OCTOBER 5- Canada Troops and Afghans movie that brings honesty and justice... HYENA ROAD

QUOTE:
However, for a more general audience, Gross wants to ensure
we don’t forget about the war in Kandahar by giving us a sense of “Oh, that’s
what it was.” Gross points out that “Canadians were there in that conflict
longer than WW1, WW2, and the Korean War combined,” and he offers genuine
concern that what happened there has been already forgotten by those not
personally affected.
Gross then returns to his opening point – “If I hadn’t gone
to Afghanistan, I wouldn’t be making a film about Afghanistan. It wasn’t on my
list of things to do. I do feel a very personal connection to so many of the
men and women that I met when I was there. They were all extraordinarily open
and the stories are amazing.”
With Hyena Road, Paul Gross made a very different
war film about a very different war
Jason Gorber, Special to
National Post | Sep 11 10:07 AM ET
Despite the shoulder-length white hair, it’s easy to see
the tall and well-postured Paul Gross as no-nonsense Constable Benton Fraser in
Due South. After directing some episodes of the series in its later run, the
Calgary native made his directorial feature debut with the 2002 curling
comedy Men With Brooms, following that up with the 2008 WW1 melodrama Passchendaele.
This year, Gross returns to the director’s chair with Hyena Road, a very
different war film about a very different war.
Gross comes by an interest in military stories honestly.
“My father was in the military. His war was Korea, so in my early years, I grew
up around the army and I’m sure that’s a big reason why I feel compelled by
them.” Despite this he “had no intention of ever doing a war film again because
they’re just awful! They’re very complicated to make and
extraordinarily difficult to finance because obviously they cost a fair bit of
money.”
The film itself emerged organically from a visit the
actor/director made to the troops in Kandahar. The second time he arrived
with a crew in tow but no real story in mind, save for “a real interest in
being accurate and not bend anything too far out of shape.”

While the writing of the film was by Gross’ own admission
“peculiar,” many of the stories came from the soldiers themselves. “I’d just go
up ask ‘What is it you do?’ Two hours later they’re still telling me. Pretty
much anything that’s singular in the film I didn’t make up. If I had tried to
write a storyline and then gone to Afghanistan to find information to support
that I don’t think it would have been as interesting.”
“The overriding thing was trying to be accurate, to not
deform the experience and the things that they were actually involved in, in
order to make a pleasing story. It’s why it has stuff in it that you might not
have decided to include.” The film’s opening scene exemplifies this ethos, as
the rat-tat of military jargon provides nearly incomprehensible patois that
becomes nearly poetic in its starkness.
“If you’re around the army, they speak in nothing but
acronyms”, Gross says, “I had no idea what they’re talking about 90 percent of
the time.” The jargon spouted out by film stars Rossif Sutherland, Jennifer
Pudavick and others helps “eliminate subtlety or interpretation so that
everything is clear, particularly when you’re in trouble and you’re on a radio.
There can’t be misunderstanding, so it does actually serve a function.”
To its credit the film is not only about the Canadian
experience of war, it also provides strong and well-drawn portrayals of many
Afghanis. “A lot of times you see movies where it has nothing to do with the
people and the land in which they’re fighting,” he says. “Those tend to be the
American films where it’s more a struggle inside the American soul than it has
to do with the enemy that they’re contending with or the people that they’re
presumably there to help. I felt we have to put these people in because that’s
actually why we’re there. It is a partnership.”
This results in some of the film’s most powerful
performances, including some from people without any on-screen experience.
“The guy playing the ghost is not an actor at all. His name is Neamat
Arghandabi, and he is an amazing guy. When he was a kid he was a
mujahideen against the Soviets, living in caves, coming out and shooting down
Russian helicopters. He doesn’t even know how old he is.”
Hyena Road has been shown to members of the military
community and “in general the response is really positive,” despite some
unintended issues for some. “We’ve shown it to a number of veterans of the war
and some who have suffered the particulars of PTSD and operational stress
problems and we’re finding it’s so accurate it’s actually jarring them. We’re
trying to figure out a way of alerting those people who suffer from that that
this could be a trigger because it’s happened now a few times.”
However, for a more general audience, Gross wants to ensure
we don’t forget about the war in Kandahar by giving us a sense of “Oh, that’s
what it was.” Gross points out that “Canadians were there in that conflict
longer than WW1, WW2, and the Korean War combined,” and he offers genuine
concern that what happened there has been already forgotten by those not
personally affected.
Gross then returns to his opening point – “If I hadn’t gone
to Afghanistan, I wouldn’t be making a film about Afghanistan. It wasn’t on my
list of things to do. I do feel a very personal connection to so many of the
men and women that I met when I was there. They were all extraordinarily open
and the stories are amazing.”
This is the only record we’re going to have cinematically
of what we did there
The film manages to touch upon one of the more esoteric
aspects of being in cobmat. “The dramatic intensity of war is really hard to
describe. Everything is amped up. I’m not a particular fan of a certain brand
of coffee, but did I love it over there. It’s like the greatest coffee I ever
drank. It’s cliché but the proximity of death makes everything erotic. I
thought it would be good if we could capture the sense of that.”
Gross believes Hyena Road to be his most mature work
to date. “I haven’t been at the filmmaking stuff for a long time, but I’ve
started to feel more confident in what I want to do.” The power of the
narrative and unique circumstances of production forced him to “just be better
at what I was doing and in that way it became less considered and more raw.”
The filmmaker remains conscious of the film’s potential
legacy. “I still get stopped in airports by teachers who say Passchendaele has
been a fantastic tool to get kids to get to something more visceral about our
history. I would hope that Hyena Road can serve some purpose in a similar way.”
Given the unique circumstances of filming at the actual base during Canada’s
involvement in Afghanistan, that should not be a problem. “This is the only
record we’re going to have cinematically of what we did there. I’m confident
about its accuracy and it can be something that sort of goes on for some time
in the Canadian consciousness on some level.”

