Rock Garden record label ready to recharge Boston

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:37:23 GMT

You’re a long-running rock n’ roll couple with a lot of musical friends, an enduring love for the local scene, and a newly empty nest. So of course, you take that as a cue to start a record label.The Rock Garden showcase, Sunday at Brighton Music Hall, marks the launch of Boston’s newest label. Appearing will be everyone on the roster so far: Most of it traditionally rousing Boston rock n’ roll (the False Positives, Little Billy Lost), some tinged with metal (Fifth Freedom), vintage glam-rock (Smitt E. Smitty & the Feztones), film-noir Americana (Crow Follow) and psychedelia (Galaxy Cake). There will also be a few special guests including one of Boston’s savviest rock songwriters John Powhida, keyboardist around town Captain Easychord, and label founder’s Todd Erickson’s own band Holy Smoke.The event will also double as an impromptu Beatles tribute: Since this week marks the 55th anniversary of the White Album’s release and the syndicated show “Breakfast With the Bea...

Burke: The phantom teacher shortage in public schools

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:37:23 GMT

Pop quiz time. “Teacher shortages have gotten worse.” True or false?False. And yet, that sentence was part of a recent Washington Post headline. And it’s far from uncommon.In fact, public schools have been on a hiring spree for decades. It began with President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society and has continued to the present day, aided partly by a temporary federal COVID bonus payment of $190 billion.In some school districts — mainly in the south and rural areas — and in some subjects (math, special education, foreign languages, chief among them), schools have trouble filling positions. But this problem is not acute. Nationwide, there were 5% more teachers in America’s public schools during the 2020-21 school year than during the 2017-18 school year.Taking a longer view, in 1965, when Johnson launched his War on Poverty — a third of which, he said, “would be fought in the classrooms of America” — there were 1.7 million public school teachers for about 42 million students, equating to ...

Editorial: Antisemitism thriving, spreading on TikTok

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:37:23 GMT

We’ve seen contagions induced by social media before. But the sudden popularity of TikTok videos in which confused young people muse on the merits of Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” reveal the depths of this particular app’s ability to corrupt young minds.Yes, that would be the deranged and paranoid thoughts of the terrorist mastermind of the murderous Sept. 11 attacks. On TikTok, you can find folks wondering aloud if he might just have had a point. The stupidity and ignorance of history boggles the mind.Voices on the left, such as National Public Radio, have tried to argue that the TikTok problem is overblown and white supremacists are the real problem when it comes to rising antisemitism.And, indeed, there is a growing amount of that poison on the far-right fringes.But the left also has to recognize that antisemitism has re-emerged in troubling ways within its core communities, taking parents, ill-prepared college campuses and even some media organizations by surprise.Denyin...

McManus: Biden & Xi agree on the easy steps

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:37:23 GMT

In a world beset by wars in Gaza and Ukraine, it’s good news when two superpowers step back from frictions that increased the danger of another war in Asia.That’s what happened last week when President Joe Biden met with China’s Xi Jinping at a country estate west of Silicon Valley.The two presidents met after a year of frosty noncommunication, touched off by China’s suspected espionage balloon that wandered across U.S. airspace last winter, by aggressive Chinese military actions in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, and by U.S. restrictions on advanced technology.The presidents agreed to bury a few of their differences for the simple reason that neither needs another crisis right now.Beijing’s stock has been falling literally and figuratively. Its economy, once the world’s powerhouse, has slowed to a low-for-China growth rate of 5%. Foreign investors are pulling money out of the country, a reversal of a decades-long trend.On the diplomati...

Dear Abby: Immature sister makes lousy roommate

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:37:23 GMT

Dear Abby: I’m 20, and I recently moved into an apartment with my 19-year-old sister. I thought it would be a great idea because we’d get to see each other more often and we’d be more comfortable living together than with strangers. Recently, however, she has gotten a new boyfriend she brings over all the time.I don’t like people. Having him in my home makes me feel threatened for some reason I can’t figure out, especially since he hasn’t done anything. I acknowledge that fact, and I try not to be nasty to him because of it. The problem is, he comes over during the day, and my sister also has him sneak out of his parents’ house at 2 a.m. so he can sleep here with her.This happens almost every night, and I’m usually awake and hear them. I have told my sister I don’t like it and asked her not to do those things when I’m home, but she won’t listen. She gets upset and defensive and tries to take the blame off of herself b...
