American Horror Story Coven: Fiona Goode - Type 8w7

Fiona is intelligent, power-hungry, ruthless and sophisticated. She is the former Supreme of the Coven and desperately tried to hold onto the power that came with being Supreme.

At her best, Fiona does care deeply about Cordelia, even though she doesn’t always show it. For example, when she discovers that Cordelia is the next Supreme she can’t bring herself to kill her because she does love her. She also tries to teach the Coven how to protect themselves and saves them when they are in trouble. For example, she saves Queenie from the Minotaur.

At her worst, Fiona becomes all-consumed with maintaining her power and goes to drastic measures to ensure she stays Supreme. For example, she kills Madison because she thinks she is the next Supreme and wants to absorb her power. She also tries to maintain her vitality in many different ways such as crazy medical procedures. She also sacrifices Nan to Papa Legba in an attempt to gain immortality.

Fiona always believed that she needed to be strong to survive in the world. We can see this as Fiona prefers the witches in the Coven that are brave and can protect themselves (like Madison), over the more emotional or weak witches (like Zoe). When Fiona found out she had cancer, she started to feel powerless and like her greatest fear was coming to fruition.

Fiona is very skilled at manipulating others to do what she wants. For example, she is able to use the Axeman to do her bidding on multiple occasions. Fiona has no qualms about using others for her own gain, and will stop at nothing to ensure she maintains her power. Fiona also decides to team up with Marie Laveau for her own survival and to gain more power.

8s are often very good in leadership positions, as they are able to take control and make decisions. Fiona, for all her faults, was a competent leader of the Coven. She was able to devise plans and eliminates threats to the Coven, showing that she did care about the well-being of the other witches.

Fiona shows her wing 7 as she is very impulsive and sensation-seeking. She is also more sociable, self-confident and charismatic than an 8w9 would be.

Tri-type: 8w7 - 3w2 - 7w8

Some quotes to describe Fiona’s motivations

"The point is, in this whole, wide, wicked world...The only thing you have to be afraid of is me."

“I'm Fiona Goode. I'm in charge everywhere.”

“She would have made a lousy Supreme and that's something this Coven can't afford at this moment in history. It's my duty to stay vital.”

“You girls need to learn to fight. When witches don't fight, we burn."

"This coven doesn't need a new Supreme. It needs a new rug."

“I’m a wretched human being. A miserable, mean goddamn b***h. I always have been”

“Here’s my other offer. You can all just die”

"You know, I've gotta hand it to you. A bus flip? That's not easy. But you were sloppy, little witch bitch."

"Don't make me drop a house on you."

“Tonight I'm going to let the whole world in and get a good look at me. Who's the baddest witch in town?”

Fiona: “You know why I got a female attack dog?” Hank: “Because b*****s stick together?” Fiona: “Because females are more loyal and aggressive when it comes to protecting their families.”

The Pantheon of the Uruk-hai

and of course by uruk-hai I am speaking of all orckind as they named themselves in the sole language to survive their apparently total extinction.

Ur-furzuk the Maker, the Inverse Crown, the God Who Bleeds, the Allhob: called Morgoth by the elves and Melkor in origin, Ur-Furzuk is a terrifying figure to the uruk. They prefer to call him First or Firstborn (of God) in deferential acknowledgment that he was rightful heir to the throne of the world. Such deference was wise for the uruk-hai feared their Maker with the desperation of a hunted man. It was said those who fell under the gaze of his ire were burned to ash and all feared to meet their dread commander in his Thousand Iron Hells. All the uruk scriptures state without illusion that they were made to fight for the Firstborn's inheritance and it appears ancient uruk-hai accepted this responsibility with pride. They believed without doubt Ur-furzuk was supreme in all things, that he would slay the usurpers, the elfgods, and all the lights in the sky. He would gift his children an unlit world over which he would reign eternal. Of course, worship of the Firstborn was rare in the Second Age and rarer still in the Third; their records of the War of Wrath simply state that those elf-gods finally declared true war against their elder and though they were all slain in the attempt, Ur-furzuk also fell. Despite his pyrrhic victory, reverence for their Maker also fell and precipitously - the uruk-hai had few thoughts to spare the dead in their brutal lives. An interesting consequence of losing their generative deity on uruk religion and psyche, the uruk-hai have already lived through their Dagor Dagorath. All their metaphysics, all their prophecies were *proved* false. Fatalism, nihilism, and individualism are thus popular philosophies and may have severely undermined the uruk's subsequent discipline for war for generations to come. Ur-furzuk lingers in the uruk imagination as a figure of strength, the greatest truth upon which to make oaths, and a melancholy promised paradise lost. They called him the God who Bleeds for of all the gods, only he had the uruk spirit to fight his own wars, and it was from his blood that the uruk-hai were made. Why they did not know is true name is unknown. Perhaps Morgoth forbid his lieutenants from revealing it to them, perhaps his name was considered blasphemy to speak or maybe only to record.

