Nothing is Real. Yesterday and Today.
Even though footage from this funny Conan O' Brien sketch
was edited into a clip from the un-aired pilot (1979) of Orson Welles' talk show.
I still think Orson Welles (given an endless leash) would have been a glorious talk show host. Imagine the guests, the discussions and the grandeur . The doctored clip made the rounds of the internet a few months ago which of course caused a minor tremor of interest in the show that lasted about a day. I had visions of something that was part experimental art and the usual yadda-yadda (albeit retro yadda-yadda) of a typical talk show.
When the Fog of the Edited Unreality of 70s TV was blown away we were left with only the Muppets, Angie Dickinson and Burt Reynolds.
I Dig Cleveland, Ohio. Now and Yesterday.
A couple of months ago, I stopped myself from bidding on a matchbook that came from this wondrous eatery which was once located within a mile and some change from my pad. Please click on those postcards for a better look at the place.
I had no idea a little bit of exotica was couched in the beer belly of the Rust Belt.
