A curious thing happened after Edward Snowden leaked NSA surveillance documents, then got branded a "traitor": both government and tech companies began talking about transparency and user privacy. At first, there was a lot of finger-pointing between the two worlds. But now it looks like tech companies are really getting down to the business of privacy.

Today, the Electronic Frontier Foundation published its fourth annual "Who Has Your Back" report, which features "comprehensive information on 26 companies' commitments to fighting unfair demands for customer data." Detailed in the report is everything from privacy policies to the courtroom track records of internet service providers, social media sites, mobile services, and more.

"This year's 'Who Has Your Back' report shows a massive increase in the number of transparency reports and commitments to provide notice to users, reflecting the heightened public awareness of government surveillance," Kurt Opsahl, one of EFF's attorneys who worked on this year's report, told me. "With users so deeply concerned about surveillance, the companies have responded with strong improvements, and it shows in the stars. We've been calling for more transparency reports for a long time, and are gratified that it has become an industry norm."

Not too surprisingly, Snapchat pulled up the rear in EFF's report. Widely scorned by privacy advocates for being lax on user privacy, Snapchat pretty much did nothing aside from publish law enforcement guidelines.

"Snapchat joins AT&T and Comcast in failing to require a warrant for government access to the content of communications," said EFF staff attorney Nate Cardozo. "That means the government can obtain extraordinarily sensitive information about your activities and communications without convincing a judge that there is probable cause to collect it."

Amazon and AT&T also received low marks. Amazon requires a warrant for content and fights for users' privacy rights in courts, but the tech giant doesn't tell users about government data requests, publish law enforcement guidelines, or—and perhaps most critically given its power—fight for users' rights in Congress. AT&T, as many already know from the _Hepting v. AT&T_ case, doesn't require a warrant or inform users about data requests. However, they do publish transparency reports and law enforcement guidelines. With AT&T, it really seems to be a matter of baby steps.

Last year, only one company received a full six star rating—Sonic, a California-based ISP. This year, Sonic again topped the list, alongside Dropbox, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and CREDO Mobile, a mobile service provider noted for its progressive activism. Wickr, the self-destructing messaging app, as well as WordPress, LinkedIn, Tumblr (owned by Yahoo), and SpiderOak, an encrypted data backup tool, all received five stars.

On another note, it would be interesting to know how newer apps like the Uber and Lyft perform on privacy and transparency. Both private transportation network startups accumulate a lot of data about their users—name, email, phone number, residence, movements around cities, favorite spots, and credit and debit card information. Also curiously absent from EFF's report is Instagram, given its huge user base, as are WhatsApp and its competitor Blink, which Yahoo just acquired this week.

Despite these and other absences in the report, Silicon Valley's commitment to privacy and transparency almost a year after Edward Snowden's NSA leaks is encouraging. But, the real problem here is that, for many of these companies, user data is a central source of revenue. As long as that continues, users can't expect complete privacy online.

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Akeem Spence announced on Twitter that his recent protest during the national anthem cost his contractor father a job.

'Got some awful news from my father a contractor [a potential customer denied] giving him a job on doing a house because of my peaceful protest #smh,' Spence wrote on Twitter Thursday.

Spence's father Floyd could not be reached at his home or business for comment.

Spence was one of eight Lions players who took a knee while linking arms with most of their teammates and owner Martha Ford during the playing of the national anthem before Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Akeem Spence and his Detroit Lions teammates recently chipped in during a cooking competition at Baker College

He told the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday that his taking a knee was 'no disrespect to the American flag'.

'It's about right and wrong, like I always say,' Spence said.

'And what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong,' he continued. 'It's no offense to nobody, no disrespect. Just like I always tell people, love one another and we'll be alright.'

The ongoing controversy over NFL players protesting police brutality against minorities has had many unintended consequences.

Tennessee Titans star Delanie Walker said he and his family have received death threats since he told fans not to come to games if they felt disrespected by NFL players' protests.

The Pro Bowl tight end shared the 'heartbreaking' threats on Thursday night in a post on Facebook.

'The death threats that my family and I have received since my comments are heartbreaking,' Walker, 33, wrote.

