MOMMA’S WORDS REOCCUR TO ME:

growing up in cleveland mississippi meant that leaky had access to the only grammy museum outside of la. but really it meant that leaky grew up with humble beginnings, in a one story house that was full of love, laughter, and inspiration. andre and adelaide wright had been high school sweethearts, with andre giving up his dreams of being a full-time musician when they found out adelaide was pregnant, to then instead be the town mechanic. she was a nurse, he a mechanic during the days and blues musician at night, and though life was hectic. it was good.

leaky was taught all the necessities by his father, piano, bass, basic mechanic skills. he wanted his son to be well-rounded and thrive in the world. to build him up. and, like every southern town, high school football became the heart of the wright household. and early on they discovered that leaky was talented. he was good, he had promise for the future. and that he had.

so between practices, gardening, picking on his younger siblings, jamming with his father, and everything else in between, leaky looked at the future with hope, with optimism. and it seemed promising.

junior year of high school, leaky committed to alabama for football, full-ride, tight-end. play time wasn’t promised for him as a freshman, but nick saban personally mentioned his name for future championships. and to make everything better, his best friend jackson and girlfriend iona were accepted their senior year. they had plans to make tuscaloosa their home.

SURRENDER TO THE GOOD LORD: (tw death)

his freshman year was exciting, and a bit overwhelming. the golden boy of the town lost his way, getting caught up in the culture of college and partying. jackson, iona, and him were having the time of their life. and sure leaky wasn’t playing as much as he wanted, but it was enough for the time being.

and then tragedy struck, beginning of second semester of his freshman year, the three of them had been out one night, leaky felt he was on top of the world. but soon it fell into darkness, he remembered sliding into the backseat of the car, pressing a sloppy kiss to iona’s neck, and the next thing he was waking up in the hospital receiving the worst news of his life. jackson and iona were dead.

and then things continued downhill, ogden had attempted to recruit leaky as well, and reached out with a new offer. full playing time, full ride, and a fresh start. leaky couldn’t turn it down. it might be kissing his chance of the nfl behind, but he couldn’t turn down the stellar education ogden was offering him.

so after finishing his freshman year, leaky moved to portsmouth, summer training and all, began his life at ogden, this time taking a side role in his life. no longer the big fish in a small pond like his life in mississippi, he found his place easily. but he doesn’t talk about his freshman year, he doesn’t visit home, and though he seems to be a vibrant and stellar young man, he holds his cards close to his chest.

AND HE’LL WIPE YOUR SLATE CLEAN:

leaky is enjoying ogden, two years in he’s making friends, a star player, doing what he can. and yet there’s a nagging guilt, of not going home when he knows his family misses him, of not visiting iona and jackson’s families, of moving on. but he can’t face it, not yet. maybe one day he’ll be able to return home.

in fact that was the original plan, after his education, to return to cleveland and continue to build up his beloved city. like his father, leaky let’s his passions stay that way, it’s easier to keep the creativity without the pressure of it all. and instead he chose environmental science, something he hopes to be an asset for his community. leaky grew up gardening with his mother, and shares a deep love for the environment, and figures this is the best way to move forward.

GREER:

the two were casual friends. he’d see her at parties, and at school events. it’s hard not to notice the golden girl, especially with how visual leaky is on campus, always involved with an event or being seen in the advertising for the school. they got along fine, having friendships that crossed-over. he never knew her really well, but he respected her enough and enjoyed her presence. whenever she needed help or had a favor, leaky was more than ready to aid a hand. though it never seemed the two got below a surface-level friendship (to those who witnessed them anyway).

THE TRUSTY SIDEKICK:

you need a wingman? leaky is your guy. he’s charming and pleasant and can talk anyone up. need a favor? leaky is there easily fulfilling it as if it’s nothing to him. the guy is a confidant, a hype-man, a volunteer, he can transform himself into whatever you need and it never seems to bother him. and despite being a gifted football player, and smart guy, and seemingly everywhere on campus, he doesn’t steal the spotlight. he’s not the one you think of when you think of ogden, he lets others take the popularity, the jealous looks, the whispers. despite always being there, you might sometimes overlook him, maybe because he’s always there. but he seems to be a good guy, always offering a kind smile and nod of his head on campus, willing to help tutor you in math, and then lets you have all the glory when you ace the test. it almost seems like leaky is making himself out to be the pedestal that everyone sits on. the support that uplifts the hero, and yet still disappears in the crowd, never seeking glory for himself.

extra:

previous tasks found here

he’s always wearing a jacket because he can’t stand the cold

he wears a gold chain that was given to him by iona, he never takes it off

junior year recap:

found a note/torn out paper seemingly about greer during the haunted house

got drunk for the first time in years at the new year's party - holds guilt for penny ending up dead

found a bloody glove when looking for firewood

g told him to find penny's file in the dean's office

broke in with link and took a picture of it - haven't told anyone else

g put nova and leaky together before the rave and gave nova hints about leaky

surprisingly didn't sustain any injuries during the fire

logan confronted him afterward about the text she received about him

stayed in town for the summer to work at a farm and garden, left a few times to visit sassa

#i once again have no clue what my muses did i should start taking notes #ogdenintro

