I've shot this Gold Medal Flour Ghost Ad several times since it was first exposed last year after the old Montgomery Wards Department Store was razed in Downtown New Kensington. Something of significance in this ad, is the company that painted it, Thomas Cusack Co. Thomas Cusack (1858 - 1926) emigrated with his family in 1861 during An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) more commonly, but mistakenly known as the "Irish Potato Famine" when he was 3 years old. He would grow up to be known as the Billboard Baron. Cusack became incredibly rich from a sign painting business that he started when he was just 17 years old!

Limerick Olympic Legends Reunion 2012Short Press Release.May 23rd 2012.Limerick Athletics to honour Olympic Legends.2012 is the year of the London Olympic Games and it is unlikely they will be staged as close to Limerick again. Limerick is well established as a European City of Sport, but it also has a long tradition of Olympian athletes locally, stretching back prior to the birth of the Free State. Three of Limerick’s most famous athletes Frank O’Mara, Mick O’Shea and Niall O’Shaughnessy, will return from the USA to join their Irish based Olympic colleagues, in a unique reunion in the Clarion Hotel on Saturday evening next the 26th May. Limerick’s first Olympic athlete to compete for Ireland was John O’Grady of Ballybricken who competed in Paris in 1924 and he was also the first flag bearer of an Irish Olympic team. To this day the O’Grady monument at the Fairgreen stands in his memory. At the Amsterdam Games in 1928, Denis Cussen of Newcastlewest, capped fifteen times for Ireland in rugby, competed in the 100m. The period 1964 to 2000 was a golden era for Limerick with local athletes involved in every Games except for 1996. Jim Hogan born in Athlacca, was the first of this group and he ran in the 10,000m and the marathon for Ireland in Tokyo 1964 and then ran for Great Britain in Mexico four years later in 1968. Two former pupils of St Munchin’s College, once a famed athletic nursery, Niall O’Shaughnessy of Adare and Neil Cusack ran in Montreal in 1972, with Cusack running again four years later in 1976 in the famous Munich Games competing in the marathon. Mick O’Shea from Clare Street was the sole Limerick athlete in the 5000m in Moscow 1980. Frank O’Mara, another student of St Munchin’s College - and Limerick’s greatest Olympian of modern times, competed in the next three Olympic Games in Barcelona 1984 in the 1500m, Seoul 1988 in the 5000m and Los Angeles in 1992 also in the 5000m. Barbara Johnson of Rathkeale also competed in Seoul in 1988 in the 400m hurdles. Finally in Sydney in 2000, Limerick again had two athletes competing Rosemary Ryan in the 5000m and Tom Comyns in the 4x100m relay.Thanks to the dedicated work of a new generation of local coaches in clubs like Limerick AC, Dooneen AC and Emerald AC, track and field athletics is making a strong return in popularity around Limerick. The upsurge in recreational running has also provided an opportunity to promote running, get athletics into local schools as an attractive sport option, increase local athletic club membership and improve public health levels.Supported by Shannon Development, Limerick Corporation and the County Council a further aim of this initiative is to develop a series of Olympic trails around the city and county. Kevin O’Connor of Limerick European City of Sport explained that “each trail will be named after a Limerick Olympic legends to encourage running especially among younger children and in schools. Limerick is fortunate to have a potential network of top class running trails and with clear branding and strong promotion it will be a major boost for the sport locally”The concept has been received very well by Athletics Ireland and the Olympic Council of Ireland. City of Sport status has provided a significant positive boost to the image and the economy of Limerick building on the success of Rugby, GAA, Soccer and the facilities at the University of Limerick, Ireland’s premier sports campus. Associating these trails with the Limerick’s most famous Olympians of the modern era is a strong reminder of our rich athletic Olympic heritage. Several athletes were members of Ireland’s oldest athletic club – Limerick AC founded in 1877, although one of Ireland’s most eminent sports historians Ronnie Long, has uncovered new evidence that it may have been founded as early as 1873. Saturday night next will see a large gathering of Ireland’s leading athletic lights from past and present descent on the Clarion Hotel to honour some of Ireland’s greatest Olympic athletes.

This is 45th and The Strand.
John Cusack's character in the 2007 film "1408" lives in Hermosa Beach, CA. These are the locations of the establishing shots from the film.
This private residence in the city of Glendale was the location used as exchange student Monique's home in the 1985 romantic comedy "Better Off Dead" (top).
This home is located at 1633 Virginia Avenue, Glendale.
At a literal level, the events in this film are preposterous. An Englishman (Michael Jayston) on a European vacation with his wife (Vivien Merchant), stops off to visit his family before returning home to the American college where he teaches. Less than a day after he arrives, his brothers (Ian Holm, Terrence Rigby) are making love to her in his presence and the former, a pimp, suggests that he set her up as a call-girl. After a bit of dickering, she agrees, her husband acquiesces, and she takes over as head of this very troubled household . . . Oh, and her husband's uncle drops dead at her feet in the last scene.
But It seems unlikely that Pinter meant the thing to be taken literally. This is The Battle of The Sexes writ large. In this telling, the woman wins, but only by degrading herself and heartlessly manipulating the worst instincts of the men around her. They degrade themselves by giving into their desire for cruelty and domination. Ironically, the passive husband may actually be a ray of hope--there's a suggestion, particularly in the final scene, that the relationship between these two is about something other than control and brutality.
The film was directed by Peter Hall, who had helmed the original 1964 stage production for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and most of the original actors are present as well, the only newcomers being Jayston, in the role of the husband, and Cyril Cusack as the ill-fated uncle, who fit in with ease. And what a terrifying and pathetic lot they are, particularly Paul Rogers as the awful father and Ian Holm as the slick, brutal pimp. As the woman who moves in and takes over their lives, Vivien Merchant glides through with an elegant, terrifying surface ease and a cynical eye for the weaknesses in almost everyone she meets. Hall's direction is spare and brutally focused, helped by David Watkin's cool, stripped-down cinematography. One of the most amazing stage-to-film transfers ever done.

