Hence the broad title of the new Mas­ter­class <a href="https://masterclass.pxf.io/3PvdoM" rel="nofollow">“Metal­li­ca Teach­es Being a Band.”</a>&nbsp;Hav­ing been a band for 40 years now, they pre­sum­ably know more than a lit­tle about every­thing involved in that enter­prise: not just record­ing hit albums like <em>Mas­ter of Pup­pets</em> and songs like “Enter Sand­man,” but also&nbsp;weath­er­ing dra­mat­ic changes in both the music busi­ness and pop­u­lar cul­ture while coop­er­at­ing for the good of the group.</p> <p>Not that, to the men of Metal­li­ca, such coop­er­a­tion has always come nat­u­ral­ly. “There’ve been times when it’s been frac­tured and it looks like we were on the verge of break­ing up,” says gui­tarist Kirk Ham­mett in <a href="https://masterclass.pxf.io/3PvdoM" rel="nofollow">the trail­er for their Mas­ter­class</a> above.</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>He joined the band in 1983, which means he has very near­ly as long a stand­ing in the band as its founders, lead vocalist/rhythm gui­tarist James Het­field and drum­mer Lars Ulrich. All of them, along with bassist Robert Tru­jil­lo, appear here as teach­ers to share their accu­mu­lat­ed wis­dom, have to do as it may with song­writ­ing, per­for­mance, inter­per­son­al com­mu­ni­ca­tion, or the man­age­ment of time and anger.</p> <p>Like all Mas­ter­class­es, <a href="https://masterclass.pxf.io/3PvdoM" rel="nofollow">Metal­li­ca’s course</a> is divid­ed into many eas­i­ly watch­able video lessons, most with a prac­ti­cal slant.

After all, he says, “The only oth­er city I’d ever seen was Indi­anapo­lis, Indi­ana.” When Von­negut and his fel­low GIs emerged from the bow­els of the pork plant in which they’d wait­ed out the Allied bomb­ing of the city, they wit­nessed the after­math of Dresden’s destruc­tion. The city for­mer­ly known as “the Flo­rence of the Elbe” was “like the moon,” as Von­negut’s “unstuck” pro­tag­o­nist Bil­ly Pil­grim says in the nov­el: cratered, pit­ted, lev­eled…. But the smok­ing ruins were the least of it.</p> <p>Von­negut and his fel­low pris­on­ers spent the next few days remov­ing and incin­er­at­ing thou­sands of bod­ies, an <a href="https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?cc=mqr;c=mqr;c=mqrarchive;idno=act2080.0049.111;g=mqrg;rgn=main;view=text;xc=1">expe­ri­ence that would for­ev­er shape the writer and his sto­ries</a>. Whether men­tioned explic­it­ly or not, Dres­den became a “death card,” writes Philip Bei­dler, that Von­negut plant­ed through­out his work. Death recurs with banal reg­u­lar­i­ty, the phrase “So it goes,” pep­pered (106 times) through­out <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385333846?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=openculture-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creativeASIN=0385333846"><em>Slaugh­ter­house-Five</em></a>, which Von­negut cred­it­ed to the French nov­el­ist Celine, whose cyn­i­cism tipped over into hatred. Von­negut may have gone as far as gen­er­al­ized mis­an­thropy, but his dry, wise­crack­ing humor and his human­ism stayed intact, even if it had picked up a pas­sen­ger: the hor­ror of mass death that haunt­ed his imag­i­na­tion.