The Good News And Bad News: New Respect for Antony, More Disrespect For Kurt

Posted by on Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 12:15 PM

Good news! A new music documentary featuring Antony and the Johnsons:

US PREMIERE - Friday, Oct. 26th, IFC Center, NYC. The indelible music of Antony and the Johnsons has won the admiration of Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, and others. TURNING captures the band in concert collaborating with the filmmaker Charles Atlas (THE LEGEND OF LEIGH BOWERY), celebrating 13 women taking the stage who, like Antony himself, are not easily categorized personas. Whether they are androgynous, transgender, covered in makeup or bare skinned, what is important is that all have stories to tell about the hard-won struggle to be themselves, expressed with the transcendent power of Antony's music. Their stories combine with Antony's mesmerizingly emotional songs to create a powerful journey of struggle and hope.


Bad news! "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is gonna be a CBS sitcom. YUCK! WHY? Uh, grave-roller...
