"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>Thanks to some stellar research by \u003ca href=\"https://nowthisnews.com/steve-bannon-hip-hop-rap-musical\">Now This News\u003c/a>, we now know that, one day in the not-that-distant past, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bannon\">Steve Bannon\u003c/a> (currently President Trump's chief strategist) woke up and decided that writing a play based (extremely loosely) on William Shakespeare's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolanus\">Coriolanus\u003c/a> \u003c/em>was an excellent idea\u003cem>.\u003c/em> He also inexplicably decided to\u003cem> \u003c/em>set the action in the midst of the LA riots. (You can't make this stuff up.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good people at \u003ca href=\"https://nowthisnews.com/\">Now This\u003c/a> organized a table read and put the \u003ca href=\"https://nowthisnews.com/steve-bannon-hip-hop-rap-musical\">side-splitting results online\u003c/a>. You should know going into this that Bannon and his co-author Julia Jones somehow managed to reduce a play that was originally two and a half hours long, down to a little over 20 minutes. They titled it \u003cem>The Thing I Am,\u003c/em> re-purposed Coriolanus as a gang member (who, in his death, unites the Crips and Bloods -- but of course!), and massacred Shakespeare's original text.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those of you brave enough, you can watch the full video here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://nowthisnews.com/steve-bannon-hip-hop-rap-musical\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, for those of you wishing to avoid the stomach-churning awfulness of this thing, we decided to sit through it for you and make some notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What follows are the five most startling aspects of \u003cem>The Thing I Am.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. BANNON AND JONES TRYING AND FAILING TO BE \"STREET\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know that cringe-worthy thing when white kids from the suburbs try to be \"street\" and use lingo they've heard in their favorite rap songs? Bannon and Jones' screenplay sounds a bit like that, only 100 times more offensive because THEY ARE ADULTS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. \u003cem>THE THING I AM\u003c/em> KIND OF STICKS TO THE ORIGINAL \u003cem>CORIOLANUS\u003c/em> TEXT, BUT THEN... TOTALLY NOT\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most jarring elements of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> (aside from all the flagrant racism) is the juxtaposition of Shakespearean-style language and what Bannon and Jones consider street slang. The two styles aren't integrated, but instead thrown at each other and awkwardly mashed together at random.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more strangely, there are entire sections of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> that steal phrasing from the original \u003cem>Coriolanus\u003c/em> text, only to pair it with flourishes of gratuitous cursing (or references to crack), for reasons that are entirely unfathomable. At one point, Volumnia and Virgilia conduct a conversation that is a super-watered down version of \u003cem>Coriolanus\u003c/em> Act 1, Scene 3, except in Bannon and Jones' version, Volumnia inserts a \"Bitch, please!\" into the exchange -- presumably because that's how Bannon and Jones think black people talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's another one of the most astonishing examples of this happening:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CORIOLANUS\u003c/em> ORIGINAL TEXT (Act 1, Scene 1):\u003cbr>\nMarcius: “He that depends upon your favors swims with fins of lead. Hang ye! Trust ye? With every minute you do change a mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>STEVE BANNON LITERARY NIGHTMARE SPIRAL:\u003cbr>\nMarcius: “Peep game, boy. To count on them for favors is to swim with fins of lead. So f**k you! Trust you? Ha ha ha! With each passing minute, you change your common mind. You cry against the other -- crackers, blood, crip, po-po, pol, the rich it doesn’t matter. N*ggas; awe keeps.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At any given moment, it is impossible to know whether to be offended, disturbed or grateful for the sheer accidental comedy on display in this thing...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. THE STAGE DIRECTIONS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY A 10-YEAR OLD BOY\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's difficult to know what Bannon and Jones were thinking when they came up with these directions (but we'd bet... not much):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Coriolanus stands out awkwardly among the upright citizenry, like a WWF wrestling hero, tight tee, muscles bulging\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>A wall of monitors, monstrous talking heads chewing the scenery… A Chris Matthews 'Hardball' type is setting up to interview Coriolanus\u003c/em>.”