Jay has done great care and service in bringing understanding of this wonderful culture of the Huichols. As one review states: " In his newest book, Jay Fikes offers us a detailed portrait of the ancient rituals central in the life of the Huichol (or Wixarika as they call themselves). This is one of the world’s most cohesive indigenous cultures, one which understands the responsibilities of being alive, and of being “dead”. Fikes’ message is that reality has a spiritual depth far greater than what is seen by the modern mind. This book helps readers appreciate why modern life appears astonishingly irresponsible to the traditional Huichol.

NY exhibit pays homage to Apollo, black music greats NEW YORK (Reuters) – From Michael Jackson to James Brown, Harlem's The Apollo Theater is famed for helping launch some of the most successful figures in U.S. black entertainment and marking their influence in popular culture. A new exhibit, "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing," displays images, videos and artifacts including instruments, shoes and costumes from music greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Sammy Davis Jr. who performed at the theater over the past 75 years. From swing to Motown to hip hop, it details the 1500-seat music hall's history of propelling styles of music and artists that have graced its stage from Nat King Cole in the 1940s to its famed Apollo Amateur Night, which helped the careers of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Jimi Hendrix and The Jackson 5. "The first time I appeared at the Apollo was during Amateur Night -- my gospel group during a gospel caravan show. And we won. And the next time was at the very beginning of my career in 1962," Dionne Warwick told Reuters Television. "The Apollo Theater is the creme de la creme. And as is said, and is so true, if you can make it at the Apollo, you can make it anywhere," Warwick added. The exhibit, held from Feb 8 to May 1 at the Museum of the City of New York, also explores Harlem's history as a hub of U.S. black culture and the theater's role in hosting memorial services for James Brown and a public tribute to Michael Jackson.
