Who is your S T A R? (star)
Before anyone says this should be in the world forum: No.
Anyway, they hinted at it in the first email, now they're straight up asking us to submit one. I almost started this thread before. In a fever from the single, i made my own list, then went extra and tried to come up with a phrase for each. That's where i ran outta steam and let it die in the notes, but now's the moment to lay them out. At a time where we know too much about everyone, who/what's a role model? when's the last time we asked ourselves that? who's pinged your cultural awareness in a noteworthy way? why is tom cruise in the original? i tried to follow the spirit of the lyrics: a mix of social activists, cultural presences, artistic inspirations/influences, news blip figures that stick out, philosophical leaders, and characters out of memory that bubble up as waypoints in our personal timelines. Mika Vainio - founder of Pan Sonic Jessa Crispin - author of "Why I'm Not A Feminist", on the de-fanging and assimilation of feminism, neutralizing it as a political weapon. Miguel Indurain - Tour de France winner on my first trip back to France since i left for the US Huey Newton - black socialist leader, assassinated at 28. Lucky Luke - read/watched the hell out of these when i moved to the US as a way to bridge the gap. Willem Spronsen - has done the most sensible option in directly attacking a modern concentration camp Tim Curry - explains itself Chris Ware - the sadman's author of prim and miserable graphic novels Pia Klemp - prosecuted for rescuing boatloads of refugees. refused a medal Iain Banks - scifi author of particularly tragic poignancy Yoko Ono - badass, invulnerable, great. Samuel Beckett Lourdes Hunter Harry Stanton Jacques Brel Werner Herzog Angela Davis Jane Goodall Richard James Billy Porter Twisty Faster Mick Foley Last edited by dubman; 11-07-2019 at 10:46 AM. |

Re: Who's your S T A R?
Ive met him at my first ever comics convention waaay back in like 1985? He asked to see my drawings (I was 10 or 11) but i didnt have them with me. I spent the summer thinking I'd missed a chance to show him but now realize he was just being nice :P

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 6 - S T A R
Wow, yeah, I'm just noticing that Karl actually made the verse based on what those people are saying.
