Waco Notes

"(sic) Look what happened there!"
--Toure, MSNBC

Mad Max vs. the Godfather

Ok.
So, the opening notes of John Williams' main theme for 'The Patriot,' starring Mel Gibson, mimic the opening notes of Nino Rota's main theme for 'The Godfather,' starring Al Pacino.
1972...2000.
yeah yeah.
In a way, the 20th century ended with the release of 'The Patriot.'
Yeah yeah.
Let's go back to the middle.
Remember Oliver Stone?
Stone released yet another Vietnam film, 'Heaven and Earth,' starring Tommy Lee Jones, in 1993.
Big deal?
Well, John Williams wrote a heartbreaking main theme for 'Heaven and Earth.'
In the summertime.
Then?
In November 1993, the DePalma/Pacino tag team of 'Scarface' fame descended on Hollywood.
They called it 'Carlito's Way.'
'Carlito's Way' boasts a moving musical score by Kenneth Branagh collaborator Patrick Doyle.
"Grand Central,' etc.
Elsehow, put on a DVD of 'Carlito's Way.'
Watch the trailer.
Sound familiar?
They use the John Williams 'Heaven and Earth' melody in the 'Carlito's Way' trailer!
Yeah Yeah.
So, to sum up?
The 20th century ended, for some, when, during the final showdown between Mel Gibson and Jason Isaacs in 'The Patriot,' John Williams, inexplicably, reprised the 'Heaven and Earth' melody.
AS heard in the 'Carlito's Way' trailer.
Y2K?

of pizza and dinosaurs

DINOSAURS AND BEYOND

Dinosaur pizza

Add some extra cheese

Ask for a job

And don’t say please

Countdown to Armageddon

I think my watch is slow

Bush’s son was up to no good

How was I to know?

It doesn’t take brains

It’s easy to lose money

Seinfeld is a riot

But The King of Queens ain’t funny

Time for a new lease on life

The old one sprang a leak

How does the brain function

When the body’s getting weak?

“You turned off David Letterman, now you must die”

Anybody else feel like that?

Bronstein burns the midnight oil

But Fat Guy just stays fat

Icharus flew too close to the sun

You can tell by the burns on his wings

Is it possible to believe in America

But also other things?

Romney and Obama going to war

Who do you trust with a child?

Animals are people with four legs

And they got to stay wild

“Stabilize your rear deflectors”

A monkey flies out of my butt

Everybody lost something

Now they all want a cut

The Roman Empire risen

The gladiator turned the tables

Neocons weren’t covered

In my book of Aesop’s Fables

Freedom of speech or freedom of death?

Can you unlearn not to think?

A candle for the archbishop

And I’ll have another drink

Little by little

The truth unravels

Was it all just another lie?

Some people worry and scream and yell

Others stay calm and cry

I guess you could say 9-11 never ended

Or is this called recovery?

I asked for love I asked for life

I got misery and drudgery

In like a lamb

Out like a lion

The climate is changing, and fast

Thank heavens my little Toyota Corolla CE

Was built to last

“Get me to the doctor”

Show me to the door

Stand up and change the channel

Bob Dylan said you can win the war

“After losing every battle”

Have we come to the end of all things

Or is this the Grey Havens?

Back in the day the Cleveland Browns

Became the Baltimore Ravens

“You were put here to protect us

But who protects us from you?”

I save my pennies and go to the store

But noone will sell me a clue

Cops and gang-bangers patrol the streets

In word if not in deed

“Dae wonna wanga”

“Teglowa Master Luke”

We all have a mouth to feed

Dereliction of duty

In the White House

Will impeachment do us any good?

Do you people sleep better knowing

That Big Brother trolls the neighborhood?

Food porn, lifestyle porn,

Who’s behind the lens?

Daylight brings me sinus headache

Bring paper and pens

Saddam Hussein and the kings of old

Enforced their wills with power

I look in the mirror

And see myself growing colder by the hour

“Don’t be dark” says Pollyanna

She’s probably a demon

Some folks learn to dance with life

And others stand there reeling

“Fight the powers that be”

Or just be pissed off all the time

Brian Kuhar turned to me and said

“At least it rhymes”

Dark days behind, dark days ahead

Will somebody please draw the curtains?

I never thought my lot in life

Would be that of an urchin

fight song?

Soup's on, Nipper!
Let's win one for the Gipper!
Order of the Silver Hammer meets the Brotherhood of Tea.
Making the bad guys walk the plank?
It serves 'em right, for heaven's sake.
Obama Buzz comes straight at Mitt Romney.
