About Creativity

 

 

 

"Creativity is the power to bring into existence an arrangement or combination or integration of natural elements that had not existed before ... to serve human purposes."  


    Ayn Rand 

 

   

   The independent approaches that iconic figures like Megyn Kelly and Glenn Greenwald are taking (independently funded podcasts, blogs, self-publications, etc) since being used and cancelled by our secondary murderous pandemic 'cancel culture' is fascinating. Water finds its own level. The irony about all of our new technology is that true journalism will persist and change its course just like a virus does, and as 'Group Think' keeps on foggin' up big tech terrain, their social sickness will keep having to reinvent new vaccines as we persevere. The fun is just beginning.  bye.

...in the documentary film MY BEST FIEND, Werner Herzog steps before the camera in a revelatory cinematic document, in which he focuses on his complicated relationship with his longtime friend and collaborator actor Klaus Kinski. In a lively retrospective of Kinski's life and work, Herzog explores their deep-seated fraternal bond while also confronting the bitter rivalry that raged on during their five film partnerships, during which each vied for dominance. 

   bye.

John Turturro and Spike Lee

                                                       


Did not expect this podcast interview to be this good. This chat between 
Turturro and Lee encompasses everything from the beginning 
stages of falling in love with moving picture cameras, to film school to a 
life's career in the industry. I remember Lee from my days working as a 
sound editor (Folly Work) at SOUND ONE STUDIOS and he was always a passionate 
handful. This interview really reveals just how reflective Turturro is as a 
person and what a good listener he is also. Cannot recommend this interview
enough...especially for indie and experimental filmmakers looking for 
inspiring words to meditate on. bye. 



RIP John Lennon

 

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

The BEARAXE Surprise.


Last night's fundraiser in Seattle was so-so, not spectacular but cool to see old heroes now older, wiser and still at it. The greatest moment from last night's performances was by Seattle newcomer singer Shaina Shepherd (BEARAXE)- she blew the show away. Like damn she's talented- Wow. 

                         

          go to:  1hr  27sec

The Museum of Seattle raised over $600,000 thus far from this online streaming benefit. Also, I gotta say that Ann Wilson (HEART) still 'has it' and was truly amazing in her vocal contribution, too. Her pipes ain't gone rusty at all, yet. I'm looking foward to the upcoming biopic about her band, HEART. bye.
