Scouted by English club Liverpool as a teenager, he made his professional debut there in 2012, playing sparingly and spending a season on loan at Almería before joining AC Milan in January 2015. He was loaned to fellow Serie A club Genoa in January 2016. In January 2020, <mask> was loaned to La Liga club Sevilla, before joining the club permanently in July of that year. <mask> represented Spain at various youth levels up to under-21, winning the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

On 19 November 2010, he marked his 17th birthday by signing his first professional contract with the Reds.<mask> made his first appearance for the first team in a pre-season friendly against Borussia Mönchengladbach on 1 August 2010, also playing in Jamie Carragher's testimonial match on 4 September. For competitive fixtures, however, he was immediately placed in the reserves, foregoing the Academy. In the 2010–11 season, he made the joint-highest number of appearances for the side with 17, and netted three goals as he adapted well to life on Merseyside. He followed this up with five goals in 17 games during the 2011–12 season, and he also made seven appearances in the NextGen Series. On 20 September 2012, <mask> made his senior Liverpool debut in a Europa League match against Young Boys, completing the full 90 minutes and earning a rave review from Brendan Rodgers. He made his Premier League debut three days later against Manchester United in a 2-1 defeat at Anfield, replacing the injured Fabio Borini at half-time. He performed impressively, completing all his passes despite Liverpool being a man down.He then played in the next game against West Bromwich Albion six days later in the League Cup, coming on with ten minutes to play and making an immediate impact by helping set up Nuri Şahin's second goal in a 2–1 win. He went on to make his first Premier League start on 29 September in a 5-2 win at Norwich City, where he assisted Luis Suárez's third goal. On 19 October 2012, <mask> signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool, receiving praise from manager Brendan Rodgers for his "maturity and commitment." On 18 December 2012, <mask> was fined £10,000 for a remark he made to Liverpool teammate and compatriot José Enrique on Twitter, which The Football Association (FA) deemed homophobic. José Enrique replied to these charges, saying the remark was "banter" and "just a joke." On 25 February 2013, after being shut-out of the first team due to the signings of Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho, <mask> put in a poor performance for the under-21 team against Manchester United, which he acknowledged on his Twitter account, tweeting "Sorry about tonight.. I was having some stomach problems during all game but i [sic] didn't want to come off of the game... Again sorry!"The game finished 1–0 to United against a very strong Liverpool side that included Raheem Sterling, Andre Wisdom and Jonjo Shelvey. Almería (loan)

International career

<mask> has represented Spain at U-17, U-18, U-19, U-20 and U-21 level. In 2012, <mask> started every game during the U-19 European Championships, where he won his first international honour. On 9 October 2012, <mask> received his first call up to Spain U21 for their game against Italy.He was also captain of the Spain under-20 side that competed in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. In August 2017, <mask> was called up for the first time to the Spain side for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Italy the following month. He was chosen by Julen Lopetegui, his former manager at under-20 and under-21 level. He finally made his debut in a friendly against Russia on 14 November 2017. Style of play
A quickish, creative and technically gifted left-footed player, <mask> is capable of playing both as a midfielder and as a forward, on either flank or in the centre of the pitch, although he usually plays as an attacking midfielder or as a winger; he has also been used as a central midfielder and in the mezzala role. Regarded as a promising young player, he is known for his ability to beat opponents on the ball, as well as his vision and passing accuracy, which enables him to set the tempo of his team's play, play quick exchanges with other midfielders, and provide assists for his teammates; he also possesses a good shot from outside the area and is accurate from set pieces. Former Milan midfielder Dejan Savićević compared <mask> with himself saying: "He’s like me, he’s also got a great shot.He’s a player who can invent an assist, invent a shot. He can invent from one moment to the next, he’s the one who most possesses that quality." <mask> is a classic example of an inverted winger. During his time at AC Milan, he developed his signature move of cutting into the opponent's penalty box from the right flank to shoot with his stronger left foot. Scoring a number of goals this way led to several comparisons of <mask> with the Dutch forward Arjen Robben, who is credited with popularizing this exact technique among many younger wingers of the 2010s.

