Seven Seconds
You've got to watch this for the Jersey City/east coast feel.
Would I put "Seven Seconds" at the top of your list? Absolutely not. First check off "Borgen," "The Bureau" and "Spiral," not to mention many others. But we're starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel.
I'm sick of genre shows. And movies. You know, someone is kidnapped/killed and the rest of the show is about uncovering who did it. Seems like this is the only trope that works on TV, it's so much harder to do comedy or family/relationship drama, and those are what I like best.
Having seen most of the A level television, and please don't recommend your favorites unless you check online and find that they have in excess of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, maybe 78%, because if you're a party of one...chances are I'm not in your party.
And yesterday I learned I was a highbrow. In the seventies you could be both a highbrow and a lowbrow, I like to get down in the gutter, if it's AC/DC or earthy...if it's just plain trash, appealing to the lowest common denominator, I'm not interested, I don't want to waste my time, and time is all we've got, it's our most precious resource, you realize it's going to run out and that's scary, you don't want to dribble it away unconsciously. I don't want to be entertained, I want to be MOVED!
Kind of like "Putney Swope." You probably saw that Robert Downey, Sr. died. I don't think he would have gotten such prominent obits if it weren't for his son. But Sr. was quite the innovative filmmaker back in the sixties and seventies, when that was still a thing. You could be innovative and still get distribution, your movies could still be seen. And "Putney Swope" had an indelible effect on me. First and foremost it was rated X, and my older sister had to buy tickets for me. Second, I went on a bad set-up date in Boston where I was visiting said sister at college. This woman couldn't stop saying she needed ice cream, I think it was a way to deal with her anxiety. Anyway, I was wowed by "Putney Swope," I couldn't stop talking about it. And I saw it again about four years later and I'd like to tell you it held up, but it didn't quite, then again maybe I was self-conscious because I dragged all my friends to see it. And I saw Downey's "Greaser's Palace" first run too, I was a fan. But I don't think you could make "Putney Swope" today, they'd picket, you'd be instantly canceled, but back then the cutting edge was part of society, today it's so far off on the fringe no one knows about it, no one knows about that which is supposedly mainstream! I haven't seen a single network TV show in at least a decade. I'm stunned they're still on. As for movies...
I watched Soderbergh's "No Sudden Move" on HBO Max. It could be the most complicated/hardest to follow film I've ever seen. No, that's not true, how about "Memento"? But, you can't multitask while you're watching "No Sudden Move," you'll miss something. As for whether you should watch it... Sure, just don't expect too much. As for the casting, does anybody believe Matt Damon in this role? He's so clearly Matt Damon, it's a disservice to the picture. Don Cheadle is better, but Benicio del Toro is somewhat superfluous and...if this is what they're selling as Hollywood great, count me out.
So, yesterday, having watched so many TV series, I decided to go to the movies, on my iPad. I watched "There Will Be Blood." This is one of the best pictures of the past two decades, that's what my research said... It's a circle jerk of criticism. It's more about image and feeling than story, and that can work for Terence Malick, but not Paul Thomas Anderson. I loved "Boogie Nights," but "There Will Be Blood" was almost an endurance test, like "The Master."
And then I started "Mystic River" and they kidnapped the kid and I was out. Ergo that genre/highbrow reference above. So I looked for Oscar-winning foreign films and found "Ida," which I liked in theory but also turned into an endurance test. Black and white Polish film about Holocaust survivors...well, that gives the wrong feel, this isn't about the disenfranchised underclass, but if you hate foreign flicks don't watch it, it'll make you hate them more.
Which had me looking at foreign TV shows again. I was combing through the websites, I'm stunned how many I've seen, kinda like the Top 100 greatest movies of all time (I don't waste my time, I do research before I dive in), I'd seen 95, so there were slim pickings there. All of which is to say my opinion of "Seven Seconds" went up.
