<mask> (born October 30, 1961) is an American filmmaker and producer. Particularly focused on true crime documentaries, <mask>'s films and docu-series draw attention to social justice issues in the US and abroad in such films as Brother's Keeper, Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, Crude, Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger and Intent To Destroy: Death, Denial and Depiction. A 2017 HuffPost article said "Brother's Keeper (1992) and the Paradise Lost trilogy (1996–2011) helped pioneer the style of documentary filmmaking [seen] in Netflix's recent true crime sensation, Making a Murderer—a combination of artful cinematography, a stirring musical soundtrack, and a dramatic narrative structure as compelling as any scripted film." <mask> spearheaded and directed two 2019 projects centered on the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy: the Netflix docu-series Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, and the drama film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, starring Zac Efron. Early life and education

<mask> was born to a Jewish family in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He graduated from Colgate University in 1983 with a B.A. in German Language.Early career
After graduating from Colgate University, Berlinger took a position working at an advertising agency in Frankfurt, Germany. He soon transitioned into the world of film, working as an apprentice to the iconic documentarians Albert and David Maysles. <mask> met his future directing partner, Bruce Sinofsky, while they were both employed by the Maysles. Together they would make their directing debut with the 1992 film Brother's Keeper. Collaboration with Bruce Sinofsky
Working as a directing duo, <mask> and Sinofsky created the landmark documentary Brother's Keeper (1992), which tells the story of Delbert Ward, an uneducated elderly man in Munnsville, New York, who was charged with second-degree murder following the death of his brother William. Film critic Roger Ebert called it "an extraordinary documentary about what happened next, as a town banded together to stop what folks saw as a miscarriage of justice." The pair went on to direct the Paradise Lost Trilogy--Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996), Paradise Lost 2: Revelations (2000), and Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory (2011), which earned the pair an Academy Award nomination.The trilogy, shot over two decades, focused on the West Memphis Three, a group of teenagers who were wrongfully convicted of the brutal murder of three children. The trilogy raised doubts about the legitimacy of the teenagers' convictions and spurred a movement to release them from prison, where one of the men was awaiting a death sentence. In 2011, the West Memphis Three were released from their respective death and life sentences after filing an Alford Plea with the Federal Court of Arkansas.Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004), called "one of the most revelatory rock portraits ever made" follows the popular heavy metal band Metallica. Berlinger and Sinofsky capture the group at a crossroads, as bassist Jason Newsted quits the band and frontman James Hetfield abruptly leaves to enter a rehabilitation facility due to alcohol abuse. The film was critically acclaimed for capturing Metallica, a global phenomenon, at a moment of true vulnerability. Sinofsky died on February 21, 2015 at the age of 58, from diabetes-related complications. The band Metallica paid tribute to him as a "courageous man with deep empathy and wisdom who wasn't afraid to dig deep to tell the story."Berlinger wrote that Sinofsky's "humanity is on every frame of the films that he leaves behind."

Berlinger traces Whitey's trail of terror as well as the FBI's role in both enabling him and taking him down. Berlinger captured Tony Robbins' exclusive and notoriously private Date With Destiny seminar in his 2016 film Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru.Berlinger chronicles the six-day seminar and the personal evolutions and breakthroughs of participants, Robbins and even Berlinger himself. In 2017 Berlinger released Intent to Destroy: Death, Denial & Depiction, an examination of the Armenian genocide through both seated interviews with experts and behind-the-scenes footage of Terry George's historical drama The Promise (2016). In 2019, Berlinger re-entered the world of narrative film and directed Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, his second feature. The film chronicles the life of serial killer Ted Bundy and his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall. Starring Zac Efron, Lily Collins, Jim Parsons, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan, <mask> Osment and Angela Sarafyan, the film screened at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival in January. Television
, <mask> has directed 15 documentary series for television, including Oprah's Master Class (2011–2012), Iconoclasts (2005–2012), The System With <mask>ger (2014), Killing Richard Glossip (2017), Gone: The Forgotten Women of Ohio (2017), and Cold Blooded: The Clutter Family Murders (2017). Berlinger has three television projects slated for release in 2018: Unspeakable Crime: The Burning of Jessica Chambers (NBC/Oxygen), Wrong Man (STARZ), and a special fifth episode of Killing Richard Glossip (Discovery ID).Literature and philanthropy
In collaboration with journalist Greg Milner, Berlinger wrote the book Metallica: This Monster Lives (2004), about his early career, accomplishments and challenges forging his path in the world of film. The book is centered around the filming of Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. Berlinger serves on the board of Proclaim Justice, a nonprofit dedicated to providing resources and building awareness around wrongful convictions. He also serves on the board of Rehabilitation Through the Arts, The Bedford Playhouse and the International Documentary Association. Legal battles over Crude
Chevron Corporation subpoenaed the outtakes from <mask>'s 2009 film Crude. Berlinger fought the request, citing reporters' privilege, but in 2010 a federal judge ordered Berlinger to turn over more than 600 hours of footage created during the film's production. Berlinger appealed, but in 2011 the US 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court ruling against Berlinger, though with a slight reduction in the total hours of footage required.Folkenflik, David (2010-06-04).A 'Crude' awakening: Chevron Vs. The documentarian, National Public Radio, see . After spending $1.3 million on legal fees on the case, Berlinger expressed concerns about being able to make documentaries about legal cases in the future. Paradise Lost
Berlinger is best known for the film series Paradise Lost, which documents the murder trial and the subsequent legal battles of three Arkansas teenagers, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr.,  convicted of murder. The court convicted the youths (known as the West Memphis Three) of murdering three eight-year-old boys as part of a "ritual killing," although no physical evidence linked the three young men to the crime. Paradise Lost'' documents the 20-year ordeal of these three young men from arrest to conviction, through years of unsuccessful legal efforts, to a plea bargain that resulted in their release in the summer of 2012. The film series brought mainstream attention to the case, and many celebrities took up the cause of getting these young men out of prison and getting Damien Echols off death row.The mainstream attention, brought on by the documentary series, allowed for a well-financed legal team to investigate every lead in the case. These subsequent investigations showed the incompetence of the West Memphis police, who had never dealt with this type of crime, and that the police let other suspects disappear from the community; for example, a man covered in blood used a restroom in a restaurant within walking distance of the murder scene shortly after the time of the murders. In addition to the failure to apprehend the suspect, the police lost the blood samples, even though this strange man left blood all over the bathroom. This mistake meant that the experts could never determine if this strange man was covered in the victims' blood. Ultimately, the defense team hired DNA experts to test genetic material after fighting the prosecution for years to get access to it, and these tests again proved that no physical evidence linked the West Memphis Three to the murders; rather, a hair from one boy's stepfather was found tied into one of the shoelaces used to hogtie the victims. After a 2010 decision by the Arkansas Supreme Court regarding newly produced DNA evidence, attorneys for the West Memphis Three negotiated with prosecutors an Alford plea allowing them to assert their innocence while acknowledging enough evidence to convict them; the result, on August 19, 2011, was acceptance of the pleas by Judge David Laser, and his reduction of sentence of the three to time served, and their release with 10-year suspended sentences (after 18 years, 78 days in prison).

