WA2K Radio is now on the air

Hey, Yit and dj. Don't you guys want me to go to bed happy?

Well, I'll see you in the morning, all.

Goodnight.

From Letty with love

here's some happy melancholy

Prettiest Eyes
The Beautiful South

Line One is the time
That you, you first stayed over at mine
And we drank our first bottle of wine
And we cried

Line Two we're away
And we both, we both had nowhere to stay
Well the bus-shelter's always OK
When you're young

Now you're older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
That you die

Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Sixty 25th of Decembers
Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
Not through the age or the failure, children
Not through the hate or despise
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Line Three I forget
But I think, I think it was our first ever bet
And the horse we backed was short of a leg
Never mind

Line Four in a park
And the things, the things that people do in the dark
I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
Then we did

Now you're older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
You should die

Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Sixty 25th of Decembers
Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
You can't have too many good times, children
You can't have too many lines
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Well my eyes look like a map of the town
And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown
But you'll never hear the crack of a frown
When you are here
You'll never hear the crack
Of a frown

Everybody Knows
(co-written by Sharon Robinson)
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows


Leonard Cohen

the band concrete blonde did a rather nice cover of that song edgar

here's one of their tunes

Joey
Concrete Blonde

Joey, baby - don't get crazy
Detours. Fences... I get defensive
I know you've heard it all before -
so I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
fight your secret war.
And though I used to wonder why -
I used to cry till I was dry.
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I.

Joey, honey - I got the money
All is forgiven. Listen, listen
And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you,
well I guess you scared me too.
But we got lucky once before
And I don't wanna close the door
And if you're somewhere out there
passed out on the floor.
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore.

<bridge>

and if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
and when you said I scared you,
well I guess you scared me too.
Well if its love you're looking for
Then i can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and
passed out on the floor.
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore.

Angry anymore..
Angry anymore..

Good lyrics.

Clyde McPhatter is one of my all time favorite vocalists.

The Treasure of Love

The treasure of love is easy to find
It's waiting for you if your heart isn't blind
The treasure of love is not very far
It glows like a fire and it shines like a star

It's stronger than diamonds
Worth more than gold
This is a treasure that never grows old
The treasure of love is found on no chart
To find where it is just look in your heart

It's stronger than diamonds
Worth more than gold
This is a treasure that never grows old
The treasure of love is found on no chart
To find where it is just look in your heart

William Bendix
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Born 14 January 1906
New York, New York, USA
Died 14 December 1964
Los Angeles, California, USA (lobar pneumonia)

William Bendix (January 14, 1906 - December 14, 1964) was an American film actor. As a young boy, he was a batboy for the New York Yankees.

Bendix was born in New York City, and made his film debut in 1942, having worked as a grocer until the Great Depression. He played in supporting roles in dozens of Hollywood films, usually as a soldier, gangster or detective. He started with appearances in film noir films including a memorable performance in The Glass Key, which also featured Brian Donlevy and Veronica Lake. He soon gained more attention after appearing in Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat as Gus, a wounded and dying American sailor. Bendix's other well-known movie roles include his portrayal of legendary baseball-player Babe Ruth in The Babe Ruth Story and Sir Sagramore opposite Bing Crosby in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949), in which he took part in the famous trio, "Busy Doing Nothing". He also played Nick the bartender in the 1948 film version of William Saroyan's The Time of Your Life. Bendix had also appeared in the stage version, but in the role of Officer Krupp (a role played on film by Broderick Crawford).

At the time, however, Bendix was probably best known for his radio work, starring as Chester A. Riley in the radio comedy series "The Life of Riley," from 1944 through 1951. The series is considered by some to be the first actual situation comedy. Bendix also played the title role in the second television version of the series, which ran from 1953 to 1958 (Jackie Gleason played Riley in a short-lived 1949 version). William Bendix is one of the most cherished actors in history of radio.

William Bendix died in Los Angeles from lobar pneumonia aged 58 and was interred there in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery. He was married to Theresa Stefanotti from 1927 until his death. They had two children together.

Guy Williams
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Guy Williams (born Armando Joseph Catalano) (January 14, 1924 - May 7, 1989) was an American actor and former male fashion model, who played swashbuckling action heroes in the 1950s and 1960s, but never quite achieved movie star status[1] despite his good looking hazel eyes, imposing appearance (6'3" height, 190 lb. weight) and charisma, which helped launch his early successful photographic model career.