\u003cbr>\n[Which begs the question: What does Steve Bannon have against Chris Matthews?!]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Aufidius says nothing. He checks the gun barrel, then picks up a rod and begins cleaning it. As he talks, the gun transforms: it’s deadly, it’s sexual\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is this what life looks and sounds like inside Steve Bannon's brain? It would explain so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. MOST ASTOUNDING LINES\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all fairness, most of the lines of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> are pretty astonishing, but the following get special mentions for being particularly jaw-dropping / offensive:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rider: “Coriolanus is king o’ the day. The bitches are going off crazy like frogs, and the wiggers are kissin' his ass.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriolanus: “Why in this house n*gger suit would I sit here to mad-dog Dick and Jane?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gangsta Voiceover: “Let’s unite and don’t gangbang, and let it be a black thing for the little black girl and homie Rodney King. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If LAPD hurt a black, we’ll kill two. Pow, pow, pow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriolanus: “You who’d be less chicken-shit than Uncle Tom, who loves a noble life more than a long…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guard 1: “Who let the po-po beat him? You think the groans of bitches or your virgin daughter… will blow out the fire intended for your city?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crip Soldiers: “Red rum! Red rum! Red rum!”\u003cbr>\n[We imagine that only stealing from Shakespeare was exhausting for Bannon and Jones, so they threw some action from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1sRAd_i2W4\">\u003cem>The Shining\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in for good measure.

(You can't make this stuff up.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good people at \u003ca href=\"https://nowthisnews.com/\">Now This\u003c/a> organized a table read and put the \u003ca href=\"https://nowthisnews.com/steve-bannon-hip-hop-rap-musical\">side-splitting results online\u003c/a>. You should know going into this that Bannon and his co-author Julia Jones somehow managed to reduce a play that was originally two and a half hours long, down to a little over 20 minutes. They titled it \u003cem>The Thing I Am,\u003c/em> re-purposed Coriolanus as a gang member (who, in his death, unites the Crips and Bloods -- but of course!), and massacred Shakespeare's original text.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those of you brave enough, you can watch the full video here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://nowthisnews.com/steve-bannon-hip-hop-rap-musical\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, for those of you wishing to avoid the stomach-churning awfulness of this thing, we decided to sit through it for you and make some notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What follows are the five most startling aspects of \u003cem>The Thing I Am.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. BANNON AND JONES TRYING AND FAILING TO BE \"STREET\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know that cringe-worthy thing when white kids from the suburbs try to be \"street\" and use lingo they've heard in their favorite rap songs? Bannon and Jones' screenplay sounds a bit like that, only 100 times more offensive because THEY ARE ADULTS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. \u003cem>THE THING I AM\u003c/em> KIND OF STICKS TO THE ORIGINAL \u003cem>CORIOLANUS\u003c/em> TEXT, BUT THEN... TOTALLY NOT\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most jarring elements of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> (aside from all the flagrant racism) is the juxtaposition of Shakespearean-style language and what Bannon and Jones consider street slang. The two styles aren't integrated, but instead thrown at each other and awkwardly mashed together at random.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more strangely, there are entire sections of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> that steal phrasing from the original \u003cem>Coriolanus\u003c/em> text, only to pair it with flourishes of gratuitous cursing (or references to crack), for reasons that are entirely unfathomable. At one point, Volumnia and Virgilia conduct a conversation that is a super-watered down version of \u003cem>Coriolanus\u003c/em> Act 1, Scene 3, except in Bannon and Jones' version, Volumnia inserts a \"Bitch, please!