A Horse With No Name

DEWEY BUNNELL Lyrics

On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things,
There were sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz and the sky, with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry but the air was full of sound

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

On the ninth day, I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things, there were sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground and the perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground but the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la la la la la la la la la la

Well, hello there, Try. I certainly know that one, dear, and for some reason, listeners, I associate the horse with no name with our house.



Our House (... Very Fine House)
(Graham Nash)

I'll light the fire, while you place the flowers
In the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours,
While I listen to you play your love songs
All night long for me, only for me.

Cho: Our house, is a very, very, very find house.
With two cats in the yard,
Life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy 'cause of you.

Come to me now, and rest your head for just five minutes,
Everything is done.
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them,
Fiery gems for you, only for you.

I'll light the fire, while you place the flowers
In the vase that you bought today.

Perhaps there were horses in the barn as well. <smile>

This was just played here at my work, so I decided to put it here, too.
I'm not sure if these are the right words, but then again, who is?

It's The End Of The World - REM

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane-
Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn-
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,down hight Wire in a fire, representing seven games in a government for hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered, crop. Look at that low plane! Fine, then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs Listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture andthe revered and the right - right.You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light,feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers.Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.Light a candle, light a motive. step down, step down. Watch your heel crush, crush. Uh-oh, this means no fear- cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

(chorus)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
it's time I had some time alone)
I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
(it's time I had some time alone)

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.Mountains sit in a line. Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam, but neck, right? Right

It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
(it's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
(it's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
(it's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
(it's time I had some time alone)
(fade)

Welcome back, Arthur. This must be the day for odd songs, folks. I like REM, but they do specialize in the mysterious. Thanks, tinswordsman.

So, it's the end of the world as we know it? Maybe we'll find another world out there:

Foreigner
Two Different Worlds

I know this girl, she's always on my mind
She lives in her world and I live in mine
I should forget about her and I've tried
Lord knows I've tried
But I want to know her, and here's the other side

I've got someone waiting for me every night
She's the only one I've ever loved
And it's been that way for the longest time
She's the one that makes my world go right
And it tears me in two because I know where I'll be tonight

I think she knows it
I think she knows

Two different worlds, two different worlds
One that belongs to me, one could be wrong for me
Two different worlds, two different worlds
Oh, two different worlds

Is she that different or is it the thrill of someone new
Strung out on her, I need her love
I need it bad, and I know, I know it's true
I'm the one that lies awake alone
I know, she's the one that makes me stray from home

And I know it
Yeah, I know it

Two different worlds, two different worlds
One that I may regret, one that I can't forget
Two different worlds, two different worlds
Oh, always two different worlds

No, I can't explain this emptiness
No, I know I can't go on like this
Two different worlds, two different worlds

Two different worlds
I live in two different worlds
One that I may regret, one that I won't forget
Two different worlds
But I can't live in both, I know
One world I must let go

I am a little beggarman and begging I have been
For three score or more in this little isle of green
I'm known from the Liffey down to Segue
And I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu
Of all the trade's that's going, sure begging is the best
For when a man is tired, he can sit down and rest
He can beg for his dinner, he has nothing else to do
Only cut around the corner with his old rig-a-doo

I slept in the barn, down at Caurabawn
A wet night came on and I slept 'till the dawn
With holes in the roof and the rain coming through
And the rats and the cats, they were playing peek-a-boo
When who did I waken but the woman of the house
With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse
She began to frighten and I said "boo
Aarah, don't be afraid mam it's only Johnny Dhu"

I met a little flaxy-haired girl one day
"Good morning little flaxy-haired girl" I did say
"Good morning little beggarman, a how do you do
With your rags and you tags and you old rig-a-doo"
I'll buy a pair of leggings, a collar and a tie
And a nice young lady I'll fetch by and by
I'll buy a pair of goggles and I'll colour them blue
And an old fashioned lady I will make her too

Over the road with my pack on my back
Over the fields with my great heavy sack
With holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through
Singing skinny-me-rink a doodle o and old Johnny Dhu
I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night
The fire's all raked and out goes the light
So now you've heard the story of my old rig-a-doo
It's good-bye and God be with you says old Johnny Dhu

Judy Holliday
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judy Holliday (June 21, 1921-June 7, 1965) was an Academy Award-winning American actress.

