Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman; May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who has been a major figure in music for six decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when he was at first an informal chronicler, and later an apparently reluctant figurehead of social unrest. A number of his songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" became anthems for the American civil rights and anti-war movements. His early lyrics incorporated a variety of political, social and philosophical, as well as literary influences. They defied existing pop music conventions and appealed hugely to the then burgeoning counterculture. Initially inspired by the songs of Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, and the performance style of Little Richard, Dylan has both amplified and personalized musical genres, exploring numerous distinct traditions in American song—from folk, blues and country to gospel, rock and roll, and rockabilly, to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and swing.

Ovalracing 1980 Vaartcircuit Dongen. Nico Haak - Langzaam sneller gaan. Met dank aan Veronica. Met een super 8 mm filmcamera van de TV Overgenomen.(Daarvoor excuses voor de beeld kwaliteit). Op maandag (ja echt)18 augustus 1980 werd door Veronica TV met als de grote stimulator Bob de Jong de beste all round autocoureur van Nederland georganiseerd. Met als doel de kampioenen van 1979 uit alle takken van de autosport dat jaar tegen elkaar 8 deelnemers te laten uitkomen op verschilden soorten circuits, en met gelijkwaardige Opel Asconas. Het Ovalracing Vaartcircuit in Dongen vormde het eerste strijdtoneel. De 8 Prominenten waren, Jan Lammers, Jan de Rooy, Theo Bom, Jan van der Marel, Maarten Henneman, Peter Koene, Johny Reints, en Ron van Savoyen. Waarvan Jan Lammers als totaal winnaar uit de strijd kwam. Dat alles op de TV buis gebracht door Veronica TV. Tijdens dit Programma trad ook de sympathieke Nico Haak (RIP) op, met het toepasselijke nummer langzaam sneller gaan. Bij de vraag aan Nico Haak toen, of hij zijn auto(Mercedes)even wilde verplaatsen in the paddock was het antwoord, nou Jullie kunnen beter autorijden als ik en de sleuteltjes zitten er in, wat let je, leuk Hé. En Hans Hoogenboom kreeg de eer om dat te doen. www.kartracingwesterbork.hyves.nl www.kartracingwesterbork.nl

She was related to Hermann Päffgen, who founded the Päffgen brewery in 1883 in Cologne. Nico died in July 1988, as a result of injuries sustained in a bicycling accident while vacationing in Ibiza with her son.
Early life
Nico was born Christa Päffgen in Cologne just several years after the Nazi takeover of Germany. When she was two years old, she moved with her mother and grandfather to the Spreewald forest outside of Berlin. Her father was enlisted as a soldier during the war, where he sustained head injuries that caused severe brain damage; he was later used in experiments by Nazi doctors in a concentration camp where he would eventually die. In 1946, Nico and her mother relocated to downtown Berlin, where Nico worked as a seamstress. She attended school up until the age 13, and then began selling lingerie and eventually getting modeling jobs in Berlin. Standing at five feet, ten inches tall and with chiseled features and porcelain skin, Nico rose to prominence as a fashion model as a teenager.Her adopted name, 'Nico', which she used for most of her life, was given to her by photographer Herbert Tobias, who was photographing her on a modeling job. He named her this after his ex-boyfriend, filmmaker Nikos Papatakis. She soon moved to Paris and began working for ''Vogue'', ''Tempo'', ''Vie Nuove'', ''Mascotte Spettacolo'', ''Camera'', ''Elle'', and other fashion magazines. At age 17, she was contracted by Coco Chanel to promote their products, but she fled to New York City and abandoned the job. Through her travels, she learned to speak English, Spanish, and French.
