Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton worked together on an album for the first time in 1987. Years before this, though, Harris was growing to be a big fan of Parton. She praised her voice and writing, noting that she could imbue her work with powerful emotions. Harris pointed to one song in particular that nearly brought tears to her eyes. She said it was so good that it almost wasn’t fair.
Emmylou Harris said a Dolly Parton song nearly made her weep
In the early days of Parton’s career, Harris spent so much time publicly praising her that Parton joked she should pay her for the good press.
“I just think she’s a marvelous writer,” Harris said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “I mean, if nothing else, she’s a marvelous writer, and an incredible singer, but then she’s also amazing because of the way...

When the Hell’s Paradise anime dropped in April 2023, no one knew that the anime was going to become one of the Dark Trio anime series, along with the likes of Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man. Yuji Kaku, the creator of the series, was actually one of the editors for Chainsaw Man, and now his own series is being compared to Tatsuki Fujimoto’s magnum opus.
Hell’s Paradise

In 1976, Dolly Parton spread her wings in the entertainment industry and began to host a television show. While it wasn’t always a perfect experience — she didn’t always feel that producers’ visions aligned with hers — she was incredibly proud of one episode. She worked so well with her guests that she went on to record an album with them.
Dolly Parton was very proud of an episode of her television show
Parton hosted the variety show Dolly in 1976 and 1977. Two of her early guests were Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. She felt nothing but pride for the way they gelled on the episode.

“I did manage to do one show, however, that I will always be proud of. It is probably the best half-hour of television I ever did,” she wrote in her book Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business.

The original Star Wars trilogy was one of the shining examples of groundbreaking films of the 70s and 80s that changed cinema forever. The film series introduced audiences to a galaxy far, far away, and featured visuals and sci-fi narratives that have never been done before up to that point. The franchise also saw the origins of characters that have now become iconic characters.

“I might be heart broke, but that don’t mean I gotta stay home,” sings Runaway June’s Naomi Cooke in the country trio’s sprightly hit single “Buy My Own Drinks,” obliterating any expectations that she might be the type to waste time crying over someone. Cooke, along with singing partners Hannah Mulholland and Jennifer Wayne (the granddaughter of the Duke himself) are bound to get some Dixie Chicks comparisons with their brand of harmony-drenched country-pop, but their debut album Blue Roses offers plenty to distinguish them from that multi-Platinum trio.

Today being international jazz day, there will be much celebrating of the greatness of its history. I’ve done that in the past; it is a great history. But it is not all back in historical times; jazz lives, and evolves, and continues to be great. Yet how many lists of the greatest jazz albums include anything from the current century?
That they do not is no indictment of them; only sixteen percent of the years when recorded jazz has existed (not counting the present year yet) are in the twenty-first century, after all, and some prefer to bestow the label of greatness after more perspective has been achieved than sixteen (or fewer, for newer releases) years.
Nonetheless, if people are to respect jazz as a living art form, a look back at the best of its more recent releases seems worthwhile. Here’s one man’s “baker’s dozen...

Director Ken Annakin.
I knew there was something familiar about the name when I read it: "Deborah Annakin-Peters." I had been corresponding with Debby via email for nearly a year after she had started working for Home Video Publicity at Paramount, and handled all my DVD requests. Then one day it struck me. I wrote her a quick email: "Are you, by chance, related to the director Ken Annakin?" I got a quick reply "Sure am. He's my dad!" It just happened that Annakin's most famous film, "The Longest Day," was getting a special edition DVD release from 20th Century Fox in a few weeks. I asked Debby if her father, then in his early 90s, was up to doing an interview. The answer to that question lies in the conversation below.
