Shelley Duvall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Shelley Duvall (born July 7, 1949) is an award winning American film and television actress who began her career in the 1970s playing quirky and waif-like characters in the movies of Robert Altman, and eventually starred in movies by Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton.

Duvall was born in Houston, Texas and graduated from Waltrip High School. Duvall was working as a cosmetics saleswoman at a Houston Foley's when she was discovered at a party by production scouts for Altman's Brewster McCloud (1970). After a tough interview with Altman, she later won the lead role of Suzanne, the free-spirited love interest to Bud Cort's reclusive Brewster. Altman was impressed enough with Duvall's work to cast the young actress in his next films, including McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971), Thieves Like Us (1974), and Nashville (1975). In 1977, Duvall was named Best Actress by the Cannes Film Festival and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association for her portrayal of the delusional Millie Lammoreaux in Altman's 3 Women.

That same year Duvall appeared in Annie Hall playing Woody Allen's one-night stand. Her next role would be Wendy opposite Jack Nicholson in Kubrick's The Shining (1980). The actress and director would openly argue on set, and it is said that the perfectionist Kubrick once demanded she perform 127 takes for a single scene.

Starting in the early 1980s, Duvall began to act in and produce television shows for children, often based on popular fairy tales (Fairie Tale Theatre).

Deep Thoughts from Bumper Stickers

* Clones are people two.

* Ground Beef: A Cow With No Legs!

* A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

* Air Pollution is a mist-demeanor.

* Santa's elves are just a bunch of subordinate Clauses.

* I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure.

* Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

* Editing is a rewording activity.

* Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

* Help stamp out, delete, and eradicate superfluous redundancy.

* What if there were no hypothetical questions?

Well, our Bob has completed his bio's, folks. Love those bumper stickers, buddy, especially the Pavlov one.

A lot of unknown facts in your background of the famous, hawkman. I always discover something worth knowing as I am certain our other listeners do.

We will await Raggedy's entrance before commenting further, as pictures are such great reminders, right?

"I Am Blessed" Lyrics - Eternal

Here in the silence I say a prayer
Though I've never seen you, somehow I know you're there
You're in the faces of the people that I meet
You're as solid as the Earth beneath my feet
So if I should complain, that all I have is not enough
Forgive me, I've been given so much

And I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes
I think of all the friends who've touched my life
I realise, in a world where some have more and some have less
I have love, and I am blessed

So many changes this world can put you through
Sometimes it's hard to find a way, a heart can get confused
But then I hold you, and it all falls into place
You've given me what time cannot erase
So when I'm feeling down, or feeling sorry for myself
I look around and it's easy to tell

That I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes
I think of all the friends who've touched my life
I realise, in a world where some have more and some have less
I have love, and I am blessed

Every time I look into my baby's eyes, I realise

I think of all the friends who've touched my life

And I am blessed (I am blessed)
Every time I look into my baby's eyes (I look into your eyes)
I think of all the friends who've touched my life
I realise (I realise), you've given me such peace and happiness
In this world where some have more and some have less
I am loved
And I am blessed

Good day all.

Did I hear someone say "rhino virus and Slim Whitman, eventually killed the Martian invaders. " Not sweet Slim Whitman whose version of The Indian Love Call has got to be the best ever recorded?

Well, here's our butterfly lighting in our studio, listeners. That is a simple and lovely song, Auzzie. Thank you. <smile>

From the King and I:

Song: We Kiss in a Shadow Lyrics

[LUN THA]

We kiss in a shadow,
We hide from the moon,
Our meetings are few,
And over too soon.

We speak in a whisper,
Afraid to be heard;
When people are near,
We speak not a word.
Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"

[TUPTIM]

We speak in a whisper,
Afraid to be heard;
When people are near,

[LUN THA]

We speak not a word.
Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free

[BOTH]

To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"

[TUPTIM]

To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"

Well, Raggedy. I missed those great pictures, but I read your mind about Yul. Thanks, PA.

I think that Mars Attacks was one funny movie, Raggedy. I have never heard Slim sing Indian Love Call, but perhaps I should have a cd with him singing it, just in case things get funny on the red planet.

Oh, I forgot about "Mars Attacks", Letty. I just looked it up. He sang The Indian Love Call in that movie. That is funny.

I'll have to look it up as well, Raggedy. I've forgotten the plot, and I had no idea that Slim did Indian Love Call in that one. I love spoofs. Pardon my lack of proper punctuation. I get too lazy sometimes.

I think, folks, it's time for a little music. Everywhere I look, people are arguing.

Let's hear a good one by the Boss:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Badlands
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts man
I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes I don't give a damn
For just the in-betweens honey I want the heart I want the soul
I want control right now talk about a dream
Try to make it real you wake up in the night
With a fear so real spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting

Badlands you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good

Workin' in the field till you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheels till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got
Now I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day
It will raise me above these

Badlands...

