Get Out the High Emotions

Whether Gene wore high heels while writing Murder in High Heels I can't say, but it's no secret that he was rather busy with other things, like preparing for film roles for example, while more or less writing songs for Animalize (1984). Who knows, maybe he was already practicing some method acting in advance for Never Too Young Too Die (1986) in parallel to Runaway (1984).

Well, and what is there to say about the music, except that we already know the title of the song we are talking about today?

For example, that this track makes little secret of its two 70's Aerosmith references. One more obvious than the other, and of course, this doesn't really make me doubt the probability of my speculation either. But since speculation is speculation, let's take a quick look at the similarities as I perceive them.

Firstly, there's the intro and verse riff of Aerosmith's Get the Lead Out (1976), from which I think it's safe to assume that the slightly varied and somewhat catchier intro and verse riff of Murder in High Heels was inspired. I mean, who can say for sure, but after all, what do I have a second Aerosmith reference in my luggage for?

Which brings me happily to Sweet Emotion (1975) and its middle section in the middle of its verses. If you listen to the chorus riff and outro of Murder in High Heels, apart from a slight rhythmic variation, you can recognize an even greater similarity than was already the case with Get the Lead Out.

All you have to do now is play a game of Eeny, meeny, miny, moe to decide whether to pin the whole thing on Gene or Mitch Weissman.

It's never too late to click on the sweet links, or just get out and run away for my sake. Be that as it may, the last two of the four links are highlighted:

Interference in US foreign policy and elections? Try Israel

There are over 100 high-level members of the US government who are citizens of Israel. The US State Dept. allows dual citizenship. If you don't think Israel exerts  tremendous influence  over the decisions, policies, and wars of the United States, think again. It is absurd that people who are citizens of foreign countries would be allowed to hold public office in the US. One  cannot serve two masters.

Michael Cheroff - Israeli/US dual citizen, second United States Secretary of Homeland Security (2005-2009). Co-author of the USA Patriot Act.  Federal Judge of the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (2003-2005). US Assistant Attorney for the Criminal Division (2001-2003) of the Dept. of Justice personally supervised and controlled the entire FBI non-investigation of 9-11. He is also responsible for the obstruction of justice and blocking access to evidence since Sept.11,2001. He also advised the CIA of the legality of torture techniques in coercive interrogation sessions.

Michael Mukasey - Israeli/US dual citizen. 81st Attorney General of the US (2007-2009). He was the second Jewish US Attorney General. 18 years as a judge of the US District Court of New York (1987-2006), 6 of those years as Chief Judge (2000-2006).

Richard Pearle -  Israeli/US dual citizen was first Assistant Secretary for Global Strategic Affairs under Pres.Ronald Reagan. Senior staff member to Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson on the Senate Arms Committee in the 1970's. On the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee (1987-2004) under the Bush Administration.  Resigned due to conflicts of interest. Most likely an Israeli government agent. He was expelled from Senator's Jackson's office in the 1970's after the NSA caught him passing highly classified national security documents to the Israeli embassy. Perle was amember of the Bilderberg Group  until Dec. 2015. Also known as the "Prince of Darkness" and is a major player in the Israeli lobby.

Paul Wolfowitz - Israeli/US dual citizen. He is a political scientist and diplomat, was the tenth President of the World Bank (2005-2007). Resigned under pressure from World Bank members for misuse of power. US Deputy Secretary of Defense (2001-2005) under G.W. Bush and US Ambassador to Indonesia under Ronald Reagan and G.H.W. Bush (1986-1989).

Douglas Feith - Israeli/US dual citizen. Worked at the Reagan White House as a Middle East specialist for the National Security Council and then served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Negotiations Policy. Served as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy in the G.W.Bush Administration from 2001 to 2005. He is closely associated with the extremist group the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), which attacks Jews that don't agree with their extremist views. Feith supervised the Pentagon Office of Special Plans, a group of policy and intelligence analysis created to provide senior government officials with unvetted raw intelligence. The office was responsible for hiring Lawrence Franklin who was convicted along with AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) employees Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman for passing classified National defense information to an Israeli diplomat Naor Gilon.