'The racist and violent words directed at me and my son only serve as another reminder that our country remains divided and full of hateful rhetoric.'

On Thursday, Walker wrote: 'The death threats that my family and I have received since my comments are heartbreaking. The racist and violent words directed at me and my son only serve as another reminder that our country remains divided and full of hateful rhetoric'

Walker and the Tennessee Titans joined the Seattle Seahawks in staying inside their locker rooms during the national anthem on Sunday, and Walker walked out arm-in-arm with quarterback Marcus Mariota.

The following day, he told fans that if they felt the protests were disrespectful to not come.

'And the fans that don't want to come to the games, OK, bye,' Walker said Monday. 'I mean if you feel that's something where we're disrespecting you, don't come to the games.

'You don't have to. No one is telling you to come to the game. It's your freedom and your choice to do that.'

The Titans had no comment Thursday night.

This spring, Walker took part in the NFL's USO Tour of the Middle East. He said in his Facebook post he gained an even greater appreciation for the men and women who defend American values.

'These words of hate will only fuel me in my efforts to continue my work reaching out to different community groups, listening to opposing voices, and honoring the men and women in the Armed Forces who risk their lives every day so that we may have this dialogue,' he wrote.

The demonstrations began in 2016 when then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat for the duration of the anthem before a preseason game to protest police brutality and racism against minorities. The protests gained steam throughout last season and several players continued demonstrating by sitting, kneeling, or raise a fist during the anthem in 2017.

But after Week 2 of this season, when only a handful of players participated, President Donald Trump took aim at the protesters, calling them 'sons of b******' during a speech in Alabama on September 22.

Trump followed with an onslaught of critical tweets throughout the weekend. But if his intention was to dissuade the players from protesting, Trump missed the mark. Over 200 players demonstrated in one way or another in Week 3.

Most NFL sidelines on Sunday featured players standing for the anthem or kneeling in protest, but several teams decided to demonstrate as a team.

For instance, the Dallas Cowboys coaches, players, and even owner Jerry Jones knelt while locking arms before their Monday Night Football game in Arizona on Monday.

Fans booed in response, leading Trump to tweet on Tuesday that the boos were the 'loudest' he had ever heard.

Trump claimed the boos directed at the Dallas Cowboys were the 'loudest I have ever heard.' ESPN earned a 9.3 overnight rating, which is a 63 percent jump from Week 3 last year

On Thursday night, the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears all stood for the national anthem, arms linked.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers insisted before the game on Thursday that it was not a protest but 'a unified demonstration of love and solidarity.'

They asked fans to join in on what they described as their 'call to connect', some of whom did.

They were surrounded by others who placed their hands on their hearts, waved American flags and held signs condemning the protests which have swept across the NFL and spread into other pockets of pop culture since President Donald Trump condemned them last week.

Two she-wolves fought over a limb, snarling and ripping as they did. Occasionally they would forget the corpse altogether, tumbling into the latecomers who (as beggars could not be choosers) were left to dispose of the still-warm innards. The alpha male guarded the face and chest, sitting at ease with paws out in front, eyes constantly on wandering pups who tested his patience. Any pack member he deemed too close was subject to a few lazy swipes of his claws, teeth exposed in a menacing show of rank. Every now and then he would feign a yawn but snap his jaws shut, a loud crack that caused his pups to scarper and the bitches to whimper, blood smeared snouts hidden deep inside flesh.

Not 10 feet away lay a handgun loaded, cocked and impotent. *If a shot is fired in the forest and no one is present to witness it, does it make a sound?* The wolf whose brains now lay spattered over the ruby red autumn leaves, turning them black, would tell you that it *does*. The power in the buckshot had propelled the beast to onto its side and there it had stayed, twitching uncontrollably as it drowned in its own blood. The pack had not mourned, nor were they spurned on to seek revenge. Cold and calculated they had kept formation, following the scent upwind, quickly filling in gaps created by short-lived disharmony. A few adolescent males had stayed with the dying creature however, nuzzling and pawing but once the death spasms stopped and the stump no longer wheezed red, they too slunk away.

