Garrison Keillor: Unexpectedly on a dark day, light shines through
I pulled in [the gas station], looked around for the button that unlatches the gas tank cover, and a tall skinny kid appeared at the window, and asked how he could help. I said, "How do you open the gas cap?" He reached in and did it and went to the pump and grabbed the nozzle. The last time I saw a kid pumping gas at a gas station was back during the Johnson administration. His name was Jimmy. He had a big smile. "Regular?" he said. I said, "Fill her up with regular." The moment I said it, I felt the world become kinder and gentler. He told me this was his first job. He's sixteen. I said, "You must be the best friend of every old lady in Lenox." He laughed. "Forty-three bucks," he said. I gave him fifty and said thank you. One small kind deed changed my whole weekend around.
"Stuck in the Middle with You" (sometimes known as "Stuck in the Middle") is a song written by Scottish musicians Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan and originally performed by their band Stealers Wheel.
The band performed the song on the BBC's Top of the Pops in May 1973, and the song charted at No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart. It also became an international hit, reaching No. 6 in the US Billboard Hot 100.
"Stuck in the Middle" was released on Stealers Wheel's 1972 eponymous debut album. Gerry Rafferty provided the lead vocals, with Joe Egan singing harmony. It was produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Rafferty's lyrics are a dismissive tale of a music industry cocktail party written and performed as a parody of Bob Dylan's paranoia (the vocal impression, subject, and styling were so similar, listeners have wrongly attributed the song to Dylan since its release)
The band was surprised by the single's chart success. The single sold over one million copies, eventually peaking at No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, No. 8 in the UK, and No. 2 in Canada. Billboard ranked it as the No. 30 song for 1973.

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with youSource

Stuck in the Middle With You. The Scottish pop group had its only top 10 hit in the US with 1973 song "Stuck in the Middle With You." The song sold over 1 million copies and the band hung around until 1975 before calling it quits. Film director Quentin Tarantino used the song in "Reservoir Dogs" in the shocking scene where psychopath criminal Mr. Blonde was brutally torturing the police officer bound to a chair. Mr. Blonde sang along with a radio broadcast of "Stuck in the Middle With You" while interrogating and brutalizing the cop about the identity of the 'rat' who tipped the police off to the botched jewelry store robbery.

Stuck In The Middle With You. Stealer's Wheel was the band and the terrific Gerry Rafferty did the vocals. He eventually went out on his own after Stealer's Wheel dissolved in acrimony and lawsuits and on his second album, City to City, wrote and performed a song called Baker Street Blues which wistfully posited that he was gonna give up the booze and the one night stands and settle down and think about everything. The last line in the song was "When you wake up, it's a new morning/ The sun is shining, it's a new morning/ You're going, you're going home." He died a few years ago of alcoholism. Right down the line.

"Stuck In the Middle With You". Lyrically, it always reminded me of "Momma Told Me Not Come", Randy Newman's song that was a big hit for Three Dog Night. The narrator is high, confused, and somewhere he shouldn't and don't wanna be.

"Stuck in the middle with you." Good song, very singable, and for those to young to have sung along with the Steeler'\s Wheel version can find it on "Grace and Frankie."
So after multiple warnings of power outages over multiple platforms Monday and Tuesday, our power went off sometime after midnight Tuesday. There was no wind, and we're not in a fire hazard area (we're maybe ½ mile from "the country"). Power was off all day, until about 7:40 pm, the daytime winds were nothing like what was predicted, and I (among many others) were pissed at PG&E's bullying tactics, couched in a "we're helping you" kind of vibe. Nope. We weren't having it, and many of my fellow NorCal neighbors were reaming the utility all day on Twitter, and rightly so. And now that our edge-of-the-country neighbors have power, the wind has picked up considerably. #firstworldproblems