Born Judith Tuvim ("Tuvim" is Yiddish for "Holiday") in New York City, she was the only child of Abe and Helen Tuvim, who were Jewish immigrants from Russia. Her first job was as an assistant switchboard operator at the Mercury Theatre run by Orson Welles and John Houseman. She began her show business career in December, 1938, as part of a nightclub act called "The Revuers". The other four members of the group were Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Alvin Hammer and John Frank. The Revuers were a staple of the New York nightlife scene until they disbanded in early 1944.

Acting Career

Holliday made her Broadway debut on March 20, 1945, at the Belasco Theatre in Kiss Them for Me and was one of the recipients that year of the Clarence Derwent Award. In 1946 she was back on Broadway as the scatterbrained "Billie Dawn" in Born Yesterday.

Author Garson Kanin wrote the play specifically for his friend, the brilliant but difficult Jean Arthur. Arthur played the role of "Billie" out-of-town, but after many complaints and illnesses, resigned. Kanin chose Holliday as her replacement. In 1949, she was cast in a supporting role opposite Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy on film in one of the year's biggest comedies, Adam's Rib.

The part gave her the chance to star in the film version of Born Yesterday the next year for which she won the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Actress, beating out such formidable competitors as Gloria Swanson, who was nominated for Sunset Boulevard and Bette Davis, who was nominated for All About Eve.

Investigated for Communism

In 1950, Holliday was the subject of an FBI investigaton looking into allegations that she was a Communist. The investigation "did not reveal positive evidence of membership in the Communist Party" and was concluded after 3 months. Unlike many others that were tainted by the Communist scandal, she was not blacklisted from the movie business, but she was blacklisted from performing on radio and television for almost 3 years.

In 1952, she was called to testify before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee to "explain" why her name had been linked to Communist front organizations. She was advised to play dumb, like one of her film characters and did so excellently. She used this technique to avoid giving up names of people that she knew to be Communists.

Later Life and Career

In 1956 she starred in The Solid Gold Cadillac, and, in 1960 in Bells Are Ringing, in the role she had originated on Broadway in 1956, and for which she had won the 1957 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical.


Judy Holliday's headstone in Westchester Hills CemeteryIn 1965 she died from breast cancer at the age of 43, survived by her young son. She was interred in the Westchester Hills Cemetery in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.

She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6901 Hollywood Blvd.

As I said, folks. Very odd song day, and it's the first day of summer in the U.S. Where did you get old Johnny dhu, cowboy?
Well, let's go with a Ragman, then



Offered her a roof
The rain had made it shine
Offered her a song
Wasn`t really mine

I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
She offered me possessions
I tied them in a knot
Wrapped it in a note
I kept it in my pocket

I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
I came to her too soon




She should have had a ragdoll
And wound up with a ragman

Wings and kites and wedding rings
All these charms I said I`d bring

I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
Baby you`re a rich man
Lost in a small world
Looking for a ragdoll
Wound up with a ragman
With a ragman
Ragman

The rain had made it shine
The rain had made it shine
The rain had made it shine
The rain had made it shine
The rain had made it shine
The rain had made it shine
The rain had made it shine

Oops. Our hawkman has arrived with Judy Holliday. We'll sit back and wait for his completion of the famous.

time and tide wait for no man;

ts a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I couldve loved you better
Didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin
Underground, underground

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I couldve loved you better
Didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Ive got reason a plenty for goin
This I know, this I know
The weeds have been steadily growin
Please dont go, please dont go

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I couldve loved you better
Didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I couldve loved you better
Didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Jane Russell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jane Russell in 1943.Jane Russell (born June 21, 1921) is an American actress. She was born Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell in Bemidji, Minnesota.

