In The Chaos Household
Monday Night's TV
Started out watching 'Third Watch', and the pathetic football game on MNF.
Was gonna cry either way.
Tuesday's highlights seem to be the premiere of 'Smallville' on the WB, and
the conclusion of 'Lust Cruise' on Faux.
Anyone have any opinions?
Or reviews?
From bcE (9/25/01) But With A Picture!
"If You Ever Leave Me I'm Going With
You"
How I spent my Saturday, by Alex:
"...But the site was there. About 3-4 blocks was a huge pile of rubble. Six, seven or eight stories high in the
air laid the World Trade Center, with smoke still coming out, and with 2 cranes moving huge pieces of
concrete and metal. It was an unbelievable site, indescribable site, site that I will never forget. After that, I
headed to midtown to catch a shot that was closing on Sunday. "If You Ever Leave Me I'm Going With
You" was one of the unlucky shows that had to close early due to the tragic events. The show featured
Renee Taylor (of 'The Nanny' fame) and her husband of 36 years Joe Bologna".
It was a hilarious play, based on their marriage. After the show I was able to meet them outside,
get their autographs and even get a picture with them. One great thing I noticed lines for the TKTS booths
(half priced tickets) were huge, and that's a good sign for Broadway.
And that was my Saturday.

Backstage Pass-Less
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan wanted tighter security for his current tour, but he didn't expect to
be held up at the door before his own show because he didn't have a backstage pass.
Dylan, traveling in support of his new album ``Love and Theft,'' was set to play
the last Oregon stop on his tour Tuesday night when he had trouble getting
through a checkpoint at the Jackson County Exposition Center.
It wasn't clear whether the three security guards, all in their 30s, recognized
Dylan. ``If it was George Strait, they probably would have recognized him,''
said venue manager Chris Borovansky.
But even if they knew who Dylan was, the guards had strict orders from Dylan's
security director that no one - no one - was to get backstage without an
official credential.
``He said no exceptions,'' Borovansky said. ``Absolutely none.''
So when a slight, wild-haired man tried to walk through the checkpoint, the
guards stopped him. Dylan was surprised, and a brief scene ensued. One of the
guards put her hands up and gently stopped Dylan. After his security director
came over, incensed, both he and Dylan demanded that the guards be thrown out.
Borovansky complied, although he said, ``We prefer the term 'relocated.''' But
he said he later told the guards they did ``a great job.''

Carl Wilson Foundation Tribute
"A Family Affair"
Yet another stellar performance from Brian Wilson and his crew topped off an
encouraging three-hour tribute to his late brother Carl, the singer and
guitarist best known for an angelic voice and a steadying presence in the Beach
Boys throughout the act's turbulent run from the late '60s until his death in 1998.
As in years past, family dominated this year's outing -- sons, daughters and
even ex-wives alternated between Beach Boys songs and originals; it was up to
friends such as Timothy B. Schmit and Dewey Bunnell of America to provide the
Carl anecdotes that touched the heart. It was remarked upon from the stage how
the lineup reflected well on how Carl Wilson lived his life and the words rang
as true as several of the performances.
The late Carl Wilson's sons Jonah and Justyn established the foundation to
support cancer research and assist cancer victims. This year's recipients are
the Silver Lining Foundation, the City of Hope and the Lester Petrillo Fund for
musicians with cancer.
Harmonies, at which Carl specialized in the high end, were on display at every
turn at this concert, and the performances fashioned a decades-long throughline
in American pop. Were the performances broken down and reassembled
chronologically, a most striking collage of the blissfully mellow California
style of group singing could be assembled, running from the Backtracks'
a capella rendition of ``In My Room'' to Carnie and Wendy Wilson singing
``God Only Knows'' to Brian's ``Heroes and Villains'' to Chicago leader Robert
Lamm taking on the Chicago/Beach Boy hit from the mid-1970s, ``Wishing You Were
Here'' and finally, Schmit's smash with the Eagles' ``I Can't Tell You Why.''
Lamm also performed two tunes from the album ``Like a Brother,'' an album
recorded with Carl Wilson and America's Gerry Beckley in the mid-1990s and
finally released last year.
In Bloom, the band featuring the sons of the late Dennis and Carl Wilson, Jonah
and Justyn, performed, oddly enough, the song with the least amount of stylistic
debt to their family's legacy: ``Crazy 'Lil Mouse,'' a tune featured in the film
``Bandits.'' It does, however, have a great little guitar riff that runs between
Justyn's raps.
Brian Wilson ended the evening with a focused hourlong set that emphasized
chestnuts (``Desert Drive,'' ``Please Let Me Wonder,'' ``Surf's Up,''
``Marcela'') for the cult that follows his every move, saving the bigger hits
for the encore. Evening closed with all the performers gathered on Wilson's solo
hit ``Love and Mercy.''
Presented by the Carl Wilson Foundation. Brian Wilson and band, Carnie and Wendy
Wilson, America, the Honeys, In Bloom, Robert Lamm, Timothy B. Schmit,
Matt Jardine, David Marks, Backtrack. House band: Billy Hinsche, Jeff ``Skunk''
Baxter, Jeffrey Foskett, Gary Griffin, Bobby Figueroa, Scotty Bennett,
Todd Sickerman; emcee, Rick Martin.

