This footage was originally a
short film that appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, in 1963, I
believe. I digitized it, re-edited, applied some effects and added my
own composition "Redhead Tells The Sun."
"Redhead Tells The Sun"
was inspired by a psychic named Blair--our lives briefly,
passionately intersected a couple of years back while I was on the lam
in LA. Although skeptical of her powers at first, I came to
believe very quickly that I was dealing with someone who had a foot in
another dimension at all times.
She
often mused why I had "pulled" her into my existence. She believed I
had been close to some edge and she came to pull me back from it. I
think it
was the other way around.
I'll tell you this: if Blair told the Sun something, he'd listen.
In
any case, the music complements the other-worldliness of the
wild horses, the erotic power of the images, the flight from the abyss
and the engine of creation as represented by the fire.

Many years ago, at the dawn of my cafe-artist life, where I ceased
actually making music and began talking about it and art while exploring new dimensions of inebriation, my cafe-artist crew and I
were sitting around a going through pitcher
after pitcher of beer (we had yet to discover the efficiency of brandy,
gin, and whiskey) and there was a table full of art-school-fruityloops
at the next table, discussing something about ... i'm not sure, but I
would surmise modern dance ...
"The toe is
trivial!" blurted out a another certified cafe-artist in a shrill, nasally whine that cut through the din ...
I ridiculed then the remark, the sentiment, and even the anonymous
ass-clown who said it, and I do so again as I type these words almost
35 years later.
Berkeley is possibly the Cafe-Artist capital of
the world. I say possibly only because I've not spent any time in New
York, London, Paris, or any other boho-certified metropolis long enough
to determine. San Francisco has a new breed of cafe-artist: the Burners (a
derivation of Burning Man), but that is an essay for another day.
As
a result of my experiences in the cafe-artist world for many years, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie Art School
Confidential.

I was using the magic wand tool to clean up some of the foreground
image (the tree - see below) so that I could color-correct the lawn.
Suddenly, Jesus appeared on the screen.
Miracles still happen in this modern world of ours.
