#Mad Dogs and Englishmen

These two powerful relics somehow converged in Texas - creating, I'm sure, a fixed (or is that spayed?) point in time. There is no universe in which this does not occur. (And yes, Paul Magrs has laid eyes on this photo).

According to Francine’s close friend and fellow groupie, Nancy Deedrick, Francine was one of the reasons Gram and girlfriend Nancy Ross were frequently on-again/off-again throughout the late 1960s. Andee also claims the reason Gram’s appearance was so brief at the beginning of the 1970 Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour was because he was disappointed to discover Francine had moved on to Leon Russell’s drummer Chuck Blackwell.

Walking in London on the hottest ever day in the UK | 40°C Heat (hotter than India) | 19th July 2022

This showed up in my recommendations, and I had to click through. (Pretty sure I had watched a couple of their street food videos before, actually.)

At any rate, I am still not quite sure if my favorite part of this video was (a) when Camera Guy, who does seem to spend an awful lot of time in India, sort of staggers out into the middle of the road while sounding like he is legitimately about to keel over; or (b) the multiple absolute geniuses sitting in these absurd glass pods, out in what looks very much like afternoon sun on the hottest day on record, presumably of their own free will. 🙃

But, that's okay! 🥴

Those little vent hatches make all the difference in their Greenhouse Sauna Death Orbs! And the squished hemispherical variation?

Oops, that's at a different site! And presumably on a very different day.

MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN - Noel Coward with Ray Noble & His Orchestra

(Tbf, those could all be tourists solar cooking themselves. But, I have some doubts.)

Not quite sure, think the dog might've been happy to find a patch of icy snow…

Copy/pasted from my Letterboxd

Gonna be completely honest, I initially turned on Mad Dogs & Englishmen (1971) just to see obscure groupies Kay Poorboy and Francine Brockey on screen, lol. It's a good thing Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, etc. know how to put on a show, because I think Kay was only in about 2 minutes of the whole doc and I don't even remember seeing a close-up of Francine, lol. Speaking of, this flick was a lot heavier on the groupie content than I was expecting. Barbara Cope [The Butter Queen] shows up for five minutes to explain why concerts would be 'a drag' without groupies and surprisingly says that the new groupies are getting too young and shouldn't be allowed backstage. We also get Rita singing the classic groupie anthem 'Superstar' [co-written by Leon] to Kay, lol. Of course there is plenty of jam/rehearsal footage for fans of any of the music legends too. Along with some Woodstock-esque shots [i.e. double and triple split-screen editing] during the performances, I think Mad Dogs is actually what the 1970 doc Groupies could have been. Here, the MD&E crew actually come across young and naïve enough to genuinely buy into hippy-dippy, flower power, whereas everyone in Groupies kind of comes off as a scumbag. So yeah, dug this a lot more than I thought I would. Unfortunately, I have no idea where one would be able to watch this online [besides the ~high seas], because I just rented the DVD from Netflix, lol.

Not sure how active the groupie fandom is these days, but I thought I’d share for anyone who might be interested. ♫☮️
