Music (Ivan Wilzig Becomes Recording Artist Sir Ivan, Aka Peaceman)
When asked why he calls himself “Sir” Ivan, he jokingly reponds, “I didn’t ask permission from the Queen of England to build my own castle(see Sir Ivan’s Castle section), so why should I wait for her to knight me? And so, I knighted myself.” “Also, I thought “Sir Ivan” makes a great stage name. Ivan alone, reminds people of the Russian Czars, like Ivan the Terrible and Ivan the Great, and Wilzig is too hard to spell.”

“Well then! Wagner was a revolutionary—he fled the Germans.... As an artist one has no home in Europe outside Paris: the délicatesse in all five artistic senses that is presupposed by Wagner’s art, the fingers for nuances, the psychological morbidity are found only in Paris. Nowhere else is this passion in questions of form to be found, this seriousness in mise en scène—which is Parisian seriousness par excellence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Before me you are a slug in the sun. You are privy to a great becoming and you recognize nothing. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is in your nature to do one thing correctly: tremble.”
—Michael Mann, U.S. screenwriter. Frances Dollarhyde, aka “The Tooth Fairy” (Tom Noonan)
