Yes, we know that Justin.tv is gone forever, but read on…

Please, no more emergency calls! Thanks to a large number of folks, we found out about an hour ago that justin.tv is gone forever, leaving us with no realtime video service. This leaves us wondering how to proceed. We have several options, none of them particularly good. Claude is working on it, and we’ll hopefully have a solution by the time of the convention…the thing is, it’s a spooky set of coincidences, signs & portents, possibly indicating a Major Change for you and your work community.

Yesterday was Monday. The band, FAXL, played live during a three-hour thunderstorm on the same day that I changed the front of the Chen-Rig Temple to accommodate a speaker’s podium.

Then today there was the announcement from SpaceBuddhaa and Kyle and then today, like a shot out of nowhere, justin.tv goes down forever, and at the same time, we come to find out that our email service changed its equipment and may have dropped us for several months back, at least for incoming mail. My email and grishy’s still don’t work, and haven’t for a while now.

Is this a sign that we should move the ICW to the Ashram? Or does it mean we should re-evaluate our 24 hour a day broadcasting commitment? Or something entirely different? Or nothing at all, it’s all just a weird chain of seemingly co-incidental events… Continue reading →

Bill Lucking

Bill Lucking, actor friend, starred in Lou Shaw’s production of Barbara Garson’s MacBird. He looked the Kennedy part and played it to the hilt, but he’s known for many acting milestones beyond MacBird. These photos are from a series of photo sessions with Bill and other actors of the Pasadena Playhouse, Player’s Ring Gallery, Moulin Rouge, and other L.A. live stage venues. I have many more shots with Bill in them, and will be rummaging about in my negative files to find them. The negs finally turned up after four decades of “missing in action”. They were discovered in storage, in a perfectly logical “Perfect” hiding spot. Here are a few shots from a session at Norton Street.

To Act or Not to Act

Acting is a great teacher; you can learn what you’re putting out, projecting outward, to others. It’s rare that someone knows exactly what it feels like to smile just exactly that way. EJ Gold, left, directs troupe.

My Life as a Hollywood Screenwriter

I co-starred several times with my longtime friend Jose Ferrer, and in one case, he starred in one of my “Happening Productions” in Hollywood. This was an artist event in which the “Happening” was an orchestrated eruption of argument in Musso & Frank’s Grill on Hollywood Boulevard in 1969, when this photo was taken by my girlfriend Samantha. The costumes we’re in are relative to the production, not our own clothes.

A Touch of Dali

As many people know, Lily Nova and I used to have tea with Dali in NYC back in the day; this video gives some idea of what it was like to be around this quirky, mischievous and playful kid with the funny mustache. He was an absolute crazy wiseman, with a brilliant wit and a master’s skill with a brush. The only person I knew who made me laugh as much was my customer at Hammacher-Schlemmer’s, Victor Borge. More about him another time.

Beatles on Ed Sullivan 1st is an Urban Legend

February 15, 2012Uncategorizedbeatles, edsullivan, girls, jackpaar, month, publicity, talk, tv, ukgorebagg

It’s a popular legend that Ed Sullivan introduced the Beatles on American TV — I was backstage for reasons I’ve explained in several dozen Talks of the Month. The Sullivan story is simply not true; Jack Paar beat him to it by months, but Sullivan’s publicity people beat the hell out of Jack Paar’s publicity people. It is true that the Jack Paar appearance was on film, taken in the UK, and the Sullivan appearance was live, but at the time, there was little technical difference between the two — the real difference was an adult audience that watched the film siliently, and a bunch of wild hysterical screaming girls (and a few guys) having public orgasms to the point that you couldn’t hear the music. Even the Beatles couldn’t hear themselves, which they mentioned several times afterward. Actually, the Very First Appearances of the Beatles on American TV predated BOTH variety & talk show dates. Here’s the video to prove my thesis:
