How many times did you listen to the songs of Paul Simon, classics like ?The Sounds of Silence?, ?The Boxer?, ?Bridge Over Trouble Water? o ?Mrs. Robinson?, which was part of the soundtrack of “The graduate?(1967), with the leading role of Dustin Hoffman. One of the most important singer-songwriters of the twentieth century -as he was defined in several articles- who at the age of 80 continues to captivate the public, as happened in September with his presentation at the Global Citizen, in Central Park in New York.
Paul Frederic Simon, born on October 13 in Newark (New Jersey) had as his first musical partner Art Garfunkel, a boy she met at school and with whom she would form one of the most important duos in history, Simon & Garfunkel. That friendship was consolidated when together they performed the school play of ?Alice in Wonderland?Although with time, everything would change. Influenced by the folk current of the early ’60s, they managed to perfectly blend their voices with distinctive melodies.

The group had as its first name Tom & JerryLike the cartoons, where Simon was Jerry Landis (he took the last name from Sue Landis, a girl he was dating in those days) and Garfunkel was Tom Graph. At the time they changed it to their surnames. But the relationship between the two was not always the best. According to people close to each other, the musicians could not stand each other. “If they had a knife handy at the table where they sat, they would have used it against each other, ?Simon’s manager Joseph Rascoff once said.
“The Sound of Silence”, the first success or the first failure
Paul Simon began writing this masterpiece in late 1963, after the assassination of John Kennedy, and completed it in February of the following year. The song, whose first recording was acoustic, was part of the duo’s first album, Wednesday Morning 3 AM, which was released in October 1964. The album was a failure, the young artists parted ways, and the singer-songwriter went to London for a time.
Fate had a letter in store. A Boston radio show host was interested in ?The Sound of Silence?And made it a hit with listeners, largely college students. Once the directors of the record company found out, they decided to add a rhythmic base and an electric guitar to the original version. In 1966, the song reached the second place of the charts in the United States, with more than a million copies sold.
Paul Simon’s interest in “The Condor Passes”
The composer became interested in this song when he heard her play her melody for the band The Incas, in a performance in the Theater of the East of Paris, in Paris, in which both participated. A zarzuela by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles, written in 1913, and based on traditional Andean music.
Simon & Garfunkel included her on the album Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970). The single made it to the top of the charts. This marked the singer-songwriter’s interest in “world music”
Graceland, the album that made him famous as a solo artist
In 1986, Simon went to Johannesburg and joined local musicians to record. Graceland. Those were difficult times, in full global discredit of the South African regime for apartheid. The African National Congress blacklisted him. In this production, Paul put light on musicians who managed to break out of their anonymity, such as the exile Hugh Masekela who helped him organize a festival with the most committed African singers such as Masekela, Miriam Makeba or the Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
?You Can Call Me Al?Was one of the great successes of Graceland. A track that climbed the charts, in part thanks to the rotation of its video, which featured Chevy Chase as the main character. Important instrumentalists such as Adrian Belew (King Crimson, Talking Heads, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, and Nine Inch Nails, among others) with his guitar synthesizer.
His romantic relationship with “Princess Leia”
Paul Simon was married three times: with Peggy Harper (1969-1975), with Carrie Fisher (1983-1984), actress known for playing a la princess Leia in Star Wars, and singer-songwriter Edie Brickle (1992-present). With the latter Simon has three children: Adrain, Lulu and Gabriel. In addition, she has a son from her first relationship, named Harper who is also dedicated to music.

The remembered Princess Leia from “Star Wars” did not recover from the massive heart attack she suffered on a plane last Friday. He was 60 years old.
They were together with the protagonist of “Star Wars” for six years although, in between, the actress got engaged to Dan Aykroyd when both were working on The Blues Brothers. In fact, Aykroyd gave her an engagement ring but Fisher, who was still in love with Simon, preferred not to go ahead and returned with the singer. They married in 1983, and eleven months later the couple broke up. ?There were no infidelities, but there are always problems,? Fisher recalled that, from then on, she would never have a cordial relationship with Simon again. She died in December 2016.

