EVERLYPEDIA (formerly The Everly Brothers Index – TEBI) Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik EVERLYPEDIA PART 2 E to J Contact us re any omissions, corrections, amendments and/or additional information at: [email protected] E______________________________________________ EARL MAY SEED COMPANY - see: MAY SEED COMPANY, EARL and also KMA EASTWOOD, CLINT – Born 31st May 1930. There is a huge quantity of information about Clint Eastwood his life and career on numerous websites, books etc. We focus mainly on his connection to The Everly Brothers and in particular to Phil Everly plus brief overview of his career. American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965). He rose to fame for playing the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy of spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) during the 1960s, and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool) during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with several others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). These films in particular, as well as others including Play Misty for Me (1971), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Pale Rider (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Bridges of Madison County (1995) and Gran Torino (2008), have all received commercial success and critical acclaim.

Mark Irwin House of Shattering Glass
Mark Irwin House of shattering glass On July 10th 1962 the Telstar communications satellite was launched and on that same day live television pictures originating in the United States were received in France. In October 1962 maverick independent record producer Joe Meek had a massive chart hit with the Tornados’ “Telstar”. Joe Meek changed the face of popular music and defined the role of the pop producer for decades to come. This paper will examine examples of his work and his pioneering approach to music production. Telstar It was number one in the UK charts the day I was born (7.10.62). It also became the first single by a British pop group to reach number 1 in the US charts. It was also Margaret Thatcher’s favourite record. [Audio example: play Telstar] Telstar (the name a homage to the Bell Laboratories designed and AT & T and NASA funded communications satellite launched on July 10th, 1962) by the Tornadoes is unquestionably the best-known recording by maverick pop producer Joe Meek. Meek defined the role of the independent pop record producer for decades to come and his influence is keenly felt in the genre to this day. Meek released over 300 records in his short career, 45 of which were top 50 hits. Addicted to slimming pills, obsessed with the occult and attracted to young men at a time when gay relationships were frowned upon even within the music industry, Meek lived the rock and roll life style long before it became ‘cool’. As Andy Partridge from the band XTC said, “Meek spoke to the dead and heard music from other planets, making number one hit records in his kitchen”.

An indispensable classic that defines the indefinable.” –John Zorn “Chusid takes us through the musical looking glass to the other side of the bizarro universe, where pop spelled back- wards is . pop? A fascinating collection of wilder cards and beyond-avant talents.” –Lenny Kaye Irwin Chusid “This book is filled with memorable characters and their preposterous-but-true stories. As a musicologist, essayist, and humorist, Irwin Chusid gives good value for your enter- tainment dollar.” –Marshall Crenshaw Outsider musicians can be the product of damaged DNA, alien abduction, drug fry, demonic possession, or simply sheer obliviousness. But, believe it or not, they’re worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies. Irwin Chusid is a record producer, radio personality, journalist, and music historian. He hosts the Incorrect Music Hour on WFMU; he has produced dozens of records and concerts; and he has written for The New York Times, Pulse, New York Press, and many other publications. $18.95 (CAN $20.95) ISBN 978-1-55652-372-4 51895 9 781556 523724 SONGS IN THE KEY OF Z Songs in the Key of Z THE CURIOUS UNIVERSE OF O U T S I D E R MUSIC ¥ Irwin Chusid Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Chusid, Irwin.
