WA2K Radio is now on the air

Together we could kick Dr Phil's butt.

The song of Dr Freud, was slightly misquoted
It ought to have been
"down repression, up libido."

Of course, edgar. Everyone knows about libido.

Zebrahead Lyrics

Livin' Libido Loco


Enrique played in a band. down at the sand.
He hustled women and worked on his tan.
Drove an iroq camero quadrophonic 8 track stereo.
He was a sharp dressin' suave. cultured and smooth ladies man.

Maria stared in the show.
It's all that she knows.
She loved enrique and bilar and snow.
She knew her lover had others, but her heart was a desparate young soul.
She sold a night to a stranger while searching for her pot of gold.

(chorus)
We can dance to the rhythm, we can dace to the mornin' light.
On a sultury summer night.
The time is right for love.
Livin' libido loco days. (x2)

Arturo led a small gang. a downtown thang.
He loved maria the young bird who sang.
He bought her heart for a night, with some lines at the local disco.
She wore his love on her face, in the back of arturo's limo.

Enrique was quite aware, of maria's afair.
He vowed 'vengence arturo I swear.
He brought his blade to the fight, but they both suffered their final blow.
Now maria's in mourning, as she's left to live life alone.

(chorus)

It's been twenty years past, since maria's been last.
To the disco where she lost her soul.
She wipes a tear from her eye, and she still fights memories of ago.
As her new limo ride let's her in and asks 'how much, let's go.'

(chorus)

How's that for combining Austrian and Spanish, folks?

Well, listeners. Time for me to say goodnight, and I shall do so with a lovely song from our Japanese Sandman:

Yozora o kakeru nagare boshi o ima
Mitsukerare tara nani o inoru darou
Tabitatsu kimi to kawashita yakusoku
Kokoro no naka ni itsumo aru

Nemurenai yoru ni

Yume o ou kimi to mimamoru boku ni
Onaji hoshi no hikari ga furi sosogu
Furi kaerazu ni aruite hoshii to
Namida koraete miokutta
Yozora o kakeru nagare hoshi o ima

Tabi tatsu kimi to kawashita yakusoku
Kokoro no naka ni itsumo aru

Itsu demo tsutsunde

Yozora o kakeru nagare boshi o ima
Mitsukerare tara nani o inoru darou
Tabi tatsu kimi to kawashita yakusoku
Kokoro no naka ni itsumo aru

and the translation:

What shall I wish upon a falling star,
If I can sight one now.
I always keep in mind
The words we had when you left far.

when I have a sleepless night
What I wish to hear Is your voice.
I remember how your side view would shine
as you were rapt in the talk staying up all night.

While the light of stars twinkled down on us,
You would chase a dream as I behold you.
Then holding back my tears,
I sent you off wishing your not looking back.

What shall I wish upon a falling star,
If I can sight one now.
I always keep in mind
The words we had when you left far.

I wish I could always wrap you in a big hug
Showing no sign of my growing loneliness (without you beside me).

And after our separation,
I feel impatient about the pace of passage of time.

When we wish upon a bright star,
It will play a role to strengthen our love.
And even your solitary locus can become solid.

What shall I wish upon a falling star,
If I can sight one now.
I always keep in mind
The words we had when you left far.

While the light of stars twinkled down on us,
You would chase a dream as I behold you.
Then holding back my tears,
I sent you off wishing your not looking back.

What shall I wish upon a falling star,
If I can sight one now.
I always keep in mind
The words we had when you left far.


From Letty with love

I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
Way out in New Mexico long long ago
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four.
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
In old Silver City he went to the bad
Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man.

There's Mexican maidens play guitars and sing
Songs about Billy, their boy bandit king
Ere his young manhood has reached his sad end
With a notch an his pistol for twenty one men!
Was on a sad night when poor Billy died
He said to his friend, "I'm not satisfied
There's twenty one men I have put bullets through
Sheriff Pat Garrett must make twenty two!"

I'll sing you how Billy the Kid met his fate
The bright moon was shinin', the hour was late
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
The young outlaw's life is now come to an end.
There's many a man with a face fine and fair
Who start out in life with a chance to be square
Just like poor Billy they wander astray
They'll lose their lives in the very same way!

Mama, take this badge off of me

I can't use it anymore.

It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see

I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.



Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door



Mama, put my guns in the ground

I can't shoot them anymore.

That long black cloud is comin' down

I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.



Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors. What a nightmare I had last evening. It's all that Freud stuff, I think. <smile>

My, my, our cowboy is up early and singing. Love both those songs, dys. Interesting the truth behind Billy the Kid, but I hate to expose the legendary hero, so I'll just let our listeners have their own dreams. I especially like the Knocking on Heaven's Door, and here's a response from Creedence.

