edgar, I agree about "the sixties" presentations. I knew most of them, Texas.

Morgan, Welcome back. Dear Doris Day. She was a great performer and Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps was fantastic.

Another great performer whose birthday is today.

My daughter and I agree that the best movies, etc. are TNT and TCM

@edgarblythe,
You sent me searching, Mark

George Burns, born Nathan Birnbaum, was an American comedian, award-winning actor and best-selling writer. He was one of the few entertainers whose career successfully spanned vaudeville, film, radio, and television.

Here's another wish by dear Bobby Darin.

Renaud - J'ai Retrouvé Mon Flingue

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aGcJetWqvhM

Ma plume est une arme de poing
mes mots parfois sont des grenades
dans ce monde cruel et crétin
ma guitare est en embuscade
contre toutes les barbarries
contre les silences assassins
le conformisme des nantis
et l'ignorance des gens de rien.
car si jamais une chanson
n'a fait tomber un dictateur,
si la tiranie, l'oppression
vivent toujours de belles heures,
je sais que j'écrirai toujours
comme un acte de résistance
(outre quelques chansons d'amour)
à l'encre noire de la violence !
c'est pas donné aux animaux
c'est la mission des balladins
de combattre avec des mots,
de faire des couplets,
des coups de poing !

j'ai retrouvé mon flingue
il était dans mes rimes
attention je déglingue
je dégome, je décime

au premier rang de ma colère
l'Amérique du grand capital
Georges Bush et ses chiens de guerre
et son putain d'ordre moral
son modèle de société
mi-decadente mi-puritaine
sa peine de mort legalisée
par des cours que l'on dit suprèmes
sa sous-culture qu'ils voudraient bien
imposer à la terre entière
Coca, Mc Do, rappeurs crétins
Disneyland et Schwarzenegger
loi du plus fort, loi de la jungle
consommation et pollution
à chaque citoyen son fligue
amour du drapeau à la con
je rêve que vivent un jour
dans ce pays dégénéré
des centaines de Michael Moore
des Luther King par milliers

j'ai retrouvé mon flingue
il était dans mes rimes
attention je déglingue
je dégome, je décime

autre fléau, autre danger
ces putains d'églises à la con
les évangelistes timbrés
rabins, ayatollahs, curetons
combien de guerres combien d'horreurs
ces imbéciles ont engendrées
par leurs discours de malheur
sur les masses de demeurés
tous ceux-là considèrent la femme
comme une pute ou une sainte
promettent la damnation de l'âme
a qui ne vit pas dans la crainte
trouverais-je jamais les mots
pour dire mon mépris profond
de tous les dieux, tous leurs dévots
et de toutes les religions
la mienne se résume en fait
à l'amour, à l'amitié
à l'amour de cette planète
ou vit l'homme et sa fiancée.

j'ai retrouvé mon flingue
il était dans mes rimes
attention je déglingue
je dégome, je décime

chaque jour ils sont des milliers
les enfants qui meurent sans bruit
quand des milliards sont depensés
pour surarmer tous les pays
on mise sur le nucléaire
on sur-consomme on sur-produit
lorsque la moitié de la terre
crève de faim, de maladie
la charitée a remplacé la justice
et c'est l'Abbé Pierre
qui doit chaque jour s'y coller
pour que nos consciences soient claires
pour faire du spectacle avec ça
il y a toujours un projecteur
et toujours une caméra
comme un vautour sur le malheur
avec l'horreur ils font du fric
et avec la mort, de l'audience
notre époque est télémerdique
l'info remplace la connaisance

j'ai retrouvé mon flingue
il était dans mes rimes
attention je déglingue
je dégome, je décime

s'attaquer aux moulins à vent
de l'injustice, de la misère
comme je le fais de temps en temps
dans mes petites chansons colère
ça relève de l'utopie
mais y a t il autre chose à faire ?
poser des bombes ? prendre un fusil ?
ou suivre le troupeau pépère..
qui imagine changer l'histoire
en votant pour des gangsters
en déléguant tous les pouvoirs
à des politiciens pervers
vienne un jour ce monde impossible
ou les enfants seront bénis
et aucune femme ne sera la cible
de la violence et du mepris
ou les hommes viveront d'amour
comme on dit d'autres que moi
ou plus personne ne sera sourd
aux cris de détresse et d'effroi

j'ai retrouvé mon flingue
il était dans mes rimes
attention je déglingue
je dégome, je décime
je dégome, j'extermine
je dégome, j'élimine
je dégome, j'assassine !

