For The Insurance Companies Who Kill Us If We're Not In The Budget
SKIP JAMES' WASHINGTON, DC HOSPITAL BLUES
Yes, I was a good man
But I'm's a po' man
You understand
In the hospital, now
In Washington D.C.
Ain't got nobody
To see about me
But I'm's a good man
But I'm's a po' man
You can understand
All the doctors
And nurses, too
They came and they asked me
'Who in the world are you?'
I says, I'm the good man
But I'm's a po' man
You can understand
The doctors and nurses
They shakin' their head
Said, 'Take this po' man
And put him to bed'
Because he's a good man
We know he's a po' man
We can understand
I didn't go hungry
I had a-plenty to eat
I had good treatment
And a place to sleep
Because I was a good man
They knew I was a po' man
They could understand
I met a little damsel
She promised me
That she would love me
And always be sweet
She found out I was a po' man
And I thought I was a good man
She couldn't understand, no
Now, when she left me
She got in the do'
She waved me, good-bye
I haven't seen her no mo'
She found out I was a good man
She knew I was a po' man
She couldn't understand
The doctors and nurses
They shakin' my hand
Say, 'You can go home now, Skip
You's a sound, well man'
Because you's a good man
You's a po' man
We can understand
I'd thankin' my doctor
And I was shakin' his hand
I'm gon' play these, 'Hospital Blues'
'Till you's a wealthy man'
You took me as a good man
You know'd I was a po' man
You could understand
You know'd I was a good man
But I'm's a po' man
You can understand!

Judy Henske's Unfortunate Leg Meat
The scene below from Hootenanny Hoot! features Judy Henske, the speculatively real-life Annie Hall (ew- bangin' Woody Allen..... ew, but then again, it may have never occurred) I absolutely hate this type of folk music and this ADD-style performance, full of squinched up feelin', is no exception. It is soaked in hyperdramtic oomph.
But the car crash I cannot look away from is Judy Henske's leg meat at 3:13. She's a fit girl, and everybody has both relaxed and tight musculo-skeletal states, but the way that one section of thigh starts flailing and wobbling - jiggling doesn't come close to describing it at all - becomes a thing of fascination, completely taking over the experience of the song. Yipe. And not the good kind of yipe. It runs wild, poking the eyes with it's thrashing, and one has to ask, didn't the continuity person, director, assistant director, editor or producer notice it? My brain screams "CUT TO CLOSEUP!! CUT TO CLOSEUP!!" but they don't and nature shows us - on film - in perpetuity how we all came from the liquidy sea......
Plus that hairdo.....

Buzzard sur croix
Like it wasn't spooky enough, when I was taking this picture, a young girl stopped her car and asked what i was doing. Like they were watching me and they sent her.
I said, "there's a buzzard on the cross - I'm taking a picture...." I figured it was better than waking up tied to a pillar in the church basement.

One Man's Obsession






Steven Hills Movie Title Pages. Just....endless, hundreds, assloads of movie title screens. Has to be seen to:
A: Be believed
B: Be appreciated
let's face it - this stuff is an impact making few seconds of any film (for instance, in my house we say, "Cartoon opening; good movie." - think about it - it's true) and Senor Hill has made it his mission, with just a hint of "WTF?!?"

Crayola WeeGee
Crayola has an online coloring page maker - so I thought why not do someting devilish with it? And while war photos and starving children might be the obvious cold hearted ironic choice, I went over to If Charlie Parker Etc. and helped myself to some of the fine WeeGee photos they have there and did the following coloring book pages (click for bigger, already !!):
This one's called Season's Greetings....

it came from this....

...and this one's called "Future Crime"

it came from this....

Trivia: WeeGee did special distortion effects for the Red Skelton pic The Yellow Cab Man !!

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN _ GET TA WOIK!

"Hi
Through a Google search we found some great images on your site www.glyphjockey.com and wondered about conditions of using images as outlined below.
Some of the images on your site would be perfect to illustrate aspects of working with people with brain injury. If we were to use it we would use it on a Power point slide and in handouts provided to participants attending our workshop.
Can you shed any light on whether we are able to use the images and what conditions there are on use.
Look forward to hearing from you
Regards"
Need I elucidate that when someone finally has a legitimate use for my images it's to help illustrate aspects of working with people with brain injuries? While I am happy to help, and kudos to these folks for choosing such a challenging field, the irony is not lost on me.