Career
Acting and modeling
After appearing in several television advertisements, Nico got a small role in Alberto Lattuada's film ''La Tempesta'' (1958). She also appeared in Rudolph Maté's ''For the First Time'', with Mario Lanza, later that year.In 1959 she was invited to the set of Federico Fellini's ''La Dolce Vita'', where she attracted the attention of the acclaimed director, who gave her a minor role in the film as herself. By this time, she was living in New York and taking acting classes with Lee Strasberg. She appears as the cover model on jazz pianist Bill Evans' 1962 album, ''Moon Beams''. After splitting her time between New York and Paris, she got the lead role in Jacques Poitrenaud's ''Strip-Tease'' (1963). She recorded the title track, which was written by Serge Gainsbourg but not released until 2001, when it was included in the compilation ''Le Cinéma de Serge Gainsbourg''.
In 1962 Nico gave birth to her son, Christian Aaron "Ari" Päffgen, commonly held to have been fathered by French actor Alain Delon. Delon always denied his paternity. The child was raised mostly by Delon's mother and her husband and eventually was adopted by them, taking their surname, Boulogne.
Music career
In 1965 Nico met Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones and recorded her first single, "I'm Not Sayin'"/"The Last Mile", produced by Jimmy Page for Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label. Actor Ben Carruthers introduced her to Bob Dylan in Paris that summer. Dylan wrote the song "I'll Keep It with Mine" for her shortly thereafter, which she recorded for her first album, ''Chelsea Girl'', in 1967.After being introduced by Brian Jones, she began working in New York with Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey on their experimental films, including ''Chelsea Girls'', ''The Closet'', ''Sunset'' and ''Imitation of Christ''.
The Velvet Underground & Nico
When Warhol began managing The Velvet Underground he proposed that the group take on Nico as a "chanteuse." They consented reluctantly, for both personal and musical reasons. The group became the centerpiece of Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable, a multimedia performance featuring music, light, film and dance. Nico sang lead vocals on three songs ("Femme Fatale", "All Tomorrow's Parties", "I'll Be Your Mirror") and backing vocal on "Sunday Morning", on the band's debut album, ''The Velvet Underground & Nico'' (1967). The album went on to become one of the most legendary rock albums of all time, and ranked in at #13 on ''Rolling Stones'' 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, though it was poorly received at the time of its release.
Solo career
''Chelsea Girl'' and ''The Marble Index''
Immediately following her musical work with the Velvet Underground, Nico began work as a solo artist. For her debut album, 1967's ''Chelsea Girl'', she recorded songs by Bob Dylan, Tim Hardin and Jackson Browne, among others. Velvet Underground members Lou Reed, John Cale and Sterling Morrison contributed to the album, with Nico, Reed and Cale co-writing one song, "It Was a Pleasure Then." ''Chelsea Girl'' is a traditional chamber-folk album, which influenced artists such as Leonard Cohen, with strings and flute arrangements by producer Tom Wilson. Nico was not satisfied with the album and had little say in production matters. In retrospect, Nico said in 1981:"I still cannot listen to it, because everything I wanted for that record, they took it away. I asked for drums, they said no. I asked for more guitars, they said no. And I asked for simplicity, and they covered it in flutes! [...] They added strings, and— I didn't like them, but I could live with them. But the flute! The first time I heard the album, I cried and it was all because of the flute."
For ''The Marble Index'', released in 1969, Nico wrote the lyrics and music. Accompaniment mainly centered around Nico's harmonium, while John Cale added an array of folk and classical instruments, and arranged the album. The harmonium became her signature instrument for the rest of her career. The album has a classical-cum-European folk sound.
''Desertshore'' and ''The End''
Nico released two more solo albums in the 1970s, ''Desertshore'' and ''The End...''. Nico wrote the music, sang, and played the harmonium. Cale produced and played most of the other instruments on both albums. ''The End...'' featured Brian Eno on synthesizer. She appeared at the Rainbow Theatre, in London, with Cale, Eno, and Kevin Ayers. The album ''June 1, 1974'' was the result of this concert. Nico performed a version of the Doors' "The End", which was the catalyst for ''The End...'' later that year.On 13 December 1974, Nico opened for Tangerine Dream's infamous concert at Reims Cathedral in Reims, France. The promoter had so greatly oversold tickets for the show that members of the audience couldn't move or reach the outside, eventually resulting in some fans urinating inside the cathedral hall. The Roman Catholic Church denounced these actions, ordered the rededication of the cathedral and banned future performances on church property.
