the last few minutes of the iconic movie "Being There"

I was living in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida when I saw this movie on the then-newfangled cable TV....I think I was 28 or so. As corny as it sounds, seeing it MANY times then changed my life towards a more expansive, self-accepting future as an artist/gardener. It is easily one of my top favorite half dozen movies due to the elements of positive enigma. All these years later I get goosebumps and tears when in that final moment he walks across the lake. Enjoy, John

a breathtaking video for 'Caribbean Blue'.....

I have deeply loved this song ever since it came out.....who knows the vast number of times I've played and savored it. So tonight I checked YouTube to see if there had been a video for it......BOY is there one!!!

I was enchanted, and deeply moved to tears by its beauty and eloquence, plus left brimming with admiration for those who dreamed of and then created it. To me, it has the subjective feel of a Van Gogh painting, plus the movies 'Photographing Fairies' and 'What Dreams May Come' with Robin Williams.

I hope it gives you the joy it brings me. John

a very risque video of 'Relax" I stumbled on

I like the dark, Roman Empire decadence, homoerotic feel of this over-the-top performance by the original singer and band. It seems like something that David Lynch would have been inspired by. John

'Relax" live way back when

I did not realize that this remarkable, danceable, iconic song had ever been performed in such an intimate setting. For me, this is the archetypal "dance in your underwear while altered" techno-disco cut loose kind of song. Enjoy, John

One of my favorite scenes from one of my three favorite comedies....priceless!
