here's one for the fastest shutter in the west, the Lippstadt Kid:

I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now.
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk now
Hey

Put on your red dress
And then you go downtown now
I said, Buy yourself a shotgun now
We're going to break it down baby now
We're going to load it up baby now
Oh can you shoot 'em 'fore they run now

I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now.
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk now
Hey

Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk now
Hey

Put on your high heel shoes
I said we're going down here listen to 'em play the blues
We're gonna dig potatoes
We're gonna pick tomatoes

I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now.
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk now
Hey

I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
Hey, look at that

And one for those, who never can tell…



Artist: Chuck Berry
Song: You Never Can Tell Lyrics

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

Dear Letty, are you…


Song: Lost In Music
Artist: Sister Sledge Lyrics7

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my 9 to 5
We're lost in music

Have you ever seen
Some people lose everything
First to go is their mind. huh
Responsibility
To me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time, uh-huh

I want to join a band
And play in front of crazy fans
Yes, I call that temptation
Give me the melody
That's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my 9 to 5
We're lost in music

Mmm, hmm, in the spotlight
The band plays so very tight
Each and every night, uh-huh
It's not vanity
To me, it's my sanity
I could never survive

Some people ask me
What are you gonna be
Why don't you go get a job, uh-uh
All that I could say
I won't give up my music
Not me, not now, no way, no how, oh...oh...

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap (Caught up in our music)
No turnin' back (Ooh...ooh...ooh...)
We're lost in music

We're lost in music (Don't take our away our music)
Feel so alive (Feel)
I quit (I quit) my 9 to 5 (Yeah)
We're lost in music

We're lost in music (Melody is good to me)
Caught in a trap (I'm caught up in it)
No turnin' back (No, no, no)
We're lost in music (Ooh...doo doo doo doo doo doo)

We're lost in music (La da da da da da da da, mmm...hmm...)
Feel so alive
I quit (I quit) my 9 to 5
We're lost in music (Lost in music)

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my 9 to 5
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

Ah, Try. You had better believe I am lost. Your song says it perfectly.

I would never make a good Buddhist, I'm afraid, because I get lost.....


LOST IN MEDITATION
And my reverie
Brings you back to me
For in my imagination
Love has lingered on
As though you'd never gone.
This is just a dream that cannot last
When the magic of this mood has passed.
So I sit in meditation
Trying to pretend this mood will never end.

BILLY IDOL Lyrics
DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME) Song Text


Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Watching ooh... yeah

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing and you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out, out
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
I'll get us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way and never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Would you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Watching ooh..... yeah

Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing and you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
(As you walk on by)

Or will you walk on by?
Will you walk away?
Come on - call my name
Come on - call my name
Will you call my name?

I say
La la la...

Will you walk on by?
Would you call my name?
As you walk on by
Would you call my name?
When you walk on by?
Oh yeah
Come on and call my name
As you walk on by
Hey baby call my name!
When you walk on by
Would you call my name
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah....

Artist: The Pogues
Song: A Pair Of Brown Eyes Lyrics

One summer evening drunk to hell
I stood there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
Where the water lilies grow
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
And how would you bloody know?
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
I lay down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
Then prayed and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes

I looked at him he looked at me
All I could do was hate him
While Ray and Philomena sang
Of my elusive dream
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
That waited once for me
So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes

Now that I have it together, I have to say goodnight, but before I leave our little studio, I want to acknowledge you all, but I have forgotten your names. Razz

My goodnight song:

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too.

From Letty with love

Bad News

Ha ha ha come on bad news ha ha
Well bad news travels like wild fire good news travels slow
They all call me Wildfire ha ha cause everybody knows
I'm bad news everywhere I go
Always gettin' in a trouble and leaving little girls that hate to see me go
They tried to hang me in Oakland and they did in Francisco
But I wouldn't choke I broke their rope and they had to let me go
Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go
Always gettin' in a trouble and leaving little girls that hate to see me go
Now from north to south east to west the story is the same
From one state to another I have to change my name
Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go
Always gettin' in a trouble and leaving little girls that hate to see me go

Well now I've picked peaches in Georgia I lumberjacked in Maine
I've been hired fired and jailed in any town you can name
Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go
Always gettin' in a trouble and leaving little girls that hate to see me go

You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care
(words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