Nico and Island Records allegedly had many disputes during this time, and in 1975 the label dropped her from their roster.
''Drama of Exile'' and final album
Nico returned to New York in late 1979 where her comeback concert at CBGB in early 1980 was glowingly reviewed in ''The New York Times''. She began playing regularly at the Mudd Club and other venues with Jim Tisdall accompanying her on harp and Gittler guitar. They played together on a sold-out tour of twelve cities in the East and Midwest.Nico recorded her next studio album, ''Drama of Exile'', in 1981. It was a departure from her earlier work with John Cale, featuring a mixture of rock and Middle Eastern arrangements. She recorded her final solo album, ''Camera Obscura'', in 1985, with The Faction (James Young and Graham Dids). Produced by John Cale, it featured Nico's version of the Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart song "My Funny Valentine".
A number of Nico's performances towards the end of her life were recorded and released, including 1982's ''Heroine'', ''Live In Tokyo'', and her final concert, ''Fata Morgana'', recorded on 6 June 1988. The double live album ''Behind the Iron Curtain'' was recorded during a tour of Eastern Europe, before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and made from recordings of concerts in Warsaw, Prague, Budapest and other cities, and was released before her death in 1988.
A duet called "Your Kisses Burn" with singer Marc Almond was her last recorded song (about a month before her death). It was released a few months after her death on Almond's album "The Stars We Are".
Philippe Garrel films
Between 1970 and 1979, Nico made about seven films with French director Philippe Garrel. She met Garrel in 1969 and contributed the song "The Falconer" to his film ''Le Lit de la Vierge''. Soon after, she was living with Garrel and became a central figure in his cinematic and personal circles. Nico's first acting appearance with Garrel occurred in his 1972 film, ''La Cicatrice Intérieure''. Nico also supplied the music for this film and collaborated closely with the director. She also appeared in the Garrel films ''Anathor'' (1972); the silent Jean Seberg biopic, ''Les Hautes Solitudes'', released in 1974; ''Un ange passe'' (1975); ''Le Berceau de cristal'' (1976), starring Pierre Clémenti, Nico and Anita Pallenberg; and ''Voyage au jardin des morts'' (1978). His 1991 film ''J'entends Plus la Guitare'' is dedicated to Nico.
Personal life
Nico saw herself as part of a tradition of bohemian artists, which she traced back to the Romanticism of the early 19th century. She led a nomadic life, living in different countries. Apart from Germany, where she grew up, and Ibiza, where she died, Nico lived in Italy and France in the 1950s, spent most of the 1960s in the US, and lived in London in the early 1960s and again later in the 1980s, when she lived intermittently between London and Manchester.
Nico was a heroin addict for over 15 years. In the book ''Songs They Never Play on the Radio'', James Young, a member of her band in the 1980s, recalls many examples of her troubling behaviour due to her "overwhelming" addiction - and also that Nico claimed to have never taken the drug whilst with the Velvets/Factory scene but only began using during her 1970's relationship with Philippe Garrel. However, shortly before her death, Nico stopped taking heroin and began methadone replacement therapy whilst also embarking upon a regimen of bicycle exercise and healthy eating.
Despite her musical talents and singing, she was deaf in one ear, which made it difficult for her to understand what others were saying. She was also a vegetarian, as well as a self-proclaimed nihilist.
Death
On 18 July 1988, while on holiday with her son on the Spanish island of Ibiza, Nico had a minor heart attack while riding a bicycle and hit her head as she fell. A passing taxi driver found her unconscious and had difficulty getting her admitted to local hospitals. She was incorrectly diagnosed as suffering from heat-exposure and died at eight o'clock that evening. X-rays later revealed a severe cerebral hemorrhage as the cause of death.Nico was buried in her mother's plot in Grunewald Forest Cemetery in Berlin, Germany. A few friends played a tape of "Mütterlein", a song from ''Desertshore'', at her funeral.
