I used to look askance at Angelyne. In the 1990s and early aughts, I’d see her around town, on one of the now-iconic billboards (image, name and nothing more) or driving her Pepto-Bismol pink Corvette like Barbie brought to life, and I would think: This is everything I like least about Los Angeles.

What I’ve come to understand, however, is that Angelyne was nothing if not ahead of her time. In the era before social media, she operated as a first-generation influencer, famous for being famous, using the mechanisms of celebrity to become a celebrity.

At the same time, unlike the influencers of the present, Angelyne has a kind of purity: Her product is herself. Not for her, Instagram photos of her college room outfitted with free items from an online retailer. Not for her, a reality TV show that helps promote a fragrance or a clothing line.

No, Angelyne’s designs on us are simpler. She has never wanted much more than to be recognized. She is paid for personal appearances and sells T-shirts from a website and the trunk of her car, but her self-construction is more existential than commercial, less a matter of campy notoriety (although that too) than something I now see as a deeply rendered and admirable act of will.

In 2017, an article in the Hollywood Reporter revealed her back story: She was born in 1950, the daughter of Polish Jews who’d survived the Holocaust. After attending high school in the San Fernando Valley, she decided — as people have been known to do in Los Angeles — to set her past aside.

Angelyne’s representatives disputed the accuracy of the Reporter’s account, but that hasn’t stopped NBCUniversal from putting it into development as a limited series. A few weeks ago the company announced that Emmy Rossum, late of “Shameless,” would be starring as Angelyne on Peacock, NBC’s new streaming service, in the spring.

If truth be told, Angelyne’s biography, and her day to day life, doesn’t interest me particularly; I read the Reporter story, but I doubt I’ll watch the show. What I find compelling is something more elusive: that Angelyne represents the psyche of this city, in which reinvention can often seem a strand of our collective DNA.

Whoever Angelyne is and wherever she came from, it is the becoming that is her legacy. She’s an icon not because of her persona exactly, but rather because she has made us pay attention in spite of ourselves.

She’s also a Los Angeles original, a vivid signifier of the place and how it operates. Image, her presence tells us, isn’t frivolous; it has substance, especially here. Angelyne may get a bad rap, regarded as trivial with her sunglasses and wedgies, her pile of platinum locks, her Barbie silhouette: a fantasy built on a cliché. But I’d suggest the truth is just the opposite. She is as serious as it gets.

It’s unclear what, if anything, Angelyne has to do with the Peacock series, or what she might get out of it. If nothing else, it could introduce her to a new generation, and in any case, an unauthorized biopic would be oddly fitting: a simulacrum based on a simulacrum based on the original simulacrum — image taken to an extreme. At the same time, I’m not sure we need a re-creation when the real person, the living, breathing Angelyne, can still be found driving the city’s boulevards.

After all, Angelyne needs to be encountered in the flesh, or at least as a larger-than-life billboard image, an element in the landscape, in three dimensions. As much as she may have prefigured the role of influencer, Angelyne is not very present on the two-dimensional internet, despite her website and a not especially well-tended Instagram feed. The digital realm is not her medium. That’s why the Corvette has always been essential — when we catch a glimpse of her, on the same streets we traverse, we are reminded of what reality is here: a complicated dance in a city that remains suspended between artifice and authenticity.

Once, back in her heyday, I attended a party in Hollywood where Angelyne had been hired to make an appearance. Up close, she looked a little peaked, pancake makeup on a tired face. But why not? She was working. It requires effort to bring illusion to life.

This is the narrative Angelyne embodies. She’s made herself a part of the city’s fabric, a monument as much as a human being. In the process, she has taught us something about what it means to live here, about the drive (yes) that it requires. She is the definition of self-made, from the persona she inhabits to the history she obfuscates. Everything I like least about Los Angeles? I don’t see it that way now. Angelyne defies both her own limits and our expectations. Like the city, her presence is a function of her resolve.

David L. Ulin is a contributing writer to Opinion.

Good morning, and welcome to the Essential California newsletter. It’s Wednesday, Nov. 20, and I’m writing from Los Angeles.

My colleague Christopher Goffard has spent years finding the darkest corners of a place where the sun shines approximately 278 days a year. Goffard is the reporter bard of Orange County crime, crafting explosive narratives that unfold like fiction.

In 2016, his six-part series “Framed” unpacked what happened after drugs were planted in an innocent PTA mom’s car, amid cutthroat suburban power dynamics in master-planned Irvine.

The next year, he brought us “Dirty John” — a narrative series, podcast and pop culture sensation of a story about a lonely woman, a con man’s web of deceit and a possible murder in Newport Beach. (If you saw the Bravo show starring Connie Britton, that was based on Goffard’s story.)

