What a Girl Wants

-2003 movie starring Amanda Bynes, Colin Firth, Kelly Preston, and Oliver James

Did You Know?
-The boy who plays Ian, Oliver James, is a drummer in the movie and a drummer in real life

Plot
-Daphne Reynolds(Amanda Bynes), a young American girl, has a style all her own. She lives with her uncoventional, but loving Bohemian mother Libby(Kelly Preston) above a Chinese restuarant in New York. She dreams of one day meeting the father she never knew, the man Libby loved long ago. Bound and determined to find him, she does a little internet research and discover's that his aristocratic family found her and her mother unsuitable. So on an impulse, she gets on a flight to London, where she finds her father is a high profile politician named Lord Henry Dashwood(Colin Firth), who has controversially renounced his place in the royal succession to run for the House of Commons. Henry opens his life and social calendar to the daughter he never knew he had, but Daphne's appearance in his society creates a rift that threatens to undermine his career.

-Not wanting to cause trouble, Daphne stifles her vibrant personality, refashions herself as a proper debutante and plunges in to proper British society. Bur when Henry's support, she does not get any help from his conniving fiancee or jealous daughter, who are bent on ruining everything for Daphne. With the help of a society savvy, charming local musician named Ian(Oliver James), Daphne proves that love can truly conquer all. But she soon realizes that she does not like the person she is becoming. As much as she wants to reconnect with her father, she realizes it's not worth it if she can't be herself. Though mostly through interferences from Henry's fiancee during the debutante ball, when she cruelly locks Daphne in a room during the father-daughter dance, she goes back home but not Henry, not before finding Libby's banishment was a plot, created by his fiancee's politically ambitious father. He realizes how much he loves Daphne and goes to find her. He brings Ian with him. The film ends with Daphne's mother officially getting married to Daphne's father. Ian becomes Daphne's boyfriend and she goes to Oxford University so she can be near him.

American Tour 1972

The Rolling Stones

-Highly publicised tour of the US and Canada in June-July 1972

History
-This tour followed the release of the band's Exile on Main St. album.
-This established the band's reputation as purveyor's of raw R&B music, carnal energy and bohemian decadence. They were now being seen as the opposite of the now defunct, family-friendly Beatles.

-At the same time, Mick Jagger was a celeb who moved into the jet set way of life.

Altercations
-On July 13, 1972, police had to block 2,000 ticketless people from trying to enter the show in Detroit. On July 17, a visit to the Montreal Forum resulted in a bomb blowing up in the Stones' equipment van, and replacement gear had to be flown in; 3,000 forged tickets had been sold, causing a riot and a late start to the concert.

-July 18: the Stones got in a fight with photographer Any Dickerman in Rhode Island, and Jagger and Richards landed in jail, causing concern for the show later that night at the Boston Garden. Boston Mayor Kevin White, fearing a riot if the show did not go on, bailed them out.

-Lesser events included Jagger's then wife, jet-setting model Bianca Jagger getting in verbal fights with Anita Pallenberg, who was Keith Richard's companion. Since the Altamont incident, a process server attempted to serve Jagger with papers relating to a lawsuit from the concert. Due to a reported rumor about an assassination attempt on Jagger's life, Richards carried a .38 caliber revolver during the tour.

-The last show, on July 26, Jagger's birthday, was peaceful; a party was held for Jagger by Ahmet Ertegun, which also included Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, Andy Warhol, Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Film releases
-No live albums were made

-But there were 2 films made: Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones, released in 1974

-Robert Frank's Cocksucker Blues is an unreleased documentary depicting the concert footage, along with interaction with Warhol, drug use, Jagger mastrubating, and staged group sex. This movie was shelved as Jagger feared the band could not get work visas.

My New Home.....

Well, after my dad died, me and my sister, along with my mom, started the long and arduous process of moving things out and over to her place. I hate this, I feel like I'm imposing on her, but I think she really appreciates me and my sis doing the housework for her during the day when we're home and she isn't. I think she appreciates that more than anything. And plus, she says that me and her are her comedic amusement, mainly with what we may say, or something we do.

So here are pictures of my "new home", Delhi Township, right outside of Cincinnati, OH.