</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>Von­negut, like Bil­ly Pil­grim, became “unstuck in time,” a con­di­tion we might see now as anal­o­gous to PTSD, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/books/kurt-vonnegut-dresden-anniversary.html">his daugh­ter Nanette says</a>. “He was writ­ing to save his own life,” as news from Viet­nam came in and Von­negut, a paci­fist, found him­self “los­ing his tem­per” at the tele­vi­sion. “He saw the num­bers, how many dead,” she adds, “that these kids were being conned, and sent to their deaths. And I think it prob­a­bly set a fire under him to have his say.” A new doc­u­men­tary on the writer titled <em>Unstuck in Time</em> shows how much impact his “say” had on the coun­try’s read­ers. Von­negut wrote unbri­dled satire, sci­ence fic­tion, and social com­men­tary, in thin books with irrev­er­ent doo­dles in the mar­gins. As direc­tor Robert Wei­de says in the trail­er above, hold­ing a copy of <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2013/05/hear_kurt_vonneguts_very_first_public_reading_from_ibreakfast_of_championsi_1970.html"><em>Break­fast of Cham­pi­ons</em>,</a> “what high school kid isn’t gonna gob­ble this up?”</p> <p>Wei­de, like most lovers of Von­negut, dis­cov­ered him as a teenag­er. At 23, the bud­ding film­mak­er con­tact­ed his lit­er­ary hero about mak­ing a doc­u­men­tary. Over the course of the next twen­ty-five years, Wei­de– best known for his work with Lar­ry David on <em>Curb Your Enthu­si­asm</em>&nbsp;(and <a href="https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-04-05/meme-directed-by-robert-weide">as a meme</a>) — filmed and taped con­ver­sa­tions with Von­negut until the author’s death in 2007. The result­ing doc­u­men­tary promis­es a com­pre­hen­sive por­trait of the writer’s life, <a href="https://lithub.com/watch-the-trailer-for-a-new-documentary-about-kurt-vonnegut-with-footage-spanning-decades/">LitHub writes</a>, from his “child­hood in Indi­anapo­lis to his expe­ri­ence as a pris­on­er of war to his rise to lit­er­ary star­dom to the fans left in the wake of his death, all through the lens of Von­negut and Weide’s close friend­ship.”</p> <p>As the rela­tion­ship between film­mak­er and sub­ject became part of the film itself, co-direc­tor Don Argott joined the project “to doc­u­ment the meta ele­ment of this sto­ry,” <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/kurt-vonnegut-documentary-teaser-1089021/">says Wei­de</a>, “as I con­tin­ued to focus on Vonnegut’s biog­ra­phy.” Forty years in the mak­ing, <em>Unstuck in Time</em>, evolved from a “fair­ly con­ven­tion­al author doc­u­men­tary” to what may stand as the most inti­mate por­trait of the author put on film.<em>&nbsp;</em>Per­haps some­day we’ll also see the pub­li­ca­tion of an 84-page scrap­book recent­ly sold at auc­tion, a <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/kurt-vonneguts-unpublished-world-war-ii-scrapbook-reveals-origins-slaughterhouse-five-180971046/">col­lec­tion of Vonnegut’s wartime let­ters, news clip­pings, and pho­tographs of the ruined Ger­man city</a> that he nev­er ful­ly left behind.</p> <p><strong>Relat­ed Con­tent: </strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2018/07/kurt-vonnegut-offers-8-tips-write-good-short-stories-plus-graphs.html">Kurt Von­negut Offers 8 Tips on How to Write Good Short Sto­ries (and Amus­ing­ly Graphs the Shapes Those Sto­ries Can Take)</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2018/12/why-should-we-read-kurt-vonnegut.html">Why Should We Read Kurt Von­negut?

