obama appeared at the White House with a group of police officers and firefighters to denounce the sequester as a “meat-cleaver approach” that would jeopardize military readiness and investments in education, energy and readiness. He also said it would cost jobs. But, the president said, the substitute would have to include new revenue through tax reform.
At noon that same day, White House press secretary Jay Carney shifted position and accepted sequester paternity.
“The sequester was something that was discussed,” Carney said. Walking back the earlier statements, he added carefully, “and as has been reported, it was an idea that the White House put forward.”
This was an acknowledgment that the president and Lew had been wrong.
Why does this matter?
First, months of White House dissembling further eroded any semblance of trust between Obama and congressional Republicans. (The Republicans are by no means blameless and have had their own episodes of denial and bald-faced message management.)
Second, Lew testified during his confirmation hearing that the Republicans would not go along with new revenue in the portion of the deficit-reduction plan that became the sequester. Reinforcing Lew’s point, a senior White House official said Friday, “The sequester was an option we were forced to take because the Republicans would not do tax increases.”
In fact, the final deal reached between Vice President Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in 2011 included an agreement that there would be no tax increases in the sequester in exchange for what the president was insisting on: an agreement that the nation’s debt ceiling would be increased for 18 months, so Obama would not have to go through another such negotiation in 2012, when he was running for reelection.
So when the president asks that a substitute for the sequester include not just spending cuts but also new revenue, he is moving the goal posts. His call for a balanced approach is reasonable, and he makes a strong case that those in the top income brackets could and should pay more. But that was not the deal he made.

Anyhow, it’s too bad FNM has to come to a end—all because some hotshot decided every AJC blog had to use the new fancy-smancy format. All I got to say is, the folks that want to push this format aside don’t understand what a great time we had with it. Matter of fact, I think I’ll order a couple more PBRs here at Billy Bob’s and drink to the good times. Have a great weekend everybody.

Well, all you youngsters out there, imagine it’s 1957 and you’re plumb wore out with tunes by orchestras. Your daddy has let you borrow the family car and you turn on the radio. And this No. 1 hit comes on:

It’s hard to beleive Marty Robbins has been dead for 31 years. Most of us remember him for his El Paso songs and “Devil Woman.” But it was “White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation” that put him on the music map. Later a bad ticker did him in.
Long as we’re recalling the past, let’s remember a great one—and a great race car driver to boot.

Yeah I caught that game too. Barça is favored to go all the way to the final, but they got a hill to climb for the return leg at their home,Camp Nou. They need to score 3 goals without giving one up in order to advance.
The other great match up is Man U v. Real Madrid. 1-1 going into the second leg.

Isn’t ironic that speaking of the funk in Motown that Detroit is really in a big world of funk and desperation is occurring.

Pink stripe on NC illegal immigrant licenses eyed
February 23rd, 2013
8:22 am
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A new North Carolina driver’s license set to be issued to some illegal immigrants has a bright pink stripe and the bold words “NO LAWFUL STATUS,” raising concerns about whether the design will brand those who show it.
The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles announced last week they would begin issuing the licenses March 25 following a lengthy legal review. The Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program grants valid federal work permits to qualified applicants brought to the U.S. as children without legal authorization.
Some Republican lawmakers in the state have balked at the idea, filing a bill Thursday to bar the DMV from granting the licenses until at least June.
Cinthia Marroquin, a 22-year-old Raleigh resident awaiting approval for a DACA permit, said the longer the license issue is delayed, the longer it will take for her to get a job and drive herself to work. Even if she is able to get one, she is worried about presenting a license declaring she has “NO LAWFUL STATUS” at a police roadblock or while writing a check at the grocery store.
“A lot of us are just scared,” said Marroquin, who came to the U.S. from Mexico when she was 15. “We just want to be able to get a job and drive to work. Having that license is just going to show everybody you’re here illegally, just buying a beer or writing a check. You don’t know how people might react.”

If that is your experience it can only be explained by isolation and ignorance.
Become informed, treat people decently, appreciate what the organizations you excoriate via sound bites have done for you, respect others – as in saving your animus for the other six and a half days of the week, and not at the ONLY time where it is discouraged on this forum – and I suspect that you will then stop seeing yourself in everyone else.
And Fred is correct; you act uncivil, but require it of others. It is my experience that life does not work that way.
FNM is a huge success because we will not let you and others pollute it.
