Adam Corolla Daddy Stop Talking

Four books. A massive amount of podcasts. He does stand up. Has performed on Los Angeles radio. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Adam Corolla. The comedian, actor, television host, podcast king, and New York Times bestselling author of President Me, Not Taco Bell Material, and In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks now lays down the law on the plight of the modern parent. Parents, do you often think that if your kids had to grow up the way you did—without iPads, 70-inch flatscreen TVs, American Girl dolls, and wifi in the climate controlled minivan—that they might actually be better off? Do you feel underappreciated or ignored? Do you worry you’re raising a bunch of spoiled softies who will never know how to do anything themselves—because you do everything for them? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need Daddy, Stop Talking. Adam rips parenthood a new one, telling it straight about what adults must do if they don’t want to have to support their kids forever. Using his own crappy childhood as a cautionary tale, and touting the pitfalls of the kind of helicopter parenting so pervasive today, Daddy, Stop Talking is the only parenting book you should ever read. Here, too, is sage advice to Adam’s own kids—and to future parents—on what matters most: dating; drinking and drugs; buying your first house and car; puberty; and what kind of a-holes his kids (and yours) should avoid becoming. Even if his own son and daughter pretty much ignore everything he says, you shouldn’t. And you’re welcome. Again.

Barley Scotch From Hawyseed Dixie

Every great piece of music starts with a moment of discovery. We hold onto the places and things that were taking place during the introduction. For Hayseed Dixie? It was the John Boy and Billy Show and now the band is traveling the world. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Barley Scotch Hayseed Dixie began in the summer of 2000 in the fertile valley of Deer Lick Holler, deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee USA. In this area which was completely isolated from outside cultural and musical influence, the boys grew up playing the traditional music of their forefathers on banjo, fiddle, mandolin, acoustic guitar and acoustic bass. All of this changed abruptly one afternoon when a stranger crashed his car into a stately old oak tree on a particularly dangerous curve, which the locals refer to as the “Devil’s Elbow.” Sadly, the stranger expired, but his legacy lives on! As the boys searched through the wreckage looking for identification, they discovered several vinyl AC/DC albums. After playing these back on an old Edison 78rpm Victrola, everyone agreed that the songs were right fine country music . . . and that the Lost Highway of Brother Hank Williams and this Highway To Hell that AC/DC sung about were indeed the exact same damn road! And with that the boys took to leaning the music on those AC/DC albums - and the rest is now enshrined in musical history.

David Crosby Acoustic Tour

This summer David Crosby returns to the Carolina's for a rare acoustic show. Then its off to perform on the Queen Mary with CSN. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with David Crosby Legendary singer-songwriter and social justice activist David Crosby is a two time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, inducted as a member of both the iconic folk-rock band The Byrds — with whom he first rose to stardom — and the iconic Woodstock era-defining group Crosby, Stills & Nash. A native Californian-and son of an Academy Award-winning cinematographer-Crosby originally intended to be an actor when he moved from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles in 1960. Music prevailed, however, and Crosby began his career as a folksinger, playing clubs and coffeehouses nationwide. Back in L.A. in '63, Crosby formed The Byrds with Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke, winning widespread recognition for his songwriting and charismatic presence. Driven by hits including "Eight Miles High," "Turn! Turn! Turn!," and a cover of Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man," The Byrds' signature electric folk-rock influenced countless musicians to come. Crosby left The Byrds in 1967 to embark on a lifelong collaboration with Graham Nash and Stephen Stills. Renowned for vocal harmonies, stellar musicianship and timeless songs, Crosby, Stills, & Nash (CSN) have been called "the voice of a generation," and were GRAMMY-honored in 1969 as Best New Artist. The trio's self-titled debut album introduced classics including the Crosby-penned tracks "Guinnevere" and "Wooden Ships"—today, it is included on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Crosby continues to tour and record with CSN, as well as with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and as a duo with Graham Nash. As a solo artist, Crosby debuted with the 1971 masterpiece If Only I Could Remember My Name, recently reissued as a two-disc set featuring a 5.1 mix, video footage, and other bonuses. David Crosby also performs and records with CPR, the jazz-flavored trio he formed in 1995 with his son James Raymond and Jeff Pevar. Crosby's most recent release is 2004's Crosby-Nash, a 2-CD set with Graham Nash, their first as a duo since 1976's Whistling Down The Wire. Their debut LP together, '72's Crosby & Nash-featuring "Southbound Train" and "Immigration Man"-is regarded as one of the best side projects from the CSN&Y sphere. Their catalogue also includes 1975's Wind On The Water and the live gem Another Stoney Evening. Previously a CD-only release of a 1971 concert recording, the latter title is now available in digital and LP versions as the inaugural releases on Blue Castle Records, the independent label Crosby formed with Nash in 2011. Voyage, a 3-disc, career-spanning retrospective box set touching on all aspects of Crosby's oeuvre, was released in 2006. Crosby is also the author of three books including Stand and Be Counted: Making Music, Making History/The Dramatic Story of the Artists and Causes That Changed America, which underscores his commitment to social activism, and belief that artists and musicians are potent agents for change. Crosby's two autobiographical volumes are Long Time Gone and Since Then: How I Survived Everything And Lived To Tell About It. The latter, per Entertainment Weekly, chronicles, "A fascinating life worthy of a sequel."

