Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Salute to Singer-Songwriter Jackie
DeShannon, Poets and Prophets, Saturday Afternoon April 6, 2024
Poets and Prophets: Salute to Singer-Songwriter Jackie DeShannon, Saturday
Afternoon, April 6, 2024 at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
Celebrated singer-songwriter, and visionary Jackie DeShannon will make a rare
appearance in Nashville at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in the
CMA Theater (224 Rep. John Lewis Way S Nashville, TN) on Saturday April 6, 2024
at 2:30 PM. The iconic songstress will be discussing her trailblazing songwriting
career and her country music roots.

Now based in California, DeShannon was born in the small town of Hazel,
Kentucky. She became a child Radio performer in Kentucky and Illinois and later in
her teens she began a long recording career that would embrace, country,
rockabilly, folk, pop, gospel, and R&B. Her song “Buddy” a Buddy Holly tribute
which she wrote and recorded in Nashville in 1958 became a regional rockabilly
hit. DeShannon moved to LA in 1960 and debuted on the national charts with her
cover of the Bob Wills country standard “Faded Love” in 1963. She scored her first
major pop hit in 1965 with a soulful rendition of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s
“What the World Needs Now is Love”. Her version of the song was inducted into
the Library of Congress last year.

One of the first female singer-songwriters of the rock & Roll era, DeShannon was
elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame for penning hits for herself and for others.
She provided six chart singles for Brenda Lee alone, including 1961’s “Dum Dum.”
“When You Walk in the Room” was a huge success for The Searchers during the
British Invasion, and decades later Pam Tillis’s version reached the Top Five of the
country charts. Bruce Springsteen’s version is still heard during his concerts. In
1969 Jackie and her brother wrote the anthemic song, recorded by her and a
thousand others “Put a Little Love in Your Heart.” “Bette Davis Eyes” a timeless hit
for Kim Carnes earned Jackie the 1982 Grammy for Song of the Year. DeShannon’s
other credits include: “Breakaway” (Irma Thomas), “Come Stay with Me”
(Marianne Faithfull), “(He’s) The Great Imposter” (the Fleetwoods). Her songs
have also been performed by the Byrds, Ella Fitzgerald, Al Green, Annie Lennox,
Van Morrison, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen and dozens of other artists.

The program will also include video clips of Jackie performing with Country Hall of
Fame members Eddy Arnold, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, the Everly, Brothers,
and Willie Nelson. She will also sign commemorative Hatch Show Print Posters
following the program in addition to copies of the newly-released historical
collection, “The Sherry Lee Show,” of Jackie’s early country performances on the
radio. Presented in partnership with Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival. Program
ticket included with Museum admission. Free to Museum members.

The 2023 Global Peace Index released its annual ranking of the most peaceful countries in the world.

The Institute for Economics and Peace 2023 study measured a country’s level of negative peace using three domains of peacefulness:

• Ongoing domestic and international conflict
• Societal safety and security
• Militarization

Overall the index found that the world is a little less safe than last year, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic — which is unchanged from the 2022 survey results.

While the United States ranked 131 on the list, seven out of the top 10 most peaceful countries in the world are in Europe.

Denmark is the second most peaceful country in the world.

No. 1 most peaceful country in the world: Iceland

Iceland has remained the most peaceful country in the world since the study was first released in 2008.

It also ranks as the third happiest country in the world, after Finland and Denmark.

More than 60% of the country’s population lives in the capital city of Reykjavik, according to National Geographic,

In Iceland, school is free for all Icelanders through college, and every student is taught to speak Danish and English.

Top 10 most peaceful countries in the world

1. Iceland
2. Denmark
3. Ireland
4. New Zealand
5. Austria
6. Singapore
7. Portugal
8. Slovenia
9. Japan
10. Switzerland

The second country on the list is Denmark.

Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, is home to institutions such as the Copenhagen Stock Exchange and serves as a hub connecting Northern Europe with the rest of the world, according to U.S. News and World Report.

Although people living in Denmark pay some of the world’s highest taxes, up to half of their income, it is for a reason.

Due to the high taxes, Denmark can offer its citizens most healthcare options with no fee, university students pay no tuition and receive a grant to help cover expenses while studying, childcare is subsidized, and the elderly receive pensions and are provided with care helpers who visit them at home, according to the country’s website.

Ireland rounds out the top 3 most peaceful countries in the world.

Ireland’s population has increased by 10 percent in the last decade, according to a report released by the Central Statistics Office. According to the report’s author, the country’s population growth is among the fastest in the European Union.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

RN Tagore.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (originally The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere) is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, written in 1797–1798 and published in 1798 in the first edition of Lyrical Ballads. Some modern editions use a revised version printed in 1817 that featured a gloss. Along with other poems in Lyrical Ballads, it is often considered a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner recounts the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage. The mariner stops a man who is on his way to a wedding ceremony and begins to narrate a story. The Wedding-Guest’s reaction turns from bemusement to impatience to fear to fascination as the mariner’s story progresses, as can be seen in the language style: Coleridge uses narrative techniques such as personification and repetition to create a sense of danger, the supernatural, or serenity, depending on the mood in different parts of the poem.

The poem begins with an old grey-bearded sailor, the Mariner, stopping a guest at a wedding ceremony to tell him a story of a sailing voyage he took long ago. The Wedding-Guest is at first reluctant to listen, as the ceremony is about to begin, but the mariner’s glittering eye captivates him.

The mariner’s tale begins with his ship departing on its journey. Despite initial good fortune, the ship is driven south by a storm and eventually reaches the icy waters of the Antarctic. An albatross appears and leads the ship out of the ice jam where it is stuck, but even as the albatross is fed and praised by the ship’s crew, the mariner shoots the bird:

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (text of 1834)
BY SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE
Argument

How a Ship having passed the Line was driven by storms to the cold Country towards the South Pole; and how from thence she made her course to the tropical Latitude of the Great Pacific Ocean; and of the strange things that befell; and in what manner the Ancyent Marinere came back to his own Country.
PART I
It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.
‘By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp’st thou me?