<mask> lives with his wife, artist Loren Eiferman, in Westchester County, New York.Filmography

<mask>  (Lorient, 4 October 1747 – Cape Town, 26 May 1811) was a French mariner, navigator, cartographer and South African pioneer. Birth and French Origins
Born in Lorient, France, <mask> was an illegitimate child. According to French naval records, his father was <mask>, a long-serving member of the French army (born in Tarascon as Antoine Lebre, he adopted the surname <mask> as a nom-de-guerre, became commander of the citadel of Port-Louis, Morbihan and died in Bayonne in 1768 while commanding the citadel there). According to one document, his mother was Anne le Goff, about whom nothing is known. Life
After a career in the French East India Company, during which he obtained training as a member of the Company's elite officer corps, <mask> traded independently in the Indian Ocean and, after settling at the Cape, entered the service of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), on whose behalf he completed several voyages to Ceylon (Sri Lanka), India, Madagascar and Delagoa Bay. In 1781 he was sent on a special mission to Europe to report on the VOC's losses during the American War of Independence and, after the capture of his ship by the British, returned as captain of the Meermin, on which during the next 10 years he carried out important survey work of the southern African coastline. He played a leading role in the establishment of Freemasonry in South Africa.Early life
After a voyage as a supernumeraire on the Vengeur, he was pilot (second ensign) on the Dromadaire (500 tons) which sailed for Mauritius (Ile de France) in 1759. He was again pilot as a junior officer on the Comte de Argenson (1,000 tons) which sailed to Pondichéry (India) in April 1765 and on the Duc de Penthièvre (900 tons), which sailed to Canton (China) in December 1767. His employment as pilot reflects his lasting interest in navigation and his skill in calculating longitude using lunar distances, the method devised by  Jean-Baptiste d’Apres de Mannevillette, the Company's cartographer. His journals record his daily calculation of the ship's latitude and longitude. The French Marine
On his return to Lorient in mid-1769, <mask> left the service of the French East India Company after the French government had allowed private French traders to send ships to the East. He was second-lieutenant on the Gerion (250 tons, 5 cannons), chartered by a group of speculators and commanded by family relative Mathieu Lunel <mask>. It sailed from Lorient for Mauritius in October 1769, returning in May 1771.He was then first-lieutenant on the Ceres (1,000 tons, 3 cannon) on its voyage to Pondichéry (December 1771 - May 1774). His qualification as captain in the French Marine in July 1774 created many lucrative opportunities, not least because ship's captains could carry cargo and sell it for their own profit. He was at first only second captain of the Salomon, of 350 tons and 8 cannon, commanded by Jacques Pierre Bourdé de la Villehuet, an experienced captain who had also left the French East India Company. After conveying passengers to Mauritius and hunting whales off the east coast of Madagascar, a group of uncharted islands was discovered. They are still known as the ‘Salomon Islands’ and are part of the Chagos Group. Duminy left the Salomon to obtain provisions from Reunion in the yacht Heureux and on 22 August assumed command of the Belle Artur, a privately owned [[Snow (ship}|snow]] that sailed from Port Louis (Mauritius) on 15 September 1776. He intended to trade for slaves at Madagascar but, when these were unobtainable, agreed to convey Baron Maurice Benyokswy to Cape Town.Benyowsky was returning to France to defend his ambitious plan to exploit the resources of Madagascar for the French King. His entourage included his wife, his sister-in-law, and thirty slaves; the slaves were sold in Cape Town. East African trade
On 2 February 1777 <mask> married Johanna, the daughter of Benjamin and Johanna Nöthling, the proprietors of a guest house in the Heerengraght (now Adderley Street) where he had stayed on his return to France on the Ceres four years previously. He intended to continue his trading activities, using Cape Town as his base, and at the end of the year undertook a slaving expedition in the Deodat, a small 130-ton ship, to Ibo Island, where the Portuguese authorities had begun to allow foreigners to trade. In the following year, he undertook a similar expedition on the Sainte Therese (230 tons), which had sailed to Cape Town from Lorient under the command of Bourdé de la Villehuet. He acquired 160 slaves on the first voyage and 257 on the second. In the Service of the Dutch East India Company
Duminy's trading activities from Cape Town were interrupted by the outbreak of the American War of Independence in mid-1778 because France entered the war in support of the American rebels, with the result that armed conflict soon extended to the Indian Ocean.At the end of 1780, the Dutch Republic also declared war on Britain and Duminy was given the command of the Betsy, a British brig that had escaped the destruction of the British fleet at Yorktown and had been renamed the Postillon, to convey the news to the Company's authorities in India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The decision to enter the war proved extremely costly for the Dutch, for they lost most of their shipping and trading bases in the Indian Ocean and, after the arrival of a stricken fleet had brought news of further disasters to Cape Town, it was decided that Duminy would sail to Europe in the Postillon to convey this news to the Dutch East India Company's authorities. The Postillon was however intercepted by a British fleet and Duminy was taken to the West Indies as a prisoner of war after he had thrown his despatches into the sea. Fortunately for him, a truce had just been signed so that he was able to sail to Holland via England as a passenger. In Holland, he was given the command of the Meermin, a newly built frigate (500 tons, 26 guns) and given the task of escorting six company vessels transporting the de Meuron Regiment which was to bolster the Dutch forces in Ceylon. The Order of St. Philippe
Duminy was admitted to The Order of St Philippe as a Knight Commander and Chevalier Grand Cross when he visited Europe in 1783. This Order had been established in 1768 by Philip Ferdinand, Count of Limburg-Styrum, to raise money to pay for his extravagant lifestyle.It was awarded to prominent individuals, usually after the payment of a fee. Holders of the Chevalier Grand Cross had to prove 20 years of service in the army or navy. It is not known why Duminy should have sought this award or how much he paid for the honour. During his visit to Holland he had in fact declared his inability to repay an earlier debt. Slaving in De Meermin