Early life

Jane Russell was born in Bemidji, Minnesota, the only daughter of Roy William Russell (January 5, 1890-July 18, 1937) and Geraldine Jacobi (January 2, 1891-December 26, 1986). Her four younger brothers are Thomas Ferris Russell (born April 16, 1924), Kenneth Steven Russell (born September 2, 1925), James Hyatt Russell (born February 9, 1927) and Wallace Jay Russell (born January 31, 1929).

Her parents were both born in North Dakota. Three of her grandparents were born in Canada, while her paternal grandmother was born in Germany. Her parents married in 1917. Her father was a former commissioned First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and her mother was a former actress with a road troupe. When Jane was a child they moved temporarily to Canada, then moved to the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. They lived in Burbank in 1930 and her father worked as an office manager at a soap manufacturing plant.

Jane's mother arranged for her to take piano lessons. In addition to music, she was interested in drama and participated in stage productions at Van Nuys High School. Her early ambition was to be a designer of some kind, until the death of her father at forty-six, when she decided to work as a receptionist after graduation. She also modeled for photographers and, at the urging of her mother, studied drama and acting with Max Reinhardt's Theatrical Workshop and with famed Russian actress Maria Ouspenskaya.

Start of her career

Outlaw posterIn 1940, Russell was signed to a seven year contract by millionaire Howard Hughes and made her motion picture debut in The Outlaw (1943), a story about Billy the Kid that went to great lengths to showcase her voluptuous bust. Although the movie was completed in 1941, it was released for a limited showing two years later. There were problems with the censorship of the production code over the way her ample cleavage was displayed. When the movie was finally passed, it had a general release in 1946. During that time, Russell was kept busy doing publicity and became famous.

Together with Lana Turner, Russell personified the sensuously contoured sweater girl look. Besides the thousands of quips from radio comedians, including Bob Hope once introducing her as "the two and only Jane Russell," the photo of her on a haystack glowering with sulking beauty and youthful sensuality as her breasts push forcefully against her bodice was a popular pin-up with Service men during World War II.

Though The Outlaw was not a spectacular Western, it did well at the box-office. It appeared that Hughes was only interested in her being cast in movies that showcased her sensational figure, however, reportedly refusing an offer from Darryl Zanuck for her to play Doña Sol in Blood and Sand. She was not in another movie until 1946, when she played Joan Kenwood in Young Widow for RKO. Though her early movies did little to show her true acting abilities, they helped parlay her into a career portraying smart, often cynical, tough "broads," with a wisecracking attitude.

In 1947, Russell attempted to launch a musical career, recording a single with the Kay Kyser Orchestra, "As Long As I Live".

She went on to perform with proficiency in an assortment of roles, which includes playing Calamity Jane opposite Bob Hope in The Paleface (1948) on loan out to Paramount; and Mike Delroy opposite Hope in Son of Paleface (1952), again at Paramount.

Her family life

Russell had three husbands, NFL quarterback and producer Bob Waterfield (married April 24, 1943-divorced July 1968), actor Roger Barrett (married August 25, 1968-his death November 18, 1968) and real-estate broker John Calvin Peoples (married January 31, 1974-his death April 9, 1999). She and Peoples lived in Sedona, Arizona.

In February 1952 she and Waterfield adopted a baby girl, Tracy. In December 1952 they adopted a fifteen-month-old boy, Thomas, and in 1956 she and Waterfield adopted a nine-month-old boy, Robert John.

Russell was unable to have children and, in 1955, she founded World Adoption International Fund (WAIF), an organization to place children with adoptive families that pioneered adoptions from foreign countries by Americans.