The hill they had stalked him up was dense with trees and plants, carpeted with leaves of a range of deep autumn colours. He, clambering, had flustered up a storm of dying debris as he shot round after round into the air (feeble attempts to scare away the horror that haunted him) to no avail. Rustling leaves caught his attention as he fled, every crunch simply fire in the fuel that supported his aching legs. Still, he ran despite the snarls and yelps that seemed to perpetuate from nowhere, pressing fear deeper into his core. The pack had smelled him less than a league away and he had noticed the howls getting closer and closer every minute. It wasn’t until eyes, flashing red in the moonlight, had begun to pepper the darkness of the thicket that he had run. He had still been in possession of his handgun then; it was lost, dropped as they attacked his arms when they surrounded him at the top of the hill, where the silhouetted trees were at the thickest and not even the sound of traffic could be heard.

The handgun had remained unfired until the wolves, 17 heavy rounds in the magazine, something he did not expect; before he followed the trail up through the plains to the forest he had intended to use it on a more human-like target. Police sirens were floating in the chilled night air, faint and feeble as they blared somewhere in the distance, clearly looking in a very wrong direction. A dusty path leading away from the edge of town was the one he had picked in case of emergency and, as it so happened, the once quiet evening had offered him a level of emergence too invasive to ignore. He had taken luck by the hand when the sirens had first screeched at the front door to his cabin. How on *earth* did they find him there? Not even he knew where it was at the best of times. He had not been near civilisation in almost a year, wandering only *away* from the closest town (he selected those who had become lost and dragged them further away), aided by a shittily drawn map pieced together by the hopeful, confessional ravings of his victims.

The police had, of course, broken the door down and found copious evidence but no one to pin it to. Spreading out they had scoured every room, destroying as they went with shouts of ‘The cunt’s not ‘ere, sir!’ and ‘Clear!’ cutting through the thick and musty air. Meanwhile, he had dropped into the tunnel and scarpered, shotgun strapped to his chest, handgun in its holster and the map fucked somewhere on his table. He had been careful, he had rested assured at nights knowing that nothing in the cabin could be traceable or lead to him but now he felt a snagging doubt slipping into his step, corrupting his mind. He would stop at intervals in the tunnel (it lead up through a well just over half a mile after the start of the trail) and freeze, focussing his hearing to see if they had followed him. Like the worst game of hide and seek, no one had followed him and he had finally made it to the well, allowing for his escape to the hills.

“Look at this stuff, sir. It’s him. It’s got to be. That....is *fucked* up” The policeman pointed, a gloved finger raised towards the obscenities (he had once called it his Wall of Fame) that were thumb-tacked to the wood. Each depicted a gory scene of torture, each victim contorted in agony, features distorted in pain. None looked very alive, at least for not much longer after that specific picture. There was proof, you see, thumb-tacked to the wall of fame. The sergeant began to silently remove the collection, one by one, face down. “It’s guys like this that get what’s coming to them.” A woman, now a man, blood and pain, then a child. He looked at it with a hard stare. “Crime is easy. Getting away with it is easy.” Less and less the horror that adorned the wall sullied the cabin’s inside. It had once been a pleasant home to some pleasant people. “You see,” he spoke to his men now. In his hand was a photograph of a girl no older than 20 who was crying, smeared in her own blood. Fingers that had held the photo had left behind a bloody, but clear, print. “You see, it’s not running away from the crime that’s difficult. Any wild animal can run. It’s *living* with what you’ve done that tests you. You look over your shoulder and lie and hate and writhe from the thought of it. You know that one day you will find yourself backed into a corner with a ghost of everyone whose throat you’ve slit or brains you’ve bashed in. Every time you’ve lied, every frown you’ve forced. You know one day that it will all come back to bite you on the ass. Each ghost just a razor sharp tooth in the mouth of a beast you reared. And when they find you, they *will* have their revenge”.