The Meermin was to remain at Cape Town for the next 12 years, most of it under <mask>'s command. His first instructions from the VOC authorities were to make two visits to Madagascar and Mozambique to purchase slaves during 1784 and 1785. On the first, he obtained 316, 105 of whom died on the return journey, and on the second 345, 50 of whom died.These were the last slaving expeditions conducted from Cape Town by the VOC. It was also <mask>'s last involvement in slaving, despite the opportunities that were offered by privatisation at the end of 1792. He was asked to provide guidelines for future expeditions and this he did in December 1786, followed by another document dealing with the mortality of slaves in which he ascribed most of the deaths to diseases which had been contracted before transit. Equipage Master and Captain of the Port
In March 1786 <mask> was appointed Equipage Master by Governor van de Graaff. In this position he was responsible for provisioning all Dutch East India Company ships and for supervising all shipping activities along the Cape coast. His duties included serving on a commission to report on the export of grain from Mossel Bay and of timber from Plettenberg Bay, as well as charting of the southern Cape coastline which had not been surveyed since Mannevillette's 1752 survey. The appointment was disallowed by the directors of the VOC, supposedly on the grounds that Duminy was French, but Duminy continued his duties of Captain of the Port and also with the survey of the coastline.The brig Duifje (400 tons) was better suited for survey work and coastal sailing and, also captained by <mask>, was stationed at the Cape between 1788 and 1791 to assist in this work. In August 1788 he called at Plettenberg Bay to load the first consignment of timber. Charting the Cape Coastline
Duminy appears to have produced his first charts of the coastline in 1782 and drew several improved versions during the next 8 years. In 1790 a map showing the coastline as well as a section of the interior was presented to van de Graaff, following a land survey carried out by J.N.Friderici and Josephus Jones. In 1791 Duminy then explored the west coast north of Saldanha Bay to assess the suitability of St Helena Bay as a harbour and, between 1791 and 1792, was sent to Mauritius on board the Meermin to sell a consignment of wheat and obtain coffee and timber. The voyage turned out to be nightmarish, for it ran into a cyclone and smallpox broke out amongst the crew. Expedition to Walvis Bay
<mask>'s last assignment for the Dutch East India Company before his retirement from the sea was to lead an expedition up the West coast as far as Walvis Bay, where it was hoped to link up with an overland expedition led by Willem van Reenen.Surveying the coastline as best he could, he anchored to the north of the island which he named ‘Possession Island’ (the nearby coastline he named ‘Elisabeth Bay’). Proceeding northwards, he visited the bay known by the Portuguese as Angra Pequena, which he renamed ‘Beschermer’s Bay’ (now known as Luderitz) and, after anchoring and going ashore in a bay which he named ‘Rhenius Bay’ (now known as Stormvogelbucht), he sailed on to Walvis Bay. Five beacons were erected at these places to indicate possession by the VOC. <mask> Point, a position of navigational importance, between Saldanha Bay and Cape Columbine, is named after him. Last Years
After retiring from a life at sea, Duminy looked forward to profiting from farming, taking advantage of the VOC administration's decision to privatise grain and meat production. He built a substantial homestead at Bokkerivier (a quitrent property at Riviersonderend) and acquired Blaauweklip (Kykoedie) and Compagniesdam (a freehold property at Blouberg). These properties were well-suited for timber, fruit-growing and stock and grain farming.In Cape Town he built a large house (le Jardin) on a 2.5 hectare plot in Table Valley. His expectations were not to be realised however and the last years of his life were characterised by financial worries and declining health. The main reason for this decline in fortune was the end of the VOC's administration (followed by its bankruptcy) and the occupation of the Cape in 1795 by Britain, following the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars. The British occupation put an end to the profitable liaison with Company officials which <mask> and others had enjoyed. Although his fortunes improved during the Batavian administration (1803-6), when he was appointed Harbour Master of Simonstown, he was dismissed after the second British administration. Personal life
After their marriage in 1777, the family lived in a rented house on Kerkplein, on which the National Mutual Building now stands. During his extended periods at sea, his wife appears to have lived with her mother in the family house on the Heerengracht.Their daughter Jeanne Francoise was born in 1779, followed by one son, Francois Antoine Benjamin (1785) a second daughter Margaretha Victoire (1787) died in infancy . A third daughter, Reinette Wilhelmina, was born in 1789 and a second son Benjamin Jacob Wilhelm (1793). Following his residence at Simonstown between 1803 and 1806, Johanna died of depression in 1807 and Duminy lived in rented properties in Cape Town, visiting his daughter Jeanne who farmed at Bokkerevier and the mineral springs at Caledon, which were believed to provide relief for his gout and arteriosclerosis. He died in Cape Town on 26 May 1811 and was buried in the old Somerset Road cemetery (cleared in 1909 to make way for street development). Freemasonry
The Freemasonry movement grew prodigiously in France during the eighteenth century. Influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment, in which Duminy was well-read, many of its members were vociferous champions of republicanism and opponents of the ‘superstition’ which was seen to characterise Western religion. When visiting Europe in 1783, he was confirmed as a Grand Inspector of the Chapter of the Grand Orient and raised to the Rose Croix and Kadosh degrees.On his return to Cape Town, he issued a warrant for the establishment of the Lodge St André d’Afrique, after which the Lodge de Goede Hoop was revived (it had been established in 1772 by a member of the Dutch Masonic movement). <mask> was installed as Grand Master, a position he held until 1799, when he declined re-election. The Lodge de Goede Hoop prospered to the extent that by 1802 an impressive Lodge was built on Stalplein, designed by Louis Thibault, a fellow-Frenchman and freemason. The South African Masonic movement and <mask>'s involvement in it was however drastically affected by the British occupation. Admiral Elphinstone and Major-General Craig were both invited to attend the Lodge's meetings but this did not prevent the establishment of a separate English-speaking lodge. A further blow occurred when the Batavian Commissioner J.A. de Mist arrived in 1803.He was the Deputy Grand Master of the Dutch Grand Lodge. Determined to assert his authority, he terminated <mask>'s appointment as Inspector-General. After the second British occupation, the Lodge de Goede Hoop was increasingly influenced by the English Masonic movement and became more concerned with social respectability than with the political radicalism that had inspired the American and French Revolutions.

