Although it wasn’t too glamorous, the evening was sure pumped with star power at Tuesday night’s screening of Andrew Young’s documentary “Change in the Wind.”
Atlantamagazine.com reports that the film chronicles the secret correspondence between Gone with the Wind author Margaret Mitchell and Morehouse College president Benjamin Mays, and the unlikely friendship that developed between the Civil Rights crusading educator and the author of the novel glorifying the Old South and eventually led to Mitchell’s decision to (secretly again) sponsor Morehouse medical students.
Atlanta Daily World publisher Alexis Scott and other big timers perused the lobby filled with artifacts from the University of Georgia. Other big wigs who attended include Kasim Reed, broadcast journalist, Margaret Mitchell House & Museum founder Mary Rose Taylor, Jasmine Guy.
Jay-Z and U2 are coming together for the first big gig under Live Nation Austrialia. The rapper, a very busy man lately, is going to appear as a special guest on state during U2’s 360 Tour in Austrailia.
The five-city tour will be the first concert promoted by the new Live Nation Australia. The outing will begin in Auckland’s Mount Smart Stadium on November 25 and make its way to amphitheatres across the country, stopping in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. It will conclude at Perth’s Subiaco Oval on December 18.
This isn’t the first time the two nearly opposites have joined forces. Earlier this year, both acts, as well as Rihanna, performed their benefit song “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)” as part of the “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon.
In addition to their charity song, Jay-Z and U2 also proved to be music heavyweights when they made the top 10 on Forbes magazine’s list of the world’s top-earning musicians.
After 61 years, Joe and Katherine Jackson are calling it quits. Was it the sidejawns, babies outside the marriage, crazy behavior and scams that broke up the two? No!