On January the 14th 2006 Caterina will celebrate her 75th birthday and to the dismay of major European TV-stations and the print media, she has expressed the whish to keep this occasion absolutely private!īut with the publication of the never before released unedited-concert recording used for the famous Heidelberg TV Special including the restored video on DVD of the same special which premiered on CBS in 1969, fans and friends all over the world will once again be spellbound by the magic of this great entertainer! “Girltalk” her latest album of newly recorded material with harpist Catherine Michel was released to international critical acclaim in 2001. In 1986, her 50th anniversary in showbusiness was celebrated with a televised tribute entitled Bravo Caterina, and the Guiness Book of World Records recognized her as Europe’s most successful female recording artist, with over 1350 albums to her credit. Major awards from Italy, Germany (2 crosses of merit), France (officer of artistic education), Brazil, Japan as well as the USA (including a best female vocalist Grammy nomination) document her artistic and civil achievements throughout the years.īut she considers the 18 concerts sharing the stage of the Olympia in Paris with Michel Legrand in 1972 as well as the album VALENTE 86 with the Count Basie Orchestra and relative 1986 European Tour under the direction of, and with arrangements by Thad Jones, to be her artistic highlights. She starred in 12 European movie-musicals she dances (less exuberantly since undergoing two major hip operations) and is a virtuoso on the guitar, having strummed the instrument in an orchestra when only a teen-ager. The Grand Prix du Disque was her award in France for “Bimbombey” and she topped the charts in the US and the UK with the before mentioned “Malaguena” and “The Breeze and I”. In Italy romantic ballads like “Nessuno al mondo” and “Till” brought he gold records. She stormed the charts in Germany with “Ganz Paris träumt von der Liebe” and Tipitipitipso” becoming the queen of German Schlager.

AMARRA O VALENTE SERIES

In “The Entertainers” aired in 1964/65 she shared the bill with Carol Burnett, Dom DeLuise and Bob Newhart and was awarded the FAME Award as best vocalist on American television.įrom the mid fifties to the eighties German, Italian, Swiss and Austrian Television produced more than a dozen series of Valente-Shows and her guest spots over the globe are uncountable.Īmong others, she has performed with Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald, toured extensively in concert with Woody Herman, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Buddy Rich and has recorded with Sy Oliver, Claus Ogerman and Chet Baker just to name a few.īorn in Paris of Italian parents, once married to a German then to an Englishman Caterina Valente easily related to fans wherever she performed, particularly in Europe. Danny Kaye, Perry Como and Bing Crosby often featured her as well, along with other TV hosts. Las Vegas critics raved about the extraordinary talent of the young European vocalist who could sing in 12 languages and she soon found the spotlight on TV, at the Hollywood Palace and Dean Martin was so impressed he invited her on his TV show at least a dozen times. This was followed by the worldwide hit “The Breeze and I”. In 1955 Gordon MacRea presented her on the “Colgate Comedy Hour” as the “Malaguena” Girl. In 1954 Caterina Valente introduced herself to European audiences with her recordings of “Istanbul” and “I love Paris”. “A VOCAL SUPERSTAR IN ANY LANGUAGE!” The Los Angeles Times said it, and who are we to argue? Her conception, phrasing, and timbre are exceptional.” -Leonard Feather: The Encyclopedia of Jazz Is more a jazz singer than many artists so identified in the U.S.

The Usual Gang of Idiots

Published Wednesday, August 11, 2021

William M. Gaines, the publisher of MAD magazine, used to take the folks who worked for him on an annual trip to some exotic place. It was a way, he felt, to engender loyalty and productivity and to take a trip with a lot of funny people and then write it off as a business expense. The gent labelled #13 above probably advised him on this.

A lot of folks online have been trying to identify all the folks in this photo taken on one of those trips. As a public service, I sent it to my partner Sergio Aragonés and asked him to help out.

The online folks are theorizing this photo is from the 1960 trip, which was the first. 1960 was when Alfred E. Neuman made his first real bid at the presidency; ergo, the campaign poster and pins suggest that year. Well, maybe…but Sergio is also certain the man on the far left is Paul Coker, Jr. and Mr. Coker did not have work in MAD until 1961…so maybe this is '61 or '62 in spite of the poster and pins. It would have to be one of those three years since Sergio isn't in it. His first MAD trip was 1963 and he was a steady participant after that.

Bill Gaines later decreed that freelancers had to have contributed some specified number of pages to the magazine during the previous twelve months in order to qualify for each year's MAD trip but Sergio says that rule came along later. (The policy led to a great quip by longtime MAD writer Arnie Kogen when Gaines' mother died. Someone asked Arnie if he was going to the funeral and he said, "I can't. I don't have enough pages.")

If you look at the photo, you can see everyone is numbered. Here are his identifications…

Joe Orlando (Artist)

Frank Jacobs (Writer)

Jerry DeFuccio (Editorial Assistant)

Nick Meglin (Editorial Assistant)

Almost Certainly John Putnam (Art Director)

Maybe Larry Siegel (Writer)

Al Jaffee (Writer-Artist)

Unidentified

Paul Coker, Jr. (Artist)

Leonard Brenner (Production Manager)

Unidentified

Sidney Gwirtzman (Gaines' Accountant)

Unidentified

Al Feldstein (Editor)

Bob Clarke (Artist)

Dave Berg (Writer-Artist)

George Woodbridge (Artist)

Nancy Gaines (Gaines' Daughter)

William Gaines (Publisher)

Sergio is reasonably certain that one of the Unidentified men has to be Gaines' lawyer Marty Scheiman, who was credited for years in the masthead where it said, "Lawsuits: Martin J. Scheiman, Esq." Sergio is also reasonably certain that this photo does not contain any of the following people who were contributing to MAD at the time: Don Martin, Wallace Wood, Mort Drucker, Sy Reit, Gary Belkin, Frank Kelly Freas or Tom Koch. That is, unless one of them is the guy in the Alfred E. Neuman mask which seems highly unlikely.

