The pulpit will -- warily and cautiously -- object... at first. The great, big, dull bulk of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes and try to make out why there should be a war, and will say, earnestly and indignantly, "It is unjust and dishonorable, and there is no necessity for it." Then the handful will shout louder. A few fair men on the other side will argue and reason against the war with speech and pen, and at first will have a hearing and be applauded, but it will not last long; those others will outshout them, and presently the antiwar audiences will thin out and lose popularity. Before long, you will see this curious thing: the speakers stoned from the platform, and free speech strangled by hordes of furious men....Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception. - - Mark Twain, "Victory of the Loud Little Handful" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2002 00:38:53 -0000 From: "William" Subject: Those songs you really just ***love*** to karaoke to Over The Rainbow Evergreen Moon River I wish Joni had done those on BSN - just for me ye ken.

A friend wrote Hi ya, Actually, Angela Cartwright did "Sound of Music" before "Lost in Space" (the latter was '65 and I'm fairly sure the movie was circa '63-4, if not earlier). Angela was best known for the Danny Thomas show, though, as she played his daughter. (I love asking people the connection between "Sound of Music" and "Alien"; Angela and Veronica Cartwright are sisters). [Patrick Leader] I'm pretty sure this is wrong, because we saw Sound of Music right away (we always did with the big musicals) and I already knew her, try this schedule, I'm guessing. 1965, My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins come out. Audrey Hepburn gets Julie's B'way role (a great unfairness) but Julie snags the Oscar. Lost in Space premieres, in black and white 1966 Sound of Music June Lockhart stories A couple of years ago my sister volunteered to help with an AIDS celebrity auction in SF. June Lockhart was one of the people solicited and she sent back a scrapbook of LIS stills, with handwritten comments. She clearly had put a lot of work into it, and humor. One picture showed her being menaced by a monster, she wrote in the margin "Notice the zipper on the beast's back" BTW, Lost in Space was definitely low budget camp by the last year. My sister was going to put in a bid, she knows what a fan I am. This summer I started waking up to NPR in the morning, which I really love. When it was HAL's birthday, they did a lot about the original lab where they were working on Artificial Intelligence and computer generated voices. They played the original tape of a computer that sang "Daisy, Daisy"; Arthur C. Clarke had visited this lab doing research for 2001. Can't read that in the paper. But I digress. Last summer during the height of the Pathfinder excitement, they played a tape of a news conference and one of the guys said "Listen who's asking that question in the back, it's America's favorite mom! June Lockhart. Then to complete the story they had called her up and interviewed her. Turns out she's been an aviation and space fanatic since the 40's. She' one of those people who goes to as many launches and NASA news conferences as she can. She says a lot of the guys say that she is one of the people who inspired them to go into the field (which is kind of funny if you think about it.) Boy, did that day start right for me. the goddard story (I didn't like him much, too angry) was he picked up a girl who was out with three girlfriends , one of whom is a friend of mine. all five went to one of the girls' house, where Goddard passed out and slept in the middle of the floor while the girls sat around him and talked. that's the tale, no biggy, but it's a brush with greatness i guess. Patrick Continuing my friend's post, cause it cracks me up. As for realizing you're gay longing for Billy Mumy, I had that exact same experience!!! funny how we know before we know, isn't it? Of course, my other gay friends say that they knew when they were inspecting Robin's basket on the BATMAN show -- give me Billy anyday, especially now 8').

I wanted June Lockhart to be my real mom, and I even told kids at school she was! Whatever happened to her? I musta been really queer even then. I was 6 or 7 and I had the hots for Guy Williams( did he wear an endowment pad or something? Did you notice?) and the other guy -- NOT Dr Smith. His last name was Goddard or something like that. By the way, I think that Dr Smith was played as a horrible catty, bitchy queen stereotype. The actor was great, though. Wallyburger - ----- jerry notaro Fri 10/10/97 8:41 AM My, my, we will have stories to swap! 1. When the Toronto production of Hair opened, which ran for 2 years, the cast members called themselves the Missasuaga Tribe, after a small suburban area of the city. An older friend of mine from Buffalo was in the cast for a while. Their tribe mother was June Lockart, whom they say was VERY hip. She did grow up in Hollywood so she was no prude. She has been getting a lot of publicity lately because of the new Lost In Space. 2. A friend of mine that I did Robber Bridegroom with in Chicago (great show, BTW) did a low budget movie with Adam West a few years back. He said that Robin was so well endowed that they made him strap it down after the first few episodes because his basket was getting so much attention.

I have a video > given to me by my neice and she sings that one on it. Never have I seen > such a performance. And this wasn't a studio but a live audience > performance. Not a missed note. Don't know the particular venue. This was probably from 'The Judy Garland Show', her ill-fated variety show that CBS gave the kiss of death by airing it opposite 'Bonanza' on Sunday nights. She also did the most amazing rendition of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. She wanted to dedicate it to him but the brass at the network wouldn't let her. Kennedy used to call Judy when he was president and ask her to sing 'Over the Rainbow' to him over the phone. 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' has to be heard (or better still, seen and heard) to be believed. The woman looks and sounds like she's going to explode - it is so passionate, powerful and intense. 'The Man That Got Away' would have made my list if I'd continued with it. The Carnegie Hall rendition is magnificent but the version that's in 'A Star Is Born' is absolutely amazing as well. Judy was one of a kind and there will never be another like her.

Suppose it is kind of like the election results thus far, especially here in Texas. Why would anyone watch Bonanza when they could be watching Judy Garland? So disheartening. The dark ages continue in Texas. Mack ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 23:34:05 -0500 From: "Bree Mcdonough" Subject: Saxby Chambliss WINS!!

I'm sitting in my suite waiting for my limo to arrive. My private chauffeur, Neilson, just called to say he was late, which is of course worth a complaint. A few days ago I was even asked to ride in his old bucket of a car - IMNO very degrading for someone of my status! If this continues, I might have to refuse to perform at the next open mic! Tonight's destination was supposedly the great martini-drinker, Paz's, house, where the three-course menu read: beer, pizza and cocktail. It doesn't look like it's going to happen, though, and I'll have to content with "Nutri- Grains". I just switched to strawberry flavor for the variation... Paz just called me this morning to ask how my head was doing after the party that we attended last night. Seriously, darl' Mikey, I am from Denmark! (This reminds me of a couple of days ago where I made a New Orleanian believe I was from Benmark next to Sweden!). We finished the night by going to hear Beth Patterson play and we later joined her on "Off Night Backstreet" and "You Turn Me On". It was a big succes...our driver showed to be a great fan. Just to rub it in for Paz as *I* got to see Counting Crows doing BYT at saturday's Voodoo Festival...it was fecking fantastic!!! Drown your sorrow in those martinis if you can! If I get this on a recording, I'll of course have to first give a copy to the lord of covers, Muller, and you can try and see if he'll make one for you. I might tell him not to, since y'all have stood me up tonight! Your Danish (for as long as it lasts), Christina ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2002 05:58:21 +0100 From: Christoffer Gudi Sommer-Gleerup Subject: correction...
