Ciao lovelies,
I am drinking a bit of the blood and bleeding a bit of the luminous ink in this
here fine hour of the evening.
I am posting this as I watch the video of the Isle of Wight festival.
This 1970 fest was the biggest – and last – of its kind. Wight had all the hippy drapery of Woodstock as well as most of the bad vibes of Altamont.
Except for that whole stab-you-to-death part…
This show had a killer line-up including: Miles Davis, Joni, Jimi, The Doors and Leonard Cohen, Jethro Tull and others.
The vid is OK, but its hard to watch the hippy dream go down in flames.
What’s so funny about peace, love and understanding?
On another note, I have been experimenting with my cell phone camera. I got frustrated when I found it hard to take a single pic. My cam always takes two at a time. I realized I was getting some fun effects when the cam moved between shots. Then I realized that I could take these shots and arrange them into a kind of stop-action movie.
Here is a video I made for my song “Mission”.
Please take the time to check out my other vids, the archives of The Sleepless Film Festival, and more at my new You Tube channel:
Listen to “Mission” and the rest of my new CD – Blue Turns Black!
Love,
Joe Nolan