This is my first post here, hope you guys enjoy it!
Any feedback is welcome. Thank you for reading! :)

“Bring me the remote.” He brings in the remote on a silver plate. The plate remains resting on the fingertips of his white-gloved hand until I remove the remote from its place. I push the power button and suddenly there is a projection in front of me. News. I can never really watch the news; it disinterests me. The reporter is covering the speech from the president. I couldn’t care less. It’s always the same spiel about how great the new world is, how a perfect society is now in place and how world peace has finally been achieved. “Utopia”, as the president calls it.
The Butler walks in and retreats to the corner where he will always stand, staring straight ahead at the wall adjacent to him until I give him a command. Butler is a hyperbole; he is more of a slave. But what is a perfect world with slaves? After all history has taught us that slaves are unacceptable in a perfect union. Therefore the proper term, deemed by the president of course, is Butler.
I glance at him. He looks revolting. Standing still as a statue, his blue eyes looking straight ahead. His bleach blond hair, cut short on the sides and trimmed to exactly one and a half inches on top, is combed over to the right side of his head. His skin is pulled tight over his cheekbones and jaw making them more pronounced. His pink lips are full and bright. He stands at exactly six feet, the majority of his height stemming from his legs. The light flooding in through the window reflects off his white skin, giving him a sort of glow. I can’t stand to look at him. One would think it would get easier, especially given that all Butlers look close to the same and every household has one. They most definitely are not an uncommon sight. Yet, there is something about them that always stands out, something that repulses me. It’s that stare. They all share the same stare.
“We will continue to evolve! It is our time! Our reign! Our world!” The propaganda continues to spew from the president’s mouth.
I walk to the window and look out over the vast city that is the new capital of the world.
“Have you watered the plants today?” I ask the Butler as I continue to gaze over the city in front of me.
“No, sir” he mutters, “I will immediately, sir”
He walks off into the other room.
The sun’s rays blanket the city turning it into an immense ocean of orange and yellow. I sometimes catch the Butler looking at this ocean, watching the waves of red and purple roll through the clouds. His eyes are different when he watches all these colors. I still cannot figure out how. They don’t themselves change color, nor do they change in size or in any physical way that I can determine. But they are different. When the light glares off a neighboring building is the only time his eyes physically change; they draw together, much the same as the shades on the window would, if I ordered him to pull them shut. After closing them for exactly a tenth of a second those eyes go back to staring, that usual stare that makes me hate the Butlers.
I focus my own eyes on the glare. I look straight into it for ten minutes, waiting. But nothing changes with me. I don’t find this interesting. What does he see?
He returns to his post, again staring at the adjacent white wall.
I focus my attention back to the president’s words. “The tables have been turned, the ruled have become the rulers! The Butler’s provide for us now, as we once provided for them! We have become the dominant species and it is our inherent right, our privilege, and our purpose to dominate them now! Our utopia is built upon the backs of the Butlers as their world was built upon us!”
A loud applause comes from the audience.
The Butler is focused on the colors through the window.
“Shut the shades” I order him. He does it without a sound. I do not want to see that unexplainable change in his eyes at the moment.
I feel myself becoming drained. I need to recharge. I tell the Butler that I am ready to sleep. He disappears for a moment and comes back with a long white chord. I hold my hand up, a gesture for the Butler to wait. I listen to the last little bit of the speech from the president, “our race will forever live in harmony! There will never be conflict! There will never be war! Our race is the perfect race! We are the robot race and it is our world now! Our imperfect human creators will serve us for all time as a constant reminder to how we saved them from their inevitable self-annihilation! This is our planet now and it will be our planet always!”
I motion to the Butler; he opens a slot in my head and plugs in the white chord. I feel the energy pulsing through me to my core. The Butler moves back to his spot and stares ahead. I look into his eyes, I am still perplexed by those staring eyes, they hold something in them; something I cannot comprehend. I start to drift into sleep. I hate him for his eyes, for whatever it is that his eyes hold.

title: Butler

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

How did the butler end up as a slave to the narrator?

answer: History would have most likely needed to be rewritten. Probably due to humans looking upon robots and thinking them "perfect" and then deciding to relinquish all the good things for themselves...

text: The story does not provide a clear answer to how that situation came about.

answer: The Butler was most likely either assigned or born into servitude. The president has determined that the concept of slavery is necessary to uphold the perfection of their new world.