<mask> is a Venezuelan writer born in Barquisimeto, Venezuela in 1967. From an early age, he and his family moved to Caracas, where he lived in the popular area of Los Jardines del Valle, but always kept a close connection with his native hometown. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the Central University of Venezuela with a thesis on poetry groups "Traffic" and "Guaire". Later he earned a Ph.D. in Hispanic American Literature from the University of Salamanca with a thesis on the Venezuelan writer José Balza. He has published fifteen books including novels, volumes of short stories and essays. He lives in Spain, country where he has written and published most of his work. His work has been part of several anthologies in Spanish as Líneas aéreas and Pequeñas resistencias and some of his stories have been published in Switzerland, France, Bulgaria, Italy, Slovenia and the United States.In Venezuela, his texts are part of two recent short story anthologies: Las voces secretas, published by Alfaguara, and 21 del XXI, that was commercially released by Ediciones B. He has been invited to several important international literary events such as the International Guadalajara Book Fair, the Fair of Santiago de Chile, the Madrid eñe Festival, and has lectured at universities and institutions in Algeria, Colombia, Croatia, Spain, France, Switzerland, Venezuela, etc. In April 2013 his novel Arena Negra was awarded Book of the Year by booksellers in Venezuela. Work
Topics such as the uprooting of exiles, travel, love, sentimentality, are part of the narrative interests of Méndez <mask>, a work characterized by multiple records that are moved from the use of orality, to the development of sound prose, embedded with a deep lyricism. <mask> <mask>'s work has been placed by many literary scholars — such as Chiara Bolognese (Autonomous University of Madrid), Fabiola Fernandez (Andrés Bello Catholic University), Vega Sánchez (University of Salamanca), or Maartje Vranken (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) — in the orbit of the Spanish-American romantic and sentimental narrative. A line of writing that comes from authors like Manuel Puig or Alfredo Bryce Echenique, in which the humor, relationships with popular culture, and the emphasis on the emotional dramas of male characterized by their fragility, define the general discourse of its narrative. But, as the writer Ignacio Sanz argues, in Méndez Guédez one sees a sense of dual belonging, on one side to the Peninsular Spanish cultural register and, on the other, to the Hispanic American worldview, which is evident in the construction of his prose style, full of winks and lexical features that constitute a sort of mestizo language in itself.This circumstance of intense attachment to two countries — two realities — places <mask> <mask> in a particular creative line of 21st-century Spanish language fiction that also involves authors such as Fernando Iwasaki, Jorge Eduardo Benavides, <mask> Vasquez, Andrés Neuman, etc. ; writers whose fictions embodies a nostalgic look at the place of origin, combined with a critical outlook of the place of residence, all which confers their narratives with an expressive mixture of universal character. As stated by critic Marco Kunz (University of Lausanne): "The migrant narrative of Méndez <mask> demonstrates the possibility of a new Latin American literature that is not enclosed in the obliguismo that explores the hallmarks of local, regional or national, nor chooses a staunch internationalism ". Notably, <mask> <mask> is one of the authors who started fictionalizing the immigration of 21st-century Spain with his novel  Una tarde con campanas, published in 2004. A topic that has been followed up by authors such as Joseph Shepherd, Carmen Jiménez, Pablo Aranda, Donato Ndongo, Najat El Hachmi, James Roncagliolo and Angels Case, among others. In a way, his books incorporate into its narrative a sense of both the spatial and cultural diversity that is characteristic of his country, together with that of the Iberian Peninsula and the Canary Islands, as to conform a larger and richer fictional universe. This element, according to German critic Burkhard Pohl, constitutes a feature of a certain segment of the current Latin American narrative, in which the style of authors such as <mask> <mask> and Jorge Volpi serve as a parody of the exchange between different realities, highlighting the absurd literary notion that attached preconceived worldviews to certain writers from different regions of the planet.<mask> <mask> is considered by many a renovator of the romantic tradition in Latin American narrative. Some of <mask> <mask>'s works also have stylistic features that go back to the English comic novel — such as certain strain of vulgar eroticism — but that nonetheless remain within the influence of more contemporary and experimental trends in story construction — all that is without forgetting the passion for the power of anecdote and the seduction of the reader, and exploring expressive tools that break with classical linearity. Thus, each of <mask> <mask> texts can be a literary universe in itself; one that answers common themes but that is also able to expose a diverse scriptural development.

<mask> (born December 24, 1953) is an activist in the libertarian movement in the United States, reaching back to the Vietnam War. He is the founder and webmaster of a daily nonpartisan, news source Antiwar.com which was launched in 1995. <mask> was born in Paris, France and raised in Southern California from the age of 2. He became politically active at an early age, organizing rallies and distributing leaflets in his Los Angeles high school and actively resisting the Vietnam war and draft. As a red diaper baby, Garris marched in civil rights demonstrations at age 8, was expelled from high school for instigating a riot at age 16, and became a Vietnam War draft resister by the time he was an adult. He considered himself a leftist for most of his early years, but that political position changed by the time he turned 20. While living in Venice, California in the 1960s, Garris became active in the Peace and Freedom Party, serving as National Committeeman and Vice-chairman before forming a libertarian faction within the party in 1973.In 1975, he left the Peace and Freedom Party to become active in the Libertarian Party, eventually co-founding the Libertarian Radical Caucus with Justin Raimondo. In the 1980s, <mask> and Raimondo left the Libertarian Party to engage the Republican Party. They formed the Libertarian Republican Organizing Committee (LROC) and backed Pat Buchanan in his 1992 presidential run. On November 5, 2018, <mask> married Susana Simon Pio from Sao Paulo, Brazil. <mask> cites his antiwar stance as the one constant throughout the evolution of his political point of view and has said that being antiwar led him to libertarianism. His view that war is the greatest violator of human and property rights is reflected in Antiwar.com's mission to lead the non-interventionist cause in the United States and abroad. Opposition to the Briggs Initiative
 As a pro-gay rights libertarian, <mask> was active in opposing and defeating the 1978 Briggs Initiative, which was authored by state senator John V. Briggs, (R-Fullerton).A Universal Free Libertarian Church minister, <mask> was scheduled to debate Senator Briggs at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) on Oct. 26, 1978. Hours before the debate, which was sponsored by Society for Libertarian Life, Briggs failed to appear and substituted Prof. George Kent. Brigg's aide, Don Sizemore, later stated that the senator had received several death threats just before the debate. <mask> was one of the four plaintiffs who filed a breach of contract against Briggs, litigated by Newport Beach attorney David Bergland. Libertarian activism
In 2000, <mask> described his history with the Libertarian Party (LP) as follows:

In 1973 I joined the Libertarian Party. I served as a National Committee member, California State Director, and candidate and campaign manager numerous times. I am still a life member of the LP, but I am no longer registered LP.I still consider myself to be a libertarian with strongly held beliefs and, as Webmaster of Antiwar.com and LewRockwell.com, consider myself an activist in the libertarian movement. I still read much of the LP's literature, have many friends and associates in the LP, often even vote Libertarian. I also subscribe to the LP's internal email discussion list. When Murray Rothbard and his supporters began to feel that the Libertarian Party, through outfits such as the Cato Institute, was becoming too cozy with the Republican Party and its policies, they founded the "Libertarian Radical Caucus" which was led primarily by Garris and his most consistent collaborator Justin Raimondo. After the Libertarian Party's major schism of 1983, they began an entryist strategy into the Republican Party, and during the 1990s they became strong backers of Pat Buchanan. Campaigns for public office
<mask> first ran for public office in 1972 when he ran as a Peace and Freedom Party candidate for the California State Assembly in district 61. He received 3,488 votes for 3.8% of the vote.<mask> ran for office a second time in 1974. Running as a Peace and Freedom Party candidate in the 22 State Senate district, <mask> received 4,316 votes for 2.3% In 1980, <mask> ran as a libertarian for the 5th district California State Senate seat. In a two-way race, <mask> received 21,162 votes for 14.6% of the vote. In 1983, <mask> ran as a libertarian in the special election for California's 5th congressional district. He received 408 votes for 0.5% of the total vote. In 1990, <mask> ran as a Republican for the California State Assembly in the 21st district. He received 25,695 votes for 29.1% of the vote in a two way race

Internet activism
Early on, <mask> saw the potential of the internet to advance his political beliefs.In 1995, he founded Antiwar.com in response to the Clinton administration's intervention in Bosnia's civil war. Founded on Randolph Bourne's idea that "War is the Health of the State," Antiwar.com aggregates foreign policy news links from a variety of perspectives to inform the American people and the world about the overseas plans of the American government and serve as a research tool for "'citizen experts.'" From 1999 to 2012, <mask> was the webmaster for LewRockwell.com, the webmagazine of libertarian political commentator Lew Rockwell. He is also webmaster for Ballot Access News, a news site published by activist Richard Winger that raises awareness of restrictive ballot access laws. See also

<mask> (born 30 March 1969 in Taree, New South Wales, Australia) is an Australian motorcycle racer. During his career Bayliss won the Superbike World Championship three times and a MotoGP race, all with Ducati. He finished his career after winning the 2008 World Superbike title. His 52 World Superbike victories ranks third all time in the history of the championship behind Jonathan Rea and Carl Fogarty. Early life

Bayliss did much of his growing up in the Northwest NSW town of Warialda. His father, Warren, was a baker, and his mother Lorraine drove a local school bus part-time. The family lived across from the local high school.By age 10, he was an accomplished motocross rider, and could often be found riding through the local bushland which surrounded the town and came right up to the back of the family house. The family moved to Taree when Bayliss was about 11 years old. Bayliss showed much promise as a youngster in the sport, however when he entered his teens his enthusiasm for racing waned. He commenced an apprenticeship as a spraypainter at Joe Berry's and commuted to work by bicycle. On this daily commute Bayliss would pass a motorcycle dealership and finally was tempted enough to obtain a loan to purchase a Kawasaki ZXR 750 on which he commenced racing. He won the first race he entered on the bike and performed well in subsequent events. As a result of this early success and despite the financial risk he was taking, Bayliss decided to compete in the Australian Supersport championship, Age 26.Career

Early career
After finishing as runner-up in the Australian supersport championship in 1995, Bayliss moved up to the Australian Superbikes series the next year, finishing third that year and second in 1997. His big break came that year – he was entered as a wildcard for the 1997 Australian 250 Grand Prix riding for the Dutch Arie Molenaar Suzuki team. On a significantly underpowered machine compared to his competitors, Bayliss finished in sixth despite exiting the final corner in third place, such was the lack of power of his machine. <mask>'s remarkable performance on a clearly underpowered machine earned him considerable attention, and he was subsequently offered a ride in the British championship with the new GSE Ducati team the next year. His first win came in race 11 at Cadwell Park, but a large number of crashes and mechanical failures prevented a serious title challenge. This changed in 1999, Bayliss beating Chris Walker to the title. Superbike World Championship
<mask> began the  season competing for Ducati in the US's AMA Superbike Championship, but was called in to replace Carl Fogarty in the Superbike World Championship when the latter was injured at Philip Island.Despite missing the first three rounds and having a poor start at his first race in Sugo, Bayliss had a creditable season, winning two races and earning sixth overall in the championship. In the  season <mask> opened with four seconds in five races, and took his first victory in race 8 at Monza. His consistent performances and six race wins paved for the way for the championship title, defeating reigning champion Colin Edwards. Bayliss clinched the title in the penultimate meeting at Assen when Edwards broke down, however he failed to earn any points in the final meeting after crashing in race 1 and suffering a broken collarbone. <mask> started  in dominant form breaking the record (at the time) for most race wins in a season, but Edwards thanks to his consistency in usually minimizing the points lost when Bayliss won by finishing second overturned the advantage, Edwards won his second title at a thrilling final round in Imola. Bayliss crossed the line first in race one, but lost on aggregate, as the first part of race one being red flagged because of an oil leak by Peter Goddard's Benelli. Incidentally, Peter Goddard vacated his seat on the Suzuki superbike in the Australian series in 1997 and recommended Bayliss for his position.In retrospect, the  season had been lost partially due to mishaps created by his own team. <mask> was injured at Brands Hatch when colliding with his teammate Ruben Xaus, whilst Xaus was swerving to bring heat into his tyres, and after the Laguna Seca round, Ducati changed the frame. This frame change would prove costly as Bayliss consistently complained that the bike didn't feel like the same machine he had been riding previously. It was only at the final round in Imola that the team reverted to the original frame. Bayliss was very competitive all weekend. MotoGP World Championship

