Margo Price Pays Homage to Bob Dylan in ‘Don't Wake Me Up' Video
In the spring of 1965, Bob Dylan stood in an alley by London's Savoy Hotel and practically invented the music video by flipping through cue cards displaying words from 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' while the song played. Fifty years later, Margo Price is paying homage to the historic clip in the video for her new single 'Don't Wake Me Up' from her upcoming album Hard Headed Woman. Price takes the 'Don't Wake Me Up' cue cards on a journey to a bowling alley parking lot, a lush field, a dive bar, a cow patch, a honky tonk bar, a horse stable, a strip club, a factory, a liquor store, a graveyard, a trailer park, a Waffle House, and a strip mall.

See Bob Dylan Play 'The Times They Are a-Changin' for First Time in 15 Years The song is a collaboration with singer/songwriter Jesse Welles. '[He] is one of my favorite new songwriters and a rare prolific artist who really has something to say,' Price says in a statement. 'I met him at Farm Aid, and I became a big fan of his lyrics as well as his voice. I'm so grateful he could join me to sing on this song.' 'Don't Wake Me Up' was inspired by the poems of Frank Stanford and started as a notebook entry that was flagged by Price's husband, Jeremy Ivey. 'We resurrected it with a melody,' Price said. 'The whole thing came together in ten minutes in one of those lightning bolt moments where you're tapped into something bigger than yourself. I wanted to remind people of all the places and ways that we are still allowed to dream even when the outside world seems like a nightmare.' Price recorded Hard Headed Woman in Nashville with longtime producer Matt Ross-Spang. Leadoff single 'Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down' was co-written by Ivey and Rodney Crowell, and posthumous credit was given to Kris Kristofferson. The album, which comes out August 29, also features a duet with Tyler Childers and a cover of the George Jones classic 'I Just Don't Give a Damn.' Price also just rolled out dates for an extensive headlining tour in the fall.

Mark Madryga vs. Kristi Gordon: How Global B.C.'s top two meteorologists disagree on climate change
Pete McMartin: Mark Madryga and Kristi Gordon may share weather forecasting duties on Global News but they don't share the same views on climate change Global News's Mark Madryga and Kristi Gordon are two of the most high-profile meteorologists in B.C.

Access articles from across Canada with one account Share your thoughts and join the conversation in the comments Enjoy additional articles per month Get email updates from your favourite authors Well, maybe you do. Take, for example, Mark Madryga and Kristi Gordon. The duo share the duties of weather forecasting on BCTV's Global News, where they're — by dint of BCTV's dominant audience share — the most high-profile meteorologists in the province. What Madryga and Gordon don't share, however, are views on climate change. Madryga does the morning and noon-hour weather reports: Gordon does the evening telecasts. Madryga has been with BCTV since 1994, and seemed predestined for the job. He began recording weather reports at home on his cassette player when he was nine, and there is a YouTube video of him doing a forecast for Kamloops, where he grew up, when he was 13. He graduated from the University of B.C. with a bachelor of science in physical geography and meteorology in 1986, and then joined Environment Canada as a forecaster before going to BCTV. Affable and folksy on-air, Madryga has cultivated a large and avid following. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Gordon has been with BCTV since 2006. Like Madryga, she graduated from UBC with a bachelor of science in physical geography and atmospheric science in 2001, and represents, she said, 'a younger generation' of meteorologists. It's a distinction she feels that has affected her views and telecasts. Before joining BCTV, she worked as a meteorologist at CTV, where she began incorporating elements of climate change into her telecasts. She talked about energy conservation, humidex levels and heat warnings — common subjects in telecasts now but were rare then. There was pushback. Some questioned the validity of her science. In a 2022 interview with Global News, she said she was initially mocked by colleagues when she wanted to include climate-change elements in her telecasts, to the point 'where the (news) anchors would literally just walk away from me.'

