Kirby Stan
If you had the chance to travel back in time to see an auther,song writer,or an idea when it was first thougt?
If you could look over the shoulders of any author or songwriter in history while they wrote their best work who and what play, novel, song,or idea would it be. some examples are; Shakespeare picking up the pen to write “Romeo and Juliet” (play underlined), or watching the whole process of stan lee creating the whole marvel world and all the ideas (kirby helped), watching the original Mono lisa being painted from the first stroke to when it was finish, watching the beatles form, michael jackson first perform the moonwalk, jimi hendrix first pick up the guitar or finally watching someone saying “lets give this woman oprah winfrey her own show”?
I would like to have been “on the bus” with Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, meeting Larry McMurtry and Tom Wolfe along the way, and On The Road with Kerouac. I should have been a Deadhead too. I’d have never made a “superstar” but I’d have liked to party at Warhol’s Factory. Stopped into Max’s Kansas City, CBGB’s, hopped the pond and stolen ugly clothes from Malcolm McLaren while sneering at Sid Vicious. Definitely would want to have rocked the first Clash show. I’d kill to have been in the bar the night Gram Parsons met Emmylou Harris, and I’d like to have been among those who stole his body and tried to cremate him in the desert. I wouldn’t have minded a night in a cell with Johnny Cash on a D&D, for picking flowers, naturally! I’d like to have been around while The Rolling Stones recorded Exile On Main Street. I wish I’d grown up next door to Neil Young. Taken Norah Jones to her first piano lesson. Gone to school with Bret Easton Ellis. Mowed John Kennedy Toole’s mother’s lawn, since you know he wasn’t doing it. Sat next to Steinbeck on a cross country ride, mixed innumerable drinks for Hemingway. I’d be Salinger’s housekeeper or shine Vonnegut’s shoes, if so required.
I could ramble on forever which would be silly because I have strayed far from your original premise. It was fun though, thanks for asking.

Stuart Little [VHS] $1.25 This live-action version of E.B. White’s novel doesn’t have quite the magic of, say, Toy Story. Instead of entertainment the whole family can be enthralled with, Stuart Little is squarely aimed, and successfully so, at the 4- to 10-year-old watcher. Does this make it a bad family film? Not in the slightest. The gee-whiz visual effects (created by original Star Wars wizard John Dykstra) and the fil… |
