Mose Allison: 1927-2016
By James Brewer
26 November 2016

Four years after his last public performance, blues and jazz musician Mose Allison died November 15 at 89 years old at his home in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Until 2012, he maintained a rigorous touring schedule of more than 100 performances per year during his six-decade-long musical career.

In addition to being a tireless performer, Mose left behind a tremendous body of recorded work dating back to the mid-1950s. Tunes like “Parchman Farm,” “Cryin’ Mercy,” and “Your Mind is on Vacation” won him many fans and established him as one of the most iconoclastic young artists of the 1960

Tony Blair heads new pro-European Union movement

The outlines of a post-Brexit referendum political realignment in Britain are becoming clearer, centred on efforts to forge a cross-party alliance of pro-European Union (EU) forces.

The efforts of its leading proponents to advance themselves as a “progressive” alternative to the pro-Brexit forces, dominated by the right wing of the Conservative Party, are exposed to devastating effect by the leading role being played by former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Last weekend, the Sunday Times reported that Blair was “positioning himself to play a pivotal role in shaping Britain’s Brexit deal” and had described Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn as “a nutter” and Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May as “a lightweight.” On Monday, Blair confirmed that he was forming a new organisation dedicated to opposing “resurgent populism” and returning politics to the “centre-ground.”
