Lisa Evers (born June 15, 1958) is an American general assignment reporter for FOX 5 News, host of the Street Soldiers with Lisa Evers TV and radio show in New York City, a former high-ranking Guardian Angel, and a long-time community volunteer for urban, youth and children’s charities.

Book

In 1987 Evers’ book Attitude was released.

Charitable work

With the support of FOX 5 and HOT 97, Evers led a drive that brought a truckload of new clothes, sneakers, and toys to survivors of Hurricane Katrina. More recently, along with the Hip Hop Has Heart Foundation, she helped organize a major relief effort in the Rockaways, following Super Storm Sandy.

Modeling career

Evers was discovered by a fashion photographer who saw her on the subway and took some test shots, which led her to a modeling contract with Elite Model Management in the 1980s. With Elite, she worked in New York and Paris, and appeared in a variety of magazines around the world, including French editions of Elle and Vogue, as well as magazines in Australia, India, and the UK.

Martial arts

Evers has a black belt in karate and has been featured in self-defense videos for women. In 1987, she was the first woman to be inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame as “Woman of the Year”. Additionally, she authored several monthly columns in Black Belt magazine between 1986 and 1994.

Guardian Angels

Evers was once vice-president of the Guardian Angels, a volunteer crime-fighting organization. At that time she was married to its founder, Curtis Sliwa, was known as Lisa Sliwa, and worked as a model with Elite Model Management in New York City and Paris. With Sliwa, she co-hosted a talk radio show on WABC-AM in New York City that ended shortly before their divorce.

World Wrestling Federation

In the 1980s, Evers briefly attempted to become a professional wrestler and joined the World Wrestling Federation. She appeared on Tuesday Night Titans in 1985 and demonstrated several self-defense holds. There was speculation that she wrestled as the masked competitor Spider Lady (a role later to be portrayed by Fabulous Moolah). However, Wendi Richter revealed in an interview that the Spider Lady character was actually portrayed by female wrestler Glendean Mitchell.

Journalism

Evers is seen daily on FOX 5 News in New York reporting on a wide variety of hard news stories from local issues like police-community relations to counter-terrorism. She recently went inside the NYPD’s bomb squad for an exclusive look at their work.

In 2016, the long-running HOT 97 show “Street Soldiers with Lisa Evers,” was turned into a weekly TV show on FOX 5 in New York, airing Friday nights at 10:30 pm. Her list of exclusive one on one interviews with big-name hip hop celebrities continues to grow, from 50 Cent’s first television interview (FOX 5 News 2003) to DIddy, Jay-Z, DMX, Fetty Wap and many more.

Evers has interviewed such celebrities as Derek Jeter, Jay-Z, and 50 Cent, and she occasionally hosts FOX 5’s public affairs show on topical issues, Good Day Street Talk. In addition to television, Evers hosts a weekly #1 rated community affairs talk show on New York’s Hot 97-FM radio station.

Prior to FOX 5, Evers was a general assignment reporter for 1010 WINS, the nation’s #1 news radio station. She reported live from Ground Zero on September 11, 2001 and for many days following the terror attacks.

