Thank you for the response. I have another short film about Bacon's art I will publish in the near future. I am also a painter and I made these films in preparation for a copy of a Bacon painting I'm about to do. On my KZfaq channel I have done films about other artists and art. Among them a film about Francisco Goya, Black Square by Kazimir Malevich, Basquiat, and others.

@@littleghostfilms3012 you're welcome, sounds lovely. In my painting right now I sample art history, although bacon didn't make the cut.

The video was intended to be humorous.

Merci beaucoup!

Thanks for the view and comment. As regards any logic to the video, I would say that logic was not my main concern, if by that you mean some linear point A to point B flow. There is an artistic logic that can be discerned depending on how much you know of Debbie Harry, Basquiat, and the NY underground world. The first scene and the last scene are both from the underground film "The Foreigner" '78. The last scene in which Debbie's character Dee Trick (a nod to Marlene Dietrich) says "Got a cigarette blondie?" comes right before the clip of her singing the "Bilbao" song in the opening scene. In the film there is an internal artistic logic in which I show Debbie's early beginning in NJ with a quick view of early 1950's American culture. I proceeded in the film being inspired to jump around to show different and unusual aspects of Debbie's life in art. I wanted to surprise and make the viewer intrigued by what they were watching. I was also showing something of Debbie's connection with painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. There is also a 'logic' to the connection from photographer Weegee to Andy Warhol, who he photographed to Debbie Harry and Basquiat who became a dear friend of Warhol.

The shooter in Uvalde bought his guns legally right after he turned 18. He was a problem. And I can tell you that there are many other people who buy their guns legally and then later have a crisis, lose it, and then go on a shooting rampage. The problem isn't just illegal guns. It's legally bought guns in the hands of people who are unfit to have a gun. And further AR15s which are specifically designed for battle to kill as many people as possible quickly have no purpose in society. We all know this, So the thesis of your post makes no sense.

NEVER GIVE UP!

I set up my FB account. I found you on FB. Liz from Hastings? I posted a short comment. I hope I posted it correctly.

I remember vividly how emotionally overwhelmed I was when David passed on in '16. On VH1 they played all the videos he ever made, around 88 I think, and I DVR'ed them and watched them all in a week. This video was just a small slice of my admiration of his mind blowing artistry. And he was also considered by everyone he met as the nicest person imaginable. He was a Starman but not a 'Star' man. One of a kind!!!

@@littleghostfilms3012 he’s the only personality that I wept for when he died. We were only two months apart in age and in a strange way we lived parallel lives including drug use!!! I think it’s why I still enjoy music so much and why I still colour my hair vividly and wear it in different ways as he did. Like him I gave up all drugs and alcohol and although I believe he still smoked like a chimney,mi gave up 12 years ago in a eureka moment!!! Bowie will never die in my head or heart.

@@littleghostfilms3012 that’s a fabulous quote!!!! You list people who really interest me. Jodorowski is one of my favourite film makers. I have yet to see Holy Mountain!!!!

My ridiculous homage to that song. Her whole album from last year "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" I felt was the best record put out all last year! Every song gets it's hooks in me. I saw the video of Test Pattern. Great! It put me in mind of Einsturzende Neubaten or Laibach. Have you listened much to them? I've got a new video almost ready to upload. It's a Bowie tribute, but it's not quite finished. I'll probably put on my channel tomorrow. Thanks again for your responses!

@@littleghostfilms3012 love the video and look forward to your homage to Bowie.

@@littleghostfilms3012 did you mean Test Dept? You said Test pattern. You’re spot on to make the connection to Laibach !!!!!

@@lizbourn4192 Yes. I think I called them Test Pattern because I've been looking at a lot of stock footage of video graphics on the editing site i use for these films. I love Laibach. I like how they make use of the tropes of propaganda and militarism and subvert them to turn that stuff into an artistic project. Some misconstrue them as fascistic but that is incorrect. They play with the surfaces of fascism as a pastiche. My Bowie video is up. It's called 3 Ghosts.

@@littleghostfilms3012 test Dept are anarchists in the true definition as am I. They are very left wing politically and my friend who introduced me to Billy nomates is one of the musicians in the video that you watched, don’t know which one he is because it’s a very old video. Look at some more of their stuff. They are an “experience” rather than a concert touring band. Takes so much time and space to set up so that it’s really only a couple of nights in any one space like deserted rail depots. Anywhere unused. They’ve been around since the very early 80’s and they fascinate me. Will look at your new video in a minute.

Thanks for the comment. Pussy Riot is another outfit that doesn't just talk the talk. They put it all on the line and Nadya and Masha have done hard time in Russian prisons for their beliefs and still speak up to this day. By the way....there are far worse things than being a 74 year old woman with blue hair! Ciao!

@@littleghostfilms3012 I am truly interested in your work. Now I’m so OLD I can say that ive been around the changing music scene for a very long time - love film too. I do actually know what I’m talking about and if I don’t know, I’ll ask. Always willing to be educated. I love Pussy Riot and what they stand for. Where do you live? Navalny has just been refused leave to appeal. That’s no surprise.

@@lizbourn4192 Thank you for the interest in my films. I live in Reno, Nevada and just started making these little films last year at age 57. I am also a painter, film lover, have notebooks full of strange poetry, and an apartment filled with books and music from the 4 corners of the world and generally keep myself busy with all that stuff while living off of Unemploymennt Insurance until this Covid stuff diminishes enough to eventually go back to work like a 'normal' sort of person. Haha!

@@littleghostfilms3012 my instincts told me that you are interesting, my instincts are right!!!!!

@@lizbourn4192 I was thinking the other day about Sleaford Mods when you talked about them that you as a British person probably have a pretty keen understanding of a lot of the references to aspects of working class life and other cultural things that they convey in their songs. I understand a fair amount even as an American because I've been absorbing British culture, among others, since I was a kid from movies, music and books. From childhood I was obsessed over movies with actors like Albert Finney, Rita Tushingham, Oliver Reed, Helen Mirren, up through to Ray Winstone, Mike Leigh and Shane Meadow's films. And of course music culture. All those many bands, ska groups, the Jam, the Stranglers, Ian Dury, the Fall. So when I listen to S Mods I pick up on a lot but some stuff sails over my head. All that gritty street level lyrics. I go to a lyric site called Genuis Lyrics that is great! They have all S Mods lyrics and they have blue highlighted areas where you can go to a side field and get an explanation as to what the line means. Sometimes it's from the artist themselves or someone else telling you. I've gone to the site a lot when I listen to Jason's rant's. Anyway, again much appreciation to exchange missives and for your interest in the videos. I do them purely as an artistic expression and would do them still even if nobody responded but having some positive response is of course wonderfu! I'll continue putting more up and want to tell you that I've loved hearing your ideas!
