A FILM TO CHECK OUT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!
ALONG WITH GBH, DIDN'T THESE BANDS INSPIRE AMERICAN HARDCORE?!?!....GBH FORMED IN 79...TWO BANDS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE FILM AMERICAN HARDCORE......DIDN'T THE WEST COAST FOLLOW THE EAST COAST?!?!.....SOMEONE TRYIN TO RE WRITE HISTORY?..LOL.......PITY, A GOOD FILM OTHERWISE!XXXIn the 1970’s, a group of teen surfers from a rough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, California, created a cultural revolution by transforming skateboarding from a recreational activity into an extreme sport.When a shipment of urethane wheels arrives at Santa Monica's Zephyr Surf Shop, the owner, Skip Engblom, played by Heath Ledger, puts together a team of local layabouts to test his new invention.Known as the Zephyr Skateboard Team, the boys transferred their surf skills to drain pipes and empty swimming pools with stunning results. Their acrobatic manoeuvres inspired generations of teens and catapulted them to fame and fortune.
The movie follows the character developments of Stacy, Jay and Tony as they negotiate the benefits and pitfalls of superstardom.
Great soundtrack too, Budgie, Rod Stewart, Ted Nugent, T-Rex and more....Sam Dunn (Had Sam on the programme (2006)is a 30-year old anthropologist who wrote his graduate thesis on the plight of Guatemalan refugees. Recenly he has decided to study the plight of a different culture, one he has been a part of since he was a 12-year old: the culture of heavy metal. Sam sets out on a global journey to find out why this music has been consistently stereotyped, dismissed and condemned and yet is loved so passionately by its millions of fans. Along the way, Sam explores metals' obsession with some of life's most provacative subjects - sexuality, religion, violence and death - and discovers some things about the culture that even he can't defend. Shot on location in the UK, Germany, Norway, Canada and the US, this documentary is the first of its kind. It is both a defense of a long-misunderstood art form and a window for the outsider into the spectacle that is heavy metal. Written by Scot McFadyen.....currently making a new film showing that in our music scene we can be united whatever religous or spiritual belief........Should be one called Anne Maria's journey lol!
Don't have much time to watch but like some sitcoms (fave being The Mighty Boosh), catch the occasional film,documentaries
Autobioraphies, anything real, historic, scientific, cultural and spiritual April 06, My cousin came to visit and handed me a book (she's 59/60 now!), written by a great, great uncle in the 1800's...a relative who was a preacher it seems and travelled America and Australia......Some interesting facts which are still true of today, Gypsies are NOT all the same, knew that anyway! In the UK you have pikes, tinkers, new age travellers, fairground people... and then your TRUE ENGLISH ROMANY...We are tarred with the same brush but we are not the same!!!!....We don't believe in reading palms, we don't rob banks etc, they have pilfered in the past and sometimes today but only a few apples or potatoes to live on!....We originated from Israel, a lost race, hence thick dark hair, prominent noses (I could go on)....we love music too! Some spent a few hundred years on the plains of India before spreading out but we headed West!....The Nazi's knew this and that's why they gassed the gypsies and the jews...it's an interesting read really, and helped to answer alot of questions... treated like dirt, buried in pits and unmarked graves and only at night back in the 1800's, no romany was allowed to buried in the day in church yards ....but one time prime minister David Lloyd George said 'If ever I found myself in the wilds of Australia where no one had heard of a British Politcian. I would knock on the door of the nearest squatters or miners hut and say 'I am an old friend of gypsy Smith'...book is available on Ambassador....And you don't have to be on the road either, it's bloodline and you a brought up knowing how to survive in hard times, manners, morals,self respect, even their own language!Falling in with older hippy/bikers from the age of 10, my mother trusted them (open minded herself...and an angel!) and both camps encouraged Art, Music, Enviromental knowledge etc.etc....caring, honest, genuine people...but they were different days! HERE ARE TWO 'FICTION' BOOKS WHICH WERE VERY WELL WRITTEN AND HELD ATTENTION, THE CELESTINE PROPHECY BY JAMES REDFIELD...IS A STORY OF 'COINCIDENCES'..YOU KNOW HOW YOU LOOK BACK IN HINDSIGHT AND SAY 'THAT'S WHY THAT HAPPENED' IT'S ALL VERY FATEFUL, AND SPIRITUAL....SOMETIMES YOU FEEL THERE ARE ARE OTHER SCOURCES AT WORK!YOU ARE ON A PATH IN LIFE! BILLE MORGAN, WRITTEN BY JOOLZ DENBY FREAKED ME OUT....SOME OF IT SEEMED FAMILIAR HERE AND THERE!BILLIE IS 46...LIVES WITH HER CATS...TRYING TO LIVE A QUIET LIFE, LOVES ART, BOB DYLAN, CURVED AIR....HAWKWIND'S SILVERMACHINE, PUNK AND GOTH GETS A MENTION TOO!!!!!!!!!!THE LIST IS ENDLESS!!!IT WAS THE END OF THE 60'S AND THE 70'S... GOOD BIKER CHICK STORY THOUGH! ANOTHER BOOK WHICH HAS HAD RAVE REVIEWS AND GETS A THUMBS UP!!... (another painting!done 76!)
