Amy Klobuchar cites Rolling Stones in United Arab Emirates fight


Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Friday came to the defense of an American jailed in the United Arab Emirates over a parody video he made mocking youth culture — and she dragged the Rolling Stones into the controversy.

“I figure if Mick Jagger can play Abu Dhabi, these guys shouldn’t be in jail for putting a video up,” Klobuchar told CNN’s “New Day.” “If he’s not home by the time of that Rolling Stones concert, they’ve got a problem. They can’t have Mick Jagger up there singing his songs and then have this guy in jail.”

Shezanne Cassim, 29, was sentenced this week to a year in jail for a video, which was created and posted online in October 2012 and pokes fun at teenagers in Dubai’s suburbs acting tougher than they are, influenced by hip-hop culture and calling themselves “gangstas,” according to reports.

The Stones concert, which was announced earlier in December, will be held in Abu Dhabi on Feb. 21. The concert will be the first time the rock band has played in the country.

Cassim, a U.S. citizen who moved to Dubai in 2006 after graduating from the University of Minnesota, was arrested in April and charged with violating cybercrimes and endangering national security, The Associated Press reported. He entered a not guilty plea and has been held at a maximum-security prison since June.

However, the Democratic senator — calling the situation “ridiculous” and “an outrage” — said the charges and sentencing of Cassim are hypocritical of the image the UAE is trying to present.

The senator praised the UAE as a country the U.S. has worked with, and the efforts of its ambassador to the U.S., but said its laws need to be modernized. “This has just gone too far,” said Klobuchar, who has discussed the case with Secretary of State John Kerry.

In a briefing earlier this month, the State Department said it was providing Cassim consular services with personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi and American diplomatic officials in Dubai attending his hearings.

Camille Paglia: A Feminist Defense of Masculine Virtues
The cultural critic on why ignoring the biological differences between men and women risks undermining Western civilization itself.



'What you're seeing is how a civilization commits suicide," says Camille Paglia. This self-described "notorious Amazon feminist" isn't telling anyone to Lean In or asking Why Women Still Can't Have It All. No, her indictment may be as surprising as it is wide-ranging: The military is out of fashion, Americans undervalue manual labor, schools neuter male students, opinion makers deny the biological differences between men and women, and sexiness is dead. And that's just 20 minutes of our three-hour conversation.

When Ms. Paglia, now 66, burst onto the national stage in 1990 with the publishing of "Sexual Personae," she immediately established herself as a feminist who was the scourge of the movement's establishment, a heretic to its orthodoxy. Pick up the 700-page tome, subtitled "Art and Decadence From Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson, " and it's easy to see why. "If civilization had been left in female hands," she wrote, "we would still be living in grass huts."

Ms. Paglia relishes her outsider persona, having previously described herself as an egomaniac and "abrasive, strident and obnoxious." Talking to her is like a mental CrossFit workout. One moment she's praising pop star Rihanna (a true artist), then blasting ObamaCare ("a monstrosity," though she voted for the president), global warming (a religious dogma), and the idea that all gay people are born gay ("the biggest canard," yet she herself is a lesbian).

But no subject gets her going more than when I ask if she really sees a connection between society's attempts to paper over the biological distinction between men and women and the collapse of Western civilization.

Ms. Paglia, who has been a professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia since 1984, sees her own students as examples. "I have woodworking students who, even while they're in class, are already earning money making furniture and so on," she says. "My career has been in art schools cause I don't get along with normal academics."

To hear her tell it, getting along has never been Ms. Paglia's strong suit. As a child, she felt stifled by the expectations of girlhood in the 1950s. She fantasized about being a knight, not a princess. Discovering pioneering female figures as a teenager, most notably Amelia Earhart, transformed Ms. Paglia's understanding of what her future might hold.

These iconoclastic women of the 1930s, like Earhart and Katharine Hepburn, remain her ideal feminist role models: independent, brave, enterprising, capable of competing with men without bashing them. But since at least the late 1960s, she says, fellow feminists in the academy stopped sharing her vision of "equal-opportunity feminism" that demands a level playing field without demanding special quotas or protections for women.

She proudly recounts her battle, while a graduate student at Yale in the late 1960s and early '70s, with the New Haven Women's Liberation Rock Band over the Rolling Stones: Ms. Paglia loved "Under My Thumb," a song the others regarded as chauvinist. Then there was the time she "barely got through the dinner" with a group of women's studies professors at Bennington College, where she had her first teaching job, who insisted that there is no hormonal difference between men and women. "I left before dessert."

Loving The Aliens pages 484-487, part of final chapter Stone Free - Andrew Loog Oldham



ROCKMAN

Catching up on some great stuff on this page. I love the pics at the top, which I'd never seen before, though I wish to stress that I'm not among the screaming girls featured. The Oldham interview is great, too, though, remembering some of those bands/performers, I have to disagree with some of his tastes.

Thanks for the latest Loog installment.

Great articles these - the Modeliste interview as well!

As for the last one - why on earth did they choose Doom And Gloom? Goes to show that commercial music writing (esp. the list-making type) is pretty vapid. I mean: "Influence on: The Benny Benassi remix of the same song" is totally dumb. These Nathan Barleys must've run out of ideas...

Nice find from junk-shop....Near mint copy of rare first

Jean-Paul Vroom was born in 1922 in The Hague. Before he left for Paris
at the age of 16 he studies at the Royal Academy. While he attended the Royal Academy, he produces many engravings, lithographs, and paintings.

In the 1960’s he became interested in photography, theater and directing films. The design for Becket’s Waiting for Godot was his first work for the theater.
Vroom’s close association with choreographer Hans van Manen is evident throughout his collection of art that he made for Van Manens’s ballets over the years.
