Re: [microsound] A plea from Alejandro Jodorowsky

[Ian Guthrie Yeager <iyeager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the Allen Klein beef is just the classic story of artists' works
being controlled by business people, rather than artists. 

Who knows what's going on w/ Klein and Jodorowski, though. If, as
Jodorowski claims, Klein is preventing his movies from being distributed,
then that's definitely a damn shame, his movies are amazing. 
I'd like to see some of his comics as well....

the ego of Jodorowski is a great source of amusement for me:

costumes by Alexandro Jodorowsky!
written and directed by Alexandro Jodorowsky!
music by Alexandro Jodorowsky!
starring Alexandro Jodorowsky!

it's fantastic!

by the way, the music for El Topo was arranged by a guy named Nacho
Mendez. If that name doesn't rule the world , I don't know what does. 
Fucking hell.
