𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐅 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬...
Has three ( in her end game, four ) tattoos :: A cluster of sunflowers along her right shoulder starting in the front and wrapping around to the top/mid of her shoulder blade. Gears cascading from nape of neck to mid back. in somewhat of an ‘s’ pattern ( cause ‘sophiar’ reasons ofc ) A moogle on the outside of her left ankle. at some point ( when Cid gives her full ownership of the garage or after his passing ) she’ll probably get a hammerhead along the outside of right calf. Naturally, NO ONE has seen these tattoos unless they catch her out of uniform in one way or another i.e off-duty outfits... and still, considering she wears boots most of the time and she digs her light flannel, it’s really seldom to none anyone other than close friends or s/o would see them.
Plays guitar and sings :: The guitar is something on her father’s side as he used to be part of a somewhat blue grassy kind of band with Cindy’s mom as lead singer ( that’s how the pair met and fell in louuuurve ) at one point I had her singing voice to fall along the sounds of Cary Ann Hearst but I'm leaning more to Sara Watkins as I re-listen to some of her voice lines... idk maybe a mix of the two x3 she has also dabbled in violin/fiddle playing as well!
Is smart AF :: even tho it’s not completely stated in game ( cause square doesn’t care for fleshing out their own creations sometimes oop ) it’s very clear with all the upgrades to the Regalia that not only is Cindy a remarkably amazing mechanic but a mechanical engineer as well, probably border-lining into advanced engineering with all the innovative shit she can come up with. Yeah, she’s a southern belle bundled up in fanservice, but she’s also a fuking genius! I mean she turned a luxury car into an ATV, BACK into a luxury car and then a MF JET like??!?! Stop devaluing her based on her appearance pls and ty.
Has a coeurl :: Okokok this was something that started in Wire shenanigans but I kinda latched on to it for all her verses. So one day coming back from one of her hikes, Cindy noticed a coeurl cub following her back home. Thinking there’s probably a parent nearby, and wanting none of that smoke, she hightailed it back to the garage and waited..... and waited, then looked out one of the windows to see the cub still very much outside and whining with no angry parental figure around. after considering the options Cindy made a little bed inside the trunk of a junker car on the lot and left out a bowl of discarded meat bits from Takka prepping in the diner. Long story less long; Cindy has a 4-5 month old coeurl named Lexus or Lex for short. He is Cindy’s entire world and as he grows, will be hella protective of his mama. ;u; Adding for continuity sake :: By this time it's safe to say that Lex is around a year and a half to two years old at this point
Random bits and bobs :: Likes spicy foods ( especially curries and ramen ), whiskey, bourbon, sweet tea, reading, ice cream sundaes, mango & strawberry sherbet, rollercoasters, can cook a bomb ass steak, is actually a pretty good cook in general, goes roller skating or paints on her downtime.

ORIGINAL LINER NOTES
John Coltrane is a quiet, powerfully-built young man who plays tenor saxophone quite unlike anyone in all of jazz. His style has been described as "sheets of sound" or as "flurries of melody." But, despite the accuracy, or lack of accuracy, of such descriptions, it is a fact that Coltrane's style is wholly original and of growing influence among new tenor players.
Perhaps he himself best described his dazzling style in a recent Down Beat article with writer Don DeMichael. "I started experimenting because I was trying for more individual development. I even tried the long, rapid lines that Ira Gitler termed 'sheets of sound' at the time. But actually, I was beginning to apply the three-to-one chord approach and at this time the tendency was to play the entire scale of each chord. Therefore, they were usually played fast and sometimes sounded like glisses."
Although Coltrane has absorbed this experiment into his present style and moved on, its effect was shocking, and intriguing, in the jazz world.
Most recently, as this album will attest, Coltrane has become absorbed by the rhythms of Africa. During the editing sessions for this album he noted, "There has been an influence of African rhythms in American jazz. It seems there are some things jazz can borrow harmonically, but I've been knocking myself out seeking something rhythmic. But nothing swings like 4/4. These implied rhythms give variety."