Bob Dylan’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Bob Dylan Net Worth: Bob Dylan is an American singer, songwriter, artist and writer who has a net worth of $350 million. Much of his most acclaimed work was during the ’60s, though his works have spanned five decades. Since the late 1980s, he has toured consistently on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. He is considered one of the best and most-prolific songwriters of all time. His songs have been covered by over 6,000 popular artists. The cover version frequently became more popular than the Dylan version. Dylan didn’t mind. Every time one of his songs was covered, sold, streamed, broadcast etc… he got paid. In recent years he was earning an estimated $15 million per year in income from his song catalog royalty stream. In December 2020 Bob sold 100% of his song catalog to Universal Music Publishing Group for $300 million. Early Life and Career Beginnings: Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan, was born on May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota. His parents raised him in a close-knit Jewish community in Duluth for the first six years of his life, before moving to his mother’s hometown Hibbing, Minnesota. There, his father and paternal uncles ran a store selling furniture and appliances. While Dylan was a student at Hibbing High School, he formed several bands. In 1959, he enrolled at the University of Minnesota, and joined the fraternity Sigma Alpha Mu. It was while he was a college student that he began performing regularly at a coffeehouse near campus, the Ten O’Clock Scholar; he also involved himself in the Dinkytown folk music circuit. After dropping out of college at the end of his freshman year, Dylan traveled to New York City in 1961 to perform. It was through the performances and connections he made during this time that he got the opportunity to play the harmonica on Carolyn Hester’s third album. The album’s producer, John Hammond, was impressed by Dylan and signed him to Columbia Records. Music Career: Dylan’s first album, “Bob Dylan”, was released in March 1962. It failed to garner much attention, and only sold 5,000 copies in its first year. However, Hammond and songwriter Johnny Cash continued to support Dylan despite this setback. His second album “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” (1963) featured songs with lyrical material that touched on social and political topics, and helped established him as an accomplished singer-songwriter, as well as a political figure that served as a voice for his generation of young Americans concerned with things like the Civil Rights Movement and nuclear disarmament. His third album “The Times They Are a-Changin'” (1964) continued his use of politically charged materials, and was followed by the more lyrically abstract “Another Side of Bob Dylan” (1964) later that year. Then, in the space of just 15 months, he recorded the albums “Bringing It All Back Home” (1965), “Highway 61 Revisited” (1965), and “Blonde on Blonde” (1966). In particular, his single “Like a Rolling Stone” (1965) from this period is considered to be one of the most revolutionary songs in musical history for its combination of different musical elements, as well as its confrontational lyrics. Since then, Dylan has continued to release music. In total, he has released over 35 studio albums, including “Nashville Skyline” (1969), “Oh Mercy” (1989), “Time Out of Mind” (1997), “Love and Theft” (2001), and “Rough and Rowdy Ways” (2020). Since June 7, 1988, Dylan has been on what is dubbed the Never Ending Tour. In the 1990s and 2000s, he played around 100 shows a year. The 3000th show of the tour occurred on April 19, 2019, in Innsbruck, Austria. Dylan never limited himself to just one genre. He dabbled in and drew elements and inspiration from many kinds of music, everything from folk, rockabilly, country and gospel, to rock and roll and blues, among others. He has been described as one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, musically and culturally. He was included in the Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century list, where he was called “master poet, caustic social critic and intrepid, guiding spirit of the counterculture generation.” In 2008, The Pulitzer Prize jury awarded Bob Dylan a special citation for “his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.” In 2017, Bob was the recipient of the Nobel prize in literature. He is the only singer/songwriter to win a Nobel prize for literature due to the poetry of his songs. Other awards and accolades Dylan has won include ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award, as well as the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Song Catalog Sale: In December 2020, Bob sold 100% of his music catalog to Universal Music Publishing Group for a reported $300 million. The deal involved more than 600 songs, several of which are arguably among the most important written works of the last century. The deal included such Dylan classics as “Blowin’ in the Wind”, “Like a Rolling Stone” and “The Times They Are A-Changin”. At the time, high-profile catalogs such as Dylans had been selling at a 20X annual income multiple. If true, that implies Dylan had been earning around $15 million per year in royalties from his song book. Other Works and Projects: In addition to his musical pursuits, Dylan is a prolific visual artist. His first public art exhibition, “The Drawn Blank Series”, opened in 2007 at the Kunstsammlungen in Chemnitz, Germany. It featured more than 200 watercolors and gouaches made from original drawings by Dylan. Other exhibits and features of his artwork include “The Brazil Series”, an exhibit of 40 large acrylic paintings at the National Gallery of Denmark; “The Asia Series”, an exhibit of his paintings of scene in China and the Far East at the Gagosian Madison Avenue Galley in New York City; “The New Orleans Series” at the Palazzo Reale in Milan; and “Face Value”, an exhibit of twelve pastel portraits at Britain’s National Portrait Gallery in London, among others. In addition to the many exhibits of his artistic works, Dylan has published eight books featuring his paintings and drawings. Personal Life: In 1962, Dylan legally changed his name to Bob Dylan. He has been involved in several serious relationships. The first one was with Suze Rotolo, an artist and the daughter of American Communist Party radicals. Then, he became involved with the folk singer Joan Baez, and the two often performed together. In 1965, Dylan married Sara Lownds. They had four children together, and Dylan also adopted Lownds’s daughter from a previous marriage. They divorced in 1977. In 1986, Dylan married Carolyn Dennis, his backup singer. They had one daughter together, before divorcing in 1992.
