The Chairman didn’t need much persuasion to record the tune and, on December 30, 1968, he went into a Los Angeles recording studio to put his indelible mark on it.īut while Sinatra’s version is considered definitive, a multitude of “My Way” covers have sought to present the song in new light: soul ( Nina Simone), Latin (Gipsy Kings), jazz (Gene Ammons), country ( Willie Nelson) and even classical (violin maestro And r é Ri eu). Rather than translate the original French words, Anka wrote a new set of English lyrics for the song.
Canadian singer-songwriter and former teen heartthrob Paul Anka (of “Diana” and “Lonely Boy” fame) heard the song while on vacation in France and was inspired to adapt it for Sinatra, who had told him he was thinking of quitting the music business.
With its balance of vulnerability and egotism, heartbreak, and bravado, “My Way” was seemingly tailor-made for Frank Sinatra, but it was, in fact, a version of a tune called “Comme D’Habitude” that was first recorded in 1967 by its co-writer, French singer Claude François. Since then, countless “My Way” covers have been recorded, with everyone from Elvis Presley to Sid Vicious resonating with Sinatra’s timeless version. So why is it so hard for us to keep food waste out of landfills? This episode, Gastropod visits the future of food waste: the high-tech facilities as well as the innovative policies that promise to keep our discarded food out of landfills, keep methane from escaping into the atmosphere, *and* turn those food scraps into something useful.In March 1969 Frank Sinatra released a single that would become regarded as one of his signature tunes: “My Way,” an anthemic ballad in which the song’s aging protagonist reflects on his life and its achievements. Our ancestors knew exactly what to do with food waste the earliest descriptions of composting were written on clay tablets more than 4,000 years ago. What's more, putting all that rotting food inside landfills produces a lot of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. About 30 to 40 percent of food produced in the US gets thrown away, rather than eaten. Listen in for the story behind the news: the tale of our first and most essential food.įood takes up more space in American landfills than anything else. We've also got the story of when formula was first invented, the dirty tricks used to market it, and the competing pressures and changing advice that have swung the pendulum from "breast is best" to formula and back again. Along the way, we find out what makes human milk-or "white blood," as it perhaps should be known-so unique, as well as why Parisian attitudes to feeding infants in the 1800s made it known as a city with no children. This episode, we tell the story of how we got here, and we explore what we should we do to make feeding babies easier in the future. Breastfeeding can be difficult or impossible for some parents, and formula milk isn’t always safe, affordable, or even available - as we’re seeing in the US, where formula milk is currently 70 percent out-of-stock. But both of these products aren’t always easy to come by.
No matter what your diet’s like today, we all likely started life eating the same thing: breast milk, formula milk, or a bit of both. (But, for your own health, please don’t drink every time we mention our favorite topic during this episode!) Listen in for the scoop on how tweaking your gut microbes can change your mind.
military, Gastropod is here to investigate! The answer involves prescription kefir, a trip to an Army base to play video games, and the trials and tribulations of some very melancholy mice-not to mention lots and LOTS of microbes. But how much of this is science, and how much is modern-day snake oil? With the help of gastroenterologists, psychologists, and yes, the U.S. And, if you’ve been on wellness social media over the last few years, you’ve probably heard that you can hijack this connection to help heal a whole host of mental illnesses, from taking probiotics for PTSD to treating depression with diet. Do you get butterflies in your stomach when you’re excited? Feel nauseated when you’re nervous? Get a knot in your gut when you're worried something bad is going to happen? Then you’ve experienced what’s called the gut-brain axis: a powerful connection between your brain and your stomach.