Jan Gaye After The Dance

We know the music. We've read about the writers of the songs. No matter how many times the tunes play on the radio or you download it from YouTube. There's still a deeper story to the formation of the Artist's roots. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with the woman that stood beside and behind Marvin Gaye. It's Jan Gaye A riveting cautionary tale about being in love with a legend, AFTER THE DANCE: My Life With Marvin Gaye is a searing memoir of love, drugs, sex, and old school R&B from the widow of soul and sex icon Marvin Gaye. After her seventeenth birthday in 1973, Janis Hunter met Marvin Gaye, the soulful prince of Motown whose chart-topping, socially conscious album “What’s Going On” had made him a superstar two years earlier. Despite a 17-year age difference and Marvin’s marriage to the sister of Berry Gordy, Motown’s founder, they began a scorching affair. One moment Jan was a high school student; the next she was spending every day with Marvin; navigating the dark and intriguing world of 1970’s and 1980’s celebrity; hanging with Don Cornelius on the set of Soul Train; and helping to discover new talent like Frankie Beverly and Maze. But the distractions and burdens of fame, the chaos of dysfunctional families, and the irresistible temptations of drugs complicated the love they shared. Primarily silent since Marvin’s tragic death in 1984, Jan at last opens up, sharing the moving, fervently charged love story of one of music history’s most fabled relationships. Unsparing in its honesty and insight, and illustrated with sixteen pages of black-and-white photos, AFTER THE DANCE reveals what it’s like to be in love with a creative genius who helped transform popular culture and whose artistry continues to be celebrated today. Jan Gaye is the second wife of late legendary recording artist Marvin Gaye (1939 - 1984) and the mother of his children, Nona and Frank Gaye.

Stephan L Moore Texas Rising

The weakest part of our historic knees are the bends in our journey. We know when America was discovered. The Civil War, Civil Rights and September 11th. Something happened in Texas that shaped this entire nation. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with author Stephen L Moore TEXAS RISING, by acclaimed Texas historian Stephen L. Moore (William Morrow Hardcover; May 12th), is the official nonfiction companion to the HISTORY ten-hour mini-series set to debut Memorial Day, May 25. With the same production and writing team behind the record-breaking Hatfields & McCoys and starring Bill Paxton, Ray Liotta, Kris Kristofferson, and other notables, the five-part series that The Hollywood Reporter recently called “an 1830s version of American Sniper” is poised to be one of the most watched and anticipated television events of the summer. Moore (a descendent of Texas Rangers) offers a “fast moving narrative” (Library Journal) that tells the full, thrilling story of the Texas’s revolution, its years as a sovereign nation (1836-1846), and the rise of the legendary Rangers who patrolled the violent western frontier. In 1836, if west of the Mississippi was considered the Wild West then Texas was hell on earth. Crushed from the outside by Mexican armadas and attacked from within by the ferocious Comanche—no one was safe. But this was a time of bravery, a time to die for what you believed in and a time to stand tall against the rule of the Mexican General Santa Anna, who slaughtered Texans at the Alamo and the “Goliad Massacre.” They were the Texas Rangers, a ragtag crew of men fighting on horseback, often outnumbered by as many as fifty to one. Yet under renowned General Sam Houston they helped achieve victory against nearly impossible odds, earning a legendary place in American history. *A Main Selection of the History Book Club* ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Stephen L. Moore, a sixth-generation Texan and part Cherokee, is the author of multiple books on World War II and Texas history, including Pacific Payback: The Carrier Aviators Who Avenged Pearl Harbor at the Battle of Midway (NAL Caliber, 2014), the four-volume series Savage Frontier: Rangers, Riflemen, and Indian Wars in Texas: 1835–1837, Eighteen Minutes: The Battle of San Jacinto and the Texas Independence Campaign, and Taming Texas, a biography of his ancestor William T. Sadler, who was one of the first Texas Ranger captains in the 1830s. A graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, Moore lives north of Dallas in Lantana, Texas, with his wife, Cindy, and their three children. Steve’s forefathers helped create Texas, serving as legislators, militamen, Texas Rangers, frontier Indian fighters, and as soldiers of the Confederacy in the Civil War. Two of his great-great-grandfathers, William T. Sadler and John Morton, fought at San Jacinto and helped the Republic of Texas secure its independence. Sadler was one of the first Texas Rangers captains in 1836, and later served as both a militia and Texas Army captain during the Texas Indian Wars. Two of Steve’s other ancestors—Thomas Alonzo Menefee and his father Laban Menefee—served with the Texas Rangers during the 1830s. His deep interest in the Texas Indians Wars, the Texas Revolution, and the early Rangers prompted him to spend years studying these subjects. The results of his research have been previously published in Eighteen Minutes, his extensive history of the San Jacinto campaign, and in a four-volume series on the republic-era Texas Rangers titled Savage Frontier: Rangers, Riflemen, and Indian Wars in Texas.