Though her screen image was that of a sex goddess, her private life lacked the sensation and scandal that followed other actresses of the time, such as Lana Turner. At the height of her career, Russell started the "Hollywood Christian Group," a weekly Bible study at her home for Christians in the movie business that was attended by some of the biggest names. Russell was a prominent Republican who attended the Eisenhower inauguration, along with Lou Costello, Dick Powell, June Allyson, Anita Louise, Louella Parsons, and other conservatives.

Her works

Russell was at the height of her wry comedic talents with her performance as Dorothy Shaw in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) opposite Marilyn Monroe at 20th Century Fox, which is one of her most memorable roles. It was an excellent movie and showed her as a talented actress.

She appeared in two movies opposite Robert Mitchum, His Kind of Woman (1951) and Macao (1952). Other co-stars include Frank Sinatra and Groucho Marx in the comedy Double Dynamite (1951); Victor Mature, Vincent Price and Hoagy Carmichael in The Las Vegas Story (1952); Jeff Chandler in Foxfire (1955); and Clark Gable and Robert Ryan in The Tall Men (1955).

Russell and her first husband, Waterfield, formed Russ-Field Productions in 1955. They produced Gentlemen Marry Brunettes (1955), The King and Four Queens (1956) starring Clark Gable and Eleanor Parker, Run for the Sun (1956) and The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown (1957).

Her performances in Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, opposite Jeanne Crain, and in the drama The Revolt of Mamie Stover (1956) displayed her fine acting ability. But after making The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown (1957), which failed at the box-office, she did not appear on the silver screen again for seven years.

In October 1957, she debuted in a successful solo nightclub act at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. She also fulfilled later engagements in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South America and Europe.

In the Summer of 1961, she debuted with a tour of Janus in New England. In the Fall of 1961, she performed in Skylark at the Drury Lane Theatre, Chicago. And in November 1962, she performed in Bells Are Ringing at the Westchester Town House in Yonkers, New York.

Her next movie appearance was in Fate Is the Hunter (1964), in which she was Jane Russell performing for the USO in a flashback sequence. Unfortunately, she made only four more movies after that, playing character parts in the final two.

In 1971, she starred in the musical drama Company on Broadway, replacing Elaine Stritch. Russell performed the role of Joanne in the play for six months. Also in the 1970s, she started appearing in television commercials as a spokeswoman for Playtex "cross your heart bras for us full-figured gals."

She wrote an autobiography in 1985, Jane Russell: My Path and My Detours. In 1989, she received the Women's International Center (WIC) Living Legacy Award.

Jane Russell's hand and foot prints are immortalized in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theater and she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6850 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood.

Maureen Stapleton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Lois Maureen Stapleton (June 21, 1925 - March 13, 2006) was an Academy Award-winning American actress in film, theater and television who also won an Emmy Award, two Tony Awards and was elected to the American Theatre Hall of Fame.

Early life and career

Born in Troy, New York into a strict Irish American Catholic family with an alcoholic father, Stapleton began acting in theater after finishing high school and rapidly gained respect as both a dramatic and comedic actress.

She fled to New York City at the age of 18, and did some modelling to pay the bills. She once said that it was her infatuation with the actor Joel McCrea that led her into acting. She made her Broadway debut in Burgess Meredith's production of The Playboy of the Western World in 1946.

Stepping in because Anna Magnani refused the role due to her limited English, Stapleton won a Tony Award for her role in Tennessee Williams' The Rose Tattoo in 1951. (Magnani's English improved, however, and she was able to play the role in the film version, winning an Oscar).

Stapleton played in other Williams' productions, including Twenty-Seven Wagons Full of Cotton and Orpheus Descending, as well as Lillian Hellman's Toys in the Attic. She won a second Tony Award for Neil Simon's The Gingerbread Lady, which was written especially for her, in 1971.

Her film career also brought her immediate success, with her debut in Lonelyhearts (1958) earning a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She was nominated again for Airport (1970) and Interiors (1978) and won for Reds (1981), in which she portrayed the social activist Emma Goldman. She ended her acceptance speech with the quip "I would like to thank everyone I've ever met."