Highway of Heroes (Never had a chance to say goodbye)-2007
Uploaded on Nov 8, 2007
In Ontario, when a Canadian soldier dies for his country in
Afghanistan they touch Canadian soil at Canadian Forces Base Trenton. From
there, a funeral procession leaves the base and heads to Toronto, Ontario
taking our departed heroes to the Centre for Forensic Sciences. Along the 172km
path of Highway 401 people fill the overpasses to show their support, waving
Canadian flags and signs, in a sort of paying their respects to the fallen and
their families.
The Ontario "Highway of Heroes" Petition to Ontario Ministry of Transportation was created by members of Milnet.ca and written by James Forbes (forcerecon85@hotmail.com).
On August 24, 2007 it was announced that Ontario's provincial government consulted the federal government, municipalities along the highway and the Royal Canadian Legion and on September 7, 2007 it was official, a stretch of the 401 would be renamed 'Highway of Heroes'. The highway will not lose its official designation as the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway, but signs would be erected designating the route as the Highway of Heroes.
The Song 'Highway of Heroes' was recorded as an extension of the emotion expressed when thousands of Canadians voiced their desired to honour our fallen soldiers by having a part of the 401 renamed. Hopefully, when the song is heard, it will remind everyone to take a moment and reflect on what is truly important in their lives.

USA IS NOT THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD (are the other democratic nations - especially Canada)
WHAT TRUTH (fits so many nations) America is not the greatest country in the world anymore speech... 3 years ago... took my breath away... THE SPEECH THAT FITS ALL FREE NATIONS..... cause we already know the others are the sheeeeeets.....
the stats coming from this incredible actor... and then... his wish list.... for America to have the honour ... and humanity it used to... what a share....
the commercialism and politicalization of our world - our nations and the horrific United Nations.... and the unkept bank... that ruined our world.... we need to get it back... and not just for middle and upper class... like Pope Francis says... the working class and the poor.... that's what we need to focus on.... not greed but humanity.... and environment... and having stable jobs not 5 jobs... for older and youngest workers...
Please God.... we are all so tired.... so tired of worrying each and every day.... living on the top of a thumbtack.... it's just not right.... O America... and O Canada 2..... my fear is that Harper kept us floating and steady when countries were sinking fast... outside of Germany, of course.... and didn't ruin the social fabric of who we are and were.... but IMF and these ugly UN groups have gotten away with murder of our social fabric.... how come they are ruling the two worlds now- electronic vs real - and why is the world bowing to commercialism and politicization versus reality, humanity, environment and passion and pride of hard work ethics and respecting our old... and learning from them....
Frankly, many of us Canadians are deeply worried about the lack of substance in all the political parties... not one focus on poverty- work ethic- what we can do as a nation to prosper and then work 2gether and do it... WHAT A SPEECH- and wish Canada could go back 25 years to when we all mattered... Have a great week
USA IS NOT THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ANYMORE – The Truth (3yrs ago)
God Bless
Canada- I'm proud to be Canadian lee Greenwood sent for Canadian troops - he
was amazed at Canada's love and devotion for our fallen and the Highway of
Heroes.....The Americans the Brits and
Aussies say we Canadians shamed them..... bcause Canadians roared and screamed
over our troops in Afghanistan... and followed their every move.... and even on
this day.... political will is measured in the respect given to our troops,
policing, firefighters and first responders...
God Bless You
Canada – Highway of Heroes