Henry Kissenger - Israeli/US dual citizen was the 56th US Secretary of State from 1973-1977 under Pres. Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Was Assistant to the Pres. for Natiional Security Affairs under Nixon and Ford. Member of the Foreign  Intelligence Advisory Board from 1984-1990. A member of the Commission on Integrated Long-Term Strategy of the National Security Council and Defense Department  from 1986-1988.  A member of both the Council of Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission.

John Bolton - Israeli/US dual citizen. National Security Advisor to Pres. Trump. Assistant Attorney General under Reagan (1985-1989). One of the most hawkish of war hawks, he aggressively supported and helped plan military action and regime change in Iraq and Libya and is now doing the same thing in Syria and Iran.

Israeli/US dual citizens in high level US government positions:

Janet Yellen-Federal Reserve Chair

Stanley Fisher-Federal Reserve Vice-Chair

Lincoln Bloomfield-Assistant Secretary of State

Daniel Kutzer-Ambassador to Israel

Cliff Sobel-Ambassador to the Netherlands

Stuart Bernstein-Ambassador to Denmark

Nancy Brinker-Ambassador to Hungary

Frank Lavin-Ambassador to Singapore

Ron Weiser-Ambassador to Slovakia

Jay Lefkowitz-Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Domestic Policy Council

Ken Melman-White House Political Director

Brad Blakeman-White House Director of Scheduling

There are 14 current and former US Senators who are dual Israeli/US citizens.

There are 32 current or past members of the US House of Representatives who are Israeli/US citizens.

Noah Kulwin, October 24, 2024

What makes the Israeli state the Tom Ripley of geopolitics is not its lies but the fact that audiences so willingly believe them. This is not because Israeli propaganda is so damnably effective. It is because Israel is so instrumental to the projection of American power abroad that Western powers cannot imagine life without it (“If Israel didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it” is a favored Bidenism). In practice, this amounts to a tolerance for state deception enjoyed by no other major U.S. ally, save Saudi Arabia. Light treason such as that of Jonathan Pollard or the accused AIPAC lobbyists Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman isn’t the half of it. The Genesis myth of this lying was the Israeli napalm bombing of the USS Liberty in 1967, a failed attempt to tip the Americans into directly intervening in the then-raging Six-Day War—which was quickly hushed up in Washington, and falsely called an accident. “Ah, the Liberty!” Gore Vidal once said. “That’s where it all began. If you can kill American sailors and still get rewarded with fighter jets, you can get away with any atrocity.”

[...]

I must hope that Western powers do not have the stomach to see Israel actually bring to fruition all of this violence, against the consent of future generations and virtually the entire non-U.S.-aligned world.

268 Directors and the end of the blog

This post marks the end of the Ask a Director experiment. I’m so grateful to all who have contributed, supported and engaged with it over the past six and a half years. 

This blog was started at a time when I felt incredibly alone in the directing field. I had always been taught that a director operates solo, that it was a lonely career and above all, it was based on scarcity. This was a style of working and living that didn't fit for me. I wanted to talk to other directors about their practice and thoughts about the field, both national and international. This blog was started as a way to connect, to uplift other directors and to create a conversation about the changing field and practices. 

It's surpassed all of these goals and brought me more joy than I can name. 

I'm now at a moment where my practice and advocacy are taking different and exciting paths and it's time for me to put this site to bed. I remain committed to uplifting other directors, to talking about the practice, to flattening hierarchies, to opening doors for new ways of working, and leading rehearsal rooms, companies, and classrooms away from silos and vacuums. Featuring these 268 different directors was just the beginning. 

I encourage you all to hire them (and others), advocate for them (and others) and choose to work in a system that values connection and generosity.