Now "Seven Seconds" is a commitment. It's ten one hour episodes, a couple are even longer. Could it have been shorter, more compact? Yes. Then again, what you think will happen in episode nine or ten happens in episode four, the plot keeps superseding itself. You think it's about one thing, then that is solved and it's really about another thing and then over and over again, and this is a good thing.
And it's about race in Jersey City and... Have you ever lived on the east coast? It's old, and dirty. In the west, the south, so much is so new, there's little grunge, but it's baked in on the east coast, it's part of the character. And you can live ten miles away and have a completely different accent. And life is hard and nobody's complaining about it, it's seen as your duty to endure the weather and the hardships, the competition, the belief is that you're superior and the challenges breed character. And to a good degree that's true. East coast people are talkative, they're in the mix, which is the opposite of native Californians. They want to know you, mix it up, you've got to be aware, east coasters are not laid back.
And Jersey City is a hole. Across the river from New York, you live there if you can't afford the greatest city in the world. And unlike in Los Angeles, the races are all mixed in together, they're not geographically separated and...so much of what is in this series is representative of the cause of white flight. People don't want to live with other races, ethnicities... Sure, some do, but most don't, they want to circle the wagons of their own, like the cops in this show.
So, on one side you've got the abused presumed guilty Blacks, and on the other you've got the establishment, the police, who judge a human life based on its place in the economic ladder. It's a job, not a cause, the people come and go, the police remain, don't get too hung up on the individuals.
So what you've got here is a post-Ferguson story. Black Lives Matter before George Floyd. And you've got sex and loyalty and drinking and abuse and...
There's some great acting in "Seven Seconds." Regina King won an Emmy for her role, but I found Clare-Hope Ashitey just as good. And I love Michael Mosley, you know, the preacher in "Ozark." And all the cops are good. Especially David Lyons as Mike DiAngelo. The funny thing is he's Australian, he fooled me, he acted so well he seemed to be from the heart of the city.
So you've got the snow and the cold and the grit and it's not like everybody is involved in outdoor sports, they're just enduring the weather until it gets better.
And you've got duplicity and lies and the question is can you ever get justice? I don't think you can. Seems like everybody lies on the stand these days and family is more important than the law, your loyalties are to the tribe, not society, and that's scary.
Yes, I winced a couple of times, when the cops were suddenly right outside the rehab center...why?
Then again, Messiah, the dope king, is so smart and so right. He's playing the hand dealt him, and he does this well.
And at one point the father of the dead boy, and I'm giving nothing away, this is in the opening segment, has a speech wherein he says he thought he was different.
I thought so too.
And then you realize you're not.
It's kind of like Bob Dylan saying "for them that think death's honesty won't fall upon them naturally life sometimes must get lonely."
You're gonna die, I guarantee it. And chances are it won't be smooth sailing up to that point. You'll get cancer, maybe you'll survive it, maybe you won't. You'll lose a family member. Life is about enduring loss. You're optimistic when you're young, but it's hard to keep that upbeat outlook. You have dreams and the truth is you don't know how hard or even how to reach your dream until you're too old to get it, assuming you try to begin with, too many punt so they won't fail.
These are the questions that interest me, these are the issues I want to see depicted.
And "Mare of Easttown" has a global star as its lead, but the story of "Seven Seconds" means more and sticks with you.
So, if you've got ten hours for a slightly flawed American show...
Oh, I didn't mention Gretchen Mol! One of the greatest disappointments in acting history. She was on the cover of "Vanity Fair" billed as the next big thing and then she wasn't but when you see her here you think she deserved to be, she wows without appearing phony, like she's acting at all.
So we live for art. I couldn't wait to sit in front of the flat screen to watch episodes of "Seven Seconds."
Maybe you'll feel the same.
Oh, for the wankers who've never heard of Google, it's on Netflix.

