Yeah, they went after the indian. I never thought he was the one. I was born in Grove.

Though the performance is by Jordan Page, the words and music are by Neil's daughter Soleil. Solely sings the movie's title theme, reminiscent of the best James Bond themes. https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=ySRrsXzu...

Here is a better edition of Courage Knows no Bounds, just with acoustic guitar and Alexander's voice. she's something else. https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/pla...

As one who always, always, always votes for March of Cambreadth {herein as the center of a trilogy] https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/pla...
I think I've gotta say that Schulman wins again. This is scary good.

I wish I saw this earlier.

But put my vote for "White China" by Ultravox
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jbBv6Wh...

An cautionary tale of Communism and what is in store for Hong Kong.

"When pale turns to pink
With a soft unnerving ease
And all you've built around
May just tumble to the ground

We stand or fall
With your future in another's hands
We stand or fall
When your life is not your own

When white turns to red
In the not too distant days
Will force and misery
Be the life you have to lead?

We stand or fall
With your children in anothers world
We stand or fall
When your town is not your own

Chorus:

White China
White China

When crimson takes a hold
When the lights go down on all you've ever known
When all you'll ever do
Is worked out for you

We stand or fall
When the thoughts you have are not your own
We stand or fall
When the freedom slips away

White China"

He did, however, enjoy a successful career in the visual arts. It could be argued that he simply marched to the beat of a different drum.

From the film "Alongside Night" (which would be a good one for Atlas Productions to distribute):

Sounds like someone who has not read AS, or is so prejudiced that they are blind to the truths and the potentialities becoming realities that she described. Or they are just passing along ridicule of they overheard from such a person.

Wow. Superstitious crap? Obviously dont know what they are talking about. Although AS was published in 1957, while reading it I was absolutely amazed because it was like she was writing about what's going on RIGHT NOW. Superstitious? Hardly. Ayn Rand was a genius.

I like the "My Way" suggestion, written by Paul Anka. However, another Pink Floyd song would caution us of what can happen too easily, indoctrination. "Another Brick in the Wall", which is where US public education has gone, and religion as well. Too easily we become robots to supposed good intentions. We need to keep that in mind not matter the setting, is can be a slippery slope.

It wasn't a crazed escape felon. The man who was charged did not commit the crime. The real killers (yes, plural because one man couldn't have done all that was done) have never been caught. I live in the neighboring town where it happened. Read "Tent Number 8"

But what a great trip down memory lane. I love reading stories from people's youth. Thank you for sharing.

Nice, but very tragic. About a wildly creative visionary whose mental health completely collapsed and left him maimed.

No thanks, I'd prefer to sing it my way.

My Way: written by Paul Anka, sung by Frank Sinatra.

I just listened to the whole album this morning while sipping some Oaxaca brew. throws me back to my early teens. I discovered DF one summer working as a counselor in training at Girl scout camp. that was an interesting summer. I was 14 and driving a pick up truck with 12 canoes on a trailer back and forth to a lake. ha! and that was also the summer some crazed felon escaped from prison and brutally murdered some girl scouts in their tent just a state away from us. I gained alot of knowledge that summer :)

This sounds just like Big Brother.

That is in Tom Sawyer

I love that song. I was just playing it on my guitar yesterday as a matter of fact. It's a perfect Objectivist Song.

How about "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd.

Thanks for this post. I'm not good at finding songs that fit but I sure like mooching off those that can. What a great way this started my day off. :)

All good but I vote for Rush to top the list. Just the opening line says it all. "The mind in not for rent"

Great Choice. I have always been partial to this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lIzkLJE...
Lessons learned are the one thing you can take as much as you want of and no one can take them away from you.

You pull in a wide variety (so do I). Great selections. Funny about your picking "Superstition". I had someone just yesterday "explain" to me that Ayn Rand and her Philosophy were nothing but Superstitious cr**. No I didn't let it bother me. One has to consider the source of comments like that.

Don't Dream Its Over
