Local obits
Dec. 30th, 2005 05:54 pmFilm maker Stevenson Palfi, Times-Picayune obit First aquantance among the post-Katrina suicides. A friend of friends. I have happy memories of him at some of the music & discussion salons the late Al Rose used to give. His films are likely to outlive anyone who ever met him. RIP, man.
O'Neil Broyard, owner of Saturn Bar The Saturn Bar in the Upper 9th Ward was one of the city's more bizzare downscale sights -- worth seeing if one's nose could take it. The retro-exterior was one of the local sights used in the film "Ray"; the interior was perhaps too strange for anyone this side of David Lynch. A neighborhood dive bar jam packed with garage sale packrat finds, paintings which alcoholic beatnick artists of generations past used to pay their tab, taxidermy and neon... During the September of Exile, a friend on the phone responded to the news that Bywater was listed as one of the areas flooded with the comment "Well, the Saturn Bar is probably cleaner than it's been in our lifetimes." comments on neworleans livejournal community with link to an interview with "Mr. Neil".