\" into the exchange -- presumably because that's how Bannon and Jones think black people talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's another one of the most astonishing examples of this happening:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CORIOLANUS\u003c/em> ORIGINAL TEXT (Act 1, Scene 1):\u003cbr>\nMarcius: “He that depends upon your favors swims with fins of lead. Hang ye! Trust ye? With every minute you do change a mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>STEVE BANNON LITERARY NIGHTMARE SPIRAL:\u003cbr>\nMarcius: “Peep game, boy. To count on them for favors is to swim with fins of lead. So f**k you! Trust you? Ha ha ha! With each passing minute, you change your common mind. You cry against the other -- crackers, blood, crip, po-po, pol, the rich it doesn’t matter. N*ggas; awe keeps.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At any given moment, it is impossible to know whether to be offended, disturbed or grateful for the sheer accidental comedy on display in this thing...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. THE STAGE DIRECTIONS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY A 10-YEAR OLD BOY\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's difficult to know what Bannon and Jones were thinking when they came up with these directions (but we'd bet... not much):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Coriolanus stands out awkwardly among the upright citizenry, like a WWF wrestling hero, tight tee, muscles bulging\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>A wall of monitors, monstrous talking heads chewing the scenery… A Chris Matthews 'Hardball' type is setting up to interview Coriolanus\u003c/em>.”\u003cbr>\n[Which begs the question: What does Steve Bannon have against Chris Matthews?!]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Aufidius says nothing. He checks the gun barrel, then picks up a rod and begins cleaning it. As he talks, the gun transforms: it’s deadly, it’s sexual\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is this what life looks and sounds like inside Steve Bannon's brain? It would explain so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. MOST ASTOUNDING LINES\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all fairness, most of the lines of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> are pretty astonishing, but the following get special mentions for being particularly jaw-dropping / offensive:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rider: “Coriolanus is king o’ the day. The bitches are going off crazy like frogs, and the wiggers are kissin' his ass.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriolanus: “Why in this house n*gger suit would I sit here to mad-dog Dick and Jane?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gangsta Voiceover: “Let’s unite and don’t gangbang, and let it be a black thing for the little black girl and homie Rodney King. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If LAPD hurt a black, we’ll kill two. Pow, pow, pow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriolanus: “You who’d be less chicken-shit than Uncle Tom, who loves a noble life more than a long…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guard 1: “Who let the po-po beat him? You think the groans of bitches or your virgin daughter… will blow out the fire intended for your city?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crip Soldiers: “Red rum! Red rum! Red rum!”\u003cbr>\n[We imagine that only stealing from Shakespeare was exhausting for Bannon and Jones, so they threw some action from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1sRAd_i2W4\">\u003cem>The Shining\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in for good measure. Thanks, guys!]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5.

At the age of 13, he was captured and, w\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">hile in captivity, was not treated well. When a British general ordered Jackson to polish his boots, Jackson, who was known for being bold and having a temper, essentially told this Brit to go f--k himself. This did not go over well. The British officer took out a blade and slashed Jackson, leaving a scar that would last the rest of his life. Trump has no battle scars, thanks to deferring military service five times (\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/us/politics/donald-trump-draft-record.html\">four for college, one for bad feet\u003c/a>).\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Jackson was known as a troublemaker\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the age of 15, Jackson's mother and both of his brothers had died. Alone in the world, he blew off steam by getting into trouble. One of his neighbors testified to this: \"Andrew Jackson was the most roaring, rollicking, game-cocking, horse-racing, card-playing, mischievous fellow that ever lived in Salisbury.\" Trump's youth was reportedly marked by \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/young-donald-trump-military-school/2016/06/22/f0b3b164-317c-11e6-8758-d58e76e11b12_story.html?utm_term=.81d0ab4075a8\">similar exploits\u003c/a>: pulling girls' hair, throwing rocks at neighbors, almost pushing a classmate out of a second-story window, even hitting teachers.