Both <mask> and Edwards moved to MotoGP in 2003, and it was Bayliss who was initially more successful. In Ducati's first season in the class their bike was highly competitive, with Bayliss taking three third places and finishing sixth overall in the championship.He briefly led at Philip Island, Brno and Welkom, and only narrowly losing the rookie of the year race to Nicky Hayden. Teammate Loris Capirossi took their first win at the Circuit de Catalunya. 2004 was a difficult year for the team however, with Bayliss only 14th in the standings. Despite (or perhaps due to) its prodigious straight-line speed the bike didn't handle well, with Bayliss often over-riding and crashing frequently, this led to <mask>' subsequent sacking from the factory Ducati squad, a part of which Bayliss had been for five years previous. This move was considered an unpopular one by many, considering that neither <mask> nor Capirossi were able to perform as well as they had the previous year. According to some, confirmation that Bayliss' sacking was influenced by sponsorship pressure rather than any performance based reasons was seen in the appointment of Carlos Checa as <mask>' replacement. However, Bayliss is much older than Capirossi, and had not been as close to him in 2004 as he had in 2003, so some questioned whether he had any more to offer the team.However, good results near the end of the season earned him a ride with Sito Pons' Camel Honda team for 2005, but was not a frontrunner, despite promising speed shown in his first tests on the 2004 machine and Alex Barros winning in Portugal. A severely broken arm meant that Bayliss was unable to compete in the final six races, had he done so, the season ending Valencian Grand Prix would have been his 50th Grand Prix appearance. Bayliss did give an insight as to his inability to crack into the upper echelons of Grand Prix racing, describing the Honda MotoGP bike and MotoGP bikes in general as too inflexible, rigid, and like a 250 for his style. After the success of  Superbike, Ducati offered Bayliss a one-off entry in the final MotoGP race of the year in Valencia, due to Sete Gibernau being injured. Remarkably Bayliss qualified 2nd and led the whole race, which ended in a Ducati 1–2. This was the first time any rider had won a race in both the Superbike and the Grand Prix world championships in the same year, and the first by a reigning champion. His impressive victory was somewhat overshadowed by the dramatic events involving Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden that ultimately determined the 2006 title winner.Return to Superbike

After a rather unsuccessful journey in MotoGP and a particularly disappointing 2005 season, Bayliss returned to the Superbike World Championship in  and was reunited with factory Ducati team. His pre-season form in testing for  showed much promise, with Bayliss topping the timesheets at both Qatar and Valencia. Even more remarkable is the fact that both he and <mask>r were lapping faster at Qatar than many MotoGP contenders from the previous season, despite MotoGP bikes being purpose built racing prototypes and Superbikes being based on road-going machines. Bayliss started  in dominant fashion, leading the points table after the first 5 rounds with seven consecutive race wins and additional podiums. His form continued to the point that he went into round 10 at Lausitzring with a chance of clinching the title with 3 rounds to go. A fall in race one prevented this, but he only required a fourth place in any of the final 4 races to seal the title. Bayliss duly won the title at Imola with a fifth place in Race 1, which was enough as James Toseland did not win.He won race 2, to cement the title. Although he scored an impressive win in the final MotoGP race of 2006 at Valencia, he continued to race in WSBK with the Ducati team in . On 1 April 2007, at Donington Park, Bayliss crashed at Coppice corner on lap six of the first Superbike race of the day. His right hand was momentarily caught under the motorcycle during the crash, and the injury required the eventual surgical removal of a testicle and of the intermediate and distal phalanges of his little finger. <mask>' injury prevented him from competing in the second Donington race. He finished the season fourth overall. saw Bayliss continue racing for the factory Ducati team, riding the new Ducati 1098.At the season opener at the Losail circuit in Qatar, <mask> won the race one to give Ducati their first win with the new 1098 model. He also won both races at Philip Island on what was his final appearance at his home round. At Misano he took his record to nine podiums in ten starts at the track. Conversely, his victory in race 1 at Donington Park was his first win at the circuit. He came within three corners of clinching the title at Vallelunga, but crashed out at a low-speed corner which meant that <mask> and Noriyuki Haga retained a mathematical hope. He clinched the title in the next round by finishing 3rd at Magny Cours, and put the seal on it by winning race 2 – his 50th World Superbike victory. He took a double victory in his final World Superbike meeting at Portimão.Bayliss tested a Ducati 1198 in a special private test at Mugello in May 2010, setting impressive times and leading to speculation that he would make a comeback to racing

In February  Bayliss made the comeback, when he was called to replace injured Ducati rider Davide Giugliano at Phillip Island opener, riding the unfamiliar 1199 Panigale R.

Touring/GT Cars
Bayliss has since embarked on a new career after signing to drive as co-driver for Triple F Racing in the domestic V8 Supercar touring car series. He teamed with their regular driver Dean Fiore at the Phillip Island 500 and Bathurst 1000 long distance events. They broke an alternator and did not start the Phillip Island race and did not finish the Bathurst 1000. He also has raced as a co-driver in the 2013 and 2014 Australian Porsche Carrera Cup Championship. Career statistics

<mask> was born in Washington, D.C., and raised by his mother Mary, who worked for the Army Corps of Engineers, his aunt, and his grandmother in an area known as South Fairlington Historic District, in Arlington, Virginia, where he was to meet Scott McKenzie, who lived nearby. <mask> learned to play the banjo and guitar, and won the top music award in high school. <mask> graduated from Gonzaga College Prep School, a noted Jesuit institution in DC, class of 1958. From there he joined the United States Air Force (in the Strategic Air Command), in the pre-Vietnam era, and was stationed in Kansas. He later worked as a merchant seaman on the S.S. Atlantic and in a bank, before becoming involved in the music industry. His first band was The Singing Strings, which included his friend McKenzie, who later joined with John Phillips (eventually of The Mamas & the Papas) in a local group called The Abstracts, later The Smoothies and eventually The Journeymen.Other members of the Strings were Buck Hunnicutt, Speery Romig and Alan Stubbs. In 1962, <mask> teamed up with ex-Smoothie Michael Boran as Michael and <mask>. Jake Holmes, Rich Husson and <mask> formed a group called The Feldmans, later known as <mask> and the Thorns. The Big 3

