She was born Neta-Lee Hershlag, in Jerusalem, in 1981. Her parents relocated to the United States in 1984 and Portman became a dual citizen. “We moved a lot when I was a kid,” she tells me, shuffling in her chair to tuck one leg under the other. When a topic picks up and animates her, she props her elbows on the table and rests her hands over her mouth, talking fluently and forcefully, unwittingly getting her chalky-pink lipstick, left over from the day’s shoot at a Silver Lake mansion, all over her fingers. Portman dips her crudités in muhammara with pink fingers. She rips cornmeal focaccia with pink fingers. She almost accidentally throws her knife with pink fingers, gesticulating while talking about the commodification of news—“Does anyone care about anything? It’s just constant, you know? Acts of violence are put in the same breath as a pop star’s breakup! Who cares about anything anymore? Our president literally had an affair with a porn star and no one cares.”

Blues Traveler hired a new manager who lasted only a few months, yet made a vital contribution during his interim stay. He suggested the group rent a house, either in Las Vegas or Nashville, to work on new material. The band elected Music City over Sin City, occupying a spacious, tech-equipped, three-level rental on Circle Hill Road. “It was like The Real World,” says Popper. “You get this cool house to stay in while you fall apart.”

For years, “Kush” remained a well-kept secret shared within an insular community of Florida growers. It did not gain its now-international fame until it was smuggled to Los Angeles and placed in the hands of Josh D, whose name has become synonymous with the modern-day “OG Kush” clone. Josh D became the guiding force who ultimately perfected the cultivation techniques required to grow this agronomically challenging plant. “OG Kush” is not an easy plant to grow: It is sensitive to light and nutrient levels, susceptible to pests and when stressed, produces a few male flowers and accidental seeds. Josh D shared cuttings and knowledge with numerous friends and growers who would eventually spread “OG Kush” cuttings around the world.

By the end of May 2017, Blues Traveler had completed the recording sessions for their 13th studio album and, soon after, went back on the road for a lengthy 30th-anniversary tour.

Popper admits they chose that curious title because it “took us this long to get it friggin’ out.”

For the encore Ohlsson chose more Beethoven, the second movement of the Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, “Pathetique.” Pacing each note of the quivering melody like a steady stream of tears, his performance achieved that rare beauty that happens when sadness mingles with a subtle but undeniable touch of hope.

The coupling is manufactured separately and is applied to the box end of the pipe and tightened to the correct level during the threading operation. The pin end of one pipe is connected to the box end of the other pipe and tightened during drilling operations to facilitate a continuous pipe string.
