Lang and that it inspired him to one day have a property and call it Acquiesce. His wife, Susan, asked where this property would be and he replied, "I don't know, but we'll be surrounded by land, watch the sunrise and sunset and we'll be very happy there." Susan and Rodney had paid more than their fair share of dues after several years of working in the corporate world and raising three boys while having to relocate to five different states. They lived in Europe for a time and Susan fell in love with white Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine, although Châteauneuf-du-Pape has always been known for their red wines. And so, she thought their Acquiesce dream of finding a piece of paradise could also include growing … [Read more...] about The Wine Area In California With The Most Old Vines Makes Concentrated Reds But Also Unique White Wines

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There is no one path to success in the music industry. So the stories can often be unpredictable. Like a band leaving their major label deal behind and then becoming the next big thing in music. Certainly doesn't sound like a blueprint to music stardom. And yet that is exactly the unique road L.A.-based trio MUNA find themselves on. After the trio of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin and Naomi McPherson released their second album, Saves the World , in 2019, the band parted ways with RCA. While that could have been disastrous for some, it has turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to MUNA. The band took the time during the COVID lockdown to reassess who they wanted to be as a group, signed with Phoebe Bridgers' Saddest Factory Records label and just released their brilliant third album, MUNA , this past Friday (June 24). Suddenly the trio have become press darlings and are the next great band in … [Read more...] about Sunday Conversation: Why MUNA Is Music’s Next Great Band

The Rolex Stainless steel chronograph wristwatch, ref. 3525, “Monoblocco” worn by RAF Lt. Gerald Imeson is displayed at Christie’s New York. A Rolex watch worn by a British prisoner during the real-life "Great Escape" from the Nazi Stalag Luft III prisoner-of-war camp sold for $189,000 on Thursday in New York. The final sum for the timepiece, sold to an anonymous buyer, was less than the $200,000 and $400,000 expected by Christie's. The watch was worn by Gerald Imeson on the night of March 24, 1944, when a group of Allied soldiers undertook the daring escape that inspired the 1963 movie starring Steve McQueen. Imeson had ordered the watch from Rolex in Switzerland, who shipped it via the Red Cross to the prison camp near the present-day Polish town of Zagan, Christie's said. The steel watch with a black luminous dial and hands was "instrumental in the planning and execution" of their bid for freedom, the auction house added. Close Christie's said it … [Read more...] about Rolex worn during World War II ‘Great Escape’ sells for $1,89,000 in New York

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Friday that using a private email while she was secretary of state “wasn’t the best choice.” Clinton, in an interview on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” did admit that “it would have been better if I had had two separate accounts to begin with.” (RELATED: Democrat Who Wants To Disband Benghazi Committee Has Attended Just 1 Of 45 Interviews) Andrea Mitchell : First of all, are you sorry? Do you want to apologize to the American people for the choice you made? Hillary Clinton : Well, it wasn’t the best choice. And I certainly have said that. I will continue to say that as I’ve also said many times it was allowed and it was fully above board. The people in the government knew that I was using a personal account. But it would have been better if I had had two separate accounts to begin with, and certainly I’m doing all I can now to try to be as transparent about what I did have on my work-related emails, and I … [Read more...] about Hillary Clinton On Using Private Email: ‘Not The Best Choice’ [VIDEO]
