The Longest Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvZCDfhoNxA

Really odd to see a color film of that.

On June 6, 1944, the D-Day invasion of Europe took place during World War II as Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France.

On June 6, 1875, Thomas Mann, the Nobel Prize-winning German author, was born.


On this date in:


1844 The Young Men's Christian Association was founded in London.


1925 Walter Percy Chrysler founded the Chrysler Corp.


1933 The first drive-in movie theater opened, in Camden County, N.J.


1934 The Securities and Exchange Commission was established.


1966 Black activist James Meredith was shot and wounded as he walked along a Mississippi highway to encourage black voter registration.


1968 Sen. Robert F. Kennedy died at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, a day after he was shot by Sirhan Bishara Sirhan.


1978 California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, a ballot measure calling for major cuts in property taxes.


1982 Israeli forces invaded Lebanon to drive PLO fighters out of the country.


1985 Authorities in Brazil exhumed a body later identified as that of Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who conducted medical experiments on inmates at Auschwitz during World War II.


1990 The 2 Live Crew album "As Nasty As They Wanna Be" was ruled obscene by a federal judge in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.


2001 Democrats assumed control of the U.S. Senate when Sen. James Jeffords of Vermont left the Republican Party to become an independent.


2004 Phylicia Rashad became the first African-American actress to win a Tony for a leading dramatic role for her work in a revival of "A Raisin in the Sun."


2005 The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that people who smoke marijuana because their doctors recommend it to ease pain can be prosecuted for violating federal drug laws.


2007 Bob Barker ended his 35-year run as host of the CBS game show "The Price Is Right."

That was deemed rare footage, edgar.

Langston Hughes (one of my favorite poets)

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

I still have a paperback book of Raisin in the Sun. Can't recall how many years ago I got it. Interesting characters.

I gots Salt of the Earth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLsQ2CJQU8U&feature=related

Don't know Salt of the Earth, edgar, but you sent me on another trip to the archives, and I found this:

"This song is total cynicism. I'm saying those people haven't any power and they never will have." (speaking of the hard working people)

Mick Jagger!

Hey, where's Barry the Brit. Last time I saw him he was petting some pied elephant.

From the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, y'all.


"He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.

He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all."

The elephant.

Great, edgar. The Seven Dwarfs playing and yodeling.

Well, if you insist, Texas. Here's Dumbo in German.

I love that Freight Train song, edgar. I heard it by another group, but cannot recall who at the moment. The ending lyrics go something like this:

When I die please bury me deep, down at the end of Fleenor Street(sp) so I can hear old number nine as it goes on down the line.

From Kelly's Heroes:

I like that treatment of the song, letty.
Now an up tempo oldie

For some reason, edgar, my daughter used to call me Clyde. Love that Lover Please by him.

Here's an answer from Fran Warren. Don't remember her at all and don't know if she's still alive.

I don't know here either, letty, but I like her song. Here's a guy I know - Billy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDr41L8pQ5M&feature=related

Ah, I enjoy hearing Billy Eckstine, edgar. Remember when I sent you an apology song by him after making that funny about the fruit cake? Thanks, buddy.

Don't know this lady either, but today is her birthday, so here is a song by Sandra.

That one is okay too. Don't know her either.
Just learned I will be a grandfather again. Hope I don't turn out like this guy

Congratulations, edgar. Love I'm My Own Grandpa. Tried to find Fuedin afussin and a fightin. Remember that? Grandma, poor old grandma, why they have to shoot poor old grandma. She lies neath the clover, someone found her bendin over pickin up a dasisy.

How about some James Taylor now, y'all. Here he is with Yo Yo Ma.

James and Yo done a fine job, letty.

Oh my Gawd, edgar, That's from The Park Avenue Hillbilly. I recall her from sooooo long ago in Richmond, Va. I don't think I heard that one by her, however. More than likely it was Jo Stafford.

Well, she lived in Jacksonville, Florida and so does this birthday boy.

Oops, Texas, we missed Iz's ballet boy. Bet she's asleep as we speak
