**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** George Clooney LETTERMAN’S EXIT --- This Wednesday will be David Letterman‘s final show. Let me just say that his past two weeks of shows have been nothing short of phenomenal . . . amazing, to be sure. With guests like Tom Waits, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Bill Clinton, Adam Sandler, Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Bruce Willis, Michael Keaton, George Clooney, Ray Romano, a frail-looking Don Rickles (though funny as ever), and just a sterling moment and deep-hearted performance from Norm MacDonald. Suffice to say that Dave’s exit is going to be an immense moment in TV lore. Nothing against the Jimmys, but Dave had the gravitas and grace to do it all. His last two musical guests will be Bob Dylan tomorrow and Eddie Vedder with his still-going-strong group Pearl Jam on Wednesday. Dave’s final guest will be the man who has always been his first: Bill Mu...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Elliot Tiber EYE OF THE TIBER --- When Elliot Tiber’s Taking Woodstock came out in 2007, his true and often wildly ribald story of how the famed 1969 Woodstock festival literally landed in the backyard of his parents’ rundown shambles of a Catskills motel rocked and shocked readers everywhere -- including, of all people, two-time Oscar winning director Ang Lee, who went on to make a terrific movie adapted from the book.  Sure, the film was toned down a bit from Tiber's fiercely absurdest and proudly gay source material, but Lee's vision of Tiber's story made for a stunning picture -- from the actors, including comedy-improv legend Eugene Levy's spot-on performance as the great farmer Max Yasgur and the remarkable Liev Schrieber as a former-Marine transvestite in his second Woodstock-themed films to date (the first being the Dustin Hoffman-produced 1999 drama A Walk on the Moon), to th...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Elliot Tiber WOODSTOCK AT 45 --- Forty-five years ago this summer on August 15, 1969, Elliot Tiber found his own life's freedom just as the late folk singer Richie Havens sang his improvised song "Freedom" from the stage at the Woodstock Festival. As writer of the acclaimed book Taking Woodstock (made by two-time Oscar winning director Ang Lee into a major motion picture released five years ago in the summer of 2009) and its prequel Palm Trees on the Hudson, Tiber has had much to share with audiences about all the amazing things that happened to him both before and during that weird and wild and wonderful time in August 1969 that gave birth to Woodstock Nation.   In terms of what happened to Elliot after Woodstock, that question will soon be answered in detail with the forthcoming publication of Tiber's third and final memoir titled After Woodstock: The True Story of a Belgi...

Weston And Julia Blelock With the 40th Anniversary of 1969's WOODSTOCK festival looming ever closer, a new tome on the actual back story to the event is due in late-June from WESTON and JULIA BLELOCK, to be titled ROOTS OF THE 1969 WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL (Woostock Arts). The first thing that grabs you about the book is the cover shot, a circa-1969 picture op of Woodstockian-BOB DYLAN, on a motorcycle, in the town's famous Village Green ... surely one of the most recognizable locations in the town. The book grew out of a panel conference at the Colony Café, organized by the Blelock’s, featuring some of the true behind-the-scenes characters of the Woodstock Festival era, including the legendary promoter of the show MICHAEL LANG; BILL WEST, a town official in the sixties; JEREMY WILBER, a bartender at the Sled Hill Café, a key watering hole in the sixties; PAUL MCMAHON, a musician and bona fide hippie; JEAN YOUNG, co-author with Michael of the book Woodstock Festival Remembered; and, ...