• Artist Jeffrey Vallance grew up with a father who hated the snails in the family's garden - he would stomp on them. Therefore, on 4 July 1976, Jeffrey gathered as many of the snails he could find and painted an American flag on their shells. He thought that would stop his father from stomping on the snails, but actually the flags made the snails more visible to his father. Therefore, Jeffrey asked his father to stop stomping on the snails, and his father complied. A local newspaper did a couple of local-color articles about the snails, but his father eventually poisoned the snails and killed them. Jeffrey gathered the snails' shells and then mounted them along with copies of the newspaper articles. He then began selling the snails for $200 each and told his father that "every time he was putting his foot down [and crushing a snail], that was like $200 gone!" Money was something his father understood.
• As a kid, children's book illustrator/author Diana Cain Bluthenthal did not have any real pets: Her parents did not want the fuss of taking care of real pets. Therefore, Diana's "pets" were mainly two houseplants. In addition, she carried pussy willow branches in her pockets, and they became her pets. She says, "When their fur fell off, I was so upset. I was truly a child in need of something to love and something to love me." As an adult with a family, she has many pets: a small snake, two pet rats, a tank of fish, and two dogs. During warm weather, the family has many more pets in what she calls her family's "summer catch-and-release program": ants (in an ant farm), caterpillars, crickets, frogs, lizards, salamanders, toads, and turtles. She says, "I've never been accused of having a farm, but once my husband did say to me the place was becoming a zoo."
• In 1969 and 1970, punk singer Patti Smith and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe lived together in the Chelsea Hotel, along with many other artists and eccentrics. She often sat in the lobby, people-watching. One day she sat in the lobby after buying a stuffed black crow from the Museum of the American Indian. Salvador Dali, dressed in a black and scarlet cape, saw her holding the crow. He touched her shoulder and said to her, "You are like a crow, a gothic crow."
• Children's book illustrator Ted Lewin grew up in a household with lots of unusual animals as pets - a lion, a chimpanzee, and many monkeys. (Their neighbors called the Lewins "the circus people.") One afternoon, young Ted made many drawings of Jago the chimpanzee as he lay on the porch. When Jago woke up, apparently he didn't like the drawings - he immediately bit Ted.
Beauty
• Celebrity photography can be an art, and photographers appreciate actresses who truly know what kind of makeup works for them. In 1944, Ingrid Bergman had a sitting with celebrity photographer John Engstead, who had been told by David Selznick's assistant producer William Perreira, "We're going to change Ingrid Bergman's image. We're going to glamorize her … a new makeup, a new hairstyle, and a new wardrobe, and we'd like you to photograph her." Mr. Engstead set up his lights while Ms. Bergman's image was changed, and eventually the "transforming" man came out of the "transforming" room and told him, "She's changing. She looks great. I changed her eyebrows, added false lashes, and shaded the face." When Ms. Bergman came out, however, she did not look transformed - she looked like the same beautiful Ingrid Bergman. She explained, 'I don't mind trying something new, but I think I know what is best for me and this glamour makeup is not right. I look better with nothing on my face." After the transformation, Ms. Bergman had washed off the makeup and combed her hair in her own way. Of course, she was beautiful and she looked beautiful, and her photographs that day showed her beauty.
• African-American artist Tom Feelings knew that he had to make the point that black is beautiful after traveling to the American South in 1961. He met a seven-year-old black girl whom he thought was beautiful, but the girl told Mr. Feelings, "Nothin' black is beautiful." Mr. Feelings created with his wife, Muriel, such books as Jambo Means Hello (1974), which emphasizes black beauty. The book contains this passage: "Uuzuri means beauty. Beauty means different things in different parts of Africa. In one, it is a woman with a clean-shaven head; in another it is a great crown of braided hair."
The kittens have it all figured out - play, eat, poop, sleep (preferrably in that order).

