Re: [FWDLK] SHOW BUSINESS VS THE REAL WORLD.



Just thoughts on your thoughts. I read it quickly and may have missed your intent or meaning.
 
I don't think Tulsa cares whether the car is a car, looks good or whatever, let alone that it starts and runs. It was suposed to be a celebration of their being around another 50 years. from when it was all done. I also imagine they'd car less for all the hoopla, except for the Chamber of Commerce who will be counting the bucks this whole ceremony fills their collective pockets with. Chrysler might have at one time cared. The "drama" if you will, to me, would be just how the car survived it's 50 year hibernation. I don't think it was buried to be a "show business" move as you say.
 
Our church buried a time capsule a few years back. I don't think anyone is thinking is will any grand event when it's opened some years down the road. Most were pondering how it will survive, as well as it's contents, and how things have changed. .
 
I think the "real world" forward lookers could care less about the whole show, I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut most would rather everyone go away, Boyd C. included, and let us "real world" car folks be there, and deal with it. Like Mary & Co.  returning to Jesus' tomb, no crowds, just a mourner, and then worshiper. (not that anyone's gonna worship this car, I hope anyway)  
 
I can't imagine they'd go through the expense of opening Belv's tomb for a sneak peak to prep for the "supposed" initial resurrection.
 
A thought just occurred to me, wish they'd buried a 57 Chevy with it. :-)

   SHOW BUSINESS VS THE REAL WORLD.
 
      Guys, I am not looking to break anybody's balloon or rain on anybody's parade. But I have been in Show Business for more than 25 years. Show business is just what it says, Show business. The first thing you learn in show business is not to make a fool out of yourself by not being prepared for the show, because your good name is on the line, billboard, advertising, commercial, ads, etc. Do you really think that the city of Tulsa is so unprofessional that they are prepared to gamble on bringing up a dirty, rusty, car  with a couple of flat tires that won't start in front of people from all over the country and abroad. If you believe that then you probably think that Mickey Mouse is a real person and he can really talk and does not age.
     Boyd is part of the show, you can be sure there will also be at least one rehearsal without any audience present. There will no doubt be music at the unveiling and someone is working on that also. There are at least 2 or three guys working on lighting for the unveiling and a group deciding who will do the actual unveiling. You really don't think they are going to unveil a dirty, rusty, car with flat tires, that won't start do you? This is why the car is going to be dug up and removed from the vault before you get there. The car will no doubt be cleaned up as much as it needs to be for the unveiling show and believe me it will be started also before the unveiling. Boyd is not going to go on a open to the public show that will probably be filmed, video taped, and broadcast locally and make a fool out of himself by not being able to start the car, and look like a failure before the public. Show business does not work that way. Now don't get me wrong, it will not start right up and it might look hard to start at first-------but that is why they call it
Show business. When you see a movie at a theater did you ever notice that the credits at the end of the movie run for about 2 minutes. That is the hundred or more people that prepared the movie for your viewing. Tulsa also has a production crew and I am sure it will be great and I am sure even with this knowledge of how it works you will still enjoy the unveiling, but now, you will appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this production to make you get your moneys worth so you leave Tulsa as a happy camper. I myself would like to be there if I did not have a prior plans. So I guess I will just have to be happy a month later going to the " All Chrysler National Show at Carlisle, Pa where they are expecting to break last years attendance record of 2,475 cars, All Chrysler Products on their show field and thousands of vendors and also large building with the Experimental and concept cars sent in for display by Chrysler Corporation in Detroit and then ending with the drawling for a beautiful baby blue  Dodge Swinger.

PS.  Tulsa should also have an Edited Edition Video of the car being dug up before you get there for the unveiling and it should be available at the show or after the show. There will undoubtedly be at least one guy from the city of Tulsa that makes his own amateur video tape of the actual digging up of the car and that will be cheaper to buy. (You know -----like the video of Saddam Hussein's hanging.)