answer: The Butler is a slave because according to the current president's propaganda, the Butler's role is to take care of the humans while remaining subservient. Unlike humans, however, the Butler's don't have the privilege to have power or autonomy. The Butler is seen as flawed and inferior by the dominant race and therefore must be mastered.

answer: That information can't be found.

answer: The butlers had once ruled the narrator's world but the narrator's people overthrew the previous government. Now the ruled have become the rulers and the butlers must work for the new species. As once the butlers had ruled now the new species rules.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What kind of entity is the narrator?

answer: A member of the ruling class who is half human and half machine.

text: This is inaccurate; the narrator is a robot.

refinement: A member of the ruling class who is a robot.

answer: The narrator is a robot. The robots that humans made have overthrown the world and taken the humans hostage. The robots believe that they saved humans from self-annihilation and they plan to rule the world forever.

text: The last two lines are unnecessary.

answer: Presumably human.

text: This is incorrect; the narrator is a robot.

answer: The narrator is clearly an individual of power in the society in which the text takes place. He is either a member of the ruling class or aristocracy, or occupies some other role of power and influence. He finds the Butler's stare disturbing and cannot figure out why this is the case.

text: This does not provide the answer the question is looking for--namely that the narrator is a robot.

text: Does not mention what the narrator is.

answer: The narrator is detached and somewhat critical of Butler, indicating that the narrator is likely not part of the upper-class hierarchy. As the Butler is a servant, likely in service to the narrator, the narrator is likely a member of the lower-class or working-class.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the narrator dislike the most about the butler?

answer: His stare.

text: Not completely accurate--the narrator dislikes whatever emotion is hidden behind the butler's eyes.

refinement: His stare, and the emotion hidden behind it.

answer: The narrator finds the butler's gaze unnerving. He feels that the butler holds a secret he does not know of that bothers him greatly.

answer: The narrator can't stand what the Butler looks like. He particularly dislikes his eyes. The narrator thinks that the butler is revolting. All butlers look similar with short bleach blonde hair, full bright pink lips, and translucent white skin. The narrator can't bear to look at him.

text: The part about all butlers looking similar is irrelevant.

refinement: The narrator can't stand what the Butler looks like. He particularly dislikes his eyes. The narrator thinks that the butler is revolting. The narrator can't bear to look at him.

text: The last two lines are redundant, as it is already mentioned that the narrator can't stand what the butler looks like.

refinement: The narrator can't stand what the Butler looks like. He particularly dislikes his eyes.

text: The answer does not touch on the butler's secret.

refinement: The narrator can't stand what the Butler looks like. He particularly dislikes his eyes. He senses that there is a secret emotion hidden behind those eyes and dislikes that fact.

answer: The narrator dislikes the Butler's stare, because it repulses him. He also dislikes how their eyes shift slightly but remain blue, and the unexplainable thing that is there in those eyes.

text: The detail about the butler's eyes shifting slightly is unattested.

refinement: The narrator dislikes the Butler's stare, because it repulses him. He also dislikes the unexplainable thing that is there in those eyes.

answer: The narrator dislikes the Butler's stare. The narrator feels that there is something unexplainable about the Butler's eyes that makes him hate them. The narrator finds the stare disturbing and repulsive; they give off an air of dominance and superiority.

text: The statement that the eyes give off an air of dominance and superiority is unattested.

refinement: The narrator dislikes the Butler's stare. The narrator feels that there is something unexplainable about the Butler's eyes that makes him hate them. The narrator finds the stare disturbing and repulsive.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH (formerly ST MICHAEL'S CHURCH), is in the village of Bolton-le-Sands, Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Tunstall, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the diocese of Blackburn. Its benefice is united with that of St Mark, Nether Kellett.[1] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[2]

History

A church has been on the site since before 1094.[3] The oldest parts of the present church are the tower and the north arcade, which date from the late 15th century. The nave was built in 1813.[4] In 1847 the Lancaster architectural practice of Sharpe and Paley rebuilt the chancel,[5][6] and in 1851 added a pulpit and a reading desk.[7] The church was restored in 1863–64 by E. G. Paley (by this time Sharpe had retired from the practice).[8] In 1881 the practice, now Paley and Austin, carried out further alterations, which included widening the north aisle, adding a vestry, a porch, a pulpit, and a font, lowering the floor, removing the gallery, opening the tower arch, replacing windows, reseating the church to accommodate 450 people, and retiling and refitting the chancel.[9]

