Gillmor vies for attention with 'Bad Sinatra'
My friend Steve Gillmor buries the Gillmor Gang and resurfaces with "Bad Sinatra," his own version of Silicon Valley cinema verite, in which I play myself, accompanied by other cast members, including Doc Searls, Mike Arrington, Marc Benioff and Robert Scoble. "Bad Sinatra" is vintage Gillmor, with debate, argument, randomness, a few expletives and some real nuggets scattered in the 38:30 minute episode. I'm not exactly sure what "bad" Sinatra means, but you could think of it as an unscripted, loosely patched together Seinfeld-like episode with a cast of tech industry characters in search of a theme or the meaning of iPhone, or for the more theatrically minded, an updated version of Luigi Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author." I look forward to the next show...or gestures.