Former Wall Street Analyst - Do This By July 29th
July 11, 2021 "Master Stock Picker" Leaves Wall Street, Gives Away His No. 1 Recommendation Online
In one of the worst years in history! Some of his picks have soared as high as 262% and 609%. No surprise though. In nearly 20 years on Wall Street, he was known as a stock-picking savant. As word got out, he racked up awards from Fortune, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times. But none of his huge winners so far compares to the idea he's sharing today. He says it could be the No. 1 best idea he's ever seen – from him or any of his colleagues. And after 20 years, he was tired of seeing the best ideas go to already rich Wall Street clients – while regular folks pick up the scraps. So he QUIT Wall Street. And went public with the full story in this just-released video. Powerful folks in New York are likely going to come after this video – and demand Tom take it down. Especially since this idea could have already shown you average gains of 630% in four years. And right now, it could be even better going forward, because of a HUGE shift that happened during 2020. It's Tom's No. 1 idea of 2021. I highly recommend you do so before July 29, when a company announcement could change everything. Go here to get the full details while you can.

SC acts on ‘death warrants,’ curbs Metro court powers
Hi Edward, Here are the most important news that you need to know. SC acts on ‘death warrants,’ curbs Metro court powersJudges in Manila and Quezon City are no longer allowed to authorize search operations by law enforcers in the provinces under new rules issued by the Supreme Court following complaints of abuse and the killings of activists. ‘Sea ranching’ sustains La Union fishers
SAN FERNANDO CITY—If you enjoy a plate of sea urchin gonads (roe), it’s likely that these have been harvested from the community of Paraoir in Balaoan, La Union province. Boracay Biking Tour, which will showcase the scenic terrain of the island, is a unique way to explore the different areas, from the paved roads with shoreline views to the network of dirt roads inside the island to the peak of Mt. Luho and down to the more secluded beaches. Pilgrim finds home, venture in Baguio There was a time when wine was not on the list of drinks to accompany Filipino celebrations. It was usually beer and traditional hard liquor, such as brandy and rum.Opinion: BedlamLast weekend, the government announced that fully-vaccinated interzonal travelers were allowed to skip the required RT-PCR tests and instead just present a vaccination card or certificate of isolation issued by the Bureau of Quarantine. Three days later, however, the Department of Health said it was reviewing this policy after local government units balked at the change. LGUs had good reason to complain. Not only were they not consulted on the new policy (again), but also, there was no national verification system in place, or standard security features in the vaccination cards issued by LGUs, that could help them determine the authenticity of the health document.

My Beatles Top Ten
10. DON'T BOTHER ME
From "Meet the Beatles" or "With the Beatles" depending upon which side of the pond you were on. Yes, after "Meet the Beatles!" broke we got the rerelease of VeeJay's "Introducing the Beatles" and not long thereafter Capitol's "The Beatles' Second Album" as well as the double-sided single "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" on Tollie and let's not forget the Swan single with "She Loves You" and "I'll Get You" back at the beginning. This was all evidence of Beatlemania. The band was an English hitmaker and unknown in the U.S. and suddenly...they were everywhere. It doesn't happen this way anymore because no one can be as big as the Beatles, no one can have that mindshare (and please let's not compare chart numbers, they're apples and oranges) and no one can rehearse/play and record in excess of half a decade before the mainstream public becomes aware of them. Today you make it and immediately distribute it, it's one of the 60,000 tracks added to Spotify each week. You believe if you make it they will come but music is no longer a field of dreams.
There were Beatle wigs, boots and buttons. And my father bought us 4 buttons... "I Love Paul!," "I Love Ringo!," "I Love George!" and "I Love the Beatles!" These weren't the tiny buttons of the English new wave, these were four or five inches in diameter and even though they might be perceived as girlish I wore my "I Love George!" button to school and no one ranked me out. Everything was rare back in the sixties, today things are artificially rare, like at Supreme, but back then they couldn't judge the market accurately and then they couldn't produce fast enough and you might own something completely different from your friend.
George was my favorite... Because of his hair, guitar-playing and sneer/attitude. He was the "Quiet Beatle," but that's been disproven, it turns out George was quite a big talker.