Her more recent appearances included Johnny Dangerously (1984), Cocoon and Cocoon: The Return (1985 and 1988).

Stapleton's first husband was Max Allentuck (general manager to the producer Kermit Bloomgarden), and her second husband was playwright David Rayfiel, from whom she was divorced. She had a son, Daniel, and a daughter, Katherine, by her first husband and later was a devoted grandmother.

Stapelton suffered from anxiety and alcoholism for many years, and once told an interviewer, "The curtain came down and I went into the vodka." She said that her unhappy childhood contribulted to her insecurities.

She was not related to actress Jean Stapleton.

A heavy smoker, Maureen Stapleton died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at her home in Lenox, Massachusetts, at the age of 80.

In 1981 Hudson Valley Community College in Stapleton's childhood city of Troy, NY dedicated a theater in her name at the suggestion of then college president Joseph Bulmer who was a childhood friend. The theatre is located in the college's Raymond H. Siek Campus Center, which recently underwent an extensive, $8.4 million renovation, which had resulted in the closure of the theatre since January 2005. Due to cost constraints, the theatre was not included in the renovation project; the college hopes to secure additional philanthropic support to make the entire renovation of the theatre possible.

O.C. Smith
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

O.C. Smith (21 June 1932 - November 23, 2001) was a Grammy Award winning musician.

Born Ocie Lee Smith in Mansfield, Louisiana, Smith moved with his parents to Little Rock, Arkansas before their divorce saw Smith and his mother move to Los Angeles.

After completing a psychology degree at Southern University, Smith joined the United States Airforce and served throughout the US, Europe and Asia. While in the Air Force, Smith began entering talent contests and toured with Horace Heidt and on his discharge in July 1955, Smith realised that a career in jazz was for him.

Smith gained his first break as a singer with Sy Oliver and made an appearance on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts television show, which led to a recording contract with the Cadence label. Smith's debut release was a cover of the Little Richard hit "Tutti Frutti" in December 1955. The song was not a hit but convinced MGM Records to sign Smith to a solo contract resulting in three more releases but still no hits.

In 1961, Smith was recruited by Count Basie to be his vocalist, a position he held until 1965. He also continued to record with different labels but a hit remained elusive (his highest position being number 127 for his 1967 release "That's Life"). By 1968, Smith's then label Columbia Records was ready to release him from his contract when he entered the charts for the first time with "Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp".

Smith changed the first part of his name to O.C. and recorded a cover of the Bobby Russell song "Little Green Apples", which shot to number 2 on the pop charts and won Smith a 1969 Grammy Award for 'Best Song'.

While Smith was unable to scale these heights again, he continued to record, reaching number 34 with "Daddy's Little Man" before retiring from music to study divinity. In 1985 Smith became Dr O.C. Smith, pastor of the City of Angels Science of Mind Centre in Los Angeles and continued to preach until his death in 2001.

Ron Ely
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ron Ely (born 1938-06-21) is the stage name of the American actor born Ronald Pierce in Hereford, Texas. He is best known for starring as Tarzan in the 1966 NBC series Tarzan.

He got the role after playing various bit-parts (including an airplane co-pilot in the 1958 movie South Pacific). His height (6' 4") and athletic build also won him the title role in the 1975 Doc Savage film, as well as various guest shots: In a 1978 Fantasy Island episode, for example, he played Mark Antony in a Roman military short tunic and breastplate that displayed almost as much of his physique as his Tarzan costume had.

In the 1980s, he starred in the series Sea Hunt and hosted the musical game show Face the Music.

In the 1990s, Ely's roles included a retired Superman in a two-part episode of Superboy, and a character named Gordon Shaw in the syndicated Tarzán (starring Wolf Larson).

Mariette Hartley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mariette Hartley, was born Mary Loretta Hartley on June 21, 1940 in Weston, Connecticut to Paul and Mary "Polly" Hartley. She is an American actress, best known for her work in television, but who began her career on stage coached and mentored by the legendary Eva Le Gallienne in her teens.

