Friday Music Thread – Favorite Films and Film Music

Orcas, thanks. Is that Gus McCrae or Sam Elliot?

Oh, great AdLib. Now I’m going to be forced to watch Duck Soup. 🙄

Green Onions–American Graffiti. Cool slide show.

Thought I fixed it. Sheesh.

May I play?

There. Fixed. I think.

The Kochroaches Emerge from the Woodwork

Dey!! It took me moment for that to sink in. Hilarious.

I hear you, KQ.

I tend to agree with you, dey. And the message WI voters sent is what? “We’re mad and stupid so we’re staying home on election day?”
(Not that I think all WI people are stupid, any more than I think all TX people are stupid.)

Dang, KQuark. You’re totally going to hate my Progressives United post. 🙄

I know many of you get these in your inbox, but in case you don’t here’s an urgent message from Russ Feingold. Not necessarily asking for money (but who EVER turns it down), Progressives United is asking for signatures.

Forgive the length:

“Governor Walker claims that his controversial proposal is simply about the budget. But it’s not: it’s a political bait-and-switch designed to destroy the fundamental rights of Wisconsin’s workers.

And in the last two weeks, it’s become clear that Governor Walker isn’t doing his job to represent my state of Wisconsin. Instead, he’s trying to make a national name for himself by pushing the same agenda shared by corporate interests like the Koch brothers – the billionaire captains of industry who just recently opened a lobbying office across the street from the Capitol in Madison.

The Kochs not only spent tens of thousands of dollars supporting Walker’s campaign, but they also funneled millions of dollars through front groups to fund attack ads. And now, just as the people of Wisconsin are working together to stand up to them, the Kochs and other front groups are trying to simply buy the result they want, showering the state with pro-Walker, anti-Obama TV ads.

Enough is enough. It’s time we unite as progressives and stand up to the corporate interests trying to dominate our democracy. Members of Progressives United are calling on Governor Walker to take a step back and end his attempt to strip the rights of Wisconsin’s workers. Click here to join us.”

Now, back to work before I catch me at the Planet (again!) and fire myself.

What Is Love?

We’ll always have Paris.

Ahhhh, Harry. Thanks, Killgore.

» Posted By chasethis On February 21, 2011 @ 9:21 pm

Indeed, Kalima.

» Posted By chasethis On February 21, 2011 @ 9:12 pm

Goodnight, all. And would you all join me to encourage Wolf to post here on a regular basis? How many thumbs up have you got?

» Posted By chasethis On February 21, 2011 @ 9:11 pm

KillgoreTrout–but well worth the effort.

Good joke, PW!

God god almighty damn. You have chosen for a topic “What Is Love?”

Legions of poets have come before and you chose “What Is Love?” That said, you have done an admirable job of addressing love in all its many incarnations.

For me, love is what is it. Love is what we do. It’s the feelings we express. I love the Wolf Larson, even though I don’t know him. I love my children, regardless of their shortcomings. I love my husband, as much as I’d like to kill him.

Love is something that flows from me like tears, sweat and blood. (Not necessarily in that order.)

Wolf, this is a perfect forum for you.

Invite For Collaboration Part 2:

jkkFL–PROOFERS UNITE! There can never be too many eyes on the written word.

Thanks, Truth. chasethistoo@yahoo.com.

How’d you know that? Hume was a wonderful, loyal, contentious friend of mine. And I of his. We only had one spat and while we didn’t always agree, at the end of the day, he always played me music. He’s one of my favorite, most positive HP memories.

» Posted By chasethis On February 20, 2011 @ 9:18 pm

Cher, is there a way you and Truth could incorporate your many fine links into the original post so they don’t get buried in the comments?

» Posted By chasethis On February 20, 2011 @ 3:37 pm

Truth, you and deygirl are frighteningly ambitious. With Cher’s (and others, I’m sure) awesome research powers, you folks could be downright dangerous. In a good way, of course.

I’m a very good proofreader and I don’t trust Spellcheck. If there’s some way I can help in that vein, let me know.

Wisconsin, what does it really mean?

cyrano and haruko, I am in awe of your skills.

» Posted By chasethis On February 20, 2011 @ 7:40 pm

Paradise–thanks for the heads up, but I’m okay.
I know people. 🙄

» Posted By chasethis On February 20, 2011 @ 6:07 pm

Cher, per your comment, I retired to the patio to think about the name “Move On” and I have some support for the name. (Sometimes I have to parse words for alternate meanings to make a paltry living. And I had to go the patio anyway to check my chicken.) If we didn’t know the etymology of “move on” as you accurately describe, “move on” could mean “move on this [action]” rather than “move on from this issue.” In other words, it could work.

Geez, what were we talking about? Cookies, anyone? Fudge? On ice cream?

» Posted By chasethis On February 20, 2011 @ 5:26 pm

No worries, gawd. I’ll give you a thumbs down to even things up. 🙄 (Thanks to PW for showing me the only trick I know at the planet–the little smiley guy.)

A little levity and it’s ON TOPIC! Something for everyone on a Sunday night. The Simpson’s, a union song and Classical Gas. ON WISCONSIN!

Solidarity in Austin and a city near you! Moveon is organizing all over everywhere. “Can you come out tomorrow to make clear that we’ll fight back as a national movement, not just state by state? The rally is at 1106 Lavaca Street, in Austin. It starts at 6:45 PM tomorrow.” Find one in your ‘hood at the moveon site.

My Old Kentucky Home

BDM, I remember the long long long running beautiful fences around the horse farms. (Horse farms?)

» Posted By chasethis On February 21, 2011 @ 2:48 pm

BDM, I’m not sure. In those days, Dad drove straight through from Tulsa to Clay County with five kids stuffed in the back seat trying not to touch each other. (No motels!) I missed a lot of things in the dark. I’ll defer to Adonai for clarification, but south from West Virginia to the Cumberland Gap sounds familiar.
