#stubb's bbq

[abybweisse]

I saw The Breeders in concert last night, as part of an ACLFEST side show, at Stubb's BBQ. Dave Grohl showed up and joined them onstage for a song.

Afterwords, I realized that Fred Armisen was off to the side, hanging out with Dave and some others I hadn't been able to identify right away. Hell, I didn't realize Amy Poehler was there until I looked at my photos this morning. She's looking right in my direction. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😅

I still haven't identified this lady in the last photo, but I think she's also an actress. I wish I could see more of her face in the photo. I do know that Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were in town for a performance at Bass Concert Hall. I have no idea whether Tina showed up to Stubb's last night, too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't think this is Tina... but who is this?

ETA: And someone on Fb thinks the woman standing under my ❓ looks like Jennifer Aniston. 🤔

Anyway, what a great end to a Friday the 13th! And I want Kim's 👁️ 👁️ eye 👁️ 👁️ shirt 👁️ 👁️!

‘We carried pistols to defend ourselves’: the Four Tops and the Temptations on six decades of soul | Soul | The Guardian

Duke Fakir, the last surviving founding member of the Four Tops, is reminiscing on the halcyon days of Detroit’s seminal soul music label as it made its mark on the 1960s. “Motown really did feel like a big family back then,” he says. “We all hung out, partied, played golf, held BBQs, appeared on one another’s records. Those were amazing times.”

The Temptations’ Otis Williams agrees: “Motown was no happenstance. God brought that up to start. Detroit, Michigan, was known for the big three – General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. Nowthe city’s going to be known as the Big Four because Motown has made a similar impact to those automobile manufacturers.”

Fakir and Williams speak on separate Zoom calls from their respective homes in Detroit and Los Angeles before they set off. Their recollections of the original Motown period speak to their personalities: Fakir possesses a mellifluous voice and often speaks in endearing platitudes; Williams enunciates his philosophical musings in the deepest, gruffest tones imaginable. “We have such loyal fans here – they really know our songs and give us so much love,” says Williams, clearly still excited about the prospect of crossing the pond even after so many trips. Fakir concurs: “Sometimes I think Motown is more popular and appreciated in Britain than in the US.”

Fakir describes that night as “one of the most memorable and magical of my life. … I got chatting to Paul McCartney and he was asking me how we did certain vocal harmonies,” he says. “There were lots of musicians there – members of the Stones and Small Faces and other bands too. Everyone was smoking hash and having a high old time!”

Motown’s legacy in the UK is undeniable to this day, as evidenced by Diana Ross’s triumphant Glastonbury legends performance this year. Both men agree that Ross, like them, can still turn it on. “Berry Gordy’s vision with Motown – the songs, the producers, the artists, the training we all received in how to present ourselves – he was thinking long term,” says Williams. “That’s why Diana and Stevie and the Tops and Temptations are still out here.”

There’s no doubting Gordy’s genius and the durability of Motown’s finest songs. But Williams and Fakir deserve credit for ensuring their groups remain top level draws – especially given that neither were originally the lead vocalists in their respective groups. “I had a long apprenticeship,” says Fakir. “The Tops formed in 1953 and we didn’t score our first hit until 1964 but, during those years, we were busy working clubs across America and, with that, came an understanding of how to make sure things ran smoothly.”

“I learnt how to take care of business because no one else would,” Williams says circumspectly.

But over the years, the internal relationships of the two groups would come to stand in dramatic contrast: the Tops were a band of brothers, the Temptations extraordinarily dysfunctional. “We were friends who worked things out democratically,” says Fakir. It was only cancer – which claimed Lawrence Payton in 1997, Obie Benson in 2005 and the quartet’s mighty lead vocalist Levi Stubbs in 2008 – that diminished a band that formed as teenagers in 1953. “Each of us had his role in the group and we all worked together. We’re only human, so we did have disagreements – but we were a loving unit.”

Love is not a word Williams uses to describe the Temptations: the acrimonious departures of lead vocalists David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks, followed by Paul Williams’ death in 1973, spelt the end of the classic lineup. Other members were fired, or quit following altercations. After Melvin Franklin died of a brain seizure in 1995, it left Otis Williams as the only original member. By then Ruffin, Kendricks and Paul Williams had all died – from an overdose, lung cancer and gunshot, respectively. As we speak, both men regularly thank God for their good health and lengthy careers.

