F1 - THE MOVIE. Only four days left folks. Go and take the young ones to Jurassic World, Superman or The Smurfs at The Pavilion, but see F1 here! After a full 11 shows over the weekend, I think I am qualified to make an editorial commentary on this one. Is this epic summertime blockbuster, produced by legendary 81 year old Jerry Bruckmister, perfect? No. In the same way that my 2002 film (released on DVD, so actually video) ONE PERFECT RACE, carried the message to triathletes that ‘Since there is no such thing as perfection, let us be pleased with our performance - when appropriate’, so too, does this timeless fable about ‘The Race’ and what it takes (especially for the veteran competitor) to be relevant at Formula One auto racing. From my ‘shit happens’ POV to Director John Kosinski’s ‘We need a miracle’ maguffin, all the elements are in place for drama, spectacle, the night of the dark soul, and the hero’s journey. Toss in Hans Zimmer and Javier Bardem to the Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon star-car, and whoa, buckle up boys and girls. Is the script tight? No. Is the screenplay deep and thought provoking? N2. Is it 2:36 of blazing, high-octane, turbo-charged excitement? Fuck yes it is. Tribal drums and fat Italian tires. Cool, all-good, Sonny Hayes would say.
EDDINGTON. Ari Aster as Darth Vader and Wes Anderson as Luke Filmmaker. The former a dark, bleak, a red-eyed ogre and the other a white (pastel) cloaked light-saber wielding savior of humanity. All of us who traversed the treacherous times of Covid, especially its early and ugly nightmare stage of 2020, can relate to the horror potential that payed out as an insane, corrupt and pathologically dishonest president tried to spin the epidemic as a liberal, Democratic construct. Fauci versus trump if you will. Veteran Aster thespian Jaquin Phoenix as the Sheriff and Pedro Pascal as the liberal mayor provide the fireworks and seemingly endless tension that all feels eerily familiar and altogether frightening. With Emma Stone, of Yorgos Lanthimos fame, as referee. Oh, my. And BTW, I was a fan of Beau. Midsommer and Hereditary.
GO FUND ME SEAT SALE. Is underway. Ask about it at the concessions counter or click here.
LIVE MUSIC. The Fall schedule is here!!!!! We are pleased to announce the five (with a sixth backstage and awaiting final OK) dynamite acts. Let’s take a cruise down genre lane with Folk-Rock Legends, a Blues based Power Trio, the Sounds of Santana, Bad Company and Lynyrd Skynyrd blasting from the 8-track of our rag-top ’65 Mustang.
LAUREL CANYON LEGACY on AUG 30
FRANCIS NASH on SEPT 20
BATUKA on OCT 25
SIX GUN REBELS & WHYSKEY CREEK on NOV 1
Should I tip the sixth? OK, do you remember the night of October 7, 2023? A sold-out evening of pure magic with Soul-Funk megastars The TRUE LOVES? We are a handshake away from a encore. Nuff said (for now).
All for today folks. I know it is hard celebrating, when so many others suffer, but try this; If you can’t change the bigger picture, the World, change your Industry, or your community, or your relationships, and lastly, should those all be a bridge too far, try changing yourself. Try moving outside your comfort zone, try adding some courage to the mix, try doing the right thing, try helping someone in need. Try love.
Thanks,
Kevin
