I called him a midget because he is a midget and because I couldn't get
across Leicester Sq to eat noodles because of this huge hullabaloo over some
crappy film he's poncing around in. I called him a midget because I was
surrounded by people reacting to him as if he was Jesus Christ and a bit of
deflationary humour was called for. I called him a midget because little men
are so fucked up about their size it informs every action in their lives and
I hoped it would annoy him. I called him a midget because he is a
millionaire one hundred and twelve times over for no very good reason and my
total assets are sixty three quid and a few records. I called him a midget
american cultural imperialist because he is one. I called him a midget to
annoy his fans. I called him a midget because short people ain't got no
reason....

As for the Gettysburg Address- you ought to have heard the version Margeret
Thatcher recorded of it- ruined it for me forever...

Nothing campares to Shatner's dramatic reading of "Rocket Man" live on
television. One of the most frightening things I've ever seen. What was
that Pascal said about the terror of infinite spaces? It was like that.

BTW, Tom Cruise is a very good actor.

I reckon about 5ft 1inch. If he's looking for more crappy tv to film
projects like Mission Impossible, why doesn't he do 'Inch High Private Eye'?

Shatner doing Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds is the one to get you
headbutting the wall with a smile. Maggie recorded a record about ten years
ago of great political speeches and the Gettysburg Address was one of 'em.
She fucking murdered it and, if I recall right, it was set against a
backgound of battle noises or martial music or both. I remember catching a
bit on the radio. I think if you heard it you'd need to see a doctor shortly
afterwards.... anyone else remember it?

Except, I suppose, that in his latest movie, Cruise plays (I seem to remember
reading) a veteran of Gettysburg who goes to Japan to teach military stuff.

And yes, the Gettysburg Address is a fine speech. Lincoln's second inaugural
speech, from the final days of the war, is also in that class, and worthy of
frequent rereading. I'm not a believer, but this passage gives me chills:

"Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may
speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth
piled by the bondsman's [slave's] two hundred and fifty years of unrequited
toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be
paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so
still it must be said 'the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous
altogether.'"

Such a lame retort so *early* in the year Mab! I don't know whther you're
being ingenuous, disingenuous or what f*cking genuous. On the other hand it
is a classic example, for scholars of the future, of an abgo/Bridegam
retort.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

according to a site I find, next to the lift-shoes, Cruise's 'official'
height is 5'7 which is a damn lie.

Now Martha how in the name of Robert Mapplethorpe is that weird? 1, Dylan
speculation is a 'net basic. 2, Everything I said is true bar my speculation
(well true if you read Holly Babylon etc) 3, Tiny Montgomery came Old Frisco
IN THE SONG MAB! And like, Frisco is homoland yeah? I hate that deliberate
obtuseness/disinenguous side of your arguing technique, its so blatant.
