What Love Is and When Love Goes Missing
IF ANYONE DARES TO READ THIS POST - DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DID NOT CREATE THIS POST IN RICH TEXT EDITOR - FIRST - EVERYTHING GOT SCREWED UP WHEN I TRIED TO ADJUST A FEW THINGS. FOR NOW I AM TOO TIRED TO COMPLETELY READJUST AND FIX THIS POST.
SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION AND DELAY IN RETURNING IT TO ITS ORIGINAL FORM.
She is just a little girl cartoon. She makes me laugh. And I despise her. Charles M. Schulz has put a woman inside Lucy, because he knew there’s a Lucy residing in most women. This female cartoon’s reckless shenanigans serve as an accurate template for the desperation of clueless women who stubbornly refuse to see “Lucy” in themselves.
Pure genius has Schulz putting big words into little mouths, as he has kids talk like adults; Insightfully, he has pulled ideas from his own experience and sprinkled them all over his strip. In an interview, he once mentioned his first wife* was a lot like Lucy, while Donna Johnson, the girl he truly adored - [ he dated her before he met his wife] - was not anything like Lucy. *His first marriage was an unhappy one.
Schulz suffered a terrific blow when Donna married another guy. He paid an endearing tribute to her in the storylines of the mysterious, rarely seen, Little Red Haired Girl.
Despite his accurate depiction of whimsical schemes of those desperate girls, Sally, Patty, and Lucy, Schulz does make one mistake: He has Lucy groaning about women’s lib taking away her lifetime membership, if they ever found out she was throwing herself at Schroeder.
The famous cartoonist was WRONG about that one.
The failure of women’s lib was forgetting that men and women are mentally and emotionally wired differently. -
The male reaction [scene below] to this “sometimes wanted” but mostly unwanted female attention-adoration - [quite a paradox – but true] - is really no different in reality.
In this very clever song* / performance, Peter Cook’s character, with deadpan precision, hurls sharp arrows directly at female hearts…..hearts with the oblivious, bold, irrational imprint of Lucy. *Bedazzled Written by Dudley Moore
-
- About women’s lib: Lucy really had nothing to worry about in regards to relinquishing her lifetime member ship – of – fools. Just the opposite is true. Women’s lib, was not just about equal pay in the workforce, but, sadly enough, encouraged women to have immediate, “carefree” casual sex like men, initiate plans like men, go after men – to behave like men… hence, the idiotic 60s and 70s sex revolution, which only served to exacerbate the lack of understanding between men and women in the first place.
Love (luv): n.) to be fond of; a strong affection for or attachment or devotion to a person or persons.
Thank you for this wonderful blog, from
Your Most Obedient, Devoted and Humble Servant, &C.
by Germaine Greer is highly overrated and boring. It was assigned in my book club by the lady who started the club, and we were all disappointed. I think I was the only one who finished it. Peter Cook mentioned Ms. Greer in that sketch and the awful memories came floooding back, like a water efficient toilet at a fancy dinner party.
Kudos to Rhiannon for creating her own content! Interesting take on Lucy. I always thought she was just a little b@*ch. But she is composite character of the modern feminist? She's miserable because she is pursuing some false version of equality that will never satisfy her? Am I accurate here?
Is "taming" a sort of shared intimacy that leaves these Lucy types longing for their missing mates? (I saw Cherryl Crow at the house of blues. I'm like a name dropper/blogger.) I guess I'm trying to get my head around why you are saying.
As long as we are discussing metaphors, what is the football that Lucy keeps holding out and pretending that she will let Charlie Brown kick? Charlie Brown doesn't seem to want fulfillment. He wants a woman to lock him out of the car and wrinkle her nose at him. No wonder why he's bald before he even reached puberty.
-----------------------
"Stop judging by appearances, but judge justly."
Charlie is Charles; bald before his time for sure; no thanks to the devil.
He puts HER in his shoes. Very simple, the guy's heart must have popped when she married the other guy right away after he proposed.
T'is very sad, but if he could see the truth, he would have seen it as a blessing.
Aw....
Charlie’s father’s girlfriend is flirting with him.
Flirting is the usual staple before strong emotions set in… the beginning of love, possibly.
