Charlton Heston has passed away: AFP
It always seemed to me that he lost sight of the fact that he wasn’t really Moses.
Maybe, but he was at least able to laugh at himself. One of the last funny nights Saturday Night Live ever had was when he was the guest and did a couple of skits poking fun at his NRA persona. My favorite was him playing a 70-year-old stockboy at a grocery store who would do things like shout out random prices (“Price check on canned ham?” “Three for a dollar!”), and when the management would suggest that he was getting old enough to retire he’d say “Hmmm, you know, if I wasn’t working I’d have lots of time to clean my gun collection and meditate on the cruel blows life has dealt me.”
According to the obituaries he was much more liberal in his earlier days and just got conservative as he got older. All too common, sad to say.
I suppose this was in poor taste…

I think it was to be expected…
chiseled jaw …
He also had great abs when he was younger.
Sad news. I remember Charlton as a fragile old man unable to defend his NRA foolishness to Michael Moore.
Living with the elderly can make one feel more forgiving toward the foolish.

My goodness, I have to remember this one and quote it often. This is priceless……thank you so much.
“I remember Charlton as a fragile old man unable to defend his NRA foolishness to Michael Moore.”
His most memorable performance, IMHO. Second most memorable – Soylent Green.
I should read all the comments before I post lines from Leonard Cohen songs.
I’ll give you Silence in lieu of twitter…
SILENCE
when on a summer dawn the birds start calling
they bring to life the silence of the dawn,
a pause in speech is silence, and silence
when the other does not speak or
you refrain from speaking, or when
you are alone at night & have no one to speak to, and silence
the waiting of the forest when the air is still
or there is danger in the air. Silence
envelops music, talk , the guns of battle. Silence,
the songs of stones & mountains, speech of lovers, breath of poets, the outward shape of sound
is sound itself:
there is no silence in the soundless world of death.
-Stefan Brecht
Happy Sunday! Enjoy!
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir…