You're so square - baby
You're so square

Oh you don't like crazy music
You don't like rockin bands
You just want to go
To a movie show
And sit there holding hands
You're so square
Baby I don't care

You don't like going to parties
To toot and talk all night long
You just want to park
Where it's nice and dark
And kiss me, sweet and strong
You're so square
Baby, I don't care

You don't know any dance steps
That are new
But nobody else could love me
Like you do

I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why
I love you baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
Baby I don't care

Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?
Gorney, Harburg
They used to tell me
I was building a dream.
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow
Or guns to bear
I was always there
Right on the job.
They used to tell me
I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead.
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad
I made it run
Made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad
Now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime.
Once I built a tower,
Now it's done.
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits
Gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodle dee dum.
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the kid with the drum!
Say don't you remember?
They called me Al.
It was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember?
I'm your pal.
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits,
Ah, gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodle dee dum!

Daphne du Maurier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dame Daphne du Maurier DBE (13 May 1907 - 19 April 1989) is a famous British novelist best known for her short stories like The Birds and her classic novel Rebecca which was the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's Oscar-winning film.

She was born in London, the daughter of the actor-manager Sir Gerald du Maurier, and granddaughter of the author and cartoonist, George du Maurier. These connections gave a head start to her literary career, and her first novel, The Loving Spirit, was published in 1931.

Du Maurier married Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick "Boy" Browning and had one son and two daughters.

Her writing went from strength to strength. She is most noted for the novel Rebecca which has been filmed on several occasions. Besides Rebecca, several of her other novels were made into films, including Jamaica Inn (1936), Frenchman's Creek (1942), Hungry Hill (1943) and My Cousin Rachel (1951). The Hitchcock film The Birds (1963) is based on a treatment of one of her short stories, as is the film Don't Look Now (1973). She also wrote non-fiction. One of her most imaginative works, The Glass-Blowers, traces her French ancestry.

She was named a Dame of the British Empire, and died at the age of 81 in 1989, at her home in Cornwall, in a region which had been the setting for many of her books.

She was a member of the Cornish nationalist pressure group/political party Mebyon Kernow.

As per her desire, Dame Daphne's body was cremated and her ashes were scattered on the cliffs near her home.

In Ken Follett's thriller The Key to Rebecca, du Maurier's novel Rebecca is used as the key for a code used by a German spy in World War II Cairo.

Harvey Keitel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Harvey Johannes Keitel (born May 13, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) is an Academy Award-nominated American actor based in New York City.

The son of Nikonar Keitel and Maritska LeCose, Jewish immigrants from Poland and Romania, he grew up in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn. At the age of 16, Keitel decided to join the United States Marine Corps, a decision which took him to Lebanon. After his return to the United States, he floundered for a while in mediocre jobs before beginning his acting career.

Keitel studied under both Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg, eventually landing roles in some off-Broadway productions. During this time, Keitel met another struggling filmmaker named Martin Scorsese and gained a part in Scorsese's student production. Since then both Scorsese and Keitel have worked together on numerous projects. Keitel had the starring role in Scorsese's Mean Streets but this proved to be Robert De Niro's breakthrough film.

Originally, Keitel was to have played the role of Captain Willard in Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. However, he was fired early in the production and replaced by Martin Sheen. After this, it was many years before he would be able to get anything other than minor roles. At the end of the 1970s Keitel was mostly working in European films for directors such as Ridley Scott, usually in sinister character parts. Keitel was also fired from the set of Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick's last film, halfway through production. He was replaced with Sydney Pollock.

Throughout the 1980s, Keitel continued to find plenty of work on both stage and screen, but it was usually in the stereotypical role of a thug. This role reached its apotheosis when Keitel starred in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs in 1992, where his performance as Mr. White relaunched his semi-slumping career. Ridley Scott also helped Keitel by casting him as the sympathetic policeman in Thelma and Louise. Since then, Keitel has chosen his roles with care, seeking to change his image and show off a broader acting range. His decision to co-star in Jane Campion's The Piano marks the approximate beginning of this phase of Keitel's career. He has also shown a willingness to help other upstart filmmakers by appearing in their first feature film. He has done this not only for Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, but also Ridley Scott (The Duellists), Paul Schrader (Blue Collar), James Toback (Fingers), and Tony Bui (Yellow Lotus).

