Count MoriVond performs: "A Satire on Charles II"

Count MoriVond performs: “A Satire on Charles II”

Count MoriVond“A Satire on Charles II” written by the 2nd Earl of Rochester, John Wilmot. A theatrical lambasting of the reign of King Charles, the 2nd. An iconic figure, the Stuart… so much so that I’ve decided to dress as the merry monarch in this buffoonery-laden spoof. Mad Earl. Merry Monarch. The Merry Gang….…

A bit of an introduction. 

I, write and perform poetry. Often bawdy and lurid, rather “dark” as well - but I never take myself too seriously... so these are sometimes accompanied with a dash of self-deflating comic buffoonery... sometimes. 

I like reciting classic pieces of poetry as well. And I enjoy the regal aesthetics of the Baroque and Romantic periods. 

Hope you enjoy what you see here https://www.youtube.com/CountMoriVond  as there’s plenty more to come. Be a joy and Subscribe! 

Thank you.

Sad to hear about Glenn O'Brien's passing.... He was a huge inspiration, as an editor, writer, style Icon. He was also kind enough to invite me into his home solely based on the fact that he had heard me and my brother Joakim's podcast (as one of 300 listeners). I took this photo of him in his livingroom on Manhattan in September 2015, after having recorded an hour long podcast interview. He said I was a good interviewer, which is up there among the five most memorable complimaints I have recieved in my life. Rest in peace, Glenn, your words will live forever. ❤ @lordrochester #glennobrien #theoriginalstyleguy #thestyleguy #inspiration #rip (på/i Manhattan, New York)

R.I.P @lordrochester your retweet in 2013 meant the world to me.

For those who don’t know him, here’s a nice read by Douglas Brundage.

RIP Glenn O’Brien: The End of the Downtown Rainbow                                    A New York City legend that men try so hard, with such woebegone results, to be today. 

The last cool guy is gone.

Cool, in the beat sense of the word. Restrained. Ethereal. Right there, yet unattainable. Always approachable, but right out the door the minute you snag a seat at the table. It was no coincidence that his column in Interview was called “Glenn O’Brien’s BEAT.”

“Socialism begins with going out every night.” — Glenn O’Brien

Born in Cleveland and educated at Washington, D.C.’s illustrious Georgetown University, Glenn O’Brien was the ultimate New Yorker, learning everything from the cobblestone-slicked streets of Downtown Manhattan.

A short review of Mr. O’Brien’s accomplishments include: Moving to New York in 1970 and immediately befriending Andy Warhol at The Factory; launching Interview for Mr. Warhol and editing the magazine for four years; collaborating on a film (New York Beat aka Downtown 81) with a young artist named Jean-Michel Basquiat; inventing the term “Editor-At-Large” while avoiding his duty as Editor-In-Chief of High Times in a combination of drug-fueled paranoia and laziness; hosting TV Party, the most important public-access cable show of all time; becoming Creative Director for Barneys New York’s advertising department; writing a play called DRUGS with friend Cookie Mueller; editing Madonna’s SEX book; contributing to ArtForum with a critical advertising column called “Like Art”; dominating the pages of Details and then GQ as The Style Guy; working as Creative Director for Island Records for two years; collaborating with Richard Prince on a book and piece of performance art in which he dressed up as a priest and held confessional; writing brilliant blog posts about the death of New York City’s summer hotspot, The Hamptons; launching a new digital TV show — Tea at the Beatrice — while in his 60s, and being very early on Supreme.

“People who are dressing to try and simulate youth… they’re not aging gracefully. They’re being dragged screaming into maturity.” — Glenn O’Brien

A few threads of Mr. O’Brien’s personality are woven across all of his endeavors. His aesthetic is defined by wit, elegance, and a keen sense of no-bullshit realism. Although often heralded for his sacrosanct sense of style, his pizzazz for the English language is something to live in awe of. Take, for example, the manifesto of his public-access TV show, TV Party — the “television show that’s a cocktail party, but which also is a political party.” First published in BOMB magazine in 1981, it includes refrains such as:

“TV PARTY believes that SOCIAL affinity groups will provide the foundation for any effective political action. SOCIAL DREAD is what keeps citizens out of existing political organizations. Existing political organizations such as the political parties do not have the inclination or ability to truly PARTY, indicating the negative character of their functions…” and “GOVERNMENT consists of GOING THROUGH CHANNELS. We can change the government simply by CHANGING THE CHANNEL. CONTINENTAL PROGRAMMING is the enemy of culture, which is always local. A national American culture is as impossible as it is undesirable. The attempt to create such a culture by the CONTINENTAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS MONOPOLIES is the last and most reprehensible phase of imperialism, a technique termed ‘Global Absorption’ by National Security Guru Zbigniew Brezinski. It is responsible for destroying whatever fledgling cultures existed on this continent at the turn of the century. It is responsible for SHOPPING CENTER ARCHITECTURE and TRAFFIC COP as CULTURE HERO.”

