Before I get back to a script that should have been done yesterday…
- Yes, I know a lot of white people have recorded "Shout." I was making what is sometimes referred to as a joke…though among the many recording artists who have been cited to me as having covered it, I'm not sure The Beatles really qualify as white people. Musically, at least.
- Many of you had suggestions as to why some links I click on open in Internet Explorer rather than my default browser, Mozilla Firefox. The most relevant seem to be that some links employ JavaScript that has I.E. encoded as preferential. Some of the others may apply, as well.
- I may have overstated the lack of fame of Robert Walker, who starred in the movie, Ensign Pulver. Then again, several of you who wrote to tell me of his grand film career have him confused with his father, who acted under the same name. The son has had a pretty good run of acting jobs and he was very good in Ensign Pulver. I just thought following Jack Lemmon in a part like that is like trying to follow Tiger Woods around the golf course. You can hit a great game and still look like a runner-up.
Okay, back to that assignment…and fretting because I have to go downtown tonight. One hopes the massive Lakers victory parade will be gone by then. One does hope.
