One very positive endorsement from my Twitter stream, and another from my Tumblr stream from a person who watches ~300 movies/year, but have not yet seen it.
Hello from the Target lunchroom. I've got 30 unpaid minutes to enjoy my sandwich, then it's back to shelving economy-size cartons of laundry detergent. #justshootme
I really need to get my ass into the Robert Caro LBJ books, it occurs to me. I just missed his presidency as a live act and I find it (and him) contradictory and fascinating.
Greetings Toby, Duke, and Doug!
Hope this is making the lunchroom a bit more bearable, Doug.
Also been meaning to check out those Caro LBJ books. Always thought the current Dems could take some lessons from his operating style.
Also, I found this NYer piece re Congress now and then to be really worth my time: www.newyorker.com...
12:36pm
Toby:
"Power Broker" & Joe Mitchell's "Up in the Old Hotel" are my two fave NYC books. Has Caro weighed in on "Selma"?
12:36pm
Doug Schulkind:
@duke
I could put my walkie-talkie next to my iPhone and pump D:O Radio to all the employees. I can't sat it's much if a Coltrane crowd.
12:36pm
Dean:
I'm confused. Wasn't Caro that "Goochie, goochie!" singer married to Xavier Cugat? She sang about El BJ?
12:37pm
Dean:
Love that Mitchell book!
12:39pm
Toby:
Ornette's "Crisis" is another out-of-print or can't find on CD collections that seems to have suppressed by the folks @ Langley
12:40pm
Toby:
"talking" on "Alabama" (which was actually recorded in the studio) is, I think, Elvin hum/grunting as was his want...
12:41pm
Doug Schulkind:
Caro writes very movingly about the connection between Selma and LBJ's amazing speech to the joint houses of Congress when he demanded action on the Voting Rights Act. That LBJ used the phrase "We shall overcome" in his address was a stunning moment of surreality.
Was fortunate to see an amazing performance of 'Alabama' given by The Archie Shepp-David Murray Quintet w/Elvin at UVa back in '93. Archie spoke some very sobering words of introduction. Always wondered whether any recordings of this made it into the wild.
12:42pm
Toby:
never really understood what "post-racial" even means or is, in fact, desirable. Isn't "post-RACIST" more to the point?
MLK Jr came to our daughters junior skool many years ago.
Oh do you like my new hair cut?
12:44pm
Toby:
King's "Why We Should End the War in Vietnam" speech @ Riverside Church exactly a year before his assassination scared many on both sides of the aisle & beyond.
Toby - I haven't heard Caro weigh in on the film. I've also heard it's a seriously overblown controversy. Reminds me a bit of how Newsweek was promising that showing Do The Right Thing in theaters was irresponsible and would surely lead to riots.
I heard commentary to the effect the the "We Shall Overcome" speech by LBJ is underplayed in the movie some.
12:49pm
Toby:
I've also been a bit miffed by the controversy re: "Selma" not receiving more Oscar nods. Could it be that while important and certainly well-done, it's just not that great.
One of the few nice things that you can say about the Oscars is that an award given to a deserving film can generate a lot of interest, screen time, and viewers. Which makes it all the more of a shame when that opportunity is wasted.
Afternoon, Shaun!
Agreed on both Oscar counts, @Duke and @Artie. Seems like the Academy was more adventurous in the 70s, but it's pretty hit-and-miss now.
I am just starting a proofread on a book about the US drone program post-9/11. Around New Year's I proofed a book for the same publisher on the Mt. Zion church burning & the MS Three in Neshoba Cty. This month is costing me a lot of tooth enamel....
Lord. I follow a drone-related instagram account that posts aerial photos of the most recent drone strikes -- as these tend not to get noted in ANY Western press reports. Just as a way to chronicle what goes on...
