]]> Comment on The Icon of the Order: The Great Gonzo by Dr. Wendell Howe http://www.hoold.org/uncategorized/the-icon-of-the-order-the-great-gonzo#comment-6 Dr. Wendell Howe Fri, 17 Sep 2010 23:18:26 +0000 http://www.hoold.org/?p=20#comment-6 A bit of historical trivia: The Muppet Show premise was that it was a vaudeville show in the American tradition. Gonzo was based on the "Closing Act." Vaudeville shows would have several acts. The headliner was always shown second to the last, so people would stay through the other acts to see the star performance. After that you wanted people to leave so you could then bring in new customers and have another show. They would hire an act so bad or so bizarre that people would walk out on it. By showing this act last, they emptied the theatre without having to bodily shoo customers out. What sort of person would want to be a closing act? The managers probably didn't need to hire someone purposely being bad for them. There are always those poor souls who want in show business so bad they will do anything. These closing acts probably were deluded into thinking they had talent and the audience just doesn't get it. I think that description fits Gonzo. He sees himself as an artist no one appreciates. He is optimistic enough to believe he will come up with a winning act some day that will make him a star. He is doomed to failure and yet he keeps doing what he loves. He throws himself with great enthusiasm in endeavors that are doomed before he begins. And in the end he would tell you it was all worth it. Gonzo would be a tragic figure if he wasn't so dash-it-all happy. A bit of historical trivia: The Muppet Show premise was that it was a vaudeville show in the American tradition.