Senta Berger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Senta Berger (born May 13, 1941, in Vienna) is an Austrian actress and producer.

Berger's parents were not rich, but tried everything to meet the desires of their daughter. Her father, from whom she probably inherited talent, was a musician. With him, Senta first appeared on stage at the age of four, where he accompanied his daughter's singing on the piano. At the age of five she started ballet lessons. But her dream of a career as a dancer was destroyed by her last teacher, who did not like the physical changes in Senta during puberty.

Berger then took private acting lessons. In 1957, she won her first small role in a film. She applied for the Max Reinhardt Seminar, a famous acting school in Vienna, and was accepted, shortly afterwards was forced to leave, because she had accepted a film role without permission. In 1958, she became the youngest member of the Josefstadt theatre in Vienna. Her ambition was still to be a film actress.

More and more directors and producers wanted to work with her, for example Bernhard Wicki and Arthur Brauner, who produced the film The Good Soldier Schweijk with Berger and Heinz Rühmann, a famous German actor. Brauner used Senta Berger in several films, but she soon tired of musicals. In 1962, she went to Hollywood and worked with stars such as Charlton Heston, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne and Yul Brynner. An offer for a series role, which would have brought an obligation of several years with itself, was the reason for their return to Germany.

In 1963, Berger met Michael Verhoeven, son of the German film director Paul Verhoeven (not the Dutch Paul Verhoeven). In 1966, they married, after starting up their own film production company the previous year. In 1970, she starred for the first time in a film produced by her own company and directed by her husband. Other internationally successful films made by the duo included, amongst others, Die weiße Rose, The terrible girl (Das schreckliche Mädchen) and Mutters Courage. Berger continued to develop her European career in France and Italy.

The birth of her two sons caused Senta to turn back to the theatre. She successfully played at the Burgtheater in Vienna, at the Thaliatheater in Hamburg and at the Schillertheater in Berlin. Between 1974 and 1982, she played the "Buhlschaft" in the play "Jedermannn" at the Salzburg Festival with Curd Jürgens and Maximilian Schell. In 1985/86, she started a comeback in front of German-speaking audiences in the very popular TV serial "Kir Royal". Afterwards further serial hits followed, like "The fast Gerti", where she plays a taxi driver. In the same year, she also started a career as a singer of Chansons. 2005 saw her in a beautiful and sad film, Einmal so wie ich will, as a woman trapped in an unhappy marriage who finds but turns her back on love when on holiday.

Since February 2003, Senta Berger has been president of the German Film Academy, who want to advance the new generation of actors and actresses in Germany and Europe and who will decide the assignment of the German Film Awards in the future.

In Spring of 2006, her autobiography was published in Germany, titled: "Ich habe ja gewußt, daß ich fliegen kann" (in English: "I did know that I could fly"). Among her memories of Hollywood are a less-than-subtle attempt by Darryl Zanuck to get her on his Casting Couch, and being called "You German Pig" on her first day on the set of Major Dundee by a gaffer, whose wife's had lost her family in Auschwitz

Stephen R. Donaldson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephen Reeder Donaldson (born May 13, 1947) is an American fantasy, science fiction and mystery novelist. His works range from the conventional "space opera" style of science fiction to "sword and sorcery" fantasy.


Major Influences

Though often compared to J. R. R. Tolkien, Donaldson's stories are also strongly influenced by William Shakespeare, Mervyn Peake and the operas of Richard Wagner. The Thomas Covenant and Mordant's Need series also make use of the "alternate world" paradigm in a manner reminiscent of the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis. A notable specific influence is Roger Zelazny's Amber series, which influenced Mordant's Need. Also, in the Gradual Interview section of his website, he mentions his deep study of Joseph Conrad, Henry James and William Faulkner to develop his narrative style.


The Covenant Books

Main article: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever

Donaldson's most celebrated character is Thomas Covenant, a cynical leprosy-sufferer, shunned and despised by society, who is destined to become the heroic saviour of an alternate Earth (or, perhaps, only of his own sanity?). Covenant struggles against the evil Lord Foul - "The Despiser" - who intends to break the physical universe (the Arch of Time) to escape its bondage and wreak revenge upon his arch-enemy "The Creator".

The story of Covenant was told originally across two trilogies of novels published between 1977 and 1983. A third series, "The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" began publication in 2004.