THE ARMY WIFE
The good Lord was creating a model for military spouses and was
into his sixth day of over-time when an angel appeared. She said, Lord, you
seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. What’s wrong with the
standard model?
The Lord replied, Have you seen the specs on this order? They
need to be completely independent, possess the qualities of both father and
mother, be a perfect host/hostess to four or 40 with an hour’s notice, run on
black coffee, handle every emergency imaginable without a manual, be able to
carry on cheerfully, even if they are pregnant and have the flu; and they must
be willing to move to a new location 10 times in 17 years. And, oh yes, they
must have six pairs of hands.
The angel shook her head. Six pairs of hands? No way.
The Lord continued, Don’t worry, we will make other military
spouses to help them. And we will give them an unusually strong heart so it can
swell with pride in their spouse’s achievements, sustain the pain of
separations, beat soundly when it is over-worked and tired, and be large enough
to say, 'I don’t understand', when they don’t, and say, 'I love you' ,
regardless.
Lord, said the angel, touching his arm gently, Go to bed and get
some rest. You can finish this tomorrow.
I can’t stop now, said the Lord. I am so close to creating
something unique. Already this model heals themselves when they are sick, can
put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave good-bye to their spouses
from a pier, a runway or a depot, and understand why it’s important that they
leave.
The angel circled the model for military spouses, looked at it
closely and sighed, It looks fine, but it’s too soft.
they might look soft, replied the Lord, but they have the
strength of a lion. You would not believe what they can endure.
Finally, the angel bent over and ran a finger across the cheek
of the Lord’s creation. There’s a leak, she announced. Something is wrong with
the construction. I am not surprised that it has cracked. You are trying to put
too much into this model.
The Lord appeared offended at the angel’s lack of confidence.
What you see is not a leak, he said. It’s a tear.
A tear? What is it there for? asked the angel.
The Lord replied, It’s for joy, sadness, pain, disappointment,
loneliness, pride, and a dedication to all the values that they and their
spouses hold dear.
You are a genius! exclaimed the angel.
The Lord looked puzzled and replied, I didn’t put it there.

On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a drug store in
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the stores PA
asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two
minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for
us.
Terry was impressed with the stores leadership role in adopting the Legions two minutes of silence initiative. He felt that the stores contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.
When eleven oclock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the two minutes of silence to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect.
Terrys anger towards the father for trying to engage the stores clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, A Pittance of Time. Terry later recorded A Pittance of Time and included it on his full-length music CD, The Power of the Dream.
Thank You to the Royal Canadian Legion Todmorden Branch #10 and Woodbine Height Branch #2 for their participation in the Video.

70s...... JUST LISTEN TO DUANE ALLMAN’S GUITAR... AND PICKETT’S KICK ASS
VOICE.... sigh... The Allman Brothers Band, Jimi Hendrix and
Janis Joplin... and Sweet Jesus ...thank u.... Wilson Pickett.... we lived and