Gorthaur the Dead, Sauron the Eye, Lord of Terror, the Machine, Master Mairon: though primitive uruk records and two nursery songs accurately name him Mairon, the uruk-hai quickly adopted Gorthaur from the Sindar and in the Third Age Sauron from the Dúnedain for the same reason: the sheer unreasoning terror his name could strike in their enemies. In the First Age Gorthaur was called King of Warlocks and all the uruk priests and scholars studied under his domain. These uruk-hai, as well as any common soldier garrisoned under his command, were feared as cannibals and kidnappers, and to all others only their Maker was more terrible than the Lord of Terror. It was said he was a vampire that drank the blood of a hundred elves every day but if the war went badly (no doubt due to uruk failure) he would be forced to feed on them instead. Following his reemergence after the War of Wrath, uruk doctrine on Sauron is split. Independent or distant tribes denounced Sauron as a pretender or at least a pretender to the Maker's throne. After all, if Ur-furzuk could not survive against the elves, how could his vassal? Those that fell under his thrall however came to see him as a force of endless creation. It appears nearly all of Mordor was converted by the raising of Barad-dûr - a feat utterly beyond the artistry of even the elves. Any hold-outs within his country and for many miles abroad were won using his Ring. To the uruk-hai its power was like a call joyous to answer. Sauron told them he alone had survived the War of Wrath and now there were none who could oppose his claim to the throne of the world. Likely uncertain he could ever assail Valinor, Sauron did not promise to murder the sun and the stars but instead promised the uruk-hai a perfect system in which they would finally reign as the master race. To the uruk-hai, this made perfect sense for they were mightiest and purest and bravest - dubious claims to be sure but not exactly surprising. In fact, everything Sauron said made sense and he eventually occupied the role of divine Truth in their minds. When Sauron held the One, his uruk-hai fought with savage ferocity that never quailed unless a soldier happened to find himself alone against multiple foes. Without the One, however, they reverted to their pack mentality and Sauron was forced to teach them basic tactics. He also began breeding them for strength and size. His fall in the War of the Last Alliance seems to have strengthend the divide between his cynics and his devotees, for the Witch-king of Angmar, later known to be the chief of the Nazgûl, convinced many tribes of Sauron's victory over death. Indeed, when he returned, even without the Ring the hosts that hearkened to his banner were without number. It is unknown what effect his ultimate defeat had on the uruk religion, for King Elessar I razed all existing uruk-hai nations to the foundations and if anything of their culture survived, it is lost to us.

Kosomot the Storm, Prince of Hell, the Axeman: known to the elves as Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs and High Captain of Angband, the uruk-hai believed Kosomot to be the son and heir of Ur-furzuk. It's unknown if this was intentionally cultivated by Morgoth or if it was a reflection of the presence he commanded on the battlefield. Kosomot, along with Boldog, was one of the only uruk gods to take the field and wherever he went victory followed. Unlike Ur-furzuk, Kosomot was a strength and valour that could be admired as well as feared. Extensive elven records exist on Gothmog so some concrete facts can be reported: Kosomot manifested at seventeen feet in height and burned with a heat great enough to melt elf-steel at close proximity. Like all balrogs, Gothmog utilized a flaming whip, probably to drive the barely sapient trolls of the First Age. His weapon was a single bladed axe of pure Utumno iron - many Eldarin lives were lost together in a single swing of that dread instrument. The uruk-hai report bloody civil wars occured between Kosomot and Gorthaur in which thousand of their lives would be traded for simple favor for the victor from Ur-furzuk. When Ecthelion of Gondolin slew and was slain in turn by Gothmog, he became a messianic figure for the uruk-hai for by his death the last of their enemies had fallen. He persisted following the War of Wrath as the pagan mannish gods do - as a superstitious name to give simple virtues.

