The street etiquette of avoiding eye contact lets us go about our business without the distraction of interaction. Most people wear the New York “street face.” It’s a kind of neutral expression with a touch of “don’t mess with me.” It has a do-not-disturb aura.

5 historic concert halls… 13 rockin’ jams… 1 extraordinary concert film. Ashes of American Flags follows Wilco during its 2008 U.S. tour of ballrooms, clubs and concert halls, capturing the six-piece band and three-man horn section at such hallowed venues as Tipitina’s in New Orleans and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. The movie premieres on Sundance Channel on Friday, July 3rd at midnight.

This promo was produced by me and edited by my colleague Ben Kim.

This is another edition of why I aspire to be Rahm Emmanuel when I grow up.

I always thought that resting on laurels was a very dangerous thing. Art has to be accompanied by the willingness to take a risk.
