Paul Newman Videos

The emerging actor and son of Mick Jagger talks about his childhood obsession with Paul Newman and his desire to be Batman.

Here s Part Eight of the 2008 Tribute/Memorial series interrupted by my not going to the station for a while. And a friend of the station died last year, Paul Newman- his wife Joanne Woodward an even bigger friend who would do a lot of stuff for us at Christmas. Remember the group The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown? Well I had a memory of them doing a song on an album, the most unlikely song you could imagine them doing, you would not believe it. Turned out my memory was correct, and the LP was called Strangeland. In this episode you will hear it- and it relates to our Memorial. Now I said last time that this was broadcast back in July, and in fact it was the nearest show to the 40 Year Anniversary of the Moon Landing in 1969. I was in the midst of my Space series here, so it wasn t heard then but will be now. This time I thought I d take a look at the moon using Sexy Singers. Hearing the show now, I realize that I never identified them, as we were running late. So, they are Tanya Tucker and Tom Jones. That s about all you need to know- more than you need to know- to enjoy this one. This series is not morbid nor maudlin, it is rather a celebration of the lives of those we lost in the previous year- in this case 2008. Sort of an Irish Wake! At least SOME of these people should have touched you in some way, shape or form, and made your life a bit happier and more pleasant. I will be dealing with the notable or should be noted. For the musical folks who passed on, they are deserving of one more play, at the very least. And we will deal with other cultural figures as well, with some hopefully appropriate music for them. You are welcome, encouraged even, to anticipate or second-guess my own musical choices! In this eighth episode, those selected are: Paul Newman Nick Reynolds (Kingston Trio) Jody Reynods (and relates to Arthur Brown, but not Nick, lol) Neil Hefti (Songwriter) Levi Stubbs (The Four Tops) They can’t give any more than they have already given us.

Surrogates / Paul Newman Movie Box Sets

It's tough to lose a legend like Paul Newman, and the rush of DVDs, biographies, and rumor mongering don't make it any easier. The rush of merchandising seems to walk a fine line between actually honoring the person, and pure graveyard profit. You can decide what category Fox's upcoming Paul Newman Tribute Collection falls into. I'm going to err on the side of classy, even at its steep price of $89.98, because it contains a total of 17 DVDs. The list includes: The Long, Hot Summer (the film that Newman Joanne Woodward met on) Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys From the Terrace Exodus The Hustler Collector's Edition Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man What a Way to Go! Hombre Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Collector's Edition The Towering Inferno Special Edition Buffalo Bill and the Indians Or Sitting Bull's History Lesson Quintet The Verdict Collector's Edition The collection goes on sale on September 22. It's definitely a fine collection of films (and it's especially nice to include the posh Collector's Editions of films like Butch Cassidy, unfortunately the notes say nothing about the lesser known films like Exodus or Quintet getting the remastered treatment. Still, it's a chance for a lot of people to meet some gems of Newman's impressive career for the first time, and for longtime fans to rediscover a film they forgot all about. To sweeten the deal, the set comes with a 136 page softbound book with new photos of Newman, photos of cast, crew and sets of the film along with , movie excerpts, and personal quotes from the man himself. The book alone might help tip the balance -- he was possibly the most beautiful man to have ever lived! Who wouldn't want a nice book like that?
