Sorry, no English subtitles yet for this video featuring Brays Efe, a Spanish actor known for his role in the Netflix comedy series Paquita Salas, and Inés de León, a Spanish director, scriptwriter, actress and publicist. They are in a car on their way to the Desigual Spring 2019 fashion show in Madrid. They are discussing what is authentic today: Is there too much posing? Have Instagram filters clouded our view? Inés de León (@inesdeleon) and Brays Efe (@braysefe) tell it like it is. They are both wearing Desigual Spring 2019.

Beyoncé posted this photo on Instagram this week. She’s standing in front of a painting by my good friend Gary Lang, a California painter. Gary and I attended art school together in the 1960s at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, which became CalArts. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Today’s music video is Beyoncé and Jay Z, shot in the Louvre:

Elton John, now 71, will be playing three concerts in Vancouver in September in what is being billed as his Final Tour (Bill Wyman calls it the “final Farewell-Good-bye-I’m-Retiring-I-Really-Mean-It Tour.” Here was John’s first hit from 1970:

John is married to Canadian David Furnish – they met in London in 2005 when Furnish was working at an ad agency. They entered into a civil partnership in 2005 and in 2014, when England legalized same-sex marriage, they officially wed and now have two sons. In 2005, one of John’s early mentors and former roommates, legendary British blues rocker Long John Baldry died in Vancouver, where he had lived for 25 years. Elton, who was Reginald Dwight when he played keyboards with Baldry’s band Bluesology in the 1960s, credited Baldry for convincing John (they were both gay), at the last minute, not to marry a woman in the 1970s. John wrote this song about how Baldry saved him that night:

This movie did a beautiful integration of an Elton John song:

Almost Famous was written by Cameron Crowe. It’s an autobiographical account of his early years, being a 15-year-old music critic writing for Rolling Stone magazine and touring in 1973 with bands such as the Allman Brothers – called Stillwater in the movie. The movie clip ends with his college-professor mother Elaine, played by Frances McDormand, telling her class: “Rock stars have kidnapped my son.” Crowe’s mentor in the movie is music critic Lester Bangs, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. They have a phone conversation about how uncool they are – “not like good-looking people,” Bangs explains.