It might or might not contain Larry Siegel, who was one of MAD's most prolific writers. MAD's photographer at the time was a gent named Lester Krauss so it's possible he took the picture. Or maybe someone else did and he's one of the Unidentifieds. Or maybe he isn't there at all. Who the hell knows?

Obviously, if anyone knows for sure what year this was or has corrections or additions, send 'em in. And hey, take another look at the photo. Doesn't it look like this is a bad, all-male road company of Guys and Dolls and Dave Berg is about to start singing "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat"?

Classmates

Gregory Lloyd Johnson, Class of 1975

From Crawford High, to global broadcast entrepreneur....... who knew?

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gregory Johnson.

Greg J is a well-known media marketing executive, event producer, radio broadcaster and global thinker. After serving in the United States Marine Corps as a weapons systems technician aboard the F-4 fighter aircraft, Greg’s professional broadcast career began to definitively form at national urban radio syndicator Bailey Broadcasting Services, headed by urban radio legend Lee Bailey. As Director of Sales and Marketing, he was the catalyst for the development of successful radio promotions and sales strategy for a line up of nationally syndicated programming including the highly acclaimed RadioScope. At 102.3 KJLH, a heritage radio station broadcasting in Los Angeles and owned by music icon Stevie Wonder, Greg served as the Marketing Director for over 20 years, creating, producing and executing a lineup of promotional strategies, campaigns and events. He built and produced a number of well-established music festivals which attracted tens of thousands of attendees in the Los Angeles community. (Of note, 4th of July Fireworks Extravaganza, Knotts Berry Farm Gospel Showcase, Taste of Soul, multiple music festivals commemorating the MLK holiday.

After leaving KJLH, (He)I connected with his partner who (he)I have(has) known for many years from her work as a business leader/influencer in the gospel music industry. Rhonda Love is a writer, filmmaker, marketer, and former Executive Assistant & Scheduler to the Mayor of Long Beach, Dr. Robert Garcia. We began to operate at DreamKreator Studio – our digital media space in the East Village Arts District of Long Beach, CA. Greg’s global reach is predicated on his mantra to build bridges of music arts and culture between Africa and America. To that end, he promotes travel and tourism to Africa, coordinating travel groups to the continent. He is the host and producer of AfroPop Radio, a podcast featuring contemporary African music; he imports his own line of coffee from Cameroon(Kalimba Song Coffee Company) and is a sought after speaker on subjects of African cultural exchange. Greg’s commitment to his community is underscored through his service on the Board of Directors for the West Angeles Community Development Corporation where he serves as Recording Secretary and the Arts Council for Long Beach where he serves as Treasurer. Further Greg has been named among the 100 most influential African Americans in LA four consecutive times.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?

Well, we are, at the foundation, a marketing and media communications company. Being new and independent comes with its own set of challenges. We have to constantly be about the work of letting people know who we are and what we do. We also have to lean into the adaptational use of digital devices by our core audience – meaning folk have to learn how to use the available technology and how to consume our content. Our core audience is the mature adult and the digital transformation moves quick and fast for them. Believe it or not, those are the easy challenges. COVID-19 has changed the entire paradigm of how we consume media so in a way that has been great for us in terms of listener/viewers discovering our content and then discovering how to use it in their daily lives. Safe at Home forces them to use the available technology and learn how to use it. So then we have to be mindful of what value do we bring to the masses? On the other hand, we are still slaves to the parameters that advertisers need in order to place buys with us. Again, we are independent so our corporate name isn’t as well known when contrast against says an IHeart or Radio One… Nonetheless, we relish in our independence and our ability to pivot and adapt to the new media landscape.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

The Hannibal Media Group strives to be a leader in digital media communications and Lifestyle Marketing. As such, we develop, create and promote a variety of digital media properties which are broadcast across tablets, mobile, streaming and podcast platforms, mobile apps and desktop computers. Our core programming target is the individual who enjoys the urban cultural lifestyle from a decidedly global perspective. We operate out of DreamKreator Studio, a small digital media production facility that I operate with my Partner Rhonda Love. It is from our small space in the East Village Arts District of Long Beach that we conceive, create and execute our brand of media. We are known for our well-documented expertise with music, arts, and events management. This experience provides a powerful backdrop to provide brand marketing solutions by integrating intimately into the lifestyle of the target consumer. While we are very community-minded, we are very intentional about our global outreach, we are dedicated to build a transatlantic bridge of music, arts and culture with the African Continent and the west through online broadcasts, feature films and documentaries, events A legacy of broadcast programming, marketing, advertising sales and promotions along with major events management anchors our reliability and experience.

Our track record illustrates exceptional discernment for new music trends and arts productions. We are most proud of our ability to produce major community festivals as evidenced with the City of Inglewood’s KingFest- an essential part of the City’s Martin Luther King Jr Festivities. This year, COVID-19 canceled our ability to gather together at parades and festivals so we linked with the City of Long Beach and a prominent business development organization known as Leadership Long Beach and created a virtual experience for the community. We had live music performances by Kenny Lattimore, Sy Smith, The Reel Band and Brownsuede. It was viewed by thousands and is still getting raves from across the world even though the 2021 holiday is over. We went on to produce virtual events for the Long Beach Branch NAACP and the Arts Council for Long Beach.

