Name: "Happy"
Play it! Play it! Stop! Go on. That's it, that's what this show's about, the Depression! Men marching, marching in the rain. Doughnuts and crullers. Men marching, marching. "Jobs! Jobs!" And in the background, Carol, Spirit of the Depression, a blues song, no, not a blues song, but a wailing, a wailing! And this gorgeous woman, singing this song that'll tear their hearts out. The big parade! The big parade of tears! That's it! That's it! Work on it, work on it!
Hometown: Barnegat Shoals
Country: United States
Occupation: actor
Companies: W.B.
Interests and Hobbies: I like to share some favorite movie moments with friends - especially the stuff that's not easy to see anywhere else.
Music: The best popular music came from the first four decades of the 20th century. I will admit that just because it's old doesn't mean it's good, but I don't believe that popular music is supposed to generate anxiety, anger, revulsion and fear, as it does today. Some of us go out of our way to avoid being trapped by rock, the sound that crushes everything in its path. Our standards went down several thousand notches with the proliferation of amplified claptrap. I'm one of those humans that only goes in for [Irving] Berlin or Vincent Youmans. Give me a melody that's red, hot and blue!
