Somewhere Over the Rainbow
« on: October 06, 2013, 07:46:36 AM »
We watched this classic film again last night (family movie night)...& I was reminded that, nice as the Judy Garland version is, that a Sumo wrestler sized man, armed with only a ukelele can cause considerable impact upon my emotions if he strikes the right chord.

Hey - apologies - I didn't realize this was such an overplayed song. We, literally watch ZERO TV - and when I cross-posted on Facebook - my younger brother says he likes the version but can't watch it due to saturation. I can't remember the last time I turned on the TV (June/July - & maybe for 10 minutes of Food Network).

The night I egan to face that I loved the woman who has since become my wife, this song played in a movie, called 50 first dates.  There are special things in life that should NOT be shared sparingly.  The thing is, I have never know, until YOU shared this, that he was such a large man who sang this song.......and I myself was once a 500 lb man.....and yet she loved me. For me, you posting this was special. Have no fear, move as the spirit leads you. SOMEONE may be blessed by you. I was.

So I take it that the fella has passed on, and those were his ashes being spilled into the ocean?

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Yes. I went from remembering I heard a song on the radio 6-7 years ago, to looking it up on You.Tube after watching the Wizard of Oz, to learning of his size & short life (died @ 38 due to complications of weight + respiratory - he at one time weighed 740+ pounds) & then learning that everyone else on the planet, except me, has heard it played many times over on commercials.

Don't apologize.  I've rarely heard it -- but always liked it -- and never seen the vid, so thank you.
