The Long and Winding Road

'I remember one situation: When I was in the Manfred Mann band, I came down to their [The Beatles] studio when they were recording – was it “The Long and Winding Road”? – where Paul asked me to play bass . I said, “No no no.” I mean, c'mon, with Paul there? That was just silly. So that was the only time he even suggested me playing with them.'

( Klaus Voormann, Variety, Apr 22, 2021)

'The song [The Long and Winding Road] was designed as a standard to be taken up by mainstream balladeers… It features some atrocious bass-playing by Lennon, prodding clumsily around as if uncertain of the harmonies and making many comical mistakes. Lennon's crude bass playing on 'The Long and Winding Road', though largely accidental, amounts to sabotage when presented as finished work <…> With its heart-breaking suspensions and yearning backward glances from the sad wisdom of the major key to the lost loves and illusions of the minor, 'The Long and Winding Road' is one of the most beautiful things McCartney ever wrote. Its words, too, are among his most poignant, particularly the reproachful lines of the brief four-bar middle section. A shame Lennon didn't listen more generously.' (Revolution in the Head, Ian MacDonald, 2005)

'I was a bit flipped out and tripped out at that time. It's a sad song because it's all about the unattainable; the door you never quite reach. This is the road that you never get to the end of.' (Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now, Barry Miles)

The Long and Winding Road on One Hand Clapping: Paul sings 'don't leave me standing there' instead 'it always leads me here' or 'don't leave me standing here'. Forgot the words, must be, who knows.

Also:

'any way you'll never know the many ways I've tried' (Let It Be, 1970, the original 26 January 1969 take)

vs

'any way you always know the many ways I've tried' (Naked Version, 2013, the original 31 January 1969 take)

Cine y TV: Montgomery MacNeil

"Fama" fue, durante los ochenta, un fenómeno tan global como "High School Musical" (2006) o "Glee" (2009-2015). Ya el filme, dirigido por Alan Parker (tras las cámaras de otros proyectos musicales igualmente icónicos como "Pink Floyd, The Wall" o "Evita"), dejó a la canción "Fame", en la voz de Irene Cara, como símbolo de la década y ganadora del Oscar a la Mejor Canción. Luego, el suceso se extendería con una serie aún más popular que duró seis temporadas (entre 1982 y 1987) y una remake no muy bien recibida, estrenada en 2009.

La trama, en la que un grupo de jóvenes asisten a la High School of Performing Arts, institución en la que aprenderán diversas expresiones artísticas, versa en cuatro etapas: Audiciones, Primer Año (Freshman Year), Segundo Año (Sophomore Year), Tercer Año (Junior Year) y Cuarto Año (Senior Year), el final.

Montgomery MacNeil (Paul McCrane en el filme; P. R. Paul en la serie, en la que aparece sólo la primera temporada y el último episodio de la sexta) es uno de los muchachos a los que la historia presta atención, junto a la ya mencionada Cara (Coco Hernandez), Lee Curreri (Bruno Martelli), Laura Dean (Lisa Monroe), Antonia Franceschi (Hilary Van Doren), Barry Miller (Ralph Garci), Gene Anthony Ray (Leroy Johnson) o Maureen Teefy (Doris Finsecker). MacNeil inicia la película con un parlamento doloroso que, luego descubriremos, forma parte de un texto para las audiciones que le permita ser aceptado en la escuela. Muchacho sensible cuya pasión es la actuación, gran amigo de Ralph y Doris, más tarde contará otra historia, la suya, en la que a los diez años manifiesta los primeros signos de su homosexualidad. Tanto él como su familia creían que sería un asunto pasajero, una fase, pero un psicólogo les confirma lo inevitable. Desde luego, aparecen burlas homofóbicas, pero, por lo general, no pasan a mayores.

Su madre también fue actriz (y una muy exitosa, de nombre Melinda) y la serie revela que la relación entre ambos no es exactamente afectuosa. De mentalidad centrada (algo que queda claro en la película), tiene un talento nato para los negocios. A pesar de que es uno de los personajes más queridos de la obra original, su paso televisivo es evasivo y misterioso, a tal punto de que en su última aparición no deja ninguna explicación sobre su destino durante las temporadas anteriores.

Aquí, algunas imágenes de MacNeil en la serie:

Saturday Night Fever

Released December 16, 1977

Directed by John Badham

Box Office: $237.1 million

Starring

John Travolta, Karen Lynn Gorney, Donna Pescow, Barry Miller, Joseph Cali & Martin Shakar.

The film's relatively low budget ($3.5 million) meant that most of the actors were relative unknowns, many of whom were recruited from New York's theatre scene. For more than 40% of the actors it was their film debut.

Happy 70th in heaven Arthur! Arthur Russell, Allen's kitchen, east 12th Street, New York City, December 22, 1990. Allen and Arthur had met in 1971 when Barry Miles auditioned Arthur for a recording session in San Francisco for Allen's William Blake Songs of Innocence and Experience, Volume 2. They remained friends and collaborated often ever since. Arthur lived upstairs from Allen starting in the mid 1970s. Audika Records has just released a new collection of 19 tracks,  Iowa Dream, featuring a whole range of Russell's work officially out now.

Ritkán olvasok hasonló jellegű albumokat, de nagyon alapos és informatív volt! Több ilyen minőségű kiadvány kellene ebben a kategóriában.

Having just bought a small but significant quantity of #posters produced by the largely in Paris by the #soixantehuitard generation under the rubric of the #atelierpopulaire #mai1968 and June of the same year. It struck me how very similar they are to the collection issued by the #berkeleypoliticalposterworkshop in 1970 to protest #richardnixon carrying over of the #vietnamwar into Cambodia. I did a book on them, rather despised by the Bay Area serigraphy people at the time, the cataloguing was by the great Laura Batten, the essay by #barrymiles. I sold them in toto to the great #felixdennis and then posthumously to him to @houghtonlib #agitprop #affiches
