What happens when we judge by appearance?
When the life we've envisioned runs afoul, how do we respond? If you're Elle Woods, you refute the fetal position and stride into action. There's a plentiful array of dramatic and real-life precedents stretching to antiquity. The literary and visual embodiment is Themis, the Greek goddess of law, order, and justice, portrayed in statuary holding a scale, her eyes veiled. The underlying context, grounded in the concept of "divine" rather than human ordinance, arises from the concept of putting things [and people] in their proper place.
Average White Band’s farewell tour lands during Carmel Jazz Fest
Average White Band co-founder Alan Gorrie said it is time to get off the road. The band launched a final tour this spring but will continue to make music. “It’s the touring that is the hard part,” Gorrie said. “Being on stage is wonderful and still exciting. Since COVID, touring has become really difficult. It’s extremely expensive and hard to manage. We all felt it was time to give it our best show. I use an analogy of a boxer — you don’t want to go out when you are on the slippery slope down. You want to hang up your gloves when you are still at the top of your game. You don’t wait until you get knocked down on the canvas. With our age and experience, you know that’s what coming if you don’t call it quits.”
