The Latest from Popbitch w/ending 16th October

You’ve got to feel for Volodymyr Zelenskyy. One minute he’s a successful comedian, winning Ukraine’s version of Strictly and starring as a teacher who becomes president in a TV satire. The next, as life imitates art, he wins the actual presidency and gets propelled into a never-ending war of attrition.
You’d think that would be enough weirdness for one life. But no, on his trip out of Kyiv this week to rally support in London, unimaginable horrors awaited. Not only was he forced to go on Piers Morgan’s YouTube show, but was accompanied throughout the visit to News UK by gruesome twosome Rebekah Brooks and Tony Gallagher.
Weirdly, Zelenskyy wasn’t whisked through the Baby Shard to the private lift that Rupert Murdoch uses.
Onlookers were therefore treated to the bizarre sight of the wartime President of Ukraine standing around waiting for his elevator next to another visiting celebrity ... Alice Cooper.

The limb centre of Tony Iommi’s local hospital used to send him prosthetic arms so he could snip off the fingers to make tips for the bits of fingers he lost in a pre-Black Sabbath industrial accident.

Born to an African-American mother and a Filipino father on 16th Oct, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York, Sugar Pie DeSanto is a veteran blues and R&B singer and songwriter. Sister of Domingo Balinton, Sugar Pie grew up in SF, California. Among her childhood friends was a girl named Jamesetta Hawkins, who would later become famous as Etta James. They were friends who eventually explored the music world together.In the 1950s & 60s, she toured with both Johnny Otis and James Brown, collaborated with Etta James, married Alvin Parham, (a.k.a. Pee Wee Kingsley), and changed her name to Peylia Parham. After the divorce from Parham, she moved to Chicago, where she kept on recording successfully and writing songs for other artists, often along with Shena DeMell.In 1960, her single “I Want to Know”, reached number four on Billboard’s Hot R&B chart. She recorded the song with her husband, Pee Wee Kingsley. Soon after their marriage ended DeSanto moved to Chicago and signed with Chess Records in 1962 as a recording artist and writer. Among her recordings for Chess were “Slip-in Mules” (an “answer song” to “Hi-Heel Sneakers”), “Use What You Got”, “Soulful Dress” (her biggest hit for Chess), and “I Don’t Wanna Fuss”.She was given a Bay Area Music Award in 1999 for Best Female Blues Singer.

Kevin Moby - Parade
might sign off with this wonderful song . . . .
I think the one truly great thing about American TV series is that so many seem to have brilliant people choosing how to fit music around the narrative and I am thinking Netflix series I have seen Prodigal Son (with our Martin Sheen, Stranger Things and Breaking Bad but also the quiet er ones like The Good Doctor which featured this and if you get the “parade” you’ll get it!
😉
and therefore as is my won’t here’s a live version
