ROCKOLLECTIONS: TRIBUTE/MEMORIAL 2007 PT.6
Engineer Ken brought me back laughing into this chapter with a very good line you should appreciate.
For the 2007 passing of Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman I have a song from Van Halen.
Then, a long long time ago, TV’s Merv Griffin was a singer- and he had a big hit with the unlikely title of I’ve Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts. No kidding!
We HAVE to play that one. Though it sounds nothing like Merv Griffin!
Now we come to that question about Tom Snyder, probably most famous for coming on after Johnny Carson with the Tomorrow show.
Among his many guests over the years, Tom had John Lennon’s final televised interview, the first U.S. television appearance of U2, Charles Manson’s famously crazy interview, Wendy Williams destructions with the Plasmatics and a weird non-interview with Johnny Rotten. Johnny apparently didn’t feel like talking.
For Tom, I have something from Poco.
And I also asked about legendary mime Marcel Marceau. Frankly, I think I picked a winner of a song for him!
Did you know Michael Jackson took/stole his well known Moonwalk from Marceau’s classic “Walking Against The Wind”?
We will close this episode out with the late Willie Tee’s 1962 hit.
Believe it or not, I am not done yet.
And come on, the music is good!

Michael Jackson did not “steal” Marcel Marceau’s walk as Marceau clearly did not see himself as having been robbed. The two had a long standing friendship.
In fact, Marceau’s “walking against the wind” owes a lot to the profile and pressure walks developed both by Jean-Louis Barrault and their mutual teacher, Étienne Decroux, and based on my own encounter with the great mime, I can assure you he was gracious enough to give credit where credit was due.
Dear Ian,
Sorry I couldn’t respond sooner.
I am sure Marceau was gracious in all things in his life.
In a previous episode, I mentioned that he was the ONLY mime I could name.
That will still stay true, unless I remember the others you have mentioned.
You are clearly better informed about that whole art.
I was HALF joking when I said Jackson stole it.
And although the two may have had a longstanding friendship, I never head Jackson give Marceau or anyone else any credit for the moonwalk!
My own mime talents are limited to flipping people the bird, lol!
Thanks for listening and writing,
Mike Pell