Ashley Clark Greyhound

One minute you're preaching in front of a congregation in Texas and the next minute you're flying to a private place to meet with the legendary Mutt Lang. He doesn't want to record your voice. He's interested in writing music and more. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Ashley Clark Ashley Clark’s story is one of closing doors and opening windows, of taking advantage of lucky breaks and following your dreams even if it means making tough choices. The story takes the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from sleeping on the floor of a stranger’s house in Nashville to having one of the most powerful managers in the music business (Simon Fuller) hook him up with one of the most successful producers in history (Mutt Lange) and signing to one of the most legendary record labels (Capitol Records and its new imprint IRS Nashville) to make his musical dreams come true. Clark grew up one of 11 children born to a traveling Pentecostal preacher. Throughout Clark’s childhood, the family was constantly on the road, an experience he likens to “a traveling circus.” Everyone was expected to perform as part of the services and they would find themselves at an ever-rotating array of churches, tent revivals, and festivals across the South. While the upbringing was far from what one might call “normal,” and things that other kids take for granted (a stable home, traditional schooling) were lacking, it gave him an amazing crash course in music. “My dad bought me a fiddle when I was five,” Clark recalls. “He thought I was naturally gifted at it and said, ‘That's your instrument.’ We would stay awake sometimes until the sun came up at bluegrass festivals, hanging out in parking lots or campsites and just play all night. That's how I learned to play.” Clark loved the effect his playing and singing had on the audiences but it began to come into conflict with the family’s mission. “I felt like I was trying to be someone I'm not,” he says. “My parents hated the word ‘entertainer.’ They’d say, ‘We don't entertain people; we change people.’ But looking back now, I was an entertainer, a frustrated entertainer, because I got the most joy singing, making people smile, and being on stage.” Clark’s efforts to balance both worlds became more and more challenging. After a couple of half-hearted breaks with his family to strike out on his own (including two months crashing with his cousin, a pre-OneRepublic Ryan Tedder), Clark decided to move to Nashville for good. “Back home in Virginia, we all had bunk beds, and I was lying there in my bunk thinking ‘I’m a man, I can do whatever I want, and I don’t want to be here,’” Clark says. “I had a friend take me down to the used car lot. I saw a 1986 Ford Bronco, and was like, ‘That one.’ I drove to Nashville and showed up at a friend’s house and said, ‘Can I stay here?’ And he said, ‘Well, I'm sleeping on the couch. You can sleep on the floor.’” Word got out around town about a new lightning-fast fiddle player and soon Clark was playing with a newly christened American Idol winner named Carrie Underwood. He played in Underwood’s touring band for two and half years, traveling the world and figuring that he’d found a great life as a working musician, but fate came calling in the form of a reality TV show. One night, Clark saw a promo calling for bands to appear on an upcoming Fox show called The Next Great American Band. “I called two of my brothers and said, ‘Guys, we can win this. I know we can.’” And indeed, they did. Christening themselves Sons of Sylvia, Clark and his brothers were signed to the management company of the show’s creator Simon Fuller. It became clear to Fuller that the true star of his newly signed band was its magnetic lead singer and fiddle player Ashley. And soon enough, when the super producer Mutt Lange said he was interested in finding a new country artist with whom to work, Fuller knew he had the perfect candidate. “Ashley ticked all the boxes,” Lange says. “He has an incredible range and can sing anything, he’s a very talented writer, and as a musician, he plays with aggression. On the fiddle and the mandolin, he’s an animal.” To Clark, it felt as if he had hit the lottery both personally and professionally. “I flew out to L.A. and we just hit it off,” Clark says. “We talked about music, we talked about life. For eight hours, we just talked. Everyone left. Simon left. It was just the two of us in Simon’s office. The next thing I knew Mutt said, ‘We’re going to start recording in the Bahamas.’” Lange was knocked out by Clark’s talent after hearing his initial batch of songs. “I thought they were very universal,” he says. To Lange, Clark’s roots loom large in his music — a blend of country and pop informed by the Americana styles Clark absorbed as a kid and the soulfulness of his voice. “He has authenticity in spades,” Lange says. Over the next two years, they reworked Clark’s songs, co-wrote a host of others, and collaborated closely on an entire album, something Lange hadn’t done with a brand new artist for 20 years. That last artist? Shania Twain. To say Lange is selective is quite the understatement. Having sold in excess of a quarter billion albums, his dance card is made up primarily of superstar bands looking to make a sonic leap (most recently Muse and Maroon 5) and his batting average is incredibly high, so Clark knows that he is beyond lucky. And he aims to take full advantage of his good fortune, setting his sights ever higher. After all he’s been through, Clark has never lost the initial thrill he experienced early on; the one that comes from playing for an audience and affecting their mood with his songs, voice, and playing. He wants listeners to experience a range of emotions while listening to the songs on his upcoming album. “On ‘Greyhound,’ I want people to feel that longing,” he says. “On ‘So Sexy It Hurts,’ I want people to dance around in the bathroom in their underwear. “On ‘To the Moon,’ I want people to be cruising in their car at night and forget all their problems. And on ‘One More Time,’ I want people to be making out and falling in love.” And for himself? “All I want is to keep my eyes on the prize,” he says. http://www.ashleyclarkofficial.com

I've always believed there's a story behind the face of fame. Once there the goal is to unplug what we've already read in People Magazine and hook up with the true authors of sight and sound.

