Moz Solo was already on it @lovely-lady-fox! FamousWhenDead posted the whole thing:

Johnny Marr: How could Meryl Streep agree to be in Mamma Mia?

The guitarist lets us into his cultural life, from his love of David Hockney to making his friends watch a Joan Didion documentary

My favourite piece of music For a long time now, it’s been My Goal’s Beyond by John McLaughlin. Like his work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, it is in a genre entirely of its own. It’s unquantifiable and makes me feel a certain way, no matter what happens in the outside world.

The lyric I wish I’d written “You’re going to reap just what you sow”, from Perfect Day by Lou Reed.

The instrument I wish I’d learnt Piano. I can play it, but only in amateurish fashion. I should say though there are guitar players who play the piano nicely like Neil Young, Paul McCartney and David Bowie. They play it as a means to an end and do wonderful things with it. But I would like to be a few levels up from there.

The music that cheers me up Any good pop music, which by definition usually means contemporary. There are things from my past that of course make me feel good. But there’s something about hearing music that’s fresh, upbeat and represents the modern world — it makes you feel that everything is OK.

I’m having a fantasy dinner party, I’ll invite these artists and authors Gary Oldman, Muhammad Ali and certainly Marilyn Monroe.

And I’ll put on this music Spirit Power: The Best of Johnny Marr.

Overrated I don’t tend to like shitting on people, but Mamma Mia!, for God’s sake, or We Will Rock You or any of those sorts of musicals. How did it get to that? We’re supposed to go along with the idea that they’re good. What was Meryl Streep thinking she was doing starring in that film, and Julie Walters? What were they thinking? There are a lot of things culturally that we’ve just gone along with and they really must stop.

Underrated

Blindboy Boatclub, the artist and musician from Limerick, is best known as one half of the Irish comedy hip-hop group the Rubberbandits. He’s amazing, has such an interesting way of thinking and also hosts the brilliant series The Blindboy Podcast too. One of the best books I have ever read is his Topographia Hibernica. I can’t recommend him or it enough.

My favourite author

Aldous Huxley. People would assume I’m thinking about Brave New World orThe Doors of Perception, but I’m actually referring to his work after he moved to the United States in the second half of his life. His essays and lectures are even better than his earlier work. I rediscovered him in the Nineties and he is my actual hero. Everything you read of his is an education.

The book I’m reading

Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson. It’s a trip, moving around from style to style. The novel is loosely based on Greek mythology, but set in modern times. It’s relatable and super interesting. PJ Harvey introduced me to Carson, an intriguing cross between an essayist and a poet.

The book I couldn’t finish

The Perennial Philosophy by Aldous Huxley. Just couldn’t do it.

The book I’m ashamed I haven’t read Ulysses by James Joyce. It just sounds so hard going. I love the idea of it and feel genuinely bad that I haven’t read it, but I do also feel like I know so much about it already. I admire it enough, without feeling the need to put myself through the hassle of reading it.

My favourite film Sergio Leone’s film Once Upon a Time in America. When it was first released, I went to see it a few times and decided then it was the best thing I’d ever seen. I recently saw The End We Start From, starring Jodie Comer. It’s so good. Amazingly, I came away from it with this feeling of triumph of the human spirit. It says a lot about what it means to be human and what we fundamentally need, which is compassion, connection, love and understanding. And Comer is just so believable in the role.

The box set I’m hooked on I’m rewatching Nurse Jackie. There’s so much good stuff out there that whenever I occasionally revisit old, great stuff, you forget how much it stands up. I like anything Edie Falco is in. I also have just rewatched the documentary Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold. I’ve watched it at least three times and whenever someone comes to my place that hasn’t watched it, I watch it with them.

My favourite TV series It has to be Mad Men. One of my friends is eagle-eyed and noticed that when they put an album on a turntable, it has the correct label from the Sixties. That’s crazy.

The film I walked out on

There are loads, often stuff I take my kids to see and they don’t even notice I’d left. I didn’t enjoy Baby Driver — I didn’t like the music in that at all.

I wasted an evening watching Manchester City play in the Champions League final in 2021.

The last movie that made me cry These days I can cry at almost anything so I can’t remember.

The place I feel happiest Running around Brooklyn, over the Williamsburg Bridge. Or around Portland, Oregon. Whenever I’m at those places, I always run unless I’m injured. I’ve done a lot of things in my life, but nothing quite beats that.

My guiltiest cultural pleasure Cheese and onion pasty, chips and peas. Anybody who says that’s not a culture doesn’t know what they are talking about.

If I could own one painting it would be We Two Boys Together Clinging by David Hockney. Any of his work would be a dream to own. Even the iPad stuff is beautiful. I went to see David Hockney: Bigger and Closer at the Lightroom and it was great.

https://www.facebook.com/unbedingtsein/  Südpol. Alles was Künstler touchEd.

Wieso können die wirklich erfolgreichen Künstler nicht auch erfolgreich glücklich sein? Einfach nur sein?

Der Film über Hans Hölz aka Falco berührt mich immer wieder und  wirft die alten Fragen auf, wenn man sich das Leben fast aller Stars aus der Kunst, dem Sport und aus vielen anderen Lebensbereichen ansieht, die besonders im Fokus der Öffentlichkeit stehen... "Hans, ich glaube du hast in deinem Leben zu wenig Liebe gekriegt. Wenn du verletzt bist lässt du dich nicht in die Arme von einem anderen Menschen fallen, sondern ziehst dich in dich selbst zurück, sperrst dich ein und heilst dich mit Alkohol und Drogen. Du bist unsicher in allem was du tust. Du trinkst, weil du Angst hast. Du fürchtest dich vor den Menschen, vor dem Misserfolg. Und wenn Dir Liebe gegegeben wird trittst du sie mit Füßen und behandelst sie wie einen Hund."

Credit to @palais_galliera [Actuellement > #expoCHANEL] "Je suis volontiers couverte de bijoux, parce que sur moi, ils ont toujours l’air faux.", aura déclaré Gabrielle Chanel. Les bijoux tiennent une place essentielle dans la vie et les créations de Gabrielle Chanel. Dès 1937, elle développe avec la Maison Gripoix des bijoux fantaisie inspirés du monde végétal. Fleurs, feuilles, glands et autres motifs sont alors traduits en pâte de verre multicolore, opaque ou translucide. Cette technique est réalisée entièrement à la main par les artisans de la maison parisienne, fondée en 1869. Ces parures font écho aux tenues sophistiquées, empreintes de romantisme, que Chanel présente à la fin des années 1930. Ce bijou est particulier car il représente des camélia, la fleur fétiche de la couturière. Chanel l'utilisera dans toutes ses collections de mode, ou comme ici en joaillerie. - 🇬🇧 : "I like to be covered in jewels, because they always look fake on me. "Gabrielle Chanel said. Jewellery holds an essential place in the life and creations of Gabrielle Chanel. As early as 1937, she developed costume jewellery inspired by the plant world with the Maison Gripoix. Flowers, leaves, acorns and other motifs are then translated into multicoloured, opaque or translucent glass paste. This technique is carried out entirely by hand by the craftsmen of the Parisian company, founded in 1869. These sets echo the sophisticated, romantic outfits that Chanel presented in the late 1930s. This jewel is special because it represents camellias, the designer's favourite flower. Chanel used it in all her fashion collections, or as here in jewellery. _ 📷 : Broche, création CHANEL réalisée par Gripoix, 1937; Paris, Patrimoine de @chanelofficial ; @julienthomashamon ➡️ L'exposition "Gabrielle Chanel.
