![]() It's certainly not a good time for people to be complacent." When we informed her that Limbaugh was still broadcasting, she said, "A lot of shock jocks, I guess that's what they're called, they stir up a certain dialog with people and I think we're going to see that now with the current president. ![]() I'm sure they had good reason for it, although I still haven't heard his show and I think he's off the air now." "So many people told me to stop him, that it kind of irritated me," said Hynde. When she learned about it, she made sure that any royalties from Limbaugh's use of the song go to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). ![]() In a 2017 Songfacts interview with Chrissie Hynde, she explained that she has never heard Limbaugh's show, and being a resident of England, she wasn't even aware of him. Limbaugh and Hynde have radically different political views, but she cannot stop him from using the song as long as the show continues to pay royalties, and has no interest in doing so. ![]() ![]() The conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh uses the opening riff of this song as theme music for his radio show. ![]() ![]() Addie is lovable for her strength and resistance through the confines of her curse. ![]() There are three central and beautifully intertwined characters: Addie, Luc (the god who cursed her), and Henry (the first person to remember Addie in 300 years). This is a novel made extraordinary by its characters. Indeed, she lives through three centuries before hearing the fateful words “I remember you.” A tale about what it means to be remembered, this book delivers a powerful message about resilience and impact wrapped in captivating prose. Addie is given immortality, but in return, everyone she ever meets is bound to forget her. The novel follows protagonist Addie LaRue, a young woman who, in order to escape her marriage in early eighteenth-century France, makes a Faustian bargain with a mysterious god. “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue,” a book about a girl cursed to be forgotten, is a stunningly memorable work filled with love, loss, and wonder. ![]() ![]() In Chapter 1, Schaeffer suggests that all present-day philosophic trends began with Thomas Aquinas’ distinction between “Nature” and “Grace,” a move which made man’s intellect autonomous with no relationship to Scripture. This review will briefly summarize Schaeffer’s key points and then point out just one intriguing and applicable thought besides. ![]() Building upon similar threads of reasoning that he developed in his monumental work, The God Who is There, Francis Schaeffer in his follow-up work Escape from Reason delivers a most challenging decree to true believers not only that we must all understand the thought-forms that permeate our time periods and cultures, but that we must also engage those thought-forms in honest debate, pitting such ever-evolving philosophies against the ever-stable Word of God. ![]() ![]() ![]() All she wants is to take the picture that makes her sister smile. ![]() But Ruth's depression has been getting worse, so Olivia has created a plan to help her remember how life used to be: a makeshift scavenger hunt across the country, like pirates hunting for treasure, taking pictures and making memories along the way.