How many times did you listen to the songs of Paul Simon, classics like ?The Sounds of Silence?, ?The Boxer?, ?Bridge Over Trouble Water? o ?Mrs. Robinson?, which was part of the soundtrack of “The graduate?(1967), with the leading role of Dustin Hoffman. One of the most important singer-songwriters of the twentieth century -as he was defined in several articles- who at the age of 80 continues to captivate the public, as happened in September with his presentation at the Global Citizen, in Central Park in New York.
Paul Frederic Simon, born on October 13 in Newark (New Jersey) had as his first musical partner Art Garfunkel, a boy she met at school and with whom she would form one of the most important duos in history, Simon & Garfunkel. That friendship was consolidated when together they performed the school play of ?Alice in Wonderland?Although with time, everything would change. Influenced by the folk current of the early ’60s, they managed to perfectly blend their voices with distinctive melodies.

The group had as its first name Tom & JerryLike the cartoons, where Simon was Jerry Landis (he took the last name from Sue Landis, a girl he was dating in those days) and Garfunkel was Tom Graph. At the time they changed it to their surnames. But the relationship between the two was not always the best. According to people close to each other, the musicians could not stand each other. “If they had a knife handy at the table where they sat, they would have used it against each other, ?Simon’s manager Joseph Rascoff once said.
“The Sound of Silence”, the first success or the first failure
Paul Simon began writing this masterpiece in late 1963, after the assassination of John Kennedy, and completed it in February of the following year. The song, whose first recording was acoustic, was part of the duo’s first album, Wednesday Morning 3 AM, which was released in October 1964. The album was a failure, the young artists parted ways, and the singer-songwriter went to London for a time.
Fate had a letter in store. A Boston radio show host was interested in ?The Sound of Silence?And made it a hit with listeners, largely college students. Once the directors of the record company found out, they decided to add a rhythmic base and an electric guitar to the original version. In 1966, the song reached the second place of the charts in the United States, with more than a million copies sold.
Paul Simon’s interest in “The Condor Passes”
The composer became interested in this song when he heard her play her melody for the band The Incas, in a performance in the Theater of the East of Paris, in Paris, in which both participated. A zarzuela by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles, written in 1913, and based on traditional Andean music.
Simon & Garfunkel included her on the album Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970). The single made it to the top of the charts. This marked the singer-songwriter’s interest in “world music”
Graceland, the album that made him famous as a solo artist
In 1986, Simon went to Johannesburg and joined local musicians to record. Graceland. Those were difficult times, in full global discredit of the South African regime for apartheid. The African National Congress blacklisted him. In this production, Paul put light on musicians who managed to break out of their anonymity, such as the exile Hugh Masekela who helped him organize a festival with the most committed African singers such as Masekela, Miriam Makeba or the Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
?You Can Call Me Al?Was one of the great successes of Graceland. A track that climbed the charts, in part thanks to the rotation of its video, which featured Chevy Chase as the main character. Important instrumentalists such as Adrian Belew (King Crimson, Talking Heads, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, and Nine Inch Nails, among others) with his guitar synthesizer.
His romantic relationship with “Princess Leia”
Paul Simon was married three times: with Peggy Harper (1969-1975), with Carrie Fisher (1983-1984), actress known for playing a la princess Leia in Star Wars, and singer-songwriter Edie Brickle (1992-present). With the latter Simon has three children: Adrain, Lulu and Gabriel. In addition, she has a son from her first relationship, named Harper who is also dedicated to music.

The latest episode of Seinfeld, which aired on May 14, 1998, is said to have nearly save his life to Frank Sinatra. The streets of Los Angeles were practically empty between 8 and 10 at night, just when the singer suffered a heart attack and immediately needed an ambulance, because citizens were in front of the screens saying goodbye to a fiction that had made them laugh for almost a decade. It was the most watched episode in television history, ahead of the end of Friends, with 76 million viewers. Since October 1, it can be seen on Netflix with the rest of the seasons since the platform has paid more than 500 million dollars for distribution rights. Chips compared to the profitability you will earn from the operation.
The characters that make up this gang of thirty-somethings who live in Manhattan in the 90s are an indisputable reference in pop culture, like those of Friends but for reasons that have little to do with it. They don’t stop at a cozy cafe like Central Perk but at a dinner somewhat grubby, they do not rent enviable old-rent apartments or have romantic entanglements because the dynamics of their relationship is based on the joking of the miseries of others. And one of those who laughs the most was Elaine, the only female character in the series, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

When Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld raised the sitcom They did not think of a woman having a leading role, but in the face of the danger that NBC would stop production after seeing the pilot, they had to expand the cast. Thus they introduced Elaine Benes, inspired by Carol Leifer, an ex-girlfriend of Seinfeld, as is the character in the series. Alejandra Palés, a journalist specializing in series in media such as Serielizados or Diari Ara, argues that ?it was a success that they included it, as requested by the chain. Because although Elaine can be as absurd as her friends, she also brings a feminine point of view that I think is essential or it would have been a series very heeled towards testosterone ?.
Although Elaine and Seinfeld have a love past, that aspect does not develop. It is one of the characteristics that makes the difference with most fictions: there is no attraction between the protagonists. ?I remember when I was watching the series and I was a pre-adolescent, I was extremely frustrated because I didn’t understand that they weren’t together or that sexual tension was exploited in some way. Until I was a little older I did not understand that the series was not about that and that it was very good that it was not about that, “says Palés.

Elaine is an independent woman who works in the publishing industry, with a surprising ability to push herself despite her short stature and a lot of character. ?She is fed up with everything. She can’t stand her friends, she can’t stand her acquaintances, she can’t stand parties, she can’t stand her job or her co-workers, she can’t stand injustice, she doesn’t shut up a single one, she’s funny, she’s vindictive (and how I like that be it and enjoy it) ?, explains the artist Rocío Quillahuaman. The protagonists of his well-known animations, in which he humorously portrays everyday situations, have a lot to do with Elaine. “Surely it has been a reference for many comics today. For me it has been both on a style level and also on an artistic level. There is an episode on Seinfeld in season eight called The English Patient in which Elaine breaks down screaming in the middle of a session of that movie at the cinema because she hates it and can’t take it anymore. That scene has the essence of everything I want my animations to be ?, he details.
The style noted by Quillahuaman – “if I wear women’s long coats, it’s because of her,” he says – became as recognizable as Rachel from Friends or Margot in Los Tenenbaums. A family of geniuses. Although she evolves over the seasons to adapt to the vital changes of the character, from precarious worker she rises to boss within the publishing sector. Seinfeld costume designer Charmaine Simmons outlined her image wearing loafers with exposed socks, masculine style jackets, shoulder leather backpack (only one) and long, flowing dresses, her hallmark. Jaime Perlman, former art director of Vogue UK, stated in one time her closet was full of “Elaine dresses.” Comfortable and attractive but “without her priority being to be sexy”, according to specific Julia Louis-Dreyfus en The New York Times.

A benchmark of feminism?
It was at the time – at least for cisgender, white, heterosexual and middle-class women – but sometimes fiction doesn’t hold up well over the years and this one was released three decades ago. However, Elaine was a pioneer in dealing with certain issues that are still being discussed today. See, for example, Abortion: Season 6, titled The couch, Benes gives up a relationship with a man who attracts him a lot because he is not in favor of free choice. And the writers also do not leave aside comedy to develop the story, there is no more drama than Elaine’s disappointment at losing such a handsome lover.
His way of living sexuality is another aspect of his character to note since his desire and his relationships are shown in the same way as that of the rest of the cast – Seinfeld, Constanza and Kramer, three men. In fact, Larry David’s favorite episode and the one he won an Emmy for is The contest, from season four, in which the four of them make a bet to see who can last the longest without masturbating. Despite what everyone thought, the second to fall is her. She also wants to choose her contraceptive method without anyone interfering and openly declares that she does not want to have children.
“At the time, and also now, it was the demonstration that there were women who went outside the norm that stated that they had to be nice and nice all the time”, highlights Palés. “Surely there will be small details that will seem outdated or outdated with respect to our current mentality but it seems to me a fairly advanced character and who would not disengage in a comedy set today.”
Rocío Quillahuaman also considers that the character continues to have full validity. ?In the episode I was describing earlier there is a scene in which he explains that the sex scenes in that movie seem unreal to him and says something very funny: ‘Give me something I can use!’ And all his love failures, well compiled by Nick Lutsko in this song. The first time I saw this series I was much younger but I have seen it again several times in different stages of my adulthood and I have come to realize that the only character with whom I feel identified is Elaine. I mean, it’s a character of a white woman written by white men but still … it’s really the only saint I pray to. “