Our innovative brands include: Beach City Radio(www.beachcityradio.com) – our 24 hours online radio station. Beach City Radio is a global platform for the expression of soul, urban pop culture, culturally relevant news and conversation, and community inspiration through the art of music. Beach City Radio reflects the lifestyle of the adult global urban listener 25-49. The station broadcasts both music and talk. BEACH CITY RADIO broadcasts on the worldwide web 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our music format offers a diverse and relaxing soulful mix of adult contemporary music, classic hiphop, soulful house, soulful jazz and inspirational gospel. Additionally, the station actively seeks to present new and soulful music from the international diaspora. The core Beach City Radio listener is a mature, sophisticated, socially conscious individual. A progressive thought-leader who is self-determining, discerning, well-informed with a global consciousness.

Kalimba Song Coffee Company (www.kalimbasongcoffeecompany.com) – We import our own line of premium Cameroon Boyo coffee direct from farmers in the mountains of Cameroon West Africa. We are linked with a collaborative of 600 small farmers who pick the cherries, mill them and we facilitate the import to the US where they are roasted and sold direct to consumer.

AfroPop Radio (www.theafropopradio.com) – AfroPop Radio is a weekly exhibition of contemporary African Music. We have designed our playlists from charts on the African Continent, conversations with African Radio Personalities, African artists, tastemakers, influencers, record executives, television personalities and various industry pundits. We seek to build a bridge of music, arts and culture between Africa and the US. The podcast has grown exponentially as we explore the deep diaspora that is contemporary African Music. NOt only are we heard wherever you get your podcasts, we have been picked up in Washington DC on 96.3 DC Radio HD4 and dcradio.gov…

Coffee Conversations with Greg J (www.facebook.com/coffeeconversationswithgregj) – This is our twice-weekly, livestreamed mid morning talk show wherein we feature casual yet compelling conversations with influencers from around the globe tackling a variety of subjects. Past guests have included Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Trombonist Jeff Bradshaw, Broadcasters from all over the African Continent, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Ambassador Arikana Chihomboro-Quao, Former LAPD Chief Bernard Parks, Dr. Anthony Samad, and many more…

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?

Certainly, radio has changed right before our very eyes. Pre-COVID, it was already evolving to digital platforms and expressions. I was already cognizant of these changes and started the business with this at the center of my consciousness. But now, in quarantine, the broadcast paradigm shift has accelerated. Thus we are having to pivot, adapt and overcome the circumstances around us. Events, as an example, are not going to happen anytime soon as we know them. So we pivot into the digital space, creating unique experiences for consumers. I also see more culturally relevant podcasts being made available to the masses. Our podcast, AfroPop Radio has grown exponentially as people discover it because of the increased popularity of contemporary African Music. I see the ability for filmmakers to gain more distribution of their work through digital platforms. The day of waiting on the big studio to do whatever it is hey do are over.. The digital paradigm has created new opportunities for creatives. *Reposted article from VoyageLA, April 12, 2021. **Contact information can be found at the following link: http://voyagela.com/interview/community-highlights-meet-gregory-johnson-hannibal-media-group-dreamkreator-studio/?fbclid=IwAR05Cm-Kvs8IKhgWE8ign_83Gpx_TaqXUgq-vwMskeePoCl0s6gKVGaFbTI

Imatges de la revolució L'exposició ‘Insurreccions’ mostra com l'art ha reflectit rebel·lions i revoltes en els últims dos segle. ...L'exposició és una idea del filòsof i historiador de l'art Georges Didi-Huberman, que fa anys que imparteix un seminari amb el mateix títol a l'Escola d'Estudis Superiors en Ciències Socials (EHESS), a París. La mostra es va gestar entre els gasos lacrimògens de la plaça de la República, a la capital francesa, a tocar d'on viu Didi-Huberman. La primavera passada, mentre ultimava aquesta mostra, eclosionava allà el moviment Nuit Debout, que va ocupar places de tot França seguint el model del 15-M espanyol. No obstant això, l'exposició no és un acte de militància, ni a favor ni en contra d'aquestes petites revolucions, de les quals no n'examina la validesa ideològica. Se cenyeix a la funció de catàleg iconogràfic que resumeix el que tota revolta ha compartit fins ara. “No hi ha judici moral, no hi ha diagnòstic ni militància. El fet important en aquesta mostra és observar la representació que ha fet l'art i la forma de pensament que vehicula”, afirma Gili...

february 5 2021

As my first post it’s only fitting to explain how these things will go. I’m gonna write whatever I want about the music I like and share them with you all. I like all types of music I guess in many different languages.

Some of my favo(u)rite artists have included (in somewhat of a chronological order), Justin Bieber, Hannah Montana (yes she’s a real person xD), Selena Gomez, Exo, BTS, Dvicio, William Singe, Troye Sivan, Lay, Kris Wu, Halsey (k it’s starting to not be in chronological order haha), Shawn Mendes, Jonas Brothers, Rich Brian, Billie Eilish, Cheat Codes, Alan Walker, Ali Gatie, After Journey, SHY Martin, CNCO, Juice Wrld (rip), Jay Park, Vava, Gai, Tizzy T, X Lovers, keshi, Jackson Wang,........................and so many more.

BUT WHY AM I DOING THIS

Idk, I like music, I like writing.

How is this gonna work? Are you qualified to write about music?

nope.

I played instruments but I really have no qualifications to criticize music but that’s not what I’m here to do anyways so..........

I’m just gonna write about why I like the songs, which lyrics I like, etc.

Music is fun to listen to and matching music to moods/vibes is fun. I like listening to music with earphones or out loud in the car hehe.

