Distant Passage - Lizzy Mercier Descloux

Too sad for me to think about Lizzy's passing for more than the length of a song....I'm talking about the duration of the clever "Milk Sheik" for example. Miss you Lizzy, and thanks for the cool music - and trading me for your black & white jacket w/the red 'x' over the heart!

Berry Berenson Perkins

In the haste of my day, I forgot to pay tribute to Berry Berenson Perkins and her birthday on 14th April. She was an early heroine of mine after I read her interview with Tony Perkins in the November 1972 issue of Andy Warhol's Interview. [The entire piece with photographs by Berry can be read here.] Berry Berenson's cinematic resume gained my instant respect, notably in "Remember My Name," where she psychologically duked it out with Geraldine Chaplin. I'll write more later....for now, Namaste Berry (and Tony) Perkins.

Bush Tetras: Cowboys In Africa & Making a Mistake

Laura Kennedy Cyanotype

After listening to Barbara Klar read Adele Bertei's tribute/remembrance of LK last nite, which you can read here, I was reminded of two photographs - a cyanotype I did of Laura back in my Pratt days and a portrait that I'll post later. Still recovering from last evening. Powerful, man.xo

Laura Kennedy Memorial at Bowery Electric

Abundant electricity tonite when Bush Tetras played in Memoria to Laura. Video tomorrow. Stay tuned.xo

Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace (The 1st in a series of recalled movie mind trips)

The setting is Jack Rabbit Slim's. Yes. The dance contest rocks the bones. Now close your eyes. And remember Mia Wallace. Tarantino's camera slowed down as she walks through the haze of cigarette smoke to go "powder her nose." An anticipatory mind trip...

Joan Didion Dunne & Griffin Dunne-I'm still reeling

Tonight at Symphony Space was a gift/made me feel like I was high - or was it the adrenaline from watching JDD from fifth row center. She's our Dame (in every sense)...can't she be knighted/alighted. At least not taken for granted. Before "Magical Thinking" she was. Tragedy is the oddest card in the deck because it can shred and transform like you never could imagine. Thank you Joan Didi-Dunne for your tenacity, the courage of your life, and of course your art of the written word.  And Griffin...thank you for hanging out with your Aunt Joan tonight, and the documentary in progress.

Joan, PLEASE pick up that black pen (or continue to learn use of the tablet/computer) and keep writing!!! Mrs. Didion Dunne, you're needed.