Mission: assassinate Paul Simon
In 1988, the stadium of Wembley hosted an event to request the release of Nelson Mandela, taking advantage of his 70th birthday. George Michael, Stevie Wonder, Eurythmics, Sting, Tracy Chapman, Peter Gabriel or Dire Straits among others gathered on the same poster. The concerts were followed by more than 600 million people in 67 countries. Van Zandt took advantage of the event to claim amnesty for South African leader Nelson Mandela, but FOX cut part of the broadcast.
Whitney Houston – whom Mandela adored, having even hung a poster of the singer in his cell in Robben Island– He demanded that no photograph of the political leader appear during the performance, also censoring the messages for his release. The big multinationals and record companies pressed to prevent political messages from being broadcast through the generalist media.
When Stevie Van Zandt met Paul Simon During a party, the singer-songwriter took the opportunity to blame the musician for the support he had shown towards Mandela during the event: “My friend Henry Kissinger has explained it to me with hair and signs, he is a terrorist, a communist and he is dangerous”, Van Zandt froze. Just two years before the AZAPO, a militarist group that remained in hiding in South Africa, had confessed their plans to assassinate the singer.

Between 1986 and 1987, Paul Simon had traveled to Africa to capture the sounds of music from the south of the continent. The result was Graceland, one of the most influential albums in world music and a 180 degree turn in the composer’s career. AZAPO planned in those years murder simon, who they saw as a threat in the the status quo that the black independence groups were trying to create.
Van Zandt exploded at the singer-songwriter, reminding him that KissingerDespite having a Nobel Peace Prize, he was still a “war criminal”. Months later, in 1987, while Simon was touring with a roster of African musicians promoting Graceland;Hugh Masekela, trumpeter and singer, stepped up to the microphone to sing under the Zimbabwean sun his Bring him back home“Bring Nelson Mandela back, bring him home to Soweto. We want to see him walk the streets of South Africa tomorrow.” There were still three years before his release and even Kissinger wanted to shake the hand of that “dangerous terrorist” in 1994.
In 1985, Van Zandt organized some titanic recording sessions that would end up including RUN-DMC, Pete Townshend, Miles Davis, Pat Benatar, Ringo Starr, Gil Scott Heron and Joey Ramone, among many others. The result was the single Sun City, that together with a video clip and a documentary managed to raise awareness about the problems that the black community of the apartheid. The objective was to close one of the most profitable propaganda centers in the African country: Sun City.
The Sun City scam
Van Zandt toured South Africa in the early 1980s to meet with some of the country’s leading political figures; from trade unionists, like Cyril Ramaphosa even religious leaders like Desmond Tutu. For months, the musician visited Pretoria, Johannesburg or Cape Town, including in his itinerary Bofutatsuana, one of the ‘independent states’ created by the Johannesburg government for the black population.

