'''The End''' is a thirty minute program Joe Frank produced as part of the series [[WBAI And NPR Playhouse|NPR Playhouse]]. It is typically broadcast together with [[Pilot]]. It originally aired in April [[:Category:1983|1983]]. | |||
== Synopsis == | == Synopsis == | ||
"Black Coffee" begins and plays under much of the first few | |||
minutes and in the rest of the show. | |||
0:30: Joe was feeling bad, worried about his heart, went to see Dr | |||
Hess ([[Brother Theodore]]). Dr Hess puts his stethoscope on Joe's chest, | |||
has a heart attack himself; an ambulance takes him to the ED. Dr Hess | |||
ends up in the ICU, his nurse under sedation. | |||
2:10: Joe goes home; someone else is there; he disputes Joe's | |||
ownership, slams the door on him. | |||
== | 3:20: A parody Indian guru says death begins as a misunderstanding. | ||
4:30: Joe interviews Dick ([[Arthur Miller]]) & Jane ([[Irene Wagner]]? [[Avery Hart]]?), | |||
a couple who make 'Love' movies (don't | |||
call it porn!) They air 3 minutes of their latest, <i>The Moving | |||
Instant</i>; we hear sounds of passion, a melodramatic Muzak-y version | |||
of "Moon River". | |||
8:40: Joe opens the flap of Gindu's (sp?) tent, says he's in Nirvana, | |||
'the nexus where love meets death'. A guy pounds stakes into the | |||
ground, he can hear wild animals. Joe goes to the beach where clowns | |||
are doing flips. An explosion blows the clowns up. | |||
10: We're back in the 'love' movie: sounds of passion. Dick & Jane | |||
lament they don't have enough time. | |||
11:10: Joe says it seems like an ordinary pornographic film. They | |||
explain why it's better. | |||
12:40: Joe's in the YMCA on East 14th Street.<ref name=factsrequested>This segment was sampled for the track [https://youtu.be/WHheGwh6fUU?t=208 328 E. 14th St. #11], by [https://herearethefactsyourequested.bandcamp.com/album/shocks-struts The Facts You Requested]</ref> It's 2 AM; Joe can't | |||
sleep: the straw in his mattress needs changing. Joe asks what our | |||
nature is, cites Steinfeld's 'Theory of chaos', page 54. Then a | |||
fellow with a German-ish accent ([[Brother Theodore]]) talks philosophical | |||
nonsense. | |||
13:50: "Sentimental Walk" (Vladimir Cosma)<ref>Cosma was inspired by Erik Satie's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnossiennes ''Gnossiennes'']</ref> | |||
14:10: A woman tells about being with her best friend at the grocery | |||
store. A fellow and his wife, who are buying huge hams, invite them to dinner at their house.<ref>They end up having an orgy, I think.</ref> | |||
18:30: Joe's on the crowded Bosnian express (a train). Workmen play | |||
cards; a drunk at the bar tells everybody that they're stupid. A | |||
passenger ([[Arthur Miller]]) buys and sells animals. The conductor | |||
comes in, asking for passports; Joe doesn't have his but the conductor | |||
passes him by. Joe remembers his summers in Bosnia. A boatman, | |||
offering Joe a ride across the river, can't start its engine. | |||
23:40: Joe has a dream: his body has been split down the middle; a | |||
doctor with forceps pulls out pieces of bone and pottery. | |||
24:30: The parody Indian guru is back, talking about how great | |||
Nirvana is (they leave a mint on your pillow! The roast beef is rare, and very nice.) | |||
25:40: A man ([[Tim Jerome]], his Spanish/French accent) complains to | |||
a woman. He's responsible for burying the clowns, lacks what he needs | |||
to do the job. | |||
26:40: Joe awaits Dick & Jane, who have promised him a part in their | |||
next movie. Someone left a baby by the water. Joe says he's been | |||
dreaming all his life, that this is the end of his dream. | |||
27:20: "The Dawn" (DJ Food) concludes the program, but was not released until 1994 - it was added to the show after the initial broadcast. | |||

<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
Joe's doctor dies, and he finds someone living in his apartment. Voice-over radio plays: an exaggerated Indian accent describes souls who don't know they are dead. An interview with "Love Film" actors. A circus by the sea explodes. Joe can't sleep at the YMCA, emotion is a sign of decadence. Steinfeld's theory of Chaos. A woman describes an encounter with a couple and a girlfriend. Joe is in a bar on a train in the countryside, the conductor questions people (the "Is your business of a personal nature or is it commercial? . . . I buy and sell animals..." dialog), Joe remembers the country side and tries to cross a river. A doctor removes fragments of bone from Joe's body. Indian voice talks about nirvana as a resort hotel. A couple fights at the circus funeral. | |||
