bob Dylan with James Baldwin

Idk but this means a lot for me .

[gonzobarbonzo]

What is Gonzo Garbonzo?

I mean it's pretty self- explanatory if you take a second to understand.

You can call me:

Gonzo, Bonzo, Garbonzo, Gary Greenbean, Larry Legume, and on the off chances you might catch my alter ego Chelsea Chickpea.

This isn't about beans, but beans cut through shit more than anything else naturally existing. I'm here to provide a literature colon cleanse.

Is Gonzo Journalism, Beatknick aspirations a thing of the past? or just for closeted queer men?

I don't know but I am here with a healthy dose of fiber to find out.

No stupidity or weaponized ignorance allowed on my page!!!!!!!!!

I've been meaning to make this post for a while so I'll feed you now; post canon/canon compliant Todd headcanons!!

He went to Columbia University and made friends!

Charlie went to Columbia as well because he wanted to get into the city and get far away from Welton and Vermont

Todd wrote plenty of successful poetry books but later in life he branched out and wrote a memoir

Todd has a mini library in his apartment, which has the works of Slyvia Plath, Five Centuries of Verse (I believe that's the title of the book in the dps meetings), James Baldwin, Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde, Emily Dickinson, William Shakespeare etc etc

He owns a copy of the script for A Midsummer Night's Dream in honour of Neil

He truly realised that his feelings for Neil were more than just platonic in his 20s. Although he gained more confidence in his senior year at Welton, when he moved to New York that's when he really started to work on himself, unpack feelings that had been buried, and grow as a writer and person in general. In this time, he wrote a letter for Neil even though he would never be able to read it, basically declaring his love and telling him how his life is going, and this was really healing for him

He attended lots of open mic poetry events and after publishing his first book, he gradually became popular as a poet in New York

He listened to Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas for some examples, and he danced to his records, sometimes with Charlie when he came over, and sometimes alone, each time was just as fun. Though especially when he was alone and a love song was playing, he shed some tears because he wished Neil could be with him

He did fall in love again, he did date, but there was a certain form of love he could only manage to feel for Neil, there was a certain depth to his love for Neil that he never found in anyone else

On Neil's birthday, all the poets come together to celebrate

Todd and Charlie became a lot closer after Neil's death and he first came out to Charlie and told him that he was in love with Neil, and still is. Charlie wasn't too suprised because he always saw that Todd and Neil had a special way with each other that none of the other poets had with each other, and Charlie silently picked up on Todd and Neil's feelings for each other but he would never mention it, only when Todd came out to him did they talk about it. That conversation lasted for hours. Charlie had came to have dinner at Todd's house and play card games. listen to records, dance and chat. And later into the night because Charlie ended up staying the night, they were having a deep conversation remembering their Welton days, talking about life, and then with the warm atmosphere where it felt like anything could be said, he told Charlie that he's always been in love with Neil and that was one of the reasons why his death had affected him so much because he felt soooo many different things so fucking deeply about him, one being romantic love. And how Neil helped him learn to love himself for all that he is and can be, and showed him how to love life and the arts. After maybe an hour of Todd spilling all these things out (he had only ever spilled it out on paper, never to another human being) Charlie and Todd had a long best friend cuddle <3

[scapegoated-if]

please do give us documentary recommendations, that sounds so fun (even if the content itself isnt necessarily fun, like about Ireland and the Troubles and etc). by far my favorite way to learn history is through video-formats, so, yes please, whatever resources you recommend sounds baller as hell

As you wish!

Imperative General Contexts from Documentaries:

The Queen

Poor Little Rich Girl

Paris is Burning

Town Bloody Hall

The Celluloid Closet

The Vietnam War (Extremely long and at times, greatly distressing)

The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975

I Am Not Your Negro

Abducted in Plain Sight

Conversations with a Killer: Ted Bundy Tapes

Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields

This is the Zodiac Speaking

Books I've Read (Fiction and Non-Fiction) That Have Been Insightful:

I'm With The Band (Pamela Des Barres)

Howl and Other Poems (Allen Ginsberg)

Slouching Towards Bethlehem (Most of Joan Didion really)

Slow Days, Fast Company (Eve Babitz)

The Girls (by Emma Cline)

The Fire Next Time (James Baldwin)

Junky (William S. Burroughs)

In Watermelon Sugar (Richard Brautigan)

George Harrison on George Harrison (Ashley Kahn)

The list proceeds to get long with music documentary recommendations... I'm warning you now.

In terms of music...