Service learning is an important part of the University?s Physician Assistant program.
Assistant Professor Kelli Frost generally assigns students in her first-year Introduction to the PA Profession class service work in healthcare settings. She says the students gain important skills, as well as a deeper understanding of the field.
But like so many other things, the pandemic forced Frost to change her plans. In 2020, when clinics and other healthcare providers were not bringing in students, Frost had them exchange letters with residents of the St. Patrick Senior Center. It helped students connect with and learn about the needs of an underserved population.
This year, with clinic placements still scarce, Frost had to find another way. She turned to the program?s alumni.
?The PA program has a pretty engaged alumni base,? Frost said. She reached out and 35 alumni responded saying they were willing to chat one-on-one with a first-year PA student. ?The goal was to have the freshmen understand the life of a PA and the challenges they are facing during the pandemic.?
Frost said it was an extension of the regular series of PA speakers she has speak to her class, but the conversations turned more personal and emotional.
These candid conversations took place virtually and started with a few scripted questions, and then went deeper.
One of the students, Shawn Schwesinger, was paired with a PA working in Sterling Heights. He found the experience eye-opening.
?She was more fortunate than many people because she worked in a family practice the pandemic did not cause as many problems for her as it did for others,? Schwesinger said. ?The office did mostly telehealth, which increased her paperwork and there weren?t other people in the office to help share the work.?
She told him about the increase in patients with complaints of anxiety and depression and of her own emotions when patients were healthy one week, and on a ventilator the next.
?She did experience provider burnout,? he said. ?But she was better off than many people because she was able to keep her job throughout the pandemic.?
In his reflection paper after the discussion, Schwesinger wrote: ?Speaking with a medical professional, which I one day aspire to be, about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on their lives allowed me to experience a sense of compassion?towards all healthcare workers and all people in general. ? The interview also made me feel more inclined to help others and make sure that I check up and support those around me with their mental and physical health.?
Molly Soraghan was another student who participated in the project. Her reflection paper talks of a moment in her interview of a PA who works with cardiovascular Associates.
?I know she has to put on a brave face every day, work through the fatigue and get back to helping those in need. It was in this small moment that I could see the toll that this pandemic has taken on everyone, especially healthcare providers.?
Jeff Cornell ?12 is a PA on the Critical Care Team at Ascension Hospital in Warren. He remembered the day the PA student called him.
?I was really tired after a long day of work,? he said. But the conversation was easy and Cornell was happy to participate.
?I always enjoy talking to the students,? he said. ?I think it?s important for them to have a clinical perspective, which was hard because so many clinical placements were canceled because of COVID. I don?t think students can really appreciate what the field is like without clinicals.?
After the experience, Frost and her students felt the need to give back to the alumni who helped her. She took inspiration from a project one of her children did in elementary school: A virtual quilt.
?I had each student create a square for what we called an Alumni Gratitude Quilt,? Frost said.
Students offered encouragement and thanks.
?You never know when a helping hand will change another person?s entire life,? wrote one student. Another?s panel read ?Not every superhero wears a cape?some wear scrubs.? Others, simply: ?Thank you.?
Frost turned them into a paneled piece of art that she sent to the alumni who participated.
?The students got a lot out of it and the alumni said they were grateful to have someone to tell their story to,? Frost said.
Frost will use transcripts of all interviews and the student papers reflecting on the experience in an academic paper she plans to write.

Passed 22 years since the last time Elton John managed to enter the ranking of the 40 most listened to songs in the United States, but finally the British returned to mark a milestone in his career thanks to a collaboration.
?Cold Heart?, the song he has just released with Dua Lipa and Pnau, was established this week at number 32 on the list. of the country of the North. It is a remixed song that has parts of some of the musician’s best known singles, such as “Sacrifice”, from 1989; his 1972 hit “Rocket Man”; his 1976 version of “Where’s The Shoorah?” and her 1983 single, “Kiss The Bride.”
On March 20, 1999, with the release of “Written in the Stars”, his collaboration with LeAnn Rimes, Elton John had reached number 29 in the ranking, being the last time he crossed the barrier of the top 40.
A few days after its release in August, ?Cold Heart? became a global hit. The song that has 35 million views on YouTube and 128 million on Spotify, peaked at # 2 on the UK charts almost immediately.
The first contact between Dua Lipa and Elton John came when she invited him to an Instagram Live to talk about his experiences at Studio 54 before their remix album. Club Future Nostalgia. Later, the artist performed at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, which raised more than $ 3 million. It was there that Elton approached Dua to work together on new music remotely. The result was called “Cold Heart”.
The single is part of the album that the British musician will release on October 22, which has collaborations with artists such as Miley Cyrus, Eddie Vedder, Lil Nas X, Charlie Puth, Gorillaz, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, Young Thug and Nicki Minaj, among others. The Lockdown Sessions, as the album is called, was recorded during the last 18 months of the pandemic.
“The last thing I expected to do during confinement was record an album.”Elton John said in a statement. ?But, as the pandemic progressed, specific projects continued to appear. Some of the recording sessions had to be done remotely, via Zoom, which I had obviously never done before. Some of the sessions were recorded under very strict security rules: working with another artist, but separated by glass screens ?.
?But all the tracks I worked on were really interesting and diverse, things that were completely different than what I had done before., things that took me out of my comfort zone and into a whole new territory, “he continued. ?And I realized that there was something strangely familiar about working like this. At the beginning of my career, in the late 1960s, I worked as a session musician. Working with different artists during the confinement reminded me of that. He had come full circle: he was once again a session musician. And still it was wonderful?.
The farewell tour
The pandemic surprised Sir Elton John as part of his farewell tour Farewell Yellow Brick Road. ?The priorities in my life have changed. Now they are my children, my husband and my family ?, she said when announcing that she would retire from the stage.
However, between the restrictions caused by the coronavirus and some health problems of the artist, the tour still could not come to an end. In September, he announced that his concerts in Great Britain and Europe will have to wait until 2023. ?Despite the intensive treatment of physiotherapy and specialists, the pain has continued to worsen and causes increasing movement difficulties. They have advised me to operate as soon as possible to regain full form and make sure that there are no complications in the long term, “he said in a statement.
The tour also included recitals in the United States, of which the date has not yet been confirmed. In the initial schedule, the tour would last three years, would consist of 300 concerts and it was speculated that it would have a stop in Argentina.

