Vampiro

Sometimes real life feels like a body slam Ottawa Sun 8 May 2009 — Bruce Kirkland Ian Hodgkinson is a sad but exciting story. That story is told as reality in the documentary Vampiro: Angel, Devil, Hero. It is also exploited as pulp fiction in the bloody thriller The Dead Sleep Easy, starring Hodgkinson in a role loosely inspired by his own life. Both arrived on widescreen DVD this week. Both are directed by Ottawa’s Lee Demarbre, known for schlock such as Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter and Harry Knuckles.

Davis, as president of Columbia Records, was always proud of long-term agreements. Miles Davis and Johnny Cash, Leonard Bernstein and Chicago, Barbra Streisand and the Byrds. He fought, with big money, to keep Laura Nyro at his label, and he refused to believe that Dylan was out of his contract for a year after the fact. He took enormous pleasure in what to him must have been no less than resurrections, born of his own personal patience, of Johnny Winter, Blood Sweat & Tears, Santana, Sly Stone, and Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