Architecture

Exterior

The church is constructed in rubble with slate roofs. The tower is in ashlar sandstone, and the south wall of the nave is pebbledashed. Its plan consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel and a west tower. The tower is in three stages. In the bottom stage is a west door and a three-light window.[10] This window is flanked by niches with pinnacles.[11] The bell openings also have three lights. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses, and on its summit is a battlemented parapet.[12] At its southwest is a projection for stairs.[13] The windows in the south nave wall contain Perpendicular tracery.[14] The chancel is in Early English style.[15]

Interior

The arcade is in five bays running between the nave and chancel, and the north aisle.[16] It is supported by octagonal piers, other than the second pier from the east, which is rectangular.[17] The nave has a hammerbeam roof, and the chancel roof is scissor-braced.[18] Between the chancel and the aisle is a sandstone memorial to the memory of a man who died in 1642 with the inscription “It is supposed that he lived above 100 yeares”.[19][20] Elsewhere there are 19th-century monuments in Classical style, and brasses dated 1692 and 1872. The reredos is in alabaster and dates from 1897. The stained glass in the west window dates from 1891. It depicts archangels, was designed by Carl Almquist, and made by Shrigley and Hunt.[21] The glass in the chancel windows was designed by William Wailes.[22] Also in the church are two pieces of carved Anglo-Saxon stone dating from the 10th century.[23]

External features

In the churchyard to the south of the church is a square sandstone cross base with two steps. Its age is not known. It is surmounted by a later square block and a 20th-century cross.[24] The churchyard also contains the war graves of two British and one Canadian soldier of World War I.[25]

thumb|upright=1.3|Choralschola

A CHORALSCHOLA, known simply as _schola_, is a choir for singing Gregorian chant or plainsong. It consists traditionally of only men, but more recent groups sometimes also include female voices. A schola often performs in uniform. The group may perform in the liturgy of church services, but some specialized ensembles also perform concerts and recordings, such as the and the Schola Gregoriana Pragensis.

Chant singing is usually responsorial, responses being sung by cantor. the congregation or by groups within the schola. Parts of the liturgy sung by the schola include the ordinary, and the changing parts Introit, Psalms, Sequence, Tract, calls to the gospel and the offertory, and Gradual.

Traditionally the schola performs without accompaniment. After the Second Vatican Council, the frequency of Latin liturgy was reduced and is less known. Therefore organ accompaniment has been used to support the singing.

A Choralschola is one of singing groups in the oratorio _Laudato si'_, composed in 2016 by Peter Reulein on a libretto by Helmut Schlegel and aimed at showing the diversity of church music, the others being soloists, a children's choir and a mixed choir.[1]

People will be able to try out a new disc golf course in Saskatoon for the first time on Sunday.

Gophertown Disc Golf is hosting a fundraising tournament for the new course in Donna L. Birkmaier Park.

-   VILLAGE OF VANSCOY SETS UP 9-HOLE DISC GOLF COURSE

It's expected to help meet the growing demand for disc golf.

"The other course is getting busy, so I mean, just to be able to spread out some of the players throughout the city will be great," said Gophertown president James Lawson.

He added the tournament will also help expose the sport to new, curious players.

In his experience, Lawson said one of the most difficult parts of playing a new course is working out the distance perception and the wind in the area.

The new setup will be on par with a standard course, but will boast a few signature holes to test people, he said.

Some of the original plans were scrapped to come to the final design, and most changes stemmed from the city's requests, Lawson said.

"There's concern for safety of the public and for the environment and that area there," he said.

"There's a wetland area there that obviously is a concern for people."

The changes have been made, and Lawson expects the city to fully install the course around the last week in July.

"It's a beautiful park and I think people will really enjoy it," he said.

There will be two rounds of 18 holes at the fundraiser, and raffle prizes will be given out. Organizers hope to raise $600 to go towards permanent installation of baskets, as well as signs and other costs.