Augustus "<mask>" <mask> (21 March 1911 – 17 October 1994) was a Welsh professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1920s through to the 1950s, and coached in the 1940s through to the 1970s. A devastating three-quarter who also played at , and stand-off, <mask> was born in Cardiff, brought up in Barry where he went to Barry County School, and played rugby union in South Wales as a schoolboy before being offered a trial by Salford. He made his début for Salford on 31 August 1929 and went on to enjoy great success with the club. He won 17 caps for Great Britain and finished his career at Workington Town, remarkably leading them to Rugby League Challenge Cup glory as player-coach at the age of 41 in 1952. He retired as a player in 1954 after a career spanning 25 years. Risman captained the 1946 "Indomitable" tourists of Australia. Risman later coached Whitehaven, Oldham and Bradford Northern, and was inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 1988.<mask>'s son, Bev <mask> also became an accomplished rugby league footballer. As a tribute, one of the newly created streets in Workington's regenerated town centre is named Risman Place. Playing career

During the period before signing for Salford, <mask> was also courted by association football clubs. Tottenham Hotspur offered Risman terms. However, in those days football did not have the huge initial gravitas it enjoys today. During the 1920s, signing for a rugby league club was more financially rewarding. Signing-on fees were restricted or capped in football, whereas in rugby league such fees could be a year's worth of work and playing wages combined.Les Diables Rouges
<mask> was one of the players who successfully toured in France with Salford in 1934, during which the Salford team earned the name "Les Diables Rouges", the seventeen players were; Joe Bradbury, Bob Brown, Aubrey Casewell, Paddy Dalton, Bert Day, Cliff Evans, Jack Feetham, George Harris, Barney Hudson, Emlyn Jenkins, Alf Middleton, Sammy Miller, Harold Osbaldestin, Les Pearson, <mask>, Billy Watkins and Billy Williams. International honours
<mask> won caps for Wales while at Salford 1931…1945 18-caps, won a cap for England while at Salford in 1934 against France, and won caps for Great Britain while at Salford in 1932 against Australia, New Zealand (3 matches), in 1933 against Australia (3 matches), in 1936 against Australia (2 matches), New Zealand (2 matches), in 1937 against Australia (3 matches), and in 1946 against Australia (3 matches). Wales and England
Only four rugby league footballers have played initially for Wales, and then subsequently for England, they are; Emlyn Jenkins, <mask>, Jim Sullivan and Les White. Championship Final appearances

County Cup Final appearances
About Gus Risman's time, there was Salford's 2–15 defeat by Warrington in the 1929 Lancashire Cup Final  at Central Park, Wigan on 23 November 1929, the 10–8 victory over Swinton in the 1931 Lancashire Cup Final  at The Cliff, Broughton, Salford on 21 November 1931, the 21–12 victory over Wigan in the 1934 Lancashire Cup Final  at Station Road, Swinton on 20 October 1934, the 15–7 victory over Wigan in the 1935 Lancashire Cup Final  at Wilderspool, Warrington on 19 October 1935, the 5–2 victory over Wigan in the 1936 Lancashire Cup Final at Wilderspool, Warrington on 17 October 1936, and played stand-off in the 7–10 defeat by Wigan in the 1938 Lancashire Cup Final Station Road, Swinton on 22 October 1938. Other notable matches
Gus Risman played centre for a Rugby League XIII against Northern Command XIII at Thrum Hall, Halifax on 21 March 1942.Despite turning professional, Risman was part of the 1945 British Empire Forces rugby union team that played France, during a period when the strict guideline between amateur and professional were relaxed. Risman, playing at centre, scored two tries and three conversions in that game helping the British to a 27–6 victory. Career records
<mask> holds Workington Town's "Appearances in a Season" record (with 45-appearances in the 1953–54 season), and as of 2015, with 4,050-points is fourth on British rugby league's "most points in a career" record list behind Neil Fox, Jim Sullivan and Kevin Sinfield. <mask> is one of less than ten Welshmen to have scored more than 2,000-points in their rugby league career, and is one of less than twenty Welshmen to have scored more than 200-tries in their rugby league career.

<mask> (born July 1975) is an American cartoonist born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Biography

Early life and education

After growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, <mask> moved to Chicago in 2000 to pursue an MFA at the School of the Art Institute. By the time he finished his studies, <mask> had abandoned painting and started drawing comics seriously. Career

<mask> specializes in personal and intimate works detailing moments in relationships. He writes and draws his comics in sketchbooks, and his drawing style mirrors the strain and awkwardness of the situations he depicts. His first self-published book, Clumsy (2002), appeared seemingly out of nowhere to grab attention from cartoonists and comics fans, alike. Established as a sensitive chronicler of bittersweet young-adult romance and nonsensical superhero parody, <mask>'s current direction remains split between autobiographical material, examining the minutae of everyday life, whatever humorous fiction he feels in the mood for, and a wide range of fiction subjects in his series Sulk.<mask> has also created two series of books set in the Star Wars expanded universe (under the "Legends" & "Infinities" brands). In 2012, <mask> told USA Today about how Mark Alan Stamaty's picture book Small in the Saddle had influenced his own career and about subsequently meeting its author; <mask>'s girlfriend (and later his wife) had helped him find a copy. Personal life
<mask> lives in Chicago with his wife Jennifer and their two sons. Comic works

<mask>'s most popular works — Clumsy (2002; the story of a long-distance relationship), Unlikely (the story of how <mask> lost his virginity), and AEIOU (Any Easy Intimacy (Over Us)) — comprise the so-called "Girlfriend Trilogy" and its epilogue, Every Girl is the End of the World For Me. More recently, his autobiographical work has included Little Things, and the memoirs Funny Misshapen Body and A Matter Of Life. His humorous works include Bighead (a super-hero parody), I Am Going To Be Small, Cat Getting Out Of A Bag, Kids Are Weird, and the graphic novel series Incredible Change-Bots. His work has been featured in MOME Summer 2005, Vol.1, as well as Drawn & Quarterly Showcase, McSweeney's #13, and The Best American Comics 2007. He was also featured in local newspapers such as the Chicago Reader and NewCity. <mask>'s "To Phoenix I'm Sorry I Missed You" was published in the Spring 2008 issue of The Florida Review. <mask> has written and drawn seven books set in the Star Wars expanded universe. These include four humorous takes on Darth Vader as a hapless father to young Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia — Darth Vader and Son, Vader's Little Princess, Goodnight, Darth Vader, and Darth Vader and Friends — and three volumes in the Jedi Academy series, which are young-adult novels done in the mixed cartooning and diary style of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Critical and commercial reception

He won an Ignatz Award in 2003 in the category of Outstanding Mini-Comic, for I Am Going To Be Small. James Kochalka has called <mask>'s Clumsy his "favorite graphic novel ever."Clumsy (2002) was originally self-published and was later published by Top Shelf Productions; as of 2007, an estimated 20,000 copies have been printed, according to an interview with <mask> in The Comics Journal. <mask> won back-to-back Eisner Awards for Best Humor Publication, for Darth Vader And Son (2013) and Vader's Little Princess (2014). Other work

<mask> has contributed to NPR's This American Life (April 18, 2003). <mask> directed the animated music video for Death Cab for Cutie's "Your Heart is an Empty Room" (April 11, 2006). He was featured in Bruce Parsons' documentary Drawing Between The Lines (2009). He illustrated the movie poster for the feature-length documentary Rabbit Fever (2009). He co-wrote the feature film, Save the Date (2012), with Egan Reich and Michael Mohan.The film, directed by Mohan, stars Lizzy Caplan, Alison Brie, Martin Starr, Geoffrey Arend, and Mark Webber.