were the daze for me and many like me.... we were the Jackie Kennedy business
dressups during the day and the wild, free and beautiful at night.... thank u
for the memories...
Before there was
The Allman Brothers Band, Duane Allman was trying to attract any kind of
attention and make a name for himself. The music business is hard you know.
Though immortalized now as one of the greatest guitarist of all time, it was
Gregg who was more sought out in the record business in the early days. So
Duane made ends meet by being a session guitarist in studios while he decided
what his next move would be.
It was in November of 1968, when Wilson Pickett - already a star - showed up at Rick Halls Fame Studio in Muscle Shoals, AL wanting to record, but with no material or ideas. Duane, who was working for Rick but was not even the main, lead session guitarist, suggested that they cut "Hey Jude", which Rick thought was "the most preposterous thing" he had ever heard and Wilson agreed they would NOT do it. The Beatles had just recently released it and it was climbing the charts. But Duane somehow convinced them both it was a good idea because it "was" a Beatles song and it "would" be Number 1. And, as you hear, it was a GREAT idea. This song sparked the beginning of Duane's future nickname and the formation of ABB.
The story goes that Duane was already known as "Dog" because of his looks. As you might imagine, the hippie look that Duane sported was few and far between in late 1960's Alabama. When Wilson heard the way Duane played he started calling him "Sky Man". Not just for his "out of this world" playing but also for his "out of this world" state of mind he liked being in (recreational activities for those who still don't get it). From there the name somewhere morphed into "Skydog". Rick Hall was also so amazed that he phoned Jerry Wexler and put the phone up to the speakers on the playback so he could hear the song. Needless to say, he was also blown away by Duane's playing. And in Wilson's defense of this DA story, his vocals in this song are what they are in all his songs -- AWESOME.
Jerry Wexler was Wilson's main producer for Atlantic who wasn't able to be there and gave the reins to Hall. Wexler, along with Phil Walden, later in '69, started Capricorn Records in Macon, GA and we all know that story. Also, Phil Walden is also the man who introduced and brought in Jaimoe to play with Duane. They started jamming together before any of the other Brothers joined in.
Well anyway - this is for your listening pleasure and hope you enjoy it. If you want to know more of this story, I highly recommend pp. 80-88 of "Skydog: The Duane Allman Story" by Randy Poe. It is where this info came from and it is the best book ever if you are a Duane and/or ABB fan. And the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section...thank you...you helped change the world and the music for the better.

If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Well, your whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of common says you're gonna reap just what you sow
So unless you've lived a life of total perfection
Mm-mm, you'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw
Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another
'cause I don't think or wear my hair same way you do
Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a 'hurtin you,
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I
If I only had the wings of little angels don'tcha you know I'd fly
To the top of the mountain and then I'd cry?
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes,
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

'cause I don't think or wear my hair same way you do
Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a 'hurtin you,
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I
If I only had the wings of little angels don'tcha you know I'd fly
To the top of the mountain and then I'd cry?
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes,
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

HOTEL
CALIFORNIA- 1976- BEST QUOTE OF OUR
60s and early 70s- Lost soul, high, in
desert of lost hope, is spiritually dying, but sees a hotel, like a mission
church, with a beautiful woman, death, inviting him inside to rest.
Heaven or Hell, guided by Death, he hears other residents welcoming him
to their lost world. California or californication is often a symbol for
a lost cursed land of plenty but wasted, in its ruined beauty it seduces lost
souls to their ruin. Lady Death has all the riches of Benzs and her vapid
pretty boys, empty of feelings, the "guests" dance in the heat of
Hell. The wine/spirit of 1969 is gone, the idealism of the Sixties,
abandoned to empty pleasures that need excuses to tolerate. The room is
copy of brothel with champagne riches. The people there put themselves
there via empty chases after sensation and that lure keeps them chasing.
They try to eat and kill their sins, but The Beast, Satan, can not be killed.
Escape is impossible. You can check out, die, anytime but
can never escape your wasted life.
The Eagles Hotel California [Remastered] 01 Hotel
California-1969
· Written by Don Felder, Glenn Frey and Don
Henley, this song is about materialism and excess. California is used as the
setting, but it could relate to anywhere in America. Don Henley in the
London Daily Mail November 9, 2007 said: "Some of the
wilder interpretations of that song have been amazing. It was really about the
excesses of American culture and certain girls we knew. But it was also about
the uneasy balance between art and commerce."
On November 25, 2007 Henley appeared on the TV news show 60 Minutes, where he was told, "everyone wants to know what this song means." Henley replied: "I know, it's so boring. It's a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream, and about excess in America which was something we knew about."
He offered yet another interpretation in the 2013 History of the Eaglesdocumentary: "It's a song about a journey from innocence to experience."
