Usually, I do something special; Hangout with old trees, hug them, go to the park, think about how special we are to be living on such a giving planet.  Didn't do any of that, because it raining outside and I wouldn't want to get all muddy and filthy hugging a wet dirty tree. 

 

Every year I try to post videos I made on one great Earth Day a long time ago in a film called, "Angry Blue Planet!"

 

As a special treat to me, I have decided to put up a music video of my favorite band, Dramarama, mentioning my name in the video. 

 

"Anything Anything" by Dramarama!  

 

The song, "What Are We Gonna to Do?" as it was shot on Earth Day is sort of a montage that includes snippets of other bands that played that day in concert.  There are also a couple of shots of me when my hair was long and embarrassing looking.  I hope you enjoy this flashback!

This video is from Psychefunkapus, "Surfin On Jupiter" is such a silly song! Imagine Dick Dale on guitar and spaceships with fins colonizing another world because it just got too tough to surf with all the oil spills and medical waste.   

 

These guys were so sweet and funny behind the scenes and backstage. I had set up a food tent just for my crew and these guys crashed it and ate all the food and drank all the booze. Booze I snuck in for the crew. As you can see from some of the footage, many on my crew were drunk and high while shooting.   

 

Please relax and enjoy this video!

This Pearl Jam video is one of my favorite songs.  "Alive" has a very special meaning for me and I wanted to focus on the kids in the crowd because of that. I also received many complaints from conservatives after the film had been shown in a few film festivals because of the Bush and oil statements Eddie made. There was a lot of pressure on me to cut it, but I refused and it possible damaged my chances of finding more work.   

 

Speaking of oil, and because of it, I painted on the actual film with a petroleum paint. There a bit of useless trivia for you!  Here is my video of a great band at a great time.

I hope you enjoy this!

This video is from The Origin was featured on ABC's In Concert series, giving me my first big Director's credit on a major television network!  

 

"Growing Old" from The Origin 

 

This video is another one from Dramarama.  Watch closely to see Dramarama cofounder and producer of a great documentary, "Mayor of the Sunset Strip," Chris Carter catch a lit cigarette thrown from the crowd! It's was amazing, because it was lit and he caught it with the filter end in his mouth!  

 

Watch for it! Rock History!  

 

"Last Cigarette" Dramarama! 

 

Here is another video I directed featuring another of my favorite bands, Charlatans UK.  The song is, "Only One I Know"

There are also many of the videos on my Facebook page, so if you are unable to see these here, please add me as a friend to see them!

 

 

There were many more videos shot on that special Earth Day, but I think that's enough for now. I hate living in the past. I wish I had done more, it's not like I think this was my greatest achievement and I only have this to look back on, but it was a special time for me and I look back on the experience fondly. I just wonder if the Earth is any better off after all this time? I seriously doubt it.
