| Favorite Movies | Kinetic energy meets the human spirit. The seductiveness of individualism, combined with the baring of soul, creates filmic history that lasts forever. Marlon Brando in "Viva Zapata." Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Gospel According to Matthew." Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis and Brad Pitt in "Thelma and Louise" – the spirit of the land meets the power of feminine longing. War-weary romanticism and the melancholia of loss in Graham Greene’s film-noir "The Third Man." Ditto “Casablanca.” Emotion beyond reason when the mother finally admits the loss of her child in Satyajit Ray’s “The World of Apu.” Kick-ass irreverence meets crises of faith in Quentin Tarantino’s “From Dusk ‘Til Dawn.” The undergrowth of subconsciousness - therein lies disturbance: "Deliverance." Poverty and narcissism combine with the glamorization of sexual gunplay in "Bonnie and Clyde."... |
| Favorite Music | Rock'n'roll as a spiritual force. Tejano and corrida Tex-Mex border music from the 1920s and 1930s. Polynesian choral harmonies that make you cry with longing. All music is spirit-filled, given that it is created by us, the people. The Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, The Texas Tornadoes. Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin. Los Lobos, Lydia Mendoza, Iry Le June. Solomon Burke, Wilson Pickett, Amadie Ardoin. I cried -- oh how I cried -- when Otis Redding went down, but oh the joy of my laughter when his spirit arose.... |