Luc Roux is capable of portraying the stars of French cinema with a naturalness that few can boast today.. From a very young Gérard Depardieu lying in a hammock to the imposing Catherine Deneuve posing in Paris 25 years ago, the relationship of the French photographer with the artists goes beyond the objective and becomes eternal in his snapshots, which from this Wednesday can be seen in the new headquarters of the Alliance Française In Malaga.
The professional maintained close ties with the popes of French cinema, with whom he shared confidences, talks and coffee. He has never asked them to smile at the camera or to pose like a fashion advertisement (how those impossible foreshortenings that appear in magazines and websites hurt!) In more than 40 years of splendid career. The French Alliance will inaugurate today at 8:30 p.m. the first retrospective in Spain of the artist.
The exhibition is a journey through the work of the one who was the main photographer of the mythical magazines First and Studio Magazine. Roux was the founder of these together with Jean-Pierre Lavoignat, curator of the exhibition, and Marc Esposito. The artist portrayed prominent figures such as the recently disappeared Jean-Paul Belmondo, Marion Cotillard, Charlotte Gaingsbourg and Isabelle Huppert.
Some of the photographs on display, including that of Catherine Deneuve.

The public will be able to visit the exhibition from October 13 to December 15 of this year in the exhibition gallery of the new headquarters of the French Alliance (C / Canales, 11, Málaga). Monday to Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Shooting moments
The exhibition invites at times to discover the ins and outs of the French film industry, especially focused on its great stars and unique moments never seen before. The usual presence of Roux in constant shootings, as well as in deliveries of the César Awards, the Venice Film Festival, and, of course, the Cannes Festival, produced snapshots that from this Wednesday are exhibited immortalized on the walls of the exhibition gallery at the French Alliance in Malaga.
And it is that this exhibition covers with perspective how French cinematography and its outstanding actors and directors have evolved, and that thanks to the French Film Festival it is a celebration of their careers, and a tribute through the discovery of these unpublished photographs in Spain.

Thus, in the selection of photographs that cover the 40 years of Luc Roux’s work, you will be able to see the great honoree of the Festival, and recently deceased Jean-Paul Belmondo, to which the festival dedicates its tribute cycle. The legendary actor appears between two sets of the filming of Itinerary of a spoiled child, by Claude Lelouch.
Along with him, other great figures appear such as Catherine Deneuve, image of the exhibition poster, photographed at the Café Marly, in Paris. Gérard Depardieu is present in several snapshots throughout his career, and also his son Guillaume Depardieu, who appears alongside Deneuve and Leos Carax, in the development of X fields.
Sophie Marceau is pictured in London, where she shot James Bond: The world is never enough; Monica Bellucci poses on the occasion of the presentation of Irreversible, from Gaspar Noé, with Vincent Cassel, at the Cannes Film Festival; or Romane and Richard Bohringer who posed together for the first time for Roux in an endearing image in 1996.

Throughout the room you can also recognize Isabelle Huppert during the filming of Gabrielleby Patrice Chéreau; with which he won a Special Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. A hilarious image of Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard anticipates their marriage in unprecedented ways.

