We don't care if you only love we We don't care if you only love we
We love you We love you and we hope that you will love we too
We love they We love they and we want for you to love they too Aaahhh ...

I love you I love you And I hope that you won't prove wrong too
We love you We do We love you We do Aaaahhhh ....
THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
We Love You is a rock song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, first released as Decca single F12654 in the UK by The Rolling Stones on August 18, 1967, with a B-side of "Dandelion." It went top ten in Britain, peaking at #8, but only made it to #50 in the United States. This single and its flipside would be the final Stones recordings receiving a production credit for band manager Andrew Loog Oldham.
The song is a droning Moroccan influenced anthem of defiance. Outwardly, it was a message from the band to its fans, expressing appreciation for support in the wake of their recent drug busts. It was also an ironic, tongue in cheek slap in the faces of the police harrassing them and the Stones' true feelings about it, putting on a cooperative and friendly face while inside they were seething with anger and indignation (as is represented by Brian Jones' unforgettably surreal Mellotron in the background). "We Love You" is a psychedelic collage of jail sounds, Nicky Hopkins' foreboding piano riff, and otherworldly tape delayed vocal effects, featuring a visiting John Lennon and Paul McCartney on high harmonies.
Allan Ginsberg was in London for a pro-marijuana rally in Hyde Park. He met Mick at Paul McCartney's house, and Mick invited the Beat poet to that night's session with Paul and John to record backing vocals for "We Love You". Ginsberg, waving his Shiva beads and a Tibetan oracle ring, conducted the singers from the other side of the studio glass to the tempo of the stuttering Mellotron track. "They looked like little angels," he wrote later of the Stones and the Beatles, "like Botticelli Graces singing together for the first time."
Written in the aftermath of the drugs arrests faced by Jagger and Richards at the Redlands country home of the latter in Sussex that year, the single opens with the sounds of entry into jail, and a cell door clanging shut. The draconian nature of the sentences handed down to the two Stones relative to the charges prompted a stern editorial by The Times in protest. The songs's lyric, seemingly an echo of the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" broadcast from earlier in the summer, on closer examination espouses a strong anti-establishment posture, proclaiming "we don't care if you hound we and lock the doors around we" and "you will never win we, your uniforms don't fit we."
The band produced an accompanying promotional film for the single (such shorts at this time not yet called videos ), re-enacting the 1895 indecency trial of Oscar Wilde. Firmly connecting the past scandal with the present circumstance, the film had Jagger and Richards, along with Marianne Faithfull, respectively portraying Wilde, the Marquess of Queensbury, and Lord Alfred Douglas. Stones guitarist, Brian Jones also appears heavily under the influence of drugs in the video (taken from stock footage of rehearsals).
The single was not added to the 2002 reissue of Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) by ABKCO, even though its B-side "Dandelion" is present; it is available on three other compilations, More Hot Rocks, the Singles Collection: The London Years and Rolled Gold. The remastered version of this track released on the More Hot Rocks collection omits the snippet of "Dandelion", but instead we are treated to the sound of an engineer stopping tape.

LYRICS:
Cold is your heart when your heart has been broken Love is what's lost when the loss leads to loathing Pain's what you've got when you've got, got going There is your food And your food's got you choking
Touch, a good game because the rules are the same I can't deny that we'll miss him Now that you've killed it's a much bigger pill because larger words are missing
Say what you will where's your father figure Say what you will Where's your father figure NOW?
Spun is your head and your head is unfolding Crushed is your soul and your soul is unloading Torn are your thoughts and your thoughts make life hopeful Gone is the cost and the cost is unhopeful
Touch, a good game because the rules are the same I can't deny that we'll miss him now that you've killed it's a much bigger pill because larger words are missing
Say what you will where's your father figure Say what you will Where's your father figure NOW?

We pledge allegiance to a ... a mind that's empty an allegiance to a guy that's unrelenting
THEY really let us down WE don't even know how It's complicated when the lies are thick We start to hate it and we're sick of it THEY really hold us down more than more somehow It's aggravated when the country's sick Even more from the leadership
NON! stop manipulation in the higher nothing NON! stop disintegration in the land not loving Wasted time, ohhh ...
We stand accusing but the facts aren't proven We stand accusing but it's the truth we're losing.
THEY really let us down WE don't even know how It's complicated when the lies are thick It starts to feel like a sinking ship THEY really hold us down more than more somehow We're sucker-punched by the lies they spit We're losing lives because they're full of shit
NON! stop manipulation in the higher nothing NON! stop disintegration in the land not loving Wasted time, ohhh ...