His greatest achievements were the two memorable TV classics: Zorro (in black and white -- colorized years later by the Disney enterprise) and Lost in Space, characterizing the father of the Robinson family.



Early life

Born as Armando Catalano at the Fort George area in New York City, he was the son of Attilio (son of a wealthy timber grower in Messina who purchased a land in New Jersey), who was working as insurance broker, and Clare Catalano. His parents, who arrived from Sicily (Italy), were by then living in poverty. He grew up in the Little Italy, Brooklyn neighborhood. When he was seven, he began taking fencing lessons from his father, who was a professional in a tradition inherited from his Italian ancestors.

In NYC's P.S. 189, Armand stood out in mathematics. Later he attended George Washington High School, where he occasionally worked in its soda fountain. He then left to attend the Peeskill Military Academy, where he was an enthusiastic student. His interests included football and chess.


First artist steps

Williams wanted to be an actor, spurred by his good looks and 6'3" height. When Armand decided not to continue studying, his mother (who later became an executive of a foreign film company) was very disappointed because they expected that he continue the traditional insurance broker career.

After working as welder, cost accountant and aircraft-parts inspector during World War II, Armand became a salesman in the luggage department at Wanamakers. While there, he decided to send his photos to an agency to start his model career. He quickly found great success in graphic media. Spanning newspapers, billboards, magazines (like Harper's Bazaar) and book covers, he received good payment and became famous. He then adopted the name Guy Williams.

In 1946 he signed a single-year contract offered by MGM and moved to Hollywood. He only appeared in a few films and soon moved back to New York.

In 1948, to advertise cigarettes while skiing, Guy Williams did an extensive filming trip accompanied by Janice Cooper (beautiful Powers model). During the long photographic sessions they felt in love, marrying just after they returned to New York City (December 8). Several years later they had two children, Guy Steven Catalano (1953) and Toni Catalano (1956).

By 1950, Guy Williams had begun to film some of the pioneering television commercials in USA, so he became very popular. Unfortunately, his father died in 1951, never to witness his son's full rise to fame. Guy Williams then obtained a new one-year contract with Universal-International in 1952, and moved to Hollywood.


Early Hollywood (1952 to 1957)

Guy Williams did small supporting roles in the Universal productions, Including:

Bonzo Goes to College --- as Ronald Calkins,
The Mississippi Gambler --- as Andre,
The Golden Blade --- as Baghdad's town crier,
The Man from the Alamo --- as a sergeant,
Take Me to Town --- as a small hero
I Was A Teenage Werewolf--- as police officer
In 1953 Guy Williams suffered a serious accident when he fell from a horse and was dragged over 200 meters, resulting in a long scar on his left shoulder. Because of this, at some point he even returned to New York (acting and modeling there) and abandoning his career, but in 1953 he left the Universal and became a freelancer for movies produced by Allied Artist and Warner Brothers.


Zorro (1957 to 1959)

In 1957 the Disney enterprise carried out a casting for Disney's Zorro, a new television series based on the character (created by Johnston McCulley) already famous on the silver screen performed by Douglas Fairbanks and Tyrone Power.

To play Zorro, the chosen actor would have to be handsome and have some experience with fencing. Walt Disney himself interviewed Guy Williams, telling him (comically) to start growing a mustache "neither very long or thick". The exclusive contract paid Williams the then very high wage of $2,500 per week, as he had demanded. Williams resumed his professional training of fencing with the Belgian champion Fred Cavens (who also trained Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power), since the show used real epees without protection. He also took guitar lessons with the famous Vicente Gomez.

The series of half-hour episodes finally debuted on the American "ABC" network on October 10 (1957). It was an instant hit in the USA, attaining the highest rating of its era.

The show spanned 78 episodes (two seasons, from 1957 to 1959) and a movie edited from TV episodes: The Sign of Zorro (1958) with its theme-song (composed by Norman Foster and George Burns) reaching #17 of the Hit Parade, performed by The Chordettes.

The release of this series created an epidemic of "Z" graffitiing on school desks across America. Some examples of this can still be seen on desks from the time.

After the finishing of the contract with Disney enterprise, Guy Williams went to Europe to film two movies. Damon and Pythias (MGM production filmed in Italy in 1962, directed by Curtis Bernhardt), as Damon, classic Greek tale of Damon who offers his life as warrant of the word of Pythias, his friend who was condemned to death for political reasons. Captain Sindbad (MGM super production filmed in Germany in 1962, directed by the American adventures director Byron Haskin, based on the classic tale of the Arabian Nights), as Sindbad.


