“Disgusting. Worst experience of my life,” was what Nicolás Jarry of Chile said this week when asked to think back to last year’s rowdy loss at Court Simonne-Mathieu to France’s Corentin Moutet, whose coach had implored the spectators to make life “hell” for Jarry after the two had a contentious meeting in Santiago earlier in the season.
helps to leaven the occasional overripe lyric, such as, “There is no future that can’t be designed/With imagination and a beautiful mind,” in the title track.Most of the material is less New Age-y, and there’s a fascinating desperation in Manson’s positivity. “Chinese Fire Horse,” for example, becomes a punky,
age-defying fist-pumper.“But I’ve still got the power in my brain and my body/I’ll take no (expletive) from you,” she sings.Manson sounds just as defiant singing about a love triangle on “Have We Met (The Void),” or mourning in America on “There’s No Future in Optimism.” The album peaks on the backside with the back-to-back cuts “Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty,” a battle cry in the gender war, and “R U Happy Now,” a ferocious post-election rant.
Then comes the closer, “The Day That I Met God,” a weird and whimsical benedictory mix of horns, strings, faith, pain management and more. Hope and uplift can sound good loud.For more AP reviews of recent music releases, visit:
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus on Friday unveiled four of its newly-delivered Airbus H145 helicopters that officials say are among the most advanced rotorcraft in the word with a proven track record that gives the Cypriot National Guard an operational edge.
The helicopter is currently used by Germany, the U.S. Hungary, Belgium, Ireland and other militaries with over 500 variants currently in operation, logging over 8 million flight hours, according to Cyprus Defense Minister Vassilis Palmas.So begins “Return to Sender,”
22nd installment in a series that inspired a TV show that ran for 6 seasons on A&E and Netflix.Given the size of the desert and the length of time McGowan has been missing, Longmire puts his chances as “not likely.” Going undercover as a postal worker, which fools nobody, he and his dog named Dog head off into the desert in the ancient Travelall and follow the woman’s delivery route.
Johnson is known for creating memorable characters, and perhaps the most memorable this time is Dog, a German Shepherd-Saint Bernard mix who is as smart and loyal as they come. The Travelall emerges as something of a character in its own right, with its quirks and an odd body shape plastered with Flower Power, Grateful Dead, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and Age of Aquarius stickers.Eventually, Longmire discovers McGowan in the clutches of a weird-as-they-come religious cult, shoots it out with its gun-toting members, and commits several remarkable acts of heroism.