She launched her film career in Ride the High Country, a classic western with Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea and directed by Sam Peckinpah.

One of her early television guest appearances was in the next-to-last classic Star Trek episode, All Our Yesterdays.

She co-starred in the 1980s situation comedy Goodnight, Beantown alongside Bill Bixby. She had previously made a memorable guest appearances on Bixby's 1970s TV series, The Incredible Hulk.

During the late 1970s she also appeared with James Garner in an extremely popular series of television commercials advertising Polaroid cameras. The two actors worked so well together that it was often erroneously suggested that they were married in real life. Her bio contains a photo of her in a T-shirt proclaiming, "I am NOT Mrs. James Garner". Hartley also guest-starred in an episode of Garner's TV series The Rockford Files during this period. The script required them to kiss at one point. Unknown to them, a paparazzo was photographing the scene from a distance. The photos were run in a tabloid trying to provoke a scandal, causing a great deal of trouble.

She has spoken in public about her experience of bipolar disorder, and was a founder of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

She is the author of Breaking The Silence with Anne Commire and has her one-woman show, If You Get to Bethlehem, You've Gone Too Far currently running in Los Angeles.

"There has been a change at the White House. President Bush's
speech writer is leaving the administration. His last words
were, 'Me go now.'" --Conan O'Brien

Well, folks, Perhaps our hawkman has had his wings clipped or perhaps he is suffering from equipment failure; however we always appreciate his background on the celebs. Thanks, Boston. Finally, we discovered that Raggedy's picture was of Maureen Stapleton.

You're right, cowboy. Time and tide wait for no man, not even our Bob. <smile>

I noticed on the jazz news that Sonny Rollins was named "Musician of the Year." So let's listen to the song that he played in concert for 9/11. He always said that he sang the lyrics in his mind as he playe that saxophone, so here they are:


Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never have been
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn, would never see a plow
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A man is born, but he's no good no how
Without a song
I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along, as long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall
I only know, there ain't no love at all
Without a song

Beautiful.

Yes, those are wonderful words.


Bruce Springsteen
ACROSS THE BORDER Lyrics

Tonight my bag is packed
Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks
That will lead me across the border

Tomorrow my love and I
Will sleep 'neath auburn skies
Somewhere across the border

We'll leave behind my dear
The pain and sadness we found here
And we'll drink from the Bravo's muddy waters

Where the sky grows grey and white
We'll meet on the other side
There across the border

For you I'll build a house
High up on a grassy hill
Somewhere across the border

Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border

And sweet blossoms fills the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool clear waters

And in your arms 'neath the open skies
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border

Tonight we'll sing the songs
I'll dream of you my corazon
And tomorrow my heart will be strong

And may the saints' blessing and grace
Carry me safely into your arms
There across the border

For what are we
Without hope in our hearts
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters

And eat the fruit from the vine
I know love and fortune will be mine
Somewhere across the border

In the words of Conan O' Brien: "Me back now".

Try, that song is quite romantic, buddy. "I'll dream of you my corazon" Can you explain that? I love the sound of the word.

I suppose the Boss is referring to Mexico, soooooo

James Taylor

Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple I just got to go
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I'll have to go now

"Americano" got the sleepy eye
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
Sleepy "Señorita" with the eyes on fire

Oh, Mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moon's so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right

Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard

Oh, down in Mexico
I never really been so I don't really know
Oh, Mexico
I guess I'll have to go

Oh, Mexico
I never really been but I'd sure like to go
Oh, Mexico
I guess I'll have to go now

Yes, Try, I hear that melody in my head. It's a wonderful song, buddy.

How about a song for the first day of summer. I have a request for it:


The Green Leaves Of Summer

Performed by Brothers Four

Wo...wo...
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky

A time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
A time to be courting
A girl of your own "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
And to stand by your wife
At the moment of birth, wo...

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
A time just for living
A place for to die "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
