I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Ten minutes from the Beatles’ last live performance, on the rooftop of Apple Records in 1969. It was riveting at the time (in the movie Let It Be) but add 40 years — FORTY YEARS! — of nostalgia and it almost brings tears to your eyes.

The clip includes Get Back, Don’t Let Me Down, I’ve Got a Feeling and something else quintessentially British: a cast of dour and bemused onlookers ;=)

Walton Ford, The Orientalist, 1999

‘I have an ongoing project that has to do with Sir Richard Burton, the nineteenth-century explorer. One of the stories that stuck with me was about monkeys that he kept in his quarters when he was a young officer…The thing about this monkey picture is Richard Burton is keeping forty monkeys in his quarters when he’s a young officer to learn their language. There’s something just right away that strikes me as humorous in the quintessentially super-eccentric British way and their mode of building an empire which was carried out by these kinds of eccentrics.’

 

We have an interesting and intelligent young blogger here, too … Gidday Sarah

NO STORIES IN A TOURIST RESORT???

 

jscottgrand:

Back from a week in the Bahamas. As beautiful and idyllic as that part of the world can be, I’m still more inspired by that train wreck sitting alone at the end of the bar than by an orange moon over water. I’ll be posting two new stories over the weekend.

 

So you probably needed the “orange moon over water” as a rest from the interesting, and yet I bet something filters through from that too. Welcome back, Scott; will pounce on the new stories — Jude