Just got home from Illinois lock the front door oh boy!
Got to sit down take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in pretty soon I'm singin'

CHORUS:
Doo doo doo Lookin' out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.

CHORUS
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.

CHORUS
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

CHORUS
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

CHORUS

Teresa Wright
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Muriel Teresa Wright (October 27, 1918 - March 6, 2005) was an Academy Award-winning American actress, known professionally as



Early life

Wright was born in Harlem, New York City and grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey. During her years at Columbia High School, she became seriously interested in acting and spent her summers working in Provincetown theater productions. Following her high school graduation in 1938, she returned to New York and was hired to understudy the role of Emily (played by Dorothy McGuire and later Martha Scott) in Thornton Wilder's Our Town. She took over the role when Martha Scott went to Hollywood to make the film version of the play.


Career

In the fall of 1939, she appeared in Life with Father, playing the role of Mary Skinner for two years. It was there that she was discovered by a talent scout hired by Samuel Goldwyn to find a young actress for the role of Bette Davis' daughter in the 1941 adaptation of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes. She was immediately signed to a five-year Hollywood contract but asserted her seriousness as an actress. Her contract was unique by Hollywood standards because it contained the following clause:

"The aforementioned Teresa Wright shall not be required to pose for photographs in a bathing suit unless she is in the water. Neither may she be photographed running on the beach with her hair flying in the wind. Nor may she pose in any of the following situations: In shorts, playing with a cocker spaniel; digging in a garden; whipping up a meal; attired in firecrackers and holding skyrockets for the Fourth of July; looking insinuatingly at a turkey for Thanksgiving; wearing a bunny cap with long ears for Easter; twinkling on prop snow in a skiing outfit while a fan blows her scarf; assuming an athletic stance while pretending to hit something with a bow and arrow..."

After earning an Academy Award nomination for The Little Foxes, Wright appeared as the wife of Lou Gehrig in The Pride of the Yankees and then as Greer Garson's daughter-in-law in Mrs. Miniver. She received two Academy Award nominations that year, for Lead Actress (for Pride of the Yankees) and winning the award for Best Supporting Actress Oscar for (Mrs. Miniver).

In 1943 in the film Shadow of a Doubt, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, she played the innocent girl who discovered that her beloved uncle was a murderer. Other notable films include The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) and The Men (1950).

Wright rebelled against the studio system of the time; When Samuel Goldwyn fired her, citing her refusal to publicize a film, she expressed no regret about losing her $5000/week contract: [1]

The type of contract between players and producers is, I feel, antiquated in form and abstract in concept. ... We have no privacies which producers cannot invade, they trade us like cattle, boss us like children.
After 1959 she worked mainly in television and on the stage. She was nominated for Emmys in 1957 for The Miracle Worker and in 1960 for The Margaret Bourke-White Story. She was in the 1975 Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman.

Her more recent movie appearances included a major role in Somewhere in Time and the role of Miss Birdie in John Grisham's The Rainmaker in 1997.

She has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for motion pictures at 1658 Vine Street and one for television at 6405 Hollywood Blvd.


Private life

Wright was married to writer Niven Busch from 1942-1952; they had two children. She married playwright Robert Anderson in 1959; they later divorced, but maintained a close relationship until the end of her life.

She died of a heart attack at Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut at the age of 86.

Nanette Fabray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nanette Ruby Bernadette Fabares (born October 27, 1920 in San Diego, California) is an Emmy and Tony Award-winning American actress.

She has appeared in a number of motion pictures as well as on television including Caesar's Hour, One Day at a Time, The Carol Burnett Show and Coach among others. She also had a recurring role on Mary Tyler Moore as Mary's mother, Dottie Richards. She is a winner of three Emmy Awards.

She is the aunt of actress/singer Shelley Fabares. Nanette Fabares changed her name to a phonetic spelling after it was mispronounced as "Fa-bare-ass" by Ed Sullivan. (She told this story in a [1] live performance 8 December 2004).

Fabray's official biography has at times stated that she appeared in Our Gang shorts at the age of seven, although she never appeared in the series. One of her most memorable film appearances was in the musical, The Band Wagon (1953) opposite Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. She and Oscar Levant played a team of scatterbrained screenwriters who try to help a fallen star (Astaire) make his comeback.

Nanette Fabray overcame significant hearing impairment to pursue her career. She is also an advocate for the hearing-impaired.