Hope you all enjoy my comments and it can introduce everyone to some new music. I think music can almost transform you to another world for a brief 3-ish minutes, but it’s fun and you can listen again and again.

So just enjoy and hope this bring a little bit of joy in people’s lives!

luv yall

From The Naked City To The Outer Limits Via Route 66

We’re gonna back into this one, so have some patience.

We’ll get there.

I’m watching a lot of old TV shows on Amazon Prime.

Much to my delight, many (such as That Girl or The Prisoner,) are as fresh and as fun as when they first aired.

Others (looking at you, Andy Griffith Show) are better enjoyed as artifacts of their era.

A few (Perry Mason being the best example) actually take on a new resonance when seen with knowledge not available to audiences of that time.

I’m a huge fan of the original Outer Limits anthology series, with various episodes written by a wide variety of writers, including Harlan Ellison.

I’m also a huge fan of the Route 66 series, written primarily by Stirling Silliphant.

And while I remember the old Naked City show, I very rarely watched it when it originally aired, and don’t think I ever saw it in re-runs.

But when I learned Route 66 started out as a backdoor pilot (i.e., a TV pilot filmed as an episode of an existing show) Silliphant wrote for Naked City, naturally I needed to track down that episode.

“Four Sweet Corners” turned out as less of a pilot than a proof of concept: Two young men, drifters in modern America, travel from town to town in search of…something (even they don’t know what it is they’re really looking for, only that whatever they already found wasn’t it).

Inspired =koff!= by Jack Kerouac’s novel On The Road, the show was supposed to be called The Searchers and star George Maharis and Bob Morris.

(Despite being well done and well received, “Four Sweet Corners” didn’t sell The Searchers and Morris’ tragic death from a cerebral hemorrhage a year later seemed to permanently put the kibosh on the idea…until Chevrolet told CBS they’d be interested in sponsoring a TV show so long as it prominently featured their redesigned Corvette and CBS asked Silliphant “Have you got anything like that?” and Silliphant said “Suuuure…there are these two guys traveling around America, driving from town to town in a brand new Chevy Corvette…” and the next thing you know Route 66 is on the air with Martin Milner sharing driving duties with Maharis [when health issues forced Maharis to drop out of the series, Glenn Corbett joined Milner as his new traveling companion].)

“Four Sweet Corners” and “Merdian”, Naked City’s own pilot episode, impressed me enough to want to watch more episodes of the show, and when I learned TV Guide once ranked "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" as one of the 100 best TV episodes of all time, that one came next.

…and when I watched it, I was immediately struck with a sense of déjà vu.

The story is simple but effective: To protect the other, a father (James Dunn) and son (Robert Morse, in a characteristically theatrical yet also very dramatic and gripping performance) independently confess to murdering a night watchman (the real perp is Dustin Hoffman [!] in a proto-Ratso Rizzo role).

The episode opens with a nightmare sequence in which Morse suffers through a surreal re-creation of the crime, skulking about boxes and tables and machinery in a warehouse, climbing through windows, killing a watchman who -- when turned over -- is revealed as faceless, shooting cardboard cutouts of police by using his pointed finger as a literal gun that fires actual bullets…

…and I went, “Holy shamolley, this is Harlan Ellison’s ‘Demon With A Glass Hand’ from The Outer Limits!”

Now, I am most emphatically not saying Ellison lifted plot or characters or dialog for his script, but sunuvagun, the same visuals are there even if “Demon With A Glass Hand” uses them in an entirely different context.

"Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" first aired June 7, 1961.

Ellison at that time edited Rogue magazine in Chicago. Desperate to get out of a bad marriage and a bad career choice., he called in favors from friends in Hollywood and came to California in 1963 (his then wife, also wanting out of Chicago, came along and agreed to divorce him once they arrived).

In 1963 Ellison quickly sold a script to ///Ripcord///, the rights to one of his short stories to Route 66, landed a staff writer gig on Burke’s Law, and saw his Hollywood career off and running.

Always a great respecter of writing in any format or media, Ellison doubtlessly knew who Silliphant was and doubtlessly saw many shows he wrote. He tried cracking Route 66 with original ideas and, when those didn’t sell, adapted at least two of them into short stories that he placed elsewhere.

Never shy about reworking older material, Ellison derived his core concept for “Demon With A Glass Hand” from an unfinished novel he stalled out on. The novel called for a much broader canvas than the one Ellison pitched to The Outer Limits for “Demon With A Glass Hand”. He also melded into the episode references to his Earth vs. Kyba war cycle, four loosely related short stories he published in the 1950s (he later expanded on the series with collaborators).

“Demon With A Glass Hand” takes place almost entirely inside the legendary Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles. Directed by Byron Haskin, the special effects artist turned director most famous for the original War Of The Worlds, it’s an uncharacteristically moody and stylized piece, matching the nightmare sequence of "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street".

In fairness, Alex March, the director of "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street", isn’t a noted stylist either. A good journeyman TV director with a huge list of credits, his Naked City episodes are otherwise entirely consistent with his career.

"Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" was written by another capable journeyman, Sy Salkowitz. Like March, Salkowitz enjoyed a long and honorable career, albeit without anything that indicates a particular taste for the fantastic.