Greg Poelher Welcome To Sweden

Last summers incredibly funny Swedish hangout has found its way back to America. But for any of it to happen... the writer, producer and actor from the show had to physically pack up and leave the country. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Greg Poelher. Based on Greg Poelher’s True Life Story, the Hilarious, Top-Rated Rom-Com Arrives May 19 in a 2-Disc DVD Set Containing All 10 Season One Episodes; Guest Stars Include Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell, Aubrey Plaza and Gene Simmons. Americans best know Sweden for exports such as meatballs, Ikea furniture and Volvo. But on May 19, Entertainment One (eOne) adds “sitcoms” to the list with its co-produced series WELCOME TO SWEDEN: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON, a 2-disc DVD set. The acclaimed NBC sitcom, an offbeat single-camera comedy from executive producers and siblings Greg & Amy Poehler (“Parks and Recreation”) and created by and starring Greg, became one of the highest-rated summer broadcast comedies of the past five years when it debuted last July. And before its second season debuts, experience a strange land and its stranger customs, in this fish-out-of-water sitcom called “the best new NBC comedy in a long time ”. Based on Greg Poehler’s true life story, WELCOME TO SWEDEN, follows a successful New York money manager to the stars, Bruce (Greg Poehler) who falls in love with a Swedish girl, Emma (Josephine Bornebusch, top-rated Swedish drama “Solsidan”), and follows her back to her native Stockholm when she returns for a job. Moving halfway around the world with a new love is a huge step and Bruce, with no job, friends or real clue about what he is getting himself into, is quick to face the many unique challenges and culture clashes that living in a foreign land presents -- most notably, how to win over Emma’s strange and very Swedish family. From Bruce’s comical struggles to learn the language to his exploits behind the wheel of a Swedish car, run-ins at the immigration office and with his celebrity clientele, WELCOME TO SWEDEN reveals itself to be “romantically old-fashioned… and delightfully weird ”. Making his acting debut, Greg stars in the series along with Bornebusch, and Lena Olin (Chocolat, The Ninth Gate) as Emma's therapist mother Viveka, retired sea captain father, Birger (Claes Månsson), and Illeana Douglas (Easy to Assemble, Grace of My Heart) and Patrick Duffy (“Dallas”) as Bruce's parents. They’re joined in the inaugural season by guest stars Amy Poehler, Aubrey Plaza, Will Ferrell and Gene Simmons, who make guest appearances as themselves in this series predominately shot on location in Stockholm. WELCOME TO SWEDEN is created by Greg Poehler. It is a co-production of eOne, TV4, FLX and Syskon and executive producers include Amy Poehler and Greg Poehler; Fredrik Arefalk for TV4; Carrie Stein eOne; and veteran Swedish TV helmer /creator Felix Herngren (Solsidan) for FLX. "WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT GREG POEHLER" FROM TIME MAGAZINE Some things are shared by siblings—after all, even if you spent your childhoods competing for everything, you’ll be glad to have such a close possible genetic match if you ever need a kidney. Other qualities, however, are more elusive. For example: a sense of humor. The funny gene doesn’t always get passed to the brothers and sisters of successful comedians—but, if Amy and Greg Poehler are any evidence, it does sometimes run in the family. As Deadline reports, the Poehler-created and -starring sitcom Welcome to Sweden (created as a Swedish network’s first English-language show) has been renewed for a second season by NBC for U.S. broadcast. Search for Greg Poehler’s entertainment background, however, and come up short: though he’s the headliner of Welcome to Sweden, he’s a complete newcomer to the business. So what do we know about him? •Until turning to humor, he worked as a lawyer. He told The Hollywood Reporter that his parents had urged him to get a stable job at a time when it had seemed that his sister’s chosen career would be an unpredictable one. •His first-ever TV role was being described as a semi-autobiographical one and he lives in Sweden, so we can guess that his life has followed a similar trajectory to the one his character, an American who moves to Sweden for love. •The Poehlers formed their own production company back in May and, appropriately enough, it’s called Syskon (Swedish for “siblings”). •He’s already done stand-up comedy about being an American living in Sweden, and has appeared on his sister’s YouTube channel Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls:

Dr Buck Parker from NBC's The Island

You don't get voted off. There are no winners. Just survival. NBC's the Island hits takes 14 normal men and puts their skills of survival on a playing ground unseen before on American television. This isn't a competition. This show is about making it to the end. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Dr. Buck Parker. NBC has announced the 14 men who will see if they have what it takes to survive on the new man vs. nature series “The Island.” In the six-episode series which premieres Monday, May 25, internationally acclaimed adventurer and survivalist Bear Grylls offers men from across the country the ultimate challenge: Can the average American man survive on a deserted island without the luxuries — or even the basics — of contemporary everyday life? "Man has never been further from his hunter-gatherer origins," said Grylls. "We take food, shelter, warmth for granted; we click buttons rather than test our resourcefulness. I want to find out what happens when you strip people of all the comforts of modern life – does 21st Century American man still have it in him to fight for his survival? Or has that incredible pioneering spirit been lost forever? The Island sets out to answer that question." “The Island,” based on the hit Channel 4 U.K. series of the same name, doesn’t include any of the usual reality show trappings. There are no prizes. No eliminations. No winner. The six episodes, produced by Endemol Shine North America, will leave 14 American men isolated on a deserted island committed to filming every moment themselves with only the clothes on their backs and minimal survival tools.

