"Works, Volume 1 was a double album with Keith Emerson the focus of the first side, Greg Lake the second, Carl Palmer the third, and the entire band sharing equally on Side 4.

Telling the story of the song, Lake said: "I used to live in Paris for a while. A very beautiful city.

Emerson College will provide menstrual products in all its bathrooms – including men's and gender-neutral restrooms – in response to lobbying from a campus group that, in its own words, fights "for inclusivity, menstrual equality, and the de-stigmatization of menstruation and periods." A Change.org petition started by the group Emerson Flows in April 2022 called for the change to take place before presenting the approximately 400 signatures the push had amassed to Vice President of Student Life Jim Hoppe. "We are Emerson Flows, an advocacy and education based organization dedicated to fighting for inclusivity, menstrual equality, and the de-stigmatization of...

Someone should tell Joe he’s going the wrong way. Not just from the podium again, but with his approval rating less than three weeks from Election Day. The latest numbers from Emerson College Polling are disastrous for Democrats and speak to just how poorly their messaging has been in the closing month of the campaign. Whatever happened to August when Dems had recaptured the lead, Biden was awesome, and the midterms were going to be a massive BLUE WAVE if anything. Those days have been gone for a while because, quite frankly, they were a mirage. Overall, quite a bummer...

Emerson College has a tradition of warmly welcoming racially divisive administrators. Only a few months after promoting a professor who said blacks and whites can’t be friends and divorced her husband because of his race, Emerson College has now nominated Shaya Gregory Poku as the school’s new vice president for equity and social justice. Poku is one of the authors of the manual “9 Tips for Anti-Racist Child Rearing.” In it, she guides parents on how to raise their children within the critical race theory dogma. The manual claims that not judging people by the color of their skin is...

While many in the media feed off polls showing Democratic challenger Joe Biden poised for a blowout election victory, the third survey this week showed the race much closer, with just 4 points dividing the candidates. The just-released Emerson College poll showed Biden at 50% and President Trump at 46%. The survey of 964 likely voters has a plus or minus 3.1 percentage point rating of accuracy. And, it added, “A majority of voters, 53%, still think Trump will be reelected in November.” It was the third poll this week to show a narrow election.

The Disney Corporation isn't making any friends at a California elementary school this week. After the Emerson Elementary PTA showed the remake of Disney's Lion King, the school received a bill for $250 from the studio.