I haven't been threatened, but certainly within Twitter people have been rude to me or told me I'm dumb, that I don't know what I'm talking about or usually something along those lines.' A recent comment from a viewer on her Facebook page was: 'Stop fearmongering.' Nonetheless, Gordon's view about climate change is unequivocal: It is, she believes, an existential threat to mankind, and one she feels compelled to talk about in her telecasts. 'Instead of just saying it was the 13th consecutive month where we've had the hottest temperatures ever, it's important to bring it back to your local area and talk about, 'Well, what does this mean? How do we have to adapt?' We need to be thinking more about how we're going to cool our homes, not just by air-conditioning. We need to be planning for the prospect of flooding. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'It is going to happen. Washouts are going to happen. Mudslides are going to happen. So we need to be thinking about these things, and we can move it in that direction, as opposed to just continuing to basically (talking about daily temperatures) over and over again.' Over time, however, Gordon has tempered talk about climate change in her telecasts. Gone, she said, is the 'alarmist-ish' doomsday talk. 'People just don't need it hammered over their heads. We are now starting to present climate change in a more positive way, by talking about the good things you can do, and about talking about the possibilities and the advancements and the knowledge that we're learning as we go forward.' That audience fatigue — or fear — has had a real impact. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. One U.S. media survey found that in 2023, then the warmest recorded year on the planet, the four major U.S. TV networks scaled back their coverage of climate change by 25 per cent. At the same time, U.S. meteorologists reported increasing pushback from their audiences, including death threats and abusive social-media messaging. Madryga, however, never mentions climate change in his telecasts. He feels it isn't his mandate. 'For clarification,' he wrote in an email, 'you will find no mention in my weather broadcasts to the viewers of 'climate change' — it is always the 'weather' and its impacts that are of primary importance to me. 'My expertise is more forecasting the weather in B.C., and getting the forecast out to the public … It's more those (extreme weather) scenarios I'm concerned about … information that is vital to the public, and I'm a main advocate for that. That's more my agenda, rather than long-term climate change has caused more severe weather. I can't say it has, and it's just more my mandate to look at the weather of the day, or the weather of the week … what's substantial, what's important, what might cause destruction.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. If being part of a new generation of meteorologists informs Gordon's view of climate change, Madryga's length of experience informs his. He has seen a wide range of extreme weather in his career, he said, including examples that have equalled or surpassed recent events that have been ascribed to climate change. So what, he was asked, are his views on climate change? 'It's complicated … I know that the weather has been the reason for droughts, for example, in Western Canada, in B.C., and that has led to the drier forests. You get heat on top of that and that has led to more forests fires. So the weather has been connected to forest fires. But whether that is a long-term climate problem, I would say the jury is still out.' While the public often conflates 'weather' and 'climate' as the same thing, the distinction between the two terms is an important one in meteorology. 'Weather' is short-term phenomena in the atmosphere — sun, rain, temperature and the like on any given day — while 'climate' is the averaged daily weather over an extended period of time at a certain location. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Madryga isn't convinced the long-term horizons of climate are as dire as Gordon believes they are. He is not, he said, an alarmist. 'I don't have that view. I have more of a reasonable view that is … it's an issue, definitely, and especially it bothers me that the oceans are warming and the poles are warming more than other areas. 'So it's not an apocalyptic view that's making me lose sleep at night. And a lot of the chatter we get in the media that … whenever there's a significant weather event that this is going to be the norm and they're going to double and triple in time and we're going to get these severe weather events, and there'll be lives lost and damage will go through the roof and all that … I'm not on that bandwagon by any means.' Two meteorologists, two distinct views on climate change within the same newsroom. Which of them is right, and who's correctly called which way the wind is blowing, is a matter of time we may or may not have. mcmartincharles@ Read More Columnists Vancouver Canucks CFL News Vancouver Canucks

Reflections of the Frozen North
The weather is all about ice but the news is all about a different kind of ICE. The roads have so much salt on them it looks more like Bonneville (Salt Flats) than Boston. Everybody is ticked off, sick of the cold and the dark. Kids are peeved because although it snows, there's not enough accumulation on the week days to give them snow days. Ice and snow cling to plexiglass in the pavillon level at Fenway Park. Stan Grossfeld/Globe Staff Old timers no longer race out to buy eggs, they just complain about the prices. Grandma never leaves the house, afraid she's going to fall. Priorities are out of whack. The day before Valentine's Day is icy. People race around the Commonwealth, not looking for boxes of chocolates, but bags of Ice Melt. Advertisement Weather maps look like acid trips with blues, greens, yellows, and pinks. Oh, that polar vortex . . . A ray of sunshine filters through the seats at Fenway Park. Stan Grossfeld/Globe Staff A Bob Dylan movie is up for eight Oscars, but nobody seems to be paying any attention to the Hibbing, Minn., native's sage advice. 'You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows,' he sang in 'Subterranean Homesick Blues.' But take heart Boston. The sun, when it graces us with its shining presence, is getting stronger every day. Temperatures next week are forecast to be above freezing. The clocks change on March 9 giving us 6:44 p.m. sunsets and the Red Sox opener is less than 4 million seconds away.

Timothée Chalamet Gives A Hilariously Frank Answer About What He'd Say To Bob Dylan
A Complete Unknown star Timothée Chalamet has confirmed that he's still not actually met Bob Dylan, the music legend on whom the biopic is based. Timothée has received a wave of praise for his performance in the film, which has been nominated for a total of eight Oscars, including an acting nod for his leading role. However, throughout the process of making and promoting A Complete Unknown, Timothée has still not had the opportunity to meet its subject. Speaking to US broadcaster Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes earlier this week, Timothée was asked what he'd say to the Subterranean Homesick Blues were their paths to cross in the future. 'I would say thank you, I would just say thank you,' Timothée responded, before quickly changing his mind. 'You know what?' he continued. 'That's bullshit. I'm going to take that back, I wouldn't. Honestly, I would play it super cool, because I feel like he's probably used to so much hyperbole and praise. 'Maybe I would try to out-Bob him, just strangely not bring anything up. Maybe just talk about the weather or what his favourite sandwich is. Something like that.' On whether he thought it was 'weird' to have not met the man he portrayed on the big screen, Timothée insisted: 'I mean, it's not. He doesn't seem like he wants to be bothered by – not me, but everyone in the last 60 or 70 years.' While the folk legend may not have met Timothée, he did give A Complete Unknown his seal of approval in a social media post back in December. 'There's a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!),' he wrote on X. 'Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy's a brilliant actor so I'm sure he's going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.' There's a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role.
