Jeffry "Jeff" Wayne (born July 1, 1943) is an American musician. In 1978 he released Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, his musical adaptation of H. G. Wells' science-fiction novel The War of the Worlds. Wayne wrote approximately 3,000 advertising jingles in the 1970s which appeared on television in the United Kingdom, notably a Gordon's Gin commercial which was covered by The Human League.Wayne also composed numerous well-known television themes, including Good Morning Britain (TV-am), ITV's The Big Match and The World of Sport, BBC's 60 Minutes, and for 24 years, the UK's first news radio station, LBC. Wayne wrote feature film and documentary film scores and was musical director for various artists. Wayne published a book called The Book of Tennis and created, produced and scored eight thirty-minute episodes of The Book of Tennis Chronicles that was distributed by Fox Sports in approximately twenty countries, and was broadcast in the US on The Tennis Channel between 2005 and 2008.
Jeff Wayne, known in the stand-up comedy world as "Big Daddy", was born and raised in northern Kentucky. At the age of 14 he decided he wanted to become a stand-up comedian. He later moved to Los Angeles to become part of The Comedy Store. Developing an act, and writing his own material, Wayne was soon working the burgeoning comedy club industry around the United States, becoming a headline act on the circuit, working the Improv's, Funny Bones, and other comedy clubs in cities across the country. Wayne also did five tours for Carlsberg Beer in Europe.
In 1993 Wayne wrote and performed his one-man show, Big Daddy's Barbeque. This show, directed by Ted Lange (Isaac of TV's The Love Boat), was a leap from clubs to theater, and resulted in a popular and critical success. The show had long runs, including 16 weeks in Dallas, and 10 weeks in Tempe and Seattle. Variety called the show a "one man riot" and declared Wayne "a new Will Rogers". The show was a pilot for television first for NBC, then UPN. Wayne has continued to tour with the play and has performed it over 1,000 times.
The Spirit is a fictional masked crimefighter created by cartoonist Will Eisner. He first appeared June 2, 1940 as the main feature of a 16-page, tabloid-sized, newsprint comic book insert distributed in the Sunday edition of Register and Tribune Syndicate newspapers; it was ultimately carried by 20 Sunday newspapers, with a combined circulation of five million copies during the 1940s. "The Spirit Section", as the insert was popularly known, continued until October 5, 1952. It generally included two other, four-page strips (initially Mr. Mystic and Lady Luck), plus filler material. Eisner was the editor, but also wrote and drew most entries—after the first few months, he had the uncredited assistance of writer Jules Feiffer and artists Jack Cole and Wally Wood, though Eisner's singular vision for the character was a unifying factor.
From the 1960s to 1980s, a handful of new Eisner Spirit stories appeared in Harvey Comics and elsewhere, and Warren Publishing and Kitchen Sink Press variously reprinted the newspaper feature in black-and-white comics magazines and in color comic books. In the 1990s and 2000s, Kitchen Sink Press and DC Comics also published new Spirit stories by other writers and artists.
The Spirit was released in the United States on December 25, 2008, and on DVD and Blu-ray on April 14, 2009. The film was a box office flop and received negative reviews, with critics citing its unnecessary humor; melodramatic acting and style; lack of originality; sexist, exploitative overtones; and the stark divergence from the source material.
Plot
In a cat-filled mausoleum in Central City, Denny Colt, also known as The Spirit, receives a call from Detective Sussman about a major case that could involve the Spirit's arch-nemesis, The Octopus. The Spirit dons his costume and travels across rooftops while delivering a voice-over soliloquy about the city being his one true love. A woman (Kimberly Cox) is being mugged in an alley below. He manages to save her, receiving a knife wound that he barely seems to notice. The woman asks, "What are you?", with an arriving officer answering, "That's The Spirit". The Spirit runs away, catching a ride from Officer Liebowitz and heading toward the flats.
The Michael Jordan statue, officially known as The Spirit (and sometimes referred to as Michael Jordan's Spirit), is a bronze sculpture by Omri Amrany and Julie Rotblatt-Amrany outside the United Center in the Near West Sidecommunity area of Chicago. The sculpture was originally commissioned after Jordan's initial retirement following three consecutive NBA championships and unveiled prior to the Bulls taking residence in their new home stadium the following year. Depicting Basketball Hall of Fame member Michael Jordan and unveiled on November 1, 1994, the 12-foot (3.7m) sculpture stands atop a 5-foot (1.52m)black granite base. Although not critically well received, the statue has established its own legacy as a meeting place for fans at subsequent Bulls championships and as a rallying point for Chicago Blackhawks fans during their prideful times.

Justin Hayward - Forever Autumn (1978) [with lyrics on screen]
Justin Hayward, born 14 October 1946 is an English musician, best known as singer, songwriter and lead singer and guitarist in the rock band The Moody Blues.

The best-known version is the recording by Justin Hayward from the album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. Wayne wanted to include a love song on the album that sounded like "Forever Autumn", and he decided that the best course of action was to simply use the original song.

The song reached No.5 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1978.

