Later tonight, I'm gonna turn out all the lights
and listen to a CD of the original "War of the Worlds" broadcast.

1. Good idea! That's a fucking brilliant, amazing, perfect bit of art and history.
Welles was God on earth, walking around providing super-human art that most people couldn't comprehend.

I really, really, really miss him.

2. I actually knew the guy who directed the original movie in 1953
Byron Haskin, a long-time friend of the family. Great guy, now deceased, however. All his friends called him "Bunny". O8) He also directed "His Majesty O'Keefe" and "Treasure Island", among other movies. It was always so fascinating to listen to him tell stories of old time Hollywood. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005738/ :thumbsup: I miss ya, Bunny.

Have fun! :hi:
