I was just wondering…

Where Are You Tonight
Tom Johnston Lyrics

I want to know where are you tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
I want to know where are you tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
I've got to know (where are you) girl I've got to find you

I look at the moon and a single star
It's making me crazy wondering where you are
I reach out and touch that heavenly face
Open my hand and there's empty space

Oh no, where are you tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
I've got to know where are you tonight baby

The sink and the dishes spent the weekend there
Should clean up the place but I just don't care
Tonight I'll be talking to the moon and that star
Maybe they'll tell me where on earth you are

Oh no, where are you tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
I've got to know where are you tonight

Please believe me when you leave me
Keeps me worrying through the night
Worry baby makes me crazy
Can't tell wrong from right
Come to me tonight

I want to know where are you tonight (tonight)
Tonight
I'got to know where are you tonight (tonight)
Don't you hear me calling to you baby
Where are you tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)

I'got to know where are you... baby
Where are you tonight (tonight)
I'got to know where are you tonight baby baby
You baby please hear, just give me some kind of sound girl

Well, Try, I'm being followed.

Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow

And if I ever lose my hands

Oh

Ooh
I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes
if my colours all run dry
Yes

Ooh
I won't have to cry no more.
Yes
I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
moon shadow
moon shadow.
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow
moon shadow
moon shadow.
And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan and I won't beg
Oh
if I ever lose my legs
Ooh
I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth
all my teeth North and South
Yes
if I ever lose my mouth
Ooh
I won't have to talk.
Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me and are you gonna stay the night?
I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
moon shadow
moon shadow.
Leapin' und hoppin' on a moon shadow
moon shadow
moon shadow.
Moon shadow
moon shadow
moon shadow
moon shadow.

Wesley Snipes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wesley Trent Snipes (born July 31, 1962, in Orlando, Florida) is an American actor, martial artist and producer. He is probably best known for his role as the eponymous vampire hunter in the Blade trilogy of movies.

Biography

Snipes grew up in The Bronx and he decided early on that he wanted to be a dancer--until he took some acting classes. He started at the High School for the Performing Arts, but his mother divorced and they moved back to Orlando. Snipes would eventually graduate from Jones High School in 1980. While in Florida, Snipes did puppet theater, mime and musical theater in competitions and festivals. He then attended the State University of New York College at Purchase and graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in 1985.

He also played a cliche tough guy role in the Michael Jackson music video "Bad" released in September of 1987. He often plays tough characters in action movies, and has demonstrated considerable athletic and fighting ability. He is interested in martial arts, including Karate, Kung Fu, and Capoeira. This interest is reflected in the fact that many of his movies make reference to Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

Snipes was married from 1985 to 1990 and has a son from this marriage. He later married Korean painter Nakyung Park in 2003. They have three children.

In 1991, Snipes formed the independent production company Amen Ra Films. It co-produced the first two Blade films and other titles that Snipes has starred in. In 2004 Snipes went on to star in his third Blade movie "Blade Trinity."

Snipes played drug kingpin Nino Brown in New Jack City, which was a contrast to his role as a New York City Detective in King of New York a year earlier. Another film in which his character was involved in drugs was the hauntingly somber movie Sugar Hill.

In 2005, Snipes was detained at Johannesburg International Airport for allegedly trying to pass through the airport with a fake South African passport. Snipes later told South African officials that he had applied for the South African papers not only for himself but for his family. During the interview, it was established that Snipes did indeed have fraudulent South African documentation in his possession. Snipes and his attorney agreed to cooperate with the South African Inspectorate of the National Immigration Branch in their investigation. Snipes was allowed to return home because he had a valid U.S. passport, but the South African authorities reduced his immigration status to undesirable as a result of the incident. To date, no explanation has been offered as to exactly why Snipes entered South Africa on forged papers.

Christopher Williams was suspected of having beaten Halle Berry so badly that she became nearly deaf in one ear; however, he alleges that it was actually Wesley Snipes who physically abused Halle Berry. [citation needed]

Paternity Suit Allegations

In 2004, Snipes was named as the defendant in a paternity suit brought by an Indiana woman named Lanise Pettis. Pettis alleged that she had sex with Snipes in a Chicago crack house in 2000 and that Snipes had fathered a child with her. Snipes denied the allegations and reportedly twice refused to submit to a paternity test requested by Pettis. On July 25, 2004, a Manhattan Family Court judge issued an arrest warrant for Snipes' failure to submit to the paternity test. The judge also set bail at $250,000. *[1] Snipes subsequently sued New York City, charging that it had no jurisdiction to arrest him as part of an Indiana paternity case. However, on January 27, 2005, Snipes' bid to have a federal judge cancel the arrest warrant was denied. *[2] It was eventually determined that he was not the father and the case was dismissed accordingly.

Trivia

In the game Tekken 5, the character known as Raven closely resembles Wesley Snipes.
Wesley Snipes' dark complexion was poked fun at in a segment of Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories on Chappelle's Show. While Charlie Murphy discussed how the lighter-skinned Rick James teased him for his complexion, calling him "Darkness," Murphy explained, "See, this is long before Wesley Snipes. Back then...we was the blackest niggas on the planet according to Rick James."

Dean Cain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Dean George Cain (born July 31, 1966) is an American actor best known for playing Superman in the television series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, in which he starred with future Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher.

Cain was born Dean George Tanaka, in Mount Clemens, Michigan to actress Sharon Thomas and U.S. Army serviceman Roger Tanaka. His parents divorced before he was born, but his mother later married film director Christopher Cain, and moved to Malibu, California.

At Santa Monica High School, Cain excelled in sports. When he graduated in 1984, he turned down 17 athletic scholarships to attend Princeton University, where he went on to captain the volleyball team and play free safety on the football team (setting the NCAA record for the most interceptions per game in a single season), in addition to joining the Zeta Psi fraternity. He also dated actress Brooke Shields, who was one year ahead of him at the university. Cain graduated from Princeton in 1988 with an BA in History; the title of his senior thesis was The History And Development Of The Functions Of The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences.

Immediately after graduating, Cain signed on as a free agent with the Buffalo Bills, a NFL football team, but a knee injury during training ended his football career before it began. With little hope of returning to sports, he turned to screenwriting and then acting, shooting dozens of commercials and appearing on popular television shows like Grapevine, A Different World and Beverly Hills 90210. In 1993, Cain took on the role of Superman in the new television series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which ran until 1997.

In 1998, Cain started the Angry Dragon Entertainment production company, which produces the new TBS Superstation television series Ripley's Believe It or Not!. He has also starred in several films, including The Broken Hearts Club (2000), Out of Time (2003) and Bailey's Billions (2004). In 2004, he portrayed Scott Peterson in the fact-based made for television movie The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story.

Trivia

The college Dean in How High is repeatedly referred to as 'Dean Cain'.
Dean Cain is a quarter Japanese, French-Canadian, Irish and Welsh.
He has a son named Christopher Dean Cain, with former girlfriend and Playboy model Samantha Torres.
He was previously engaged to country singer Mindy McCready in the late 1990s.
Dean Cain's portrayal of Superman was also notable for having the reverse of the traditional distinction in hairstyles between Clark Kent and Superman; here, it is Superman who has the slicked-back hair, and Clark whose fringe falls more naturally, perhaps to reinforce the notion that Kent is the 'genuine' personality whereas Superman is the artificial disguise. In neither mode does the character feature his trademark spitcurl, making it one of the few depictions of Superman to lack this distinctive feature.
Frequent allusions to Dean Cain can be heard on the Extralife podcast by Scott Johnson and his co-hosts.

A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums of money
was talking to his lawyer. "If I lose this case, I'll
be ruined."
"It's in the judge's hands now," said the lawyer.
"Would it help if I sent the judge a box of cigars?"
"Oh no! This judge is a stickler or ethical behavior. A
stunt like that would prejudice him against you. He might
even hold you in contempt of court. In fact, you shouldn't
even smile at the judge."
Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision
in favor of the defendant. As the defendant left the
courthouse, he said to his lawyer, "Thanks for the tip
about the cigars. It worked!"
"I'm sure we would have lost the case if you'd sent them."
"But, I did send them."
"What? You did?" said the lawyer, incredulously.
"Yes. That's how we won the case."
"I don't understand," said the lawyer. "It's easy. I
sent the cigars to the judge, but enclosed the plaintiff's
business card."

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors. Well, our hawkman is up early today and we always enjoy his bio's. Thanks, again, buddy.

You know, folks, it took me a few minutes to get the punch line on our Bob's lawyer and judge joke. Now the light finally filters through. Wow! That was one smart move. Love it!

We'll await our Raggedy with her pictures before commenting on the celebs.

It's going to be a silver day today, methinks.

A big smile for everyone.

In looking through our vast audience, I find that the silver day is a bit tarnished. It troubles me to realize that so many of us are at odds with each other, both nationally and individually. This poem came to mind, folks:

The Man He Killed ~Thomas Hardy
"Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have sat us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!