'Rose Theatre'
Archeologists excavating the ruins of Shakespeare's Rose Theater in London said
Monday they may have discovered remains of the entire estate that surrounded the
16th-century playhouse.
The first remains of the theater -- where the English bard learned his craft and
where many of his early plays were performed -- were discovered in 1989 during
the construction of an office block.
Excavation resumed last month and revealed well preserved planks and posts
believed to have been part of the Little Rose estate, according to English
Heritage, which conducted the excavation.
The Rose, the center of London's theater from 1587 to 1605, is the only
Elizabethan theater left in the world of which there are substantial remains,
English Heritage said.
Campaigners said they were now trying to raise money for a full excavation of
the Rose after English Heritage spent $25,330 on the trial dig.
The Rose Theater Trust, set up to preserve the memory of the theater, has
launched a bid for funds with the National Lottery to turn the site into a Holy
Grail for Shakespeare fans.
The Rose served as the blueprint for London's Globe Theater, a reconstruction
Elizabethan open-air playhouse on the south bank of the Thames and the
brainchild of late U.S. actor-director Sam Wanamaker.
Apart from Shakespeare's works, the Rose also staged the plays of his contemporary,
Christopher Marlowe.

Mrs. Eastwood's New Job
"Candid Camera"
New ``Candid Camera'' co-host Dina Eastwood has some great ideas for stunts - some
of which involve her husband, Clint Eastwood.
``We're gonna put him to work somehow,'' she told AP Radio. ``We also want to
get my daughter involved. This is going to be a family affair.''
She said working on the PAX TV show is a perfect fit for her. Host Peter Funt,
who also lives in the Monterey Bay area, knew Eastwood's TV work before asking
her to join him.
``I said to Clint, 'What do you think about this?' and he said, 'Go for it,''' she said.
``It fits so beautifully into everything I would ever want to do for a job. I love
to work - I don't think it's fair to our daughter to work full-time if I don't
have to, if there's another provider in the household. So I've kind of been
begrudgingly not working.''

Goldie Hawn & Mark Twain
'Cosmic Entertainment'
Actress Goldie Hawn is producing a TV movie based on the Mark Twain novelette
``A Murder, a Mystery and a Marriage.''
Hawn's Cosmic Entertainment teamed up with Canadian producer Alliance Atlantis
to option the book from the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, which owns
the rights. The companies have yet to sell the picture to a U.S. broadcaster.
Penned in 1876, between ``Tom Sawyer'' and ``Huckleberry Finn,'' the novelette
was lost for years. W.W. Norton published it in hardcover last month. Set in the
fictional hollow of Deer Lick, the tale recounts the fortunes of a farmer who is
determined that his daughter marry the scion of the town's richest clan.
Hawn runs Cosmic with beau Kurt Russell nad her children Kate and Oliver Hudson.
She previously joined forces with Alliance Atalntis to produce the recent ABC
TV movie ``When Billie Beat Bobby,'' and the upcoming NBC film ``The
Matthew Shepard Story.''