Now, Goffard is back with “Detective Trapp” a podcast and series that takes us to a part of Anaheim where the Happiest Place on Earth gives way to shadow economies fueled by drugs and sex, and the wide boulevards are lined with pay-in-cash motels with cages on the night windows. These streets are where Det. Julissa Trapp, the only woman on the Anaheim homicide squad, cut her teeth.

When a young woman’s body was found at a trash-sorting plant, the scene was so brutal that it gave even veteran detectives pause. The case went to Trapp, who promised the victim’s mother she would find the killer.

“As I got to know Trapp over the course of many interviews over the next three years, I came to realize the terrible burden she would have carried if she hadn’t been able to make good on the promise,” Goffard writes in an essay about the series. “She knew too, but she’d done it anyway.”

A few months earlier, three women had gone missing in nearby Santa Ana. Trapp did not know if, or how, the cases were related. She didn’t know how large the investigation would become, or how it would consume her for years.

These killings and Trapp’s quest to solve them are the subject of “Detective Trapp.”

More than two years after a gunman opened fire at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip, a California woman who was paralyzed in the attack has died, raising the death toll of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history to 59.

In a victory for critics of California’s oil drilling industry, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday stopped the approval of new hydraulic fracturing in the state until the permits for those projects can be reviewed by an independent panel of scientists. Newsom also imposed a moratorium on new permits for steam-injected oil drilling in California, another extraction method opposed by environmentalists that was linked to a massive petroleum spill in Kern County over the summer.

PG&E has reduced the scope of Wednesday’s potential power outage. Improved weather conditions now mean much of the Bay Area will be spared, although the North Bay counties of Sonoma, Solano and Napa could experience planned outages.

About 450,000 people will be without power starting at 7 a.m. Wednesday as dry weather and strong winds roll through Northern California, increasing the risk of fires.

Click Here: liverpool mens jersey

The number of affected customers was cut in half from Pacific Gas & Electric’s original estimates, affecting 18 counties. The shutoffs will begin with Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Solano and portions of Sonoma and Yolo counties, the utility giant said.

North valleys, including Shasta and portions of Tehema counties, will see shutoffs starting at 8 a.m. The northern Sierra foothills, including Butte and Plumas counties, may experience shutoffs as late as 4 p.m.

Customers can learn when they are expected to lose power on PG&E’s website. The utility said it expects to restore electricity by the end of the day Thursday.

Fire danger across the region is expected through Thursday morning, with a red flag warning in place, as a low-pressure system descends into Southern California, bringing the first rain and snow of the season.

Wind gusts in Northern California may reach 55 mph, with humidity levels in the teens, according to the National Weather Service. Overnight conditions aren’t expected to lessen fire risks, forecasters said.

PG&E said in a statement late Tuesday there has been more uncertainty with the strength, timing and humidity levels of this weather system, but peak winds should subside by mid-morning Thursday.

The same low-pressure system’s movement is causing the opposite problem in Southern California. Though meteorologists say the risk is low, rain always brings a potential for devastating mudslides in recently burned areas.

Flash flood watches are in place in the mountains, coast and valleys of San Diego County, as well as large parts of the Inland Empire, the weather service said.

The Times called Andrew Norman’s “Sustain” the best piece of new music in 2018, and on Wednesday the Grammy Awards nominators hinted they just might agree.

“Sustain” earned Grammy nominations in two key categories: contemporary classical composition, where composer Norman will square off against Julia Wolfe, Caroline Shaw and Wynton Marsalis, among others; and orchestral performance, where the nomination went to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and conductor Gustavo Dudamel, who performed “Sustain” as part of the orchestra’s landmark centennial season.

In reviewing that live premiere, Times critic Mark Swed called Norman’s piece a breakthrough for the composer, “a near out of body acoustic experience.” When the L.A. Phil performed “Sustain” again this month, Swed noted how well the piece held up, “a riot of intersecting patterns that look like ant colonies on the move or seeds scattering in the wind.”

Los Angeles artists popped up elsewhere in the Grammys’ classical nominations. In the opera recording category, L.A. director Yuval Sharon’s Bayreuth Festival production of Wagner’s “Lohengrin” earned a nomination for conductor Christian Thielemann, producer Eckhard Glauche and soloists Piotr Beczala, Anja Harteros, Tomasz Konieczny, Waltraud Meier and Georg Zeppenfeld.

In the category of chamber music and small ensemble performance, L.A. new music guru Christopher Rountree and his ensemble Wild Up earned a nomination for their recording of Christopher Cerrone’s “The Pieces That Fall to the Earth.”

Lana Del Rey’s “Norman F—ing Rockwell!” didn’t shy away from expletives, but the 2020 Grammy nominations announcers sure did.

The first test arrived when singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha read the list of nominees Wednesday for song of the year. “Always Remember Us This Way,” “Bad Guy,” “Bring My Flowers Now,” “Hard Place” and “Lover” came and went smoothly, and then came the moment of truth: “Norman Effin’ Rockwell.”

