Remember, Debbie Reynolds was so much more than just Carrieâs mom. She was a beautiful, amazing, wickedly funny woman in her own right. She loved her daughter and she made her daughter who she was, but it is a disservice to her memory to shrink her down to just being Carrieâs mom.
Also, because it needs to be said, Debbie was a huge supporter of the mentally ill. She helped found The Thalians, a mental health charity in 1955 and served as chairwoman for the organization for fifty-six years. She was an amazing woman and will be missed.
He left this world with an amazing number of profound songs. Don't go for the easy one.
Cohenâs death, at age 82, was announced on Thursday night, and âAnthemâ isnât the song he will be most remembered by â though its lyrics are certainly a salve. No, Leonard Cohen is now eternally joined to âHallelujah,â his 1984 pop hymn dusted off in 1991 by John Cale, immortalized by Jeff Buckley in 1994, then recorded by almost literally everybody else â Newsweekâs Zach Schonfeld ranked the Top 60 versions of the song, and that was almost two years ago. There are hundreds more. âHallelujahâ was reprised so often that Cohen once half-jokingly called for a moratorium on new recordings of it. No one person can claim the song anymore.
Still, this song is, more than any of his other work, Cohenâs gift to the world. Bob Dylan saw the beauty in âHallelujahâ even before Cohen recorded it, David Remnick recounts in his New Yorker profile of Cohen published last month, and Dylan toured with the song in the late â80s before Cale reforged it into its current shape.
It really is a great song, but there are better ones to play as you remember and mourn this giant of poetry married to music, the sacred commingled with the profane.
the absolute strangest part of Straight Cultureâą is the widespread idea that men and women canât be friends and itâs so offensive to me?? like this idea that a man canât possibly enjoy a womanâs company unless theyâre Banging and Romancing is not only grossly heteronormative, itâs also quite frankly misogynist and i for one am extremely tired