Antonio Fargas

His most famous role is Huggy Bear on Starsky and Hutch. Today he's the ambassador for NBC's hot new Cozi TV.... From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with actor Antonio Fargas Antonio Fargas, best known as "Huggy Bear" from Starsky & Hutch, has signed on as the first brand ambassador for NBC's COZI TV. In this role, he'll star in exclusive musical promos for the network, which airs iconic series including Starsky & Hutch as well as Magnum, P.I., Charlie's Angels, The Bionic Woman, Six Million Dollar Man and Lone Ranger, plus classic movies. Fargas kicked off his relationship with COZI TV on Monday, with the premiere of the first of three network identity spots featuring Fargas and his swing band, The New Jump Blues. The musical promos feature soundtracks created exclusively for COZI TV. The other two promos will premiere later in the year. Here's the spot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDnEpeurQ-E In his new role as brand ambassador, Fargas will also host other projects for the network. "We are thrilled to have Antonio be part of the COZI TV family," said Diane Petzke, director of programming and promotion. "Antonio's career embodies our programming philosophy and the warm, inviting and laid-back attitude of our network." After Starsky & Hutch ended its run in 1979, Fargas continued his stage, film and television career with roles in such movies as Foxy Brown, Don't be a Menace... and Car Wash and appearances on shows including All My Children, House of Lies, Miami Vice, Lie to Me and Everybody Hates Chris COZI TV launched on Jan. 1, 2013, on the multicast channels of the NBC Owned Television Stations and is now available in about 80 million homes nationally. ANTONIO FARGAS BIO Antonio Juan Fargas was born on August 14, 1946, in New York City, to a Puerto Rican father and a Trinidadian mother. He and his ten siblings grew up in a housing project on Manhattan's Lower West Side. Fargas's father was a garbage man who later worked in public relations, and his mother, Fargas told Boston Herald reporter Paul Sullivan, "was a great domestic engineer.... There was always bread on the table, not in abundance, but we always had what we needed." When Fargas was a sophomore in high school in 1961, he noticed a story in New York's Amsterdam News saying that auditions were being held for an independent film called Cool World. He got the part. Around the same time, Fargas was a member of a youth group called Harlem Youth Opportunities Limited that offered theater programs to aspiring actors. After receiving instruction from actor Robert Hooks in Hooks’ apartment, which wasn't far from that of Fargas's family, he got a part in an off-Broadway stage production called The Toilet in 1963. Early in his career, Fargas was known primarily as a stage actor. He made the first of what would become a lifetime's worth of trips to England in 1965 to appear in the play The Amen Corner, and he won positive reviews back in New York two years later when he appeared as Scipio in the original Broadway production of The Great White Hope, a play about the life of boxer Jack Johnson. Just 20 years old, Fargas convincingly played the part of a 90-year-old witch doctor. Fargas also made notable appearances in a 1968 New York Shakespeare Festival production of Romeo and Juliet and in the 1969 play Ceremonies in Dark Old Men. Dividing his time between New York and Los Angeles, Fargas began to break into movies. He had parts in some of the popular black-oriented films of the early 1970s, like Shaft (1971), Cleopatra Jones (1973), and Foxy Brown (1974). In 1974 he also played Quickfellow in Conrack, a film made from author Pat Conroy's autobiographical novel about his experiences teaching in an African-American community on one of South Carolina's coastal islands. Fargas also garnered roles in episodes of such hit television series as The Bill Cosby Show, Police Story, Kojak, and Sanford and Son. Fargas had appeared in the 1972 film Across 110th Street, directed by Barry Shear, and when Shear was signed to direct the pilot episode of the ABC network's Starsky and Hutch in 1975, he cast Fargas in the role of Huggy Bear. The role wasn't initially intended to be an ongoing part of the show, but producers noticed the chemistry that quickly evolved among Fargas and stars David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser. Fargas ended up remaining with the cast through the entire run of Starsky and Hutch, which left primetime airwaves in 1979 but lived on for years in syndication. Huggy Bear was a bar owner and streetwise police informant who directed tips to police officers Starsky and Hutch. Dressed to the nines in a leather trench coat that was widely imitated during the run of the series, he was often surrounded by beautiful women; his status as a pimp was suggested but never directly stated. Huggy Bear was charismatic, fashionable, a bit lovable, and unfailingly entertaining. Such traits anticipated the rise of rap music's "gangsta" variant, and thus it was no surprise that Fargas was later cast in films such as the Wayans Brothers' I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988), even if he took some criticism from activists of the 1970s for perpetuating stereotypes of blacks in the entertainment industry. Fargas was matter-of-fact about his role, telling Mark Grossi of the Providence Journal that "I was a character actor and it was a typical role for a black actor at the time. It was good for me because it helped my career." The role of Huggy Bear was played by rapper Snoop Dogg in a 2004 film based on the series. The end of Starsky and Hutch barely slowed Fargas's career. He returned to the stage for a time in the 1980s, explaining to the Providence Journal that "I hadn't been on stage for a long time. Your acting muscles atrophy when you don't use them." He had the lead role in a 1985 play called Toussaint, Angel Warrior of Haiti, which traced the life of the 19th-century Haitian independence leader Toussaint L'Ouverture. That year he also appeared in a New York Shakespeare Festival production of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, and in 1986 he had a role in a Philadelphia production of The Amen Corner, the play that had taken him to England as a teenager. Fargas continued to act in films, and in the 1990s he kept up a steady schedule of television guest star appearances in such series as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Martin, Living Single, and The Steve Harvey Show. Married and divorced twice, he moved in with his partner, real estate executive Sandi Reed, in the late 1980s, raising her two children and Fargas's two from a previous marriage. One son, Justin Fargas, became a football star with the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League. The early 1990s offered real challenges for Fargas. He conquered alcohol and tobacco addictions. The 1994 earthquake centered north of Los Angeles trapped him and his wife in different parts of their Northridge, California, home, with each thinking the other had been killed, but Fargas broke down a door and they were reunited. Traveling to England as often as four times a year, Fargas had the chance to test his survival skills once again in 2002 as a member of the cast of the British reality television show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! He also toured in a stage version of the film The Blues Brothers that had been rewritten to include a Huggy Bear role, and he teamed with David Soul in a serious play called The Dead Monkey. His theatrical career rolled on in the U.S. as well as he starred in 2003 in a St. Louis production of the acclaimed The Gospel at Colonus, an African-American adaptation of a drama by ancient Greek author Sophocles. And Huggy Bear remained a household name after three decades. Argentine band Babasónicos released a song in their 1998 B-sides album Vórtice Marxista called Antonio Fargas. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Antonio Fargas is Huggy Bear", in Spanish, and is meant to be homage to Antonio.

Vanilla Fudge The Extended Mix

Radio once served as a connection between the artist and the listener. It was the pathway to the album sleeve. Once the pictures shrunk into a compact disc. The story behind the band became a guess game. Although Google does a fine job with its share of information. There's still nothing like listening to a band break out in how it all went down. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Carmine and Mark from Vanilla Fudge

Amanda Watkins

Growing up in West Virginia. It's always been the approachable dream to turn the songs in her heart into a vibrant anthem for fans to sing. A singer first. She and her sister endlessly crafted the rhythms and riffs that shaped the stage she'd soon step on. Amanda's lived in Florida as well as California but its her deep roots that brings fruits to the vines of new Country success. Recording in the RCA studio where Elvis and Waylon Jennings laid down their tracks was extremely inspirational. Only to find herself recording a duet in a style fed by the influences of her pride filled passion to listen to music. Absolutely Kid Rock has a fan. But do you know what drew Amanda closer? iHeart Radio we are Unplugged and Totally Uncut.

