Grace Slick, way back in the peak of Hippiedom, Woodstock 1969…proclaimed these words, before launching into a ‘set’ by the band, ‘Jefferson Airplane’…
Eat the fish….spit out the bone…..so to speak.
Returning to the original title, of this little vblog…
Was Woodstock ’69 the beginning of a NEW DAWN?
Fast forward to Woodstock ’99…new Genners…chips off the ole block from the Hippie movement…
Love and peace? Hardly!
Might have been a smidgeon better to have the Trammps do the final musical set, instead of Red Chili Peppers
‘Burn that mother down!”
I write THIS stuff, trying my BEST to gain a FOLLOWING…to possibly ‘catch a vision’ with the type of INDIE movies, I wish to produce…and my unique ‘sense of humor’.
Oh, and it’s NOT like it was just yesterday, that I’ve had this desire, this DREAM….that is, to write and produce, INDIE films.
Please, allow me to elaborate, for a few more moments of your time…to understand ‘Where I am coming from’.
I’ve spent some capital…on both WRITING and SCREENWRITING courses over the last few years, since my retirement from traditional ‘9 to 5’ jobs, not long ago.
The WRITING course…I got ‘booted’ out of, before ‘graduating’ and getting a ‘certificate’…
Yee Haw!!
I got ‘sick and tired’ of being ‘reprimanded’ (on my nickle) for writing the WAY I do, as I continue to do in my vblogs!!
I was chided (by the ‘Masters of writing’) with:
“Stop using (…….) ellipses….and (—–) and not writing complete paragraphs…”
Blah…Blah—Blah!!!
Then, I checked out some SCREENWRITING courses….
IT was a lot like this You Tube clip from the MARX BROTHERS
Get your ‘Tutsie Frusie’…you bet.
Vintage filmmaking…going on a century old now…
BUT I Say…. ——
STILL EXTREMELY RELEVANT TODAY!!
Well, I’m gonna ‘wrap it up’ on that note, for now.
I need to be SHOWING more videos…short ones, whatever, on my upcoming vblogs…
I SEE the need…
One reason, I am now looking to EXPAND my web presence, utilizing You Tube, along with TIK TOK, and possibly, others…
Been investigating TIK TOK….taking a personal crash course, on HOW to USE that APP.
I’ve even checked out the ‘competition’ with PAID CREATORS on the APP…
I’m writing up little ‘skits’ I can produce…easily, virtually at NO COST…to myself.
Andy Warhol once commented: “Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes”.
Used to be…BUT not anymore!
Now…the right person…in a mere…30 seconds….1 minute….a tad longer than those time frames, can go VIRAL
And, the array of Music clips which are available! They cover ALL kinds of genres…which I have been ‘panning through’…culling through, for clips I could use.
May just PROVE more valuable than playing “CRYPTO”s or even panning for gold (as I alluded to in my previous vblog).
More ‘pointers’ for any aspiring INDIE film writers, OUT THERE…in upcoming issues.
SPREAD the WORD. It’s a NEW DAWN, all right!
Thanks for reading.