I do realize that just because people flirt doesn’t always mean it will be so.
But flirting is usually a must. Humour is ESSENTIAL.
It can lead somewhere or nowhere at all. It is the beginning of something or nothing – but Flirting is scene one act one. I mean you can scare a person off when you come on really strong [Lucy to Schroeder].
I think that is what Schulz was trying to say.
About Dudley Moore’s 4th wife: Nicole Rothschild was such a monster, that as far as I can gather, she tremendously helped him shave years and quality off his life.
She was the only ex-wife that was banned from his funeral [as he was nearing his death, he literally told her to stay away from his funeral] – his other ex-wives remained friendly with him throughout the years.
When she learned he was very sick, she dropped her multi-million dollar lawsuit against him. She couldn’t have the world finally realizing what an absolute predator she really was.
She had no choice.
If Dudley hadn’t been so ill, she would have had judges scrape him off the floor of the courts.
Poor lying, mad/power/money-driven Nicole Rothschild.
You have seen Sheryl Crow at the House of Blues? …I am quite jealous. ’Is "taming" a sort of shared intimacy that leaves these Lucy types longing for their missing mates?’ Well here’s one idea: Lucy fails to establish any ties with Schroeder. She’s in his face. She’s not the type of girl that let’s go when she needs to. Peggy Sue Got Married, is a movie which is ideal to use for explaining the last video: In 1988, at a high school reunion, Peggy Sue faints due to a dysrhythmia, and suddenly she goes back in time.
It is 1960, and she is a teenager again. She’s back with her boyfriend, Charlie Bodell, who became her husband in the future. - [hah! another Charlie!] And so they pick up in conversation as if time and Charlie had never moved on. So while Charlie is still his usual teenage-self,
Peggy is grown up and knows everything from the future, even though she is a teen-ager again. Now she is confident. Now she knows better. So here is her boyfriend wanting to break up and Peggy shrugs her shoulders and says, “why wait until the prom, let’s break up now”.
Peggy loves Charlie, but she needs to let him go, because he wants to see other people and try to make it in the music business. If he truly does want her, he will come back. And in this story he did, so the ties they established must have been strong. That’s what I think one of the facets of taming is.
Thanks Nonesuch! Pretty smart the way Schroeder recites the description of love in a flat and listless way.
There's lots more where that came from too!
This was the best song played at Woodstock ^1969!!
Tom Petty is an extremely likable guy. I always made sure to read his interviews.
I had that record, Damn the Torpedos. Don't know what happened to it. And here's another great favorite of mine.
He is very funny as he explains how he wrote The Waiting. Songwriting is a very tedious job - so is touring.
Tom's a great character, you can tell right away;
he wouldn't even have to say a word.
The Waiting is on the list, and thanks for draggin' my heart around; nice jam! Hear Blue Rodeo - 5 Days in May ;]
That fill me with inertia clip is creeeepy, and sooo true; *ouch* x don't hurt me. Why do the rolling stones come to mind? They made a song about shoving a knife down the Reaper's throat.. forgot which one (it was about a woman). I actually heard it on the radio! Buddy chuckled bef4 playing it too..
I'd have to say that Sheryl Crow 'tune there is one of my least favorites too, and doesn't make the cut either.
But the POEM is priceless, THANKS for sharing! ^You^are^as^deep^as^they^come^, and that beats the heck out of any [-plastic-brained-selfish-greedy-needy-barbie-]

!!!!!!!!!!ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!
I like that song. The one by Sheryl Crow. The words say a lot. When you say poem, do you mean the lyrics to the tune of her song? I think you do. Sometimes I call the song "Lucy's Lament".
:)
I like everything about the song Bedazzled ! Dudley Moore wrote that. He was such a great composer / musician.
You think it's creepy? I think it's awesome. I like stuff like that. Yes...those lyrics are perfect for what I was trying to say.
Relationship love is HARD to come by. It really is.
Patience and Humour
Patience and Humour
Patience and Humour
And maybe love will come around.
Maybe.
You were talking about Universal love a while back.
That's even harder to acquire. MUCH harder.
Anyway, that's what I believe.