Bonanza (1964)

In 1964 Guy Williams returned to Hollywood to resume his career, being added to the cast of the NBC's smash-hit TV series Bonanza (1959-1973) as Mexican-born cousin Will Cartwright.

Williams found himself unexpectedly forced out of the series by circumstances after only 5 episodes despite being originally slated to become one of the four permanent leads. Pernell Roberts (Adam Cartwright), who had planned to leave the show at the end of that season while overlapping with Williams, who was essentially going to be Roberts' replacement in the four-Cartwright format, decided late in the season to stay for one more year before departing, so the woman Adam was originally going to marry wound up unexpectedly choosing to leave with Will Cartwright instead, with Adam's selfless blessing. Williams lost his berth on the popular series, which ran for nine more years, because of Roberts' decision to remain for one more season.


Lost in Space (1965 to 1968)

In 1965, Guy Williams returned to weekly television in the extremely popular CBS science-fiction children's series Lost In Space.

Guy Williams played Professor John Robinson, expert in astrophysics and geology, who commanded the mission of the Jupiter 2 spaceship, taking his family in a voyage to colonize the Alpha Centauri star system.

After the series Guy Williams decided to retire in order to better enjoy his wealth, which had been largely generated by investments in several businesses.


Retirement in Argentina (1973 to 1989)

In subsequent years, Guy Williams also brought to Argentina some of the original cast-members of the Zorro, including Henry Calvin -- the fat Sgt. Garcia. Williams even formed a circus (Circo Real Madrid), with the local fencing champion Fernando Lupiz, traveling all along South America (1977).

Later in 1989, while spending solitary months in Argentina, Guy Williams (65 years old) suddenly disappeared. The local police searched his apartment in La Recoleta on 29 of April, finding his dead body. He had suffered a brain aneurysm a week before that day. He was still wearing the characteristic Zorro's sideburns and mustache when they found him.

Following his wishes, Guy Williams' ashes were spread over the Pacific Ocean, at Malibu (California).


Homages

In 2000, Guy Williams was the first local celebrity in the Bronx Walk of Fame, of New York City.
In 2001, (August 2) Guy Williams was incorporated in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 7080 Hollywood Blvd (La Brea's corner), after massive petitions of thousands of manifesting admirers in front of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce (the previous year).
In 2002, (August 2) the family of Guy Williams dedicated to him a bench of the New York's Central Park.
In 2003, (August 2 --also--), Disney enterprise placed a commemorative badge in the mansion of the Mission San Luis Rey de Francia at Oceanside, California, where the Zorro series was filmed in 1957.
The impression of an US Postage Stamp commemorative of Guy Williams is canceled due to the change of the US Postal Service's protocol. Though the fans were in campaign for this since 1998.

Tom Tryon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Tom Tryon (January 14, 1926 - September 4, 1991) was an American film and television actor famous as the Walt Disney television character Texas John Slaughter (1958-1961), as well as author of several science fiction, horror, and mystery novels. He was born Thomas Tryon in Hartford, Connecticut. He is usually credited and listed as an author under his birth name. He is often misidentified as the son of silent screen actor Glen Tryon; his actual father was one Arthur Lane Tryon, a clothier whose lineage in Connecticut predates the Salem witch trials. He attended Yale.



Acting Career

Tryon's film roles were mostly in B-horror and science fiction films, most notably I Married a Monster From Outer Space (1958) and Moon Pilot (1962), and in westerns, especially Three Violent People (1956), with Charlton Heston, and Winchester '73 (1967). His best role, however, is considered by many to have been in the 1965 film, In Harm's Way, which is itself considered one of the best films set in the period of World War II. He also appeared, among many other stars, in The Longest Day, one of the central films of the World War 2 generation. Darryl F. Zanuck saved 20th Century Fox with it, after the disaster of Cleopatra.