Photo: Library of Congress\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After a short tint in the Senate (he resigned one year into his term because he didn't like meetings), Jackson got involved in another war, this time the War of 1812. He won a decisive victory in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, killing more Native Americans than on any other day in U.S. history (pause for side-eye). With the help of free African Americans, Native Americans, and -- randomly enough -- French pirates, he went on to pull a major upset in the Battle of New Orleans, changing the course of the War of 1812. SAT analogy: George Washington was to the Revolutionary War as Andrew Jackson was to the War of 1812.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of the victory spread quickly, and Jackson became a bona fide celebrity, inspiring songs, clubs, holidays, and more. Again, there's no Trump parallel because bad feet, but the following quote -- said about Jackson -- rings true for both men: \"He was a cultural force before he was a political force.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Jackson branded himself as a voice for the common man\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following his war hero fame, Jackson ran for President against John Quincy Adams, the acting Secretary of State. Adams was intelligent, had a history of overseas diplomacy, and intimately knew what goes into the role (his father, John Adams, was a former president and one of the Founding Fathers). Jackson used these qualities as proof that Adams was a corrupt insider who was out of touch with the people. Jackson argued that his lack of a resume proved that he could be a champion for the common man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The similarities between the 1824 and 2016 elections are obvious, but the results differ. Despite winning the popular vote, Jackson did not manage to get a majority in the Electoral College. Giving in to the widespread opinion that Jackson was unfit to serve as the President (Thomas Jefferson called Jackson \"a dangerous man\"), the House of Representatives elected Adams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Jackson wasn't opposed to winning by smear campaign\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77212\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 613px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-77212\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM.png\" alt=\"A 1828 Jackson poster.\" width=\"613\" height=\"793\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM.png 613w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM-160x207.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM-240x310.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM-375x485.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM-520x673.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1828 Jackson poster.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Jackson and his supporters believed that the election was stolen from him, so he ran again in 1828, a campaign that was to become the dirtiest and most brutal the country had ever seen. News broke that Jackson's wife was in fact married to another man when she started shacking up with him decades earlier. Jackson was irate and decided to fight fire with all the embers of Hell: he accused Adams of living in sin, gambling, breaking the Sabbath, pimping out an American virgin for the pleasure of a Russian czar, among other things. He also kept up the anti-intellectual strategy from the previous election; one of his slogans was \"Vote for Andrew Jackson who can fight, not John Quincy Adams who can write.\" The election turned from disagreements over actual issues to bitter fights over personal lives.

His Treasury Secretary refused to do so because it was illegal. So Jackson fired him and hired another man, who also refused. Jackson fired him too and finally found a man who would do it anyway.

The Cherokee sought help from the Supreme Court, which ruled in their favor. Jackson's alleged response: \"[Chief Justice] John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!\" Ignoring the whole business of the judiciary being an equal branch of government, Jackson ordered that the Native Americans be rounded up at gunpoint, have their property seized, and be put on a forced march to Oklahoma during the winter. One out of four Cherokee died en route. Jackson gave their homeland to white farmers, which they turned into slave plantations. Trump has his own prejudices based on religion, race, sexuality, and gender. Hopefully nothing he or any future President does will be as contemptible as the Trail of Tears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Jackson was a hothead\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Described as a \"cantankerous, iron-willed, intimidating manager,\" Jackson used his temper as a weapon. You can probably imagine what his tweets would have been like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Jackson was inconsistent\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson often found himself in contradiction. He grabbed more and more executive power for himself, while insisting he was doing so for the people. He hated the idea of a monarch forcing his will on his subjects, yet vetoed more legislation than anyone before him. He wanted limited government, unless it stood in the way of what he wanted to do. Needless to say, he wasn't too worried about consistency. Judging by his first 100 days, neither is Trump. China was a currency manipulator, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/12/trump-backtracks-on-china-wont-label-it-a-currency-manipulator.html\">until it wasn't\u003c/a>. NATO was obsolete, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-nato-secretary-general-meet-hold-news-conference-live-updates/\">until Trump changed his mind\u003c/a>. Intervening in Syria was the worst decision ever, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/376334423069032448\">until it was a good one\u003c/a>. The electoral college was undemocratic, until it was genius:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/266038556504494082\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/798521053551140864\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You get the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Lining all these similarities in a row, it's easy to see why Trump reveres Jackson. In a way, it's a form of self-love. Now the question is: Will history continue to repeat itself? Or have we, as a nation, evolved enough to hold this kind of person accountable? Stay tuned.\u003c/p>\n\n",

When a British general ordered Jackson to polish his boots, Jackson, who was known for being bold and having a temper, essentially told this Brit to go f--k himself. This did not go over well. The British officer took out a blade and slashed Jackson, leaving a scar that would last the rest of his life. Trump has no battle scars, thanks to deferring military service five times (\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/us/politics/donald-trump-draft-record.html\">four for college, one for bad feet\u003c/a>).\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Jackson was known as a troublemaker\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the age of 15, Jackson's mother and both of his brothers had died.

