Didn’t know him on any personal level but knew of him and that beat when I myself was in me teens. Gotta know Bo, gotta know Diddly.
What a ride I had so many years ago.
Good, Bad, Not Too Ugly
We should not say BEST or Worst President of the United States. First we must divide the history of the country into times on and off of the World stage. We truly admire those guys we call the founding fathers. Recently, a Broadway musical put the spotlight on one of those who was not a President – Alexander Hamilton. If his time in history did not focus the WORLD’s attention on him, then that play certainly did.
William Henry Harrison was not one of the founding fathers, but his time fell close to those guys. Don’t call him a Democrat; don’t call him a Republican. He was a Whig. Only American history students might know how close he would fall to modern Republicans or Democrats. If you want to speak ill of the Whig, then just say that he didn’t have enough sense to get in out of the rain. (Does the video say it better than me?)
Forgive me for getting a lil serious, a lil political.
Words
The word “words” doesn’t say much, but then it might if you know the song. Do you know the artists, Dolly and Barry? Each time I promise not to repeat a person or a source.
Acting Cannot Be Becoming That Other Person
When shooting the movie was over Jamie walked away as himself not RAY. However, if you watch the finished product, you see Ray even though you know it is Jamie Fox. It was an Academy Award performance.
About RAY rather than Jamie and copied from IMDB: The scene where Charles is met by a group of protesters outside the Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Georgia is a fabrication. Charles canceled his appearance after receiving a telegram from students at a local black college. The promoter successfully sued Charles for breach of contract, but he was never banned from the state of Georgia. When the Georgia state legislature honored Ray Charles in 1979, they didn’t apologized for banning him because he was never banned. In the commentary, it is stated that this event actually happened, but those who looked into Georgia’s legislature found no record that he was banned, just sued, and later they adopted as their state song “Georgia” – by Ray Charles.
TWO LADIES ( saw them back in 1980 )
Remember the premise is to portray people but too sources without repeating a person or a source. The source for this one is Kelly Clarkson. The persons would be Ann and Nancy Wilson who make the most recent group named Heart. Technically, there were other founding members in the beginning many years ago.

Les Paul
This video might be more personal than some can imagine.
I think Rock N Roller Steve Miller not only saw Les Paul perform when Steve was a child but also was a witness for the ceremony when Les married Mary Ford. The ceremony, again I think I recall, was in the home of Steve’s parents. My son and I saw Les play in New York a few months before he passed.