Suzanne Somers From Toxic To Not Sick

One of the most famous faces and smiles on the planet. But how does he keep it energized and moving in a positive direction? Suzanne Somers speaks a language you don't want to talk about. Your house. Your place of business. Something is making you Tox-Sick. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Suzanne. We are under the greatest toxin assault in history, and our bodies have reached their tipping point. These toxins are making us tox-sick. Our bodies, especially our livers (our internal filters) are exhausted, and now the tiniest added chemical exposure can launch a plague of “unexplained” symptoms that put us at risk of seemingly unrelated but commonly linked toxic overload conditions: fatigue, migraines, bloating, nausea, arthritis, Crohn’s, brain fog, even autism, ADHD, depression, and cancers. It’s time to detox your entire life to save it. Suzanne Somers, bestselling health pioneer and advocate, knows that our well-being and lifespans are in the balance. With aid from respected physicians, she wants to help us avoid tox-sickness from the massive environmental chemical attack that is permeating everyone right to the cell level, including our newborns and children. Thankfully, it doesn’t take much to turn your life around. There are easy steps to get you back on a good path, boost your health, and help guard from the toxic assault. That is the life-changing message Suzanne shares in her new book, TOX-SICK: From Toxic to Not Sick (Harmony; April 2015; $26.00). On a mission to get us on the road to recovery, she interviews leading medical practitioners to explain how we can reshape the way we live to regain control of our health and our future. It’s very personal for Suzanne. “When our house burned down, we rented,” says Suzanne. “In those next years, my husband, Alan, suffered a chronic sinus infection, facial tics, and then spasms. He was diagnosed twice with pre-Parkinson’s. I was hospitalized in anaphylactic shock and diagnosed with cancer everywhere, ‘never seen so much’ I was told. The doctors were wrong about Alan and me. Fungus in my lungs and intestines read like cancer on a CAT scan. We found that dangerous black mold had permeated the house. We were virtually ‘swimming’ in it, breathing it, exercising in it. We moved out like bandits, did massive detoxing, and reclaimed our health.” Suzanne then saw her grade-A-achieving granddaughter begin to lose her ability to learn, comprehend, and communicate; another very scary family moment. So, passionate health warrior that she is, she sat down with top environmental doctors and specialists, all experts in the field, who shared eye-opening information and practical advice for how to survive, thrive, and stay healthy today. We’re surrounded by car exhaust, industrial solvents, plasticizers, paint, scents in detergents and creams, the outgassing of new carpeting, microwaved leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap, pesticide-laden berries …These toxins tend to bioaccumulate, building up in our tissues and cells, lingering and gathering in the fat cells, and we have no idea why we can’t lose weight or why we feel so lousy. Now, in TOX-SICK, Suzanne shows how we can bulletproof our bodies and homes, and effectively detox all our body systems, including the brain, gut (our second brain), heart, thyroid, and more. She also provides protocols for coming clean: detox techniques, how to make your own probiotics, supplements for survival, as well as safe products and protectors. TOX-SICK is empowering, riveting, and just might save your life.

Liz Shannon Miller May TV Sweeps

The May TV Ratings are underway! American Idol is calling it quits while Jane The Virgin is a huge hit on The CW. But how will television do now that Netflicks and Hulu are playing a creative game? From Hollywood...and the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Liz Shannon Miller. The May sweeps period is the final push from networks to get us to watch their shows. So — what exactly is it and why is it so important for the viewers? It has been eight long months. Our DVRs are full of shows we’re weeks behind on. We’ve seen new shows come (welcome, Fresh Off the Boat, Black-ish) and we’ve seen shows go (Manhattan Love Story, Red Band Society, we hardly knew ye). There is about one month left in the season, including what’s known in the industry as May sweeps. So what is Sweeps? It’s about a two-week event that happens four times over the course of a television season, this being the fourth and final, after one in September, November and February. It’s the time television networks will do big final pushes — often involving Wacky Ideas and Shocking Deaths — to get eyeballs on their programs. Sweeps is used as a Nielsen measurement tool (albeit one often taken with a grain of salt nowadays) for studios and advertising agencies alike to evaluate who is really watching what. And, because this is 2015, they want to know not just what viewers are watching, but when (this is where Live+SD, Live+3, Live+7 come into play) and how (live, DVR, online streaming, TV, Xbox, laptop). “But wait,” you say. “I thought Nielsen measured that stuff all year?” To that, we say, don’t get us started on the severe shortcomings of Nielsen measurements. That’s a different article for a different day! For now they rule the ratings and measurements world. Onward! Let’s take a look at why May sweeps is important this year, what it means for next television season, and what we’ve learned so far in the 2014-2015 TV season. May sweeps immediately precedes Upfronts seasons. Upfronts are the Super Bowl of television-advertising sales. Literally. The Super Bowl annually sells tons of ad space there. A marathon bidding and selling process, television networks and studios tout their Fall (or occasionally, next Spring) line-up of shows, and in some cases, big-name celebs. Then, agencies and brands determine where they want to put their advertising budget. It’s kind of like gambling — you can’t predict what shows will be a hit with the audience (great! You’re getting your money’s worth) and which will bomb (oof — people will be scrambling to make sure your ads are placed on similar programs). If a show is suddenly revived during May sweeps — maybe a new marketing strategy got people interested or there’s a special episode to bring in different/new/more viewers — networks may look at that as a piece of the pie when deciding to renew or cancel. Love him or hate him (the Hypable staff is indifferent) @TheCancelBear does a usually-accurate reading of what shows are D.O.A., on ‘the bubble’ or ‘likely to be renewed.’ A press release announcing a 13-episode order next season for a show that was chugging out 22 this season is usually not a great sign, but people say (and, more importantly, hear) contradictory things about the status of shows hourly. It’s the voices that cut through it all that are heard. These are the ones who decide the fates of television. This past season, we saw what might be the first of its kind: an online streaming platform picking up a show a network dropped, then airing weekly installments of its episodes. We’ve seen entire shows picked up by platforms from dropped networks. But when ABC canceled the abysmally-rated Selfie after just a few episodes, Hulu swooped in, bought the remaining episodes, then released them on a weekly basis as if the show were its own baby. Will this happen again? Maybe. Cougar Town had a healthy run on TBS after being dropped by ABC, but Enlisted, despite a strongly vocal, small fandom, was canceled by FOX and was unsuccessful finding a second home. The facts are plain and simple: television’s landscape is different than it was five, 10, 15 years ago. Empires season finale last month “averaged an eye-popping 6.5 rating,” according to Josef Adalian at Vulture, but at the height of NBC’s reign, Friends season 2 ratings averaged a cool 19 in the coveted 18-49 year old adult demographic. These numbers, like currency, can’t be measured equally without adjusting for inflation — there are more households and hundreds of thousands more screens people are watching on. Ideally, people would watch television live, their eyes glued to the screens for the entire hour, so the network gets their program seen and advertisers get a chance to sell their product. The fracturing of demographics, and increasingly niche programming, that, admittedly, some nets have swapped in favor of shows with wide-appeal, makes it difficult to reach an advertiser’s target audience. In this case, they can turn to a show like The Mindy Project to talk to their 18-49 female audience, and can place an ad on a sports game later in the week to reach men. This not only costs more money for the advertiser, but the networks have to deliver on their promise to get a certain amount of people watching. If they don’t, some contracts stipulate that the network has to air the ad again in alternative time slots until the reach that threshold. (This is really getting into the nitty-gritty of advertising. If you want to talk more about it, email me.) May sweeps technically began April 23, this past Monday, which is why it’s no coincidence that Grey’s Anatomy episode aired this past Thursday, or that the revelatory Jenner interview aired on Friday. Expect more must-see moments continuing throughout the month until May 20, when the shows all come to and end, and we wait another four long months until our favorite time of the year: season premieres.

