![]() * Peter Gabriel completes his US tour after Florida concerts tonight (in Orlando) and tomorrow (in Miami). He thinks for a moment and offers another quotation: "The door that locks you in is the door that lets you out." If you're willing to work at it, you have a chance of moving on." ![]() "Giving yourself permission to be what you are anyway can be very difficult but very liberating. In some cultures, masks are used to externalize feelings," he says. "I consider that a healthy part of growing up. How does he feel about his former persona, who literally wore masks when he performed on stage? Gabriel raises an eyebrow and smiles. "I had more confidence in what I was doing this time," Gabriel says. In "Us," he bares his soul, "the darkness in his heart," as he says in one song. Personal feelings were handled abstractly. Musically, evidence of Gabriel's internal changes are contained in "Us." Although his previous work was intelligent, moving, and compassionate, Gabriel kept his inner feelings in the background, revealing emotions mostly by adopting characters in songs. In September, not long after his solo tour ends, Gabriel will embark on a brief WOMAD tour. WOMAD nearly collapsed for lack of financing, but now a series of concerts has been organized to raise funds. Last year he turned his attention to WOMAD, (the World of Arts, Music and Dance), Gabriel's 13-year old organization dedicated to promoting third-world artists. He recorded "Passion," an instrumental-only soundtrack for Martin Scorcese's film "The Last Temptation of Christ." He started the Real World label, which recorded third-world musicians, and he released a "best of" collection, "Shaking the Tree," in 1990. "Some of them saw me on the Mandela benefit show, and they got quite a shock."ĭuring this period, Gabriel continued to work on music projects. "The rest knew me as Peter, a musician," he says with a smile. Only one person in Gabriel's group therapy recognized him as a rock star. I know that if I accept my patterned programming, then I have the possibility of changing it." I've spent the past years trying to get conscious of the inner tapes that have been passed down from generation to generation. "Change is much harder than we think," he says. Dressed in a blue work shirt and jeans, Gabriel speaks with the calm of someone who has confronted his fears and emerged stronger. But he was still an eccentric cult artist until the 1986 release of "So." The album's hit singles, the funky "Sledgehammer," and the ironic "Big Time," along with innovative videos, elevated Gabriel to an international pop star.īut Gabriel's greatest metamorphosis has been the internal journey of the past few years, he says. As a solo artist, his music took on African and Middle Eastern influences, an emphasis on rhythm and a stark musical aesthetic. ![]() Gabriel has changed dramatically since he wrote musically dense, story songs with Genesis. "It was clear, when looking at this body of work - which I had never done before - that one theme dominated," he says. To put the tour together, Gabriel was forced to examine the course of his music since he left the progressive art-rock band Genesis in the mid 1970s. "The show is meant to be visual information, not spectacle." "I hate to use the word theatrical, because that's not really what it is," Gabriel says. Video cameras, an assortment of props, and an international band help bridge Gabriel's strikingly diverse subject matter - from the political-social song "Biko" to the painful self-reflections of "Washing of the Water," a song from the current album. Two stages, joined by a motorized walkway are meant to signify polarities: male-female and public-personal. The show, designed by respected Canadian director Robert Lepage, is an attempt to visually represent the meaning and spirit of Gabriel's music. Gabriel's most personal yet, and the ensuing world tour he has brought to the United States this summer. One part of his recovery involved making the 1992 album, "Us," Mr. The depth of their meaning became clear when the breakup of his 20-year marriage and a subsequent failed romance sent the British pop star into an emotional tailspin. SITTING in a hotel suite, his gray hair offsetting alert blue eyes, Peter Gabriel says he mulled those words over many times in the past seven years. `The last thing a man will let go is his suffering.'

It's hard to imagine the Come Dine With Me narrator demanding payments and talking tough when we are now used to his witty sarcastic nature.