Anyway, you bought "Meet the Beatles!" and I don't know anyone who didn't own it, ANYONE, and you played it over and over again until the grooves got gray. And I liked "Don't Bother Me" but it was never my favorite until a few years back. I was playing the CD and it stuck out. George hated the song, thought it was amateurish, but maybe that's why I like it so much, it resonates...and the fact that he didn't want to be bothered, I understood that, but actually I wanted to be bothered, just by the right people.
9. ANOTHER GIRL
"For I have got
Another girl"
As big as the mania was for the Ed Sullivan shows and "Meet the Beatles!," it was eclipsed by "A Hard Day's Night." It got great reviews, the UA soundtrack was released a month in advance and seeing it was a requirement, a ritual. "Help" not so much. Because although it was in color, reviews were not quite as spectacular, but really because in the wake of the Beatles came the British Invasion and the U.S. started to heat up too and if you wanted to know which way the wind blew you turned on the radio. At first it was just the Beatles, they wiped everything before them off the map, from Perry Como to Fabian, it was kind of like AOL in the nineties, then again, Gen-Z has grown up with the internet all their lives.
The American Capitol release of "Help!" was essentially the first side of the English LP. And if you look at the track listing on the English album, you'll be astounded. Seven incredible songs in a row. At first I loved the title cut, "Help!" As for "Ticket to Ride," that was a single, months before the movie, when it was still titled "Eight Arms to Hold You."
For a long time my second favorite cut was "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," we all learned to play it on the guitar and we'd get together and sing...HEY!
Then my second favorite on the American LP was track 2, "The Night Before," it sounded like the night before, looking back, reminiscent.
And "I Need You" was intimate, there was someone, a specific person singing the song, George.
As I've gotten older, I've cottoned to "You're Gonna Lose That Girl," with its intense, meaningful Lennon vocal, because after the first run of weddings you find out some people ignore their spouses and...
So, I was having a hard time deciding amongst all these "Help!" cuts, I didn't expect to see so many contenders but ultimately I decided the opener on the second side of the American "Help!" for the song, vocal and attitude. That's why the Beatles were so great, they fired on ALL cylinders. Today few can write a song, and those who can feel that they're entitled to sing it when they've got an inferior voice and...
On one hand you could bop your head to "Another Girl," but on another like with "I Need You" you could visualize a specific situation, and the Beatles could be on the losing end, unlike today's "singers."
8. I'VE GOT A FEELING
There was a boxed version of "Let It Be" with a book that was hard to get in the U.S. But the press preceded "Let It Be"'s release, word was not kind. And sure, if you wanted to compare it to what came before, but...
Phil Spector made "Long and Winding Road" an unlistenable to fans hit, but the opener "Two of Us" was simple and magical and easy to learn how to play on the guitar. And I liked "I Me Mine" and "For You Blue" even better but nothing on the LP compares to my love for the opening cut on the second side that I never hear anybody talk about, "I've Got a Feeling."
It's the guitar lick, but even more it's the vocals, by both McCartney and Lennon. This was before McCartney became too cutesy, when he was just a member of a group, not everything, and you get the Lennon that doubled-down in the seventies, a deep thinking individual bristling with an edge.
"Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, oh yeah"
A wet dream? You couldn't even talk about it, never mind sing about it!
"Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down
Oh yeah, oh yeah"
When you're at the top you can play it safe, give people what they want or take a risk. Lennon could display humor at a time when people were taking the music and music business so seriously.
The worst thing is you can't copyright a title so when you talk about "I've Got a Feeling" people think you're talking about a Black Eyed Peas song.
7. I WANT TO TELL YOU
The origin of riff rock. Yes, credit George Harrison because no one ever does. He was the progenitor, with "I Want to Tell You" he demonstrated a riff could make a track.
6. TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS
"Revolver" had a huge double-sided single, "Eleanor Rigby"/"Yellow Submarine," one heavy and one light and both dominant, heart everywhere throughout the summer of 1966.