“I was wondering if you were going to say that,” host Gayle King said with an anxious laugh, referring to the song title’s F-bomb. “Thank you for not.”

“I got yelled at backstage already,” Rexha joked. “They’re like, ‘Don’t you dare!’”

Behind the pair, the provocative title track on Del Rey’s latest album appeared on the screen: “Norman F***ing Rockwell.”

The announcement occurs around the 27-minute mark in the video below.

Click Here: liverpool mens jersey

Del Rey’s fellow nominees for song of the year include Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Tanya Tucker, H.E.R., Taylor Swift, Lewis Capaldi and Lizzo. Del Rey also nabbed a nod for album of the year.

The Grammy Awards will air live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Jan. 26. Alicia Keys will return as host.

Every few years at the Grammys, the country community rallies around an older, critically beloved but commercially marginal artist. In 2005, it was Loretta Lynn for “Van Lear Rose,” her collaboration with Jack White. In 2017, it was psychedelic roughneck Sturgill Simpson, whose album of the year nod was no less surprising to him than anyone.

And in 2020, it will be the return of Tanya Tucker.

Tucker, the 61-year-old hard-living, sexually provocative and narratively gifted singer, won four nominations including song of the year and country song for “Bring My Flowers Now,” off her album “While I’m Livin’.” It’s not quite a comeback LP — she released a lovely album of standards in 2009. But her nods affirm the influence she’s had over a generation of spiky, defiant Grammy favorites like Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves and the Dixie Chicks.

More Grammys coverage

Tucker, in her early career, was an instant star but often portrayed as redneck jailbait (note the uncomfortably leering undertones of a Rolling Stone cover profile from 1974, “Tanya Tucker: The Teenage Teaser”). She did revel in the attention at the time, according to her memoir, and songs like “Would You Lay with Me” brought a freewheeling rebelliousness that shook up the genre.

But Tucker was a peer of legends like Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Lynn (who dryly joked that the teenage Tucker was the intended audience for her song “The Pill”). Though she waxed and waned on radio — her ’86 triumph “Girls Like Me” had four top-ten country singles — her influence in recent decades was more ideological than commercial.

That could change with “While I’m Livin’,” which will return Tucker to the biggest stage in pop music after 14 nominations but no wins to date.

There’s also some recent Grammy shine beneath the LP. Tucker co-wrote the album with Brandi Carlile, who pulled down three wins and three top-category nominations in 2018 for her song “The Joke” and album “By the Way, I Forgive You.” Carlile (alongside longtime writing collaborators Phil and Tim Hanseroth) is a clear inheritor of Tucker’s mix of tenderness and tough-as-leather writing. Maybe it’s no surprise that in our current reexamining of how women are condescended to and chewed up in the entertainment industry, there’s something in Tucker’s story that would invite championing.

Alongside producer Shooter Jennings — another outlaw veteran who produced for acts ranging from Wanda Jackson to Marilyn Manson — they found the contemporary resonance in Tucker’s life story and rough-hewn, still mesmerizing vocals. The resurrection of a vintage country act with contemporary writers and producers is a favorite Grammy move, perhaps even a cliché today. But that doesn’t make Tucker’s success any less welcome.

Spain’s Rosalía is making more Grammy history.

The flamenco-inspired hip-hop artist scored two 2020 Grammy nominations Wednesday morning — one for best new artist and the other in the Latin rock, urban or alternative album category for “El Mal Querer.” This makes Rosalía the first best new artist nominee recognized for music recorded entirely in Spanish.

Other Spanish-speaking artists have been nominated in the category over the years (including Vikki Carr in 1963), and Puerto Rican singer and guitarist José Feliciano won best new artist in 1969, bolstered by his hit version of the Doors’ “Light My Fire.” Previous nominees were not, however, honored for their work recorded exclusively in Spanish.

Released last year, Rosalía’s “El Mal Querer,” a concept album about a toxic relationship, has been praised for its feminist themes as well as its fusion of flamenco with contemporary styles.

Just last week it was crowned album of the year at the Latin Grammys, making the singer-songwriter the first woman to win in the category as a solo act since Shakira first did in 2006. Rosalía also nabbed the trophies for contemporary pop album and urban song.

“When I made [‘El Mal Querer’] I made it from the heart,” Rosalía said at the Thursday awards show. “I didn’t think about what would happen later. I can’t control anything that happens after the creative process because after that it’s not yours anymore, it’s everyone else’s.”

The triumph was especially notable in a year when the Latin Grammys nixed the flamenco category because of the lack of flamenco album submissions.

Rosalía’s ascent has garnered some backlash from some critics who have accused her of cultural appropriation, as well as from those who question whether Spanish artists should be recognized in Latin music categories. Others have pointed out that she studied flamenco formally for years before making her 2017 debut and that she has since collaborated with some of reggaeton’s biggest stars such as J. Balvin and Ozuna.
