In memory of John Severson, the founder of Surfer  magazine —

"Freeze-frame surfer, and as a live Hendrix 'E Z Rider' blares
over the soundtrack, the surfer lifts his arms and rises like Christ
into the sky."

— Rolling Stone , August 5, 1971, on the film Rainbow Bridge

Severson reportedly died on Friday, May 26, 2017.

For a rather different sort of surfing, see this  journal on that date.

From the 1994 film review linked to above —

Reality Bites – Peter Travers in Rolling Stone , Feb. 1994

"Life after college – the time between graduation and
finding a job that pays your rent without making you puke.
Panic time. By spinning something fresh out of something
familiar, Reality Bites  scores the first comedy knockout of
the new year. It also brings out the vibrant best in Winona
Ryder and Ethan Hawke as friends who resist being lovers,
makes a star of Janeane Garofalo as their tart-tongued
buddy and puts Ben Stiller on the map as a director." 

Sounds like a job for Amy Adams.

Midrash for elitists —

The novel 2666  by Roberto Bolaño (see Bolaño in this journal
and Adam Kirsch in the above) and …

Matt Helm in Donald Hamilton's 1962 novel The Silencers —

"I cleaned up a little, went downstairs, and, rather than
get the pickup out of hock, paid sixty cents to have a taxi
take me to the international bridge. Two cents let me walk
across the Rio Grande into Mexico. The river bed was
almost dry. The usual skinny dark kids were playing their
usual incomprehensible games around the pools below
the bridge. Stepping off the south end of the span, I was
in a foreign country. Mexicans will tell you defensively that
Juarez isn't Mexico-that no border town is-but it certainly
isn't the United States of America, even though Avenida
Juarez, the street just south of the bridge, does bear a
certain resemblance to Coney Island. I brushed off a
purveyor of dirty pictures and shills for a couple of dirty
movie houses." 

Midrash for populists —

The photo in the New York Times  obituary
above is from the 1966 film based, very
loosely, on Donald Hamilton's The Silencers.

"A professor is all-powerful, Gareth liked to tell his daughter,
he puts ‘a veritable frame around life,’ and ‘organizes the
unorganizable. Nimbly partitions it into modern and postmodern,
renaissance, baroque, primitivism, imperialism and so on. . . .'"