The album started with "Taxman," George Harrison complaining when most of us had no idea of taxes. And "Here, There and Everywhere" was gorgeous and "Good Day Sunshine" really opened the second side of the American album with a bang, you woke right up and paid attention.
As for "Got to Get You into My Life"...it was okay, but when they released it as a single long after the band's demise, I thought that was heinous, no dollar can be left on the table.
For a long time I would have told you I preferred "She Said She Said," then again both it and "Tomorrow Never Knows" are really John Lennon compositions. And back then we had no idea that Peter Fonda was the one who said he knew what it was like to be dead, thank you internet, but the sound of the guitar and the changes...magic.
But "Tomorrow Never Knows"...
"Turn off your mind relax and float downstream"
This is the difference between then and now. Today the more success you have the more you're tuned in, everybody's goal is to be tuned in to what's going on, to not be left behind. But back then life was so in-your-face and traditional values were being questioned and the goal was to relax, disengage and find yourself. I'll argue so many of the younger generations have no idea who they are, they go to college to learn a trade, they don't go to Europe after graduating, it's their loss.
I could cite the innovations of "Tomorrow Never Knows," like it being all one chord, but you probably know all of them. The point is once you've digested everything else on "Revolver" you're left with "Tomorrow Never Knows" and you can play it again and again both then and now, preferably on headphones, disengaged from the world.
5. DEAR PRUDENCE
"Revolution" had already been a hit, but in a much faster version. Other than that, the White Album was a deep dive into the unknown, which wasn't always sunny, you were picking up rocks and finding such weird stuff beneath them.
My original favorite was the opener "Back in the U.S.S.R." because it was an homage to my favorites, the Beach Boys, and it had the Russian references when the U.S.S.R. was still the enemy.
Now everybody talks about "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" whereas back then "Why Don't We Do It in the Road" got more press. I liked "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," but there were other numbers which penetrated my soul more.
Like "Rocky Raccoon."
And "Blackbird."
And "Mother Nature's Son."
And "Martha My Dear."
What got a lot of talk in the winter of '68-'69 was "Piggies," but today everybody either is or is hustling to be a piggie, boy how generations change.
But one lonely night back in the early nineties I was playing "Dear Prudence" and it suddenly resonated. Oh, I knew it by heart, but I finally got it. Of course today we know the importance of Donovan's influence and who it's about but really the song stands on its own.
"The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you"
We don't have this kind of optimism today. The song was dark and meaningful but really it was a journey to self-realization and happiness, it's not in-your-face, you can never burn out on it.
4. YOU NEVER GIVE ME YOUR MONEY
Tenacious D just did a cover, ignore it, they mess with the song's essence, which is ethereal, it's from another world, not Earth. It's so pretty, so right, and then it changes and becomes a brisk walk down the high street that starts out as a lament...
"Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go"
College graduation is a wake-up call, which was depicted well in "The Graduate" but nobody I knew was looking to get married right after graduation, the last thing we wanted was commitment, to truly start our lives. And the work world is hard, very different from school, and oftentimes even less fulfilling.
"But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go, nowhere to go"
These are the lines that resonated back in the nineties and have stayed with me. That magic feeling is music. A record sets you free and nothing else matters, our whole lives are a search for that magic feeling.
3. IN MY LIFE
The American version of "Rubber Soul" had no singles...NONE! Can you imagine that today when the label forces you to go back to the studio to cut a hit or they won't release your project? And honestly, with only so much money at my disposal I didn't buy "Rubber Soul" when it came out because of its lack of hits, but I'd play it at my friend Marc's house, he had the English version, which opened with "Drive My Car," which was exotic in those days, you rarely heard it.
There are so many great cuts on the American "Rubber Soul," especially the opener, "I've Just Seen a Face" and George Harrison's "Think for Yourself" and honestly, it took me eons to understand the wisdom of "In My Life." I was too young to get it. And at this late date I marvel at the fact that Lennon could write lyrics with such wisdom at such a young age.