In 1962 <mask> met singer Cass Elliot (also eventually of The Mamas & the Papas) at a party in Georgetown and formed a folk trio with her and singer John Brown called The Triumvirate. Later, after Brown was replaced by James (Jim) Hendricks, they changed the name to The Big 3. They soon landed a job at The Bitter End, a folk club in New York City's Greenwich Village. Their success grew, with appearances on national television programs, and they recorded two albums: The Big 3 (1963) and The Big 3 Live at the Recording Studio (1964).Songs included "Grandfather's Clock", and an anti-war dirge written by Fred Hellerman and Fran Minkoff, "Come Away Melinda", a re-recorded version of which was one of <mask>'s most successful solo singles several years later, and <mask>'s composition "The Banjo Song," which sets the lyrics of "Oh! Susanna" to a completely new melody. <mask>'s melody was then used for Shocking Blue's 1969 hit "Venus". Neil Young and Crazy Horse covered <mask>'s version on their 2012 album Americana. <mask> and Elliot had musical differences – both were inclined to want things done their way – and the band fell apart after Elliot and Hendricks secretly married. They had appeared on a number of national television programs, including Hootenanny (1963), The Danny Kaye Show (1963), and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962). Solo career
After The Big 3, <mask> went solo, and by 1966, his prospects had improved.In November of that year, he played two gigs at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco; headlining were the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. CBS Records signed <mask> to a multi-album record deal; the first album, <mask>, came out in 1967. It featured a new version of "Come Away Melinda" and "Long Time Man" (a version of the traditional "It Makes a Long Time Man Feel Bad", which was also previously recorded with The Big 3) as well as his versions of two songs that would become standards: Billy Roberts' "Hey Joe" and Bonnie Dobson's "Morning Dew". Both were released as singles, and would be further covered by many artists, from the Grateful Dead to Clannad. Backed up by a trio that included William Lewis Wexler on keyboards and flute, he played at such clubs as Basin Street West in San Francisco and Le Hibou in Ottawa, Ontario. He also played on numerous recording sessions, including backing up Eric Weissberg. "Hey Joe"

In 1966, he was getting a lot of airplay with his version of "Hey Joe".It was written and had been copyrighted in 1962 by singer Billy Roberts, but <mask> claimed he heard it sung as a child in Florida, and as of 2009, <mask>'s official website still claims the song is "traditional". As of 2009 no documentary evidence from US archives or elsewhere has been provided to support the claim that the song is "traditional" (though Country singer Carl Smith did have a hit in 1953 with a song of the same title written by Boudleaux Bryant). Prior to <mask>'s recording, The Leaves, The Surfaris, Love and The Byrds had all recorded fast-paced versions of the song. <mask>'s version (crediting himself as author), unlike the others, was a slow, angry ballad, which received US radio airplay and became a regional hit in the San Francisco area in 1966, as well as upstate New York cities like Buffalo and Albany. Jimi Hendrix had seen <mask> performing at Cafe Wha? in New York City, and released a similarly slow version in 1966 which became a huge hit, first in the UK, then worldwide. It was Linda Keith, Keith Richards' girlfriend at the time that played <mask>'s recording of "Hey Joe" to Chas Chandler (Hendrix's manager and former bass player for The Animals).<mask> re-recorded "Hey Joe" in the 1990s, re-titling it "Blue Steel .44", again claiming songwriting credit. "Morning Dew"

