Wnti's Golden Age of Freeform Radio-1983-2003

These images of Geraldine Page, Rip Torn, and James Baldwin reveal the great admiration they all held for each other--as people, as friends, as artists. Geraldine Page and Rip Torn fought for James Baldwin's play BLUES FOR MR. CHARLIE, which appeared in 1964, through the Actors Studio Theatre, about a year after these photographs were taken. Geraldine Page also championed the talent of Diana Sands, a Black actress who would appear in BLUES FOR MR. CHARLIE and THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT on stage, and who was set to appear in the film "Claudine," but she died of a rare form of cancer in 1973, at the age of thirty-nine.

Patricia Bosworth said that Geraldine Page and Rip Torn were "great citizens of the world, artistic and otherwise. They fought for the right things."

My dear friends the Mary's ,
Ann Walsh and Don Brody performing together...
Don Brody passed away on this day in 1997.
Thanks for reminding me , dear Michelle Ceddia, we witnessed greatness on a close basis. Funny I was thinking about Don just a day or two back, not even recalling the day Don died.

Ann Walsh and the late Don Brody performing as The Marys on "Impressions: The Music Show" in 1993. The band performed three songs and was interviewed by host...

Actually I believe that Cruz Holly and characters like Marjorie Taylor green We're Not Afraid, I believe that they were going to join the insurrectionist. Josh Hawley was not running away from the Insurrection he was running to his contact. But in any case Ted Cruz admitted to hiding in the closet too bad there wasn't a bed dyed to hide under

Mt Romney Snarled at Ted Cruz on Jan. 6: 'This Is What You've Gotten Us!'

Senator Mitt Romney snarled at fellow Republican Senator Ted Cruz during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, according to Cruz's new book due to be published on October 25.

The Texas senator makes the claim in Justice Corrupted: How the Left Weaponized Our Legal System and writes about his decision to object to the certification of Electoral College votes from the 2020 presidential election.
In his book, Cruz described how senators and members of the House of Representatives departed their joint session on January 6 so that each chamber could debate objections separately.

While Republican Senator James Lankford was speaking "there was a commotion from outside the chamber."

"Suddenly, Capitol Police officers rushed in and hastily escorted the vice president off the dais," Cruz wrote "Shortly thereafter, we paused the proceedings. In the fog of the confusion, it was difficult to tell what exactly was happening. We were informed that a riot had broken out and that rioters were attempting to violently breach the Capitol building."

Cruz and the other senators were initially told to remain in the chamber by Capitol police but were then told to evacuate and proceeded to a secure, undisclosed location.

"In the secure location, tempers were high. Many senators were scared," the Republican wrote.

Others were angry. Amid the chaos, more than one senator expressed rage at those of us who had objected to the certification of the election, blaming us explicitly for the violence that was occurring," Cruz said.

"As we evacuated the floor, Mitt Romney turned to me and the other objectors
and said with a snarl, 'This is what you've gotten us!' And the Democrats were even angrier," he wrote.

On that day in 2021 hundreds of Donald Trump supporters broke into the Capitol Building in a bid to stop Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election from being certified.

In his book Cruz continued: "While we waited for the Capitol to be secured, I assembled our coalition in a back room (really, a supply closet with stacked chairs) to discuss what we should do next.

I forgot just how good this song was! Maybe you forgot too, but now we're 2,000 man,
It's even generationally prophetic.

Well, my name is a number
A piece of plastic film
And I'm growin' funny flowers
In my little window sill
Don't you know I'm a two thousand man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
Well my wife still respects me
I really misused her
I am having an affair
With the random computer
Don't you know I'm a two thousand man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, your brain's still flashin'
Like it did when you were young
Or do you come down crashin'
Seeing all the things you'd done
All was a big put on
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your son
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, Proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your sun
And you know who's the two thousand man
And your kids they just won't understand you at all

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated to telling only lies
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
An no one know how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
