THE WALL(s)
"The Wall", starring Bob Geldof(nominated today for the Nobel Peace Prize along with Paul "Bono" Hewson) and directed by Alan Parker has been on my mind lately. This story about a troubled rock star's descent into madness in the midst of his physical and social isolation from everyone has left a mark on many a youth, including me.
You may have this mark too.
Did your older brother force you to watch it on VHS in '86 when your parents were in Santa Barbara for the weekend?
Or were you the older brother?
Did your thirteen year old neighbor, Paul, newly ensconced in teenage rebellion, flirting with 80's punk and using a Pepsi Free can to smoke shake, run it all night long during a sleep over?
Or did you actually see it at the U.C. Theater on University Avenue in Berkeley when it was released in '82?
Wait, don't answer any of these queries.
Just consider the memory seared into your brain: the animated army of marching hammers, the creepy smooth skinned masks,
Geldof shaving his eyebrows and chest(cutting his nipple).
I could go on but I will spare you and segue way to the intent of this post: The Walls have gone up in the new space.
"Well that was a stretch.", you may say. And you would be right.
But I felt the need to do something else, anything else with yet another post about the space.
Items of note:
We passed inspection.
All walls were closed this week.
Wire Racks have arrived which means
Tony can commence with wiring.
(Props go out to Tony again for picture taking.)
"The Wall" trailer is available here.
Live the dream again.
(The pics below represent two weeks of work.
The first three pairs show some before and after.)