Randy Bachman Heavy Blues

Randy Bachman tends to laugh off his participation with the history of Classic Rock. Then he steps forward with a Blues album that not only ignites other brilliantly talented artists like Peter Frampton and Neil Young... but he invites them to play. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Randy Bachman Few artists can claim to have made a bigger impact on popular music than Randy Bachman, widely regarded as the “architect of Canadian rock ‘n’ roll.” His renowned songwriting acumen produced “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” “American Woman,” “Let it Ride, “Taking Care of Business,” “Looking Out for #1,” “No Sugar Tonight” and “These Eyes,” tracks that have become pop-culture touchstones. One of the Great White North’s favourite musical sons, Bachman co-founded iconic bands The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, earning over 120 gold and platinum albums/singles around the world as a performer and producer, and amassing more than 40 million in record sales. He’s also no stranger to garnering coveted #1 spots on radio playlists, having done so in over 20 countries. His accomplishments haven’t gone unrecognized, of course. In addition to his induction into the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville, Bachman has the distinction of being the only one of his countrymen to be inducted twice into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, most recently alongside his fellow original Bachman-Turner Overdrive members in 2014. A recipient of the Order of Canada, Bachman’s overwhelming international influence and popularity was acknowledged in 2011 by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), in the form of the Global Impact Award.

David Silverman Team Of Teams

In Team of Teams General McChrystal and his coauthors show how the challenges he and his colleagues faced in Iraq, Afghanistan, and over a decade of special operations missions around the globe can be relevant to countless businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations here at home. When General McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force (overseeing the most elite counter terrorism forces including Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, and classified units) in 2003, he quickly realized that conventional tactics were failing. Al Qaeda in Iraq was a decentralized network that could move quickly, strike ruthlessly, then seemingly vanish into the local population. The Allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment, and training—but none of that seemed to matter. Small teams have many advantages—they can respond quickly, communicate freely, and make decisions without layers of bureaucracy. But organizations taking on really big challenges can’t fit in a garage. They need management practices that can scale to thousands of people. To defeat Al Qaeda in Iraq, General McChrystal’s Task Force had to acquire the enemy’s speed and flexibility. Was there a way to combine the power of the world’s mightiest military with the agility of the world’s most fearsome terrorist network? If so, could the same principles apply in civilian organizations? General McChrystal and his colleagues discarded a century of conventional wisdom and remade the task force, in the midst of a grueling war, into something new: a network that combined extremely transparent communication with decentralized decision-making authority. The walls between silos were torn down. Leaders looked at the best practices of the smallest units and found ways to extend them to thousands of people on three continents, using technology to establish a oneness that would have been impossible even a decade earlier. The task force became a “team of teams”—faster, flatter, more flexible—and beat back Al Qaeda. In this powerful book, General McChrystal and his colleagues show how the challenges they faced in Iraq can be relevant to countless businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations. The world is changing faster than ever, and the smartest response for those in charge is to give small groups the freedom to experiment, while driving everyone to share what they learn across the entire organization. As the authors argue through compelling examples, the team of teams’ strategy has worked everywhere from hospital emergency rooms to NASA to General Motors to commercial airlines. General McChrystal and his colleagues have founded a consulting firm called CrossLead, which helps corporate leaders navigate these challenges. CrossLead is a holistic leadership and management system which empowers organizations to continuously adapt and win in complex environments. The CrossLead team works with Fortune 500 companies and other organization seeking to manage change and complexity. David Silverman David Silverman is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of CrossLead. Through founding CrossLead with General McChrystal in January 2011, David and a group of like-minded friends sought to reinvent the way the world does business in today’s fast-paced environment. Upon leaving the military, David was motivated to share the lessons learned from confronting a cutting-edge 21st century networked organization—Al Qaeda—with a 20th century hierarchy. After witnessing the US Special Operations community’s successful transformation into an agile network first-hand, David realized their experiences were not isolated to the military, but rather universal to organizations everywhere, from businesses to non-profits to governments. He set out to change the way organizations operate in the 21st century, disrupting the traditional business model and enabling them to adapt and win in a constantly shifting environment. Based on their collective service in the United States Armed Forces, David and his colleagues developed CrossLead, a holistic leadership and management system designed to enable sustained organizational adaptability. CrossLead empowers organizations to continuously adapt and win in complex environments. David’s vision has been responsible for CrossLead’s transformation, starting from the company’s founding in General McChrystal’s living room and growing to its present state as a leading management and leadership consulting firm with over 80 employees. Through his leadership and vision, CrossLead is being implemented successfully inside Fortune 500 companies across sectors. David is the principal architect of CrossLead doctrine, products, and services. He plays an important role in determining CrossLead methodology and strategy for specific client engagements, working with client CEOs to shape and drive the implementation of CrossLead. He is also a frequent guest speaker to business leaders and conferences throughout the country on CrossLead. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, David served in the US Navy as a SEAL Officer for 12 years. He is an experienced and combat-decorated veteran with six operational deployments worldwide, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Southeast Asia.