Boldog the Soldier, Big Brother Boldog, the Big Bad Boldog: known as Makar the Brawler in Valinor, for a long time it was unknown if this Ainu went over to Morgoth's service or simply marauded about the Middle-earth. Now it is known that he indeed joined in Morgoth's rebellion for the love he held the uruk-hai, a people so alike to his nature that despite having no great loyalty to Morgoth he could not resist joining in their struggles. Indeed, Boldog - old orkish for "uncle" - seems to be the only deity of the uruk pantheon for which they have true affection and not least because of the affection the Boldog has for them. He called them "little brothers" and gave them what is arguably the most foundational and lasting aspect of their being: their love of combat. He was a constant presence in their lives and fought in all the wars and many raids. Because of his fundamental nature, Makar could suffer wounds that would have slain any other self-incarnate. Many times did Boldog fall in battle only to be mistakenly left for dead by the elves who could not tell this maia apart from regular, if exceptionally fit, uruk-hai. Tellingly, the death of Boldog is not recorded in any uruk scripture and in fact it is believed he raids still in some far-off country with his little brothers.

The Rioter, Wolf of Truth, Unknown Watcher: sister-spirit of Makar, Meássë's presence was deduced/assumed by the revelation of his identity as Boldog. The Rioter served a complex role as the goddess of deception, and as such was responsible for espionage, propaganda, and surveillance. The Rioter was feared almost as much as Gorthaur and Ur-furzuk for she was not met unless it was to accuse you of a capital crime. There is some evidence that Meássë was often abroad among the ancient tribes of Men, stirring up discord against the elves and one another. She is presumed slain in the War of Wrath.

Lungorthin the White, the Pale Fire, Lord of Slaves: Lungorthin, lieutenant of Gothmog, was a lord of Balrogs responsible for arming the uruk-hai. Grander projects clearly fell into Sauron's domain but the uruk-hai knew Lungorthin managed their armament and so worshipped him as their god of weapons. As such he also commanded the labor of the many slaves taken into Angband. It is said that of all the Balrogs, Lungorthin burned hottest and so was best suited to to manning the massive forges needed to arm Morgoth’s armies. While some artistry is evident in the earliest examples of uruk weaponry, their inability to match the Ñoldor on the battlefield quickly converted Lungorthin to a philosophy of mass production. It is worth wondering how Lungorthin felt about this station. It seems apparent the uruk-hai were loathed by most of their masters and being charged with seeing to their needs with cheap goods must have been galling. Indeed, many little morality tales seem to be about disobedient snagae falling into the fire of the forge - perhaps this is a reflection of a common occurrence in Angband? Lungorthin is known to have escaped the War of Wrath but he never again emerged in the histories of elves or men.

Âshurz the Grandhob: this figure emerges only after the War of Wrath as a substitute Maker in Ur-furzuk’s absence. However, Âshurz (a formal title meaning “father” as opposed to the more familiar “hob”) does not contradict Ur-furzuk’s place in the uruk-hai pantheon. Indeed, most of the Âshurz Heresy maintains existing scripture except in one key point. It states that uruk-hai were not spawned from Ur-furzuk’s blood but rather bred from elves with the fathers of uruk-hai - the hobgoblins - being former elves themselves. Âshurz is held to be the architect of this transformation. This is a disturbing development for it mirrors the most widely accepted elven theories for the origin of the uruk-hai. Perhaps if the uruk-hai in the east developed this doctrine one might assume they heard it through men who of course would learned it from the elves, but the Âshurz Heresy is almost entirely localized in the northern ranges of the Hithaeglir. Most likely this was always an undercurrent of the uruk-hai religion and merely had room to emerge after the War of Wrath. Âshurz is held to have been Ur-furzuk’s Master Breeder and father of the Úlairi, the Gongs, and even Dragons.

Ulbandi the Ogress, the Crown’s Horns: this figure seems entirely invented in the latter days of the First Age. Ulbandi, sometimes called the Forgotten God, was the bride of Ur-furzuk and mother of Kosomot. She likely served to urukify their otherwise inexplicable Maker and the elves have no records of such a being existing.