"Morning Dew" was to go on to become a rock standard. <mask> heard Fred Neil's recording of the song penned by Canadian folk singer Bonnie Dobson, arranged it with a harder, rock feel and added his name to the songwriting credit, although Dobson consistently questioned his right to a credit. Fred Neil, signed to Elektra, was the first person to record the song after her. Jac Holzman of Elektra contacted her for permission, knowing she had written it, and that was how it came to be published by the Nina Music Co., the music publishing company set up by Holzman's wife Nina. Subsequently, the Nina Music Co. was bought by Warner/Chappell Music. Follow-up works
Another CBS album, Through Rose Colored Glasses, followed in 1969.It met with critical disappointment and did not sell well. Love: A Kind of Hate Story was recorded at Island Studios in London and released in 1970. In addition to his musical career, by now <mask> had moved to London and would spend much of his life there. Other albums followed in the decade: Another, different album titled <mask> (1972), The Musician (1975), and the bootleg Unfinished Song (1976). In 1968, while his song "Roanoke" was getting some airplay in the UK, <mask> was considered while replacements were being selected for Brian Jones's place in The Rolling Stones. <mask> worked in the late 1960s and 1970s with sidemen Bob Bowers, Felix Pappalardi, Alan Seidler, Tina Charles, Pierre Tubbs, B. J. Cole, Colin Winston-Fletcher, Micky Wynne, John Bonham, Les Podraza, Aynsley Dunbar, Alex Damovsky, John McVie, Andy Summers, Eric Weissberg, Russ Kunkel, Randall Elliot, Pete Sears. In the late 1960s, Shel Talmy worked with <mask>, producing his album Love – A Kind of Hate Story.In 1972, he put together his short-lived LA band featuring: Michael 'Papabax' Baxter on keyboards, Shelly Scott on drums, Bob Zinner on guitar and Larry "Fuzzy" Knight on bass, to play the 'California concert halls and 'nite' spots'. He appeared on bills with Traffic, The Staple Singers, Stevie Wonder, Simon and Garfunkel, The Doors, Uriah Heep, Johnny Mathis, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, Procol Harum, the Grateful Dead, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, The Band of Joy, and <mask>. The lost years
By the mid 1970s, his career had stalled. In an attempted comeback Los Angeles music publisher/songwriter Richard D. Kaye, acting as <mask>'s manager in 1976, arranged studio time for <mask> to record the album Unfinished Song featuring seven new <mask> compositions and the title track "Unfinished Song" written by Kaye. He recorded The Gambler in 1977, with a group that included guitarist Andy Summers, only to find that the record company refused to release it. He returned to New York for a number of years, living in Hell's Kitchen on Restaurant Row, and then much later Lincoln Square near Central Park. Having lost his contacts in the music industry, he was forced to work as a construction laborer until an opportunity arose to sing jingles for TV commercials in early 1980.<mask> sang on many jingles, including Big Red gum and Wrangler Jeans, and voiced ads for the Big Apple Circus. This work funded his much-delayed college education, which he began at the age of 40. <mask> graduated in 1984 from Fordham University at Lincoln Center in Manhattan, with a degree in history. He became a Wall Street stockbroker and a teacher, got married, and eventually divorced. While working on Wall Street, he met Dennis Lepri, former lead guitarist for the folk rock group, Gunhill Road. They became friends and together collaborated on new material, performing in clubs throughout New York. After the 1987 stock market crash, the two parted ways and <mask> got out of the business.He continued writing and performing at select venues, such as The Bitter End. He also battled with alcoholism. Return
By the late 1980s, <mask> had reached the lowest point in his career. After his marriage broke up, he gave up drinking. In 1986, Nick Cave included "Long Time Man", a version very close to <mask>'s, on the album Your Funeral, My Trial. Cave went on to assist <mask> in recovering his career, and encouraged him to play live shows again. In 1991, The Gambler was finally released.In 1996, encouraged by Cave and by Dutch film makers Suzan IJzermans and Jacques Laureys, he returned to Europe. <mask> performed at the Guildford, and Glastonbury Festivals. He went on to perform at the Royal Albert Hall opening for Cave, and at the Shepherds Bush Empire and Queen Elizabeth Hall in London with co-writer and guitarist Mickey Wynne. A new album, Haunted, was released with recordings from these performances as well new studio material produced by Cave. He also appeared on the BBC Television show Later with Jools Holland, and performed with Robert Plant's folk-rock band, Priory of Brion. By the late 1990s to early 2000s, most of his back catalog had been re-released (some as double albums), and were available both in record stores and from <mask>'s own web site, Tim-Rose.co.uk. In April 2001, the <mask> Band was the opening act at the Bergen Blues and Jazz Festival in Norway.Jacques Laurey's biographical film about <mask>, Where Was I?, was premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival in the same year. His final solo album, American Son, was released in February 2002. Not Goin' Anywhere by Norwegian band Headwaiter, featuring four songs with lyrics by <mask> and a duet with the lead singer Per Jorgenson, was released in Norway in September 2002. Death

In 2002, <mask> had completed a successful tour of Ireland with co-writer and guitarist Mickey Wynne and had a number of gigs planned around the UK. He died at Middlesex Hospital, London of a heart attack during a second operation for a lower bowel problem on September 24, 2002, at the age of 62. He is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London. He had no children.A number of posthumous recordings featuring <mask> have since been released. He was the subject of BBC programme Heir Hunters in November 2011, where investigators look for descendants of deceased people who did not leave a will. Discography

<mask> (1910–1988) was an American street photographer best known for his work documenting everyday street life in New York City from the 1950s through the 1980s. In 1975 <mask> was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. Early life and education

<mask> was born on 20 September 1910 in Buckhannon, West Virginia. He began high school in September 1923 at Baltimore City College, which was a public college-preparatory school. During his senior year in high school, he attended evening classes at the Maryland Institute of Arts in Baltimore. In the autumn of 1927, after graduating from high school, he enrolled as a part-time student at the Institute, taking courses in drawing, calligraphy, and design. In his application for a Guggenheim Fellowship he mentioned taking courses at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.Career

<mask>'s first job in advertising was with the Hecht Furniture Company in downtown Baltimore. From 1934 to 1937 he worked there as an assistant art director, doing layouts for newspaper advertisements. He then set out on his own as a freelance graphic artist and designer. Layouts were to be his forte throughout his career in advertising. In the autumn of 1948 he took an advanced workshop with the school's director and one of its most influential teachers, Sid Grossman. As a walker and a loner, it was only natural that <mask> would prowl the streets of New York and the beaches of Coney Island, like numerous photographers before him. <mask> was studying with Grossman in 1950 when Lisette and Evsa Model attended the class, and from 1954 until 1960 <mask> was a student in Evsa Model's painting workshop.One of his photographs was included in U.S. Camera Annual 1951, and two were chosen the following year. In 1956 he was among six featured photographers of the annual, together with Richard Avedon, Wynn Bullock, G.E. Kidder Smith (an architectural photographer), Eugene Smith, and Brett Weston. Over the course of the decade, his work would also be in five Popular Photography annuals. In 1952 he was the winner of Popular Photography's international photography contest, with a prize of $2,000. .In 1955 <mask>'s work was included in a summer group exhibition there, and in the same year Edward Steichen selected two of his photographs for the world-touring Museum of Modern Art exhibition The Family of Man, seen by 9 million visitors and for the accompanying catalogue, which is still in print.The two candid photographs were shot at close quarters, his habitual approach, for which he would shoot from the hip, and one is a ground-level view of a well-to-do couple waiting for a cab, she in her voluminous fur and he in his double-breasted suit and hat. The other is more sympathetic to the less privileged people <mask> enjoyed photographing on the Lower East Side; an African-American woman adoringly caressing her baby as they sprawl on a rug in the dappled shade. Another supporter was Helen Gee, the founder of the Limelight Gallery, the first New York gallery devoted solely to the exhibition and sale of photographs. In her autobiography, Gee devotes the first part of chapter 13 to <mask> and his was the first exhibition of 1956, his only solo show at Limelight , with sixty-five prints covering seven years of work by "a photographer I considered one of the best of the non-professionals. Perhaps, even the best." Like Gee, <mask> had studied photography with Sid Grossman, first at the Photo League and then in Grossman’s private workshops; “he was the only one…who lived up to Sid’s frequent exhortation: ‘Live for photography!’”. There were favourable reviews, one by Wright from The Village Voice.In 1980, Gee included his work in the exhibition Photography of the Fifties. The following year she was instrumental in arranging the sale of a substantial number of prints to the art dealer Harry Lunn. In the late 1970s and 1980s Levinstein travelled abroad to photograph, only to return to the United States and stay in his Baltimore apartment. Lunn purchased a large group of <mask>'s photographs, and his work was being included in important exhibitions of postwar documentary photography, beginning in 1978 with New Standpoints at the Museum of Modern Art. Still not widely known, Levinstein has gradually come to be acknowledged as a key figure in photography from the latter half of the twentieth century. Publications

