Another page from the ACME Catalog -
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the program with the 1960 Foghorn Leghorn Looney Tunes cartoon, The Dixie Fryer:
The cartoon is the second to feature the chicken hawks, Pappy and Elvis.
Former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters was constantly asked in 1989 about the possibility of restaging his massive hit, The Wall. Waters finally joked that he’d only do so on one condition. “If they ever take the wall down in Berlin,” he said. “I’ll put it on there as an act of celebration of that bit of freeing of the human spirit.” In November of 1989, it happened. And Waters kept his word, staging an expansive, all-star production at Potsdamer Platz in East Berlin on July 21, 1990.
Today we are watching the broadcast of the production of The Wall that evening in Germany, featuring Sinead O'Connor, Bryan Adams, Phil Collins, Cyndi Lauper (and Roger Waters) among others, taking part in the benefit show.
Given that less than a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the chants of “Tear down the wall!” at the end of “The Trial” seem to have been prescient.
Demand Euphoria!
