Inherit the wind


I saw the film years ago. It transfixed me. I remember Spencer Tracy’s speech about mankind, stripped of reason is nothing
I have been down for a while. So I decided to go and see this on stage.
I think Spacey flubbed a line. The horse is stronger and swifter then man. When he has already established the elephant is
``I may be rancid butter but I am on your side’’ A quip from the journalist. I liked this one
I felt sad, for the Ministers daughter. A Dixie accent always get me
Baltimore, is mentioned as a city of sin. Something’s never change! Music to  this eager viewer of ```the Wire’’
The journalist is based on H.L Mencken. I am a fan of his work, having picked up a paperback version of his work somewhere in the US
Brody’s critic of Darwin, as being anti democratic should get more weight. Darwin, influenced Fascism
It is a more innocent age. The science teacher can show a smart lad, his microscope and no one sneers, or raises an eyebrow.
Brady is made a Colonel, in the state militia, the Jacksonian tradition lives on in the South,.
I am glad I went.

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment.

It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed.

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