AXS TV Acquires Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood’s Interview Series

Press Release

Source: AXS TV

Ronnie Wood

AXS TV, the premier destination for classic rock programming, is bringing a beloved U.K. series stateside as the network presents season one (11 episodes) of The Ronnie Wood Show, making its U.S. debut on Wednesday, July 11.

The program will air two episodes each week back-to-back at 8pE/5pP and 8:30pE/5:30pP respectively, with encore broadcasts every Sunday night at 8pE/5pP and 8:30pE/5:30pP. Hosted by legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, the series gives viewers a unique look into Wood’s award-winning radio show—bringing them behind the scenes and into the studio as he plays the songs that inspired him, shares incredible stories from his prolific career, and sits down for revealing interviews and intimate jam sessions with some of rock’s biggest names.

The season kicks off with a special hour-long premiere event on July 11, that finds Wood joined by rock superstar Paul McCartney, who reminisces about his unparalleled legacy before performing an impressive set list of songs that both powered his career and impacted his life.

During the insightful interview, Woods and McCartney talked about these early influences in their life like Chuck Berry’s poetic “Little Queenie,” Marvin Gaye’s “Hitch Hike,” The Beach Boys “God Only Knows,” which is McCartney’s favorite song by the California band. (In the clip provided above, McCartney shares how emotional it was for him when he was able to sing with Brian Wilson.)

Other notable guests include shock rock pioneer Alice Cooper, who talks about the Detroit rock scene and shares a humorous anecdote about a stage stunt gone wrong (July 18 at 8pE); Wood’s Faces bandmate Ian McLagan, who reflects on the band’s ‘70s heyday, and touches on the newly reunited act’s future plans following their smash hit world tour (July 18 at 8:30pE); Guns N’ Roses axeman Slash, who talks about his lifelong love of music and passion for the guitar (July 25 at 8pE); and Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones, who reveals the meaning behind the hit track “A Thousand Trees” (July 25 at 8:30pE).

Then, the season continues with acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson, who opens up about working with the late Amy Winehouse (August 1 at 8pE); Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie, who recalls meeting Wood at a party at Kate Moss’ house (August 1 at 8:30pE); Mike Hucknall, Wood’s Faces bandmate, who talks about sharing a flat with Jimi Hendrix and being chased around by Janis Joplin (August 8 at 8pE); guitarist Steve Cropper, who reminisces about writing “(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay” with Otis Redding and crafting the trademark “Soul Man” riff (August 8 at 8:30pE); author, model, and Wood’s old flame, Pattie Boyd, who famously inspired the Eric Clapton staple “Layla” (August 15 at 8pE); and Wood’s dear friend Toots Hibbert, who engages in a lively jam session, discusses his career in Jamaica, and shares anecdotes about Bob Marley (August 15 at 8:30pE).

Ronnie Wood and Steve Cropper

“Ronnie Wood is truly one of the most enduring figures in rock and roll,” said Evan Haiman, vice president of music programming and production, AXS TV. “Not only has he helped create some of the greatest songs of all time, he’s also experienced—firsthand—some of the most important moments in music. In this series, he shares these priceless memories with viewers, inviting some of his famous friends along for the ride as he guides us all on the ultimate trip down memory lane.”

As part of AXS TV’s classic rock summer programming lineup, the network also includes a Sunday Night Rocks featuring several notable performances, including guitar maestro Carlos Santana taking the stage at one of the most important and influential concert events of all time in the premiere of Santana Live At The 1982 US Festival on June 10 at 10pE. Then, on July 1 at 9pE, Katie Daryl launches new episodes of the popular countdown series The Top Ten Revealed with a look at rock’s greatest Songs About Sex; other season two highlights include Epic Songs Of ’73 and One Hit Wonders, with notable guests such as Dee Snider, Lita Ford, Eddie Money, and Matt Pinfield, among others. And, at 9:30pE, music guru Eddie Trunk kicks off the series premiere of TrunkFest with a trip to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, where he sits down with Southern Rock superstar George Thorogood, and gets schooled in the ways of motorcycle stunts with Doug Danger. Other season one highlights include the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, where Trunk talks to Tom Morello, Taylor Hawkins, and Chuck D; and the Castaway with Southern Ground event, where Trunk meets up with Country chart-toppers Blackberry Smoke and the Zac Brown Band.

