HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Bud Abbott, Badly Drawn Boy, Sigtryggur Baldursson (The Sugarcubes), Victor Borge’s 1953 “Comedy in Music” premiere, the 1956 film BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, Mahatma Gandhi, Moses Gunn, Richard Hell, Dave Holland, Freddie Jackson, the unsinkable Violet Jessop, Persis Kambatta, Chris LeDoux, Annie Leibowitz, George “Spanky” McFarland, Groucho Marx, Don McLean, Ron Meagher (Beau Brummels), the 1995 album WHAT’S THE STORY MORNING GLORY by Oasis (good to meet you Noel), Phillip Oakley (Human League), John Otway, Michael Rutherford, Jo-El Sonnier, my most excellent cousin Susan Stamm, Sting, Nat Turner, THE TWILIGHT ZONE TV series (premiered 1959), Gillian Welch, the first newspaper comic strip THE YELLOW KID (1895), Yokozuna, and the great British writer (journalist, novelist, screenwriter) Graham Greene. I cite him as a key influence on my lyrics, and I’ve read his novels repeatedly—many of which have been made into films (some more than once): The End of The Affair (1955, 1999), The Human Factor, the excellent Our Man in Havana w/Alec Guinness & Ernie Kovacs (1959), The Quiet American (1958, 2002), The Power and The Glory a.k.a. The Fugitive w/Henry Fonda (1947), and the landmark film noirs This Gun for Hire w/Alan Ladd & Veronica Lake (1942) and The Third Man w/Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Orson Wells + Anton Karas’s ironic zither music (1951). 

As a journalist, Greene’s 67-year long career took him to leper colonies, war zones, and odd “hot spots” around the world, along with spying for MI6 during World War II. These provided settings for his stories, exploring ambivalent ethical and political issues of the modern world, often through a Biblical lens that offered redemption to criminals and sinners while exposing the hypocrisies of moral superiors. I can find his imprints in several of my songs, but the most overt is “Unresolved—Graham Greene’s Script for Laurel & Hardy,” imagining if Greene had written a script for the comedy team of Laurel & Hardy (maybe echoing Greene’s late-in-life friendship with Charlie Chaplin). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBvBEVq0PSE Meanwhile, HB GG and thank you for your volumes of spiritually-informed writing and letting us be human in the eyes of God.

BART CHAT 2/2/19

Greetings all,

Boy was it a great week! Last week we have our best Kovacs Award yet.  As many of you know we awarded John Cleese.  We celebrated the Kovacs Centennial, we celebrated 50 years of Monty Python and we celebrated 45 years since Monty Python premiered for the first time on KERA TV.

To make it even more special we have quite a crew with us.  As in the past few years, Josh Mills, Edie Adams son, and keeper of all things Kovacs was here. We also had Ben Model, who I have been hearing about for years, at the event. Ben’s main gig is doing lives scores for silent films (and he does many of them at MOMA in NYC) but he is the main archivist of the Kovacs collection and knows more about the minutia of Kovacs land than even Josh Mills. Finally, we were graced with the presence of Ron Devillier and his wife Linda. Ron was the guy, as in the guy who got Monty Python on the air here in Dallas. It was wonderful to have him here to talk about it on stage. Finally, Andy Curd, rounding out the caravan of Kovacs Award guest, is a documentary filmmaker who is shooting footage of Cleese. We bought a big group that had a great deal of fun together. While Cleese was here he did a press roundtable at AMS Pictures and was on Channel 8 news then did one hour on Think on 90.1 and an interview with Bill Young on Tellyspotting on KERA TV. It was amazing to see him tell different stories and make every interview special.  I was worried he would be tired for the big event, but he was a trouper continuing to be personnable and engage with the audience wherever he went. Then we got to the Texas Theater and Adam Dietrich and his team totally transformed it. I have been waiting to some special projection for a while and he created 3 great projections in the lobby. But the real joy was what he did on stage. We had these images on TVs of Cleese and Kovacs, which graphically made the point of the evening.  Thanks to Adam and Alford Media for making it possible. Bravo. So what is next for us the Best of Fests will have year 2 coming up, and we have something special coming up in May. So what else is happening this week. The Angelika is showing a documentary called Downtown 81 a film about Jean Michel Basquiat, that was made in 1981. We see him walk about well downtown NY and get a real sense of what NYC and the art scene were in those days. The film was finished in 2000 and it will be shown on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons at 2 pm in both the Angelikas (Dallas on Mockingbird and in Plano). In cinemas, I recommend seeing  Jo Jo Rabbit before it leaves.
