REVEALED: What I Look Like First Thing In The Morning

A few months back our friends over at XOJane.com asked readers to send in photographs of their bare, unphotoshopped bellies, along with brief notes about how they felt about those bellies. If you saw the result, you know: It was both brave and totally fascinating.

WATCH: Arrested Mother Jones Reporter Talks To Current TV

On Monday, San Francisco's own Mother Jones reporter Gavin Aronsen appeared on Current TV with Cenk Uygur to discuss his recent arrest at Saturday's Occupy Oakland protest and the growing anarchist movement that has made the Oakland protests especially controversial.

Saturday's protest was the most heated confrontation between police and Occupy protesters since November, and included tear gas, flash grenades and bean bags once again. (Loyal readers might remember the 100-point-font 'F*CK THE POLICE' banner that graced HuffPost SF.) But the protest was also marked by a heavy anarchist presence that included graffiti, a break-in at City Hall and the burning of an American flag.

75 Years Of Glass | A Controversial 'Hairspray' Production | Shakespeare's Real Genius?

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

75 Years Of Glass

When Philip Glass looks out from the stage this evening at Carnegie Hall, he will see the same audience he's always seen. Unlike most performers of his artistic rank, the composer has remained immune to an aging audience, keeping new generations as engaged as ones previous, and gaining relevance with each passing decade.

The U.S. premiere of Glass' "Symphony No. 9" will reach ears stateside for the first time Tuesday night, on Glass' 75 birthday. It's the latest from a composer whose works have flooded in unabated for decades (we're just hearing the Ninth Symphony now, but Glass has already finished the Tenth). Running through Glass' career trajectory can be daunting -- a true Glass completist would have to cross cultural lines that are usually not asked of a fan of any ilk, from opera, symphony, and dance over to theater, film and spoken word. His collaborators -- Allen Ginsberg, David Byrne, Lou Reed, Errol Morris, Woody Allen, Twyla Tharp, Aphex Twin, his cousin Ira of "This American Life" -- add more subgenres to navigate. But when you peer closely, there's a social bent to many of his works that offer a more maneuverable entry point.
