The Band's version credits Jaime Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm on the record label, rather than The Band. Composition[edit]Inspiration and influences[edit]The inspiration for and influences affecting the composition of "The Weight" came from the music of the American South, the life experiences of band members, particularly Levon Helm, and movies of Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel. The original members of The Band performed "The Weight" as an American Southernfolk song with country music (vocals, guitars and drums) and gospel music (piano and organ) elements. The lyrics,[1. 0] written in the first- person, are about a traveler's experiences arriving, visiting, and departing a town called Nazareth.

According to Robertson, this is based on Nazareth, Pennsylvania because it was the home of Martin Guitars. He wrote the guitar parts on a 1. Martin.[citation needed] The singers, led by Helm, vocalize the traveler's encounters with people in the town from the perspective of a Bible Belt American Southerner,[1. Helm himself, a native of rural Arkansas. After Helm's death in 2. Robertson, who was raised in Canada, described how visits to the Memphis, Tennessee area, around which Helm grew up, affected him and influenced his songwriting: "To me ..

Because I was at such a vulnerable age then, it made a really big impact on me. Just that I had the honor joining up with this group and then even going to this place, which was close to a religious experience – even being able to put my feet on the ground there, because I was from Canada, right?

So it was like, 'Woah, this is where this music grows in the ground, and [flows from] the Mississippi river. My goodness.' It very much affected my songwriting and, because I knew Levon's musicality so well, I wanted to write songs that I thought he could sing better than anybody in the world."While I was there, I was just gathering images and names, and ideas and rhythms, and I was storing all of these things .. And when it was time to sit down and write songs, when I reached into the attic to see what I was gonna write about, that's what was there.

I just felt a strong passion toward the discovery of going there, and it opened my eyes, and all my senses were overwhelmed by the feeling of that place. When I sat down to write songs, that's all I could think of at the time."[1. The colorful characters in "The Weight" were based on real people members of The Band knew, as Levon Helm explained in his autobiography, This Wheel's on Fire. In particular, "young Anna Lee" mentioned in the third verse is Helm's longtime friend Anna Lee Amsden,[1. Carmen" was from Helm's hometown, Turkey Scratch, Arkansas.[1. Crazy Chester" was an eccentric resident of Fayetteville, Arkansas, who carried a cap gun.

Ronnie Hawkins would tell him to "keep the peace" at his Rockwood Club when Chester arrived. According to Robertson, "The Weight" was inspired by the movies of Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel. Buñuel's films are known for their surreal imagery and criticism of organized religion, particularly Catholicism. The song's lyrics and music invoke vivid imagery, the main character's perspective is influenced by the Bible, and the episodic story was inspired by the predicaments Buñuel's film characters faced that undermined their goals for maintaining or improving their moral character. Of this, Robertson once stated: "(Buñuel) did so many films on the impossibility of sainthood. People trying to be good in Viridiana and Nazarin, people trying to do their thing.

In 'The Weight' it's the same thing. People like Buñuel would make films that had these religious connotations to them but it wasn't necessarily a religious meaning. In Buñuel there were these people trying to be good and it's impossible to be good. In 'The Weight' it was this very simple thing. Someone says, 'Listen, would you do me this favour? When you get there will you say "hello" to somebody or will you give somebody this or will you pick up one of these for me? Oh? You're going to Nazareth, that's where the Martin guitar factory is.

Do me a favour when you're there.' This is what it's all about. So the guy goes and one thing leads to another and it's like 'Holy shit, what's this turned into? Watch The Monster Project Online Mic on this page. I've only come here to say "hello" for somebody and I've got myself in this incredible predicament.' It was very Buñuelish to me at the time."[1.

The Band performed "The Weight" as the tenth song in their set at Woodstock. The Woodstock arrangement was more elaborate than the comparatively elemental and spare studio recording. Notably, it retained Robertson's simple folk guitar introduction, but Helm's slow studio performance drum bangs were replaced by a short drum roll that provided the feel of a faster tempo though the actual tempo was the same as the studio performance.

Manuel's Lowrey organ, which was mixed out of the studio recording, was prominent; and Robertson participated vocally in the choruses. In the 1. 97. 0s, "The Weight" appeared on three live albums by The Band, Rock of Ages, Before the Flood, and The Last Waltz.

Just How Dead Is Microsoft Paint? Updated]This morning, Windows users woke to terrible news: Microsoft was reportedly axing its beloved Microsoft Paint. The program, which has been annotating our memes, creating our webcomics, and teaching us how to art since 1. Microsoft’s list of Windows features to be removed or deprecated in the Windows 1.

Fall Creators Update. But this doesn’t mean Paint as we know it is dead! The list Paint was featured on very specifically says that each product will either be killed, or it will be deprecated—which merely means it will no longer be actively developed. Paint falls into the latter category. So it could be dropped in a future update, or it could hang around for the next decade—an artifact of a different time. Outlook Express, another Windows application that’s conjures memories for older users, is being killed in the same update. It is officially supplanted by the big boy Microsoft Outlook, which is more stylistically in line with Windows 1.

Outlook Express. While Outlook Express has long languished in the shadow of its hipper Outlook cousin, MS Paint has seen infrequent updates that at least allow it to look like it belongs on a 2. Microsoft is very aware of how much affection users have for Microsoft Paint. The product, which many of us used as a digital doodling book when we were kids, has a cult following. When Microsoft briefed press on the original Creators Update back in March, its representatives only had nice things to say about the application.

Paint is on every Windows computer! The Amazing Race Season 22 Episode 4 there. It makes creating art easy! It’s like Photoshop but simple and free! This is not how you talk when you’re planning to ax a product. This is definitely the kind of talk you deliver when you’re launching a new Paint product.

Which was what was happening at that press briefing. Microsoft launched Paint 3.

D, a 3. D rendering and printing tool intended to simplify the production of 3. D products, in March.

The name Paint 3. D was specifically used so play on people’s nostalgia for MS Paint. It’s not unreasonable to expect that the upcoming Fall Creators Update will see Paint 3. D expanded to incorporate the features we all know and love from Paint. Either way, it is not in Microsoft’s best interest to kill an application that has been loved for more than 3. Right now Microsoft is campaigning to steal all the artists and other creators who have traditionally preferred the Mac ecosystem for creating digital art.

It’s why Microsoft spent so much time talking about the Surface Pen when it updated the Surface Pro a few months ago, and it’s why it launched the Surface Studio last October. Heck, it’s why it keeps calling every new Windows OS update a “creators” update. It wants those users! Transforming its most enduring creative application into something more robust is a clear next step.

Eventually Microsoft could kill the ugly version of Paint we love in order to release shiny new version of Paint or a Paint- adjacent application. Or Microsoft could just leave MS Paint in the Deprecated column for a while, a cool app eventually destined to be forgotten as younger computer users snap up alternate tools like Photoshop Express or Autodesk Sketchbook. Either way Microsoft Paint isn’t dead, it’s just deprecated, and Microsoft has made no comment on how long it could be deprecated. So maybe don’t go ordering funeral flowers just yet. We’ve reached out to Microsoft to learn more about the plans for Paint and will update if we hear back get back to us. Update: A Microsoft spokesperson responded with the following statement: MS Paint is not going away.

In addition to the new 3. D capabilities, many of the MS Paint features people know and love like photo editing and 2. D creation are in Paint 3. D - the new app for creativity, available for free with the Windows 1. Creators update. In the future, we will offer MS Paint in the Windows Store also for free and continue to provide new updates and experiences to Paint 3.

D so people have the best creative tools all in one place. So there you have it. MS Paint is safe.. Microsoft via The Guardian].