For this record, Coltrane composed two of the three selections, then discussed the orchestration thoroughly with Eric Dolphy, a reed player of enormous talent. Pianist McCoy Tyner of Coltrane's group was the third member of the discussion group.
"Actually," Dolphy recalled, "All I did was orchestrate. Basically John and McCoy worked out the whole thing. And it all came from John; he knew exactly what he wanted. And that was, essentially, the feeling of his group."
AFRICA has an unusual form. Its melody had to be stated in the background because Coltrane is not tied down by chords. "I had a sound that I wanted to hear," Coltrane remarked of this composition. "And what resulted was about it. I wanted the band to have a drone. We used two basses. The main line carries all the way through the tune. One bass plays almost all the way through. The other has rhythmic lines around it. Reggie and Art have worked together, and they know how to give and take." This work began with Coltrane's quartet. He listened to many African records for rhythmic inspiration. One had a bass line like a chant, and the group used it, working it into different tunes. In Los Angeles, John hit on using African rhythms instead of 4/4, and the work began to take shape. Tyner began to work chords into the structure, and, in John's own words, "it's been growing ever since."
The instrumentation--trumpet, four French horns, alto sax, baritone sax, two euphoniums, two basses, piano, drums, and tuba--is among the most unusual in jazz. But, Dolphy explained, "John thought of this sound. He wanted brass, he wanted baritone horns, he wanted that mellow sound and power."
Coltrane heard the playbacks and nodded. "It's the first time I've done any tune with that kind of rhythmic background. I've done things in 3/4 and 4/4. On the whole, I'm quite pleased with Africa."
GREEN SLEEVES is an updating of the old, revered folk song. It's included in this set because Coltrane, in recent months, has been studying folk music. "It's one of the most beautiful folk melodies I've heard," he said. "It's written in 6/8, and we do it just about as written. There's a section for improvisation with a vamp to blow on."
The quartet has been playing this theme recently, and the arrangement is based on Tyner's chords. Dolphy notated it. "For me," Coltrane said, "Greensleeves is the most enjoyable to play. Most of the time we get a nice pulse and groove. It was a challenge to add the band to it. I wanted to keep the feeling of the quartet. That's why we took the same voicings and the same rhythm McCoy comps in."
BLUES MINOR is a piece the quartet has been playing of late. It was assembled at the recording session. "It's a head," Dolphy said. "McCoy gave me the notes. I wrote out the parts, and the band did it on one take." It swings loosely with the ease and drive of a head arrangement.
All in all, this album is representative of the state of musical mind of John Coltrane, 34, on his way to something new and exciting, but pausing along the way to sum up the fresh and provocative work he has accomplished this far.

NASA’s Mars Helicopter to Make First Flight Attempt Mars Helicopter flight delayed to no earlier than April 14. NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is about to make humanity’s first attempt at powered, controlled flight of an aircraft on another planet. If all proceeds as planned, the 4-pound (1.8-kg) rotorcraft is expected to take off from Mars’ Jezero Crater Wednesday April 14, at 12:30 p.m. local Mars solar time (10:54 p.m. EDT, 7:54 p.m. PDT), hovering 10 feet (3 meters) above the surface for up to 30 seconds. Mission control specialists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California expect to receive the first data from the first flight attempt the following morning at around 4:15 a.m. EDT (1:15 a.m. PDT). NASA TV will air live coverage of the team as they receive the data, with commentary beginning at 3:30 a.m. EDT (12:30 a.m. PDT). “While Ingenuity carries no science instruments, the little helicopter is already making its presence felt across the world, as future leaders follow its progress toward an unprecedented first flight,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for science at NASA Headquarters. “We do tech demos like this to push the envelope of our experience and provide something on which the next missions and the next generation can build. Just as Ingenuity was inspired by the Wright brothers, future explorers will take off using both the data and inspiration from this mission.” The Mars Helicopter is a high-risk, high-reward technology demonstration. If Ingenuity were to encounter difficulties during its 30-sol (Martian day) mission, it would not impact the science gathering of NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover mission. Flying in a controlled manner on Mars is far more difficult than flying on Earth. Even though gravity on Mars is about one-third that of Earth’s, the helicopter must fly with the assistance of an atmosphere whose pressure at the surface is only 1% that of Earth. If successful, engineers will gain invaluable in-flight data at Mars for comparison to the modeling, simulations, and tests performed back here on Earth. NASA also