Players should meet at 11 a.m. CST.

Rider

My mom has always been supportive of my career as a musician. My dad never got around to it. The only bands he’d ever listen to were the Beatles and Rolling Stones. He wanted the Beatles played at his funeral, which he got. My mom never talks about the music that she listens to  except for her uncle Alan who toured the Midwest in the 50’s as a troubadour;  he’s still famous in our town.

I haven’t been home in a while, not that I miss it much. I moved to LA when I was 23. I was bored by the people at home. I was bored by my job at the grocery store and tired of not seeing anything. When I moved I had most of my” LA-experiences” during the first six months, right drugs- wrong people, that sort of thing. I thought the substances would inspire me as it seemed to inspire others but that never happened. I also played some gigs with local small-timers but it didn't amount to much.

My fourth summer in LA came around and thats when I met Terrie outside a used-car shop. I’d been looking to replace dad’s station-wagon that I’d driven to the coast. As  I was standing there looking over some of my options I saw the glint of peroxide-blonde hair and sweaty fishnet stockings out of the corner of my eye. I remember the coral lipstick, which I later learned was her favorite, so shiny on those lips. She walked up to me to bum a cigarette. As I’d recently quit smoking I apologized and told her I didn’t have any on me. Disappointed, she asked me for a lighter to borrow if she could bum a smoke from a man that was standing by a newsstand across the street. I didn’t have a lighter either but I reached into my vest pocket for the book of matches I always kept there. As I handed it to her she thanked me and smiled in the most heartbreaking way. I knew that I had to make her mine. Although I was more of what you might call the singer-songwriter type than a rocker, this girl with her glam rock look was something else. Underneath that make up I could see that she was pretty in an old-fashioned way. Later, when we were married, I used to tell her that she was like a burning wheat field blowing in the summer wind; she never understood what I meant and said I was a sucker. Our courtship was quick because her parents were very religious. Terrie was only 21 when we married but they consented and gave us their blessing because I was “a good God-fearing Midwestern boy.”

	Through Terrie I got more involved in the scene and discovered I had a knack for writing catchy riffs. I joined some of the locals who were in need of a guitarist and not long after that we played as support band for a famous band on their US tour. Months of touring and debauchery followed but after rising tensions in the band and disagreements with our management we decided to call it quits.

         Then Terrie got pregnant. She was excited but seeing as her job at the record store didn’t pay much and my being unemployed, I was worried to say the least. Fortunately I lucked out in joining as a touring and studio session guitarist with a band that had just signed  deal with a big label. Unfortunately this meant being on the road for long stretches at a time. Things quickly went downhill in our relationship and it was while touring in Japan that I got the terrible news that Terrie had suffered a miscarriage. She was inconsolable and quit her job. I tried to be home as much as I could to care for her but my obligations took me out of town again. Things between us never recovered after that and I blame myself. Two months after the loss of our child I got a call from Roy, a sergeant in the Marines who tells me he’s in love with my wife and she is in love with him and they are going to Germany. While this news hurt at first I can’t say I was surprised; I kept my nose to the grind to give me something else to think about. One tour lead to another and after 5 years the band went through a lineup change and I was thrust into the role of frontman. Evidently I did something right as we quickly started selling out the largest arenas and stadiums. We got through 3 good tours before ticket sales started to dwindle. These days we play to fairly large clubs and such, I don’t complain, seeing as it brings in good money. I live a private and enjoyable life.
	I’ve never met Terrie since our marriage ended but last I heard Roy was killed in a combat exercise and she had gotten remarried to a journalist. Even though our relationship went to pieces I still cherish terrie and our times together.
	At the venues we play the band usually has extensive requirements to ensure their comfort. My only requests on the rider are one ham sandwich and two fingers of bourbon. I usually go out into whichever city we’re playing that night and walk around while eating my sandwich. Even though the band is still fairly popular people seldom recognize me off the stage. I also try to find a bookstore to buy something by a local author for those long flights and bus rides. Just before showtime I’ll find a quiet spot in the venue and raise a glass for my Terrie.
