2 w. ago Green Day at Coachella review – fun but muddled set pokes fun at American Idiots

Empire Polo Club, Indio, CaliforniaThe weekend’s legacy headliner offered some cathartic punk pop rebellion but the awkward setlist lacked coherence and thoughtCoachella, for the most part, presents a welcome escape from the world – 10-plus hours of live music a day in a corporate-lite fantasy land, time delineated only by set lists and tents. But if there was one band who could speak to our political moment, as they unfortunately but necessarily say – who could bring the feeling of resistance, if not actual change, to the desert – it would be Green Day, the American punk band whose seminal record American Idiot stuck a middle finger to the Bush administration in 2004. Though the album is in fact more rock opera of sweeping adolescent feeling than political commentary, the opportunity for concert catharsis, if not actual change, is high; it’s a historically excellent time to scream along to “don’t want to be an American Idiot.”Catharsis was intermittently on hand during Green Day’s ...

2 w. ago Experience: I was the youngest person to ski alone to the south pole

I was 21 when I broke the record. On the hardest day I was up to my knees in snow. That tested my resilienceGrowing up in Norway, I had heard a lot about polar exploration, including how Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen was the first person to reach the south pole in 1911. As a child I spent a lot of time outdoors – building bonfires, camping and skiing in the mountains.Aged 14, seven years before my south pole expedition, I decided I wanted to become the youngest woman to ski across Greenland. I’m just under 5ft tall, and people are still shocked that I’m a polar explorer. When I became interested in skiing across Greenland, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. Continue reading...