Justin Timberlake performed during the Super Bowl LII halftime show, but only after Rihanna turned down the NFL's offer. It was widely rumored that Rihanna rebuffed the NFL as a show of solidarity to former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
In an interview with Abby Aguirre of Vogue, Rihanna said she didn't want to "be a sellout" or an "enabler," so she turned down the NFL.
"Absolutely," she says. "I couldn't dare do that. For what? Who gains from that? Not my people. I just couldn't be a sellout. I couldn't be an enabler. There's things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way."
Kaepernick, 31, last played in the NFL in 2016. He protested racial injustice in the United States that season, taking a knee during the national anthem. That decision drew plenty of criticism, particularly from President Donald Trump. Kaepernick hit free agency that offseason, went unsigned and hasn't played in the NFL since. Kaepernick has made it clear he would like to return to the NFL.
Mindy Kaling is standing by her comments in a feature story published today by Elle magazine in which she recounted being singled out among her fellow writer-producers on The Office when it came to being vetted for Emmy eligibility.
The Elle article, which will be published in the magazine's November print edition later this month, referenced a time early in the show's run in which Kaling said she was told by Emmy organizer the Television Academy that "because there were too many producers on The Office, they were going to cut her from the list. She, the only woman of color on the team, wouldn't be eligible for an Emmy like the rest of the staff."
"In order to receive her rightful recognition," the article continues, "she recalls, 'they made me, not any of the other producers, fill out a whole form and write an essay about all my contributions as a writer and a producer. I had to get letters from all the other male, white producers saying that I had contributed, when my actual record stood for itself.' " Her name was eventually added to the list, the article says, and the show did not win that year.
"No one person was singled out," an Academy spokesperson said. "There was an increasing concern years ago regarding the number of performers and writers seeking producer credits. At the time the Producers Guild worked with the Television Academy to correctly vet producer eligibility. Every performer producer and writer producer was asked to justify their producer credits. We no longer require this justification from performer producers and writer producers, but we do continue to vet Consulting Producer credits with the PGA to ensure those credited are actually functioning in the role as a producer."
Kaling later responded to the TV Academy's response via Twitter. "Respectfully, the Academy's statement doesn't make any sense. I *was* singled out. There were other Office writer-performer-producers who were NOT cut from the list. Just me. The most junior person, and woman of color. Easiest to dismiss. Just sayin'.
Snoop Dogg is many things to many people. (Including, sometimes, Snoop Lion.) To some, he's a symbol of the enduring power of gangsta rap, one of the best-selling West Coast artists of all time. To others, he's a reality show clown, happily embracing the absurdity of his relationship with Martha Stewart, and presenting a soft-voiced, slightly sanitized take on a formerly hard-edged corner of the musical world. To a select few, he's the incredibly irritating final boss of 2004 rap-wrestling video game Def Jam: Fight For NY, who blocks, like, everything, and has these ridiculous stupid unbreakable combos.
But we digress; the point is that, regardless of whichever version of Snoop Dogg's various personas you most personally relate to, you still basically know who he is and, generally, what he does. Which is what makes the situation surrounding a recent Snoop Dogg show at the University Of Kansas so baffling; booking Snoop Dogg, and then being offended when he brings along stripper poles, cash guns, and uncensored lyrics is kind of like booking a clown, and then getting outraged when he starts usurping God's holy domain by twisting balloons into animal-esque shapes.
The university issued its apology earlier this week, with athletic director Jeff Long releasing a statement in which he apologized to anyone offended by the existence of Snoop Dogg, and assured fans of the school's athletic program that he had told Snoop-a man who has been incarcerated, targeted, and banned by multiple national governments, and has mostly ignored them all-that he'd better not bring any of that filthy language or "stripping dancers" to Jayhawks country. For his part, Snoop Dogg has responded to all this with the same attitude of amused indifference that he's adopted for roughly the last 25 years, tossing in one of those enduring maxims of 21st century philosophy: "When you pay for Snoop Dogg, you gon' get Snoop Dogg."
He also noted that, regardless of later complaints, "The audience enjoyed that shit," and suggested that the university was only really apologizing as a way to cover its own bases, and that he bore them no ill will: "I think it was more the publicity of what I did. They had to cover it up. I respect them, and I wasn't gonna put no smut on their name and say they did anything wrong because they invited me to come do what I do."