will gain its first hands-on experience operating a rotorcraft remotely at Mars. These datasets will be invaluable for potential future Mars missions that could enlist next-generation helicopters to add an aerial dimension to their explorations. “From day one of this project our team has had to overcome a wide array of seemingly insurmountable technical challenges,” said MiMi Aung, Ingenuity project manager at JPL. “And here we are – safely on Mars – on the eve of our first flight attempt. We got this far with a never-say-die attitude, a lot of friends from many different technical disciplines, and an agency that likes to turn far-out ideas into reality.” Anatomy of a First Flight Sunday’s flight will be autonomous, with Ingenuity’s guidance, navigation, and control systems doing the piloting. That’s mostly because radio signals will take 15 minutes, 27 seconds to bridge the 173-million-mile (278-million-kilometer) gap between Mars and Earth. It’s also because just about everything about the Red Planet is demanding. “Mars is hard not only when you land, but when you try to take off from it and fly around, too,” said Aung. “It has significantly less gravity, but less than 1% the pressure of our atmosphere at its surface. Put those things together, and you have a vehicle that demands every input be right.” Events leading up to the first flight test begin when the Perseverance rover, which serves as a communications base station for Ingenuity, receives that day’s instructions from Earth. Those commands will have traveled from mission controllers at JPL through NASA’s Deep Space Network to a receiving antenna aboard Perseverance. Parked at “Van Zyl Overlook,” some 215 feet (65 meters) away, the rover will transmit the commands to the helicopter about an hour later. Then, at 10:53 p.m. EDT (7:53 p.m. PDT), Ingenuity will begin undergoing its myriad preflight checks. The helicopter will repeat the blade-wiggle test it performed three sols prior. If the algorithms running the guidance, navigation, and control systems deem the test results acceptable, they will turn on the inertial measurement unit (an electronic device that measures a vehicle’s orientation and rotation) and inclinometer (which measures slopes). If everything checks out, the helicopter will again adjust the pitch of its rotor blades, configuring them so they don’t produce lift during the early portion of the spin-up. The spin-up of the rotor blades will take about 12 seconds to go from 0 to 2,537 rpm, the optimal speed for the first flight. After a final systems check, the pitch of the rotor blades will be commanded to change yet again – this time so they can dig into those few molecules of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon available in the atmosphere near the Martian surface. Moments later, the first experimental flight test on another planet will begin. “It should take us about six seconds to climb to our maximum height for this first flight,” said JPL’s Håvard Grip, the flight control lead for Ingenuity. “When we hit 10 feet, Ingenuity will go into a hover that should last – if all goes well – for about 30 seconds.” While hovering, the helicopter’s navigation camera and laser altimeter will feed information into the navigation computer to ensure Ingenuity remains not only level, but in the middle of its 33-by-33-foot (10-by-10-meter) airfield – a patch of Martian real estate chosen for its flatness and lack of obstructions. Then, the Mars Helicopter will descend and touch back down on the surface of Jezero Crater, sending data back to Earth, via Perseverance, to confirm the flight. Perseverance is expected to obtain imagery of the flight using its Navcam and Mastcam-Z imagers, with the pictures expected to come down that evening (early morning Monday, April 12, in Southern California). The helicopter will also document the flight from its perspective, with a color image and several lower-resolution black-and-white navigation pictures possibly being available by the next morning. “The Wright brothers only had a handful of eyewitnesses to their first flight, but the historic moment was thankfully captured in a great photograph,” said Michael Watkins, director of JPL. “Now 117 years later, we are able to provide a wonderful opportunity to share the results of the first attempt at powered, controlled flight on another world via our robotic photographers on Mars.” More About Ingenuity The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was built by JPL, which also manages this technology demonstration project for NASA Headquarters in Washington. It is supported by NASA’s Science, Aeronautics, and Space Technology mission directorates. NASA’s Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley and NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, provided significant flight performance analysis and technical assistance. At NASA Headquarters, Dave Lavery is the program executive for the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter. At JPL, MiMi Aung is the project manager and J. (Bob) Balaram is chief engineer. JPL, which is managed for NASA by Caltech in Pasadena, California, built and manages operations of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter.

