    Billie Eilish and Finneas perform ‘My Future’
    in ‘Tiny Desk Concert’



    By Jem Aswad, Variety

    August 26, 2020


    "Billie Eilish and her brother/musical collaborator Finneas were supposed to be six months into their “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” world tour — but just two dates into the tour, it was postponed due to coronavirus.

    The pair have been keeping busy over the past few months, playing livestream benefits, Billie did an Apple Music radio show with her dad, and of course they performed during the Democratic National Convention last week, with Billie delivering a powerful anti-Trump speech.

    The latest move in their virtual tour from home was playing two songs for NPR’s long-running Tiny Desk Concert series — from their home, but in front of a giant cardboard photograph of the NPR offices where the concerts took place in non-quarantined times.

    “I’m honored to be here, we have both been watching [‘Tiny Desk’] for years,” Eilish said, in a tone that conveyed her deep frustration that lockdown has imposed upon all of us. “Quarantine’s been weird — I know you all feel the same, it’s been weird, we don’t know how long it’s gonna go. There’s barely anything that feels like there’s any hope in. But I think the future is something to be super hopeful in, and the unknown, and what is to come. We’ll be okay one day — maybe not right now, but that’s what’s making me hold on.”

    The pair perform their two latest singles, “My Future” and “Everything I Wanted,” the only new material they’ve released since their “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” album, which saw them sweeping the main categories at the Grammys. At the end of the performance, the camera pulls out to reveal the Hollywood-like setting, with the backdrop held up by 2x4s."

    I sense some of it comes with the hype/shock value of the video hype/shock music promo/production industry ... Though we must also consider her (still youthful 18 year old) free spirited (parental influenced) and Hollywood raised values and upbringing... But this item might also shed some light on her dark side ...


    Is Billie Eilish a devil worshipper? Hell, no

    Thinking

    And speaking of departing ...

    Cathy Smith, who injected John
    Belushi with fatal overdose, dies
    at 73



    By Greg Evans, Deadline

    August 28, 2020



    Cathy Smith, seen here in 1982, served 18 months for supplying John Belushi with drugs.

    "Cathy Smith, the onetime girlfriend of singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot who might have been best remembered for inspiring the hit song “Sundown” had she not met up with John Belushi at the Chateau Marmont on March 5, 1982, died Aug. 18 at the age of 73.

    Her death was reported by Canada’s The Globe and Mail. The longtime resident of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, had been on oxygen and in failing health the past few years, the newspaper said.

    Smith, who had been a back-up singer (and occasional drug supplier) to the Canadian rockers who would later become The Band (she claimed “The Weight” was inspired by her), admitted to injecting Belushi with the heroin and cocaine that led to his death at age 33. In a 1986 plea bargain, she pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and several drug charges and served a 15-month prison sentence at California Institution for Women. Upon release, she was deported to her native Canada, where she reportedly took a job in Toronto as a legal secretary.

    Until Belushi’s death, Smith was known in rock music circles for singing back-up for Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel, later founding members of The Band, and in the early 1970s becoming Lightfoot’s girlfriend and muse. Lightfoot wrote the #1 1974 hit “Sundown” about his tumultuous, extramarital and occasionally violent relationship with Smith, the dark lyrics masked by a lilting, bluesy melody: “Sundown you better take care/If I find you been creepin’ ’round my back stairs.”

    In the late 1970s, Smith was a back-up singer for country star Hoyt Axton, and, according to “Wired,” Bob Woodward’s 1984 biography of Belushi, sold drugs to the Rolling Stones’ Ron Wood and Keith Richards. Though she had briefly met Belushi when Lightfoot appeared on “Saturday Night Live” in 1976, she became reacquainted with the comedian through her dealings with Wood and Richards.

    Smith was portrayed by Patti D’Arbanville in director Larry Peerce’s 1989 film adaptation of Woodward’s “Wired” starring Michael Chiklis as Belushi.

    Smith was quickly reviled for her role in Belushi’s death (a sentiment that was largely avoided by Belushi’s male drug buddies, including friends Robin Williams and Robert De Niro, both of whom reportedly snorted cocaine with the comedian on the night of his death, according to Shawn Levy’s 2019 book “The Castle on Sunset”).

    But at least one old friend remained loyal. In an interview this week with The Globe and Mail, Lightfoot said, “Cathy was a great lady. Men were drawn to her, and she used to make me jealous. But I don’t have a bad thing to say about her.”

    As my daughter described ... Eilish taps into the notion of 'dissonance' in music. She said that classical music such as by Mozart/Beethoven was even used to dispel demons through the art of 'dissonance'. Anyway, it seems Eilish has two sides, one light, one dark. She started 'light' and is now exploring the 'dark'. Props are props ... music theory I reckon'

    Personal life


    As of early 2020, Eilish continues to live with her parents and brother in Los Angeles's Highland Park neighborhood. She has revealed that she has Tourette syndrome, synesthesia, and depression. She was raised vegetarian and regularly advocates veganism on social media. In a radio interview Eilish's parents revealed that they once considered taking Eilish into a therapy session for her childhood obsession with Justin Bieber.

    I preferred Justin's boyish looks to the scruffy appearance he now seems to cultivate.

    I didn't know about Billie's synesthesia. That's fascinating. I wonder if she does art to music.

    Hope you have a cosmic ride, Gio.
