Milo Miles on the new album Live From Festival au Desert Timbuktu:

Although it was inspired by traditional festivals held by the Touareg people, the Festival in the Desert is a distinctly international symbol of modern Africa. Popular music has become a reliable export from many African countries, increasingly recognized as a force to bring diverse people together. Frequent guests appear from outside the continent. As is often noted, rock veterans like and have attended and performed at earlier Festivals.

John Powers tells Terry Gross about the best party he attended at Cannes:

My favorite party was a party for the AIDS research organization amFAR and every year they hold a sumptuous party somewhere. This year it was at the hotel Cap d’Antibes and you turn up where hundreds of people are dressed in black tie, including me — I was very James Bond, I must tell everyone. … You turn up and two things happen: There’s entertainment and there’s an auction of various things. The entertainment of the night was you got to hear Shirley Bassey sing ‘Goldfinger,’ so she came out and belted out ‘Goldfinger’ and did it better than she did at the Oscars. … You also got to see one of the rare appearances by Duran Duran singing ‘Hungry Like the Wolf.’ Really, in terms of the Great Gatsby with those crazy parties, at some level you haven’t lived until you’ve been in this huge building filled with black-tie rich people leaping from their dinner table to boogie to ‘Hungry Like the Wolf.’

Love everything about this! I will now dance privately in my office to Hungry Like the Wolf.

You can see more inspirational graduation speeches here.
