It was very sad to hear about Bea Arthur’s passing today even though I’m certain it was a big relief for her. In honor of her remarkable career I thought I would post this hilarious scene from Maude because most people my age only know her as a Golden Girl.
My great love for this film inspired my addition of sound clips to the Gabriel & Dresden remix of the theme by Gustavo Santaolalla soon after it was released. In fact, when I completed the project it was featured here on Hazzard Ahead before we had the radio feature. A few days ago the track came on in my car and as usual the clips from the film conjured images in my head and it struck me that I should whip up a video to go along with. So I did. And here it is.
Today I’m heading up to Utah for a Valentine’s event and I just couldn’t leave without saying something, ANYthing on the blog since I’ve been so negligent lately. Sometimes you just fall out of the groove, you know? I was thinking about religion last night and how religious people kind of get a bad rap from all of the fanatics, but then I realized an entry about that would be a major endeavor so another Friday the 13th blog op was missed. And of course I have fuck all to say about love, which means a Valentine entry is out of the question. Don’t even get me started on this “holiday” or I’ll never make my plane. Let me just say in shorthand, “Why do we NEED a day to do things for those we love?”
Then it hit me! I have a fun little video we made just for kicks and I can use it to overshadow the fact that I don’t want to write a fucking thing! They will love it and I can ease my guilt for being such a rotten host! You see how that works?
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the kitchen again…