It’s euphoric and sad at the same time, and it’s also proof-positive that Kanye feels the same way about Jay that the rest of us do. But I like it even better when Kanye lets up on the chest-puffed ambition and lets us know what he knows he’ll never become. ![]() There’s a bit on “The Glory” where Kanye talks about himself in a similar torrent of images: “The glory, the story, the chain, the Polo / The night, the grind, the empty bottles of No-Doz,” and it’s great. And this one moment near the end where Kanye just lets loose with this iconic stuff humanizes all the shit-talk that came before it on this song. “Big Brother” is my favorite song on Graduation by far by taking the focus off Kanye and putting it on someone who Kanye wants to emulate but knows he can never equal, it humanizes all the shit-talking that came before it. And what comes out is a disconnected parade of images, delivered in an awe-choked hush: “A idol in my eyes, god of the game / Heart of the city, Roc-A-Fella chain / Never be the same, never be another / Number-one Young Hov, also my big brother.” It’s the lyrical equivalent of Kanye cutting out magazine pictures of Jay and glue-sticking them to the front of his Trapper Keeper. The music fades back on Kanye’s conflicted and occasionally passive-aggressive tribute to Jay-Z so he can half-eloquently, half-intuitively say why exactly he and the rest of us care about Jay in the first place. Kanye’s absolutely not a great rapper, but he’s great at piecing together these insidious little musical scraps that work their way into your bloodstream without necessarily letting you understand what’s happening. Piecing this together, what really strikes me is that all these moments are tactile musical things, not punchlines or lyrical epiphanies. And for whatever reason, I’m doing it right now for Graduation. I could’ve written entries about my ten favorite moments on Return of the Mac or Underground Kingz, two albums I like at least as much as Graduation, but for whatever reason I never did. Graduation isn’t even my favorite rap album of the year, but something about it keeps drawing me back in. ![]() Still, I don’t regret the purchase one iota, though I’d be hard-pressed to justify why exactly. As far as I can tell, I bought the album so I could participate in the PR-driven bragging-rights cold-war between two self-aggrandizing millionaire asshole Universal Music Group employees, which probably isn’t a smart use of my money when my wedding is less than a month away and I need to hold onto every penny. And there’s no golden ticket in the CD packaging, just a poster-sized version of the album’s garish, ugly cover-art and a booklet full of credit-information that I probably could’ve found on Wikipedia anyway. I’ve already downloaded the thing twice, in its clean and unclean forms. ![]() I’m not entirely sure why I felt compelled to drop $9.99 plus tax on Graduation at Best Buy this morning. Poet Cyndi Celeste summed up the mood when she said: “Today, after successive governments have tried and failed to rekindle the flame, we finally raised the flag of a nation no longer clinging to colonial coat tails for its identity. He listed the ways he would “remain deeply committed to this very special country”, highlighting the ongoing efforts of his Prince’s Trust International charity in supporting Barbados’s young people and his work with their government on issues like climate change.ĭuring the ceremony, the culture, history and achievements of Barbados were celebrated with music, dance and spoken word, and a number of poets and activists criticised the colonial past of the island nation and called for it to embrace the opportunities of becoming a republic. Charles gave a speech during the ceremony (Jonathan Brady/PA) The Prince of Wales represented the UK at the televised open-air ceremony that saw Barbados swear in its new president, and in a speech he was warmly acknowledged by the guests when he told the new republic: “I shall always consider myself a friend of Barbados.”Ĭharles’s speech was a positive message, as if written for a close acquittance, harbouring no regret at the decision taken by the Barbadian leaders, and it also acknowledged Britain’s role in the “appalling atrocity of slavery”. The celebrity went on to have a string of global hits with Umbrella, SOS and Diamonds before reinventing herself as a business mastermind, now estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Rihanna added: “I have travelled the world and received several awards and recognitions but nothing, nothing compares to being recognised in the soil that you grew in.”