The bummer about last night was that at the end of the concert, they announced to the crowd that the fireworks presentation was cancelled because of the rain and an approaching thunderstorm.  So my neighbor lady and I strolled home.  While I was taking a nice hot shower at home, I heard what I thought was thunder.  When I came out and checked out the TV, I saw that the city had decided to run the fireworks anyway--twenty minutes after the crowd had completely left the Parkway!  What lunkhead made this decision is what I want to know!

Good morning to all you wonderful HHW-ers!
I, too, must head out for work soon, but, it's been an interesting little work week with three long days, followed by a day off, followed by two shorter days; but enough about me!

Al Gore's son has obviously gone green.
Was it a man-prius he was carrying?

Where to begin?

Let's just say it's a shame they didn't cancel last night's Capitol Fourth concert in DC.

During the opening, I was shocked to learn that Tony Danza had a large melanoma on his cheek - on closer inspection it seems it was one of those darling little cheek mikes.

Our National Anthem has destroyed many a singer - Hayden Panettiere is now no exception.

Elliott Yamin was given a new smile, a fright wig from a Three Stooges' movie and the worst arrangement of America the Beautiful ever heard.

Erich Kunzel did an orchestral ad-lib to salute our servicemen; he was so impressed with his improvisation that he continued it through half of Danza's opening remarks.

Yolanda Adams was resplendent in a gorgeous blue satin gown, adorned with gobs of diamonds, and absurdly accessorized with a clunky sports' wrist watch with a bulky leather strap! She also choose to "accessorize "God Bless America" by adding some class to Berlin's lyrics -it is a much more polite version: "Please, God Bless America".

If you're going to costume Bebe Neuwirth for a Chicago/Cabaret number, why go with Virgin White, of course.

Unhappy with Bebe's version of Cabaret (who wasn't) interrupt it with the start of the fire works! At least Kunzel waited till after Krystal Nacht before starting the 1812 Overture.

America would have been better served if the tornados had struck and taken us all to OZ.

Exclusive: U.K. Terror Plot -- Why the Bombs Failed
The London bomb plot allegedly planned by a cell of doctors failed early last Friday morning because a medical syringe used as part of the firing mechanism caused a malfunction, ABC News has learned.

According to nonclassified documents reviewed by ABC News, and confirmed by multiple sources, both mobile telephones initiated firing mechanisms rigged inside a Mercedes E 300 parked several yards from the front door of Tiger Tiger nightclub failed despite multiple calls to the cell phones designed to remotely trigger the devices.

Good Show - let's make sure the terrorists know where they went wrong so they don't make the same mistake next time!

Good morning, all.  I was reading more of Ruth Gordon's autobio MY SIDE and got to her father's death. Like my father, he  was a sailor, and he wanted her to become a physical education teacher.  Like me, she went into the performing arts, and like my dad, he supported her decision, perhaps more kindly than my dad originally did, but I believe both fathers lived long enough to appreciate their offsprings' accomplishments.  Also, today is the anniversary of last year's exposure of the Macbeths ill will and resentment, so I'm a bit down today.  I'm listening to Anthony Warlow sing "Moon River" as I type this and feeling rather melancholy.

I have to stop by the office again this morning to confirm it's secure, and then I return here  to work on Mr Spirtas' charts.

TOD:
    General songs:
        Dream Dancing
        Pretty Things
        I've Got You Under My Skin
        In the Still of the Night
        Down in the Depths (of the 90th Floor)
     Fifty Millioin Frenchmen
        You Do Something to Me
        The Boyfriend Back Home
        You've Got That Thing
         You Don't Know Paree
     Anything Goes
         Anything Goes
         I Get A Kick Out of You
         Where Are the Men?
     Nymph Errant
         Experiment
         The Physician
      Jubilee
          Why Shouldn't I?
          Begin the Beguine
          Just One of Those Things
          Six Little Wives
      DuBarry Was A Lady
          Give Him the Oo-la-la!
           Friendship
           Well, Did You Evah!
           But in the Morning, No
      Kiss Me, Kate
           The whole score
      Out Of This World
            Use Your Imagination
            Where? Oh Where?
            I Sleep Easier Now
            Nobody's Chasing Me
            What Do You Think About Men?
      Can-Can
            Never Give Anything Away (That You Can sell)

Good morning. DR Sandra and I woke up early this morning, but not early enough. We drove up to Fountain Hills to see the bats and nighthawks flying around. But by the time we got there, it was too light.

Good morning!

I was cool ENOUGH to open things up and cool down the houose again, but it won't get VERY cool, and the A/C will be back on by noon. Otherwise, a hot day today - 91 for a high.

"From This Moment On"

"At Long Last Love"

"It's De-Lovely"

I think the Cult Classics boxes are wonderful values. The transfers are very good, and most of the films aren't those that would have ever gotten an individual release.

My only quibble is that I wish Warners had used slim cases instead of regulation Amray cases. These take up FAR too much room if one has bought all four sets.

I do hope to get to THE PRODIGAL today. Sounds like fun. Also will be finishing DANTE'S COVE's first disc.

Today at noon, HBO-HD is showing A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION again (also on at 8 p.m. tonight), so by the end of the day I will have seen this film. Right now, I'm planning on watching the recorded version tonight.

'Unchained Melody' Writer Hy Zaret Dies
Posted: 2007-07-03 12:36:14

WESTPORT, Conn. (July 3) - Lyricist Hy Zaret, who wrote the haunting words to "Unchained Melody," one of the most frequently recorded songs of the 20th century, has died at age 99.

Zaret died at his home Monday, about a month shy of his 100th birthday, his son, Robert Zaret, said Tuesday.

He penned words to many songs and advertising jingles but his biggest hit was "Unchained Melody," written in 1955 for a film called "Unchained." It brought Zaret and Alex North, the composer, an Academy Award nomination for best song.

Zaret refused the producer's request to work the word "unchained" into the lyrics, instead writing to express the feelings of a lover who has "hungered for your touch a long, lonely time."

The song was recorded by artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, Lena Horne, U2, Guy Lombardo, Vito & the Salutations and Joni Mitchell, who incorporated fragments into her song "Chinese Cafe/Unchained Melody."

An instrumental version was a No. 1 hit in 1955 for Les Baxter, while a vocal version by Al Hibbler reached No. 3 the same year.

But most baby boomers remember the song from the Righteous Brothers' version. The record, produced by Phil Spector, reached No. 4 on the Billboard chart in 1965, and was a hit again 25 years later when it was used on the soundtrack of the film "Ghost."

In all, it was recorded more than 300 times, according to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, which listed it in 1999 as one of the 25 most-performed musical works of the 20th century.

I know some of you are really looking forward to BIG BROTHER's premiere tonight. As I have done in the past, I won't be watching, but I'll be following along with the activities here and on other forums.

I read that CBS is showing the late night activities on the Showtime Too channel. I get that, and I might set the DVR to pick up one of those and see what's happening on it since it's supposed to be uncensored and unedited. We'll see.

Another vote for the original TOPPER. Can this be found uncolorized now? The last time I stumbled over it on a cable channel, it was the colorized version. I assume TCM shows the original b&w version when it shows the film.