He won a decisive victory in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, killing more Native Americans than on any other day in U.S. history (pause for side-eye). With the help of free African Americans, Native Americans, and -- randomly enough -- French pirates, he went on to pull a major upset in the Battle of New Orleans, changing the course of the War of 1812. SAT analogy: George Washington was to the Revolutionary War as Andrew Jackson was to the War of 1812.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of the victory spread quickly, and Jackson became a bona fide celebrity, inspiring songs, clubs, holidays, and more. Again, there's no Trump parallel because bad feet, but the following quote -- said about Jackson -- rings true for both men: \"He was a cultural force before he was a political force.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Jackson branded himself as a voice for the common man\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following his war hero fame, Jackson ran for President against John Quincy Adams, the acting Secretary of State. Adams was intelligent, had a history of overseas diplomacy, and intimately knew what goes into the role (his father, John Adams, was a former president and one of the Founding Fathers). Jackson used these qualities as proof that Adams was a corrupt insider who was out of touch with the people. Jackson argued that his lack of a resume proved that he could be a champion for the common man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The similarities between the 1824 and 2016 elections are obvious, but the results differ. Despite winning the popular vote, Jackson did not manage to get a majority in the Electoral College. Giving in to the widespread opinion that Jackson was unfit to serve as the President (Thomas Jefferson called Jackson \"a dangerous man\"), the House of Representatives elected Adams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Jackson wasn't opposed to winning by smear campaign\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77212\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 613px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-77212\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM.png\" alt=\"A 1828 Jackson poster.\" width=\"613\" height=\"793\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM.png 613w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM-160x207.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM-240x310.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM-375x485.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/04/Screen-Shot-2017-04-25-at-4.05.33-PM-520x673.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1828 Jackson poster.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Jackson and his supporters believed that the election was stolen from him, so he ran again in 1828, a campaign that was to become the dirtiest and most brutal the country had ever seen.

Jackson was irate and decided to fight fire with all the embers of Hell: he accused Adams of living in sin, gambling, breaking the Sabbath, pimping out an American virgin for the pleasure of a Russian czar, among other things. He also kept up the anti-intellectual strategy from the previous election; one of his slogans was \"Vote for Andrew Jackson who can fight, not John Quincy Adams who can write.\" The election turned from disagreements over actual issues to bitter fights over personal lives.

