Actress Helen Kane, the inspiration for the Betty Boop cartoons, never received royalties or credit for them. A striking and unique performer who began in Vaudeville, she was too 20s for the 30s and her career, sadlly, fizzled.
Inspired by Mike Seeger following an interview with him for GratefulWeb; (the last known interview with him before his death), Elizabeth Bissette set off in search of outlaws, music and art that challenged boundaries. GratefulWeb featured her travel tales, interviews and photos as she met with one adventure in Pop Culture after another.
Now a rising force on the Alt Country scene, (Lonesome Liz), her songs were inspired in part by her talks with Mr. Seeger. She continues to share her adventures here at the blog, from Rt. 66 to the Country Music Hwy. and beyond. Follow her long, strange trip. You'll be amazed! Astonished! Mesmerized!
