Hi Hap,

->  hn> in the USA (sigh) Look at all the rappers making megabux just for
->  hn> acting like thugs...look at some of the TV cooks! (grin)

-> And the Godfather of all rap passed away on Christmas Day.  Watching the
-> tributes on the news, I could see where MJ got his moon walk and other
-> "artists" theor "styles".  Look at how many psuedo chefs now have a
-> schtick like Emeril's "Bam!" now.  A few years ago, I made up some of

 hn> Godfather of SOUL not rap...his songs were positive in nature and

They were also giving him the credit for starting rap, tho, as you said,
his was much cleaner and positive.


 hn> uplifting rather than degrading. I was lucky enough to see him live
 hn> several times and he never had a fight break out at one of his

I never got to see him live; I'd have rather gone to a Joan Baez
concert. (G)

 hn> concerts! And as for the psuedo chefs...there's always a flock of
 hn> wannabees around any successful gimmick. Look at TV; one successful
 hn> judge show...now there's one an hour all day long. One successful
 hn> forensic cop show....now there's more than you can count! One
 hn> successful "American Idol" show...and now theres one for
 hn> dancing, singing, yada yada yada .....makes me embarrassed to have a

Too much "Seinfeld" for you; "No soup today!"


 hn> TV in the house....but I like old movies and if they'd only put out a
 hn> John Wayne channel I'd be happy....well if they put out a WC Fields

We watched "True Grit" (DVD) the other day; I know it was his next to
last movie but he was just as big and loud in it as he was in any of his
other movies.

 hn> channel....and Laurel and Hardy Channel.....oh and Danny Kaye!
 hn> ....please though...NO Audy --that's Audie--
 hn> Murphy channel!

I don't really have any favorite Hollywood (movie) folk; James (Jimmy)
Stewart would probably be the closest to a favorte tho.  We got the
cartoon movie "Fievel Goes West" on video years ago in Berlin; it had
one of JS's last roles (voice of the old coyote) in it. Sweet; he was
passing on advice to the younger generation (the mouse).

 hn> hap.......No Mario Lonza either!

OK, OK already! (G)
