Ai confini della realtà – Anni ottanta
Ai confini della realtà (The Twilight Zone) è una serie televisiva di genere fantascientifico trasmessa in tre diversi periodi dalla televisione americana. La serie classica, creata da Rod Serling e che vide tra gli sceneggiatori Richard Matheson e Ray Bradbury andò in onda dal 1959 al 1964, la seconda serie fu trasmessa dal 1985 al 1989, e l’ultima è andata in onda tra il 2002 e il 2003.
La nuova “Ai confini della realtà” (1985-1989).
Nonostante il progetto di iniziare una nuova stagione fosse in cantiere da tempo, la CBS non si decideva a dare il via libera alle riprese, ma il successo che stava incontrando la fantascienza presso il pubblico del cinema, soprattutto grazie alle opere di Steven Spielberg, molte delle quali prendevano degli spunti proprio dai temi classici del telefilm, convinse infine i dirigenti del network.
Il ritorno in tv della serie fu anticipato dal film, che vedeva tra gli autori proprio Spielberg.
Le tre nuove stagioni del telefilm videro alternarsi alla sceneggiatura una serie di brilanti scrittori, tutti cresciuti nel mito della serie originale, e registi di fama, tra i quali Wes Craven e William Friedkin.
Tra gli attori famosi che presero parte agli episodi, ci furono Martin Landau, Morgan Freeman, Edy Williams e Bruce Willis, protagonista del primo episodio della nuova serie Shatterday, la storia di un uomo che scopre di avere un alter-ego che lo sta per soppiantare nella propria vita.
Al posto di Rod Serling ad introdurre gli episodi della serie fu chiamato Charles Aidman, attore in due episodi della serie classica. La celebre sigla fu reintrepretata nientemeno che dai Grateful Dead.
The Twilight Zone is an American television anthology series created (and often written) by its narrator and host Rod Serling.
The success of this original series led to the creation of two revival series (a cult hit series that ran for several seasons on CBS and in syndication in the 1980s, and a short-lived UPN series that ran early in the new millennium), a feature film, a radio series, a comic book, a magazine and various other spinoffs that would span five decades.
Writers for The Twilight Zone included leading genre authorities such as Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Jerry Sohl, George Clayton Johnson, Earl Hamner, Jr., Reginald Rose, Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury. Many episodes also featured adaptations of classic stories by such writers as Ambrose Bierce, Lewis Padgett, Jerome Bixby and Damon Knight.
It was Serling’s decision to sell his share of the series back to the network that eventually allowed for a Twilight Zone revival. As an in-house production, CBS stood to earn more money producing The Twilight Zone than it could by purchasing a new series produced by an outside company. Even so, the network was slow to consider a revival, shooting down offers from the original production team of Rod Serling and Buck Houghton and later from American filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.

Darling Baby– The Elgins 1965 ( great song )
The Elgins were an American vocal group on the Motown label, active from the late 1950s to 1967. Founding members Robert Fleming, Norbert McClean, and Johnny Dawson recorded for Motown as The Sensations, The Five Emeralds, and The Downbeats before adding Saundra Edwards (Mallett) and adopting the name The Elgins in 1964.
With Edwards on lead vocals, the group recorded several singles for Motown from 1965 to 1967, including the minor hits Darling Baby (1965) and Heaven Must Have Sent You (1966), both written and produced by Motowns main production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The group disbanded in 1968, by which time Edwards had been replaced by Yvonne Allen, although its members periodically recorded covers of its hits for Ian Levines Motorcity Records record label in the UK. Recordings of the band, including the album, Darling Baby, all the singles and unreleased recordings up to 1968, can be found on The Motown Anthology released in 2007.

The Beatles- Something
Another one of George’s best songs, and one of my favourite in the entire Beatles catalogue. Happy Valentine’s Day!
“Something” is a song released by The Beatles in 1969. It was featured on the album Abbey Road, and was also the first song written by George Harrison to appear on the A-side of a Beatles single. It was one of the first Beatles singles to contain tracks already available on a long playing (LP) album, with both “Something” and “Come Together” having appeared on Abbey Road. “Something” was the only Harrison composition to top the American charts while he was in The Beatles.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney—the two principal songwriting members of the band—both praised “Something” as among the best songs Harrison had written. As well as critical acclaim, the single achieved commercial success, topping the Billboard charts in the United States, and entering the top 10 in the United Kingdom. The song has been covered by over 150 artists including Elvis Presley, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, James Brown, Radiohead, Julio Iglesias, Smokey Robinson and Joe Cocker, and is the second-most covered Beatles song after “Yesterday”.
During the 1968 recording sessions for The Beatles (also referred to as the White Album), Harrison began working on a song that eventually became known as “Something”. The song’s first lyrics (”Something in the way she moves/Attracts me like no other lover”) were adapted from an unrelated song by fellow Apple artist James Taylor called “Something In The Way She Moves” and used as filler while the melody was being developed.
Harrison later said that “I had a break while Paul was doing some overdubbing so I went into an empty studio and began to write. That’s really all there is to it, except the middle took some time to sort out. It didn’t go on the White Album because we’d already finished all the tracks.” A demo recording of the song by Harrison from this period appears on the Beatles Anthology 3 collection, released in 1996.
Many believe that Harrison’s inspiration for “Something” was his wife at the time, Pattie Boyd. Boyd also claimed that inspiration in her 2007 autobiography, Wonderful Tonight, where she wrote: “He told me, in a matter-of-fact way, that he had written it for me.”
However, Harrison has cited other sources of inspiration to the contrary. In a 1996 interview he responded to the question of whether the song was about Pattie: “Well no, I didn’t [write it about her]. I just wrote it, and then somebody put together a video. And what they did was they went out and got some footage of me and Pattie, Paul and Linda, Ringo and Maureen, it was at that time, and John and Yoko and they just made up a little video to go with it. So then, everybody presumed I wrote it about Pattie, but actually, when I wrote it, I was thinking of Ray Charles.”
The original intention had been for Harrison to offer the song to Jackie Lomax, as had been done with the previous Harrison composition, “Sour Milk Sea.” When this fell through, the song was given to Joe Cocker (who had previously covered The Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends”); his version came out two months before that of The Beatles. During the Get Back recording sessions for what eventually became Let It Be, Harrison considered using “Something,” but eventually decided against it due to his fear that insufficient care would be taken in its recording; his earlier suggestion of “Old Brown Shoe” had not gone down well with the band. It was only during the recording sessions for Abbey Road that The Beatles began seriously working on “Something.”
The lead vocalist for “Something” was George Harrison. The song runs at a speed of about sixty-six beats per minute and is in common time throughout. The melody begins in the key of C major. It continues in this key throughout the intro and the first two verses, until the eight-measure-long bridge, which is in the key of A major. After the bridge, the melody returns to C Major for the guitar solo, the third verse, and the outro. Although The Beatles had initially attempted an edgier acoustic version of the song, this was dropped along with the counter-melody. A demo of the acoustic version with the counter-melody included was later released as part of Anthology 3. On the final release, the counter-melody was replaced by an instrumental break, and the song was given a softer tone with the introduction of a string arrangement by George Martin, The Beatles’ producer.
Simon Leng said the song’s theme is doubt and uncertainty. Richie Unterberger of Allmusic described it as “an unabashedly straightforward and sentimental love song” at a time “when most of the Beatles’ songs were dealing with non-romantic topics or presenting cryptic and allusive lyrics even when they were writing about love”.