As noted above, the parallels between "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" and “Demon With A Glass Hand” are striking. Much of The Outler Limits episode takes place in the upper storage area of the Bradbury Building, a space almost indistinguishable from the warehouse featured in Naked City’s episode. One of the Kyba aliens, slain while hunting Robert Culp’s character, has no distinguishable features, same as the murdered watchman in "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street". Robert Morse uses his hand as a weapon, literally firing it as a gun, and Culp’s eponymous glass hand is a super-computer that guides him in his battle against his Kyba pursuers. The warehouse sequences in "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" are both literally and figuratively nightmarish whether they reflect Morse’s dream or replay the actual crime; the entirety of “Demon With A Glass hand” is filled with stark black an white photography, ominous shadows, bizarre angles and stagings.

Ellison is no longer with us to ask, but he was never the type to borrow / lift / reference / steal the work of another unless he obtained permission first.

I’m guessing he saw "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" in 1961 and liked it, but in chaos of the three years between seeing it and pitching to The Outer Limits the vivid details that originally attracted him slipped from his conscious mind.

When he pitched to The Outer Limits he sought to maximize his chances by crafting a dramatic story filled with “awe and mystery” that could be filmed economically on a small budget.

Once he literally locked his characters into a single location, he began pulling ideas in from all directions: His abandoned novel, his Earth vs. Kyba stories, even a few visual prompts from The Naked City that he probably no longer recalled watching.

Just as two composers using the same notes come up with wildly different melodies, so Ellison and the creators working on Naked City came up with two wholly different reasons for the same imagery.

They’re fascinating to watch in tandem, and thanks to the modern marvels of technology, now we can.

JACK BENNY’S 20th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

November 16, 1970

Produced by: Irving Fein, Stan Harris

Directed by: Stan Harris, Paul Heslin

Written by: Hal Goldman, Al Gordon, Hilliard Marks, Hugh Wedlock Jr.

Starring the Cast of “The Jack Benny Program”

Jack Benny (Himself) was a Beverly Hills neighbor of Lucille Ball’s and the two were off-screen friends. Benny appeared on “The Lucy Show” as Harry Tuttle (a Jack Benny doppelganger) in “Lucy and the Plumber” (TLS S3;E2), later did a voice over cameo as himself in “Lucy With George Burns” (TLS S5;E1), and played himself in “Lucy Gets Jack Benny’s Account” (TLS S6;E6). He was seen in four episodes of “Here’s Lucy.” Benny and Ball appeared on many TV variety and award shows together. He died in 1974, a few weeks after taping “An All-Star Party for Lucille Ball.”

Mary Livingstone (Herself) married Jack Benny in 1927 and the pair remained together until his death in 1974. Initially an actor who appeared on Benny’s radio and television programs, she retired from show business in 1958, at the same time as Gracie Allen, wife of George Burns. Her voice (lip synched by Lucy) was used in “Lucy and Jack Benny's Biography” (HL S3;E11). She died in 1983.

This is Livingstone's first appearance on her husband's television show in fifteen years.

Don Wilson (Announcer. Himself) was a portly man with a deep resonating voice that made him very popular with sponsors in the early days of radio. He teamed with Jack Benny on radio and when Benny made the move to television, Wilson made the move as well, until 1965, when “The Jack Benny Program” ended.

Dennis Day (Himself) was an Irish singer who’s name and career were synonymous with Jack Benny’s, working with the comedian on radio and TV. It was Benny who gave him his big break in 1939 and Benny who kept him employed as a singer and naive comic sidekick. His “Gee, Mr. Benny!” became a well-known catchphrase. Day would play second banana to the comedian until Benny’s death in 1974. Day played an elderly bachelor hunting on a 1967 episode of “The Lucy Show” (S6;E7). Day died at age 72 of Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Day's real-life wife, Peggy Almquist, and his ten children Tommy, Pat, Margaret, Eileen, Danny, Therese, Cathy, Mary Kate and twins Michael and Paul. The childrens' surname was McNulty, Day's birth name. None of the family are credited.

Eddie Anderson (Rochester) was Jack Benny’s valet and sidekick first on radio and then on television. He co-starred with Lucille Ball on “Stars in the Eye” (1952) and one other Jack Benny special in 1969.

Mel Blanc (Sy / Airport Voice) is best known as the voice of Bugs Bunny and other Warner Brothers characters, but had acted with Lucille Ball on radio and in the 1950 film The Fuller Brush Girl. He did some voice dubbing (ADR) on “Lucy Goes To The Air Force Academy: Part 2” (HL S2;E2) in 1969.

Frank Nelson (Ticket Clerk) is the only actor to play two recurring roles on “I Love Lucy”: Freddie Fillmore and Ralph Ramsey. He also appeared as six other characters. He appeared in the first of the "The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hours” as well as a 1963 episode of “The Lucy Show.”

Benny Rubin (Information Desk Clerk) played the snarky Hollywood Bus Driver in “The Tour” (ILL S4;E30). His first “Lucy Show” appearance was in “Lucy and the Runaway Butterfly” (S1;E29) and he was also seen in “Lucy and Viv Open a Restaurant” (S4;E20) in 1964.

Guest Stars

Lucille Ball (Janet, Benny's Maid) played all of the women in Jack Benny's life (including Mary Livingstone) on her own show in “Lucy and Jack Benny's Biography” (HL S3;E11) which aired just one week after this special. Benny paid tribute to Lucy on “An All-Star Party for Lucille Ball” (1974) just prior to his death.

Ball receives no screen credit but gets a verbal thank you from Benny at show's conclusion. Lucy has three lines and 30 seconds screen time!

Frank Sinatra (Himself) had appeared on “The Jack Benny Program” in 1951. Benny returned the favor by appearing on “The Frank Sinatra Show” that same year. Sinatra inadvertently appeared on “I Love Lucy” when a clip from his film Guys and Dolls was inserted into “Lucy and the Dummy” (ILL S5;E3) in 1955.