For the second time in four years, the iconic green cardigan worn by Kurt Cobain during Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance will head to the auction block. And, before you ask, yes, it has never been washed.
"It's very important that we don't wash it," Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions told Rolling Stone. "The stains are still there. There's even cigarettes burns that you can see on the sweater."
The current owner, a businessman who prefers to remains anonymous, kept the piece stored in acid-free tissue in a safe. The auction house now has it stashed in similar tissue and a plastic case.
In November 2015, Cobain's Manhattan brand sweater - "a blend of acrylic, mohair and Lycra with five-button closure (one button absent), with two exterior pockets, a burn hole and discoloration near left pocket and discoloration on right pocket" - sold for $137,500 through Julien's Auctions, far exceeding the sweater's pre-auction estimate of $60,000.
The sweater will return to the Julien's block once again on October 25th with a pre-auction minimum bid set for $200,000; according to the Julien's listing, that minimum bid has already been matched, with Cobain's cardigan expected to reach bids of upwards of $300,000.
The U.S. tax system is supposed to be progressive, meaning that wealthier households pay a larger share of their income to the taxman than the middle class and the poor. Yet after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, that's no longer the case: For the first time in a century, America's 400 richest families now pay lower taxes than people in the middle class.
That's according to an analysis of tax data by two prominent economists, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman of the University of California at Berkeley, that is a centerpiece of their new book, "The Triumph of Injustice," to be published on October 15. Saez and Zucman, who have worked with the noted French economist Thomas Piketty to produce seminal research on inequality, also advised Senator Elizabeth Warren on the Democratic presidential candidate's plan to impose a wealth tax on ultra-rich families.
The tipping point came last year when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump at the end of 2017, took effect. While Mr. Trump vowed that middle-class families would be helped by the tax overhaul, experts say most working-class families saw only a minimal benefit, while the wealthiest citizens got the lion's share of breaks. In fact, Saez and Zucman argue, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act turned the tax system on its head.
Factoring in all federal, state and local taxes, those ultra-wealthy households pay a total rate of about 23% - that compares with 24.2% for the bottom half of households, which includes many in the middle class. The richest families also pay a lower rate than those in the upper middle class and even those in the top 1%, who pay closer to 30% of their income in taxes.
"In 1970, the richest Americans paid, all taxes included, more than 50% of their income in taxes, twice as much as working-class individuals," the book notes. "In 2018, following the Trump tax reform, and for the first time in the last hundred years, billionaires have paid less than steel workers, schoolteachers and retirees."
Donald Trump (R-Iniquitous) has defended the wife of a US diplomat who killed a British teenager in a road accident, suggesting it is difficult to drive on the other side of the road and that "we've all done it".
Speaking at the White House after a conversation with prime minister Boris Johnson, during which he apparently rejected a request to consider waiving the woman's diplomatic immunity and her returning to Britain to face the police, the president said he wanted to try and bring about "healing".
Mr Trump said the US would shortly be speaking to the woman, and that there were many Americans who sympathised with the plight of teenager Harry Dunn's parents, who he said was killed in a "terrible accident".
Yet, he also appeared to back the diplomat's wife, saying that it could be difficult "driving on the opposite side of the road".
"The woman was driving on the wrong side of the road. That can happen," he said. "Those are the opposite side of the road. I won't say it ever happened to me, but it but it did."
About 4,000 years ago on a remote island in the Arctic, the last woolly mammoth died out.
Elephantine in shape and size, mammoths (official name Mammuthus primigenius) dominated the northern hemisphere during Earth's last ice age for nearly 90,000 years, before changing climates and human hunting drove them to extinction.
Scientists have uncovered mammoth skeletons and frozen carcasses everywhere from Spain to Siberia, and the understanding was that these creatures had wholly disappeared by about 11,000 years ago.
But a handful of mammoth populations survived on two tiny, isolated islands nestled between Russia and Alaska that were cut-off from the mainland by rising seas. Researchers think one of these refuges, name Wrangel Island, became the last mammoth hold-out; these tusked giants outlived their North American and European counterparts by some 7,000 years before going abruptly extinct.
That means mammoths as a species lasted far longer than scientists previously thought. When the last woolly mammoth kicked the bucket, the Great Pyramid of Giza had already been built in Egypt.
