HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Red Allen, Al Bowlly, Iona Brown, Nicolas Cage, Marshall Chapman, Katie Couric, Dave Cousins, Dustin Diamond, Millard Fillmore, Five for Fighting, Gerónimo Baqueiro Foster, Juan Gabriel, the Gibson Flying V guitar (1958), Leslie Grace, Erin Gray, Clara Haskil, Sammo Hung, Zora Neale Hurston, Irrfan Khan, Linda Kozlowski, Earl Lindo, Kenny Loggins, Rick Marotta, Mike McGear (McCartney), Butterfly McQueen, Ruth Negga, Wintley Phipps, Richard Podolor, Francis Poulenc, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Jeremy Renner, John Rich, Bernadette Soubirous a.k.a. St. Bernadette of Lourdes, Kathy Valentine, guitarist Alan Lee Williams, Bernadette Soubirous, Rory Storm, and the great entertainer, Paul Dick better known as Paul Revere. The ride of Paul Revere & The Raiders began in 1958 as a rock’n’roll update on Spike Jones. Later Mark Lindsay joined and PR&TR morphed into a tight music act, pushing back on the British Invasion bands of 1964 with garage band energy. The Raiders kicked out hit after hit in multiple genres including bubblegum, country rock, hard rock, psychedelia, and soul/r’n’b, all with dazzling excellence. They cut the first definitive version of “Louie Louie” before leaving their Oregon base for Los Angeles, joining Terry Melcher (Byrds producer) to launch a prolific and innovative run of great records that still play today: “Just Like Me”, “Kicks” and (recently in the film ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD) “Good Thing,” “Hungry,” “Mr. Sun Mr. Moon,” etc. 

 

In 1965, Dick Clark expanded his television jukebox, hiring PR&TR to host three TV shows, the best known being “Where The Action Is.” Before The Monkees even twanged “Last Train to Clarksville,” PR&TR had already set the bar for TV bands, gluing pre-adolescent me to the tube with rock’n’roll comedy and ear candy—and there was eye candy for 1000s of girls screaming for front man Mark Lindsay. He is also a powerhouse vocalist, able to croon soft sensual pop ballads then flip to paint-peeling bluesy growls. 

 

The hits crested in 1971 with “Indian Reservation.” Then the band line-up shifted while Paul rode on with new back-up musicians. Over the years I’ve intersected with various Raiders (sidebar: One of my former drummers, Erik Nielsen, worked with the late Drake Levin, an under-sung guitar marvel). 

 

Fast forward to January 2008. I’d been touring with Davy Jones (Monkees) for many years, and we often shared bills with Paul and long-time Raiders Ron Foos, Doug Heath, and Danny Krause—“brothers of the road.” We were on a cruise ship, floating somewhere on the Caribbean, partaking in Paul’s 70th birthday bash. During the revelry I got into a deep discussion with Paul about stage antics and how he got his Vox organ to “rhythmically float” on TV (he wouldn’t tell me the trick). Two years later, we were in Pittsburgh PA shooting a PBS-TV special and Paul enlisted me to persuade Davy to sing “Steppin’ Stone” with The Raiders (Davy balked, saying he didn’t want to wear Raider clothes, but eventually caved in). Sadly, Paul passed in 2014, but I’m glad I had the chance to tell him in person the joy and musical instruction he showed me on record and on stage.

 

If I had to pick one PR&TR track, it’s "Too Much Talk.” It blew my mind when I was a kid—my 45 of it cracked but I kept pressing it with my fingers till the vinyl tissued (the fidelity on this clip is a tad distorted, but the visuals speak volumes)…

Marvel Comics' "What If...?" Comes to "Alien" Franchise

Marvel Comics is bringing the "What If...?" format to the Alien universe. Marvel's "What If...?" stories lets creators explore divergent paths from the cannon stories. Aliens: What If...? is a 5-issue story that takes readers back to the 1986 film Aliens and asks "What if Carter Burke lived?" The series hails from writers Paul Reiser (the actor who played Carter Burke), Leon Reiser, Adam F. Goldberg, Hans Rodionoff, and Brian Volk-Weiss and artist Guiu Vilanova.

Thirty-five years after the events of Aliens, Carter "Burke is eeking out a cursed existence on a backwater asteroid. With his once-promising career in the toilet, Burke's only remaining purpose in life is to care for his daughter, Brie. She hates him, probably for being a horrible person. And when she finds out what he’s up to now? It’s not going to be a friendly reunion. Has Burke learned his lesson, or is he about to get all of his companions killed again?" (Marvel Comics)

Aliens: What If...? #1 (of 5), featuring a cover by Phil Noto, goes on sale on March 6, 2024.

WHAT IF…CARTER BURKE HAD LIVED?

As if Burke wasn’t already the worst boss in this galaxy, he just kicked off the office party from hell. Xenomorphs are loose in the mines, in the vents…hell, someone better check under the copier. It’s all to save his beloved wife and redeem himself in the eyes of his estranged daughter, but Burke’s in WAY over his head. Did he escape Hadley’s Hope all those years ago just to meet the same fate now? We make no promises, True Believer – except the promise of entertainment!

George Saunders: Die kurze und schreckliche Regentschaft von Phil

Der 1958 geborene US-amerikanische Schriftsteller George Saunders hat bereits 2005 eine kurze politische Satire geschrieben, die nach der Trump-Wahl überraschend gut in die heutige Zeit passt. Versehen mit einem aktuellen Nachwort des Autors, ist sie jetzt neu erschienen: „Die kurze und schreckliche Regentschaft von Phil“. In diesem nur gut 100 Seiten dünnen Büchlein geht es um ein Land namens Innen-Horner, das so klein ist, dass darin nur eine einzige Person Platz hat. Der Rest der Bevölkerung muss in der Kurzzeitaufenthaltszone des umliegenden Landes Außen-Horner warten. Als Innen-Horner plötzlich schrumpft und ein Teil des einzigen Bewohners dort über die Grenze ragt, sehen die Bewohner Außen-Horners das als Invasion – eine gute Gelegenheit für den machthungrigen Phil, sich zum brutalen Diktator aufzuschwingen und die Bevölkerung Innen-Horners mit absurden Steuern zu belegen und sie zu schlimmstmöglich zu drangsalieren. Saunders beschreibt diese höchst surreale Welt mit einer Fülle an Sprachwitz und fantasievoll-absurden Einfällen. So rutscht besagtem Phil ständig sein Gehirn von einer Ablage, auf der es normalerweise ruht, was zu Sprachaussetzern führt. Themen der Erzählung sind Macht, Autoritarismus und die Mechanismen der Demagogie. Sie erklärt, wie es dazu kommen kann, dass sich ein Volk von dem sinnfreien Gerede eines Möchtegernherrschers einfangen lässt, wenn dieser seine Ansichten nur laut und entschieden genug vorträgt. Witzigerweise hat der über 20 Jahre alte Text nicht nur jemanden wie Donald Trump vorhergesagt, auch ein etwas in die Jahre gekommener, tattrig wirkender Präsident kommt vor, der etwas an Joe Biden erinnert. Der Text ist mit einigen Illustrationen von Benjamin Gibson versehen. Hervorzuheben ist die Leistung von Übersetzer Frank Heibert. https://youtu.be/2qoA2bHY7uE George Saunders: Die kurze und schreckliche Regentschaft von Phil Übersetzt aus dem Amerikanischen von Frank Heibert Luchterhand, Oktober 2024 144 Seiten, gebundene Ausgabe, 20 Euro Diese Rezension wurde verfasst von Andreas Schröter.https://schreiblust-leselust.de Read the full article
