If you see a man running down the street with his penis flapping in the air you run with that man! You run with that man because something scary is coming the other way.
Jeremy Bernstein did a great job interviewing Kubrick. You learn so much through this interview. In this single interview you can probably find more on his life than in pretty much every other article, excluding the ones that directly quote from this said interview.
@@rebeccaparker3046 yeah I’m listening to it for the second or so time now. It’s great that this interview happened because not much of Kubrick himself really exists. At least not on the level of this interview
So naive on all sides...can you imagine hiring a bunch of beered-up motorcycle guys for your security who, back then, typically worked as longshoremen and similar types of blue-collar physical jobs to deal with spoiled, childlike, pacifist, drugged-out hippies? I get that Jagger didn't want police and official types working the security---but seriously, instead, letting his organization hire hard-bitten men with no behavioral boundaries that were well known in Cali to use heavy-duty stimulants to stay awake for work and riding and partying and then, paying them in "all you can drink" and expecting them to use conservative middle-class-brand judgment about keeping unruly fans and party kids in line without hurting them? Jagger's people should've consulted Hunter S. Thompson about the Hell's Angels and how well they responded to any kinda pressure from disrespectful humans... Huge knowledge and experience gap on all sides. Free concert for the City of San Francisco, with the most popular youth music acts on the planet. Add violent bar-fighting men, bad acid, a juvenile and pushing and entitled crowd, and a stage low and easily breached, and stir. What could possibly go wrong? Anything?
Kubrick’s works are of such a monumental nature that literally anything he’d hoped to make but didn’t (the Napoleon film in particular), it feels like a huge loss they weren’t made! This of course could be said of any great artist though. The Napoleon thing would almost definitely have been a truly great film, likely standing out even among his own films, because it was so deeply researched and so close to his heart. I believe it was one of his greatest interests and passions to make it and it would have been off the charts epic. Barry Lyndon was awesome though and of a similar genre.
I love that this is posted by someone using Dr Katz's son Ben as an avatar. That character is the patron saint of aiming low! (Jon Ronson & Dr Katz are both brilliant. )
It’s not a coincidence that the best artists were terrible at school. They did things their own way and that bothered the academics who would rather force their asinine beliefs onto others rather than foster and nurture their students’ creativity and individuality.
@@Ooth9999 Indeed - maybe the strongest conclusion we can reach is that there is little correlation between a renowned artist's performance in school and how well they do after school. It might also depend on the quality of the school as to how well they did. Also what level we're talking about. Because going to University is an entirely different experience (i.e. good) from how generally horrible high-school classes are. ...and of course there are exceptions to the high-school experience too, as mentioned by Kubrick himself, since he made a photo-essay of one of the high school teachers that he admired.
@@musicalBurr good points made. I’m just concerned that op has falllen into the aestheticised “tortured artist” trap which is largely fairytale. A lot of artists are very happy, highly functioning people who can operate very successfully within traditional societal constructs such as school, college the workplace etc.
I just saw that you haven’t gotten a reply. If you weren’t able to find out by other means, the song in question is the theme from the movie ‘Schindler’s List’, by John Williams.
It was the Airplane's idea to use Hell's Angels as security and The Stones okayed it. Then someone decided to pay them with beer. Then there was the whole venue of Altamont, the small stage, etc. Khrishna was looking over Woodstock. Kali oversaw Altamont.
lol Graham Lineham, rip bozo - between the divorce and transphobia or the fact he whines about Ronson to this day for not believing his dipshit ideology its so funny to hear him talk about how he understands love in the light of the fact he's such a heartless man
Actually, after Woodstock "freedom" became out-of-control, entitlement-mentalitied, anarchy. It was enlightening to hear the unedited Sonny Barger statement. I never knew about the motorcycles. You have to be OUT OF YOUR MIND to mess with a HA's bike! Big error in this report-Marty Balin did not get attacked on the stage. He went down into the crowd (you can see this in the movie) to try & help some guy who was getting beat up & got knocked out in the process. That "entitlement mentality" mainly ruined The Isle Of Wight festival the next year. Since Woodstock was free, some thought that the IOW should be free too, and tried to get in.
Long live Stefan Ponek, the DJ who hosted this program. Stefan passed in 2001 Stefan Paul Ponek Jr. September 14, 1939 - October 15, 2001 Stefan Ponek was born in Middlebury, Vermont to Stefan and Elizabeth Ponek, followed by his sister Susan twelve years later. Stefan was fascinated with radio and was broadcasting stacks of his grandmother's 78's out of her attic through a homemade transmitter by the time he was 13. During high school, Stefan operated a pirate radio station that he built and ran from his barn until an FCC representative arrived to close him down. But radio was in his blood. At the age of 16, Stefan escaped the small town of Bellows Falls, Vermont to wash dishes and work part time at a local radio station in Henrietta, Oklahoma. He served in the Air Force from 1957 to 1960, stationed in Biloxi, Mississippi. He also operated a radio station at a base in Pagwar, Ontario. In 1961 he attended the Leland Powers School in Boston and in 1962 he moved to San Jose to work with Philco, repairing military radar units at the Air Force base at Mt. Almaden. While newly married, Stefan attended college in Santa Barbara and worked at KMUZ in 1965. He was then hired by classical KSFR in San Francisco in 1967--the same year his son Seth was born. KSFR became KSAN under new management in 1968 and instituted a free-form progressive format, which has been later hailed as the nation's best. Stefan won the Billboard Magazine "FM Disc Jockey of the Year" award in 1971 while at KSAN. "When you have the best radio gig, making lots of money, and it still doesn't turn you on, where do you go?" Stefan asked. One place he found was the Delancey Street Foundation. Stefan was involved for several years, from 1971 to 1978.
Glad the bbc passed. Channel 4 is much better suited. There’s no way the bbc would let him piss off Noel Edmonds so much as he was one of their top stars at the time