For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these

Badlands...

That should cheer everyone up.

"That should cheer everyone up."


All I can say is…

Don't Worry, Be Happy
From the Movie "Cocktails"
Performed by Bobby McFerrin

Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....

There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy

But, but, but, TRY. What if we want to be blue, honey? <smile>

Incidentally, buddy. I think (but cannot verify) that the woman who wrote "I'll Never Smile Again", wrote it as a suicide note then changed her mind when it became a big hit. Funny, folks, what a little money can do.

But Nat Cole had a different version:

Funny, how Ive stopped loving you

I can pass you on the street and my heart dont skip a beat

Not much, so much my eyes wanna cry

Funny, how Ive stopped loving you

I can listen to your name and it doesnt start a flame

Not much, so much my heart wants to die



Now that youre standing here, darling, I dont shed a tear

This is just the rain in my eyes

And if I have proved to you everything I say is true

Please help me believe my own lies



Funny, how Ive stopped loving you

And its funny I dont miss all the heaven in your kiss

Your touch, no I dont love you, not much



<instrumental>



Funny, how Ive stopped loving you

And its funny I dont miss all the heaven in your kiss

Your touch, no I dont love you, not much



No I dont love you, not much

There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
And if I'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.
It isn't what she's got to say
But how she thinks and where she's been
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound
I like to hear them best that way
It doesn't much matter what they mean
If she says them mostly just to calm me down
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- She has the power to go where no one else can find me
And to silently remind me
Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know.
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.

dys, Is that a Beadle song? I love it, incidentally. Shall we dedicate that one to your lady?

Had to play this one, listeners, 'cause I found out that this kid is the youngest rapper to be on top:

That ought to be a real challenge in translation.

One Man Wrecking Machine
Guster

I built a time machine
Going to see the homecoming queen
Take her to the Christmas dance
Maybe now I'll get in her pants
Whatever

Back with my high school friends
Meeting where the train tracks end
Passin' 'round a skinny joint
Rollin up to look-out point

I wanna pull it apart and put it back together
I wanna relive all my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine

Back in my parent's house
Back to the shouting out loud
One day you'll be a man
One day you'll understand

I wanna pull it apart and put it back together
I wanna relive all my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine

Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine

Here in the present tense
Nothings making sense
Waiting for my moment to come
Everything's come undone

I tried to pull it apart and put it back together
No point in living in my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine

Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine

For the sailors.

My coffee-shop

Music: Manos Loizos
Lyrics: Lefteris Papadopoulos
Singer: Georgios Dallaras

I have a coffee-shop, at the edge of the port.
It was built by the tear of the ones who stay.
The ones who stay and wait.

I have a coffee-shop, which always hears the same things.
Conversations about sea journeys and going aboard, from ones who stay.
The ones who stay and wait.

I have a coffee-shop, an old damn coffee-shop.
I wish it was a ship, for the ones who stay.
The ones who stay and wait.

Good morning WA2K radio fans and contributors.

dj, great song, Canada, but why anyone would want to go back in time to the days of high school is beyond me.

There's our Ellinas. Welcome back Greece. What an interesting song. It is rather wistful, however. Your translation was really smooth, just like the coffee that I plan to have shortly.<smile>

Anyone care to join me?

The Captain

Now the Captain called me to his bed
He fumbled for my hand
"Take these silver bars," he said
"I'm giving you command."
"Command of what, there's no one here
There's only you and me --
All the rest are dead or in retreat
Or with the enemy."
"Complain, complain, that's all you've done
Ever since we lost
If it's not the Crucifixion
Then it's the Holocaust."
"May Christ have mercy on your soul
For making such a joke
Amid these hearts that burn like coal
And the flesh that rose like smoke."

"I know that you have suffered, lad,
But suffer this awhile:
Whatever makes a soldier sad
Will make a killer smile."
"I'm leaving, Captain, I must go
There's blood upon your hand
But tell me, Captain, if you know
Of a decent place to stand."

"There is no decent place to stand
In a massacre;
But if a woman take your hand
Go and stand with her."
"I left a wife in Tennessee
And a baby in Saigon --
I risked my life, but not to hear
Some country-western song."

"Ah but if you cannot raise your love
To a very high degree,
Then you're just the man I've been thinking of --
So come and stand with me."
"Your standing days are done," I cried,
"You'll rally me no more.
I don't even know what side
We fought on, or what for."

"I'm on the side that's always lost
Against the side of Heaven
I'm on the side of Snake-eyes tossed
Against the side of Seven.
And I've read the Bill of Human Rights
And some of it was true
But there wasn't any burden left
So I'm laying it on you."

Now the Captain he was dying
But the Captain wasn't hurt
The silver bars were in my hand
I pinned them to my shirt.
