Screw that, he will always be Albert Stroller, and also the gambler (?) from Magnificent 7.

He also played, off the top of my head, Washington, Lincoln (maybe?), Truman, and FDR (twice or more), and probably some others. Dude had more time in the Oval Office than William Henry Harrison.

Too soon?

God, I hate that song. I know, I know, but Jesus H. Christ it and What a Wonderful World are the go to for every lazy film score.

And "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" is sung every December. The Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah is wonderful and I only listen to it once in a blue, blue moon.
 
Re: DEAD!! All right, who died now?

Never cared for that song, especially Buckley's version, mainly cause I can't stand Jeff Buckley. I prefer Nick Cave's Hallelujah. :D

But I was searching youtube a while ago looking for stereo equipment reviews, and came across this guy who has some equipment similar to mine, and also receives and gets to compare a whole bunch of different speakers and other equipment. And this is one of his demo tracks. Stunningly beautiful.

Candor. Unless you mean you liked her Hebrew singing.

No, I meant cantor. Her voice, and the way she used it, had an almost musical quality to it that made her enjoyable to listen to. She understood how not just to read a story but to use her voice to explain it.

Too many in media today just say a sequence of words they don't stop or breathe or understand the language well enough to get that inflection and pauses matter so it all seems like one ugly run-on sentence that you're not sure where it started or ended and if there ever was a start or end to the sentence or the story and did you hear that UND Football had a 28 point comeback in the last 24 minutes of its game Saturday to win a share of the Big Sky Conference title and that the weather in North Dakota may actually turn colder and snowy by Friday.*


*I trust you see my knock against much of the news reader media. Gwen would've had that as three, clear, discernable, unique and distinct stories. I actually heard something like that over lunch on local radio. < facepalm >

Listening to the Obama press conference. He took the time to recognize and memorialize her. That was nice

Man, she was young.

Wonderful, intelligent, and above all kind. She was a great journalist.

She was my wife's RA when they were students at Simmons. She really made an impression on my wife, taking her and a group of "country mouse" freshman classmates on the "T" (subway system) and showing them around Boston. As you said, above all, she was kind.