Doorlock Holmes: Ah, hm, right! Where are the wagons?
Bugs: The wagon is too slow. Can't you ride? [Watkins grimaces, hesitatingly]
Dr. Watkins: It's n-n-not that he c-c-can't ride. H-h-how is it you p-p-put it, Holmes?
Doorlock Holmes: They're dangerouths at both ends and crafty in the middle. Why would I want anything with a mind of its own bobbing about between my legs? Then I should require a bithcycle, thank you very much! It's 1891! Could have chartered a jet! [He stalks off; Watkins turns to Bugs]
Dr. Watkins: H-h-how can we make this more m-m-managea-mangagea-uh-a little easier?
[Cuts to the group travelling on horses through the woods, followed by Holmes - who is riding a little pony!]
Doorlock Holmes: Where's the fire?

Kidnapping.
(7 trigger warning for: kidnapping of actual kids, specifically Malcolm when he was younger, kidnapped by Watkins/Watkins being a creep)
---
Sometimes when Martin took Malcolm camping, they actually went camping.
It was a nice escape from the city that afforded Martin some alone time with his son. Malcolm was his pride and joy and he treasured the moments they spent fishing on the docks listening to Malcolm talk for hours about his day or what interested him that week. In retrospect, he was probably scaring off the fish, but Martin could always buy a hefty sized trout on the way home, promising Malcolm he would keep it from Jessica and Ainsley as their little secret.
It was a calm afternoon at the dock that day, when Malcolm came running back from their campsite. Martin had his line cast in the water, the lure bobbing evenly with the ripple of the tide.
“Hey dad, there’s a man at our campsite that says he knows you.”
Martin furrowed his brow and looked past his son. He couldn’t see anyone behind the thick cut of trees. They had parked the car 50 yards inland, close enough he should have been able to see who his son was referring to. Which meant, whoever it was, wanted to remain unseen.
Martin smiled at his son. “Did he say what his name was?”
Malcolm scrunched up his face as he thought back to the encounter, then shrugged. “Nope. He had a funny beard and mustache though and said you guys worked together but not at the hospital.”
“He did, did he?” Martin kept his calm composure. If there was one thing, he was good at, it was schooling his emotions. “Why don’t you stay here and I’ll go talk to him?”
Malcolm nodded and resumed his spot at the dock. He picked up his father’s fishing pole and played with the reel. Time passed and he started to get bored, waiting for Martin to return. He glanced back at the trees then back at the water again. He wished his dad would hurry up, he didn’t like siting by himself.
When he looked back at the forest of trees, he saw the man approaching. Alone. When he got closer, Malcolm shouted impatiently, “Where’s my dad?”
The man smiled at Malcolm and he thought it was funny how the top of his smile disappeared into his mustached. It reminded him of a fuzzy caterpillar resting on his lip.
“Your dad invited me to come fishing with you two. I hope you don’t mind. My name is Paul, what’s yours?”
“Malcolm,” he replied, then after a second, he amended the statement: “Malcolm Whitley.”
“It’s very nice to meet you Malcolm.”
By this time, Paul had stopped walking and stood above Malcolm on the dock. Malcolm had to squint against the sun as he spoke to Paul. He was much taller than Malcolm was, but a very slender man.
Malcolm fidgeted with the reel and there was a moment of silence between the two.
“So where’s my dad?” he repeated.