"But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him and he at me,
And killed him in his place.

"I shot him dead because -
Because he was my foe,
Just so - my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although

"He thought he'd 'list perhaps,
Off-hand like - just as I -
Was out of work - had sold his traps -
No other reason why.

"Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat if met where any bar is,
Or help to half-a-crown."

Keeping an eye on the news abroad:

Naked women leave police speechless Fri Jul 28, 10:11 AM ET



TIRANA (Reuters) - Albanian police were speechless when around 30 Scandinavian women went topless, shocking local bathers and causing an uproar in an Albanian beach resort.

"Police only watched ... they could not approach the tourists because they spoke no English," a local newspaper in the southern Albania coastal town of Sarande said.

Albanian mothers dragged their children away and police received a barrage of complaints over the Scandinavian tourists.

The Scandinavians left after two hours when their guide was informed that nude bathing was banned on public beaches. Nudity and topless bathing are still taboo in the poor Balkan country.


And it's a good thing they left or they would have been busted.

Big smile, Bob. These Scandinavians are scandalous.

and speaking of scandalous, listeners. Both John Fowles' French Lieutenant's Woman and Thomas Hardy's Jude the obscure shocked Victorian England and caused the sale of books to soar.. Ain't that always the way? People sneaking the books home and reading them in seclusion. Love it!

Well now that the crowd's quiet why don't I sing you a song.




You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hangin' 'Round Your Face :: NEIL DIAMOND

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows.

Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)
And you're nothing like them females
From Dover City
(nothin' at all)
Front teeth missin'
(hee, you got your front teeth missin')
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)
You're more loyal than my dog Sam,
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.

I can't forget (oh, no)
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o)
And I almost cried (wept)
When you took first prize
(first prize, sweetheart)
Well,
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go
(they never had a chance)

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows



Actually it was sung by Neil Diamond, but he sounds a lot like me.

John Robert Fowles (March 31, 1926 - November 5, 2005) was a British novelist and essayist...In 1968 Fowles moved to Lyme Regis in Dorset and used it as the setting for The French Lieutenant's Woman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fowles

those Victorians were remarkably long-lived.

Funny song, Bob. Do you really sound like a diamond? I believe it, honey.

Ah, folks. We need to sing a groupie song for our Karaoke man:

Karen Carpenter:

Long ago, and oh so far away
I fell in love with you,
before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so
sweet and clear
But you're not really hear
it's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me
you loved me now baby
You said you'd be coming
back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you,
I really do

Loneliness, is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait
to be with you again
What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar

Don't you remember you told me
you loved me now baby
You said you'd be coming
back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you
I really do

and I sound rather like her, Bob.

Why, my goodness. I missed our turtle, resident researcher and editor. My apologies, honey.

Warning to our listeners. Do NOT read The Collector by Fowles, whatever era you prefer.

Smile, without a reason why
Love, as if you were a child,
Smile, no matter what they tell you
Don't listen to a word they say
Cause life is beautiful that way.

Tears, a tidal wave of tears
Light, that slowly disappears
Wait, before you close the curtain
There is still another game to play
And life is beautiful that way

Here with this eyes forevermore
I will always be as close as you
remember from before
Now that you're out there on your own
Remember what is real and
what we dream is love alone

Keep the laughter in you eyes
Soon your long awaited prize
We'll forget about our sorrows
And think about a brighter day
Cause life is beautiful that way.

We'll forget about our sorrows
And think about a brighter day,
Cause life is beautiful that way
There's still another game to play
And life is beautiful that way.

actually, i understand the French Lt.'s Woman is quite popular among tortoises that hatched in the Victorian era.

Well, my goodness, folks. Now we have our stuff together with a hawk and a turtle and a frog.

Lovely song, Francis. You must have written that one, Paris.

Yit, I am about to change you into a tortoise, but you would be beautiful even as a mudturtle. <smile>A turtle for all seasons?

All right. Someone request a song for those who cry and still think life is beautiful.

I have one that fits perfectly:

But Beautiful


Love is funny or it's sad
Or it's quiet or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful

Beautiful to take a chance and if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all

Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful

And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know.



Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But it's beautiful

And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know.

Love that song, y'all.

The French Lieutenant's Woman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The French Lieutenant's Woman is a 1969 novel by John Fowles. The book was inspired by the 1823 novel Ourika by Claire de Duras, which Fowles translated to English in 1977 (and revised in 1994). In 1981, the novel was adapted as a feature film.

Qurika by Claire de Duras is the one I meant.

ah, that Clairefies what was formerly Obscure.