For a hugely successful outfit who created such uplifting music, the Temptations’ story is a tragic one. “Success can test an individual so as to reveal their true self,” Williams says, when asked about why the Temptations were so conflicted, “I hate that there was not enough solidarity for us to hang on in there. I hate that I lost my guys, because we made such an impact on the world. But the one thing that’s constant in life is change. It’s not the guys that go ahead and take the money out and think it’s all about them who always survive. I went through a lot but God in his infinite wisdom left me here to carry on in their spirit.”

Despite the adversity they’ve faced, and the members they’ve lost, both groups are, perhaps improbably, still going strong. Earlier this year, the Temptations released a new album, Temptations 60, marking 60 years since their debut, while Fakir has recently published an autobiography, I’ll Be There: My Life With The Four Tops. Still, both Williams and Fakir seem aware that their days of touring can’t last forever. Williams is 80 while Fakir is 86; the former says he’s in “good shape, so long as God allows”, but the latter is ready to call it a day. “This tour will be my last of the UK,” says Fakir. “I’m planning on retiring in the next year.”

Will the Tops continue without him?

“The Tops will go on forever, just like Motown,” he replies. “This is forever music.”

Find a piece of design and use your caption to describe its denotative meaning.

This book cover that reads “The Guest List” with a stormy castle behind it sets the physical scene for the book. When reading the book which takes place in Ireland, the reader can use the cover to imagine the weather and environment of the story. The title lets the reader know that some sort of event or party will most likely center this story.

Use the same piece of design (can be the same photo or a different photo of the same object) and use your caption to describe its connotative meaning. 

This book cover uses dark colors and stormy, mysterious imagery to foreshadow danger and conflict to come in the book. The note under the title which reads “You’d kill to be on it” adds to the spookiness and elusivity of the book. The use of the word “kill” adds another layer of danger to the book, and foreshadows some type of violence or even murder to come in the book. 

Find a piece of design and describe its iconic function (remember icon/index/symbol from the lecture).

The Spartan head in its iconic function is now mostly used for marketing and branding. The Sparty head is easy to shrink and expand, it can be white and stand out against a dark green background, or vice versa. It is on virtually every piece of University property from sticky notes to sweatshirts. The Sparty head is a recognizable icon that has lasted and will last for so many years to come due to its amazing versatility and flexibility in the marketing space.

Find a piece of design and describe its indexical function.

Sparty himself acts as representation for our school. He is at football games, career fairs, and club meetings always showing up with an incredible energy that represents Michigan State’s spirit. Sparty himself is not as versatile and flexible when it comes to being used as a marketing tool because of his small details and intricacy. Shrinking or expanding Sparty to find different materials is less functional and logical than using the Sparty head. 

Find a piece of design and describe its symbolic function.

The structured, bold sans serif “S '' that represents Michigan State in its symbolic form. The “S '' can not only be a symbol for the State, but it can also be a symbol for Sparty himself. This symbol represents Sparta and Spartans without actually being a graphic of a fighting spartan. This “S” is also commonly used on marketing and advertising materials because of its simplicity and ability to fit many different formats, just like the Spartan head. 

Find a piece of design that references a past “style” and in your caption say what you think the design is trying to signify by its reference to that style (think about the Stubb’s BBQ sauce example).

This bar is Irish-themed, hence the name Dublin Square. They use quintessential gaelic-inspired typeface to embody the medieval highland brand. Inside, there is Guinness decor, old Irish sayings all over the place, and an Irish-themed menu. The brand uses hints of green here and there, as well as traditional clan crests and clover motifs to signify the luck of the Irish. Drinking beer and dancing while having a good time is one of the most Irish pastimes, so this bar tries to create a fun-loving atmosphere that starts with its brand typeface and imagery.

I've never actually had BBQ sauce on chicken nuggets

Maybe I should try that sometime

-@professor-devious

It's pretty good in my opinion, but I'm also pretty biased lol.

Sweet Baby Rayquaza's is a good brand of you want a decent quality for a good price, but Stubb's is a bit better, in my opinion, with a runnier sauce but more flavorful taste.