More Punch 8th January 1887

Quote:
IN PUDDING-TIME - On Saturday, the 1st instant, the Bulgarian Deputies enjoyed, at dinner, the hospitality of the Servian Consul-General in London, Mr. H. W. CHRISTMAS, who of course regaled them with substantial Christmas fare. (Pity that Government couldn't promise them a treat still more substantial.) Happy conjunction of Christmas with New Year. Prosit omen, and many Happy New Years to the brave Bulgarians!


There's a lot about brave Bulgarians throughout Punch. From Wiki
Quote:
April Uprising and Russo-Turkish War (1870s)

In April 1876, the Bulgarians revolted in the April Uprising. The revolt was poorly organized and started before the planned date. It was largely confined to the region of Plovdiv, though certain districts in northern Bulgaria, in Macedonia and in the area of Sliven also took part in it. The uprising was crushed by the Ottomans, who also brought irregular Ottoman troops (bashi-bazouks) from outside the area. Countless villages were pillaged and tens of thousands of people were massacred, the majority of them in the insurgents towns of Batak, Perushtitsa and Bratsigovo in the area of Plovdiv.

The massacres aroused a broad public reaction led by liberal Europeans such as William Ewart Gladstone, who launched a campaign against the "Bulgarian Horrors". The campaign was supported by a number of European intellectuals and public figures. The strongest reaction, however, came from Russia. The enormous public outcry which the April Uprising had caused in Europe provoked the 1876–77 Constantinople Conference of the Great Powers.

Turkey's refusal to implement the conference decisions gave the Russians a long-waited chance to realise their long-term objectives with regard to the Ottoman Empire. Having its reputation at stake, Russia declared war on the Ottomans in April 1877. The Bulgarians also fought alongside the advancing Russians. The Coalition was able to inflict a decisive defeat on the Ottomans at the Battle of Shipka Pass and at Pleven and by January 1878 they had liberated much of the Bulgarian lands.

Good morning from a rather chilly radio station here in Florida.

Hurry back, izz with a y. Thanks for that info on Bulgaria. That's Ancient history, right?

Two items for today: First, inspired by "the pullman" a bit of a travelogue:

Today is Jack London's birthday so here is a bit of info on the man and the ending of To Build a Fire:

The Call of the Wild is a novel by Jack London published in 1903. The story is set in the Yukon during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush—a period when strong sled dogs were in high demand.

The man freezes to death.

The dog returns to camp.

Because the dog's instincts and heredity allow it to survive in these conditions.

The man is not so equipped.

Now, the trailer to the original

well, it looks as though it's me, myself, and I day. That no longer bothers me.

How about some classical gas:

Ben King's lyrics:

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is the special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreaming
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal
That looks down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows in my garden
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows in my garden
La la la, la la la, la la la la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La la la, la la la, la la la la

@Letty,
Hi Miss Letty,
I enjoyed Marty and Ray very much.
Ray's poor horse died when the stalls open.
I back a lot of horses like that.

@eurocelticyankee,
euroGeorge, Welcome back to you as well and thanks for the comment on Marty and Ray. I hate to hear of animals dying, my friend.

You sent me searching:

I found my April Breeze in Portugal with you. Forgotten who did that song

I didn't think you did dark and rainy in Florida Miss Letty.
I thought it was always hot and sunny.
Loved the Mills Brothers, great melody.
