It's amazing to think of how good, and how prolific, the legendary songwriter Irving Berlin really was. A revue like Cheek to Cheek: Irving Berlin in Hollywood is clearly designed around the licensing limitations that prevented it from using Berlin's twenty or so most famous songs. This is unapologetically the Berlin B-sides, but... when your B-sides include "Blue Skies," "God Bless America," "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep" and the titular "Cheek to Cheek," nobody is going to be waiting with bated breath for "Puttin' on the Ritz." (Besides, a different show is currently using THAT song at the Pittsburgh CLO Cabaret... more on that later this week.) There is, quite simply, no beating Irving Berlin as the king of American popular song, and this simple but effective revue proves it in spades.

In 1825, at the approximate age of 8, Jordan Anderson (sometimes spelled "Jordon") was sold into slavery and would live as a servant of the Anderson family for 39 years. In 1864, the Union Army camped out on the Anderson plantation and he and his wife, Amanda, were liberated. The couple eventually made it safely to Dayton, Ohio, where, in July 1865, Jordan received a letter from his former owner, Colonel P.H. Anderson. The letter kindly asked Jordan to return to work on the plantation because it had fallen into disarray during the war.On Aug. 7, 1865, Jordan dictated his response through his new boss, Valentine Winters, and it was published in the Cincinnati Commercial. The letter, entitled "Letter from a Freedman to His Old Master," was not only hilarious, but it showed compassion, defiance, and dignity. That year, the letter would be republished in the New York Daily Tribune and Lydia Marie Child's "The Freedman's Book."The letter mentions a "Miss Mary" (Col. Anderson's Wife), "Martha" (Col. Anderson's daughter), Henry (most likely Col. Anderson's son), and George Carter (a local carpenter).Dayton, Ohio,August 7, 1865To My Old Master, Colonel P.H. Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

5 Zodiac Signs That Could Be Your Worst Friend

Brian May has had his say in the ongoing debate over tube amps and digital modellers – and he’s very firmly in the tube amp camp. Although it’s become more common for artists to trade tube amps for digital modellers when on tour, and sometimes also for recording, May maintains in an interview with Guitar World that he doesn’t plan on making the switch.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
