sneak preview of production


Breakdown

My wife and I have had a ...well, a creative breakdown. She has been trying to grasp what I have been doing for the last two years. She likes and gets each ofthe things I do, as a separate piece. But does not understand the concept of them being put all together. I showed her youtube clips of Joe Frank and several of the other talents I admire (Kaufman, Zappa,Martin Mull, Newhart, Python, Hodgman, and all bad cheesy films of any genre , and of course, cable access TV and used car commercials. ) She kind of went into shock, apologizing about not getting it for 45 minutes. I think she now understands that I am not going to 'correct' anything because as the Author William S. Burroughs once said, the word 'Should' is never applicable to a creative endeavor...or something like that. Anyway, I had been asking her to be my creative editor and I guess I am on my own as far as that goes. Love her , and still need her feedback. It is important to me. How else will I get my version of 'The Prairie Home Companion' out there to those that need that ?

It's all around us.