..wild guess; you like Trouble by the Cat, even though it makes you cry? sweet misery indeed.. me think songs like that suck the life outa ya; not because they make you weep, but because they carry a depressing/hopeless message. (trouble takes the cake; i much prefer Peace Train)
I meant the last one being the poem, but Sheryl's is good too. (so sue me) d&!
For all that great music.
I only had time to listen to 2 songs and watch the video. I will listen to more later.
Really AWESOME!
Thank you again!
This one complements the 'you fill me with inertia' very well. Nice toon!!=PSPLAT!!!
I do NOT like those sex smutty songs. I hate the lyrics and I hate the music. Please do not put anymore of THAT yucky stuff up!
Neil Young and Jackson Browne are great. Please make it all quality.
ALSO
I do not HOT LIKE WOW. Enjoy?
No I did not enjoy, Mr. Grim.
ALSO
Hot Like Wow is no where near like Dudley Moore's BEDAZZLED. Not in CONCEPT, not in Musical STYLE, not in LYRICS, not in ANYTHING.
BEDAZZLED supersedes hot like wow beyond space and time.
Sorry Grim. That's just me.
ALSO
hot like wow is really just a male fantasy type of "song" .......if you want to call that a song, which does NOT compliment Bedazzled at all.
When Dudley wrote that song, not only was he writing it for the Devil's part because the devil is always outshining Dudley's character in the story..........he was also saying that men do indeed show contempt towards women when women show too much interest, affection, and adoration. That is unfortunate, but it is true.
ALSO
Women's lib made things worse in this area by telling women they can be independent OF men instead of independent WITH men. Quite a double standard when they also encourage women to throw themselves at men. Things did not get better for women - things actually got worse.
bedazzled is just a 'female fantasy' sort of song; face it, guys want sex and women want money.
(no it's not an absolute)
here's the REAL QUESTION, would you have even noticed had i only posted the music, and not the silly video? sounds like JEALOUSY with a dob of heartache to me.
Honestly i found the video hard to watch; so THAT'S WHY i posted the music instead. But since i'm not admin, i cannot delete the video.
Could you even fathom that some fake titted makeup-queen 'easy sleazy covet whirl' could even have feelings? who is she? do you care?
i don't, i sort of liked the music though.
One would only hope that we+may^see beyond envy, LOL!

Well, I think so!!! I am trying to put utube content, but it doesn't do anything. After clicking on the "Insert/Edit youtube", when that opens & placing the embeded code in the "HTML snippet" section, "ok" button doesn't do anything. I have tried so many times ... I have no idea what to do! Rhiannon, please yelp!!!
Copy your YouTube codes and then go to the PLAIN TEXT EDITOR and paste them there. That is only if you want to put a video in without added text in the box.
IF you want to write text then DO THAT FIRST IN RICH TEXT EDITOR!
THEN switch to PLAIN TEXT EDITOR and paste the codes.
Can't thank you enough, Rhinnon! Let me do a little experimentation, please delete it later on, okie? :)
Cute little white kitten you got there, Musique.
I can't take the video off but I wouldn't anyway. I showed the clip to my sister. She loves cats.
====================
I like those songs by the Addrisi brothers. I never heard of them before. Fine vocal harmonies!
Here's a response to the married man song

Rhiannon!!
So glad to hear that both of you liked it. Wait! that gives me an idea ... you havta wait! hehe
..perhaps for your sis, unless of course you want to interpret it in a different way
This thread shorts out my browser, it's prone to fuck*ng up on the flash objects for some reason.
Big thanks for your comments on Ognir's post. I am sure that Joe2 will understand your point as well.
I was shopping at a local pet store last year and overheard the sales clerk talking to potential customers about cats and why female cats are much smarter than male cats by nature. You already know it but who else out there going to take care of the kittens? Who will teach 'em all types of survival skills?
I was at first "yeah surree!" Must be the new way of selling cats to the Stanford going feminist students! LOL
So wrong I was thinkin that way! Since I have the brightest cat, Maxie and you have to see her! I didn't even train her .... she does it whenever she wants to, even at 4 a.m. sometimes but never on demand! ;)
Here is a cheap joke I came up with: why do the Zionists hate cats? Cause one of 'em ate uncle Morty the rat last night!