īorn Robyn Rihanna Fenty in Bridgetown, Barbados, in 1988, she moved to the US in 2005 to pursue a career in music. ![]() “This is still the only place I’ve ever called home – I love Barbados, I love you guys and I pray that the youth continue to push Barbados forward.” Rihanna, centre, attends the ceremony that saw Barbados become a republic (Jonathan Brady/PA) I’m going to be a Bajan to the day I die. ![]() ![]() Later in the day, Rihanna received her honour and said it was a moment “that I will never, ever forget” and she paid tribute to her fellow Bajans.įollowing the presentation, the singer told guests: “You all are the true heroes of Barbados and I take you all with me wherever I go – I’m so proud to be a Bajan. Rihanna, who flew back to Barbados for the event, touched her heart as she was praised by Ms Mottley, who quoted the singer’s own lyrics as she said: “May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring honour to your nation by your words, by your actions and to do credit wherever you shall go.” During the ceremony staged just after midnight, local time, applause rang out in National Heroes Square in the capital Bridgetown, when Dame Sandra was sworn in by chief justice Sir Marston Gibson and announced as “Her Excellency Dame Sandra Prunella Mason President of Barbados”. There is strong circumstantial evidence that the Sant Smajh, both through the patronage of the Alkali Dal Party headed by Parksah Singh Badal as well as direct contacts through the Nirmala Sampardas, has in recent decades been building close ties to the BJP and RSS. It is even alleged that this could be linked to attempts by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing Hindu nationalist movement with close links to the ruling BJP to incorporate the Sikh Panth into the Hindutva project. It can be inferred from these contradictions that Bhai Ranjit Singh and his troubles are part of a much greater political game. Harnam Singh Dhumma (seated on the ground) with Parkash Singh Badal (seated on chair), with Sukhbir Singh Badal looking on – Photo: SikhSiyasat ![]() ![]() Hence, it is difficult to understand what yard stick is been used to claim Bhai Ranjit Singh is engaged in ‘anti-Panthic’ preaching! Indeed, a further irony is that Bhai Ranjit Singh has consistently declared his total allegiance to the very same Sikh Rehit Maryada. It is worth noting here that almost all of the groups aligned to the Sant Smajh (Society of Saints), led by Damdami Taksal (Mehta) head Baba Harnam Singh Dhumma, who have been pushing for Bhai Ranjit Singh to be excommunicated, explicitly reject the official Akaal Takht ‘Sikh Rehit Maryada’ or ‘Sikh Code of Conduct’. Given the blatant interference of the major political parties in Sikh Panthic affairs, it would be reasonable to assume that the current fallout between Bhai Ranjit Singh Dhadriawala and the SGPC-appointed Akaal Takht Acting Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh is not simply a matter of theological differences, but political patronage. After all, give or take the odd truly enlightened soul, even religious preachers are human and therefore vulnerable to the allure of the ego. SEE ALSO: Akal Takht v Dhadrianwale: Who’s at fault?Īlleged doctrinal differences can also function to obscure other motives, namely, a toxic concoction of personal enmity and/or desire for power, money and influence. It can also lead to the emergence of new institutions, sects and religions, often led by the excommunicated person/s. When this happens, more often than not, such conflicts are accompanied by some form of excommunication of the weaker faction by the more powerful incumbents. However, very occasionally fundamental differences can emerge resulting in divergences up to and including complete schisms. On the whole successful institutions are those that are able to tolerate a degree of flexibility and/or have well developed mechanisms for dispute resolution and arbitration. ![]() Accordingly, it can be assumed that the concept of excommunication or ‘ kharj‘ or ‘ shake deyna‘ is one that is a product, not of Sikh philosophy as enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib, but of the various power struggles that emerge within institutionalized Sikhism in the post Guru period.Īll institutions, small and large, secular or religious, are prone to differing viewpoints and schools of thought. ![]() Though there are instances of individuals being banished during the Guru period - such as Guru Nanak shunning his son Sri Chand, Guru Arjan shunning his brother Prithi Chand and also Dhir Mal and Ram Rai being disowned by his father Guru Harrai Ji - by and large excommunication was very rare during the Guru period, whose strategy was always to avoid conflict but to engage in dialogue or ’ samvaad’ as a way to win hearts and minds. Rowling sends their way (but you might want to go with them to the more mature movies).