"There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain"
Sometimes all you've got is the memories. The places no longer exist, the people are dead or you've fallen out or lost touch with them. But the visuals are still crystal clear in your mind. As for change, we can only go forward and I don't want to go back to the past but I must say important stuff has been lost in the march forward.
"All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all"
I think I got into "In My Life" when "Rubber Soul" finally came out on CD, and then it was used in "thirtysomething"...
2. SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (REPRISE)
Ultimately "She's Leaving Home" is the most meaningful song on "Sgt. Pepper." No one runs away anymore, as a matter of fact they FaceTime with their parents multiple times a day, not that the parents truly understand today's kids who are too often brainwashed to become automatons. Hell, we had endless lockdown and what got us through? ART! But every bloviator on the flat screen denigrates art history majors, no one wants their kid to be an artist, there's no music and art in schools and...
We all want to be understood, and don't believe you are if you aren't.
Sure, "With a Little Help from My Friends" had an immediate impact, but then it grew to unparalleled prominence, its lyrics entered everyday culture, never underestimate the power of Ringo.
And the controversy was all about "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" being about LSD but truly the younger generation didn't care if it was or not, only the oldsters, the news magazines did.
My initial two favorites were "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" and "Lovely Rita," which few talked about back then. As for "Good Morning Good Morning"...this was back when you wanted to sleep in, not brag about how early you got up. And I'm not sure anything more needs to be said about "A Day in the Life" other than we still don't know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall, but...
No one ever talks about the theme song. The opener, with the orchestra tuning up, the story of the band being told. But in truth, as much as I loved that I always preferred the reprise on the second side whose only flaw was it was too short and back in the vinyl era there was no way to put it on endless repeat. The reprise starts off with pedal to the metal, the faders up full, but what truly puts it over the top is the lyric "It's Sgt. Pepper's ONE AND ONLY lonely hearts club band." I love the way that is sung.
1. EVERY LITTLE THING
At this point my favorite album, the one I play most, is "Beatles for Sale," which didn't exist in America, instead it was broken up into two albums, the great "Beatles '65" and the somewhat lame pastiche "Beatles VI," with one of the worst covers of all time.
So I always loved "No Reply" and "I'm a Loser," but "Beatles for Sale" includes "Eight Days a Week," one of the band's truly great singles.
"Hold me
Love me"
And the handclaps in-between. Seems simple these days, but you've got to put yourself back in '65 when the U.K. was still operating in black and white and music was the elixir of the youth, our joy and our Bible.
But I did not know "Every Little Thing."
But I had this songbook, "The Golden Beatles," with all of the band's songs up to that point that you could play on the piano or the guitar, and songs I'd never heard I learned how to play, like "What You're Doing" and "Every Little Thing," and ultimately it turned out I got them pretty right. I learned that when I finally bought "Beatles VI" years later, needing to complete my collection.
"When I'm walking beside her
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy"
The older you get the more you realize this doesn't apply. I remember remarking to a lawyer at my sister's wedding that his wife was hot, and she was, and the truth was he was stepping out on her and on his way to divorcing her. You never know what goes on behind closed doors, you never know the truth of another couple's relationship.
As for looks...
You can get a trophy wife to impress the others who believe in trophy wives and live in an endless loop of materialistic phoniness. I'm not saying looks are unimportant they're just not that important, they don't supersede everything. If you're involved with someone to impress others...better take a long hard look at your values, maybe it's time to go to the shrink.
"I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now"
Oh the pain of distance. Where are they, are they thinking about you? There's no worse pain than heartache, there's no pill that will make it go away. As for loneliness...it can kill, that's the truth.
"There is one thing I'm sure of
I will love her forever
For I know love will never die"
Too often it does. The number one criterion of a successful relationship is commitment, without it you're doomed. Choose appropriately, not the person who will give you a good time so much as the one who will stand by you, be there for you.
As for the sound of the track...
The timpani...
The double-tracked guitar...
The changes...
The vocals...
"Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing"