Justin Hayward, born 14 October 1946 is an English musician, best known as singer, songwriter and lead singer and guitarist in the rock band The Moody Blues. "Forever Autumn" is a song written by Jeff Wayne, Gary Osborne and Paul Vigrass. The original melody was written by Wayne in 1969 as a jingle for a Lego commercial. Vigrass and Osborne, the performers of the original jingle, added lyrics to the song and recorded it for inclusion on their 1972 album Queues. The best-known version is the recording by Justin Hayward from the album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. Wayne wanted to include a love song on the album that sounded like "Forever Autumn", and he decided that the best course of action was to simply use the original song. Hayward, of The Moody Blues, was hand-picked by Wayne to sing it (because, Wayne said, he "wanted that voice from 'Nights In White Satin'"), and it was recorded at London's Advision Studios in 1976. The song reached No.5 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1978.
Jeffry "Jeff" Wayne (born July 1, 1943) is an American musician. In 1978 he released Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, his musical adaptation of H. G. Wells' science-fiction novel The War of the Worlds. Wayne wrote approximately 3,000 advertising jingles in the 1970s which appeared on television in the United Kingdom, notably a Gordon's Gin commercial which was covered by The Human League.Wayne also composed numerous well-known television themes, including Good Morning Britain (TV-am), ITV's The Big Match and The World of Sport, BBC's 60 Minutes, and for 24 years, the UK's first news radio station, LBC. Wayne wrote feature film and documentary film scores and was musical director for various artists. Wayne published a book called The Book of Tennis and created, produced and scored eight thirty-minute episodes of The Book of Tennis Chronicles that was distributed by Fox Sports in approximately twenty countries, and was broadcast in the US on The Tennis Channel between 2005 and 2008.

A jaunt through comics trailblazer and maestro Will Eisner's greatest hits, with three (and a half!) different ways to sample his comics work for the first time.
Includes flip-through reviews and overviews of the Spirit, and the Contract with God trilogy (A Contract with God, A Life Force, and Dropsie Avenue), and features a couple of other W.W.Norton Will Eisner Library paperbacks, as well as three hardcover 'omnibus' editions (The Contract with God Trilogy; Life, in Pictures; and Will Eisner's New York: Life in the Big City).
Also included is a quick look at Will Eisner's Quarterly, a comics magazine from Kitchen Sink Press in the 1980s, and my personal favourite way to read Eisner (so far!)

A very quick look at one 'issue' of the Spirit Section, Will Eisner's groundbreaking Sunday newspaper insert. From June 2, 1946, this issue contains the 7-page story 'Tidal Wave' as well as a Lady Luck story and a Flatfoot Burns story. We zip through the look and feel of this classic newspaper comic, somewhere between a strip and a comic book!

The hammering from the pit and the pounding of guns grew louder. My fear rose at the sound of someone creeping into the house. Then I saw it was a young artilleryman, weary, streaked with blood and dirt. Artilleryman: Anyone here? Journalist: Come in. Here, drink this. Artilleryman: Thank you. Journalist: What's happened? Artilleryman: They wiped us out. Hundreds dead, maybe thousands. Journalist: The heat ray? Artilleryman: The Martians. They were inside the hoods of machines they'd made, massive metal things on legs. Giant machines that walked. They attacked us. They wiped us out. Journalist: Machines? Artilleryman: Fighting machines, picking up men and bashing them against trees. Just hunks of metal, but they knew exactly what they were doing. Journalist: Hmm. There was another cylinder came last night. Artilleryman: Yes. Yes, it looked bound for London. London! Carrie! I hadn't dreamed there could be danger to Carrie and her father, so many miles away. Journalist: I must go to London at once. Artilleryman: And me, got to report to headquarters, if there's anything left of it. At Byfleet, we came upon an inn, but it was deserted. Artilleryman: Is everybody dead? Journalist: Not everybody, look... Six cannons with gunners standing by. Artilleryman: Bows and arrows against the lightning. Journalist: Hmm. Artilleryman: They haven't seen the heat ray yet. We hurried along the road to Weybridge. Suddenly, there was a heavy explosion and gusts of smoke erupted into the air. Artilleryman: Look! There they are! What did I tell you! Quickly, one after the other, four of the fighting machines appeared. Monstrous tripods, higher than the tallest steeple, striding over the pine trees and smashing them, walking tripods of glittering metal. Each carried a huge funnel and I realized with horror that I'd seen this awful thing before A fifth Machine appeared on the far bank. It raised itself to full height, flourished the funnel high in the air - and the ghostly, terrible Heat Ray struck the town. JOURNALIST: As it struck, all five Fighting Machines exulted, emitting deafening howls which roared like thunder. MARTIANS: Ulla! Ulla! JOURNALIST: The six guns we had seen now fired simultaneously, decapitating a Fighting Machine. The Martian inside the hood was slain, splashed to the four winds, and the body, nothing now but an intricate device of metal, went whirling to destruction. As the other Monsters advanced, people ran away blindly, the Artilleryman among them, but I jumped into the water and hid until forced up to breathe. Now the guns spoke again, but this time the Heat Ray sent them to oblivion. MARTIANS: Ulla! JOURNALIST: With a white flash, the Heat Ray swept across the river. Scalded, half- blinded and agonized, I staggered through leaping, hissing water towards the shore. I fell helplessly, in full sight of the Martians, expecting nothing but death. The foot of a Fighting Machine came down close to my head, then lifted again, as the four Martians carried away the debris of their fallen comrade... and I realized that by a miracle , I had escaped.