For real life icons, documentaries I've seen that have aided my knowledge while shaping my portrayal of them respectively are:

Shake! Otis at Monterey

Jimi Plays Monterey

Fanny: The Right to Rock

Gimme Shelter

Eat the Document

The Andy Warhol Diaries

Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train a Comin'

Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg

Twiggy

No Direction Home: Bob Dylan

When You're Strange (This is about The Doors)

George Harrison: Living in the Material World (This is a 3 part doc, but it is directed by Martin Scorsese, so rest assured that is well done)

Chuck Berry - Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll

You've Got A Friend: The Carole King Story

Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars

Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice

In terms of '60s and '70s general music contexts...

Documentaries:

Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)

Disco Demolition: The Real Story

Woodstock (The General Concert Film)

The Last Waltz

Beatles '64

Groupies

The Disappearance of Shere Hite

Laurel Canyon

Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation

Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold

Sound City

Interviews I've listened to:

Lost Notes: Groupies (Podcast - Click to listen in full on Youtube. It's so good!)

The Ultimate Collected Spoken Words 1967-1970 (Jim Morrison CD you can listen to on Streaming Platforms with loads of Interviews)

The Doors - The Lost Interview Tapes Featuring Jim Morrison - Volume One

Boston Garden Backstage Interview with Jimi Hendrix - Live 11/16/68

Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane and David Crosby Discuss Woodstock Festival - Link (This is my personal favourite)

Neil Young - The Lost Toronto Interview (November, 1968)

I can't think of anything else, but I'll update you if anything striking comes up. I have been meaning to see that new Led Zeppelin Doc "Becoming Led Zeppelin", so when I do, I'll let you know if it's worth the watch.

friends, enemies & the random internet strangers: i salute you all!

welcome to this little corner of the world wide web - my name is dersu (not my real name but sounds cool as hell) and im gonna be your host while youre here, so you may want to know a little bit about me

i love listening to music, reading books, and watching movies (like many of you! what a coincidence, am i right?) i enjoy a wide variety of stuff (don't we all?) but here's a selection of some of my favourites:

music: savages, elliott smith, manic street preachers, anything with elizabeth fraser on it, lorde, mitski, anna calvi, bob dylan, st. vincent, patti smith, david bowie, metric, tom waits, suzanne vega, sigur ros, suede, garbage, bjork, talking heads, sharon van etten books: alice oseman & james baldwin are my favourite authors - id read the user guide for the coffee machine if it was written by one of these two all kinds of poetry - sharon olds, wh auden, mary oliver, frank ohara, emily dickinson, ts eliot, nikki giovanni to name a few of my favourite poets scifi/fantasy/magical realism - anything, really, that brings some change to the reality that we live in, however little it may be movies: ok im getting a bit tired so ill just put my letterboxd top 4 in here, hope you dont mind --- perfect days (2023) lady bird (2017) eternal sunshine of a spotless mind (2004) portrait of a lady on fire (2019)

i like finding unexpected funny and unlikely connections between people and/or things - one of the things i want to use this blog for is to get to share some of these with you so that all of it may feel less insane to me

also forgot to mention, my favourite series is twin peaks & oh. how. i. just. adore. that. show.

again, im getting a bit tired and also running out of things to say, so guess this will be it for this time. i dont really have any plans for this blog - i think ill just post random things whenever i feel like it - may it be fun for us all!

lowkey i want to change my profile pic but also james baldwin and bob dylan hanging out is forever...

[listedbuilding]

4, 6, 17? :)

already answered 4 but here are 6 and 17 :D

6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?

there are so many i'm sorry to say... i was so good with keeping up with the amount of books i wanted to read this year until these past few months, when i got busy and distracted and didn't have enough time!! most notably i really wanted to get to how can i keep from singing by david king dunaway, another country by james baldwin, and some more of anthony bourdain's lesser known books, but there's always next year :-)

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

i picked up positively fourth street by david hajdu randomly at the library, which was a biography on joan baez, mimi and richard farina, and bob dylan, and it was so so good. i read it in just a few days, and as a lover of biographies i really adored the style it was written in, it felt like it was at the perfect level between being overly dramatized or overly clinical in its informativeness. there were a lot of direct interview quotes used, and everything felt substantially backed up, but at the same time it still had a really engaging narrative feel to it and it made me so emotional..

[trolledu]

James Baldwin seemed far less talkative in these photos than Bob Dylan, who only gave the impression that he liked to jibber jabber, although he did have the gift of the gab, didn't he.
