“I’m An Idealist WITHOUT Illusions.” — JOHN F. KENNEDY
JOHN F. KENNEDY –OUR 35TH PRESIDENT Of The UNITED STATES Of AMERICA–
“No One Knows What It’s Like… To Be The Bad Man… To Be The Sad Man… Behind Blue Eyes…” — THE WHO (“Behind Blue Eyes” (1971))
“…No One Knows What It’s Like…
…To Be HATED…
…To Be FATED…
…To Telling ONLY Lies. …”
"BEHIND BLUE EYES" Off The Album "WHO'S NEXT" By THE WHO (1971)
“…But My Dreams…
…They Aren’t As Empty…
…As My Conscience Seems To Be…
…I Have Hours…
…Only Lonely…
…My LOVE Is VENGEANCE…
…That’s NEVER Free. …”
… … …
… …
… … …
It’s Simply A Song I’ve ALWAYS Taken Rather Personally Over The Years.
It’s ALWAYS Seemingly Been Part Of My Life.
My Father Was A HUGE FAN…
…Of…
THE WHO
…And This Album…
“WHO’S NEXT“
…Was ALWAYS His Favorite.
So I Grew-Up With This Album…
…And This Song…
…And While I’ve NEVER Tried To Emulate The Person Within The Song…
…I’ve Still ALWAYS Felt A Deep Connection With Said Person.
And NO It’s NOT Only Because I Also Have Blue Eyes.
Though…
…I Will Admit…
…That IS Part Of The Reason It Initially Stuck With Me.
It’s Just Another Of Those Songs…
…That’s Always Been There For Me.
And THAT FACT Is One Thing I Greatly Appreciate.
As I’ve Said To Y’all Before…
…Great Music…
…Is…
…FOREVER.
And THAT FACT Makes Me VERY Happy.

JOHN WAYNE
...Western…
…To ME…
…Has ALWAYS Been…
“THE SHOOTIST“
Period.
And…
…Because TODAY Is (sorta) A Holiday…
…I Wanted To Do Something…
…FUN…
…And…
…SPECIAL…
…For Y’all.
This Bloggin’ing Topic Just FELT Like The RIGHT Topic.
I Can Only Hope Y’all Agree With Me In Some Way.
M’Kay, My Peeps???

"THE SHOOTIST" Stars JOHN WAYNE, LAUREN BACALL, RON HOWARD, BILL McKINNEY, RICHARD BOONE, JOHN CARRADINE, SCATMAN CROTHERS, HARRY MORGAN, HUGH O'BRIAN, And JIMMY STEWART!
… … …
JOHN WAYNE
…Stars…
…As…
“JOHN BERNARD “J.B.” BOOKS“
…The Last Of The Great Gunfighters…
…Who Has Recently Been Diagnosed With Terminal Cancer.
He’s Taken The Long Journey To CARSON CITY…
…Basically For A Second-Opinion Of Said Diagnosis.
There, He Meets Up With His Old Friend…
“DR. HOSTETLER“
…Played By…
JIMMY STEWART
…Who Gives…
“J.B. BOOKS“
…The Ole Once Over…
…And…
…Sadly CONFIRMS The Diagnosis Of Terminal Cancer.
… … …
JOHN WAYNE In "THE SHOOTIST"
… … …
“J.B. BOOKS“
…Now Knows He Hasn’t Much Time Left…
…And He Simply Wants To Die Quietly.
No Hassles.
No Fanfare.
No Nothing.
He Rents A Room In The Boarding House Owned And Operated By…
“BOND ROGERS“
…Portrayed By…
LAUREN BACALL
…And…
“GILLOM ROGERS“
…Portrayed By…
RON HOWARD
…In The Hopes Of Getting The Quiet, Peaceful Death He’s Seeking.
… … …
JOHN WAYNE And JIMMY STEWART In "THE SHOOTIST"
… … …
As Time Passes, However…
“J.B. BOOKS“
…Finally Reaches The Conclusion That…
…A Quiet, Or Peaceful, Ending Is Simply NOT How It SHOULD Be.
He MUST Go-Out…
…In The Manor Befitting A Man Of His Caliber.
He MUST Go-Out…
…In One Last…
…BLAZE OF GLORY…
…And…
…GUNFIRE!!!
… … …
"THE SHOOTIST" Would Be JOHN WAYNE's Final Film. And, To ME, It Is, BY FAR FAR FAR, His Very VERY BEST. Trust Me, My Peeps... If You HAVE NOT Seen This One, DO SO! If You HAVE Seen This One, DO SO AGAIN! True Classics NEVER Get Old, Kids. At Least, Not When They're THIS GOOD. PERIOD. 😉
