"In early February, Adam Lambert made waves after he stopped mid-show to admonish audience members who laughed inappropriately during a performance of “#Cabaret” on #Broadway. Lambert explained his position during a Monday interview on “The View,” arguing that the themes of #antisemitism within the classic #musical are nothing to laugh at today."

TheWrap · Adam Lambert Explains Why He Shushes Broadway-Goers Who Laugh at 'Cabaret' Jew Joke"I just looked at the audience, and said, 'No, no, no, no, This isn't comedy. Pay attention," he tells "The View"

Picture from last night, in my dressing room, as I was waiting to sing “You’ll never walk alone” from the musical Carousel by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II at the New Year's reception of the Darmstadt 98 sports club, also called “Die Lilien”.

For some reason, that’s a football anthem!?! Gotta love them for picking a work by Jews! Go Lilien!

"What sometimes gets forgotten amid the myriad horrors of the #Shoah (Hebrew for #Holocaust) is the systematic obliteration of entire cultures. #Shtetls (#Yiddish for 'small towns') with predominantly, or entirely, #Jewish populations were scattered across the east. In a world in which pogroms might flare up and result in massacres, these communities provided relative security out of which all kinds of cultural expression might flourish. Core to them was often a rich #musical life, with the #violin at its core. This playlist seeks to commemorate that heritage."

Erez Zobary spent a long time downplaying her #Jewish identity in her #music career. Her earlier work—a blend of R&B, pop, soul and jazz—dealt with issues relevant to her audience of largely twentysomethings: love lives, quarter-life crises, feeling stuck and aimless. It may not be surprising, then, that a woman whose songs so often looked inward would eventually turn to her heritage. As she tells Culturally Jewish, The CJN’s arts and culture podcast, her #songs began feeling increasingly disconnected from who she really was, and she wanted to try something drastically different.

The result is Erez, her new #album, which dives deep into her #Yemenite family history—specifically her grandmother’s escape from #Yemen to #Israel as part of #OperationMagicCarpet. Zobary joins the show to explain her process and backstory, and to share how she feels releasing an album with #MiddleEastern #musical flourishes, covered in #Hebrew writing, just one year after #Oct7.

Black Beauty

Black Beauty is one of my new toys. I usually save most of my pocket money for camera gear but I have wanted to upgrade to a hollow body electric guitar for a long time.
I stopped in at a music store recently and saw this beautiful Peavey JF-1 on sale. I picked it up and lightly strummed her for a short time. I ended up leaving the store with her.
