Ezra Miller Believed They Were “The Next Messiah,” Would “Lead An Indigenous Revolution”
More details have emerged about Ezra Miller’s troubling behavior, with a new report revealing that The Flash actor’s patterned “ebb and flow relationship with mental health” and alleged bouts with “illusions of grandeur” escalated to the point of believing to be “the next Messiah.” The report from Vanity Fair examines the tenuous history of Miller’s mental health crises through the experiences of over a dozen close contacts, who referred to their time with the actor as a “nonconsensual emotional BDSM relationship” and “every interaction with Ezra is an altercation.” Some sources suggest the actor first began to spiral following their parent’s divorce in 2019, but others point to the initial fan-choking incident in Iceland in April 2020. At that time, Miller had hired North Dakota medicine ...

Jack Kerouac’s Musical Side Celebrated on His Centennial With Help From His Friend, 91-Year-Old Pioneer David Amram
A Friday (Sept. 16) concert at Joe’s Pub in Manhattan was centered around 100 years of Beat Generation writer/poet Jack Kerouac, but the more mind-boggling number at hand that night was 65; it had been that many years since one of the night’s performers, David Amram, pioneered improvisational jazz poetry at an art gallery just blocks away back in 1957 alongside the On the Road author. And even though more years have passed in the interim than Kerouac spent on earth, the 91-year-old Amram remains agile on everything from the piano to the pan flute while effortlessly scatting out witty bon mots at the drop of a hat. Alongside Latin jazz maestro Bobby Sanabria, Amram was toasting the legacy of his late friend and collaborator as part of The Village Trip, an annual festival celebrating the ric...