Hinde Ester Singer Kreytman (31 March 1891 – 13 June 1954), known in English as <mask>, was a Yiddish-language novelist and short story writer. She was born in Biłgoraj, Vistula Land to a rabbinic Jewish family. Her younger brothers Israel Joshua Singer and Isaac Bashevis Singer subsequently became writers. Biography
Kreitman was the daughter of Pinchas Menachem Singer (Pinkhas Mendl Zinger) and his wife Basheve (Bathsheba), née Zylberman. Her father was a rabbi and an avid Hasid with a passion for mysticism. Kreitman's mother also came from a rabbinic, albeit non-Hasidic, family. The daughter of the rabbi of Biłgoraj, who was renowned in his day for his intellectual and spiritual character, she had benefited from an education comparable to that of her brothers.Kreitman had an unhappy childhood. According to her son, her mother gave her to an uncaring wet nurse for the first three years, who left her
in a cot under a dusty table where she was visited once a week by her mother, who did not touch her. Later, as a highly gifted child, she had to watch her younger brothers being taught, while she was relegated to menial household duties. Kreitman's first novel includes numerous scenes depicting the main female character's desires for education: scenes in which she waits with great anticipation for the bookseller to arrive in their town, dreams of becoming a scholar, and hides a Russian text-book from the male members of her family so that they won't find out she is studying in secret. It is likely that these incidents reflect Kreitman's own story. In 1912 she agreed to an arranged marriage, and went to live with her husband, Avraham Kreitman, a diamond cutter, to Antwerp, Belgium. The events surrounding this marriage are both described by her in Deborah and by Isaac Bashevis Singer in his autobiographical collection In my Father's Court.In Antwerp her son, Morris Kreitman, was born. (He later was known by his journalistic pen name, Maurice Carr, and his novelistic pen name, Martin Lea.) The outbreak of World War I forced the family to flee to London, where Kreitman lived for the rest of her life, except for two long return visits to Poland. Her marriage was not happy. She and her husband both worked in menial jobs, and she translated classic English works into Yiddish to earn extra
money. Although she had been the first in the family to write, she published relatively late in life, her first novel Der Sheydims Tants (Dance of the Demons) appearing in Poland in 1936. It was translated by her son in 1946 as Deborah.Her second novel, Brilyantn (Diamonds) was published in 1944. Yikhes (Lineage), her book of short stories, was published in 1949. Many of her works deal with the status of women, particularly intellectual women, among Ashkenazi Jews. Other works explore class relationships, and her short stories include several set in London during The Blitz, which she experienced. After World War II Kreitman attempted to contact her mother and a third brother, Moyshe, who had become a village-rabbi in Poland and had fled to the Soviet Union with their mother and his wife; their father had died before the war. Although she received two postcards from southern Kazakhstan, in the town of Dzhambul, (today Taraz), no further communication was forthcoming. Forced evacuation of Jewish refugees to Central Asia under extremely harsh conditions was relatively common in the Soviet Union during World War II, and both are reported to have perished in 1946.Her other brother Israel Joshua Singer had died in New York in 1944, but her remaining sibling, Isaac Bashevis Singer, came to visit her in London in 1947. Her relationship with her brothers had always been complex. Her son tells about how she constantly told him stories about her brothers – until mother and son went to visit them Poland in 1936 when she felt rejected by both and never talked about them again. This feeling of rejection must have been aggravated when Isaac Bashevis Singer refused to help her immigrate to the United States after 1947. He also did not answer letters and failed to send money, although – then far from being the famous and well-to-do writer he would become in his old age – he was comparably secure and Kreitman and her family were in great need. Kreitman's two brothers are not known to have encouraged or helped her as an author. Her books were never reviewed in Yiddish daily The Forward, for which they both worked.But the deep impression her personality made on both of them is reflected in their work. In Israel Joshua Singer's Yoshe Kalb an unhappy and unstable seductress appears to be modelled on Kreitman, and Isaac Bashevis Singer's Satan in Goraj includes an innocent girl who is crushed by circumstance, who carries Kreitman's features and particularities. (<mask> suffered either from epilepsy or another physical or mental condition with similar symptoms, and was later in life diagnosed as paranoid.) I.B. himself stated that his sister was the model for his fictional Yentl, a woman from a traditional background who wishes to study Jewish texts. He considered <mask> the "best female Yiddish writer" he knew, but difficult to get along with. "Who can live with a volcano?"(Hadda, p. 137). And he dedicated the volume of his collected short stories The Seance (New York, 1968) "To the memory of my beloved sister". Kreitman died in 1954 in London. Since her death, her works, which she wrote "in support of the Haskalah (Jewish enlightenment) from a female perspective," have been translated into French, German, Dutch and Spanish. Almost her entire small output is now available in English translation. There is only a few works of Kreitman translated into Polish, Kreitman's stories were published in Poland in 2016 (translated by Natalia Moskal). Her biography and works were inspiration of play "Hindełe, the Sister of the Magician" performed from 2017 in Lublin.Works by <mask> in Yiddish and English