In 1962, Tom Tryon was cast to play the role of Stephen Burkett ("Adam") in the unfinished Marilyn Monroe-Dean Martin comedy film, Something's Got to Give, directed by George Cukor, but lost that role after Monroe was fired from the movie. The part went to Chuck Connors when the film was finally completed as Move Over, Darling with Doris Day and James Garner. (Completed footage from the Monroe version has recently been released on video and DVD in the documentary Marilyn: The Final Days.) He was also considered but eventually passed over for the role of Janet Leigh's lover, Sam Loomis, in the classic thriller, Psycho. Television roles included the Texas John Slaughter series which ran on The Wonderful World of Disney in the 1950s (based on actual historical figure John Slaughter), guest appearances on The Virginian and The Big Valley, and a live television performance of The Fall of the House of Usher. He also co-wrote a song, "I Wish I Was," which appeared on an obscure record by Dick Kallman, star of the short-lived and now largely forgotten 1965 television sitcom, Hank.

Tryon was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1963 for his role in The Cardinal, but the honor barely compensated for the trauma and abuse he suffered at the hands of director Otto Preminger. At one point during filming, Preminger actually fired Tryon in front of his parents when they visited the set, then rehired him after being satisfied that Tryon had been sufficiently humiliated.


Writing Career

Disillusioned with acting, Tryon retired from the profession in 1969 and began writing horror, and mystery novels. He was, in his day, extremely successful, overcoming skepticism about a classically handsome movie star suddenly turning novelist. His most well-known work is The Other (1971), about a boy whose evil twin brother may or may not be responsible for a series of deaths in a small rural community in the 1930s. The novel was adapted as a film the following year, starring Diana Muldaur, Uta Hagen, and John Ritter. Harvest Home, about the dark pagan rituals being practiced in a small New England town, was adapted as The Dark Secret of Harvest Home, a television mini-series starring Bette Davis, in 1978. An extensive critical analysis of Tryon's horror novels can be found in S. T. Joshi's book The Modern Weird Tale (2001).

His other novels include Crowned Heads, a collection of novellas inspired by the legends of Hollywood. The first of these novellas, Fedora, about a reclusive former film actress whose relationship with her plastic surgeon is similar to that between a drug addict and her pusher, was later filmed by Billy Wilder. Though the film was only moderately successful, it is considered by many to be a minor classic of the thriller and horror genres. Another novella in the collection was based on the murder of former silent screen star Ramon Novarro. Lady, written in 1975, concerns the friendship between an eight-year-old and a charming widow in 1930s New England and the secret he discovers about her. Many consider this to be Tryon's best work. His 1989 novel Night of the Moonbow tells the story of a boy driven to violent means by the constant harassment he receives at a summer boys camp. Night Magic, written in 1991 and posthumously published in 1995, is currently slated for a screen adaptation.


Relationships

During the 1970s, Tryon was in a gay romantic relationship with Clive Clerk, one of the original cast members of A Chorus Line and an interior designer who decorated Tryon's Central Park West apartment, which was featured in Architectural Digest. Tryon was also involved with Cal Culver, better known as gay porn star Casey Donovan, while still maintaining his relationship with Clerk. Culver is credited with helping Tryon finish Crowned Heads on an extremely tight deadline by typing up the revisions and offering suggestions. Their relationship was short-lived, for while Tryon had no problem with Culver's porn career per se, the attention and publicity his lover received made the closeted Tryon fearful of being outed, which he felt could destroy his career as a popular writer. Tryon and Culver parted ways in the summer of 1977.

Tryon continued writing through the 1980s and 1990s, before dying at age 65 on September 4, 1991 from a metastasized stomach cancer which had originated in his spine.

In 1952 she married juggler Erik van Aro (Gerd Eric Horst Scholz). He recognized her talent and accompanied her in her initial years of worldwide success, although they later divorced. In 1953, she made her first recordings with Kurt Edelhagen. Soon afterwards she achieved great success with songs like "Malagueña", "The Breeze and I", and "Dreh dich nicht um" with the Werner Müller orchestra. In 1955 she was featured on the "Colgate Comedy Hour" with Gordon MacRae. In the mid-1960s, Caterina worked with the legendary Claus Ogerman and recorded material in both Italian and English that he arranged/conducted and/or composed on the Decca[1] and London[2] labels.

Jack Jones (singer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





Jack Jones (born John Allan Jones in January 14, 1938) is an American jazz and pop singer.

He was born in Hollywood, California as the only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey. He was one of the most popular vocalists of the 1960s. He was rated highly by Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland called him the best jazz singer in the world, although Jones was always a straight pop singer (even when he recorded contemporary matrial) and rarely ventured in the direction of jazz. Jones won two Grammy Awards. He performs concerts around the world and remains popular in Las Vegas.

