I wonder if it s been made into a musical?

[TCB]

My PBS station is showing a movie called SOLDIER IN THE RAIN with Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen.  I don't think I have ever heard of it before.

The movie was apparently released five days after President Kennedy was assassinated.  That could be why I never heard of it.

they are playing  Bridge Over Troublesd Water and the accompanying video is  clips of  JFK, RFK , MLK

Maybe you and BK and I should work on that.  Or perhaps Paul Simon would be interested.

I expect that being a child of the 60's  molded  my political outlook

Is there a lot of concert footage?

A very young child of the 60's.

I always thought I was born in the Eisenhower era.  It was only about ten years ago that I realized that I was actually born in the Truman era.

I clearly remember  JFK's death when I was in 1st grade, and RFK, MLK I guess I was in 5th or 6th -  Watergate was my junior year of high school  - and NIxon resigned  a couple of weeks before I started my senior year of high school -

DR Jane, have you seen the movie THE BIG YEAR?   

[vixmom]

Vietnam was going on for basically all my life until then...........

Okay okay!  You win.

   no its all footage of the political events of the time that apparently inspired the songs

And what year did you graduate from high school?

Sounds like a good show.

LOL -- Simon and Garfunkle taking me back to my childhood -- got me reminiscing about the bad old days

1975

The boys in my class were the first ones that were safe from the draft

[vixmom]

Instead of  the glass cases in the high school lobby holding trophies they held pictures of the dead alumni

I went to ARGO tonight.   The hostages were taken in Iran during the fall of my freshman year in college. At the time I had a friend from Iran and the director of our dorm was from Iran.  It was a very strange time.  Lots of apathy.

[TCB]

It really angers me that the family of one of the children who survived Sandy Hook is suing for 100 million dollars.  The child was naturally affected by the shooting, but one hundred million??

[vixmom]

The Vixter graduated from the same high school  -  but now the  cases hold pictures from the theatre events and art class projects

much to my relief

[Cillaliz]

I loved ARGO, btw.  Even knowing how it turned out, I was really caught up in the suspense.  Near the end of the film a guy behind me let out a big sigh like he had been holding his breath for at least 5 minutes

 I had not heard about this - and who are they suing?

Very true.  Did they ever solve that case about the young friend of the vixter's who was murdered?

I believe they said the school district for not offering enough protection for the children.

OH I see

This is one of the movies I would like to see

I am glad to hear that you liked it (and that the man behind you took a breath).  I guess I will see it.

no -   or if it was it was not publicized -   we do not see his family very often any more as his mother now lives in another town

Somebody wake up Ginny and tell her that Michigan State finally scored.
