The actual video clip is at the link, obviously; sorry there's no YouTube yet, but trust me -- you've got to see this.
I should add that the flick itself recently premiered at the Telluride Festival; needless to say we'll keep you posted.

Why, the man doesn't look a day over 2000!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Automat.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was magnificent. How is he still able to reach the high notes!?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a wee one, there was still a couple of automats in Manhattan. Pretty sure we went to one on at least one of our trips to "the City" (that's what people in the burbs called Manhattan -- just "the City"). It was magical to me at that age - put money in a slot and take food out of the wall!
Automats and cafeterias loom large in Kerouac's early works too, for whatever it's worth. It was a place of rendezvous, both friendly and clandestine, a place where a lonely person with nowhere to go could nurse a cup of coffee for hours, and bums could get out of the cold.