"content": "\u003cp>Alec Baldwin has been keeping busy lately. The star of the animated film \u003cem>The Boss Baby \u003c/em>has a new memoir out and also keeps popping up on\u003cem> Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> to play President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldwin tells \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em>'s Terry Gross that his impression of the president is purposefully exaggerated. \"We're doing it live on a TV show at 11:30 at night in front of a live audience, so there's a kind of volume to it,\" he says. \"It's kind of the Macy's Day Parade [version] of Trump — it's a very larger-than-life thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldwin grew up in a family of six kids on Long Island, N.Y. His father, a dedicated high school teacher, didn't make much money, but they bonded over late-night classic movies. Initially, Baldwin thought he would pursue a career in law and government, but he decided instead to go into acting — much to the chagrin of his mother. \"She was apoplectic,\" Baldwin says. \"She was screaming on the phone, 'What is wrong with you?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldwin details his entry into show business, as well as the highs and lows of his career and his life, in his memoir, \u003cem>Nevertheless.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Interview Highlights\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On his Trump impression on \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>SNL \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I say, \"Left eyebrow up, right eyebrow down, stick your mouth out as far as you can like you're trying to bite somebody's nose off, and just kind of growl with that irritability. ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The [thing] I try to lock into and kind of hold on to just for that brief five minutes of the cold opening is [Trump] not having any fun. ... He doesn't shut up about how rich he is. He doesn't stop talking about how much money he has, and how much privilege he has ... and he just seems miserable. If he's an advertisement for wealth and privilege, then, good God, I think it's terrible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how growing up in a household with five siblings affected him later in life\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I walked out of that house with almost crippling OCD. Like I'd be standing in the hallway of my apartment in New York and the driver was downstairs and I needed to get into the car now, like right now, or I was going to miss my flight, and I'd be making sure that all the books were stacked neatly on the table in the entry hall of my apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'd be sitting there literally with my thumbs squeezing the books so all the seams were right and the books were stacked just so, and whoever was primary in my life would be looking at me like, \"You're kidding, right? You realize we're going to miss the flight.\" I'd be like, \"Excuse me?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't realize it was all coming out of this house of mine, which was just a hurricane and a mess all the time, because my mother just didn't have the energy to clean up after six kids all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On taking high-paying roles instead of following his passion for creative work \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even unconsciously, my whole life became about \u003cem>I don't want to be like my dad.\u003c/em> ... I don't want to get in trouble financially. A man's job is to make as much money as he can, that's it. That's it. ... That effed up my career in some ways; I didn't really do what I wanted to do careerwise. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a turning point, which I view clearly as a turning point, there's a spell of time there where I go and I don't do \u003cem>Prelude to a Kiss\u003c/em> on Broadway and I go do \u003cem>The \u003c/em>\u003cem>Marrying Man\u003c/em>, because they're going to pay me a million dollars for the first time in my life, and I thought, \"Well, that's who I am. I'm a guy that's going to star in films, and you're going to pay me a lot of money, and that's the career I want to have.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie was not a good movie, and I should've done \u003cem>Prelude\u003c/em>. I should've followed the instincts I had up 'till then. My instincts, if I had followed them, I would've gone to Broadway, and I would not have chased the money, but I did the money instead, because people talked me into that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On staying committed to his work as an actor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that people who are actors very often ... have kind of a phobia of being caught undercommitted to their work. ... When I did \u003cem>Mission Impossible\u003c/em> a couple of years ago with Tom Cruise ... I said to Tom, \"What motivates you?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some way Tom is mesmerizing to me, in terms of his career and his work ethic. I said, \"What drives you now? You're so many years into this.\" ... He says, \"I gotta give them their money's worth ... on both ends, the people who are writing me my check and the people who are buying tickets to the film. I've got to give on both ends.\" ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I've felt that same way. A lot of actors ... go to tremendous lengths to commit to their work as actors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On aging in Hollywood\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ian Parker from \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em> ... wrote an article about me and he described me [as resembling] ... \"an NFL football player in his broadcasting years,\" and I thought that was a very funny description, in the way where you kind of let yourself go and don't really tend to that grooming and that kind of self-examination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I guess there was a part of me that it was maybe even a form of depression. ... There was some of that. I didn't care enough, and I started to care about other things. Plus, the really difficult thing was my divorce and my custody battle for my daughter, were right around 2002 and on through about 2007, 2008, it was a lot of more bad than good in my life, quite frankly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cem>Listen to the full interview!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/522712736/522760314\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2017 Fresh Air.

