Lost In Translation (2003)

[javelinbk]

John Lennon talks to Bob Harris about missing England on The Old Grey Whistle Test, filmed March 1975, broadcast 18th April 1975 - part 1

Bob: Are you missing England very much, John? John: Yeah, I try not to, you know, like I had, you know, your friend here bring me the Chocolate Olivers. It's little things, you know, you miss, like.. black pudding, you know, and Chocolate Olivers, and I don't allow myself to miss it that much, because then I couldn't carry on fighting about my Green Card, and I'm gonna win that one first. And then, you know... or I keep telling myself, 'it'll be there'. It'll take another eighteen months to get the card, maybe two years, it's gonna be there, it ain't going nowhere, you know

"Bring us over some Chocolate Olivers..."

If you know the interview that John granted to BBC broadcaster Bob Harris in 1975, you'll know it stands out for the easygoing way Harris brought out John's warmth, humour and friendliness.

Today Harris took over the Sounds of the Seventies programme on BBC Radio and played John's cover of 'Stand By Me' before telling the story of how he came to interview him. He described it as "...one of the absolute highlights of my life."

The talk about John Lennon begins at 24:25.

My Top 50 Favorite Movies

1

Lost in Translation (2003)

Have you ever asked yourself, if you were a movie what would you be? It took me years to find this answer to a question I never asked myself until I saw Sophia Coppola's Lost in Translation. This is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. There isn't a single moment, not scene, I mean moment as in seconds that I do not appreciate. It is 2 strangers in Tokyo, Japan that are there for their own reasons that eventually form a bond, unexpected and coincidental to both of them. They are both lost in life but during different stages between identity crisis that is Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) and mid-life crisis in his older years, Bob (Bill Murray). Both phases in life are completely relatable and natural. The best medicine for these two in particular is that they are away in another world, out of their current element of reality and almost in a dream like scenario in Japan that is foreign in both language and culture. Their sudden friendship brings them even closer when they attend a party thrown by a friend of Charlotte's who goes by Charlie Brown. This is where the adventure element and some comedic relief is kicked in and makes us feel like we are in Japan enjoying life at it's absolute fullest, with no thoughts or burden. The serious moments are Bob's telephone conversations with his estranged wife and Charlotte's distant gap connection with her newly wed husband, both moments are great precursors to what follows, explained above. Just like any trip, Bob and Charlotte will need to say their good-byes and this where the movie's conclusion becomes pretty sad, knowing they'll never see each other again. What I love here is that, this movie is not romantic, it's an imaginative method of meeting your perfect counterpart in a perfect setting at a perfect time - and all of it was completely unexpected making the movie that much more relatable. Lost in Translation was filmed by using film which gives a grainy stock effect for the viewer and puts pictures in motion like a collage and just so happens to be instrumental to the movie's success. Filmed in 27 days, Bill Murray's all time favorite movie is also mine and Lost In Translation is a forever mood captured on screen and sits at number 1 comfortably.

Producers Seek $24K to Get Nicky Hopkins Documentary Made

- “The Session Man” is finished; 39 tracks need licensing

If anyone is ever going to see “The Session Man,” producers need to raise $24,000 to license 39 tracks for the Nicky Hopkins documentary

Touted as “rock ’n’ roll’s greatest session man,” by narrator Bob Harris, Hopkins, who died in 1994, played on more more than 250 albums over his 30-year career. Over those decades, Hopkins was a member of Quick Silver Messenger Service, the Jeff Beck Group and the Jerry Garcia Band and played alongside the likes of John Lennon, the Kinks, Joe Cocker, Zero, Meat Loaf, the Rolling Stones and others.

“He could play just about anything,” Keith Richards says in the trailer for the film.

The Michael Treen-directed documentary is finished. But it cannot be shown to potential distributors at film festivals until licensing is secured.

Harry Shearer sums up why Hopkins - and his instrument - were so important to the bands he assisted.

“Piano has all the colors - can say anything,” Shearer says. “And a guy who’s as talented as Nicky can take a simple song and fill it with all sorts of extra feeling and meaning.”

Donations can be made here.

Continued....

The party is usually held on the 23rd--or as near Christmas eve as possible. Each room in the house features a different activity--television, table games, Christmas music on the stereo, a piano for carols. A buffet table with snacks is the location of a popular continuing activity, of course. The party lasts from 7:00 until midnight. and at some time during the evening, everybody gathers around the piano for carols and devotions. (This gives the Harrises an opportunity to point out to the students that they needn't feel sorry for themselves; God's Son wasn't at home for Christmas either.)

The Harrises have pleasant memories of past years. They remember many foreign students and their first taste of an American Christmas. They especially remember the year that snow started falling just before carolers rang the doorbell. The foreign guests of the evening had heard of such picture-perfect Christmas scenes, but could hardly believe that they were experiencing one themselves.

On one Christmas-party evening many years ago when the Harris twins were small, they were fascinated by a young oriental student who appeared at the door. "I am Peter. I am made in Japan." He attended the parties for several years while he was a student. Last summer when David and Debbie Harris, grown up, were in Nova Scotia on a missionary trip , they were entertained by Peter, now a missionary there. He reminded them of the Christmases he had spent with them on campus.

Love and Affection - Joan Armatrading

Love and Affection – Joan Armatrading

Forty-six years ago I tuned in to the Old Grey Whistle Test to catch a piece on Led Zeppelin and their long-awaited movie – The Song Remains the Same. After his chat with Robert Plant, Bob Harris introduced Armatrading who played two songs – the ubiquitous “Love and Affection” and my favourite Armatrading track – “Down to Zero”. As teenagers in the 70s we were prone to making assumptions based…

Attention Pennsylvania voters!

Senator Bob Casey’s race is now at a margin of 0.53%.

An automatic recount in PA is triggered with a margin of 0.5%. That’s a difference of 0.03% or a little over 2,000 votes. We need to make sure every ballot is counted here, and there’s thousands of uncounted ballots right now due to voter error.

Did you mail in a ballot? Check to see it was accepted here:

If it says anything other than accepted/counted/etc, your ballot needs your attention. A mistake in filling it out means that your ballot will not count unless you “cure” it. Check your county’s curing policies:

See full instructions for curing by county here.

You have until November 12 to cure your ballot in PA.

Do you know someone who mailed in a PA ballot? Please pass these links on to them. You may be the difference between their vote counting or not in a super close race.

Everyone else, you can help PA voters cure their ballots. If you live in Pennsylvania, you can help canvass in your county (see links in this thread). If you are in another state, you can sign up to call voters and help them cure by phone.

Want to help another state? Sign up for a shift through November 19.

After a whole year of war and hunger. We are still suffering

After the crossings were closed again by the occupation and prices became insanely high

Obtaining necessary goods has become difficult for my family

The cost of a diaper for my nephew to wear is $1.50

Other than the costs of eating, drinking, and daily climates

The prices of products have become crazy and unreasonable and it is difficult to provide them in all areas of the Gaza Strip from north to south.

Help us meet my family's basic needs and provide for their livelihood. Any donation or participation helps us save them. Everything has become difficult to obtain.
