Hi Hap,

->  hn> Godfather of SOUL not rap...his songs were positive in nature and

-> They were also giving him the credit for starting rap, tho, as you said,
-> his was much cleaner and positive.

->  hn> uplifting rather than degrading. I was lucky enough to see him live
->  hn> several times and he never had a fight break out at one of his

-> I never got to see him live; I'd have rather gone to a Joan Baez
-> concert. (G)

 hn> I've seen her several times as well.

The advantages of living in non rural areas.

->  hn> successful "American Idol" show...and now theres one for
->  hn> dancing, singing, yada yada yada .....makes me embarrassed to have

-> Too much "Seinfeld" for you; "No soup today!"

 hn> Anne and Amanda liked Seinfeld...I don't think I've even managed to
 hn> watch an entire episode yet....does absolutely nothing for me at all.

I may have seen one or two episodes--but couldn't see anything in it
either.  Makes me wonder what the popularity of it really was.

->  hn> TV in the house....but I like old movies and if they'd only put out a
->  hn> John Wayne channel I'd be happy....well if they put out a WC Fields
 hn> ->
-> We watched "True Grit" (DVD) the other day; I know it was his next to
-> last movie but he was just as big and loud in it as he was in any of his
-> other movies.
 hn> ->
 hn> If you watch a John Wayne movie....you're gonna see John Wayne (grin)
 hn> all they ever managed to do was change the scenery!

And the leading lady.  We had some good laughs over this one tho.

->  hn> ....please though...NO Audy --that's Audie--
->  hn> Murphy channel!

-> I don't really have any favorite Hollywood (movie) folk; James (Jimmy)
-> Stewart would probably be the closest to a favorte tho.  We got the
-> cartoon movie "Fievel Goes West" on video years ago in Berlin; it had
-> one of JS's last roles (voice of the old coyote) in it. Sweet; he was
-> passing on advice to the younger generation (the mouse).

 hn> Liked Jimmy Stewart a lot. Bob Hope, Anne Likes Fred Astaire, I like
 hn> Gene Kelly.

I'm not really thrilled with any of the above--just not that into
Hollywood.  Saw that Spielburg asked Harrison Ford to do another
Indianna Jones movie to come out in the next year or so so I asked Steve
if they'll title it "Indianna Jones and the Search For the Bottle of
Geritol."  Gave him a chuckle/
