Saturday's Favorite Movie Moment - Almost Famous
I Remember when the car radio was the main source of communication, entertainment, and comfort between friends in the 1970s. Everyone piled in their cars and sang along to whatever song was playing on the radio every week-end. It was so much fun, plus those times created memories we will always remember...
For a long time I thought it was just my gang who sang to the car radio, until the broadcast of the situation comedy That Seventies Show and of course, this movie. Which by the way, is a great film, one you should rent if you haven't already. It's based on the life of a Rolling Stone writer's first band interview when he was only fifteen years old. But, I'm not going to tell you anything else, because it will give too much away! Have a great week-end!

Angels On Earth
Lost inside a state of mental and physical exhaustion, I prayed to meet an angel on earth, then, I felt the pillow of a horses mouth gently sweep grass from the palm of my hand.

Motherhood- Courage
Motherhood is an art impossible to explain, one which requires a vast sea of love, devotion, compassion, and understanding, unmatched by any affection we will ever know again.- Ann Clemmons
Courage-
Humor-
Words-
Words are the core of our souls, without written, vocal or lyrical expression we lose sight of one another or worse, ourselves. Words bring forth the essence of the human spirit; so express yourself without abandon.

Favorite Phrase
I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense...
Beatrix Potter’s Journal, 17 November 1896, from the National Trust collection.

The Storyteller, by Dawn Drover
Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light
She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free
For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well
Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imagination

Favorite quotes-
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.
Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'
F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"
Mark Twain
"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."
Franz Kafka
An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.
- Mark Twain in Eruption
"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"

what is that?! i know nothing about it but it looks f-f-fantastic! i feel a glow. thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a movie moment from the film "Almost Famous" which depicts a Rolling Stone magazine writer's first writing assignment with a famous band when he was only 15 years old. It's a really good movie, and true. I love this scene because it reminds me of the days when singing to the car radio was a main source of entertainment. Before the invention of video games and vhs movies. Plus, it was a nice way to comfort a friend. I'm glad you liked it~
Ann
Ah, good times. Cheers to happy memories!
Benhurjun, Yes, cheers to the happy memories of yesterday and to a new year create more mischief! Thank you for stopping by and the comment. :)))
Have a great day!
Ann
Memories is the best..
Happy weekend
I was a child of the 80's and we sang to the radio in the car as well. Sometimes we were just parked while others it was while we were moving down the road. With the air guitars and what not I am sure we looked very interesting to the other cars around us.
Thank you for reminding me of a great memory of my high school days.
Cheerfulday, Yes, memories are the best~ Thanks for the comment and have a great day! :))
Ann
e-mail marketing software, Your right, I should have included the eighties and the air guitar! I'm glad you enjoyed the memory.
Have a great day!
Ann
Just wanted to pop in and check on you to make sure everything is OK, because I noticed I haven't seen a new post for a few days... Hope you are doing great! Miss ya.
Ann-
I've been meaning to say this for a while. I love this feature and your taste in film is VERY close to mine. It is eerie!
Great job!
Misty, Thank you so much for checking on me, I've just been behind in free lance work so I haven't been online for long periods at a time, and haven't had a chance to post. Then today, my computer froze while updating and I couldn't even post Tuesday's Question. Thanks again for checking on me. I'm working on Tuesday's or rather Wednesday's Question as we speak, so you should see a post tomorrow, (fingers crossed) I hope so anyway. :))
You're a pal.
Misty, I noticed I wrote thanks for checking on me twice. Sorry. I hate how you can't edit comments, because if you delete them others wonder what kind of mistake you made, and if you leave them, they wonder if you knew any better. So I decided to write another comment saying I'm sorry- that way others will just think I'm a little neurotic. LOL
Bud, Thank you! I'm glad you like this feature. It sounds as if you have great taste in films. I suspect you appreciate movies that have well written screenplays. Just a guess~ :))
Thanks for watching, and the comment~
Ann
ok... I thought you were MIA.. phew!
Hi Ann,
It just brings a smile, doesn't it?
