The Overrated Endorsement (Prospect)

This morning on Fox and Friends, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley endorsed
Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination ahead of his weekend
visit to the state:

As an aside, it’s telling that the Fox hosts _joke_ about offering the
endorsement to Jon Huntsman; it’s a sign of how much he doesn’t appeal to
Republican primary voters, despite his conservative record.

It’s easy to play up Haley’s endorsement as a game changer in the South
Carolina primary, especially given her Tea Party credentials. “It doesn’t hurt
to have it[Haley’s endorsement], and it can help build momentum,” says LaDonna
Riggs, chair of the Spartanburg County Republican Party, “For people who like
him and who would want to vote for him, it lends some credence.”

On the other hand, Haley is among the most unpopular governors in the country,
with an approval rating of 34.6 percent among all South Carolinians, and a
52.5 percent one among Republicans, an awful low in a state dominated by the
party. Her tenure in the Palmetto State has been marked by a whole host of
ethics scandals—including accusations of pay-for-play in staffing state
agencies—and she’s made her fair share of enemies with ...

Mississippi John Hurt Music Light T-Shirt by CafePress From th 1994 Cummings series, The Musicians, inspired by The Blues...

Mississippi John Hurt [With CD] $17.65 The Early Masters of American Blues series provides the unique opportunity to study the true roots of modern blues. Stefan Grossman, noted roots-blues guitarist and musicologist, has compiled this fascinating collection of 26 songs legendary blues guitarist Mississippi John Hurt. In addition to Stefan's expert transcriptions, the book includes a CD containing the John Hurt's original recordings so you can hear the music as it was originally performed. Mississippi John Hurt had a fascinating career, originally recording a handful of songs in the late 1920s, and, after disappearing for nearly 30 years, being rediscovered by a new generation of musicians that included Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Stephen Sills. Found in 1963 living in a small town in Mississippi, by an admirer who tracked him down through the lyrics of his 1928 single "Avalon Blues," Mississippi John Hurt was persuaded to go to Washington, D.C. and start a new career. He spent the next three years performing and recording for a whole new group of fans. In addition to transcribing all the songs in this collection, Stefan Grossman was also a student of John Hurt.

Mississippi John Hurt $35 When Mississippi John Hurt (1892-1966) was "rediscovered" by blues revivalists in 1963, his musicianship and recordings transformed popular notions of prewar country blues. At seventy-one he moved to Washington, D.C., from Avalon, Mississippi, and became a live-wire connection to a powerful, authentic past. His intricate and lively style made him the most sought after musician among the many talents the revival brought to light. Mississippi John Hurt provides this legendary creator's life story for the first time. Biographer Philip Ratcliffe traces Hurt's roots to the moment his mother Mary Jane McCain and his father Isom Hurt were freed from slavery. Anecdotes from Hurt's childhood and teenage years include the destiny-making moment when his mother purchased his first guitar for $1.50 when he was only nine years old. Stories from his neighbors and friends, from both of his wives, and from his extended family round out the community picture of Avalon. U.S. census records, Hurt's first marriage record in 1916, images of his first autographed LP record, and excerpts from personal letters written in his own hand provide treasures for fans. Ratcliffe details Hurt's musical influences and the origins of his style and repertoire. The author also relates numerous stories from the time of his success, drawing on published sources and many hours of interviews with people who knew Hurt well, including the late Jerry Ricks, Pat Sky, Stefan Grossman and Max Ochs, Dick Spottswood, and the late Mike Stewart. In addition, some of the last photographs taken of the legendary musician are featured for the first time in Mississippi John Hurt .

Do They Hurt? $14.99 Personnel: John Goodsall (guitar); Peter Robinson (keyboards, sythesizer); Robin Lumley (piano, keyboards); Percy Jones, John Giblin (bass); Phil Collins, Mike Clarke (drums); Morris Pert (percussion).To many, Brand X was either a source of great inspiration or great consternation. Either way, the band was never boring. With DO THEY HURT? Brand X further explores the far reaches of musical experimentation to create their unique fusion. The core members of bassist Percy Jones and guitarist John Goodsall are present, with drummer Mike Clark replacing Phil Collins on most tracks. Also making only a brief appearance, having been mostly replaced by Peter Robinson, is original keyboardist Robin Lumley.As usual, the music herein is often of a bizarre, if not downright weird, nature, yet not without its own intriguing charm and nuance. Odd time signatures, unexpected turns, and unique sounds pepper the music with a characteristically avant-garde flair. The one exception would be the most radio-friendly cut, "Act of Will," which, save for its robotic vocal sound, could have fit right into the early '80s pop charts. The rest of the works are an adventure in exploration, always developing into something new and unexpected.

It Don't Hurt $12.99 It's been said one of the virtues of country music is that it doesn't shy away from adult concerns and responsibilities, but as Nashville has commanded a larger market share in recent decades, many major artists have found that the shallower and more simplistic their music, the better it sells. Thankfully, Lisa O'Kane shows there's still some room in contemporary country for a woman who can sing about life and love from the perspective of someone who has seen a bit of what the world has to offer and can share her thoughts with unpretentious wisdom. O'Kane wrote four of the 11 songs on It Don't Hurt, her third album and first major-label release, and "Ain't Done Nothin'," "Pay for My Sins," and "I'm Done" are all tales of busted romances sung from the perspective of a woman who walked away from relationships gone bad, and O'Kane can sound strong and vulnerable at the same time, cursing the lesson and blessing the knowledge in song. O'Kane and producer Edward Tree have also chosen some fine tunes from other writers, such as the title tune's chronicle of a life of pain, John Prine's splendid "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness," "Paper Thin"'s melancholy sage of a marriage that's failed, and the resilient tale of "Got the Car Running." As good as the material is, the real attractions are O'Kane's rich, clear voice and her ability to tell great, heartfelt stories with it; she can sound feisty or stricken with longing at will, and there's a spring in her step that belies the hurt that often comes her way in these songs, aided immeasurably by Tree's sympathetic production and a crack session band. There's a lot of recognizable real life in It Don't Hurt, and Lisa O'Kane doesn't pull any punches, but she also finds some honest beauty in these songs, and this album is a moving and beautifully crafted set of home truths worth investigating. ~ Mark Deming

The protagonist of Apex Hides the Hurt is a nomenclature consultant. If you want just the right name for your new product, whether it be automobile or antidepressant, sneaker or spoon, he's the man to get the job done. Wardrobe lack pizzazz? Come to the Outfit Outlet.

Once there, he meets the town council, who will try to sway his opinion over the coming days. Lucky Aberdeen, the millionaire software pioneer and hometown-boy-made-good, wants the name changed to something that will reflect the town's capitalist aspirations, attracting new businesses and revitalizing the community. Who could argue with that? Albie Winthrop, beloved son of the town's aristocracy, thinks Winthrop is a perfectly good name, and can't imagine what the fuss is about. Regina Goode, the mayor, is a descendent of the black settlers who founded the town, and has her own secret agenda for what the name should be. Our expert must decide the outcome, with all its implications for the town's future. Which name will he choose? Or perhaps he will devise his own? And what's with his limp, anyway?
