Paul Newman 1925-2008

Ahhh...the blatant hypocrisy and twisted psychology attached to cancer: Young sob-sisters will dutifully shave their heads in sympathetic acknowledgment of the harrowing, yet “therapeutic,” radiation-poisoning being suffered by a cancer-plagued friend. Yet, If I were to wear an eye-patch to show my support for a cataract-sufferer, pad my abdomen with pillows during my wife's pregnancy, or fake a limp because a brother recently lost a leg, I'd be deemed an aping fool.

Note to all: soundstage8 and myself have sent seperate emails to WMG explaining that the return of the music to this video is a win-win outcome. It is a win to WMG as it increases the chances that a sale will be made. By doing so, sales increase. It is a win for viewers/listeners, as the tribute may be appreciated in full. I am a fan of Paul Newman and this is the reason I have made the effort I have.

May I also point out that no cynic ever achieved anything.

Regards,

Tom.

Note to WMG: If profits are your concern, you have just decreased them. The number one factor which drives sales is the exposure of the song and the empathy which it creates in its listeners. Soundstage8 has used two songs to commemorate a man which he, I and others connect with.

The response you have made is to bring down knowledge of the song(s), smear your brand and destroy an opportunity.

I ask: how can I possibly buy the music when I haven't been able to evaluate it?

[Soundstage8]

That is a great comment. Thank you

what was that last song!!! i loved it!!!

[Soundstage8]

The last one is "Not Goin' Home Anymore" By Burt Bacharach. It was featured in Newman's film, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," which I highly recommend ;)

[worldtraveler91]

Wonderfully made! Made me cry...we miss you, Paul!

[Soundstage8]

Thanks :) I miss him a lot, in chorus today a friend of mine played the theme to The Sting on the piano :'(

[NGS712]

Sound: I think that piece is called, 'The Entertainers' or something like that by Scott Joplin.

[Don't ask, I just know. Muaahhhhh! *sinister laughter*]

[Soundstage8]

Haha yea, I've heard it a million times but I can never remember the name ;)

[NGS712]

[italiangrll15]

aw, very nice dan! good job :)

[Soundstage8]

Thanks, lovely :)

[NGS712]

I haven't really seen any of his movies [except for Hudsucker Proxy where he was a great actor in a bad film :)].

But for those of us who 'believe' he's in a better place, for those who don't he lived a good life.

Either way, he's gonna be missed and unfortunately we'll be still stuck with the likes of Tom Cruise. ;)

Class and talent are two qualities that are rarely found together these days.

Good job.

[speech over ;)]

[Soundstage8]

Thanks :) You should really check out "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "The Sting" those are both amazing. And they both also star Robert Redford, who's also amazing :P And like Paul Newman's best friend...I think :P

NGS and Soundstage: You both shopuld definitely watch Road to Perdition from 2002, one of Newman's last films. It stars Tom Hanks who plays a hitman whose son witnesses one of his murders. Newman plays the Irish Mob-boss of the town. Great performance, AMAZING CINEMATOGRAPHY, and just great movie!!! It turns into a real touching movie about fathers and sons, and morals.

And NGS, it's also on Youtube . . . or at least it used to be.

[NGS712]

larma: Yes, you told me about it before. I'll look to see if it's still on here.

Or at least for the trailer. ;)

[NGS712]

larma: Yep, it's still on YT. Saved it to my 'Movies' playlist. And there is a trailer. :P
