Humor: W.C. Fields, Juggler to Comic Genius by Mark Tulin

Humor: W.C. Fields, Juggler to Comic Genius by Mark Tulin

One of my favorite Philly comics…W.C. Fields. He had a love/hate relationship with the City of Brotherly Love, but in the end, he preferred Philly. Here’s an essay on one of the great pioneers of humor. Photo of Philadelphia City Hall by Mark Tulin. W.C. Fields: Juggler to Comic Genius.

Veertig jaar geleden: hebjetgezien?

Vlaanderen zendt zijn zonen uit, want het houdt niet van kinderen. Drs.P. zit aan de schrijfmachine naast me. Ik had Heinz Polzer nog nooit ontmoet, maar blijkbaar loopt het in Vlaanderen vol met doctorandi P. Jammer genoeg heeft niet iedereen het taalgevoel van Polzer (mijn gebuur wél, er wordt hier wat afgelachen als hij weer een tekst van een collega herschrijft – maar kom, zijn Bob Woodward…

Come Up and See Me Sometime…

I'm curious about pop icons. For earlier eras, a single phrase immediately identified a single person, a skirt blown up by a passing subway below said Marilyn, a face with a lightening bolt makeup was Bowie.

Somehow I got to be this age before I ever really noticed Sammy Kaye. A chance interview from the mid-70s made me wonder how that happened: Sammy Kaye was a top-tier star of the Swing Era, and I'm not unfamiliar with Swing, yet the name, if it ever came up, was glossed over, I had no recordings, not even in Various Artists complilations. Intrigued, I looked up the movie Sammy mentioned, endorsing it for the artistic freedom and respect it afforded the band

and yes, that's your Star Wars intro, on a film released on D-Day 1944.

But, being curious, I asked my 25 year old (who has led many a swing band) and no, never heard of him. Really. What about W.C.Fields?

And there I got my Future Shock. W.C. who? Ok, well, Edgar Bergen then? Blanks. A paper I read on music history had pondered this, as to why some artists are remembered as iconic for their time but not the many eligible others, the many who were as honoured, sometimes more, by their era. The paper concluded the 20th Century would likely be identified as the era of Bob Dylan.

Here in the 21st century, who are our cultural symbols? Who are the pop icons so distinctive and ubiquitous that a single phrase, a graphic line, a gesture or a feature of their face even badly drawn instantly recalls who they are?

"Deixe que as pessoas tenham suas opiniões.

Mas nunca se iluda a ponto de acreditar que precisa da benção

(ou mesmo da compreensão) de alguém para fazer o próprio trabalho criativo. E lembre-se sempre de que os julgamentos que as pessoas fazem de você não são da sua conta. Finalmente, lembre-se do que W.C.Fields tinha a dizer

a respeito disso: 'O importante não é como os outros o chamam,

mas sim os nomes a que você responde' ".

Elizabeth Gilbert
