Too Early For Late Father: Long-form narrative with occasional music is a personal memoir of an enigmatic father whose guidance is "dissed" until 35 years after his death. It packs a slow motion punchline -solving one mystery while others linger. Some Yiddish music is occasionaly mixed in and out.Ends with music fade in and voiceover OutQ.
For Whom The Bell Stalls - audio autopsies of heroes, patriots and villians
From Jay sapir | 13:52
Former U.N. chief nuclear weapons inspector is the
"U.N. sleuth slammed by the truth." Ritter was the first high profile public official to tell the Bush administration exactly what they did not want to hear:
No W.M.D.s in Iraq. For doing so, his character was attacked, his comments were scoffed at, and U.S. Military Intel wanted nothing more to do with him. The short piece is "rapped' over jazz percussion sound bed.
This piece -Ritter's bitter bad rap song- is the lead off batter in a worldly series that poses a new paradigm for an emerging definition of patriotism.
It is intrended to be short, to the point, and punctuated rhythmically to hammer home the point.
Starts with the title and intro, goes into voice over percussion, and ends with no outque, only
"with luck this finds you well and brings some peace of mind," then a few seconds drum roll fades.
It should be noted that Ritter was vindicated when the nation came to its senses. Also, far from being bitter these days, he gives lectures, sells out book tours, and continues to write and make public appearences. The bitterness was the first smack of power against truth. A theme running through the series; "For Whom The Bell Stalls;
audio autopsies of heroes, patriots, and villians."
This is aimed at the 4th of July as a counterweight. Four unlikely patriotic anti-heroes can run separetly or together. If I was in the news director's chair, I might wait untill the day after the 4th- to reflect on what it is we were celebrating. The pieces vary in style, content, and length but all raise the same questions over what kind of patriot-hero has evolved in a strange new world.'
Here's the rundown and suggested batting order:
1) Ritter's Bitter Bad Rap Song
2) Watt a hero?
3) Blues for Abu
4) Panamanic Panorama- Ramsey Clark defends the dead.
Descriptions of #2-#4 will be in the Pieces file. Also the lead Independence Day piece: Libertyville U.S.A to be uploaded in 24-48 hrs..