In the era when Anthony Bourdain can open an Asian night market-inspired yuppie emporium on Manhattan’s previously-seedy Pier 57 and Vetements can charge $920 for a Snoop Dogg T-shirt, it can seem hard to believe that mixing and matching high and low cultural artifacts was ever considered disruptive. It was, however, and Mr. O’Brien championed it like few before him (besides, maybe, his mentor Andy Warhol). During one of the few times I met Glenn O’Brien, he went out of his way to call attention to a double-breasted Dries Van Noten jacket that he was donning. “I bought it on YOOX,” he confided in me. “On sale. I didn’t like the lining so I had it torn out and replaced with a fine cotton jersey.” He implored me to touch it. He was courteous, kind and completely unpretentious. Obscure high fashion haberdashery — lined in reliable soft old T-shirts.

Mr. O’Brien was a visionary who always stayed true to himself, yet mounted and rode the lumbering behemoth of modern capitalism right to the oasis that quenched his own creative thirst. In the process, he also acquired an excessive amount of Hermés ties. He hosted guests including Chris Stein and Debbie Harry, David Byrne, Mick Jones, Robert Mapplethorpe, Iggy Pop and Jean-Michel Basquiat on his TV show. He defined a scene, but was not a socialite. He wrote plays but was not a thespian. He epitomized style but was not a designer. He reviewed art, but was not a critic. He was the business-minded, art-directing, golden-tongued, sharply-dressed, ever-popular voice of reason and champion of beauty — a New York City legend that men try so hard, with such woebegone results, to be today.

He was downtown, grown-up.

“I remember Nixon’s second inauguration. I threw rocks, got tear gassed. I was sure that Nixon would be the last president. Wow, was I early!” — Glenn O’Brien

On the 30th anniversary of his mentor Andy Warhol’s final breath, Glenn opined ominously on Instagram:

“Who’s opinion will I care about now?”

Reading #johnevelyn & #samuelpepys accounts of #queencatherine of Braganza's #masques in the 1660's it quickly dispels my idea of a #ball - these #masques were salons run by women who wrote & acted in #subversive & wildy #risque productions #satirising men & the games they play with women - The Queen was often assisted by famous Court #wit & #spy #aphrabehn also known as #agent160 #Astrea & attended by #lordRochester - these naughty #masques belie the notion that #QueenCatherine was the prude history has painted of her (at Mount Street Mayfair)

‘Glenn O’Brien was a legend in New York City and beyond for his endless well of creativity. He was a member of Andy Warhol’s Factory and was the first-ever editor of Warhol’s Interview magazine, where he worked from 1970 to 1974. His association with Interview magazine lasted nearly two decades as he continued to write for the publication and returned several times as editor. After leaving Interview, O’Brien became the New York bureau chief of Rolling Stone. During the punk era, he was a music critic for Interview where he wrote his famous column “Glenn O’Brien’s Beat,” which ran until 1990. After he left Rolling Stone, he decamped to Chicago to serve as the articles editor at Oui magazine, which was part of the Playboy Corporation, before returning to New York City in 1976 to become the articles editor at High Times.

...

From 1978 to 1982 O’Brien hosted a public access television show called “Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party” which featured everyone from David Byrne, Klaus Nomi, and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Blondie, The Clash, and The Fleshtones. In recent years, he hosted an M2M TV series on Apple TV called “Tea at the Beatrice,” interviewing luminaries like director Baz Luhrmann. “We shoot two [episodes] in a day. I have a great team that I’m working with, so I can just kind of show up,” 

...

O’Brien wrote a forward-thinking column on advertising from 1984 to 1988 for ArtForum and was also well-known for being the creative director of advertising and communication at Barneys New York for 10 years. He started at Barneys as a copywriter in 1986 and became the creative director just two years later. He also lent his brilliant vision to campaigns, having overseen the creative direction of ads for Christian Dior and Calvin Klein, including the iconic Marky Mark [Mark Wahlberg] and Kate Moss campaign and many more for Calvin Klein’s famous fragrances. In 2012, his groundbreaking campaign with Brad Pitt for Chanel No. 5 received so much attention, it even landed on Saturday Night Live in a spoof by comedian Taran Killam that quickly went viral.

He edited Madonna’s infamous book, Sex, in 1992 and Girly Show in 1994. He has co-authored a major tome on Basquiat and he has authored many books, including The Style Guy, How To Be a Man: A Guide To Style and Behavior For The Modern Gentleman, and Berluti: At Their Feet.

...

O’Brien’s last tweet on February 22 under his handle @lordrochester read, “Andy Warhol died 30 years ago today. I remember thinking, ‘Who’s opinion will I care about now?'” Many on this day, April 7, will remember Glenn O’Brien and feel the same way for decades to come.’
