Make The Motorcycles Run On Time

By greg on August 6, 2009 6:39 AM

When you watch this 1950s newsreel footage of an [the?] Italian police motorcycle drill team, turn off the music [it's not original anyway] and instead, just make motorcycle noises, and occasional exclamations of "Mama mia!" and "Magnifico!" maybe slip in a little reflexive, "Il Duce!" or two for old time's sake. [via anonymous works]

Since 2001 here at greg.org, I've been blogging about the creative process—my own and those of people who interest me. That mostly involves filmmaking, art, writing, research, and the making thereof.

Many thanks to the Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Program for supporting greg.org that time.