Daniel Cohen Single Handed

When you face mountains do you walk up to them or walk away? When you have been held captive not once but twice. Do you stop believing or continue to lead? From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with film maker and author Daniel Cohen In 1944, a thirteen-year-old Hungarian boy named Tibor Rubin was captured by the Nazis and sent to the notorious Mauthausen concentration camp. The teenager endured its horrors for more than a year. After surviving the Holocaust, he arrived penniless in America, barely speaking English. Tibor enlisted in the Army, and in 1950, he volunteered for service in the Korean War, instead of staying home as a non-US citizen. After acts of heroism that included single-handedly defending a hill against an onslaught of enemy soldiers, braving sniper fire to rescue a wounded comrade, and commandeering a machine gun after its crew was killed, he was captured. His actions and decision-making were enough to be recommended for the Medal of Honor. But the paperwork was never filed. As a POW in a prison in North Korea, Tibor called on his experience in Mauthausen to help fellow GIs survive two and half years of captivity. Tibor narrowly escaped death at the hands of his captors several times, and suffered a serious leg injury that could have killed him, but fortunately he was released during Operation Little Switch and returned to America in 1953. In 1954, Tibor “Teddy” Rubin finally became a US citizen and moved on with his life, marrying and raising a family in California. It was not until 2005—at age 76—that he was invited to the White House, where he received the Medal of Honor from President George W. Bush. It had taken over half a century for Tibor’s adopted homeland to recognize this Jewish immigrant for acts of valor that went “beyond the call of duty.” The former Hungarian refugee became the only survivor of the Holocaust to have earned America’s highest military distinction. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and extensive interviews, author Daniel M. Cohen presents the inspiring story of Tibor “Teddy” Rubin for the first time in its entirety and gives us a stirring portrait of a true hero. ABOUT THE AUTHOR DANIEL M. COHEN has worked as a filmmaker, journalist, and film critic for over thirty years. He has written and directed award-winning independent features and continues to work as a film critic. He lives in Santa Monica, California.

Jean-Pierre Dorleac The Naked Truth

One of the greatest love stories to be written then released: Somewhere In Tim with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. The beauty of time travel fascinates the imagination but it was the unforgettable costumes that made the movie unforgettably beautiful. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with the man that created the costumes to the film plus many other TV shows. Jean-Pierre Dorleac The Depth of Beauty: The Most Unarguably Beautiful Women You Would Ever Want to Meet, Let Alone Know Los Angeles, CA, April 29, 2015 - Forget about a painted façade, towering elaborate hairdo, ostentatious and chunky borrowed jewelry, an overly pushed up décolletage and a see-through spangled gown—the true magnificence of a movie star is in her demeanor and sincerity, not in the all-too-plastic manifestation. As has been stated many times, "beauty is only skin deep.” With all the cosmetic surgery and filler injections available now, that is hardly true any longer. Deep beneath the surface of what everyone sees is where the true splendor of a person lies. It's not in the eyeliner or false eyelashes, bright lip gloss, rouged cheeks, stiletto pumps or wearing something someone else has borrowed from a designer you never heard of … although in the ongoing Hollywood parade where everyone tries to out "glam” one another, it appears to be de rigueur. Few of the true beauties ever subscribe to such theories. What made each of them unique and magnificent were their skills, goodness, kindness and attitude, above all. Many of the greats never wore anything but casual clothes when they went about their daily lives, sans make-up and glitz. Few were pretentious and none thought of themselves as better than anyone else. The ones that professed to be "the best” usually had the shortest careers in the long run. Since costume designers are always the first to encounter an actor or actress, usually hired unseen through casting, their experiences are the bar by which those who have yet to work with these performers is measured. Depending on the first encounter, many artists are never hired again because of their lack of professionalism and ability. In The Naked Truth, award-winning costume designer Jean-Pierre Dorléac's entertaining chronicle of 12 years, readers will revel in the highly explosive stories that are filled with entertaining confrontations of every nature and, heretofore, untold tales of the glitter and tinsel capital's drastic change that began in the early '70s. This often funny and quite fortuitous success story is filled with splashy tales and entertaining confrontations involving glamour, politics, graft, sex, scandal, and candid accounts of the glitter and tinsel capital's assets being sold off by the new capitalist. About the Author Jean-Pierre Dorléac is no stranger to the film industry. His award-winning costume designs can be seen in Somewhere in Time, The Blue Lagoon, Heart and Souls, Battlestar Galactica, Quantum Leap, Knightrider, Airwolf, The Lot and numerous other award winning productions.
