A Night with Lou Reed

1 hr 0 mins

Lou Reed was by this time a shell of his former subversive Velvet Underground and early solo self, and the band is a slightly more standard rock band. However, the interplay between Quine and Reed recalls Quine's Voidoids work and of course Reed and Sterling Morrison play off each other in spectacular fashion, which is probably best heard on the Live Matrix Tapes boxset. Lou Reed delivers a set that is a mixture of his Velvet Underground standards, such as "Sweet Jane," "I'm Waiting for the Man," "Rock and Roll," "White Light/White Heat" and solo hits like "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Satellite of Love." "Walk on the Wild Side" recently was embroiled in an absolutely insane controversy when it was played at the University of Guelph student union. It was considered "transphobic" by some "activist" students, when it's the complete opposite - Reed was dating a transgender woman at the time of the song, mysteriously only known as Rachel.

Shirley MacLaine: Kicking Up Her Heels

1 hr 0 mins

Born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1934, Shirley MacLaine was the product of a strict middle-class background from which she and her brother, the future actor Warren Beatty, escaped into the fantasy world of show-biz. Her ballet training and her long-legged pixie charm led to rapid success on Broadway in musical comedy. Inevitably, Hollywood called and by 1955 Shirley was cast in Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry. It wasn't too long before the fine dramatic roles also came to her opposite the most popular leading men of the time, like Fred MacMurray, Jack Lemmon, Frank Sinatra, Clint Eastwood and Robert Mitchum. But Shirley was not only known for her capacity to play opposite major male stars, she also soon made it clear that women had equal importance for her, both as fellow players and as real life friends. These women included Audrey Hepburn, Julia Roberts, and former Congresswoman Bella Abzug. It was apparent that this once perky "gypsy" of Broadway would leave her mark as one of the finest actresses of her day, an Academy-Award winner, who is ready and able to tackle any role that seems equal to her intelligence and talent. Her widely varied interests encompass the political, the literary and the mystical.

Alien Contact: Ancient Gods of Man

1 hr 10 mins

While Ancient Aliens may not have actually built the staggering ancient monuments that seemingly couldn't be built today with modern means, they likely influenced them. From Baalbek to Egypt and beyond, we are just now starting to make new discoveries long over due and the evidence is overwhelming. Our interaction with Aliens from other worlds pre dates the current historical records and researchers are uncovering more evidence than ever before of the true history of the world. It may turn out that we have been the Aliens all along, as the human species stands alone in its evolutionary apex of sentient creatures on the planet, while also proving to be the most destructive. Will the gods return one day to see what's become of their progeny? Many believe so and that one day, perhaps soon, we will all come face to face with our true origins.
