"Wigger" is a spellbinding urban drama, which chronicles the life of a young, White, male (Brandon) who totally emulates and immerses himself in African American life and culture. Brandon is an aspiring R&B singer struggling to overcome the confines of a White racist, impoverished family headed by a neo-Nazi father who is absolutely appalled by his son's total identification with Black culture. Additionally, he is oft times reminded of his position of privilege by virtue of being White in a White, racist society despite his adamant efforts to transcend "Whiteness", institutionalized racism, and find a place for himself in a world in which he rejects Whiteness but is not always fully embraced by African American culture. Ultimately, this is the story of a young White, inner-city, male caught up in an emotional, psychological, experiential, and racial "Catch 22" determined to be granted acceptance in the life and culture with which he chooses to identify.
Keith Richards first solo tour, capably backed by a handpicked group of musicians such as drummer Steve Jordan, guitarist Waddy Wachtel, vocalist Sarah Dash and old Stones pal, saxophonist Bobby Keys. Set-list is made up mostly with tracks from Richards Talk Is Cheap LP with a few rare Stones numbers mixed in. Keith, as always, is the living embodiment of rock and roll and this show, released in 1991 on VHS and then 2002 on DVD, is a great document of the tour.
Our Guests at Heartland
Хотите посмотреть, как песни The Beatles исполняют совсем молоденькие Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Earth,Wind&Fire, Steve Martin, Paul Nicholas, Billy Preston и др., тогда Вам сюда! Это игровой фильм и даже есть какой то сюжет, но самое главное в нем, это песни Великой четверкии их исполнители. Фильм выпущен в 1978 году,так что он, конечно, не дотягивает до современного Across the Universe, но как исторический факт и попытка прикосновения к великому-тоже ничего. Приятного просмотра!
