singapore sling and the american dream
what do martin denny and hunter s. thompson have in common? the only thing i can think of is a singapore sling. i can't prove it. but i know that the good dr. had a few in his time, at least according to fear and loathing in las vegas. mr. denny must have had a least one in his lifetime (not too many aa musicians back in those days) so there we have it, the common thread. but wait a minute, maybe there is more. the good dr. wore acapulco shirts and sported shorts and often found himself in a tropical setting. was the good dr. following in the foot steps of the pied piper of exotica? who konw's? it would be hard to believe that thompson never heard the sounds of martin denny. wonder if denny knew of the adventures of one gonzo journalist? either way they were both heros of mine, each in their own unique way. martin denny made music for a generation longing to escape the concrete jungle. and dr. gonzo was busy unearthing the american dream and allowing us to tag along. in the end the journey seems to take us to the same place, the desire to be on a small tropical island drinking singapore slings. i may not be able to fly off to a tropical island, but i can take a trip over to the tiki-ti and sip a singapore sling and enjoy the american dream while i am there.

cool films according to me:

one of the coolest films around is the movie the woman chaser (1999) directed by robinson devor and starring patrick warburton of sienfeld fame. it is based on a book by charles willeford about at used car salesman in the late 50's who wants to make a movie and he won't let anyone or any woman stand in the way of his desire.

patrick warburton

shot in color and then transfered to glorious black and white it has one of the best soundtracks i have ever heard, lots of cal tjader and lounge classics. this is the kind of film i can only dream of ever making. unfortunately it is not out on dvd, but you might be able to catch it on cable, if you do, have your tivo ready.
