Miami - Riptide 2.0 - Bruce Weber's Liberty City Is Like Paris to Me Debuts on Sundance Channel This Month

Directly from Miami - Riptide 2.0 - Bruce Weber's Liberty City Is Like Paris to Me Debuts on Sundance Channel This Month: "Google Image search 'Bruce Weber,' and it might be easy to dismiss the photographer as a bit obsessed with nudity in black-and-white. After all, Weber is responsible for just about every softcore porn-style image associated with Abercrombie & Fitch, not to mention a few Calvin Klein underwear campaigns. But the part-time Miami resident might be one of the most important active artists that calls the city home.


He's already shown his love for the town by shooting a special edition of L'Uomo Vogue here and bringing the streets of Overtown to the pages of Anna Wintour's ultra-posh American Vogue. But not all of his work is meant to sell pricey attire. He once was responsible for a moving collection of images that captured the story of Haitian immigrants. As a filmmaker, he has directed the Academy Award-nominated documentary Let's Get Lost.


Later this month, the Sundance Channel will premiere his latest short film, Liberty City Is Like Paris to Me. Shot in the neighborhood during Inauguration Day, the film premieres August 27 at midnight on Sundance as part of Bruce Weber Month. The film will also be available online."

please take a moment to Rock the F out to - Iggy & The Stooges

I woke up this morning with Iggy Pop's "I wanna be your dog" [posted below] stuck in my head, which meant I was ready to rock the instant I got up. I think it was due to the fact I've been thinking about Iggy for the past week since he's on the cover of The Miami New Times this week and gives a positively fantastic interview and shares his feelings on the state of rock and roll.

A few summer's ago I was at Gardener's Market in South Miami picking up lunch when I spotted a gentleman that looked a lot like Mr. Pop. I went to the hardware store next door to get a key copied, and as I fidgeted in line I said aloud "OMG that was Iggy Pop what the fudge are you still doing here." As I rushed back to Gardener's he was checking out as I walked in, I was so overwhelmed and busy wondering what the King of Punk was was doing in The 305, let alone in my favorite haunt that I didn't know what to say to him as I approached him. Coincidentally I was wearing a Stooges t-shirt that day [I was taking a History of Rock course during the summer along with an actual requirement,] and he pointed right at my chest and said "Hey that's me!" I chatted him up after that and will never get over how cool he was, or the fact that he was wearing a a suit vest as a top, a pair of shorts that most likely were pants at some point and a single flip flop. Now ladies and germs enjoy...
