Is it my own fault, as I sit here contemplating what I did, what I didn’t do, I should feel resigned. Lonely, full of destroying thoughts, I must deserve this. I feel it washing over me, not to cleanse, or possibly it will? The darkness coming, surrounding, compressing my mind.

One of these dreamboats is in a new movie coming out this week, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, looking better than ever! “Legends of the Fall”–beautiful scenery of every kind. 🤩

Mentioning music, I was privileged to attend a live performance of this opera in Colorado at a vintage theater. I can lay down and listen to these songs over and over again. Puccini operas are my favorites, the music is so poignant, gives me chills and even cry😢.

Jim’s theme for today is movies and the songs that make you remember them. I’ve chosen “Footloose”, starring Kevin Bacon.

My sister does genealogy and found we are related to Ragnar Lothbrok who I fell in love with portrayed by Travis Fimmel on the History channel’s series “Vikings”. At initial parts of the series, they followed the episodes with real scientists researching Viking history. The Lothbrok character did exist in real life, as did the character Rollo. The series was enjoyable at first but stopped showing the actual history after the episodes and then increasingly violent especially as the character Ivar grew up.
We went to see the exhibit “Vikings” at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. It was somewhat disappointing as we longed to see an actual ship they used. The items most interesting to us were actual tools, swords, jewelry and implements they used.

Come one, come all
To the forest hall
We’re starting a band
Right here on our land
Trumpets, drums and even dancers
All to delight the music fanciers
Our reputation we want to change
You need to know we’re not so strange
We might be gray and have no hair
Willing to admit a certain scare
Is present when you first greet us
So come hear us play and meet us
We may look odd at first
Rumors say that we are cursed
I think you’ll soon realize
We’re just a normal band of guys!

I would have loved to watch David Byrne in that big white suit live. I have the CD but still fun. “Talking Heads” Burning Down the House:
***
I wonder if the creatures fear
The image we see here
The heat, intensity of the sun
Ever lowering; wonder if they run
To secluded forest nooks
Or to edges of cooling brooks
The night darkness brings reprieve
Until dawn when again they receive
The light, the heat from above
Is it to be feared or loved?