Nanette Fabray has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Her second husband was screenwriter and director Ranald MacDougall (1957 - 1973); they had one child.

Ruby Dee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruby Dee (born October 27, 1924) is an African American actress and activist.

Dee was born Ruby Ann Wallace in Cleveland, Ohio, though she grew up in Harlem, New York. A 1945 graduate of Hunter College, with degrees in French and Spanish, Dee made several appearances on Broadway before getting national recognition for her role in the 1950 film, The Jackie Robinson Story. Her acting career has crossed all major forms of media over a span of 8 decades, including films such as A Raisin in the Sun (in which she recreated her stage role as a suffering housewife in the projects) and Edge of the City both opposite Sidney Poitier. During the 1960s, Dee appeared in such politically charged films such as Gone Are the Days and The Incident, which paved the way for young African American filmmakers and actors. She has been nominated for eight Emmy Awards, winning twice for her role in 1990's Decoration Day and for her guest appearance in the China Beach episode, "Skylark", in which her late husband Ossie Davis also appeared.

Ruby Dee and her late husband, actor Ossie Davis, were well-known civil rights activists. Dee is a member of such organizations as CORE, the NAACP, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Their son is blues musician Guy Davis. Dee and Davis were personal friends of both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, with Davis giving Malcom X's eulogy at his 1965 funeral.

Dee and Davis wrote a joint autobiography titled "With Ossie and Ruby", in which they discussed their political activism and their decision to have an open marriage.[1]

Ruby has survived breast cancer for more than 30 years.

Knocking on Heaven's Door was of course from the film, Pat Garret and Billy the Kid. This song was also on the soundtrack, both songs of course from B Dylan:


There's guns across the river aimin' at ya
Lawman on your trail, he'd like to catch ya
Bounty hunters, too, they'd like to get ya
Billy, they don't like you to be so free.

Campin' out all night on the veranda
Dealin' cards 'til dawn in the hacienda
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send ya
Billy, don't you turn your back on me.

Playin' around with some sweet senorita
Into her dark hallway she will lead ya
In some lonesome shadows she will greet ya
Billy, you're so far away from home.

There's eyes behind the mirrors in empty places
Bullet holes and scars between the spaces
There's always one more notch and ten more paces
Billy, and you're walkin' all alone.

They say that Pat Garrett's got your number
So sleep with one eye open when you slumber
Every little sound just might be thunder
Thunder from the barrel of his gun.

Guitars will play your grand finale
Down in some Tularosa alley,
Maybe in the Rio Pecos valley
Billy, you're so far away from home.

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
And some old whore from San Pedro to make advances
Advances on your spirit and your soul.

The businessmen from Taos want you to go down
They've hired Pat Garrett to force a showdown.
Billy, don't it make ya feel so low-down
To be shot down by the man who was your friend?

Hang on to your woman if you got one
Remember in El Paso, once, you shot one.
She may have been a whore, but she was a hot one
Billy, you been runnin' for so long.

Guitars will play your grand finale
Down in some Tularosa alley
Maybe in the Rio Pecos valley
Billy, you're so far away from home.

Regarding Billy the Kid, his mom operated a laundry in Wichita, Kansas, and was the only woman signatory to the city's incorporation in 1870.

Harry is getting along in years and finds that he is unable to
perform sexually. He finally goes to his doctor who tries a few things,
but nothing seems to work. So the doctor refers him to an American
Indian medicine man.
The medicine man says, "I can cure this." With that said, he throws a white
powder in a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke.
Then he says, "This is powerful healing but you can only use it once
year. All you have to do is say '123,' and it shall rise for as long as you wish!"
The guy then asks, "What happens when it's over, and I don't want
to continue?" The medicine man replies: "All you or your partner has
to say is 1234, and it will go down. "But be warned, It will not work
again for another year. "
! Harry rushes home, anxious to try out his new powers with powder.
That night he is ready to surprise his wife. He showers, shaves, and
puts on his most exotic shaving lotion and cologne. After he gets
into bed and is lying next to her, he says, "123;" and suddenly he
becomes more aroused than anytime in his life, just as the medicine
man had promised.
His wife, who had been facing away from him, turns over and asks,
"What did you say 123 for?"

Hey, hawkman. Welcome back. Great bio's today and Tico's and edgar's info about William Bonney sent me once again to the archives:

Loved your 123 tale, Boston. That's what a man gets for counting on outsiders to help him get through the night.

Will wait for our Raggedy to appear before commenting further, folks.

The following picture cannot be attached to our bulletin board, folks so we must frame it and put it on our studio desk:



Supposedly, this is the only known picture of Billy the Kid.

