Off Topic The Arts Thread (Paintings, Music etc)

Dunno about art, but it's a tv interview, so why not? Never heard of the bloke but it seems he's some sort of NFL legend from the 60s. Quite a funny man.

 

Just a quick "Tico Tico" from that master of the Wersi Scala, David Dunlap:

 

Willie Nelson - "On The Road Again":

 

Just finished watching Das Boot. All three hours and twenty eight minutes of the director's cut.

Yesterday Oddy mentioned a spoof movie called Idiocracy. It's about a time 500 years from now, a time where stupidity rose to the top of the tree. It seems that the movie has touched off a lot of comment on where society might be heading. We look about us today and see a lot of truth in what the movie is on about, but can we really believe that this is where we'll end up? Is commercialism really going to see the human race reduced to utter idiocy? Nah, no chance.

The movie concept is all about fun, but it's built on a false premise. I'm not sure, but I think the director Mike Judge may also be the writer. What he's done is take a negative slant on today's society, then looked for the worst next step. He then kept working backwards until he ended up with something absurd. Thankfully the human being knows how to work toward the future. Of course we can well and truly shoot ourselves in the foot. Global warming and nuclear stock piles could still bring us undone, but the human race will keep getting more informed, it will not regress to the point shown in Idiocracy. It's a laugh though.

Everyone's heard Fats Domino and Dave Edmonds doing "I Hear You Knocking," but the first release of the song was by a gent named Overton Amos Lemons, better known as Smiley Lewis. 1955. It's a really cool effort, maybe the best version.

 

I've only just discovered Smiley about 10 minutes ago ... he's now my favourite singer. Crank it up.

The first release of "Blue Monday." 1954. Two years before Fats Domino had a crack at it.