“Well,” Paul put his hands on his hips and turned toward the forest. “Your dad had to go get more bait if I was going to go fishing with you two. But he told me to go and get us some snacks. Except,” Paul looked back at Malcolm with a puzzled expression, “I don’t know how he expects me to do that and leave you here. Strangers could come and get you.”
“Strangers?”
“Yep, you never know what kind of weird people could be lurking in the forest, waiting to snatch you up. How about this, I’ll drive to the nearest gas station and pick us up some snacks, and you come with me? I’ve got my RV parked just over there.”
Malcolm followed the direction Paul was pointing. He couldn’t see the RV, but he couldn’t see his campsite either. The trees were thick with summer foliage.
“But aren’t you a stranger?”
Paul pretended to be hurt by this accusation. “Malcolm, I already told you I’m friends with you dad. Plus we introduced ourselves, so we’re not strangers anymore. We’re just going to get some snacks. We’ll be back before your dad even misses us. Come on, what’s your favorite snack?”
“I like Twizzlers?”
Paul jabbed a finger at his chest and raised his eyebrows “Me too! That’s my favorite!”
Malcolm giggled and reeled his line in. He would only be a few minutes, he reasoned. He would be back before his dad even noticed and he could bring him some snacks too.
Paul opened the passenger side door for Malcolm and helped him climb the tall steps. After clamoring inside the vehicle, Malcolm looked behind him at the interior. He’d never been inside an RV before. It was plain but very spacious compared to all the other cars he’d been in before. Paul climbed into the driver’s side door and turned the engine.
Paul had been right about the nearest gas station. It was only a few minutes away. But as they approached it, Malcolm noticed Paul wasn’t slowing down at all. He looked at Paul for an explanation.
“Oh that one’s closed after 5:00.”
“But it’s only 4:30?”
“And? The folks inside have to have a little time to close the store. They have to sweep and mop, restock the shelves, count the money inside the register. We don’t want to get in their way while they’re trying to clean up. That would be rude.”
Malcolm stared at the store from the sideview mirror. “Oh… I guess so.”
“Don’t worry Malcolm. I know a store that’s just a few miles up the road. We’ll get some Twizzlers and be back in a jiff.”
Malcolm never paid any attention when his parents drove around town. He didn’t know which direction home was, let alone the nearest store. He quickly realized it was a lot farther than he’d thought when five minutes passed, then ten, then fifteen, and still no store. Finally, they pulled into a gravel parking lot and parked the RV. Paul got out on his side then opened the door for Malcolm and ushered him inside.
“Alright, you go grab the snacks, I’m going to see if they have a bathroom I can use.”
“Okay.” Malcolm walked past the aisles of magazines and beer and strait toward the candy aisle. He grabbed two packs of Twizzlers, one for him and one for Paul, then considered what his dad might like. He was deciding between a Snickers bar and a Reece’s Cup when he felt a hand on his shoulder roughly turn him around.
“Malcolm, I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”
“Dad? Paul said you were getting us some more bait so he could go fishing with us?”
Martin looked frantic. His eyes were wild, he’d clearly been sweating, and there was just a little bit of dried blood under his nose.
He forced a smile.
“I’m afraid we can’t go fishing with Paul anymore. Come on,” he grabbed Malcolm’s hand and pulled him toward the door, “the car’s parked out front.”
Martin had an iron grip on Malcolm’s hand, making Malcolm drop his candy. “You’re hurting me,” he complained, but Martin didn’t seem to notice as he shuffled Malcolm out the door. Seated inside their car, Malcolm hurried with the keys and turned the ignition, checking his rearview mirror every other second. Malcolm followed his father’s gaze and stared into the mirror.
Looking back at him was Paul, standing in the gas station entrance, about thirty feet back. He wasn’t trying to stop them. He just stood and watched. Before they sped out of the parking lot, Malcolm noticed Paul had something clutched in his hand.
A bag of Twizzlers and a small pocket knife.

𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐅 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬...
has three tattoos :: sunflowers ( i would say like a cluster of four ) blooming across her right shoulder; starts in the front then wraps around to the top/mid of her shoulder blade. a set of five gears along her spine in somewhat of an ‘s’ pattern ( cause ‘sophiar’ reasons ofc ) a moogle outside her left ankle. at some point ( when Cid gives her full ownership of the garage ) she’ll probably get a hammerhead tattoo somewhere. naturally NO ONE has seen these tattoos unless they catch her out of uniform in one way or another i.e off duty outfits... and still, considering she wears boots most of the time and she digs her light flannel, it’s really seldom to none anyone other than close friends or s/o would see them.
plays guitar and sings :: the guitar is something on her father’s side as he used to be part of a somewhat blue grassy kind of band with cindy’s mom as lead singer ( that’s how the pair met and fell in louuuurve ) at one point i had her singing voice to fall along the sounds of cary ann hearst but i’m leaning more to sara watkins as i re-listen to some of her voice lines... idk maybe a mix of the two x3 she has also dabbled in violin playing as well!
is smart AF :: even tho it’s not completely stated in game ( cause square doesn’t care for fleshing out their own creations sometimes oop ) it’s very clear with all the upgrades to the regalia that not only is cindy a remarkably amazing mechanic but a mechanical engineer as well, probably border-lining into advanced engineering with all the innovative shit she can come up with. yeah she’s a southern belle bundled up in fanservice, but she’s also a fuking genius! i know i’ve touched a little on this before buuuuut... yeah.
has a coeurl bb :: okokok this was something that started in wire shenanigans but i kinda latched on to it for all her verses. so one day coming back from one of her hikes, cindy noticed a coeurl cub following her back home. thinking there’s probably a parent nearby, and wanting none of that she hightailed it back to the garage and waited..... and waited, then looked out one of the windows to see bb coeurl still very much outside and whining with no teethy & zappy parental figure around. after considering the options cindy made a little bed inside the trunk of a junker car on the lot and left out a bowl of discarded meat bits from Takka prepping in the diner. long story less long; cindy has a 4-5 month old coeurl named lexus or lex for short. he is cindy’s whole ass world and as he grows, will be hella protective of his mama. ;u;
random bits and bobs :: likes spicy foods ( especially curries and ramen ), whiskey, bourbon, sweet tea, reading, ice cream sundaes, mango & strawberry sherbet, rollercoasters, can cook a bomb ass steak, is actually a pretty good cook in general, goes roller skating or paints on her downtime.
#i was only expecting this to be#a short and sweet kinda thing#but mama went OFF x3#⚙ ; 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬 :: Just lil ol’ me.

Dylan and Miles et al: How Much More Can you Take? Part Two.
So Miles and Bob are linked through their long association with the CBS behemoth.
I’d now like to float a comparison between the Grateful Dead and Charlie Parker, if that’s ok.
The meat of both these ‘acts’ was in the live stuff (whilst also saluting their considerably wonderful studio accomplishments). The Dead were obsessive tapers and were obsessively taped (most of their live appearances over some 30 years, 1965-1995, were preserved). Parker had Dean Benedetti’s OCD mindset and tape machine working for his legacy, preserving hundreds of his solos, whilst leaving out his fellow musicians as being somehow ‘surplus to requirements’. At least Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Micky Hart, Tom Constantin and Bill Kreutzman were left to speak for themselves, without any ‘authorial intrusions’ from the likes of Benedetti and Macero. For better or worse. The Dead were only the most prolific of many bootlegged bands by the mid-70s, and I remember the likes of the Allman Brothers (At Watkins Glen), Led Zeppelin (Live at Blueberry Hill) and Little Feat (Electric Lycanthrope), for example, offering high-quality illegal (that sheer frisson of illegal naughtiness!!) product that enhanced the relative paucity of these band’s official output at the time. This all seems so quaint now, when quality/quantity control seems to have gone out of the window. (The Allmans, Zep and Feat arguably had about 5 great albums in ‘em, the rest being mostly just filler?) Of course, you had The Who (Live at Leeds) and Frank Zappa (Live at the Fillmore ‘71) saluting the bootleg format, and acknowledging it’s importance, through their vinyl cover art. Even Punk got into the act - The Stooges Metallic K. O. and The Sex Pistols many illegal tapings, including the tastefully-titled (and no doubt ‘transgressive’) We’ve Cum for Your Children. (”Never trust a hippie”?? Hmm...)
Charlie Parker had around 15 years, the Dead around 20, to stake their claims for immortality. The vast bulk of their recordings are live, of varying provenances and quality (only obsessives and completists need apply). Miles Davis recorded across SIX decades (1945-1991), as has Bob Dylan (1961-2020), with the latter now entering his SEVENTH unparalleled decade of achievement with Rough and Rowdy Ways in 2020. Duke Ellington was another ‘sixer’ (1924-1974), and it’s difficult to find any remaining longitudinal masters who are still producing significant work today (Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell in the jazz/improv world, but none that I can think of in that of rock music, apart from Dylan and, perhaps, Nick Cave?). Let’s thus be thankful for the creative generosity of our surviving elders, despite the rapacity of record companies and the bewildering amount of ‘product’, past and present, that continues to be set before our eyes.

AFC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP
Titans @ Chiefs
Chiefs fans may have sweated a little after the Titans jumped out to a 10-0 lead on a 4-yard touchdown run by RB Derrick Henry.
But just like last week in the divisional round, the Chiefs would come barrelling back with their high-flying offense with touchdowns by WRs Tyreek Hill (2) and Sammy Watkins (1) and RB Damien Williams (1). QB Patrick Mahomes also contributed a spectacular touchdown run, bobbing and weaving through half the Titans' defense on a 27-yard run, giving the Chiefs the boost they needed as they took the lead 24-17 just before halftime.
The Chiefs will represent the AFC in this year's Super Bowl on Feb. 2. When did the Chiefs last play in the Super Bowl? It was SB IV in 1970, when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings, 23-7.

Lucille Ball: Paying It Forward
In 1951, when Lucille Ball finally became the producer instead of the produced, she was able to hire many of the actors she worked side by side with in films since 1933. Here’s a look at Lucille Ball’s film career and the actors that later worked for Lucille Ball on her sitcoms.
Note: This list only includes actors who appeared on programs that Lucille Ball herself produced and appeared in, not other Desilu or LBP (Lucille Ball Productions) projects. The list also does not include Lucille Ball’s TV films, like “Stone Pillow”.

New fall shows
So there were a number of TV festivals and events here in New York over the last few weeks and I wound up seeing the pilots of a number of the new shows (like 13 of them). So, with the US TV season starting next week, here's what I thought of what I saw.
ABC:
Emergence is really well acted. Allison Tolman plays a Long Island police chief who finds a young girl (Alexa Skye Swinton) as the sole survivor of a plane crash. When odd government forces – official and unofficial – try to take custody of the girl, Tolman, her father (Clancy Brown), ex-husband (Donald Faison) and their daughter (Ashley Aufderheide) all fight to protect the girl. While the acting is great, there is a "plot twist" at the end that has me thinking if they're doing this in the pilot, what are they doing next week? May give it a second episode but like Manifest, I'm worried about where this is going.
Stumptown is great. Cobie Smulders plays Dex Parios, an Afghanistan War vet with issues. She lives in her hometown Portland with her developmentally disabled brother in their childhood home. She has a best friend, a dead fiancé with a powerful family, a running joke of a car and some PTSD issues. There's nothing new here except it is a woman with issues trying to make her way in the P.I. business instead of a man but it is really well done. The supporting cast is strong with Jake Johnson, Michael Ealy, Camryn Manheim, Cole Sibus and Tantoo Cardinal.
CBS:
Bob Hearts Abishola is the typical Chuck Lorre comedy where there is a little heart and some fart jokes. Folake Olowofoyeku is terrific as Abishola. You'll learn more about socks than the average sock wearer probably needs but hey – learning is good.
