It has something very similar to that Bee Thousand sound two years in advance, in other words, working cassette tape saturation to get a big, crunching result. I think it was just drum machine and some kind of modest but inspired guitarband Shelley's excellent vocals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bPtVHlC1uU ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:07:02 -0500 From: Jenny Grover Subject: [loud-fans] RIP one of my very favorite actors Patrick McGoohan died on Tuesday. He was one of my very favorite actors from almost as far back as I can remember. I first saw him at the age of four, starring in the Disney movie "Thomasina" and later in Disney's "Dr. Syn", which aired on TV as a mini-series on Wonderful World of Disney under the alternate title "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh". My family watched "Secret Agent" and "The Prisoner" faithfully, and caught them in re-runs in later years. As an avid Columbo watcher in the 70s, I was thrilled when he showed up on there, and while "Rafferty" was certainly not a very good series, we watched it anyway, because it was "him".

I read George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" shortly after I began watching it, and of course *that* really did me in.

I bought The Prisoner set a few years ago, and Larry got me Danger Man for Xmas 2007. And, you know, it was always kinda fun to see him play a bad guy, too. He could be a really mean bad guy. None of that "nice guy turns bad because of sad circumstances" stuff. I felt no pity for him whatsoever in "Braveheart".

You gotta see him as the prison warden in "Escape From Alcatraz" with Clint Eastwood -- calm, quiet menace. He never raised his voice, but he never had to... Bob Gunton, who played the warden in "The Shawshank Redemption", was like Snidely Whiplash by comparison.

I started watching it and was absolutely fascinated, even when there were things happening that I couldn't understand. Number 6 was my first grown-up hero, the first adult I ever wanted to be, a rebel with a cause. Ever since I can remember, I've always thought that "because everyone else does it" or "because I told you" weren't good reasons to do things; McGoohan's Number 6 crystallized this in my psyche. For some people, it was Marlon Brando or James Dean or Elvis Presley or the Beatles or the Stones or the Pistols or Nirvana or B.I.G.; for me it was Patrick McGoohan and Number 6.

Revel in the scene where McGoohan hisses the "n-word" (thrown around a little more liberally in the 70's) to Richard Pryor--who feeds it back to him with a pistol up the nose. And if I believed in heaven, I'd picture those two sharing a chuckle over old times, Andy "The problem was that I didn't know *how* to like someone. What should I do? Carry a sign?