Legacy
Nico has influenced many musicians, including Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Stevie Nicks, Patti Smith, Morrissey, Björk, Coil, Jocelyn Pook, Fabienne Shine (who covered "All Tomorrow's Parties"), Dead Can Dance, Marcus Reeves as well as numerous contemporary goth bands.Kevin Ayers painted a withering and beautiful portrait of Nico in "Decadence" (the centerpiece of his 'BANANAMOUR' album in 1973)
Late singer-songwriter Elliott Smith cited her as a major inspiration and was said to have listened to ''The Marble Index'' for months. Smith performed covers of some of her songs - most notably "Chelsea Girls" and "These Days", both of which he performed live at Satyricon in Portland, Oregon in October 1999.
Two of her songs from ''Chelsea Girl'', "The Fairest of the Seasons" and "These Days", both written by Jackson Browne, are featured in Wes Anderson's film ''The Royal Tenenbaums''.
Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon named his daughter 'Nico Blue' partly after Nico. Blind Melon's album ''Nico'' was released after Hoon's death.
''Hedwig and the Angry Inch'', a movie written by John Cameron Mitchell, mentions Nico as an influential artist in its song, "Midnight Radio". The song is written by Stephen Trask.
Icelandic singer Björk opened concerts on her 1995–1997 ''Post'' tour with "Le Petit Chevalier" from ''Desertshore''.
The Cult recorded the song "Nico", which celebrates the life of the singer, on their 2001 album ''Beyond Good And Evil''.
For her 2002 album, ''Kissin' Time'', Marianne Faithfull recorded "Song for Nico", cowritten with Dave Stewart.
Los Angeles band The Warlocks recorded a different song, also entitled "Song for Nico" on their 2003 album, "Rise and Fall".
Nico was portrayed by Christina Fulton in the 1991 biopic ''The Doors''. She was later portrayed by Meredith Ostrom in the 2006 film, ''Factory Girl'', which chronicles the life of fellow "Warhol Superstar", Edie Sedgwick.
Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes) has quoted Nico as an influence in particular ''Desertshore'' (The opening song on her first album, Fur and Gold, uses the name of the album in its lyrics). During 2007 she would start concerts with "Le Petit Chevalier" from that record.
Singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf has been influenced by Nico, and released cover versions of "Afraid" and "Ari's Song" as b-sides on EPs.
Rock band Anberlin named one of their songs after her: "Dance, Dance Christa Päffgen" on their album "''Never Take Friendship Personal''". The song also makes reference to her death, and her drug use.
Austin based band Shearwater dedicated their album ''Palo Santo'' to the memory of Nico. The opening song ("La Dame Et La Licorne") depicts Nico's death at Ibiza, Spain.
Windsor for the Derby, another Austin-based band, released an instrumental track in 2000 on their Young God Release "Difference and Repetition." A live version of the song can be found on a limited edition 7-inch.
Low, an American indie rock group from Duluth, Minnesota, has a song titled "Those Girls (Song For Nico)". It is included on the box set A Lifetime of Temporary Relief: 10 Years of B-Sides and Rarities, released in 2004.
Two Nico tribute concerts took place in Europe in the autumn of 2008 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Nico's birth and the 20th anniversary of her death. On 11 October 2008, John Cale, James Dean Bradfield (of the Manic Street Preachers), Fyfe Dangerfield of the Guillemots and others appeared on stage at the Royal Festival Hall in London. On 17 October 2008 at the Volksbuehne in Berlin, Nico's ex-boyfriend Lutz Ulbrich presented another tribute concert, which featured Marianne Rosenberg, Soap & Skin, Marianne Enzensberger and James Young, the keyboardist from The Faction, Nico's last band. Nico's son, Ari Boulogne (sometimes called Ari Päffgen), made a brief appearance on stage at the close.
The poetry collection Father Silicon (The Poet's Press, 2006) by American poet Joel Allegretti contains "Poem for Nico," which first appeared in the magazine Art/Life Limited Editions.