Some of his best-known songs are "Impossible", "I Can't Believe I'm Losing You," "L.A. Break Down," "The Way That I Live," "Wives And Lovers" (Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Race Is On," "Lollipops And Roses(Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Impossible Dream", "Lady," "What I Did for Love", and "The Love Boat Theme". He recorded "Strangers in the Night" before Sinatra did.

Towards the end of the sixties, Jones moved from London Records (in the UK, Kapp Records in the U.S.), to RCA Records. Jones continued his success, as he continued to rack up hit albums. Jones stayed with RCA until the eighties, at which time he had changed his appearance from the smooth club entertainer of the 1960s' Las Vegas scene to the longhaired singer of the early seventies.

In 1979, he moved to MGM Records, recording the album "Nobody Does it Better", which featured disco tracks of "The Love Boat" theme and his Grammy winner, "Wives and Lovers". His second MGM album, "Don't Stop Now", featured duets with Maureen McGovern. It was Jones' last album with MGM. Since 1980, he has recorded only a handful of albums, and now performs in various concert arenas and occasionally appears on the supper-club circuit.

Jones has acted in such minor films as "The Comeback" and feature length British TV comedy, "Cruise of the Gods". In the latter, he starred alongside comedy writers/actors Steve Coogan, David Walliams and Rob Brydon.

Jones had a well-publicized relationship with actress Jill Saint John. Jones and Saint John were married briefly.

Faye Dunaway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Born January 14, 1941 (age 66)
Bascom, Florida, USA

Notable roles Bonnie Parker in Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
Vicki Anderson in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
Lady de Winter in The Three Musketeers (1973)
Evelyn Cross Mulwray in Chinatown (1974)
Laura Mars in Eyes of Laura Mars (1978)

Faye Dunaway (born January 14, 1941, in Bascom, Florida) is an Academy Award-winning American actress.

Christened Dorothy Faye Dunaway, the daughter of Grace, a homemaker, and John Dunaway, an Army sergeant (making Dunaway an "army brat"), she studied at the theater department of Boston University. She dropped the "Dorothy" when she began acting. Dunaway was a member of Pi Beta Phi fraternity for women.

She appeared on Broadway in 1962 as the daughter of Thomas More in A Man for All Seasons.

Her first screen role was in 1967 in Hurry Sundown, but that same year, she got the leading female role in Bonnie and Clyde (opposite Warren Beatty) which garnered her an Oscar nomination.

It was in the 1970s that she began to stretch her acting muscles in such films as Three Days of the Condor, Little Big Man, Chinatown, Eyes of Laura Mars, and Network, for which she won her Oscar as the scheming, almost inhumanly cold-blooded TV executive Diana Christensen.

In the 1980s, although her performances did not waver, the parts grew less compelling. Dunaway would later blame Mommie Dearest (1981) for ruining her career as a leading lady. "I was too good at Crawford," she was often quoted as saying.

She played an alcoholic in Barfly (opposite Mickey Rourke). In a later movie, Don Juan DeMarco (1995), Dunaway co-starred with Johnny Depp and the late Marlon Brando.

Romantically linked to a series of men ranging from the comedian Lenny Bruce to actor Marcello Mastroianni, Dunaway has been married twice. Her first husband, from 1974 until 1979, was Peter Wolf, the lead singer of the rock group the J. Geils Band. Her second, from 1984 until 1987, was Terry O'Neill, a celebrated British photographer; they had one child, Liam O'Neill (born 1980). In 2003, however, O'Neill revealed that his son with Dunaway was adopted, not biological, though the actress had long maintained the opposite.

Dunaway is a convert to Roman Catholicism.

She served as a judge on the 2005 reality show The Starlet, which sought, American Idol-style, to find the next young actress with the potential to become a major star. In 2006, Dunaway played a character named Lois O'Neill in the sixth season of the popular crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

In an angry February 27, 2006 voice mail message (which was widely circulated on the Internet) to the producer of a documentary of her life, Dunaway complained about the inclusion of an interview of her ex-husband O'Neill, who she called "a big, big liar" and "a man I will not even waste my time discussing" in her own interview for the film. She also insisted that references to "the Lloyd Webber stupidity" be taken out, referring to Dunaway's alleged 1994 firing from the Los Angeles production Sunset Boulevard (musical) by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. She also expressed anger that there was no mention that she'd worked with "the wonderful Marlon Brando", and that her film Arizona Dream (referred to as "the Kusturica film") which she "was brilliant in," was "not well sold in this country" despite that it was "the hit of all Europe and Cannes." She was unhappy that no mention was made in the documentary about her work in the 1993 drama or in Don Juan DeMarco, which also co-starred Johnny Depp. She also said she wanted to "really trim down everything to do with that Mommie Dearest (film). I'm not going to talk about it; maybe one thing I'm going to say about it and that's all."[1]

Dunaway has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard.

