Show i Kevins Kevin's All The World Full Of Characters by Kevin Brown On the world stage have been characters whose stories have been so compelling they commanded our attention and seized our sentiments As their lives turned for better or worse we moved with them emotionally But when they died or were killed the story board we carried drastic change sometimes disassembling like a in our heads underwent puzzle T Notable examples are the deaths of Elvis Presley and Howard H Hughes the rise and fall of Mohamed Ali the arrest of Patty Hurst the execution of Gary Gilmore and recently following the air raid on Libyan soil the curtailment of of lethal ns Although does not charm and we are less than enamored of his antics he parallels in the conviction of his madness TVs JR Ewing or orthe orthe orthe the silver screens screen's Darth Vader There are obvious exceptions to those comparisons Death in the real world carries a message to the soul that is lost when portrayed fictionally But as a group these historic figures share common elements They represent a diversity in origin cause and fat fate They are not always hero or villian nor portrayed accurately nor dealt with honorably But primarily they hardly ever behave the way we expect them to Despite the fact that all the world is audience to their exploitations by the media the essence of their appeal lies in the degree of autonomy th they y command in their own unfolding adventures It is our fascination with their freedom coupled wit with our affinity for the unexpected which links their lives to ours in a vicarious attempt to thwart the mundane Since SinGe it is between us the story finally passes we also get to flavor the outcome with our opinions Our inflections thoughtfully and placed abets the drama But our coloring shading highlighting an and l erasing is also a scrabble to orient perspective As for the saga speculation serves to embroil man in the details of his own history Thus medias media's focus becomes a position no longer relegated to 10 the mighty the odd the politically flamboyant or the hopelessly deleterious It is a shared local b So natural is t that at sharing that we e are conditioned as participant p nt and spectator to anticipate and expect it Today the process is almost literally food for creative thought quickly becoming a staple for news hungry modern man World o ld theatre offers the possibility for not only conjecture but for activists to soapbox propaganda Its It's a wide stage with a long history and a patronage just as vast The only true rests in the simple fact that the stories keep coming But as corners become square quare a shape succumbs to description and anda a astory astory story draws to an inevitable conclusion That's what almost happened to with the last US U.S. air raid But Buthis Buthis Buthis his message wrestled free of circumspection and again lost its shape He apparently is a s story bigger or orm more re confused than thana a box |