Early life
Van Steenbergen was born in Arendonk in a poor family. He worked as an errand boy and a cigar-roller. He began racing at 16 and became one of Belgium's best juniors from 1940 to 1942.
Career
He started cycling as a professional during World War II in 1942, after being an amateur since he was 14. The next year, he won his first important races, and became Belgian road cycling champion. In 1944, he won the Ronde van Vlaanderen Classic, which he won again two years later.During his career, which lasted until 1966, Van Steenbergen won several more classics: Paris–Roubaix, Paris–Brussels and Milan – San Remo. He also won the World Road Cycling Championships three times (1949 Copenhagen, 1956 Copenhagen and 1957 Waregem), equalling the (still standing) record of Alfredo Binda. His last world title, a year after his second, was won in front of a home crowd. In addition, he placed third in the first post-war championships in 1946. He held the Ruban Jaune for seven years for winning the 1948 Paris-Roubaix in a record average speed for a professional race, covering the 246 km at an average of 43.612 km per hour.
Van Steenbergen also excelled on the track, and won 40 Six-day events, and improved two world records. His track capabilities made him an excellent road sprinter. However, he usually had difficulty climbing, which prevented him from winning major stage races. He nevertheless placed 2nd in the 1951 Giro d'Italia. Some suggest he could have competed for victory in stage races had he concentrated on them, instead of racing almost every race he could enter. It is estimated Van Steenbergen won slightly fewer than 1000 races, though accounts differ widely.

Retirement
After his cycling career he entered a dark period. He was named in connection with many unsavory practices. He had a gambling addiction and was suspected of drug trafficking, conspiracy and incitement to debauchery.During this period, in 1968, he also starred in the Flemish adult movie ''Pandore'' as the character Dimitri. The movie tells the story of an industrialist who neglects his young wife. The couple are looking for solace in extramarital relationships. They make a trip to Greece to save their relationship, but overthere the woman pays more attention to Dimitri, a local fisherman. In the context of that era the movie was a sensational, provocative, scandal movie.
Van Steenbergen also ended up in jail for a while. But his marriage with the British Doreen Hewitt saved him from ruin and he got his life back on track.
Death and commemoration
Rik Van Steenbergen died in Antwerp after a prolonged sickness at the age of 78. The funeral was in the ''Sint Pauluskerk'' of Westmalle, attended by about 2000 people, including Eddy Merckx, Rik Van Looy, Roger De Vlaeminck, Walter Godefroot, Johan De Muynck, Lucien Van Impe, Freddy Maertens and Briek Schotte. The UCI president Hein Verbruggen and Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt also attended.In 2004 a statue was erected in his honour on the Wampenberg in Arendonk.

Niko Eeckhout (born 16 December 1970 in Izegem) is a professional road racing cyclist from Belgium. He was the 2005-2006 UCI Europe Tour series champion, and currently rides for the An Post–M Donnelly–Grant Thornton–Sean Kelly Team.
Career
Eeckhout started his career in 1993 riding for the small Collstrop-team. He immediately started winning minor Belgian races like the Championship of Flanders and the Omloop Mandel-Leie-Schelde. In 1997 and 1998 he rode for Lotto, and then rode two years for Palmans. Eeckhout had a breakthrough season when he transferred to Lotto-Adecco in 2001, winning 11 races, including Dwars door Vlaanderen and the GP van Steenbergen.Eeckhout struggled through the next two seasons and at the end of 2004 his contract with Lotto-Adecco ended and he needed to find a new team. He signed with the Beglian squad Chocolade Jacques and found his second youth. He started the 2005 season by winning Dwars door Vlaanderen, and went on to win major races including the GP d'Isbergues and a stage of the Three Days of De Panne. In 2006 he continued his winning form, taking the Three Days of West-Flanders. In June 2006 he won the biggest race in his career, the Belgian National Road Championship in Antwerp by beating Tom Boonen and Philippe Gilbert. Eeckhout had another great season in 2006, winning 12 races, including the 2005-2006 UCI Europe Tour. In the peloton he earned the nickname "Rambo" for being particularly tough during hard races in severe conditions.