As a comedic actor

In 2004, Weathers received a significant career revival as a comedic actor. Since he had worked primarily as a dramatic actor in action films throughout the first half of his career, he began appearing in many works that were quite different from his past. Beginning in 2004 with appearances in several episodes of the cult hit comedy series Arrested Development as a cheapskate caricature of himself, Weathers began appearing in largely comedic roles. This series of guest spots led to him getting roles in the comedies The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang and The Comebacks. The Comebacks will be his first major role in a film since 1992's Hurricane Smith.

Teacher Job Description

After being interviewed by the school
administration, the eager teaching prospect said:
"Let me see if I've got this right. You want me to
go into that room with all those kids, and fill their
every waking moment with a love for learning.
And I'm supposed to instill a sense of pride in
their ethnicity, modify their disruptive behavior,
observe them for signs of abuse and even censor
their t-shirt messages and dress habits.
You want me to wage a war on drugs and
sexually transmitted diseases, check their
backpacks for weapons of mass destruction,
and raise their self-esteem.
You want me to teach them patriotism, good
citizenship, sportsmanship, fair play, how to
register to vote, how to balance a check-book,
and how to apply for a job. I am to check their
heads for lice, maintain a safe environment,
recognize signs of anti-social behavior, offer
advice, write letters of recommendation for
student employment and scholarships,
encourage respect for the cultural diversity of
others, and oh, make sure that I give the girls in
my class fifty percent of my attention.
My contract requires me to work on my own
time after school, evenings and weekends
grading papers.
Also, I must spend my summer vacation at my
own expense working toward advance
certification and a Masters degree.
And on my own time you want me to attend
committee and faculty meetings, PTA meetings,
and participate in staff development training.
I am to be a paragon of virtue, larger than life,
such that my very presence will awe my students
into being obedient and respectful of authority.
You want me to incorporate technology into the
learning experience, monitor web sites, and relate
personally with each student. That includes
deciding who might be potentially dangerous
and/or liable to commit a crime in school. I am
to make sure all students pass the mandatory
state exams, even those who don't come to
school regularly or complete any of their
assignments.
Plus, I am to make sure that all of the students
with handicaps get an equal education regardless
of the extent of their mental or physical handicap.
And I am to communicate regularly with the
parents by letter, telephone, newsletter and
report card.
All of this I am to do with just a piece of chalk, a
computer, a few books, a bulletin board, a
big smile AND on a starting salary that qualifies
my family for food stamps!
You want me to do all of this and yet you expect
me......
NOT TO PRAY?"

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

dj, and edgar, We appreciate the songs and the lyrics that you play on our little cyber radio. Unfortunately, they didn't lull me to sleep as I watched "Meet Joe Black". Fantastic sound track, folks, and although the movie was a bit long, it was a tear jerker, but satisfying in the respect that I now realize why I enjoy those songs. They were by the Gershwin brothers.

Marvelous ending for the morning, hawkman, and the teacher job description is perfect and were it not so true, I would laugh with all of us here. I skimmed your bios, Bob, and found them intriguing. I do hope that our Raggedy will be here today.

Caterina Valente's bio caught my eye as we have another song written by that famous Mexican. I was amazed to read that Valente sang in twelve different languages, folks. Let's listen to this one, shall we?



(Agustin Lara, Dorothy Dodd)
[Recorded May 23, 1961, Los Angeles]

Granada, I'm falling under your spell,
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would
tell.
Of an age the world has long forgotten,
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in Granada today.
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada.
For she can remember the splendor that once was Granada.
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wander
along,
Entranced by the beauty before me,
Entranced by a land full of flowers and song.
When day is done and the sun touch the sea in Granada,
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Tierra Novada,
Soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Carbinera.
Then moonlit Granada will live again,
The glory of yesterday, romantic and gay.
(musical interlude)
And soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Carbinera.
Then moonlit Granada will live again,
The glory of yesterday, romantic, gay Granada.

