Peter Tork and George Harrison at Kinfauns, 5 July 1967; photos from Flip magazine.
“The first time I met a Beatle… I met George Harrison at Cass Elliot’s. I was going with Cass Elliot’s sister at the time, and we — she said — my then-girlfriend, Leah, called her sister Cass: ‘Well, George is coming over, but don’t you guys come over here.’ And we went over anyway. [laughs] Don’t tell us that. So we went over and met George Harrison, told him about that. And I was a little intimidated [laughs], to exaggerate mildly. Understatement… I was just — I was completely flustered, I was totally star-struck.” - Peter Tork, WGLD radio interview, 1999
“When I first met George, I was dating Mama Cass’s sister, and she was staying at Cass’s. We heard George was coming over to visit Cass, so we looked at each other and Cass said, ‘Stay away!’ We said, ‘Yeah, as if, not bloody likely!’ I had already been cast for The Monkees television show, but we hadn’t started production yet. So I got to say hi to him. Later on, when The Monkees played England in the summer of ‘67, The Beatles had a party at a club, and we arranged to meet them. George invited me and a member of our crew, Bill Chadwick, to go hang with him the next day. We went up to his place and spent the afternoon.” - Peter Tork, Pop Culture Examiner, 24 November 2011
"At George's house, Peter and George exchanged thoughts on the sitar and got along like old friends." - Ric Klein, Flip, November 1967
“[George] was kind enough to invite me and my pal Bill Chadwick out to his house, and to take us to visit Ringo later that day. He was as kind and as gentle a man as you could imagine.” - Peter Tork, Liverpool Echo, 28 November 2011 (x)
(Stay tuned for more about the Harrison-Tork musical connection later this year.)

Peter Tork and June Millington (one of the founders of the rock group Fanny), 2012.
Janis Ian and June Millington on Peter...
“In mourning for Peter Tork, one of the kindest people I’ve ever known, who was so gracious and so good to me when I was starting out. It’s testimony to the man that his family asks donations to be made to Institute for the Musical Arts, founded by June Millington and Ann Hackler to support women and girls in music. Lovely man, and a sad day to know he’s gone.” - Janis Ian, Facebook, February 22, 2019
“Thank you Peter Tork and family for your incredibly powerful gesture in suggesting that people make a donation to IMA’s ‘In the Names of Our Mothers’ fund, in support women and girls in music. Especially in these times, so meaningful ~ you will be remembered here for generations! Thing is, you’ve been such a good friend to me (us) over the years, and continue to give. That is a true testament to your soul, and your spirit. Love you always, xx June” - June Millington, Facebook, February 23, 2019
“I met him [Peter] here in Massachusetts through our really great friend Leah Kunkel. […] And they were really good friends since Peter and John Sebastian and Leah, Mama Cass… were in the Village […] And Peter did a benefit for us once […], for IMA. […] And he did record here as well. […] Peter was here a few months before he died, he came to actually record that last song that he put out with The Monkees [‘Angels We Have Heard On High,’ from Christmas Party; the instrumental track, featuring Peter on banjo, was originally from A Beachwood Christmas, 2003]. […] I wish I could have recorded him for my podcast because he told me a few stories which I love so much. [...] He played a great piano, which I didn’t know until the last time he was here. He swung by the piano and he — even though he was sick and he didn’t have much energy — he sat down and he played some brilliant classical piece. I’m like, ‘Peter, I didn’t know you played the piano!’ And he said, ‘Oh. Yeah.’ And I said, ‘How did that come about?’ He said, ‘Oh, I took lessons.’ So his parents definitely wanted him to be, shall we say, cultured, and have… you know, to play piano, the have a college degree and all of that. […] He was such a smart guy, he was so funny, he was so funny, he would be quipping all the time, you know. And it was, the last couple of years were a little bit of a slog for him because the cancer was coming back and it was really trying to get him. But he — he kept his humor intact the whole time. He was really a very generous, and he was a super-funny guy. That’s my biggest impression of him, is how giving he was. And he wanted to support IMA, the Institute for the Musical Arts, which is a nonprofit that supports women and girls in music by passing on what we know. So we do rock ‘n’ roll girls camp […], lessons — everything is being passed on to future generations. So it’s the only organization of its kind in the world where we are really hands on passing it on. And he just loved that. Like, he sent his daughter here — his wife had, you know, had a daughter, so they sent her here to one of our rock ‘n’ roll girl camps. So he put his money and his time where his mouth was, you know. […] So he was always trying to think of ways that he could help. He recorded here. You know, as I said, he was super-generous. He had a heart of gold, I gotta say. Super heart of gold. And he and Leah remained really good friends, really good friends until, you know, the last days. […] He was so smart. He was on top of current affairs, you know; he had so many jokes at the top of his fingers. […] He was a super-talented guy. […] Go to IMA dot org to take a look at this place. Peter realized the value. He loved passing it on. And he loved being around women and working with women, there’s no, you know (laughs), there’s no other way I could say it: he loved women. And he wanted to help, you know. And he let us know that, boy, he wanted to help and he did help.” - Plastic EP, 2021

The importance of interpretation, with its implicit acknowledgment of complexity and diversity, the need to be curious and to ask questions, is deeply valued in Jewish culture. The words we use — these, too, change everything. Do we say unprovoked attacks or resistance to decades of brutal oppression? Do we say terrorists or militants? Illegal occupation or self-preservation? In other words, real-time midrashim — the frenzied, adrenaline-fueled contemporaneous framings of what is unfolding right now — pit wildly disparate interpretations against one another. The single common thread running through many, if not most, of these stories may be fury. Fury born of moral certitude and of the conviction that anyone offering a different interpretation from ours must be blind or monstrous or both.