<mask> (born 1941) is a specialist in pharmacology and molecular medicine and is one of the leading scientists in the field of hypertension. He founded the World Health Summit in 2009. He was Chairman of the Foundation Board of the Charité Foundation (2005–2015), editor of the Journal of Molecular Medicine (since 1993), Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology as well as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ethnological Museum Dahlem of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. From 2004 to 2008, he was CEO of the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. and from 1991 to 2004 Founding Director and CEO of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association. Academic and professional career
Ganten was born in Lüneburg. He completed agricultural training in Elmshorn in 1959 with the agricultural assistant state examination.Following his secondary education he studied medicine in Würzburg and Montpellier from 1962 to 1964 and worked in the surgical ward of the hospital "La Mamounia" in Marrakesh. From 1966 to 1968 he continued his medical studies in Tübingen, concluding them with the medical state examination and subsequent internships in Tübingen and Emden. In 1968 Ganten received his MD from the University of Tübingen followed by a research period (1969 to 1973) at the Clinical Research Institute in Montreal affiliated with the University of Montreal. In 1970 he received his license to practice medicine and then in 1973, obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from McGill University in Montreal. From 1973 to 1991 Ganten worked for the Pharmacological Institute of the University of Heidelberg where he also qualified as a professor in 1974. In 1975 he received a professorship in Pharmacology at the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University. In 1978 he became specialist in Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacology.On 1 January 1992, Ganten was appointed Founding Director of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin-Buch. His task was to transform the central institutions for cardiovascular research, cancer research and molecular biology of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR into a new national center for health research of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres. Around the same time (1993) he was offered the chair for Clinical Pharmacology at the Free University of Berlin. In this period he promoted clinical translational research from basic research to clinical application, intensifying the cooperation in the field of basic research at the MDC with the hospitals in Berlin-Buch, the hospitals of the Medical Faculties of the Free University in Berlin-Steglitz (Klinikum Benjamin Franklin) and Wedding (Virchow-Klinikum) and the Medical Faculty of the Humboldt University (Charité Campus Mitte). In 2004, the Senate of Berlin appointed Ganten CEO of the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Under his direction the locations of academic medicine in East and West Berlin were united. As a result of the merger with the "Universitätsklinikum Benjamin Franklin" of the Free University of Berlin, the Charité Berlin became a member of both universities and thus the largest university hospital in Germany.Ganten held the office of CEO of the Charité – Universitätsmedizin until 2008. The year 2005 saw the establishment of the Charité Foundation by donor Johanna Quandt and Ganten. Since then, Ganten has been acting Chairman of the Foundation Board. Support from the Charité Foundation helped to establish an increasingly closer association between the Charité – Universitätsmedizin and the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin-Buch. The formation of the "Berlin Institute of Health (BIH)" was founded in 2013 through an agreement of the Federal Ministry for Research and Technology and the Senate of Berlin. The BIH provides a joint structure and platform for MDC and Charité to strengthen their clinical research initiatives. On occasion of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Charité in 2009, Ganten launched the World Health Summit, one of the world’s leading strategic forums for global health taking place annually in Berlin.He held the position of World Health Summit President from 2009 until 2020. In 2013 Ganten was elected co-chair of the Interacademy Medical Panel (IAMP). Fields of research
Ganten's major area of research is hypertension. He discovered basic mechanisms underlying the development of hypertension and is investigating the hormonal regulation of hypertension, in particular the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system. Further key research interests include the genomic and molecular mechanisms of evolution and evolutionary medicine, concepts for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, Public Health, Global Health and Bioethics. His scientific work won Ganten visiting professorships at the University of California in 1983, at the Collège de France, Paris, in 2010 respectively. Ganten is also an editor of the Journal of Molecular Medicine (since 1993).Ganten has been president and coordinator of numerous scientific conferences, among them: Scientific Meeting of the European and International Societies of Hypertension (Heidelberg 1986, Berlin 2008); Gordon Conference (1997, Italy); and the Annual Meeting of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Physicians (Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte, GDNÄ – Berlin 1998).

Prince <mask>v (), also known as Pavle Dimitris dze Tsitsishvili (; —) was a Georgian nobleman and a prominent General of the Imperial Russian Army. Serving in the Russo-Persian War of 1804-1813, from 1802 to 1806 he also served as the Russian Commander-in-chief in the Caucasus. He also played a big role in the Circassian genocide, being one of the first Russian generals to start using genocidal methods against civilians in the Russo-Circassian War. He referred to the indigenous Circassians as "untrustworthy swine" to "show how insignificant they are compared to Russia". Family and early career

Tsitsianov was born in the noble Georgian family of Tsitsishvili to Dimitri Pavles dze Tsitsishvili and his wife Elizabeth Bagration-Davitashvili. His grandfather, Paata, moved to Russia in the early 1700s as part of a group of Georgian émigrés accompanying the exiled Georgian monarch Vakhtang VI. Tsitsianov had a younger brother, Mikhail Dmitrievich Tsitsianov, a Senator of the Russian Empire.Tsitsianov began his career at the elite Preobrazhensky Regiment of the Imperial Guard (Russia) in 1772. In 1786 he was appointed Colonel of a Grenadier regiment and it was in this capacity that he began his distinguished career during the Russo-Turkish War (1787–92) under Catherine the Great. In the aforementioned war, he fought at Khotin, on the Salchea River, at Ismail, and Bender. In 1796 the Empress scrambled to belatedly punish Persia for its invasion of Georgia, sending-off Tsitsianov as part of the Persian Expedition of 1796 under the command of Count Valerian Zubov. Following the mixed results of the mission, as well as the death of the Empress and the subsequent disorder associated with the reign of Emperor Paul I, Tsitsianov temporarily retired from service but returned to work after the enthronement of Alexander I.