A ben­e­fit con­cert of the first order, it was also a thank you to the sac­ri­fice of NYC’s fire and police depart­ments, which had lost many mem­bers dur­ing that day. (The for­mer had lost 343 fire­fight­ers.) But like a lot of things about that day twen­ty years lat­er, it has sort of van­ished down the cul­tur­al mem­o­ry hole.</p> <p>How­ev­er, if you need remind­ing, the Who came out of retire­ment and deliv­ered what some con­sid­ered the set of the night. Tom Wat­son, writ­ing in <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomwatson/2012/12/07/the-night-the-who-saved-new-york/?sh=4319b0dd28c3"><em>Forbes</em> mag­a­zine</a>, called it “The Night The Who Saved New York.”</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>The con­cert was free to any fire­fight­er or police­man who came in uni­form. Wat­son describes the vibe thus:</p> <blockquote><p>“To say that occu­pan­cy laws were stretched that night is to under­sell the size of the place. Pic­ture a Knicks game, then dou­ble the crowd. From the start, the build­ing ran on a riv­er of emo­tion and beer, which, if you wore a uni­form — or your late loved one’s cap — was free. The thou­sands of cops in atten­dance stu­dious­ly ignored thou­sands of oth­er cops and fire­fight­ers light­ing up a lit­tle reefer. Large bot­tles of high proof spir­its were pro­duced. The Gar­den was the biggest Irish wake in his­to­ry.”</p></blockquote> <p>In a moment like this, a lot of the artists head­ed towards jin­go­ism. It was under­stand­able. Songs about Amer­i­ca (David Bowie), songs about New York City (Bil­ly Joel), songs about free­dom (Paul McCart­ney), songs about heroes (also Bowie). But, what the crowd want­ed that night was cathar­sis, and that’s what the Who brought.</p> <p>The set is the Who at their most anthemic, but also the most rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the clas­sic rock radio these uni­formed men and women and their fam­i­lies grew up with: “Who Are You,” “Baba O’Reilly,” “Behind Blue Eyes,” and end­ing with “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” How­ev­er the line “meet the new boss, same as the old boss” is qui­et­ly delet­ed. Not this time, cyn­i­cism.</p> <p>The con­cert was exact­ly what was need­ed for the grief of the com­mu­ni­ty. And death hangs over the whole event, as cam­era cut to fam­i­ly mem­bers hold­ing up pho­tos of lost loved ones, while the World Trade Cen­ter rub­ble still smol­dered.</p> <p>And then there’s what nobody knew at the time: this would be bassist John Entwistle’s last gig before his fatal heart attack eight months lat­er. So many of the remain­ing first respon­ders would die from the tox­ic chem­i­cals breathed in on 9/11, and still they fight for some rec­om­pense from the gov­ern­ment that hon­ored them at first. May­or Giuliani…well, we know what hap­pened to him. And that ass whoopin’ we promised the Mid­dle East wound up kick­ing America’s econ­o­my in the butt instead.</p> <p>Twen­ty years lat­er the per­for­mance still holds up, a moment in time just before we all got fooled again.</p> <p><strong>Relat­ed Con­tent:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2012/08/keith_moon_drummer_of_the_who_passes_out_at_1973_concert_19-year-old_fan_takes_over.html">Kei­th Moon, Drum­mer of The Who, Pass­es Out at 1973 Con­cert; 19-Year-Old Fan Takes Over</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2013/01/keith_moons_final_performance_with_the_who_1978.html">Kei­th Moon’s Final Per­for­mance with The Who (1978)</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2018/02/what-made-john-entwistle-one-of-the-great-rock-bassists.html">What Made John Entwistle One of the Great Rock Bassists?

Known as <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-synesthesia/">synes­the­sia</a>, it involves one kind of sense per­cep­tion being tied up with anoth­er: let­ters and num­bers come with col­ors, sequences take on three-dimen­sion­al forms, sounds have tac­tile feel­ings. These unusu­al sen­so­ry con­nec­tions can pre­sum­ably encour­age unusu­al kinds of think­ing; per­haps unsur­pris­ing­ly, synes­thet­ic expe­ri­ences have been report­ed by a vari­ety of cre­ators, from Bil­ly Joel and David Hock­ney to Vladimir Nabokov and Niko­la Tes­la.</p> <p>Few, how­ev­er, have described synes­the­sia as elo­quent­ly as Kandin­sky did. “Col­or is the key­board,” he once said. “The eye is the ham­mer. The soul is the piano with its many strings. The artist is the hand that pur­pose­ly sets the soul vibrat­ing by means of this or that key.”</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>That quote must have shaped the mis­sion of <a href="https://artsandculture.google.com/experiment/sgF5ivv105ukhA"><strong>Play a Kandin­sky</strong></a>, a col­lab­o­ra­tion between Google Arts and Cul­ture and the <a href="https://www.centrepompidou.fr/en/">Cen­tre Pom­pi­dou</a>.