Sinatra is billed as 'Special Guest Star' in the opening credits.

Bob Hope (Himself) was born Lesley Townes Hope in England in 1903. During his extensive career in virtually all forms of media he received five honorary Academy Awards. In 1945 Desi Arnaz was the orchestra leader on Bob Hope’s radio show. Ball and Hope did four films together. He appeared as himself on the season 6 opener of “I Love Lucy.” He did a brief cameo in a 1964 episode of “The Lucy Show.” When Lucille Ball moved to NBC in 1980, Hope appeared on her welcome special. He died in 2003 at age 100.

Dinah Shore (Herself) was born Fannye Rose Shore in 1916. She was a singer, actress, and television personality, and the top-charting female vocalist of the 1940s. She rose to prominence as a recording artist during the Big Band era, but achieved even greater success a decade later, in television, mainly as hostess of a series of variety programs. She later changed her named to Dinah after her success with the song of the same name. She was famous for blowing a kiss to her audiences (“Mwah!”) at the end of each show. She appeared on “Here's Lucy” as herself in 1971. Her passions were golf, cooking, and painting. Shore died in 1994.

Dean Martin (Himself) was born Dino Paul Crocetti in Steubenville, Ohio, in 1917. He made his screen debut in a short playing a singer in Art Mooney’s band, but his first big screen role was 1949’s My Friend Irma with Jerry Lewis. This began a partnership that would be one of the most successful screen pairings in cinema history. Later, he also worked frequently members of “the Rat Pack”: Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford, and Sammy Davis Jr. His persona was that of a playboy, usually seen with a glass of booze and a cigarette. Martin and Lucille Ball appeared on many TV variety and award shows together and made the TV movie “Lucy Gets Lucky” in 1975. He played himself (and his stunt man double) on “The Lucy Show” on Valentine's Day 1966. He died on Christmas Day in 1995 at age 78.

Red Skelton (Western Union Messenger) was born Richard Skelton in 1913. He left school after the third grade to join a traveling medicine show and from there entered vaudeville. His first film was Having Wonderful Time in 1938, which is where he first met Lucille Ball. The pair went on to appear together in Du Barry Was a Lady (1943), Thousands Cheer (1943), Ziegfeld Follies (1945), and The Fuller Brush Girl (1950). Skelton played himself on “Lucy Goes To Alaska” (LDCH 1959). He did two episodes of “The Jack Benny Program” in 1956 and 1958. He died in 1997 at the age of 84.

George Burns (Voice of the Talking Telegram) was born Nathan Birnbaum in New York City in January 1896. He married Gracie Allen in 1926 and the two formed an act (Burns and Allen) that toured in vaudeville. They had their own hit show “The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show” first on radio then on CBS TV from 1950 to 1958, airing concurrently with “I Love Lucy.” He appeared as himself on “The Lucy Show” (S5;E1) in 1966 as well as doing a cameo on “Lucy and Jack Benny’s Biography” (HL S3;E11) in 1970. After Allen’s death in 1964, Burns reinvented himself as a solo act. In 1976 he won an Oscar for playing one of The Sunshine Boys. He was also known for playing the title role in Oh, God! (1978) and its 1984 sequel Oh, God! You Devil. Burns and Ball appeared on many TV variety and award shows together. He died at the age of 100.

Trained Penguins (courtesy of Sea World San Diego) formerly worked for Jack Benny in “Jack Benny's Birthday Special” (February 17, 1969).

TRIVIA

This is the last television show that reunited the entire cast of the Jack Benny radio show. Most of the cast made appearances on Jack Benny's television show as well.

Jack Benny had his own radio program since 1932. He brought the program to television (along with his radio regulars) on October 28, 1950. Jack remained thirty-nine-years-old, kept his money in his basement, and drove his old Maxwell car, just as he had done on radio. The television show ran until 1965. For the first five years, the show aired concurrently on radio and television. The TV program produced 931 episodes. It won an Emmy Award for best comedy show in 1961.

In October 1964, Lucille Ball was featured on a program where she played Mrs. Paul Revere. After the regular half hour show was canceled, Benny embarked on a series of bi-annual specials. Lucille Ball appeared on three of these specials.

This show was sponsored by Timex.

As always, Jack Benny's theme song is “Love in Bloom.”

In the subsequent special “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Jack Benny But Were Afraid to Ask” (March 10, 1971), Phil Harris thinks he's arrived in time for Benny's “20th Anniversary” show, but Benny tells him that it was four months ago.

Lucy, Benny, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, George Burns, and Red Skelton, all appeared in the patriotic TV special “Swing Out, Sweet Land” which aired two weeks after this special on November 29, 1970.

THE SHOW

Announcer Don Wilson introduces Jack Benny, live on stage. He gets sidetracked saying how ungrateful Benny is. Jack watches from the wings and finally comes on stage to rebuke Wilson.

Benny: “You were just supposed to introduce me!” Wilson: “Introduce yourself!” (He walks off)

After a few opening remarks about his years on television and radio, Benny introduces Dinah Shore, who was also a guest on his very first TV show in 1950. They reminisce about that show. Dinah sings “All of a Sudden My Heart Sings” by Harold J. Rome, Henri Laurent Herpin, and Jean-Marie Blanvillain.

Dean Martin knocks on Jack's dressing room door to wish him a happy anniversary and dance “The Anniversary Waltz” with him. They sing and dance out the door. The bit lasts less than 30 seconds.

