In the '70s and '80s, though, his groundbreaking blend of insightful spoken-word meditations and music in such songs as "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" and "Whitey on the Moon" ("A rat done bit my sister Nell / With whitey on the moon") was a crucial element in the development of hip-hop. Born in Chicago, the son of a professional soccer player (his father, known as the "Black Anow," was the first black member of Celtic, a team in Glasgow, Scotland), Scott-Heron was raised in Tennessee.

Mountain Stage" is moving the mountain to Scotland. In January, before the West Virginia Public Radio show kicks off its 28th season in Charleston, some members of the show will fly to Glasgow, Scotland, for the Celtic Connections festival.
, leader of The Amnesia Band and cofounder of the Midnight Band with Brian Jackson, is humble, elegant and eloquent. He's the son of the late Mrs. Bobbie Scott-Heron and Giles 'Gil* Heron, also known as the "The Black Arrow," who was a Jamaican football player with Scotland's Glasgow Celtic football club. Having left the United States for Scotland, Heron became the team's first Black player. Which brings us to why I am reluctant to accept the title of 'Godfather of Rap'. There still seems to be a need within our community to have what the griot supplied in terms of historical chronology; a way to identify and classify events in Black culture that were both historically influential and still relevant. In basketball for example, Michael Jordan was the first 'Skywalker,' un...
Anybody can wear green, get blind drunk and wake up covered in Sharpie scrawl the morning after St. Patrick's Day. But the real Irish call March 17 amateur night. They don't limit their drinking by the calendar. From the frat-tastic "Chug! Chug!" scene to a quiet pint of Magners under James Joyce's watchful eye, an Emerald Isle outpost is a guzzler's haven (once the plastic Paddies have wobbled their way home for the year). Here's the first ever incomplete and slightly inebriated PW field guide to the most (and least) Irish bars in Philly. It's a chain. It's kitschy. Show up at Fado during a match and you'll find an explosion of expat soccer "hooligans" doing the most charmingly European things like chugging pints, weeping over defeat and calling soccer "football." On weekend nights the...

Neither is this the domain of hordes of Glasgow Celtic-shirted politicos scrawling "IRA" everywhere. [Ceann] makes music for the green-beer drinkers: the college kids who majored in PBR and shit-talk. And at that, my dear fellows, Ceann excels. Check out "The Worst Pirate Song," which is both mind-bogglingly catchy and nose-suds funny, or "Denny's Bar," which will remind you of many wonderful nights you vaguely recall. Even the straight Irish-Yinzer things Ceann's known for, from early hits like "Ahrn at This Bar," are just simply better with Almost Irish's addition of a full band.
People are starting to stand tall, not nationalist in the negative sense, but for the culture and what they believe in," says Julie Fowlis, a vocalist from the Hebrides who sings in Scottish Gaelic. "We're still battling away. Our language wasn't recognized by our own government and Westminster until 2005. So it's a really positive time. The decline has been halted, the numbers are going up. "They've really blossomed of late," says Shay Black, a member of Ireland's most prominent musical family. "They're really a Celtic band with a fusion of Irish and Scottish. [David Brewer] is a first class piper, and he runs a weekly workshop near Aptos." Cultural activists like Brewer have helped fuel the Scottish resurgence, even at a distance. While the Aptos sessions center on learning tunes, h...

Tim Howard, essentially overnight, went from an anonymous but promising goalkeeper with Major League Soccer's MetroStars to a prime figure at the world's biggest club, English giant Manchester United. When asked to put it all in perspective, Howard, who possesses a humility simply not found in world-class goalkeepers, responded, "I won't do it justice. Howard, though, will be anxious to show fans in the United States just what a season in the world's top league has done for him. Howard and Manchester United are back for the second ChampionsWorld series, which will feature some of Europe's top clubs in an 11- match preseason series. British titans Liverpool of England and Glasgow Celtic of Scotland will play at Rentschler Field in East Hartford Monday night.
The Moonachie sports promotion company that brought world-class soccer teams like Manchester United, Glasgow Celtic and Chelsea to the United States has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Just six months after promoting a string of highly publicized games at Giants Stadium, ChampionsWorld is looking to restructure and emerge from bankruptcy by spring, said Daniel M. Eliades, an attorney for the company.
The United States once was a bleak landscape when it came to international soccer, but now the best teams in Europe rush to visit as soon as summer break comes around. Those Euro clubs aren't coming for America's beaches but to earn top-dollar fees and polish their skills as part of the ChampionsWorld Series. The nine-team tour kicks off today when Scottish giant Glasgow Celtic faces London glamour club Chelsea at the Seahawks Stadium in Seattle. And tomorrow Manchester United, the richest club on the planet, takes on German powerhouse Bayern Munich at Soldier Field in Chicago.