Tsitsianov's rule in Georgia and wars in the Caucasus
In 1802 Tsitsianov was appointed the Governor General of newly annexed Eastern Georgia(Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti), where his rule was characterized by uncompromising policies towards the locals, including the exile of the remaining members of Georgia's formerly ruling dynasty to Russia. He successfully carried out highly important projects, such as upgrading the Georgian Military Road, and by leading the Russian armies to successes in the early stages of the upcoming 1804-1813 Russo-Iranian war. Tsitsianov's name was commonly pronounced as "Sisianov" or "Zizianov" in Persian; however, his title, "the Inspector", was pronounced as "Ispokhdor" in Azeri Turkish.Most Iranians referred to him by this title. "Ispokhdor" literally translates as "his work is shit / he whose job is shit". As Prof. Stephanie Cronin states, Tsitsianov presided over a new round of brutal military aggression, that triggered the Russo-Persian War of 1804-1813. He had strong negative feelings towards Muslims in general and the "Persians" in particular, and held in contempt everything related to Iran. A prime example of tactics and attitude were shown in the conquest of Ganja in early 1804. As added by Cronin, Tsitsianov's conquest of Ganja, which reduced the city to rubble and resulted in the murder of its governor, Javad Khan, his son, and many of the city's defenders and civilian population, was no less brutal and murderous than Agha Mohammad Khan's sack of Tiflis in 1795. Though many resented his policies, Tsitsianov's rule brought some of the much needed stability for Georgians, particularly in terms of keeping at bay the previously rampant incursions and marauding by Lezgian mountaineers.When one of his generals was killed in battle with the Lezgians, his rage knew no bounds and wrote an angry letter to the Sultan of Elisu: "Shameless sultan with the soul of a Persian - so you still dare to write to me! Yours is the soul of a dog and the understanding of an ass, yet you think to deceive me with your specious phrases. Know that until you become a loyal vassal of my Emperor I shall only long to wash my boots in your blood": Under the orders of Emperor Alexander I, he later led the Russian armies into the new Russo-Persian War. In the summer of 1804, he advanced against the Persian forces in Persian Armenia, and fought at Gyumri, Echmiadzin, on the Zang River, and finally Yerevan. His actions earned him the Order of St. Vladimir, 1st Degree. Death and related myths
In 1806 he rode up to the walls of Baku, with characteristic bravado, to partake in the ceremony of transferring the city to Russian rule after a successful siege. When the general was about to receive the keys to the city, troops loyal to the Khan of Baku unexpectedly shot him and his fellow Georgian aide-de-camp Elisbar Eristov, with Tsitsianov's head and both hands cut off.The third member of the small mission escaped to relate the gruesome tale. His head was sent to Fat′h-Ali Shah Qajar in Tehran. In relation to this episode, it is noteworthy that in 1806, Mirza Mohammad Akhbari, a teacher of Akhbari school of Fiqh (Islamic Law) in Tehran, allegedly promised Fat′h-Ali Shah Qajar to secure the death of Tsitsianov by supernatural means. Retreating for a period of forty days to the shrine at Shah-Abdol-Azim, he began to engage in certain magical practices, such as beheading wax figures representing Tsitsianov. After the general was in fact assassinated, his severed head (or, according to some accounts, hand) arrived in Tehran just before the forty days were up. Because Fat′h-Ali Shah feared that the supernatural powers of Mirza might be turned against him, he exiled him to Arab Iraq. References

<mask> (born 11 February 1944) is an English former footballer and manager who is now chief scout at Sheffield United. As a player, he scored 101 goals in 404 league games in a 16-year career in the English Football League. A striker, he began his career with hometown club Oldham Athletic in 1963. Three years later he moved on to Crewe Alexandra, and helped the "Railwaymen" to win promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1967–68. He then moved on to Chester for a two-season spell. He was sold to Sheffield United for a £10,000 fee in August 1970, and helped the "Blades" to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1970–71. He returned to Chester City in 1976, before switching to Chesterfield the following year.He coached at Chesterfield, Mansfield Town, and Port Vale, before he was appointed Mansfield manager in 1999. He built a talented young team, but left the club for the management position at Notts County in January 2002, months before promotion would be secured. He took County from relegation certainties to mid-table, despite troubles with administration, before he was sacked after a poor run left the "Magpies" in relegation danger in January 2004. He returned to Mansfield as manager in December 2006, but was sacked in March 2008, soon before the club were relegated out of the Football League. Playing career

Oldham Athletic
Dearden was a striker described "as a fearless, hard running player, excellent in the air and with an eye for goal". He began his career with hometown club Oldham Athletic, who finished ninth in the Third Division in 1963–64 under the stewardship of Les McDowall. The "Latics" then finished just one place and three points above the relegation zone in 1964–65, before avoiding relegation in 1965–66 by just one point under Gordon Hurst and Jimmy McIlroy.In his three seasons at Boundary Park, Dearden scored two goals in 34 league games. Crewe Alexandra
He transferred to Crewe Alexandra, who went on to miss out on promotion out of the Fourth Division by just one place and four points in 1966–67. Ernie Tagg's "Railwaymen" managed to secure promotion in 1967–68, after pipping Bradford City to the fourth and final automatic promotion place. In his two seasons at Gresty Road, Dearden scored seven goals in 47 league games. Chester
Dearden switched clubs to Chester, who were to finish 14th in the Fourth Division in 1968–69. Ken Roberts's "Seals" then rose slightly to 11th place in 1969–70. He scored 22 goals in 85 league games during his first spell on Sealand Road.Sheffield United
His 15 goals in 1969–70 brought him to the attention of bigger clubs, and prompted Sheffield United to invest £10,000 in his transfer in August 1970. He proved to be an immediate success at Bramall Lane, as he scored 14 goals in 1970–71 to help John Harris's "Blades" to secure promotion out of the Second Division with a second-place finish, three points behind champions Leicester City. His strike partnership with Alan Woodward proved effective in the First Division, and Dearden finished as the club's top-scorer in 1971–72 with 16 goals as United posted a tenth-place finish. He was again top-scorer in 1972–73 with 20 goals. United went on to finish 13th in 1973–74 under the stewardship of Ken Furphy, before launching a title campaign in 1974–75 that ended with a sixth-place finish – they ended the campaign just four points behind champions Derby County. Knee injuries then began to affect his first team appearances, and United plummeted to relegation with a last place finish in 1975–76 under new boss Jimmy Sirrel. Dearden scored 72 goals in 211 league and cup appearances in his six years in Sheffield.Later career
Dearden returned to Chester, now managed by Alan Oakes, to score seven goals in 36 Third Division appearances in 1976–77. He then moved on to league rivals Chesterfield, who finished ninth in 1977–78 under the stewardship of Arthur Cox, before finishing one place and four points above the relegation zone in 1978–79. Dearden ended his career with two goals in 27 league games for the "Spireites". Managerial career
After retiring as a player, Dearden was appointed assistant manager to Frank Barlow at Chesterfield in 1981. He stayed at Saltergate until 1983, at which point he became a first team coach at Mansfield Town. He left Field Mill in 1994 and went on to serve Port Vale as assistant manager to John Rudge. He spent a few days as the "Valiants" caretaker-manager after Rudge was sacked in January 1999, but did not take charge of a first team game, and subsequently left Vale Park when Brian Horton was named manager.Mansfield Town
Dearden returned to Mansfield Town later in 1999, and was appointed the club's new full-time manager following Steve Parkin's departure. During his three-year stay as Mansfield manager, he brought up several talented youngsters from the youth team, including Liam Lawrence, Bobby Hassell and Lee Williamson, and signed key players such as Chris Greenacre and Wayne Corden, guiding the "Stags" to the verge of promotion. However, he left the club midway through the 2001–02 promotion season to take control of local rivals Notts County. Stuart Watkiss took over from Dearden, and took Mansfield out of the Third Division at the end of the season. Notts County
Dearden joined Notts County in January 2002, with the club on the brink of relegation and suffering serious financial problems. He was named as Second Division Manager of the Month in March following a 16-point haul. He successfully guided the "Magpies" to safety in the Second Division thanks to a winning streak of eight wins in the club's final eleven games of 2001–02.The remainder of his tenure at Meadow Lane was dominated by the club's financial problems. He was unable to make a single permanent signing but comfortably kept County in the division during his first full season. He set a record for the longest period in administration as a manager in British football. He left the club by mutual consent in January 2004, with the "Magpies" under new ownership. At the time of his departure County were second bottom of the division after losing a crucial "six-point game" with Peterborough United. His replacement, Gary Mills, failed to keep County out of the relegation zone by the end of the 2003–04 season. Dearden later held scouting jobs at Blackpool and Milton Keynes Dons.Return to Mansfield
Dearden returned to Mansfield Town as manager in December 2006. He led the "Stags" to a 17th-place finish in League Two in 2006–07. He left the club by mutual consent in March 2008, with Mansfield two points adrift in the relegation zone. The club ended the 2007–08 season in the relegation zone, as new boss Paul Holland was unable to save them. In July 2008, Dearden returned to Simon Grayson's Blackpool as the club's chief scout. In June 2011, he was appointed as chief scout at Sheffield United by new boss Danny Wilson. Statistics

