And the word of the day is: YARELY!

Wasn't that the brand of makeup Twiggy wore in the 60's?

Tuesday morning greetings! Today I get to return to my own life and attend a philanthropy program with my Dayton/Springfield colleagues. I was originally scheduled to attend this program yesterday in Cincinnati, but was able to reschedule to today's Dayton session when it became clear that we'd still be involved with family stuff yesterday.

DR JRand - I hope Esther never goes to see JERSEY BOYS.

And why not a Page Two Twiggy Dance?:

Twiggy looks positively zaftig compared to some of the actresses and models these days.

TOD:

Movies:
HAROLD AND MAUDE
THE STRAWBERRY STATEMENT
ALICE'S RESTAURANT
WOODSTOCK

I can't quite include HAIR in a list of Flower Power movies because it's actually a period piece, though I think it does a good job at recreating the 60's.

Songs:
Jennifer Juniper -- Donovan
Feelin' Groovy -- Simon and Garfunkel
Both Sides Now -- Judy Collins
A Beautiful Morning -- The Rascals
Morning Has Broken -- Cat Stevens

I had never seen HAIR the original stage musical but I was in love with the score by the time the movie came out in '79. While I liked a lot of it, I found stitching it to a literal story kind of weighed it down. And the satirical bits were pretty heavyhanded. I spent a lot of the time watching the movie looking for my friends who were extras in the opening and Be-In scenes (they don't show up.)

When the movie began playing on cable, I watched it incessantly. I was obsessed with it. I wanted to be a hippie. But like any other obsession, it eventually wore off after a while...

I didn't get a chance to see the recent B'way revival, but the tour is coming to Philly this year (it's also back on B'way this summer, so who knows?)

With regard to yesterday's posts:

JR, you should write your own letter to the Editor.

Jose, if I'm up to 2008, I'm doing incredibly well by my standards. I had assumed I was still mired in the mid 20th century.

Listening to Les Baxter's MARCO POLO whilst trying to rid my mind of Maury Laws' MARCO.

Brasil '66 does a really fine version of Easy to be Hard with weird clusters on the Rhodes and an absolutely haunting minor 9th voicing for the male voices.

JMK · « **Reply #40 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:02:40 AM »

Weird Clusters on the Rhodes really should be the title of somebody's next something.

DakotaCelt, my brother-in-law is from Minot. Do you know the Kocoureks?

Oooh. . .anyone can respond (anonymously) to Ms. Lints via the website. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, say n'more.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:07:45 AM »

Thanks for all of the suggestions RE:the letter to the editor.

Our director, Shelly, has already sent a response which Eric the Editor will probably publish....we shall see.

Anyone who works in theatre knows the kind of person she is and has had to deal with it.....or ignore it.

With my luck, I'd end up with the audio book of the real Book of Mormon.

Which is correctly pronounced Marmon, BTW.

I am NOT anonymous in the community, but I thought about it!

Good morning. It's a pretty morning right now-- one caneven have the doors and windows open for another 10 minutes or so. However, because it is the only nice time of the day, the roofers, wielders of leafblowers, yardmen, and carpenters are all out in full force.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #50 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:09:50 AM »

I do keep checking to see if there are any comments.

Reviewed a really interesting 2008 (hmmm. . .) film yesterday which WWII film lovers will like: MAX MANUS, MAN OF WAR. Most expensive Norwegian film yet made, impeccably done, about a real life Norwegian resistance fighter. Absolutely gorgeous despite being occasionally bloody and a fascinating character study.

FJL · « **Reply #53 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:15:59 AM »

Marman said there'd be days like this ?

Its Amazon Sales Ranking has skyrocketed since my review went live yesterday afternoon and that makes me very happy.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #55 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:16:31 AM »

2008? Were they making movies way back then?

Marman Told Me Not Come.

(Which would not be any Marman--male or female--whom I've personally known).

JMK · « **Reply #58 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:17:42 AM »

And, yes, that's at the very least a double entendre.

In the Hilarious But True Department, our new tenants called yesterday from California where they live to discuss a couple of things and it came up that they were in Ventura so that the husband could go to a Rush concert whilst the wife shopped in Santa Barbara. I mentioned that I had reviewed the recent Rush audio Blu-ray of Moving Pictures and I then got a long, accolade filled email from the husband, who had actually read my review some time ago. Though he's more or less my age, he is such a Rush fan that he told me he can play the entire album of Moving Pictures "note for note," which strikes me as funny.
