Sturgill Simpson, Grahame Lesh, Maggie Rogers, Leon Bridges, Et. Al Welcome Grateful Dead to Kennedy Center

If my words did glow/with the gold of sunshine …

So sung Jerry Garcia, as captured performing “Ripple” with the Grateful Dead in 1980, looming over the Kennedy Center stage, where a live band played the familiar melody to the isolated, long-ago vocals.

In the balcony, Trixie Garcia wiped away a tear while living Dead men Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart - part of the Kennedy Center honorees class of 2024 - looked on.

Sturgill Simpson then began to sing. He handed over a few lines to Grahame Lesh, who delivered then under a huge photo of his late father, Phil, also being inducted with his surviving bandmates. Goose’s Rick Mitarotonda (guitar) and Weir’s Wolf Bros Don Was (bass) and Jeff Chimenti (piano) also lended a hand to this countrified “Ripple,” which was utterly effective despite the cheesy presence of a VW bus and some fake, very straight-looking, Dead Heads on stage swaying uncomfortably to the music.

The same band backed Maggie Rogers and Leon Bridges as they positively butchered “Friend of the Devil.” Rogers kicked it off as a mawkish, adult-contemporary ballad before, with the band adding some tempo, she and Bridges oversung and dramatized the words in an apparent effort to make Grateful Dead music something it is not.

The song choices - both Garcia/Robert Hunter collaborations - also said much about the Kennedy Center’s policy of only honoring living artists (Phil Lesh died after the inductees were announced). If Hunter and Garcia don’t deserve posthumous props, their songs were not appropriate in this circumstance.

Submitters say:

"Basic description: There’s a taxi driver you may know / You think a robot but not so / A mouse named Kevin lives inside his skull / He’s the one who drives the cab / tells bad jokes and who cops ask / for advice on crimes too tough to solve" (Kevin)

Happy 80th Birthday to Private Snafu!

Snafu.......Situation Normal All........All Fouled Up!

A series of World War 2-themed animated short films screened for young military men. They were mainly instructional, educational films, but still contained that same irreverent, slapstick comedy style of humor of the Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies, thanks to the contributions of the boys of Termite Terrace: Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng and Frank Tashlin, and voice legend Mel Blanc.

The intention these cartoons had on the military audiences was that, the titular character, Private Snafu was an incompetent soldier that was meant to illustrate, in more straightforward way, what NOT to do (true to his name that is), with practically each short ending with Snafu getting blown.

Imagine how different it could've been if Disney had done these instead of Warner Bros., as that was the United States Army’s first choice. But that didn't happen as Leon Schlesinger would bid lower than Disney.

These shorts, of course, generally remained obscure in the minds of the mainstream audiences (until recently that is) as they never were intended to be shown in public theaters. As Martha Sigall, a staff of the ink-and-paint department at Leon Schlesinger Studios, stated these Private Snafu cartoons were top secret. They wore ID badges, did fingerprints, got FBI approval and were given ten cels rather than the usual thirty cels, to prevent them from knowing about the stories.

Therefore, it was never made for a general audiences of kids and adults as the publicly released Looney Tunes shorts were, especially considering it’s content; mild swearing (i.e., damn, hell) and fanservice displayed all over these cartoons that couldn't have been possible in the days of the Hays Code (it's especially surprising to note that Ted Geisel, AKA Dr. Seuss, of all people, was the main writer for THESE!!! Wowie!!!!). 

Fun fact: (one of the shorts titled “Censored” was shown on Cartoon Network’s trivia show Toonheads late at night with half of the scene featuring a topless Sally Lou cut out!)

And, naturally, because this was a WWII-themed series, featured a good deal of derogatory depictions/imagery of Japanese/Germans and Nazis (which will not be shown here).

It's interesting to see not only how strongly connected Private Snafu is to the Looney Tunes, considering, not only the same style of humor, but the two cameo appearances of Bugs Bunny (Gas and Three Brothers), which could make Snafu himself a Looney Tune. 

This is especially considering his early bird cameo in Chuck Jones’s The Draft Horse.

Later on, Private Snafu would not only be done by Warner Bros., but also by it’s competitors, like MGM, UPA, Harman-Ising and Disney. 

Two shorts were left unproduced. One of them was originally going to be directed by none other Tex Avery at MGM. Too bad that didn’t happen!! 

Though the Private Snafu series maybe a time capsule of World War 2, as oppose to being as timeless as the classic Looney Tunes cartoons are, they still serve as a fascinating historical art, a look at what our world was going through, and still included a lot of the trademark style of humor seen in the Warner Bros. cartoons that still kept it entertaining enough.