Career

Solo career
As a musician, Wrench first came to public attention in 1990 with his first group Nid Madagascar who released the first Welsh-language acid house record "Lledrith Lliw" as a 12" single in 1990. This was followed by his first solo album Blow Winds Blow, released via Ankst in 1997.After its release, Wrench began working as an engineer, producer and occasional instrumentalist for artists. His early engineering and production credits from this period include records by British Sea Power, Jackie Leven and The Blueskins, Zabrinski, MC Mabon, Julian Cope (Brain Donor) and Welsh Music Prize winning album from Georgia Ruth. Mix credits from this time include James Yorkston, Caribou (Albums Andorra and Swim), Week of Pines and Y Niwl. In 2010 Wrench released the album Spades & Hoes & Plows on Invada records. The album, which was produced by Julian Cope, comprises three re-workings of old revolutionary folk songs and one original instrumental piece based on the Rebecca riots. Writing in the Sunday Times, Stewart Lee described the album thus: "In the face of young people's new enthusiasm for trad-lite, the Welsh weirdo <mask> threatens to reunpopularise folk music, foregrounding puritanical politics over unpalatable instrumentation at funereal tempos. Fans of Lisbee Stainton are unlikely to enjoy Wrench's punishing, 24-minute rendition of "The Blackleg Miner" despite the invigorating and apocalyptically primitive Mellotron interludes supplied by Julian Cope's Black Sheep band.These weary recitations of traditional protest songs require patience, but by Helyntion Beca, a wordless closing workout inspired by 19th-century black-face transvestites attacking Carmarthenshire toll gates, the LP achieves a tortuous transcendence."

Biography
A graduate of the Bronx High School of Science and The Baruch College of the City University of New York he began his photographic career working with Underground newspapers to express his own ‘visual voice” in support of the rising tide of anti-war sentiment throughout the United States during the late 1960s. His press pass and camera not only gave him access to the political scene but also provided him a personal entry into the new rock music counterculture. Albert Grossman who managed the careers of many of the most popular and successful performers of folk and rock music including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Peter, Paul and Mary, Richie Havens and The Band had seen <mask>’s images of Janis Joplin and invited him to photograph The Band, Those photographs were used on the Music From Big Pink album. During this time, he met Bob Dylan and his photo of him appeared on the cover of the September ‘68 edition of the Saturday Evening Post. Within the next few years his celebrated images included portraits of Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline), The Band (Music From Big Pink), Janis Joplin (Big Brother & The Holding Company: Cheap Thrills), Van Morrison (Moondance), Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Joan Baez, Eric Clapton, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Frank Zappa, John Lee Hooker and many others. His iconic photographs of Dylan and The Band during the years they resided and recorded in the small arts colony of Woodstock, NY and his coverage of the 1969 Woodstock Festival captured the attention of a new generation seeking spiritual and artistic freedom.His imagery has become synonymous with the town, the famed 1969 Music Festival and the Utopian spirit of the Woodstock Generation. Since 1967 <mask>’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide and published on the covers of major US and international magazines and newspapers including the New York Times, Life, Rolling Stone and the Saturday Evening Post. He is represented worldwide by Magnum Photos, Getty, and several other local photo agencies. He is the author of 8 books including his latest monograph, The Band Photographs, 1968-1969 which was the highest funded photographic book in Kickstarter history. In 1990, Landy Directed and Produced an award winning video which appealed to both children and adults,  “Table Manners For Everyday Use”  Table Manners Site

Around 1997 he began a syndicated column and website to recommend positive life-affirming films and films with strong, loving, accomplished woman as protagonists. The website still exists but has been in hiatus since 1998. UpliftingFilms.com

He has created a new interactive music and video App, LandyVision, which lets the user blend still and video imagery with music to create a new form of musical and visual experience.It will be released in late 2018. After years of metaphysical observation, Landy developed and offers “Sharing Stillness” Meditations, in which he transmits a spiritual (non-physical) energy that enables one to quickly reach a deep, meditative state. SharingStillness.com

His latest work includes:

 Flower Power – Impressionistic photographs evocative but not imitative of the master Impressionist painters. Kaleidoscapes – photographs of New York City taken through a kaleidoscopic lens. People Taking Pictures – exploring the joy people experience while taking photographs. Love at Sixty – a photo verite book that captures the spontaneity of life and the wonder of love at any age - a photographic love poem by <mask> and Lynda Landy

Throughout Landy’s life and career he has photographed what he found beautiful in his own life—counterculture music, nature, family, his children¬¬-and continues to create images that reflect purity, innocence and “…non-attachment to perceived normal reality.” His work a vision of hope and opportunity for life.