[And these are the Spanish lyrics as sung by Placido
Domingo:]

Granada tierra soniada por mi.
Mi cantarse vuelve hitana cuando es para ti.
Mi cantar hecho de fantasia.
Mi cantar flor de melancholia que yo te vengo adar.
Granada tierra ensangrentada de sangre de toros.
Mi bello conserva el embrujo de los ojos moros.
Resuello rebelde hita0no y lleno de flores, y beso tu boca de
grana,
Tu blanco manzana que habla de amores.
Granada manola hitana de coplas preciosas.
No tengo otra cosa que darte que un rama de rosas.
De rosas de suave fragancia que alleje amargo la virgen
morena.
Granada tu tierra esta llena de lindas mujeres de sangre del
sol..

Anticipating:

Blue Monday
How I hate Blue Monday
Got to work like
A slave all day

Here come Tuesday
Oh, hard Tuesday
I'm so tired
Got no time to play

Here come Wednesday
I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to
Tell her that I'm out
Cause Thursday is
A hard working day
And Friday, I get my pay

Saturday morning
Oh, Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play

Sunday morning
My head is bad
But it's worth it for
The time that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
Cause Monday is a mess

Saturday morning
Oh, Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play

Sunday morning
My head is bad
But it's worth it for
The time that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
Cause Monday is a mess

Fats Domino

Hey, edgar. Ah, Fats; one of the greats, Texas. Here's another type anticipation by Carley:


Song: Anticipation Lyrics

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasing after some finer day.

Anticipation, Anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting

And I tell you how easy it is to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me.
Bit I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinking about how right tonight might be.

Anticipation, Anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting

And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet, I don't know natures way
So I'll try to see into your eyes right now
And stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days.

and speaking of "weather's way", what weird weather the U.S. is experiencing, folks. That huge snow storm in the midwest has killed several people. Hope all of our listeners are well.

Here, the weather will be in the lower 70's for the rest of the week.

The big freeze is almost upon us here. Tuesday starts out below 32 degrees and stays that way all day.

Yuk, and Mucky Pup has this to say about the big freeze, Texas:

-

Do you know hurt? really know?
Cause I see him when I wake, and he's waiting there for me
Crushing down, I'm freezing-
Deeper in a hole everyday
Cause the mountains just too big

Through and through, it's loud and hard
Through and through, takes no days off and no holidays
I've done my all and come up against my final last wall
Can't you see in these eyes?

From the long long winter of the big freeze, you felt it
Tell me you felt it- tell me I'm not alone, please
Please I'm not alone
Cause it's the big freeze, a different kind of cold
Cause it's the big freeze, a different kind of cold

"Everyone talks about the weater, but no one does anything about it." It's not clear whether Mark Twain originally said that or his friend, Charles Warner.

A Stevie Wonder kind of forecast:

Passionate Raindrops

The day's been hot and sunny
Evening's about to take control
The sky is painting pictures
Stirring up love bliss in our souls
The breeze carries the fragrance
Of the sweetest symphony as it blows through your hair
Better can be nowhere

Our voices turn to whispers
Blending with rhythms of the night
The nightingales sing a love song
Glancing down at us in their flight
The moisture brings forth magic
That permeates the midnight air
To kiss the love we share, are

Raindrops, passionate raindrops
The kind of rain that writes they're
So in love on our skin
Raindrops, that we hope wont stop
Cooling the red hot love that we are making

Raindrops, passionate raindrops
That brings out all the fire that we have within
Raindrops cover every spot
Right to the last drop
We want all of you and then
Let each drop a rain be a lifetime that our love won't end

Somewhere in our doing
Trying to make our bodies one
We fall prey to moon dreams
Till awaken by the morning sun
Still disorientated
I feel something warm on my face
Coupled by your embrace
We gaze in awe and wonder
As if we can't believe it's so
Just that taste of heaven
Has got us longing for much more
We lie there impatient
Anxiously waiting foe the sun to go in
And the clouds to burst again, to give us

Raindrops, passionate raindrops
The kind of rain that writes they're
So in love on our skin
Raindrops, that we hope wont stop
Cooling the red hot love that we are making

Raindrops, passionate raindrops
That brings out all the fire that we have within
Raindrops cover every spot
Right to the last drop
We want all of you and then
Let each drop a rain be a lifetime that our love won't end
