This man has no honor and doesn't deserve to be honored for anything.

Maybe if you csll it a "Grabby"......

Here's a review of Slick's performance that I found out on Google:

Then Uncle Gorby comes back, ten words at a time, and you look around again for that bucket while Gorby coughs out more platitudes to set the stage for our Hero, former President Billy Boy Clinton, who will narrate Wolf Tracks, by Jean-Pascal Beintus.

[An aside by this reviewer: I don’t know, but I suspect, that Ms. Loren, or her agent, only agreed to participate in this project on the condition that she get to Narrate Peter, because even her talent cannot redeem this piece of &*%$#]

Reach for the bucket now, and not because Billy Boy is a bad narrator– he’s OK, which in a way is high praise, considering that in this venue he gets compared with professional actors who usually get the nod for these narrations. And not because the Russian National Orchestra could not play Wolf Tracks– they are OK too.

No, you want to reach for the bucket because the narrative script to Wolf Tracks is just plain awful. It’s preachy, simplistic, unbelievable, and stupid. The story is a loose allegory of man’s destruction of the environment, a retelling of Peter and the Wolf in a more modern setting where the Wolf allows itself to be caught to save it’s pups, where Peter has an epiphany and learns that his actions are evil, and that his best choice in life is to leave nature to nature, as Grandfather keeps telling him. [ Breathe deep, don’t look, don’t listen, just rinse your mouth and ears.]

And the music? It’s written more as an underscore to a movie than as a piece unto itself. One cannot listen to Peter and The Wolf without being moved by the music. The distinctive melodies rouse one’s spirit, stay in one’s mind, because the words, the narration, are intended to support the music. But not Wolf Tracks– here, the music is intended to remain in the background, which is unfortunate, because the words are simply atrocious.

And just when you thought you were out of the metaphorical woods, here’s Uncle Gorby again, still ten words at a time, to explain it all to you.

Sorry folks. This does not add up to an integrated work of art or entertainment that one wants in one’s library. The best use I can suggest for this is a stocking stuffer for Ambassadors at the UN. Besides, with all the BS that floats around there, I’m sure they always know where the bucket is.

The show last night was not about the music as the Queen La-tif-lib said at the end of the show. It is about adult children who have no wisdom in human judgement.

[texasbluebell]

I don't have my old records, they were destroyed over years of use by more than a few children.

I don't know if we had Tubby the Tuba, can't remember many of the others, I did love the Burl Ives recording we had though, of Big Rock Candy Mountain.

I am still heartbroken that my MASTER OF THE HOUSE did not win in 1998.

[doug from upland]

Go sing THIS for some inspiration.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Please FReepmail me if you want on/off this ping list.

[FairOpinion]

LOL!

[malia]

Does anyone know Ann Rule.

Seems to me this would/should be of interest to those who track and trap serial killers.

I would think 31 is a good start!

[tdadams]

This category is such a joke, I don't know why it's even included in the Grammy awards. Is there anything truly artistically innovative about the way a person reads a book?

[tdadams]

There's enough dirt on Clinton without the tinfoil hat conspiracy theory crap.

[Pagey]

It was a total mockery of the Grammy's when they awarded Hillary one for spoken word in the early 1990's. Giving Billy Jeff a Grammy for Spoken Word is not only preposterous but nonsensical.Can't you just hear him a year ago:"Hey Hillary has a Grammy on the mantle, what do I have to do to get one"? We know for a fact that he had people lobby for him to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999 and 2000, it was documented in newspapers and online. This is simply another example of his feeble attempts to 'fill in' the huge hole in his stomach and the total 100% acquiescence of The Music World (what's left of it rather) and the Grammy's, to help him achieve that goal, which is an unenviable and wholly impossible task that will never be fulfilled. LOL!!!

In a way, it's appropriate that Bubba got a Grammy for "Peter and the Wolf". As all good "Animal House" fans know, Otter was in the habit of whistling "Peter's Theme" as he was preparing to go get some.

"There's enough dirt on Clinton without the tinfoil hat conspiracy theory crap."

Just a tiny list of evil that has fell upon some of Clinton's contacts, associates and enemies and was written by a reporter from England. I posted it to remind everyone of the trash these liberals in Hollywood worship. Hope you're okay with that...

[nopardons]

Oh, I'm sorry your set didn't survive.

My Burl Ives records didn't make it either. I loved those too. We seem to have liked the same music/records, when we were kids. :-)

The product claims to eliminate `ugly pustules'.


**
Well, that explains why they had to use people that only RESEMBLED the Clintons; had they used the actual Clintons, said ugly pustules would have been eliminated, and the manufacturer would be answering questions from the USSS big time.

[texasbluebell]

It was such a novelty to turn on that little record player and actually play a record, as I remember it.

It was a really big deal when we got that little machine for Christmas. Long, long ago.

So, this is what former world leaders do when they have run amok? Revisionist children's book tellers eh? Wolf-man Bill for a new twist?