In the seemingly idyllic town of Rundle Junction, Bennie and Walter are preparing to host the wedding of their eldest daughter Clem. A marriage ceremony at their beloved, rambling home should be the happiest of occasions, but Walter and Bennie have a secret. A new community has moved to Rundle Junction, threatening the social order and forcing Bennie and Walter to confront uncomfortable truths about the lengths they would go to maintain harmony.
Meanwhile, Aunt Glad, the oldest member of the family, arrives for the wedding plagued by long-buried memories of a scarring event that occurred when she was a boy in Rundle Junction. As she uncovers details about her role in this event, the family begins to realize Clem’s wedding may not be exactly what it seemed. Clever, passionate, artistic Clem has her own agenda. What she doesn’t know is that by the end, everyone will have roles to play in this richly-imagined ceremony of familial connection – a brood of quirky relatives, effervescent college friends, ghosts emerging from the past, a determined little mouse, and even the very group of new neighbors whose presence has shaken Rundle Junction to its core.

Ce qui se répète plus souvent qu’à son tour, c’est la possibilité. L’occasion. La probabilité. Le terrain est préparé, les conditions coïncident, les étoiles sont alignées, la masse critique est atteinte. Ce qui arrive alors bascule dans un sens. Ou un autre. L’erreur impardonnable d’une génération devient l’amnistie de la suivante. Là où ça sent le roussi pour une génération, la suivante saute dedans à pieds joints. Les jérémiades sans fin d’une génération deviennent la meilleure rigolade de la suivante. Les mêmes fils refont surface encore et encore mais le tissage est truffé de variations, de tessellations, de transformations. Aucun motif ne se répète textuellement.
C’est l’extase de la vie. Extase, du grec ancien ek, hors de, et histanai, rester en place. Extase : l’état de ne pas être fixé, ne pas être entravé, ne pas être gravé dans le marbre.
Savoir qu’on est perpétuellement en mouvement.
C’est ça le bonheur.

Leah Has Joined the Lawsuit Bandwagon
Tumblr media
Leah McSweeney has joined the bandwagon of suing Bravo, and she’s accusing Andy Cohen of pressuring the women to take cocaine with him.
Sha has filed a lawsuit against Andy and claimed that Bravo “preyed on her alcoholism.”
She accused Andy of “snorting cocaine with his favourite Housewives” and gives special professional favours to them.
Honestly, I wasn’t shocked by this even if Page Six called it a bombshell of a lawsuit.
Kathy Griffin accused Andy of snorting cocaine years ago, but it seems like people didn’t listen to her.
And favouritism is not a secret either. Vicki Gunvalson, Teresa Giudice, and Kyle Richards are some of his favourites.
But Andy is fighting back. He claims that Leah is trying to “force an unjustified settlement”.
Leah went on to claim that Bravo are “run by people who create a dangerous work environment, encourage substance abuse to artificially create drama and cynically prey on the vulnerabilities of their employees.”
Leah used the episode “Scary Island” as an example in her lawsuit and claimed that the producers wanted her as a “potential successor” to Kelly Bensimon.
Well, Kelly didn’t appreciate the comparison.
She thinks that Leah implies that she was “under the influence of drugs or going through a mental ill-health episode.”
That she and Leah were exploited by Bravo. But she doesn’t feel like that.
“I’m not a victim. I’m nobody’s victim.”
And honestly? I actually regret ever being a fan of Leah as a housewife.
She has caused nothing but trouble and negativity, and I’m tired of her complaints.
Is the younger generation of housewives joining the show to be celebrities? It doesn’t seem like they’re following the rules or playing the game right.
Monica Garcia said in a leaked audio that she wouldn’t reduce herself to Bravo, she wants to be the next Kim Kardashian.
Kenya Moore claimed that Bravo allows just about anybody to become a housewife now, it’s not an appreciated achievement anymore.
And all Leah has done since RHONY got cancelled is pointing fingers and blaming others for her own failures. I’m so done with her.

