On the topic of Bruce’s retrievers, his film, A Letter to True released sometime back in 2004 offers a glimpse into the world of his retrievers and life. More serious undertones are also present like aiding Haitian refugees and how the September 11 attacks affected him as well as other sub-themes. This film does get a love/hate reaction from people sometimes.

Trailer for A Letter to True. Beautiful.

Venus In Furs
August 24th, 2009

Scenes from the making of Piero Heliczer’s film, Venus In Furs (1965), starring The Velvet Underground in a plot “where a nun and a nurse go to hell because of their sinful life at St Vincent’s hospital”, or, “a chess game under the bridge becomes a Christmas party in hell”. The Velvets run through “Heroin” and “Venus In Furs”, with Piero on saxophone. The film is sadly lost to time/tide so we’ll never know how well it went.

Dylan In Liverpool
August 23rd, 2009

liverpoolbob Bob Dylan, by Barry Feinstein: “I asked if he wanted a photo with them and he said sure, so we found a doorway of this old warehouse. The kids were just playing in the street; they just got in there wherever they could stand. They posed themselves and it became a famous picture. The BBC tracked all the kids down recently and recreated the shot. None of them knew who Bob was. It reminds me of the Art Kane Great Day In Harlem shot with all the jazz guys.”

Barry Feinstein’s photos of Bob Dylan on his infamous 1966 tour of England are now collected in Real Moments: Photographs of Bob Dylan 1966 – 1974. They’re also on view at London’s National Portrait Gallery now.
