somebody who has become a master of his/her trade and profession. This person had a good tutor and has been taught well. A new professional.
Clarence Clemons was an iconic member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band for decades and his sax playing always evoked crowd cheers at concerts. After he died in 2011 from a stroke and a fall from which he never recovered, his nephew Jake took over sax duties for Bruce's tours. When I saw the Boss and his E Street Band play in 2014 and again in 2016, I could tell that Jake learned his playing well from his uncle. He is a full-fledged Jedi of saxophone playing.

a nation that had people of many ethnic groups, languages, religions, alphabets and other catagories live together under one flag and one ruler. It was formed after World War I as a kingdom. The name "Yugoslavia" technically means the "Land of the South Slavs". It was later ruled in a dictatorial manner and during World War II the country was torn apart partially due to actions by the Axis powers. One example of this calamity is that the Utashe, a Croatian fascist group established a Croatian puppet state and waged a campaign of extermination against the Serb ethnic group. A Croatian Communist, Josef "Tito" Broz, managed to reunite Yugoslavia at the war's end and he ruled the entire land under his version of Communism (independent of the influence of the Soviet leaders) until his death in 1980. The communist glue lost its hold on the country by the end of the decade, opening the way for fascists like Slobodan Milosevic and nationalists like Franjo Tudjman and others to stir up ethnic tensions. The Communist government resigned and voted itself out of existance in early 1990 and elections were soon held. Milosevic the son-of-a-bitch wanted control of the land for himself and his policies led to several years of secession, wars and "ethnic cleansing" and a new Holocaust. The nation fell apart in a raging cauldron of violence and now Yugoslavia is no more. There are now several ethnically-based countries, although Bosnia is a mixed bag republic consisting of people in the Croat, Serb and Muslim ethnic groups. "Yugoslavia" is now a word that refers to a country torn apart by hatred and violence between ethnic groups.
1. Rwanda and the Sudan (Darfur region) have experienced ethnic genocide just like Yugoslavia.
2. Some ignorant bigots with their attitudes concerning a certain black Presidential candidate and racist mythology about immigrants (legal and not) and post-9/11 fears stemming from terrorist actions are talking of "America for the Americans" and "RAHOWA". They use these issues to justify their hate. They want to turn this great nation into another Yugoslavia. That way is NOT the answer.

it goes like this: a skanky golddigger of a woman finds someone (usually rich and/or famous), intoduces herself to him, they date and later they marry. She will usually bear the man's child, then leave him and file for divorce in order to get some of his moolah. In the 1984 song "Vice" (which appears on the 1985 Miami Vice soundtrack), Grandmaster Melle Mel describes a girl that some man adored who in the end was "another dirty old broad" and he goes on to say "he loved his honey, but she loved money".
Sir Paul McCartney met Heather Mills about a year after his first wife Linda McCartney died of breast cancer. She took advantage of the fact that his better half for a wonderful near-30 years of his life was dead and even though it was dumb and careless for Paul to fall for her despicable schemes, still, bad is bad and a golddigger is a golddigger. He loved his honey, but she loved money. Heather Mills is a greedy bloodsucking wench. I've seen it happen before to another musician in 1999.

1. quite simply it's a slang term to refer to the music of Bruce Springsteen.

1. On November 17, 1999 I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play at Ohio State University. The band came out and got ready. The Boss shouted out "1! 2! a 1-2-3-4!" and kicked out the jams with "The Ties That Bind". I knew then we were in for a major treat. It was 2.5 - 3 hours of pure Bruce Juice. Pure New Jerseyrock'n'roll. Sweet!
2. Earlier that year I saw (and met) Canadian folk rocker Bruce Cockburn. It was a one-man performance yet this form of Bruce Juice was also fun to see and hear.
3.
ALAN: Hey Mikey! Whatcha putting into the CD player?
MIKEY: Bruce Springsteen's album "The River".
ALAN: a double disk set! A double disk set has double the fun. Over an hour of top notch Bruce Juice. ALLLLLL-RIIIIGHT!!!!!

1. a slang name for crack cocaine. This is due to the "rock" nature of the drug.
2. a woman who "walks the streets for money" and doesn't "care if it's wrong or it's right". She is the title girl in the classic hit by the Police.
3. a girl mentioned in the pioneering 1984 rap tune "Roxanne, Roxanne" by UTFO. Several "answer" songs by other rappers came out.
4. a beautiful woman's name, sometimes shortened to "Roxy".

1. Elaine smoked some roxanne last night. When the drug wore off she crashed and spent all day today in the sack.
2. ... told you once, I won't tell you again, it's a bad way
ROXXXXXXANNE! You don't have to put on the red light...
3. a female rapper dubbing herself as "Roxanne" made a song in answer to the club hit by UTFO.
4. stay away from Roxanne. She's a maneater.

this may be yet another song where the Beatles describe their feelings of alienation that came with the pressures and burdens of fame and being the most popular band ever. Supposedly this song was recorded on an acid trip and according to some fan sites on the Net a walrus in some polar/arctic cultures is regarded as a symbol of death, while eggs are regarding as representing life. The lines such as "I'm crying" and "yellow custard dripping from a dead dog's eye" may support this idea.

a three-"chick"-band that originally played country music. In 2003 they got blacklisted from the country establishment when they criticized George W. Bush and the Iraq War. C'mon people, this happens all the time in the worlds of rock and roll and jazz, and no one makes anything about it. Because the Chicks didn't fit the assembly-line template of today's country stars, they had to take a lot of shit from the intolerant comformist establishment in Nashville, especially Toby Keith and others. Country fans publicly trashed Chicks CDs because they expressed a different opinion. C'mon people! Either you like the music or you don't. I got albums from artists that have various opinions and points of view. It's the music that matters.
After the smoke cleared, the Dixie Chicks made a new studio album, and it entered the U.S. album charts at number one and stayed there for a while. It experiments with the tired 70s "California" "champagne cowboy" country rock sound. Baby, that sound just ain't my cup of tea.
