0.5/i believed something that wasn't true - an example
1/in midapril spouse and self attended a concert in annapolis - songs written by burt bacharach - the tour titled "what the world needs now..."
2/reading more about the composer i learned that his collaboration with his long-time lyricist fell apart as a consequence of disagreements they had while writing songs for a 1973 remake of the 1937 film lost horizon
3/although my local library does not have the remake, it does have the approximately-fully-restored original film, which i once again checked out and watched with missus charley - i find it touching, although slightly ridiculous in its eurocentrism - which the main character in fact does remark on in the dialogue
3.2/there is a half-hour youtube video of the songs of the 1973 version which i just discovered while writing this comment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCzexIaQZpY
4/as we watched the film again, i once again remarked, as i had the last time we saw this film together earlier in the 21st century, that the female lead - jane wyatt - was ronald reagan's first wife - missus charley, who grew up in a place and time different from myself, knew of her as the wife and mother from long-running tv show father knows best - she asked to know more about jane's marriage to reagan - dates, any children, etc
5/and in looking this up i found that i had been mistaken for decades - it was jane wyman, not jane wyatt, who was reagan's first wife
6/during the twentieth century, in the capacious library of the state university of new york at buffalo, i would browse through the stacks - i came across an 1874 book Everybody’s Friend, Or; Josh Billing’s Encyclopedia and Proverbial Philosophy of Wit and Humor one section is titled Affurisms: Sollum Thoughts, where i read on page 286
I honestly beleave it iz better tew know nothing than two know what ain’t so.
7/one could find a link to the lyrics, or a youtube track, of todd rundgren's 1985 song lost horizon - todd was the headlining vocalist in the bacharach tribute tour - that song includes the phrase "things as they might have been"
What does it say about [fill in your favorite aspect of the slugging-rats-in-the-gutter, all-pervasive Pathos of human living, here] when you find yourself remembering oh yeah, it's gonna be anniversary / high holy day on someone else's blog that doesn't have a fucking thing to do with you ?
Anyway, all good things to you and yours. "I'm not yelling at you," as Bill Burr says. "I'm just yelling".

ReplyDeleteAnyway, all good things to you and yours. "I'm not yelling at you," as Bill Burr says. "I'm just yelling".
I can add that the 1973 version of the Lost Horizon film currently is available for your viewing and/or yelling pleasure on YouTube
