Rosanne Cash’s The Wheel Comes Full Circle

Rosanne Cash’s The Wheel Comes Full Circle — originally posted in Village Voice.“Screw ’em. Move to New York.” With these words to his daughter, country-music legend Johnny Cash changed the direction of Rosanne Cash’s life — as she recounts in a trailer for the re-release of her 1993 album, The Wheel. Rosanne had turned to her dad after her record label, Columbia, smelling no hits, abandoned her previous album, Interiors (true to its name, an introspective work), a career blow right on the heels of a personal one, the deterioration of her marriage to fellow singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell.I remember seeing a newspaper photo, probably not far into the ’80s, of Rodney and Rosanne — even their names seemed made for each other — out on the town, their radiance fairly emanating from the page; the caption called them “the king and queen of Nashville.” (Cash’s 1981 album, Seven Year Ache, had topped the charts; the year before, Crowell, a sought-after songwriter, reached the Top 40 ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kawhi Leonard sat in the second half of back-to-backs last season. Now he’s healthy and highly productive.Leonard scored 31 points in three quarters, giving him 106 in his last three games, and the Los Angeles Clippers routed the Sacramento Kings 119-98 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight victory, the NBA’s longest active streak.“Just being healthy has been good,” said Leonard, who tore his ACL during the 2021 playoffs. Paul George dived on the floor for a loose ball in the first half and didn’t play in the second because of a sore left groin. Coach Tyronn Lue said George could have returned if needed.“I didn’t like that,” Lue said, noting George’s multiple shoulder surgeries. “It just shows you these guys want to win.”Adding James Harden has given the Clippers another playmaking weapon.Harden had 15 points, seven assists and six rebounds to help the Clippers sweep a back-to-back for the first time this season. They have won 10 of the...

Myanmar supera a Afganistán y se convierte en el principal productor de opio del mundo, dice la ONU

(CNN) —   Myanmar se convirtió en el mayor productor de opio del mundo, superando a Afganistán después de que los talibanes en el poder impusieran una prohibición al cultivo de amapola, según un nuevo informe de las Naciones Unidas .La nación del sudeste asiático produjo aproximadamente 1.080 toneladas métricas de opio en 2023, la mayor cantidad desde 2001, dijo en su informe la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito (ONUDD).La estricta prohibición talibán del cultivo de amapola , introducida el pasado mes de abril en Afganistán, redujo la producción de opio en el país en un 95%.Dado el papel históricamente dominante de Afganistán en la producción ilegal de opio, la ONU dijo que si la prohibición del comercio continúa podría resultar en una escasez global de opiáceos, incluida la heroína, lo que probablemente alentaría una mayor producción en el Sudeste Asiático.El Triángulo Dorado, una zona remota donde se unen las fronteras de Tailandia, Laos y Myanmar, h...