The star of the animated film \u003cem>The Boss Baby \u003c/em>has a new memoir out and also keeps popping up on\u003cem> Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> to play President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldwin tells \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em>'s Terry Gross that his impression of the president is purposefully exaggerated. \"We're doing it live on a TV show at 11:30 at night in front of a live audience, so there's a kind of volume to it,\" he says. \"It's kind of the Macy's Day Parade [version] of Trump — it's a very larger-than-life thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldwin grew up in a family of six kids on Long Island, N.Y. His father, a dedicated high school teacher, didn't make much money, but they bonded over late-night classic movies. Initially, Baldwin thought he would pursue a career in law and government, but he decided instead to go into acting — much to the chagrin of his mother. \"She was apoplectic,\" Baldwin says. \"She was screaming on the phone, 'What is wrong with you?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldwin details his entry into show business, as well as the highs and lows of his career and his life, in his memoir, \u003cem>Nevertheless.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Interview Highlights\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On his Trump impression on \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>SNL \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He doesn't shut up about how rich he is. He doesn't stop talking about how much money he has, and how much privilege he has ... and he just seems miserable. If he's an advertisement for wealth and privilege, then, good God, I think it's terrible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how growing up in a household with five siblings affected him later in life\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I walked out of that house with almost crippling OCD. Like I'd be standing in the hallway of my apartment in New York and the driver was downstairs and I needed to get into the car now, like right now, or I was going to miss my flight, and I'd be making sure that all the books were stacked neatly on the table in the entry hall of my apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'd be sitting there literally with my thumbs squeezing the books so all the seams were right and the books were stacked just so, and whoever was primary in my life would be looking at me like, \"You're kidding, right? You realize we're going to miss the flight.\" I'd be like, \"Excuse me?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't realize it was all coming out of this house of mine, which was just a hurricane and a mess all the time, because my mother just didn't have the energy to clean up after six kids all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On taking high-paying roles instead of following his passion for creative work \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even unconsciously, my whole life became about \u003cem>I don't want to be like my dad.\u003c/em> ... I don't want to get in trouble financially. A man's job is to make as much money as he can, that's it. That's it. ... That effed up my career in some ways; I didn't really do what I wanted to do careerwise. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a turning point, which I view clearly as a turning point, there's a spell of time there where I go and I don't do \u003cem>Prelude to a Kiss\u003c/em> on Broadway and I go do \u003cem>The \u003c/em>\u003cem>Marrying Man\u003c/em>, because they're going to pay me a million dollars for the first time in my life, and I thought, \"Well, that's who I am. I'm a guy that's going to star in films, and you're going to pay me a lot of money, and that's the career I want to have.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie was not a good movie, and I should've done \u003cem>Prelude\u003c/em>. I should've followed the instincts I had up 'till then. My instincts, if I had followed them, I would've gone to Broadway, and I would not have chased the money, but I did the money instead, because people talked me into that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On staying committed to his work as an actor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that people who are actors very often ... have kind of a phobia of being caught undercommitted to their work. ... When I did \u003cem>Mission Impossible\u003c/em> a couple of years ago with Tom Cruise ... I said to Tom, \"What motivates you?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some way Tom is mesmerizing to me, in terms of his career and his work ethic. I said, \"What drives you now? You're so many years into this.\" ... He says, \"I gotta give them their money's worth ... on both ends, the people who are writing me my check and the people who are buying tickets to the film. I've got to give on both ends.\" ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I've felt that same way. A lot of actors ... go to tremendous lengths to commit to their work as actors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On aging in Hollywood\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ian Parker from \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em> ... wrote an article about me and he described me [as resembling] ... \"an NFL football player in his broadcasting years,\" and I thought that was a very funny description, in the way where you kind of let yourself go and don't really tend to that grooming and that kind of self-examination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I guess there was a part of me that it was maybe even a form of depression. ... There was some of that. I didn't care enough, and I started to care about other things. Plus, the really difficult thing was my divorce and my custody battle for my daughter, were right around 2002 and on through about 2007, 2008, it was a lot of more bad than good in my life, quite frankly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cem>Listen to the full interview!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/522712736/522760314\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2017 Fresh Air.