Evil sort of taped into all my good X-Files feelings. He's a believer, she's based in science, they team up to find the truth. I'm there. It does not hurt that Mike Colter is the believer. Katja Herbers is really strong in the non-believer role. The two work with Aasif Mandvi and against Michael Emerson. Christine Lathi shows up the mom of Herbers's character, Kurt Fuller from Supernatural is there as Herbers's shrink. Concerns about what they're doing next week are there but the way the case was resolved makes me think the producers are not picking sides (in The X-Files, Mulder was always right).
The Unicorn took Walton Goggins, who was a villain in not one but two of my favorite programs - The Shield and Justified - and made him into a charming, likable leading man. Goggins’s character is a widower, a year after his wife’s death, doing his best to run his gardening business and raise his two teenage daughters. He has help from two couples who are longtime family friends who want Goggins’s character to start living for himself. It sounds like another dead wife show but it has real depth. It also has a great cast around Goggins with Rob Corddry and Michaela Watkins as one of the couples. Omar Benson Miller and Maya Lynne Robinson are the other couple (and Robinson is great). Since I lost LIfe in Pieces, I’m giving this one a spin.
CW:
Batwoman fits right in with the whole Arrowverse world. Ruby Rose as Kate Kane is a stunning screen presence. Demands attention in every scene even when she's just standing in the background. Dougray Scott plays Kate's father. There are family conflicts, crime in Gotham, missing family members and the Batman vibe without the Caped Crusader actually appearing. I've been out of the Arrowverse for a while – the time travel baby Sarah is now baby JJ stuff had me check out – but this is a good way to return.
Katy Keane is the anti-Riverdale in a really great way. Sunny, happy, positive – this is a "making it in the big city" (with the big city being a real place – New York) story for four young folks interested in fashion (Katy), singing (Josie from Josie & the Pussycats), performing (Jorge/Ginger) and sports (K.O.). There are ups and downs for everyone with rivals all around but these are characters that are easy to root for. This show isn't targeted at me as I am old but it is really cute.
Nancy Drew is Riverdale 2.0 in a not so great way. Dour, depressing and physically dark – the program is about yet another dead young woman and the town full of secrets. Been there, seen this going back to the original Twin Peaks.
FOX:
I don't know who thought Almost Family was a good idea but I did not one. Brittnay Snow is the daughter of world-renowned fertility doctor Timothy Hutton. As Hutton's character is getting a lifetime achievement award, a reporter asks about fraud at his clinic. Seems Hutton was providing more than just medical treatment at the clinic – he was providing biological material. Some of this is played for laughs, some of it played as jealousy between friends. It is just tone-deaf about what a violation this is (and an early season Law & Order episode). They push how great it is only child Brittnay Snow has all these siblings! Not good.
Prodigal Son has serial killer Michael Sheen helping his FBI Profiler son Tom Payne solve crimes. Lou Diamond Phillips shows up. I'm in as this is my type of show.
NBC:
Bluff City Law has Jimmy Smits as a civil rights/victim rights lawyer in Memphis whose estranged daughter Catlin McGee works for big corporations. After a family tragedy, the two team up in Smits law firm. Based on the pilot, it looks like there is a case of the week (high school gardener dying of cancer after using certain pesticides) and what looks like a season long case (high school teacher serving life for killing a student who he didn't actually kill). The performances are fine but this seems likes season one of Bull where every client is innocent/a victim of a big corporation/super sympathetic and our heroes will always find a way to get them justice even if it means bending the rules. Nothing new but nice to see Jimmy Smits again.
Perfect Harmony and Sunnyside have the same basic set up. A person in a position of importance (Bradley Whitford as a Princeton music professor; Kal Penn as a New York city council member) suffer professional fall (Whitford is a prick who threw a chair at a student; Penn is a prick who tried to bribe a cops after at DUI). Wallowing in failure, person accidentally comes across a plucky group who all are working toward a goal (Whitford finds a choir; Penn has a group of green card holders trying to be citizens). While still being mostly awful, person finds some heart working with the rag tag group. There are differences – Whitford's character just lost his wife to cancer and is in competition with John Carroll Lynch's choir, Penn's character lives with his sister, a doctor. But they're the same show.