After a commercial message from Timex, Red Skelton skips on dressed as a Western Union messenger to give Jack Benny a telegram. He makes Benny laugh when he says “I'm a dreamer, aren't I?” while holding his hand out for a tip. He is on screen / stage for less than a minute.

Skelton has delivered a talking telegram from George Burns, which instructs Jack to hold it up to his ear to hear the message.

Voice of George Burns: “Only an idiot would stand before 40 million people holding a telegram up to his ear.”

Benny has recruited Rochester to drive him to the airport for his trip to Mexico City.

Wondering about the departure time, he asks at the information booth, manned by Benny Rubin. Whatever Benny asks him, his answer is “I dunno.”

The ticket clerk is played by Frank Nelson, who greets him with his trademark “Yeeeeeeeeees?”

At the airport, Benny runs into Dennis Day, his wife Peggy, and their ten (!) children.

Rochester gives Benny's overweight luggage to a Mexican man (Mel Blanc) on the same flight.

In response to everything Benny asks, he says “si”. The man's name is “Sy”. He has a sister named “Sue.”

Blooper Alert! Despite this familiar old “si / Sy / Sue” routine, Benny mistakenly calls Rubin “Sue” then corrects himself saying “si” before Rubin chimes in “Sy”.

Benny hears hears a flight announcement that says his trip is delayed. Another voice comes on the public address system to say:

Voice (Mel Blanc): “Attention please. Attention! Plane leaving at gate five for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cucamonga!”

This is one of Mel Blanc's earliest routines from the Jack Benny radio show. Instead of a train station, here it is an airport.

Blanc's voice announces a flight for Alaska and three penguins come toddling toward the gate. These three penguins were also featured in “Jack Benny's Birthday Special” (February 17, 1969), which also starred Lucille Ball, Benny Rubin, Don Wilson, and Dennis Day.

Bob Hope does a monologue about Jack Benny. Benny joins him onstage and Hope sings “Thanks for the Memory” (his theme song) with special lyrics about Benny's age. In response, Benny sings a few bars of “Love in Bloom” (his theme song) with special lyrics about Hope.

A helicopter lands in the studio and Frank Sinatra steps out of it! Frank invites Benny to go to the movies after the show. The double feature is The Kissing Bandit (1948) and The Horn Blows at Midnight. The Kissing Bandit is a film starring Sinatra that he loathed. The Horn Blows at Midnight is widely considered Benny's worst film. Sinatra sings “I Get A Kick Out of You” by Cole Porter. Sinatra substitutes the alternate lyric “Some like the perfume from Spain” instead of “Some get a kick from cocaine.” However, instead of following with “I'm sure that if I took even one sniff” he sings “I'm sure that if I took one look.”

After a commercial, the scene is set in Jack Benny's home, where Mary Livingston picks up the telephone. It is Jack calling from the studio. He asks her to join him after the show for supper.

Mary calls her maid, Janet (Lucille Ball). Ball gets a huge round of applause from the studio audience.

Janet reveals that Mary's been on TV the whole time because Jack has hidden a camera behind a painting of Betsy Ross!

Back in the studio, Benny introduces film clips from his past 20 years. Stars include Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Ed Sullivan, Humphrey Bogart, Fred MacMurray, Kirk Douglas, Liberace, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Nat King Cole, Ginger Rogers, Charles Boyer, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, David Niven, Carol Burnett, Raymond Burr, Johnny Carson, Andy Williams, Rock Hudson, Dan Rowan, Dick Martin, Tom Smothers, Dick Smothers, Cary Grant, Billy Graham, Lawrence Welk, Dan Blocker, Robert Goulet, and Phyllis Diller.

Jack Benny thinks ahead to what the next twenty years will bring. Flash forward to Rochester with white hair and a cane answering the door to a bald Don Wilson and a stooped over Dennis Day. A creaky Bob 'Road-To-Medicare' Hope joins them, supporting himself with a walking stick. A gray-haired Dinah Shore comes through the door and blows everyone one of her famous kisses “Mwaah!” The kiss sends her reeling across the room. Jack skips down the stairs energetically, not having age one iota since 1970 and distributes scripts to his ancient co-stars. Even though Jack Benny died in 1974, only four years after this special, he will forever be only 39 on TV.

After the last commercial break, Jack takes a moment to thank his co-stars, and all of his viewers throughout the world. The camera pulls back to reveal an unfurled stack of computer printout and Benny starts reading the names of his viewers – alphabetically! “Mr. and Mrs. Tony Ames, Miss Terry Arco, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Aaron, Mrs. Andrew Aaronson...”

17, 19, 23 - Martin

17-- are you angry with anyone right now?

He raises his eyebrows in slight surprise. "No, I mean, I haven't been-- should I be angry with someone?"

19-- if you could change your name, would you? What would you change it to?

“I like my name. Martin Blackwood, it’s four syllables, very solid. And, well, you can’t shorten it to anything ridiculous-sounding. No one’s ever tried to call me Mart, or Tin, which I do appreciate. ...Although I don’t actually have a middle name? I think I’d enjoy having one. Something that starts with a K, so I could properly be ‘Martin K. Blackwood.’“

23-- who are five of your favorite bands/musical artists?

“I like to put on folk-sy music while I work, so I do listen to Bailen, and Hozier, and a group called Birdtalker. I also-- well, can you ever go wrong with ABBA? And then for the fifth one... oh, there’s a band called Sea Girls I’ve started listening to recently. Spotify recommended them.”