Wink to Malaga
The nod to Malaga is put by Luc displaying a photograph of the actor Antonio Banderas, admiring the face of Eva Perón (Madonna) during the filming of Evita, by Alan Parker, in Budapest.
After studying Fine Arts in Avignon, Luc Roux worked as a photographer for the French magazine First since 1983. In 1987 he participated in the creation of Studio Magazine together with Marc Esposito and Jean-Pierre Lavoignat, where he served as main photographer.

Both film magazines became essential, being as cinephile as popular, and where the image had the same importance as the text. Their birth was an event in France and they became, between the 1980s and the mid-2000s, the most widely read and influential film magazines. Following its success, similar publications were created in several European countries, as well as in the United States.
The quality of Luc Roux’s images, his tight, sensitive and benevolent gaze, his talent for capturing these privileged snapshots -moments of abandonment or work, complicity or intimacy- that reveal the truth of the actresses and actors, and also the magic of cinema in creation.
The links he has forged with artists and technicians have greatly contributed to the reputation of Studio Magazine. On some occasions he distanced himself from the magazine to cover certain shootings, in particular those of Maurice Pialat, Claude Miller, Michel Deville, Patrice Chéreau and Alain Corneau.
Some of his images have been turned into movie posters: Under Satan’s Sun, All the mornings of the world, Queen Margot and The Little Thief, which won the César for the best poster. After leaving Studio in 2004, he devoted himself to still photography, specifically on the film sets of Bertrand Blier, Danièle Thompson, Tonie Marshall and Thierry Klifa.

If we talk about extravagance in the 1970s, one can automatically think of David Bowie. However, there was an artist who already made noise with his eccentricity from an opera sound mixed with the rock and synths: Klaus Nomi.
Who was Klaus Nomi?
Klaus Sperber is a German artist born in Bavaria in 1944. Descendant of a family of artists, his passion for music woke up in him being so just a child.
Although he was shy and withdrawn, he began to approach music as a maintenance assistant in the Berlin German Opera. And every night, after the concert on duty, he took advantage of the loneliness of the theater to burst onto stage. There he interpreted songs of which he was his greatest reference: the American opera singer Maria Callas.

That motivated him to start trying his luck performing in different nightspots in Berlin. Then, in 1970, he would leave for New York to settle in the barrio East Village, a meeting place for artists of all disciplines.
In that place, and precisely at that time, the punk and avant-garde they were the countercultural currents. Thus, Klaus would find his place, helping him to stimulate his “extraterrestrial” sound and identity, drawing inspiration from his favorite occult magazine, OMNI, and forging his own stage name: Klaus Nomi.
His signature suit and collaboration with David Bowie
In 1972, he appeared in public dressed as an alien for a satirical production based on the opera ‘The Gold of the Rhine ‘by Wagner. However, his characteristic costume composed of a spacesuit and a plastic cape that impacted the world arose with the work New New Vodevil.

After the impact, his popularity began to emerge in the New York underground scene and to awaken the passion of several who wanted to have his presence.
One of those who was delighted with his eccentricity was David Bowie himself, who wanted have the presence of Klaus Nomi in one of his performances. In addition to this, the German lent him part of his characteristic costume, which would serve as inspiration for the extravagant identity of the Briton in his next steps.
In 1979, David Bowie was invited to sing ?The Man Who Sold The World? al programa Saturday Night Live (SNL), where Klaus Nomi participated as a showgirl.
A shooting star victim of AIDS
That stellar cameo next to the ‘White Duke‘allowed Klaus Nomi to achieve his first record deal with RCA Records to record your Self-titled debut album (1981).
Masterpieces such as ‘The Cold Song’ or ‘Total Eclipse’ are extracted from that album. In the latter he took advantage of condemning homophobia through sonic and conceptual references through opera.
The following year, their last album in life would arrive, ‘Simple Man’, a more pop work where they meet ‘Falling In Love Again‘; and his version of ‘Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead‘, of the movie ‘The Wizard of Oz’ (1939).
However, on August 6, 1983, at the height of his career, Klaus Nomi died of AIDS in the most absolute solitude, abandoned in his apartment.
According to witnesses of the time, his friends, associates and music agents disappeared from his side when he said that he had contracted HIV. It was even one of the first media recognized artists in dying from the disease.