The change of scale pro­vokes a role change in the audi­ence, who with­out nec­es­sar­i­ly expect­ing it become more than sim­ple com­men­ta­tors. They turn into ethno­g­ra­phers, notic­ing and often remark­ing on every vis­i­ble detail of kin­ship, word and ges­ture and every inter­per­son­al exchange. They also respond as cul­tur­al geo­g­ra­phers, call­ing out streets and neigh­bor­hoods and build­ings, read­ing signs aloud, repeat­ing trade­names and brands and mark­ing extinct details in the cityscape. If I could cap­ture them (and I gen­er­al­ly can­not, because it is hard to intel­li­gi­bly record the voic­es of hun­dreds of peo­ple in one room), it would play back like an urban research project dis­trib­uted through a crowd of inves­ti­ga­tors. Each suc­cess­ful iden­ti­fi­ca­tion, each nam­ing achieved, is an endor­phin trig­ger.</em></p></blockquote> <p>Prelinger is hap­py to play fast and loose with chrono­log­i­cal order, scram­bling peri­od fash­ions, and col­or and black-and-white stock. This crazy quilt approach is in step with his resis­tance to con­struct­ing nar­ra­tives (“the curse of con­tem­po­rary doc­u­men­tary”) and admi­ra­tion for the way enthu­si­as­tic ama­teurs’ footage ren­ders “caste dis­tinc­tions between ani­mals and humans, between places and their inhab­i­tants” moot:</p> <blockquote><p><em>I am much less inter­est­ed in the minu­ti­ae of local his­to­ry than I am in the process of day­light­ing it, in the rela­tion­ship of his­to­ry and con­tem­po­rary life.</em></p></blockquote> <p>His approach allows those of us who live or have lived here to rev­el in&nbsp;<a href="https://freakonomics.com/podcast/fbrc-tom-dyja/">New York City’s long stand­ing capac­i­ty for rein­ven­tion</a>.</p> <p>Like the anony­mous tide of human­i­ty bustling along our side­walks (and dart­ing into traf­fic, mid-block), the mar­quees, restau­rant names and words on the deliv­ery trucks aren’t fixed.

In a way, this vin­di­cates the posi­tion of Hen­ry Ford II, who opposed label­ing a brand of cars with the name of his father Edsel Ford. The son of Ford Motor Com­pa­ny founder Hen­ry Ford, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel_Ford">Edsel Ford</a> died young in 1943, and thus did­n’t live to see “E Day,” the roll­out of his name­sake line of auto­mo­biles. It hap­pened on&nbsp;Sep­tem­ber 4, 1957, the cul­mi­na­tion of two years of research and devel­op­ment on what was for most of that time called the “E car,” the let­ter hav­ing been cho­sen to indi­cate the pro­jec­t’s exper­i­men­tal nature. Alas, all sev­en of Edsel’s first mod­els struck the Amer­i­can pub­lic as too con­ven­tion­al to stand out — and at the same time, too odd to buy.</p> <div class="oc-video-wrapper"> <div class="oc-video-container"> <span class="youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="505" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7b6Wg9_AwwA?wmode=transparent&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=0&amp;theme=dark" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></span> </div> <p> <!-- /oc-video-embed --> </p></div> <p><!-- /oc-video-wrapper --></p> <p>You can hear the sto­ry of Edsel in the two videos above, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgeux2LlKjs">one from trans­porta­tion enthu­si­ast Ruairidh MacVeigh</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b6Wg9_AwwA">anoth­er from Reg­u­lar Car Reviews</a>.&nbsp;Both offer expla­na­tions of how the brand’s cars were con­ceived, and what went wrong enough in their exe­cu­tion to make them a laugh­ing stock still today.

The unfor­tu­nate abbre­vi­a­tion of Rein­hardt’s life means that he nev­er built a sub­stan­tial body of solo work, though he did play on many record­ed dates that include per­for­mances&nbsp;along­side Cole­man Hawkins and Ben­ny Carter. It also means that he left even less in the way of footage, though we do get a crisp and illu­mi­nat­ing view of him and his gui­tar in the 1938 doc­u­men­tary short “Jazz ‘Hot,’&nbsp;” <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2016/01/jazz-hot-with-django-reinhardt-1938.html">pre­vi­ous­ly fea­tured here on Open Cul­ture</a>.</p> <p>“Jazz ‘Hot’&nbsp;” also fea­tures vio­lin-play­ing from <a href="https://www.npr.org/2012/09/07/91706269/violinist-stephane-grappelli-on-piano-jazz">Stéphane Grap­pel­li</a>, who found­ed the group <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintette_du_Hot_Club_de_France">Quin­tette du Hot Club de France</a> with Rein­hardt in 1934.