<mask> (October 20, 1950October 2, 2017) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actor. <mask> was the lead vocalist and guitarist of <mask> and the Heartbreakers, formed in 1976. He previously led the band Mudcrutch, was a member of the late 1980s supergroup the Traveling Wilburys, and had success as a solo artist. <mask> had many hit records. Hit singles with the Heartbreakers include "Don't Do Me Like That" (1979), "Refugee" (1980), "The Waiting" (1981), "Don't Come Around Here No More" (1985) and "Learning to Fly" (1991). <mask>'s solo hits include "I Won't Back Down" (1989), "Free Fallin'" (1989), and "You Don't Know How It Feels" (1994). Solo or with the Heartbreakers, he had hit albums from the 1970s through the 2010s and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.<mask> and the Heartbreakers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. <mask> was honored as MusiCares Person of the Year in February 2017 for his contributions to music and for his philanthropy. <mask> died of an accidental drug overdose on October 2, 2017, at the age of 66, one week after the end of the Heartbreakers' 40th Anniversary Tour. Early life
<mask> was born October 20, 1950, in Gainesville, Florida, the first of two sons of <mask> (nee Avery), a local tax office worker, and <mask>, who was a traveling salesman. His brother Bruce was seven years younger. His interest in rock and roll music began at age ten when he met Elvis Presley. In the summer of 1961, his uncle was working on the set of Presley's film Follow That Dream, in nearby Ocala, and invited <mask> to watch the shoot.He instantly became a Presley fan, and when he returned that Saturday, he was greeted by his friend Keith Harben, and soon traded his Wham-O slingshot for a collection of Elvis 45s. Of that meeting with Presley, <mask> said, "Elvis glowed." In a 2006 interview, <mask> said he knew he wanted to be in a band the moment he saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. "The minute I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show—and it's true of thousands of guys—there was the way out. There was the way to do it. You get your friends and you're a self-contained unit. And you make the music.And it looked like so much fun. It was something I identified with. I had never been hugely into sports. ... I had been a big fan of Elvis. But I really saw in the Beatles that here's something I could do. I knew I could do it.It wasn't long before there were groups springing up in garages all over the place." He dropped out of high school at age 17 to play bass with his newly formed band. In an interview with the CBC in 2014, <mask> stated that the Rolling Stones were "my punk music". He credited the group with inspiring him by demonstrating that he and musicians like him could make it in rock and roll. Don Felder, a fellow Gainesville resident, who later joined the Eagles, claimed in his autobiography that he was one of <mask>'s first guitar teachers although <mask> said that Felder taught him to play piano instead. As a young man, <mask> worked briefly on the grounds crew of the University of Florida, but never attended as a student. An Ogeechee lime tree that he purportedly planted while employed at the university is now called the <mask> tree (<mask> stated that he did not recall planting any trees).He also worked briefly as a gravedigger. <mask> also overcame a difficult relationship with his father. According to <mask>, his father found it difficult to accept that <mask> was "a mild-mannered kid who was interested in the arts" and subjected him to verbal and physical abuse on a regular basis. <mask> has described his father as a "wild, gambling drinker guy". <mask> was close to his mother and remained close to his brother, Bruce. Career

1976–1987: <mask> and the Heartbreakers

Shortly after embracing his musical aspirations, <mask> started a band known as the Epics, which later evolved into Mudcrutch. The band included future Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench and was popular in Gainesville, but their recordings went unnoticed by a mainstream audience.They recorded at The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their only single, "Depot Street", released in 1975 by Shelter Records, failed to chart. After Mudcrutch split up, <mask> reluctantly agreed to pursue a solo career. Tench decided to form his own group, whose sound <mask> appreciated. Eventually, <mask> and Campbell collaborated with Tench, Ron Blair and Stan Lynch, forming the first lineup of the Heartbreakers. Their eponymous debut album gained minute popularity amongst American audiences, achieving greater success in Britain. The singles "American Girl" and "Breakdown" (re-released in 1977) peaked at  after the band toured in the United Kingdom in support of Nils Lofgren.The debut album was released by Shelter Records, which at that time was distributed by ABC Records. Their second album, You're Gonna Get It!, was the band's first Top 40 album, featuring the singles "I Need to Know" and "Listen to Her Heart". Their third album, Damn the Torpedoes, quickly went platinum, selling nearly two million copies; it includes their breakthrough singles "Don't Do Me Like That", "Here Comes My Girl", "Even the Losers" and "Refugee". In September 1979, <mask> and the Heartbreakers performed at a Musicians United for Safe Energy concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. Their rendition of "Cry to Me" was featured on the resulting album, No Nukes. The 4th album Hard Promises, released in 1981, became a top-ten hit, going platinum and spawning the hit single "The Waiting". The album also featured <mask>'s first duet, "Insider" with Stevie Nicks.Bass player Ron Blair quit the group and was replaced on the fifth album, Long After Dark (1982), by Howie Epstein; the resulting lineup lasted until 1994. The album contained the hit "You Got Lucky". In 1985, the band participated in Live Aid, playing four songs at John F. Kennedy Stadium, in Philadelphia. Southern Accents was also released in 1985. This album included the hit single "Don't Come Around Here No More", which was produced by Dave Stewart. The song's video featured <mask> dressed as the Mad Hatter, mocking and chasing Alice from the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, then cutting and eating her as if she were a cake. The ensuing tour led to the live album Pack Up the Plantation: Live!and an invitation from Bob Dylan—<mask> and the Heartbreakers joined him on his True Confessions Tour. They also played some dates with the Grateful Dead in 1986 and 1987. Also in 1987, the group released Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) which includes "Jammin' Me" which <mask> wrote with Dylan. 1988–1991: Traveling Wilburys and solo career

In 1988, <mask>, along with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne, was a founding member of the Traveling Wilburys. The band's first song, "Handle with Care", was intended as a B-side of one of Harrison's singles, but was judged too good for that purpose and the group decided to record a full album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. A second Wilburys album, mischievously titled Traveling Wilburys Vol.3 and recorded without the recently deceased Orbison, followed in 1990. The album was named Vol. 3 as a response to a series of bootlegged studio sessions being sold as Travelling Wilburys Vol. 2. <mask> incorporated Traveling Wilburys songs into his live shows, consistently playing "Handle with Care" in shows from 2003 to 2006, and for his 2008 tour adding "surprises" such as "End of the Line" to the set list. In 1989, <mask> released Full Moon Fever, which featured hits "I Won't Back Down", "Free Fallin'" and "Runnin' Down a Dream". It was nominally his first solo album, although several Heartbreakers and other well-known musicians participated: Mike Campbell co-produced the album with <mask> and Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra, and backing musicians included Campbell, Lynne, and fellow Wilburys Roy Orbison and George Harrison (Ringo Starr appears on drums in the video for "I Won't Back Down", but they were actually performed by Phil Jones).<mask> and the Heartbreakers reformed in 1991 and released Into the Great Wide Open, which was co-produced by Lynne and included the hit singles "Learning To Fly" and "Into the Great Wide Open", the latter featuring Johnny Depp and Faye Dunaway in the music video. Before leaving MCA Records, <mask> and the Heartbreakers got together to record, live in the studio, two new songs for a Greatest Hits package: "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air". This was Stan Lynch's last recorded performance with the Heartbreakers. <mask> commented "He left right after the session without really saying goodbye."
