Singertalks about work,love
By Carrie Antlifinger Associated Press Writer
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Sheryl Crow thought that by the time she reached 40 she'd be married and have children. She isn't 'and she doesn't'.
The eight-time Grammy winner has accomplished many of her professional goals — and she's still looking for the right balance between her career and personal life.
"It's important to have love, give love, receive love. I mean that is definitely the fish food, and I've had great relationships, and part of the reason the relationships didn't work out is my career," Crow said while sipping tea at a Milwaukee hotel restaurant
Wearing striped aqua jeans, an aqua T-shirt and a jean jacket, the singer was in town to appear at an outdoor music festival.
She's been promoting the platinum "C'mon C'mon," her first studio album in four years. The Missouri native has released four albums since she burst onto the music scene with 1994's "Tuesday Night Music Club."
Crow, who has a bachelor's degree in voice and piano, has worked with some of the industry's biggest names: Kid Rock, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson and Stevie Nick, for whom she produced five songs on her new album. "C'mon C'mon" features guest vocalists by Don Henley, Lenny Kravitz,
Emmylou Harris and Dixie Chick
Natalia Maine.
She'll be on tour throughout the year, including selected dates opening for the Rolling Stones.
1. How does it feel to work with stars of the '60s and '70s?
Crow: It feels kind of otherworldly, you know what I mean, because I can totally register in my body how it felt to go to the Blakemore drugstore and pick up Cream Magazine and Rolling Stone and just pore over pictures of Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles and Bob Dylan and scrutinize pictures of Led Zeppelin, you know, right down to the tight jeans. It's pretty unbelievable.
2. How has success changed you?
2. How has success changed your life?
Crow: It has become a part of my life I have had to manage. And because of that, my personal life has also become something I have had to manage, which sounds simple, but it's weird when you have to start managing having a life around what you do.
... Like on this last record, I think I just thought I really didn't want to do it anymore because it seemed to me the only thing I had anymore was my career, and it made me not want to do it. But I think that all the growing that you do eventually are going to do anyway, and the circumstances in your life are put into your life to teach you what it is you are meant to learn in this life.
3. Are you dating anybody?
Crow: I am dating somebody. Nobody would even know him though. He's not in the business. He's a lovely person, but you know it totally new and it's just sort of still out there. I always like to keep my private life private. I just thought I would divulge that information just in case there's anybody out there who is worried about me, that I'm lonely or something.
4. In 10 years, will you still be making records?
Crow: And making videos?
(Laughs.) I don't know about the video part of it but I do see that. ... I think looking at Emmy (Emmylou Harris's) career, she is sort of the template for me. I feel like I haven't written my best work yet, and you know that's encouraging for me and that's why I do it. I do at this point in my life feel like I'm at a place where if I didn't do it anymore, I could be OK with that too.
5. Is it true you knocked out your two front teeth?
Crow: I knocked them out twice. When I was 8, I am into some steel scaffolding and knocked them right to the back of my mouth, but they saved them and they were root-canaled and capped. And then I was singing in a top 40 band in St. Louis and a waitress knocked my teeth out with a beer mug, kind of by accident.
LONDON (AP) — International film critics and directors named Orson Welles "Citizen Kane" as the best movie ever, in surveys published by the British Film Institute.
Every 10 years, the institute asks the opinion of more than 250 of the world's leading critics and directors before compiling separate top 10 lists for its Sight & Sound Magazine.
'Citizen Kane' named best movie
"For the last 40 years 'Citizen Kane' has topped the Critics' Poll confirming Orson Welles, the director, as the Shakespeare of modern cinema," Sight & Sound editor Nick James said Friday.
"Pushing all the resources of a
Hollywood studio to its limits, the film is a dazzling formal experiment and compelling portrait of a great man's life."
More than 700 films were nominated by directors including Quentin Tarantino, Bernardo Bertolucci, Tim Robbins, Sam Mendes and Cameron Crowe. Critics polled included Britain's Jonathan Ross and Roger Ebert and David Denby of the United States.
The critics put "Vertigo" in the No. 2 spot, followed by "La Regle du Juu." "The Godfather" and "The Godfather: Part II" as joint No. 4. "Tokyo Story." 2014: A Space
Odyssey," "Sunrise," "Battleship Potemkin," "8 1/2" and "Singin' in the Rain."
The directors put "The Godfather" and "The Godfather: Part II" as joint No. 2, followed by "81/2," "Lawrence of Arabia," "Dr. Strangelove," "The Bicycle Thief," "Raging Bull" and "Vertigo," "Rashomon," "La Regle du Jeu" and "The Seven Samurai" tied the final spot on the list.
The critics' poll, which gathers opinions from as far afield as Bangladesh, Cuba and Estonia, was first taken in 1952. The institute added the directors' poll in 1992.
Orchestra players rally for more pay
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Symphony Orchestra players, voting during intermission at a Tanglewood concert, ratified a new contract that raises the minimum pay for musicians and provides for a new look at rehearsals.
ning in 2004 when incoming conductor James Levine will join the orchestra. The provision will explore new approaches to musical preparation.
The four-year contract, which goes into effect Aug. 25, raises the minimum weekly compensation for players to $1,915 next season, $1,990 in 2003-04, $2,080 in 2004-05 and $2,170 in 2005-06.
The contract also includes a two-year "experimental period," begin-
"jimmy asked that we try some new ideas," said Mark Volpe, BSO managing director. "We've got a committee consisting of myself, artistic administrator Anthony Fogg and three musicians to look at a range of things. It's not just more rehearsal time; we're investigating many options, like seating the sections differently on stage and the
timing of rehearsals."
The contract, ratified Friday night in Lenox, also provides for additional participation by musicians in such matters as audition procedures, and there are new joint management-musician task forces that will meet to consider healthcare issues and new opportunities in electronic media.
Volpe said the final negotiating session on Wednesday lasted about 15 hours. The most difficult issue, he said, was health care.