Aaron Copland did a "ballet" about Billy, and I found conflicting myths and legends about the man. Personally, I had been told that he was short in the mental department.

edgar, I did NOT realize that the song by dys was about Billy. Thanks, Texas, for that info.

Tico, Neither did I realize about his mom. Amazing, folks.

Good Afternoon.

When Billy the Kid escaped from jail, he killed the deputy, played by Slim Pickens. As a woman stood over the dead body, Knocking on Heaven's Door played.

There she is, folks. Hey, Raggedy. Great collage again today and I suspect that we know all of them:

There's Nanette, Teresa, Ruby, and John. Loved his Monty Python days, folks.

A Song for the Sensitive, the Idiot Song.

From the Album, Monty Python Live at Drury Lane,



How sweet to be an Idiot,
As harmless as a cloud,
Too small to hide the sun
Almost poking fun,
At the warm but insecure untidy crowd.
How sweet to be an idiot,
And dip my brain in joy,
Children laughing at my back,
With no fear of attack,
As much retaliation as a toy.

How sweet to be an idiot, how sweet.

I tiptoed down the street,
Smiled at everyone I meet,
But suddently a scream,
Smashes through my dream,
Fie fye foe fum,
I smell the blood of an asylum,
(Blood of an asylum,
But mother I play so beautifully,
listen. ha ha)
Fie fye foe fum,
I smell the blood of the asylum,
Hey you, you're such a pennant,
You got as much brain as a dead ant,
As much inagination as a carvan sign.

But I still love you, still love you,
Oooh how sweet to be an idiot,
How sweet. how sweet. How sweet.

Sorry, edgar. Missed your remark. Don't think I saw that movie, buddy.

Strange, folks, I searched for a song by Ruby Dee and could NOT find a one.

What's happened to google?

Who's the most important man this country ever knew?
Do you know what politician I have reference to?
Well, it isn't Mr. Bryan, and it isn't Mr. Hughes.
I've got a hunch that to that bunch I'm going to introduce:
(Again you're wrong and to this throng I'm going to Introduce:)
Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.
Barney Google bet his horse would win the prize.
When the horses ran that day, Spark Plug ran the other way.
Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.
Barney Google had a wife three times his size
She sued Barney for divorce
Now he's living with his horse

Who's the greatest lover that this country ever knew?
And who's the man that Valentino takes his hat off to?
No, it isn't Douglas Fairbanks that the ladies rave about.
When he arrives, who makes the wives chase all their husbands
out?
Why, it's Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.
Barney Google is the guy who never buys.
Women take him out to dine, then he steals the waiter's dime.
Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.
Barney Google is the luckiest of guys.
If he fell in to the mud, he'd come up with a diamond stud.
Barney Google with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.

Who's the greatest fire chief this country ever saw?
Who's the man who loves to hear the blazing buildings roar?
Anytime the house is burning, and the flames leap all about,
Say, tell me do, who goes, "kerchoo!" and puts the fire out?
Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.
Barney Google, thought his horse could win the prize.
He got odds of ten to eight; Spark Plug came in three days late.
Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.
Barney Google tried to enter paradise.
When Saint Peter saw his face, he said, "Go to the other place".
Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

since garrison keillor has made it to the "politics" forum on a2k , i thought it might be appropriate to show the funny side of garrison :wink: .

The Ballad of Peanut Butter Lyrics
Saturday, May 7, 2005


One day a child
Came home from football
Where he had fumbled,
Was jeered and booed.
His mother saw that
His heart was breaking
And so she made him
His favorite food.


CHORUS:
She did not make (a bowl of) Garden salad (greens), She made no whole (wheat rolls) Or a pile (of beans). It was a sandwich, on toasted white bread, Of peanut butter creamy style.
The years went by and
He was a loser,
He led a useless
And wretched life,
And yet she never
Criticized him,
She smiled as she
Got out the knife.

CHORUS

Then he decided
On the basis
Of a book that
He read one fall
That his problems
Had resulted
From excessive
Cholesterol.

He had some (great big bowls)
Of garden salad (greens),
He ate those whole (wheat rolls)
And a pile (of beans).
He gave up sandwiches on toasted white bread
With peanut butter creamy style.

That night his dog died,
He smashed his pick-up,
His sweetheart left him,
He lost his hair.
His house caught fire,
He went to prison,
His dear old mother
Came to him there.

She did not bring (him bowls of)
Garden salad (greens),
She brought no whole (wheat rolls)
Or a pile (of beans).
She brought a sandwich on toasted white bread
Of peanut butter creamy style.