Peter Tork and Leah Cohen on the set of The Monkees; photo 1 published in KRLA Beat.
“[Leah] and I got together as a result of meeting up at Cass’ house, and Leah is still one of my very best friends and lives about 75 minutes away from here up in Massachusetts and married Russ Kunkel, the fabulous folk-rock drummer, and had a couple of kids, including Nathaniel Kunkel, one of the great engineers/producers in America today. My first solo album [Stranger Things Have Happened], I used Cass’ daughter, Owen, and John Phillips’ daughter, Mackenzie, as background singers on a song, and you can hear it, it sounds like the Mamas and the Papas back there. It’s fabulous.” - Peter Tork, Rolling Stone, 2007, published February 2019

Andy Cohen: Unmasking the Other Side of the Bravo King
Tumblr media
For years, Andy Cohen has reigned as the King of Bravo, charming viewers with his with and humor as the face of the network. From his connections with various series stars to his entertaining hosting gigs alongside Anderson Cooper, he appeared to be well-liked and respected. However, recent revelations have shed light on a different side of Andy, leaving us a bit concerned. 
It all started with Bethenny Frankel, who boldly called out her former boss, sharing her own negative experiences. But she's not the only one. Former housewives seem to be stepping forward with their own nightmare stories. Is Andy hiding away with a homemade burn book, or is he taking it all in stride while enjoying a shot ski in the clubhouse?
Leah McSweeney, a former Bravo personality, is the latest to join the chorus of lawsuits against Andy, Bravo Media, NBC Universal Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, production company Shed Media US, and individual producers. In her 109-page document filled in the Southern District of New York, Leah alleges a 'rotted' workplace culture and a failure to provide a safe environment for her disabilities, including alcohol use disorder and mental health disorders. The bombshell accusation that caught everyone's attention was the claim of drug use. Leah accuses Andy of engaging in cocaine use with Housewives and other Bravo celebrities, deliberately promoting a culture of drug and alcohol abuse within the workplace. 
This lawsuit instantly brought to mind a 2017 video where Kathy Griffin recounted her encounters with Andy. Kathy labeled him a 'miserable boss' who relished in "taking women down". She revealed that Andy had privately offered her cocaine before a performance of Watch What Happens Live. Although Kathy admits she initially thought he was joking, a similar offer was made during another appearance on the show. While Kathy's allegations lack concrete evidence, they strike a chord with many fans who can easily imagine them being true.
Even Brandi Glanville's lawyers have gotten involved, sending a letter to Warner Bros., NBC universal, and Shed Media. The letter alleges that Andy sent Brandi recorded messages expressing his desire to sleep with a particular Bravo star in 2022. According to the letter, Andy appeared intoxicated in the video, and they claim it was a form of sexual harassment. Andy has since issued an apology, stating that it was a joke. While Brandi appeared in on the joke, he acknowledges that it was inappropriate.As the curtain is pulled back on Andy Cohen's empire, we can't help but wonder what else lies beneath the surface. Will more former housewives step forward with their own tales? Only time will tell. For now, the Bravo King finds himself facing a new reality, one that challenges the beloved image he has carefully crafted over the years.

As a fan of Bravo...
A brief post about recent news of Andy Cohen being sued by Leah McSweeney with the understanding that I have a bias viewpoint as I am a fan of Bravo.....
Whether or not Andy Cohen does cocaine should have no part in this discussion. Drugs of any kind should not be weaponized against someone's character. Leah has chosen to disclose her struggles with alcoholism. She's also chosen sobriety. It is up to her as an adult women and an incredibly successful business person to set her own boundaries when it comes to that sobriety. If she feels an environment threatens that, she should speak up in that moment and/or extract herself from that situation. I'm not saying it's easy. Nothing about addiction is. But it is paramount to her recovery not blame others for "promoting" or "encouraging" an environment not conducive to her needs.
With that said, we can all benefit to understand that NBC, Bravo, and almost all big name production companies have one goal... to make money. Bravo doesn't care about their talent any more than any other company would care about their employees, which is to say they care very little. I'll spare my thoughts on late stage capitalism for another day, and say this: If Leah wants to stick it to the man I support he 100%. Get whatever settlement you can!
If she wants to drag a man's reputation in the progress, I'd think twice in how she goes about that. Remember Andy is a father and likely wants to shield his child from this as much as you want to shield your daughter from your past wrongdoings. (*I acknowledge that I do not know the entirety of what went on between Andy and Leah and we should inherently believe women and investigate if something happened.)
Whatever Leah chooses to do here, I support her. But know this, Leah: None of this is making you look good in the public eye.
Also why is Kathy Griffin getting involved at all?

From the DM:
"Meanwhile Meghan's show will also have some serious talent behind it. It will be directed by Michael Steed who worked on Anthony Bourdain's Emmy-winning Parts Unknown, and among the behind-the-camera staff is Leah Hariton, the showrunner for Selena Gomez's HBO cooking show, 'Selena + Chef.' The film permit obtained by DailyMail.com reveals that Alex Dandino, the production manager of that same show is also involved in Meghan's entry into the culinary world, raising the possibility that she too will be joined by professional chefs for a cook-a-long."
Bourdain's former crew member as director and Selena's current showrunner and PM? Meghan doesn't have a single original thought in that head of hers. Surrounding herself with the talented staff of other talented and charismatic people won't suddenly make her talented and charismatic, as well. Just ask Liz Garbus, Spotify's Bill Simmons ("f***ing grifters"), UTA's Jerry Zimmer (MM's "not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent at all"), or Samantha Cohen. Perhaps Corey will join her for a cook-along segment? He'll already be familiar with her recipes, since she "borrowed" them from him.
