207 - Taking Drugs To Make Podcasts To Take Drugs To (Although You Never Can Tell) feat. Elicia McCoy

We dive into the widely heralded, earth-toned and Scorsese-helmed artifact of the mid-70s, The Last Waltz, with special guest Elicia McCoy. We discover extratexual tidbits, branch off into fractals of digression, share diverging and converging opinions alike, and generally have a hip and groovy time thinking about the Thankgiving Day 1976 vibes created by Marty's (yeah, we call him Marty, so what?) pioneering directorial efforts. The nature of art and commerce, uncanny links to Pulp Fiction, alternate timelines where John Hinckley Jr. pulls an assassination attempt on someone at the famed concert instead of upon Ronny Reagan, dueling guitars-qua-phalluses, the elusive nature of the guitar solo itself, the connection between touring and drug use, the special effects created to hide Neil Young's coke nostril, Thanksgiving dinner for 5,000 inebriated people, the grand unified meaning of the whole dang thang via ancient Heraclitean wisdom — it's all there, man.  Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrYSupport: patreon / buzzsproutNever Forget: standwithdanielhale.orgGeneral RecommendationsJosh's Recommendation: Fearless FreaksElicia's Recommendations: 1) Off the Charts: A Song-Poem Story 2) Find the hard-to-find documentary It’s Bigger Than Hip Hop and send it to her via the podcast 3)  Bathtubs Over Broadway Tim's Recommendation: Michael and UsFurther Reading, Viewing, ListeningYou Had to Be There (podcast) - The Last WaltzThe Making of The Last Waltz, the Band’s Concert-Film MasterpieceAmerican Boy: A Profile of Steven PrinceMore From Joshua Nomen-MutatioThe band he hits drums 'n' such with: Gorymurgy (links to just about everything) More specifically: Music videos, live show videos, etc.More From Timothy Robert BuechnerQ&T ARE@ROHDUTCHLocationless Locationsheatdeathpod.comEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Twitter: @heatdeathpodPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: [email protected] us Fan MailSupport the showSupport: patreon / buzzsprout
