Something a little lighter but still a great read. I Thank God for Mark Steyn!

She could be the greatest child actress of all time. Comparing Shirley Temple Black to any child actress today would be like comparing Ronald Reagan to Barry Obama.

But she was a child star back when they were still reasonably sane.

The child stars back then were no more sane than the ones today. They just had different ways to self-destruct. Very few of them lived happy adult lives. Shirley Temple was unusual even back then.

Dianne Rheim recorded an interview with STB back in 1988 which was rebroadcast today. Fun to hear.

If I can't get this damn "Animal Crackers" song out of my head soon I'm putting on a Miley Cyrus video.

LYRICS FROM “Good Ship Lolliipop”: On The Good Ship Lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay

Lemonade stands everywhere
Crackerjack bands fill the air
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar...

I have a 3 yr old kid and I seriously doubt any production today would use such happy, childish lyrics.

Anyone see the Miley Cyrus train wreck?
X-rated stage show. Billy Ray Cyrus and wife approved...