<mask> (December 9, 1879 – October 25, 1960) was an Italian baritone and voice teacher who is best known for having been the teacher of dramatic tenor Mario Del Monaco and his older brother Marcello Del Monaco. Also whose method influenced the voice and technical development of tenor Franco Corelli. Biography

Education
<mask> was born in Milan. He studied at the Regio Conservatorio di Milano under Giuseppe Gallignani, who was also the director of the Conservatory. On November 13, 1907 <mask> graduated, receiving his license to be a singer, as well as to become a teacher of singing at any public school in Italy. His exams—with diploma requirements nearly identical to those of the old conservatorio system—consisted of the following:

 two arias for baritone voice—"Sei vendicata assai" from Dinorah by Meyerbeer and "S'il faut s'enfler de gloire," sung by Boniface, the monastery cook in Le jongleur de Notre-Dame (meeting the requirement for an aria by contemporary a composer). the sixth vocalise from Gaetano Nava's Method for Baritone
 the aria "È ver ch'io t'ingannai" from Fra Diavolo by Meyerbeer
 sight reading a piece taken from Pier Luigi Farnese by Constantino Palumbo
 questions about the physiology of singing, about teaching, and on the best old school and modern authors

<mask>'s scorecard showed that he had already proven himself expertly prepared and capable in the complementary studies of piano, theory, harmony, scenic arts, and physiology of the vocal organs, as well as the standard cultural studies in Italian history, poetry, and literature.Liceo Musicale Rossini & Mario Del Monaco
<mask> became a teacher of singing at the Conservatory, appointed by Gallignani. In January 1912 he was called to take the title the Chair of Singing at the Liceo Musicale Rossini in Pesaro. He held this position uninterruptedly until 1941. Around 1932 a young Mario Del Monaco—whose voice had been dangerously lightened in his studies with Luisa Melai-Palazzini, destroying its natural emission and timbre—began to consult and take lessons from <mask>, who reeducated his voice with the appropriate exercises, gradually returning it its power, its breadth and natural ease, and giving it its full homogeneity along the entire range from low B♭ to  high D♭. However, not yet satisfied with the progress he had achieved, Del Monaco began to make up and add to his technique, in order to get more from his vocal organs. In 1936, Del Monaco won a prize that gave him the opportunity to study his craft at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. This experience, in which he was again assigned inappropriate light repertoire, caused him to lose his voice nearly completely.In 1938, he returned to Pesaro, where he attempted to resume his studies with <mask>. At first <mask> did not take Del Monaco back, but at the insistence of Rina Filippini (later Del Monaco's wife), <mask> accepted the tenor into his studio, and within six months, Del Monaco's voice was rebuilt to the state that quickly carried him forward to becoming the greatest dramatic tenor of the mid-20th century. On May 18, 1941 <mask> was suspended without pre-warning, for supposed "poor performance." He later said that it was well known that he was actually suspended for his anti-fascist views. Similar anti-fascist sentiments were held by his maestro Gallignani, who after his being fired from his directorship in 1923, became distraught and committed suicide by throwing himself out a window. During the entire period of fascism in Italy, <mask> was one of only two teachers at the Liceo Rossini who never joined the Fascist Party and refused the Fascist card. Between the time of <mask>'s suspension and the end of the fascist Italian Social Republic in 1945, he spent three years abroad, teaching singing at a school of music in Hong Kong and at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music (then under another name), which had on its staff teachers from as far as Russia and France.During these three years, he learned to speak correct and practical English, French, and Russian. In August 1945, <mask> himself submitted a lengthy petition to the Ministry of Public Instruction (Arts Division) to allow him to take up his post again at the Liceo Rossini. According to the annals of the school, pleas from students and colleagues—as well as the recent death of tenor and teacher Umberto Macnez—did finally result in his reassignment there from 1947 to 1949. Carlo Scaravelli & Franco Corelli

At the insistence of his friend, baritone Carlo Scaravelli, a 25-year-old Franco Corelli sent a letter (dated September 28, 1946) formally requesting admission to the Conservatory in Pesaro. Although Corelli had submitted his voice type as baritone, the conservatory's Maestro Fradelloni immediately pointed out that he was a tenor. Corelli's request for admission was granted, and both Corelli and Scaravelli entered the classes of the aforementioned Umberto Macnez, in his first and only year as teacher at the school. Unfortunately Corelli, still living and working in Ancona, was unable to attend classes regularly, and he was expelled from the conservatory.After a few months of lessons in Ancona with Rita Pavoni, whose "masque placement" method caused Corelli to lose his upper range, he stopped formal studies and sang on his own. By 1949, Mario Del Monaco had become a star, and meanwhile Carlo Scaravelli had begun studying with <mask>. Corelli was so impressed both by Del Monaco and by Scaravelli's improvement, that he went to meet <mask>. According to Corelli, he met and took lessons from <mask> only a few times. Corelli still could not abandon his work in Ancona, so he devised a plan: when Scaravelli would return to Ancona by train from his lessons in Pesaro, Corelli would meet him at the station; Scaravelli would relay the contents and concepts from the lesson, and then the two would go to the old Corelli family house in Via Mamiani, which was in ruins from the war and was still uninhabited, and there they would practice together. They continued in this fashion for all of 1949, Corelli's own voice improving enormously. This provided Corelli with enough knowledge and technique to begin to pursue what would become his first successes at Spoleto and in Rome.Students