Also starting July 1, the network puts the spotlight on eight unforgettable concert events every week at 10pE, opening with Ronnie Wood and The Rolling Stones’ historic 2016 performance in the premiere of Havana Moon: The Rolling Stones Live In Cuba. Other highlights include Paul McCartney – Rockshow (July 8); Volunteer Jam XX: A Tribute To Charlie Daniels (July 15); Guns N’ Roses Live From The O2 (July 22); Brian Setzer’s Rockabilly Riot Osaka Rocka! Live In Japan! (July 29); Twisted Sister – Bang Your Head Festival (August 5); Meat Loaf – Guilty Pleasure Tour (August 12); and Joe Bonamassa: Live From Albert Hall (August 19).

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6 AT 10AM

(Fort Myers, FL) - Guitar superstar JOE SATRIANI is pleased to announce that the 2018 incarnation of his massively popular G3 tour will kick off on January 11, 2018 in Seattle, Washington. Satriani will be joined on the highly anticipated tour by fellow six-string legends JOHN PETRUCCI and PHIL COLLEN.

Tickets for the Friday, February 2 concert will go on sale Friday, October 6 at 10AM at the Box Office, online at www.bbmannpah.com or call 239-481-4849.

“G3 tours are always very exciting, challenging and a lot of fun for me,” says Satriani. “I love any chance I get to stand on stage and play for my fans, but I especially love the crazy jolt I get when I can perform alongside other guitarists I admire. It ups my game, it ups their game, and I know our audiences always get a real kick out of the whole experience.”

John Petrucci has a long history with G3 – the Dream Theater founder and guitar virtuoso made his maiden voyage on the tour in 2001, and the 2018 trek will mark his seventh appearance on the bill. “I always look forward to having John on any G3 tour I do,” says Satriani. “He continues to be one of the most incredible and inspiring guitarists I’ve ever played with, and he never fails to do things on stage that I find utterly jaw dropping. I can only imagine what new surprises he’s got planned for this tour.”

Petrucci echoes Satriani’s effusive praise, calling the guitarist “one of the best and most creative players I’ve ever heard, and I just love him as a person, too.” He looks back at his past six G3 tours with considerable pride, saying, “They’ve been some of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I’ve been able to go all over the world with Joe and other great guitarists, and I’ve been able to expose my fans to another side of me with my solo work. And I think I’ve picked up some new fans along the way – they see me on G3 and then they go out and check out Dream Theater. So it’s exciting in that way, too.”

2018 will see Phil Collen making his debut as a G3er. The venerable guitarist joined Def Leppard in 1982 and has been a key part of their worldwide multi-platinum success story, but he’s rarely stepped out as a solo axeman in his own right. “That’s what’s going to be so interesting and cool,” Satriani notes. “We think of Phil as being this integrated part of Def Leppard, but I recently got a chance to play with him at my latest G4 Experience in California, and I thought he was extraordinary. In my opinion, he’s probably underrated, so I’m looking forward to seeing what he does in his full set on the next G3.”

Says Collen, “Being asked to take part in the G3 tour is a real honor. I’ve been fortunate to have played guitar all over the world for many years, but I’ve never been able to stretch out as a player in the way that this tour will allow me to. And I’m thrilled beyond words to be on a bill with Joe Satriani and John Petrucci. They’re two of the greatest guitarists we have. I’m really looking forward to sharing a stage with them.”

Since its debut in 1996, Satriai’s G3 tour has featured the world’s greatest guitarists (everyone from Steve Vai and Eric Johnson to Steve Lukather and Robert Fripp) and has become a consistent concert hall sell-out attraction in the U.S., South America, Europe, Australia and Japan. “I could say that I’m surprised at the durability of G3 and how much it’s grown, but in a way I’m not,” Satriani says with a laugh. “I think part of its charm and its mojo is in the chemistry of having three top guitarists share what they do on stage. It’s fun, it’s unpredictable, it’s wild – it’s everything you could want in a show.”

My Favorite Album #192 - Kingswood on The Beatles ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ (1967)

Kingswood are one of Australia's hottest rock bands, and I sat down with frontman Fergus and axeman Alex on release day for their new album ‘After Hours, Before Dawn’, to talk about why "everything comes back to the Beatles", studio experimentation, finding their own George Martin, mellotrons, the music teacher that made them appreciate the Beatles and the art of the album and translating dreams into songs, with horrifying results.