BAP KENNEDY BAND
IRLANDA/USA
Per molti cantautori del pianeta, l’idea di collaborare con Mark Knopfler resterebbe nel campo della fantasia. Ma per Bap Kennedy si tratta solo dell’ultimo anello di una lunga catena di progetti con personaggi di alto profilo, leggende musicali degne del massimo rispetto. Per un uomo che ha lavorato con Steve Earle e Van Morrison, giusto per fare qualche nome, l’offerta di registrare un disco nello studio privato del frontman dei Dire Straits è stata un’ulteriore pietra miliare. The Sailor's Revenge, l’album scritto da Kennedy e prodotto da Knopfler mostra una capacità compositiva che cresce ad ogni ascolto, grazie anche, e non poteva essere diversamente, all’inconfondibile, deliziosa chitarra di Knopfler e alla sua produzione a tutto campo.
Il primo contatto di Bap con l’industria discografica è in qualità di chitarra ritmica, voce e scrittura dei pezzi per i rockers di Belfast Energy Orchard, con cui registra cinque album. Quando la band lascia Belfast, diventerà una delle leggende della scena live londinese.
Ed è proprio mentre è negli Energy Orchard che Kennedy si trova a collaborare col compatriota Van Morrison, che dà al gruppo la possibilità di aprire i suoi concerti nei tumultuosi tour tra Europa e Stati Uniti.
Allo scioglimento degli Energy Orchard, Bap ha poco tempo per riposarsi, visto che la superstar del country alternativo, e loro fan di lunga data, Steve Earle, lo contatta subito proponendosi quale produttore del suo primo album. Kennedy è ovviamente d’accordo e ben presto si trova su un aereo per Nashville, Tennessee, dove registra Domestic Blues. Earle parla di Bap come “Il miglior compositore di canzoni che abbia mai sentito”, e nel disco appaiono molti nomi di primo piano della scena di Nashville, tra cui Jerry Douglas, Peter Rowan e Nanci Griffith.
L’album è un successo, tra i primi dieci nella classifica “Americana” di Billboard. La canzone di Kennedy Vampire entrerà nella colonna sonora della pellicola hollywoodiana Conta su di me – che si aggiudica due premi al prestigioso Sundance Film Festival e riceve due nomination per gli Oscar – mentre tre canzoni dell’album saranno utilizzate per il classico cult Southie.
Il successivo Lonely Street è un progetto artistico basato su, e dedicato a due eroi musicali dell’infanzia di Bap: Hank Williams e Elvis Presley. Musica per amore della musica, che si riflette nelle risposte positive che arrivano dai critici di importanti riviste come Q e Mojo. Ancora una volta, il lavoro di Kennedy trova posto in una colonna sonora di Hollywood, con la ballata Moonlight Kiss, in una delle scene chiave di Serendipity (con gli attori John Cusack e Kate Beckinsale).
The Big Picture segna il ritorno alla collaborazione con Van Morrison, entusiasta di Kennedy sin dai tempi degli Energy Orchard. Il disco è registrato infatti nello studio dello stesso Morrison, e contiene un pezzo scritto da tutt’e due: Milky Way. Ospite alle voci Shane Magowan dei Pogues, nella canzone On the Mighty Ocean Alcohol, e un reading da Carolyn Cassady, una delle figure di spicco della generazione beat degli scrittori americani, alla fine del bellissimo Moriarty’s Blues. Ancora eccellenti recensioni di Mojo e altre riviste, a conferma della reputazione di Kennedy che cresce ad ogni sua uscita discografica.
Il tempo che segue la pubblicazione di The Big Picture segna profondi cambiamenti nella personalità dell’artista, sia a livello professionale che di vita.
Comincia a collaborare con Mark Knopfler, e appare come ospite nei suoi tour negli Stati Uniti e in Europa, tra cui cinque serate alla Royal Albert Hall. È in questo periodo che Kennedy incontra la futura moglie, Brenda Boyd, anche lei artista e cantautrice che ha scritto numerosi libri sull’autismo e la sindrome di Asperger. Bap ha prodotto l’album di Brenda Banish the Blue Days.
For Howl On, del 2009, vede Bap registrare nella nativa Irlanda del Nord per la prima volta nella sua carriera solista e, come in Lonely Street, ritorna a scrivere una serie di canzoni su un soggetto che lo ha affascinato da quando era bambino. Questa volta si tratta di uno sguardo all’amore giovanile per tutto ciò che è americano, come la storia dell’atterraggio sulla luna, non ritratta dal punto di vista tecnologico ma come momento nelle vite delle persone reali che hanno lavorato al programma Apollo. È questa una raccolta di vicende umane legate appunto dalla storia dell’Apollo, di cui Kennedy ci parla meravigliosamente.
Seguono tour di successo nel Regno Unito e in Europa, culminanti con la memorabile performance al festival di Glastonbury. Bap continua il suo tour aggiungendo ulteriori date, tra cui il rinomato Belfast/Nashville festival e, in America, l’altrettanto prestigioso South by Southwest festival. Bap ha l’onore di diventare in questi giorni padrino di Autism NI, in cui è coinvolto tramite la moglie Brenda.
The Sailor’s Revenge vede Kennedy proporre una scrittura matura e sofisticata, impreziosita dal riconoscibilissimo lavoro chitarristico di Mark Knopfler, che ne è anche produttore, e da musicisti di studio di alta qualità come Jerry Douglas e Glenn Worf.
