Qualifying For Success

Gorillaz have released the video for their new single Stylo. The video is for the 1st track to be lifted from Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s cartoon band’s forthcoming album ‘Plastic Beach’, out on March eight. It features an appearance from actor Bruce Willis. Their official Facebook page may list Essex as Gorillaz’ HQ, but this action- packed idea album finds the cartoon band on an isolated island assembled completely of client detritus and exploring the melancholy wonder of mankind’s interactions with the natural world. It is a great allegory for the frolicsome way Damon Albarn has built up the Gorillaz’ danceably eclectic sound from offcuts of hiphop, funk, alternative rock, pop, world and electronica. He does not filch, borrow or lazily recycle from other genres. He lovingly salvages the things they have left at the back, like a hip, 21st century Womble.

And the glossy, platinum-selling pop songs he assembles from this musical bric-a-brac have attracted a deliciously disparate collective of artists to Plastic Beach. The album opens with a warm wash of oceanic strings, before hitting a shore of hard, dissonant brass notes strongly harking back to that malign old Open School theme music. Then the hiphop beat drops in to the bark of Plastic Beach’s first celebrity inhabitant. Snoop Doggy Dogg greets us like a guard dog pacing forwards and backwards on the island’s fringe, while Albarn’s distorted voice hovers above like a melodic army drone. From there the seductive rat-a-tat tabla, flute and strings of the Lebanese Countrywide Orchestra lures us into the arms of London dirt rappers Bashy and Kano, who prepare us to meet some enormous names along the road. For the youngsters, this record will be like hearing a coolly remixed version of their parents’ iPods on shuffle.

Albarn’s scavenged up Eighties soul sweater Bobby Womack, the Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon, hip-hop grandmasters De La Soul and narky post-punker Mark E Smith.

The probabilities of scooping up the Euro Lotto jackpot is a distant 1 : seventy six million but the prospect of acquiring a cash prize is a somewhat decent 1 : twenty-four. When the jackpot is not won in a given lotto draw, it is carried forward to the following week which results in an ever increasing jackpot value.

The driving core of this concern and care, on an electro-magnetic level, is creative life force. As our love flows toward the object of our love, the object is filled with our vital energy, enthusiasm and joy. This energetic connection to the object magnetically pulls the object into our sphere of experience. We attract that which we love. It becomes created within our world.

I love the humor of Sid Caesar, one of our culture's most talented and observant comedians. I especially enjoyed the wild and batty characters he presented on his television show in the 1950s. One of my favorite caricatures was called “The Professor.” An exuberant, pompous man, The Professor pontificated in an exaggerated, self-absorbed way about scholarly subjects, using long words, complex phrases and complicated logic. In taking these qualities to the extreme and the absurd, Sid Caesar helped me to release the frustration and impatience of a lifetime of having to listen to people just like The Professor: my father, athletic coaches, countless school teachers, and many other authorities and experts.

It was almost time to break for lunch at a workshop I was conducting in New York City. To illustrate a certain point, I was describing to the group a particular bit of shtick Sid Caesar had done in the early days of television.

Playing The Professor, he lectured verbosely about his subject, as usual, using convoluted sentences and ridiculous reasoning. As he built up to a dramatic climax and was just about to make his main point, his tie — rigid and stiff — would flip up into his face. Each and every time the tie unceremoniously interrupted his presentation, the studio audience broke into gales of laugher. Knowing his tie was going to snap up in his face every time The Professor built to a crescendo, I laughed in anticipation along with the audience. We couldn't wait for that tie to flip up into his face again. The more arrogant and pompous The Professor became, the more we anticipated his forthcoming humiliation. There was also a mild sexual undertone to the skit which, while never discussed, was always present in regards to the rigid, erect tie.

With unbounded respect and admiration for the humor of Sid Caesar, I acted out the skit for the group. To our shared delight, I was able to demonstrate the hilarity of The Professor, as well as convey the keen insight into human nature Sid Caesar possessed.

My good buddy and co-presenter Tobias was in the class. He grew up in Sweden and had never heard of Sid Caesar. My loving re-enactment stirred an acute curiosity in Tobias to know more about this icon of American comedy. The rest of the participants in the gathering had been raised on American television. Lunch forgotten for the moment, members of the group began to share their own fond memories of the beloved comedian with Tobias. Like me, several people even acted out their favorite routines. It ended up being a Sid Caesar “Love-In” as people remembered how much they looked forward to his performances on The Ed Sullivan Show and how much they treasured his talent and comedy.

We finally broke for lunch. Tobias and I decided to eat our meal in Central Park. As the elevator made its way to the main floor, Tobias mused aloud, “You know, I'd really like to meet this guy, Sid Caesar.”

I replied nonchalantly, “He probably lives in Hollywood, and I'm not even sure if he's still alive.”

With an air of uncommon determination, Tobias countered, “No, I really must meet him. He sounds like a unique and wonderful man.”

Then, as we crossed the street bordering Central Park, I saw a stately gentleman coming toward us who looked exactly like Sid Caesar! I couldn't believe my eyes. He appeared older than I remembered Mr. Caesar, but he bore an uncanny resemblance to the comedian. I whispered to Tobias, “You know, that man looks just like Sid Caesar.

Peering closely at the man approaching us, my friend — who had never seen Mr. Caesar in person or on television — pronounced in no uncertain terms, “He is Sid Caesar. I can tell.”

“No, it couldn't be,” I responded incredulously.

Tobias' solution was to find out for sure. We walked over to the stranger. Tobias introduced himself as being from Sweden. He asked the gentleman if he was Sid Caesar. Sure enough, he was! Not only did he not mind identifying himself, but Mr. Caesar was very willing to spend some time chatting animatedly with us. What a treat.

For ten minutes, we listened to jokes and stories, enjoying the man who was the same funny, friendly being we'd all talked about before lunch. Tobias' wish was granted. He met Sid Caesar and experienced firsthand the joy, warmth, openness and humor of this extraordinarily gifted man.

Like vibration creates like vibration by attracting that which exists on the same wavelength or frequency. The vibration of our love pulled to it the object of our love. The affection and admiration we had poured into the personage of Sid Caesar vibrationally attracted his very real spirit to meet us in Central Park. What a magical and wondrous universe we live in!