Lina Wertmuller's masterpiece, Seven Beauties, is one that makes a great defense when people claim that all international films dubbed into English are bad, and vastly inferior to the original language.
The vocal actor in this film was brilliant, he was able to convey the necessary emotions along with Giancarlo Giannini to perfection, from anger to boastfulness to playfulness to insanity to passion, and it helped to make Pasqualino Frafuso into one of cinema's most memorable (and even endearing) creations. He did the same thing with Swept Away (many of its English dubbed scenes are falling-down hilarious), and he even did a third film for Giannini (costarring with Goldie Hawn) called Liars and Lovers.
The guy who dubbed Giannini's voice in these films is as much fun to listen to as Giannini is to watch, and it gives the films a much needed lightening up that they dont get in the gruffer Italian versions. The original language version of Seven Beauties is about as entertaining as it would be to sit through Schindler's List in German. I think that Giannini and Wertmuller owe a certain amount of credit for their Oscar nominations to this unknown dubber, as this was the version that played in many theatres (and later on late night PBS) and made Giannini's character and the entire film seem more humane.
In this opening scene, Giannini reads a narration over vintage World War II footage of a litany of the sorts of people that he blames for the terrible state of the world (at least I think that's what he means). In the Italian language release, the words are still English dubbed (before the rest of the film goes into Italian with subtitles) but they are read by a nasally, dispassionate nebbish who sounds like he's irritated that he didnt have his morning cup of coffee. However, in this rare English dubbed version of the entire film, the voice actor gives the words the proper enunciation, even better than Giannini does (he is heard faintly in the background on the Italian print). And the saxophone / organ music is this scene is wonderful too.
I have an mp3 of the entire original Italian language track, "Quelli Che" by Enzo Jannacci, available as a download at this link: http://subcin.com/quelliche.mp3

Here is a brand new "short film" that Ive created exclusively for YouTube, to commemorate the long awaited release of a new album by one of my favorite bands/singers.
The song is called "Kill the Day", the singer is Richard Patrick, the band is Filter, and it is one of the selections from their new album, "Anthems for the Damned", which is now available in stores and online. Buy a copy of this high-octane rock masterpiece from your favorite music source today, and catch them on tour worldwide all this year.
While you are at it, you should also get a copy of the "Army of Anyone" debut album from 2006, with RP on vocals, Dean and Robert DeLeo (from Stone Temple Pilots) on bass and guitar, and virtuoso Ray Luzier on drums. It is probably my number one favorite album of the decade (so far), and it makes a great "double feature" with the new Filter release (as does the sadly overlooked "Amalgamut" from 2002, which is another of my favorite albums of the decade).
Special thanks to Richard Patrick (for creating such an instantly classic cycle of songs), David Lynch, Abel Ferrara, Timothy Hutton, Godley and Creme, Lili Taylor, and Michael Bluntgard.
I used clips from Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Twin Peaks, The Addiction, Drive, and Cry.
Watch my two "Army of Anyone" short subjects from last year, "Non Stop" and "Father Figure" (linked to this page), as well as another one that I created for the old Rolling Stones classic, "We Love You".

Here is an extremely rare one minute of behind the scenes footage from Jerry Lewis' infamous "lost" film, The Day the Clown Cried. The soundtrack is from Andrei Tarkovsky's SOLARIS. This is probably the Holy Grail for rare cinema collectors. I have two screenplays available for FREE download on my site, http://subcin.com.

Here is a deeply disturbing segment from one of the greatest (and most underrated) vampire
Here is a deeply disturbing segment from one of the greatest (and most underrated) vampire films of all time, Abel Ferrara's THE ADDICTION.
To celebrate the completion of her dissertation and attainment of her Ph.D., Kathy (Lili Taylor) decides to invite the dean, her professors, and some of her friends to a party at her apartment. On her way home, Kathy meets a prostelytizer who hands her a pamphlet. She invites him to come inside, but he refuses, the only one who has refused to let 'sin' in. As her hunger grows again, Kathy rolls on the floor in agony, screaming repeatedly, "I will not submit!" But submit she finally does when, as the guests start arriving, she asks her friend Jean (Edie Falco), now a vampire herself, to bring her a girl on which to feed.
Feeling satiated, Kathy attends her party and, after a short speech during which she thanks the faculty and offers to share with everyone what she has learned during her years of study, she leaps at the dean's neck. Thereafter begins an horrific orgy in which Kathy and her vampire friends feast on the humans.
After drinking her fill and then some, Kathy begins to feel ill and collapses in a pool of gore, winding up in a hospital.
Check out my latest "short film" created for YouTube, called KILL THE DAY. Its based on a new song by the band Filter (from their latest release, "Anthems of the Damned"), and it uses footage from this scene and others.

In the early 70s, PBS broadcast the first reality series, An American Family. It told the story of the William C. Loud family from Santa Barbara, California. It was compelling television, and the family was beloved by millions of viewers who empathized with them, especially eldest son Lance, who lived at the Chelsea Hotel and hung out with Warhol "superstar" Holly Woodlawn, and was an openly and unapologetically gay young man. This is one of several clips from the series Im putting up today on You Tube. Look for more of them in coming weeks! I have also created a webpage tribute to the series, located on my site at http://subcin.com
These are the opening credits of the series, which should strike a nostalgic note with anyone who was addicted to it in the 70s.
