LECTURE 8: ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC: Here’s a trailer the 1994 film BACKBEAT, a movie about Stuart Sutcliffe (portrayed here by Stephen Dorff), full of heavily dramatized scenes about the friendship between John Lennon and Sutcliffe, and The Beatles performing in their early years in Hamburg in 1960. Though not in the same league as NOWHERE BOY (2009), BACKBEAT is an interesting biopic about Sutcliffe, who died so tragically at the age of 21, and his short yet intense relationship with German photographer and artist Astrid Kirchherr (played by Sheryl Lee of Twin Peaks fame). Apparently, Paul and George and Cynthia Lennon didn’t like their portrayals in the film, though Astrid found it relatively accurate.

Colby Thomas as Christine in Hamburg

She was alternate Christine 1992-1993, and then principal from 1993 and until the production closed in 2001. It means almost 10 years in the role and some 1,900 performances. Thus also a LOT of photos, as Hamburg was very good with updating their brochures with new cast photos. Here's some favourites!

During her alternate days Tim Tobin and Simon Tunkin was her principal Phantoms. Thomas Schulze, who was alternate Phantom at the time, took over as principal right after Colby Thomas did, c. 1994. He remained the Phantom until c. 2000 (or late 1999), hence all the photos of them together. On the other hand she played opposite many principal and alternate Raouls: Timothy Breese (1992-1993), Dale Tracy (1993-1996), Jörg Westerkamp (1995, 1997), Ray Gabbard (1997-1998), Björn Olsson (1998-2000) and Kyle Gonyea (2000-2001). Probably also more.

The Year In Doom & Gloom

Doom & Gloom From The Tomb celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, which is crazy. But what can I say, I keep finding cool live tapes and keep feeling compelled to share them with you ... whoever you are! A lot of this website is just me talking to myself, hashing and rehashing and re-re-hashing various obsessions, getting impossibly niche about some of my favorite artists, trying to shine a light into the darkest corners of music history. But that makes it sound like it's a serious endeavor. Mostly, it's fun. I hope it's fun for you too. So, if you need to catch up, here's a tip-of-the-iceberg rundown of what we checked out over the last 12 months ... as always, thank a taper!

“So it's a bit strange when people come up with this theme again and again and again. These are people who are nostalgic about something they've never even experienced themselves. So it's very strange for me to not be that enthused about the subject in the way they would like, perhaps, to have it presented.” "It's the same for McCartney too," Sheridan added. "I was with him in Paris about six months ago. […] I experienced how Paul really got uptight about some of the stupid questions that the Parisian journalists were throwing at him. The same old crap. And he got visibly upset, and after 20 minutes, instead of staying there 30 minutes or whatever, he got up and just left, just like that, visibly perturbed. So he's not into that either." "If you ask him if he's sentimental he'll probably say yes. In fact, I know he would; he'd probably say the past is the only thing we've got. But at the same time he can get too much of people harping on this stuff. And it's been blown up out of all proportion as well. It wasn't that important, the past. A lot of people would like to see Paul go back to doing 'Fool On The Hill' and 'Lady Madonna', that sort of stuff. Which he could no doubt do. It's a lot of pressure, I think, for somebody like Paul knowing that the whole world wants him to get together with the rest of them and perhaps Julian Lennon too, or whatever. He can never drop the Beatles, and I think he suffers a bit from that."

So whats like the general consensus about Stu and John? Do we think they ever messed around or not?

Ooooh, I won't burn and scar my typing fingers on anything like "general consensus," and my cop-out answer is: depends on who you ask. I mean, if you're living in a world where 'a man being with a woman' = straight, or 'a man who never came out unequivocally as queer' = straight, then John and Stu very much never messed around, and, more importantly, didn't feel the desire to.

But I think if you look at it with an open mind, without being afraid of the possibility, you'll see it's more likely they did than that they didn't.

First, you have John, with his life-long romantic idea of being in love with your creative partner (see: his comments on Yoko and Paul)—an idea that fits Stu seamlessly, and perhaps even started with him. In the Hunter Davies bio, John (in '67) calls Stu Paul's predecessor in the 'my trusted partner in art' role.

There is also this conversation with Stu's girlfriend, Astrid Kircherr, as related by Backbeat director Iain Softley:

Paying tribute to Astrid this week, film director Iain Softley revealed her moving words from his interviews with her when he made 1994 movie Backbeat about her and Stuart’s romance.

They hint at a complex relationship between her, Stuart and John. She said it was only after Stuart died that she and John “took a load of pills” and talked for 12 hours about “all the things on our minds about Stuart”. “‘He was jealous when Klaus and I fancied Stuart more, and took him home and left John out,” she told Iain.

“He told me he really loved Stuart, but was afraid of the feeling.”

Iain adds: “I think she thought he meant as a friend, I don’t think there was any suggestion they were in a relationship. But Stuart had always been John’s best friend, they shared a flat in Liverpool. John would write to Stuart as ‘Jesus Christ to John the Baptist’, in the sense Stuart was showing him the way. He looked up to him.

“There was a sense John didn’t want Stuart taken away from him, he didn’t want Stuart to stay in Hamburg.

“At the same time he was very fond of Astrid, but I think there was a conflict there.”

If John was afraid of the feeling, then I'm thinking he felt something that, at the time, and probably still today, was a scary thing to feel. I'll leave it at that.

Also, they were, what? 18, 19, 20 years old? At that age, odds are you do fool around, even if you regret it afterwards. Nothing wrong with that.

Look at this picture of Stu (r.) with Astrid and Astrid's ex, Klaus Voormann. Klaus, who later said he and Astrid didn't work as a couple because she wanted him to be exactly like her image of him, and whose marriage (to a woman) was a platonic marriage of convenience, according to himself. We have now reached the beautiful stage of come onnn! "Straight" was at the party, but so were many others. These relationships were messy! That's awesome!

And how do we feel about John feeling up Gene Vincent, while Paul and George look on knowingly, and Pete Best blanks out? We feel joyous and unsurprised.

A word about Paul vs. Stu, since we're (sort of) at it.

It's possible (what an understatement) to think of their rivalry as sexual rivalry. This is, once more, hinted at in Backbeat, where Stu is more or less giving away John to Paul.

And yet. I think it was more than that. I think everyone, back then, was fighting for more than a bed-partner. They were fighting for their future, for a life unlike their parents'. Paul was fighting for the band, Stu was fighting for John to join him on his artist's way (even giving 'rock'n'roll' a try), and John..

John was, on the one hand, the person either of the others felt he needed in order to realize his dream. But on the other hand, he was the least decided of the three. He may have perceived that, within the trio, he had the fewest fall-back options: Stu had his obvious, much-mentored artistic talent. Paul had a possible academic future bwxt to his musical talent, plus a clear determination to make it in music. John had talent in spades, but perhaps less of a clear-cut idea of where and how to apply it. So he tried keeping both of them close...?

With fun scenes like these as a result:

John sure is feeling campy/cuddly, while Paul is incandescent with rage. A hot look for both of them.

In the end, we don't know if they ever did fool around. My usual reply in those cases is: I hope they did, if they both wanted it. I hope it was good.

I need to check out this book:

John and Paul look happy.
