If the age-related graying of your hair, the aching in your knees and the sagging of various parts of your body torment you, imagine what those changes could mean for a 59-year-old woman whose every feature has been praised since she appeared nude in her first film at the age of 11. But Brooke Shields isn’t bemoaning what she has lost. She’s celebrating what she has found: confidence, power, freedom. In her new book, she paints a portrait of a woman embracing the prime of her life by bucking the narrative about women and aging. She chats with Zibby Owens about outdated myths, refusing to recede into the shadows and writing your own midlife story.

Book Discussion | Raised by Musical Mavericks: Recalling Life Lessons from Pete Seeger, Lightnin' Hopkins, Doc Watson, Rev. Gary Davis and Others by Mitch Greenhill
At age 13, Mitch Greenhill’s life was upended by a series of powerful musicians. As his father Manny Greenhill entered the music business, Pete Seeger, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Joan Baez, Reverend Gary Davis, Doc Watson and a host of others entered the family home. Crucially molded by these encounters, Mitch grew up to inherit that business, to play a lot of guitar, to record albums and to compose for theater. His musical memoir, Raised by Musical Mavericks: Recalling Life Lessons from Pete Seeger, Lightnin' Hopkins, Doc Watson, Rev. Gary Davis and Others, recounts stories from those years of discovery and coming-of-age. A number of Mitch's adventures — including his turn as opening act for Jesse “Lone Cat” Fuller at the Gaslight on MacDougal Street and his decades-long representation of that street’s “mayor” Dave Van Ronk — took place in the West Village. Mitch will read passages from the book, sing and play some songs, and answer questions.

It was Manhattan District Attorney's Office as well which tried to convict veteran Daniel Penny, whom jury found non-guilty.
