Yes, the acting was very good, all round. <br /><br />Sissy Spacek should get more acclaim - she's so versatile. First time I saw her was in <i>Coalminer's Daughter"</i> - with a young Tommy Lee Jones in ginger wig! <br /><br />Thanks for the recommendations, I'll seek out tapes or DVDs of those movies. :-)<br /><br />I know how you feel about the "fraud" - yes, waves of Neptune surround him always - I've always had that feeling about him, but used to hope it might be Neptune "in a good way". It wasn't!

You may want to see Sissy in two films rarely mentioned in artcles about her career. "Badlands" is a film based on a true story about a girl who goes cross country on a killing spree with her boyfriend in the Mid-West in the 50s. Sissys' character doesn't do any killing but she is convicted along with her partner in crime. A very young and engaging Martin Sheen plays the boyfriend. The other is "Heartbeat" about Jack Kerouac and his friend Neal Cassady (Nick Nolte) and the girl they both love and share. It is also the fifties but in San Francisco. "Missing" is more well known,another true story about a young American who goes missing in Allendes' Chile and his wife(Sissy)and father, Jack Lemmon tried to find him and/or the truth about his disapperance. The scenes between Sissy and Jack show what superb actors they are and how they played off one another.<br /><br />One word about Diana, Bill Ayers and their "literary and personal links". If the truth ever comes out about this frauds' past, the American people will be shocked and sadden that they chose to believe in him. I don't believe his birth data so any chart of his is conjecture. If it is true or should we learn the truth, either chart is probably heavy on the Neptune and/or 12th house aspects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-17207104623345549722013-03-12T17:37:35.187-05:002013-03-12T17:37:35.187-05:00libramoon ~~ Hi!

Great book ...libramoon ~~ Hi! Thanks for the link!<br />Great book cover! Even the chapter titles sound wild and woolly. :-)<br />I'll try a few pages, to see how I get on - I suspect I'm not going to be on that wavelength now - but maybe I'd have tuned into it in the 60s if I'd been this side of the pond then. <br /> :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-59750684162207440342013-03-12T14:41:15.684-05:002013-03-12T14:41:15.684-05:00The Electric

Thank you for your loyal support over past months - it has been much appreciated, Mike.<br /><br />Have a good, successful and happy spring and summer 2013!<br /><br />I'll look out for you in the fall - if I haven't by then thrown in the towel myself. :-) Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-33550143849015167232013-03-11T11:19:55.989-05:002013-03-11T11:19:55.989-05:00The 1960s and 70s were fascinating times here in t...The 1960s and 70s were fascinating times here in the USA for me to have lived through. It was all everyday stuff at the time, but I often recall events, to which, some make me cringe, some make me laugh, and some make me wonder how I'm still alive to remember this stuff!<br /><br />The most harrowing for me was during the racially charged era of the mid to late 1960s. I lived in Kansas City, MO, in 1968, and experienced local riots...random shoot-outs on the roads I took to work...arson in my neighborhood, random assaults, a murder across the street from my apartment. It was spooky.<br /><br />Then there was the never-ending background of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll. The political, Vietnam war demonstrations, the war draft, and the draft-dodgers that usually became college students for the deferment. Organic food, sustainable communes, and hippies. Ah, those were the days!<br /><br />I'm taking a blog-o-sphere sabbatical, Twilight. Cashing-in my frequent commenter miles. Boo hoo, sob, reality beckons! I'm typically very busy spring through fall here in the deep South and it's well into spring. So, I'll catch you toward fall, Twilight. Cheers!mikenoreply@blogger.com
