This Reblog Is Dedicated To Mr. Smak, Ya Know, Since He Didn’t Remember Ever Hearing This Song In The First Place. Maybe NOW He’ll Remember 😉 😀
“… We Are Undercover-Passion On The Run… Chasing Love… Up Against The Suuun! We Are Strangers By Day… Lovers By Night. Knowing It’s So Wrong… But Feeeling Sooo Riiight! …”
What’s On Now Now NOW?! Ted Post’s “HANG ‘EM HIGH” (1968) Starring Clint Eastwood!!!
As It’s Said In The Film…
“All Right, Now That Makes Three Mistakes We’ve Made. The Money. We Hung An Innocent Man. And We Didn’t Finish The Job. We Can’t Undo The First Two. But We Can Still Finish The Job.“
That Really Does Sum Up This Classic Western.
“HANG ‘EM HIGH“
…Stars…
CLINT EASTWOOD
ED BEGLEY
PAT HINGLE
BEN JOHNSON
BRUCE DERN
ALAN HALE Jr.
DENNIS HOPPER
L.Q. JONES
…And…
INGER STEVENS
😀
Talk About Your Ensemble Cast, Eh!!!
Granted, This Is Well Before Some Of Them Were Actually Known By Anyone…
…But Think About Doing A Movie Today With As Many Stars As This Flick Boasts!!
Yeah.
It Would Sure Cost The Studio A Pretty Penny, That’s A BIG FO SHO!!!
😀
“HANG ‘EM HIGH“
…Is One Of THE Most Fun Westerns You’re Likely To Ever Find…
…And I’m Sure There Are Plenty Of You Out There Who Could Back Me Up On That Statement.
Am I Right, Or Am I Right?!
Yeah.
Exactly.
I’m Right.
😉
The Actors Are Spot On.
The Production Is Damn Near Spotless.
The Score Is Pulse-Poundingly-Perfect.
This Is Film-Making At Its Finest, So Far As Westerns Are Considered.
You See…
…The Director…
TED POST
…Had Some Hella Experience In The Western Genera.
Have Y’all Ever Heard Of Shows Like…
“GUNSMOKE“
…Or…
“RAWHIDE“
…Or…
“THE RIFLEMAN“
??? ???
Well…
…As It So Happens, Mr. POST Did Episodes For Each Of Those Series…
…Plus A Bundle More Episodes For A Bundle Of Other Shows!
The Man KNOWS Westerns.
Period.
And That Is Perfectly Evident Here, With…
“HANG ‘EM HIGH“
!!! !!!
😀
CLINT EASTWOOD
…Is…
“JED COOPER”
…And Our Hang’ee.
ED BEGLEY And His Crew Are The Hang’ers.
They Leave Our Man COOPER Strung-Up By The Neck In A Tree.
Along Comes A Marshall (BEN JOHNSON) And He Discovers COOPER Swinging From A Noose.
Except For One Thing…
…COOPER AIN’T DEAD!
(*QUE THE AWESOME MUSIC*)
Yeah.
Now Ole COOPER Is Set Upon Avenging Himself!
SO WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN?!?!?!
Well…
…I’d Suggest Watching It If You REALLY WANNA KNOW!!!
😉
Like I Said, My Peeps…
“HANG ‘EM HIGH“
…Is Exceptionally Fun!
And YES, It’s Totally Worth The (almost) 2-Hours You’ll Spend Watching It!
ENJOY, Kiddies!!
ENJOY, INDEED!!!
😀 😉 😀

I’m Just Finishing Watching This Flick On The Ole Starz HD Channel, And I Figured A Reblog In Its Honor Would Be Mighty Fine. Mighty Fine, Indeed. 😉
-BRAD
Sooooo…
…Was…
“DANCES WITH WOLVES“
…Honestly THE BEST FILM Directed By…
KEVIN COSTNER
???
Not Really.
What Was???
“OPEN RANGE“
!!! !!! !!!
I Was An Immediate Fan Of This Flick Upon Its Release In 2003.
The Performances Are True AND Honest…
…As Is The Story Being Told.
THE CLIMAX Of The Film…
…Is An EXCEPTIONAL Shoot-Out…
…That Easily Speaks To The Heart Of ANY True Fan Of The Western Genera.
I’ve Been A Fan Of BOTH…
KEVIN COSTNER
…And…
ROBERT DUVALL
…For The Bulk Of My Lifetime…
…And This Film Is A Feather In The Cap Of BOTH Men.
I Can Easily Recommend It To Y’all…
…As It’s One Of THE BEST WESTERNS Of The 21ST-CENTURY.
.PERIOD.
Happy Viewing, My Peeps.
Happy Viewing, INDEED!!!

This Just Really Resonated With Me This Morning. It’s An Important Subject, And An Exceptionally Well Thought-Out And Written Piece.
Kudos To Ms. Jaz, Fo SHO!
Oh, And “I’m Down” Is A Truly Classic Jam, Which Just Makes The Piece That Much The Better! 😀
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. Winston Churchill
How you treat others and speak to them is a direct reflection of yourself. If you look down on others and treat them with disdain what is this saying about you as a person? On the other side of the coin, if you treat each and every person with courtesy and respect what does that say? Recently I have had the experience of running into both ends of the spectrum. I have had one person that was so rude and short with me that I will never speak with that person ever again. This person treated me as if I was no better than a little bug under their shoe. On the other hand I have met some very sweet people that have been warm and inviting and in…

My Morning Mixes: Bourbon, Scotch AND Beer? On A Monday Morning? OKAY!!!
Good Morning, My Peeps.
🙂
How Goes The Day So Far?
Too Early To Tell, Eh?
That’s What I Was Thinking, Also…
…Even Though My Day Is Already Hours Old.
How’d Ya Sleep?
I Gotcha, I Gotcha.
Me, Also.
It Took Nothing To Fall Asleep…
…And Everything To Stay Asleep.
In The End…
…Staying Asleep Failed, Yet Again.
Oh Well, Right?!
RIGHT!!
😀
Well…
…We’re Not Here To Discuss Sleep, Anyway.
Are We?!
We’re Not, Right?!
Ah.
Good.
RIGHT!!
Let’s Talk A Little Music, Then!!
Good Plan, My Peeps, Good Plan!!
😉
WEEELLL…
…Temperature Wise…
…It’s Damn Near PERFECT, Outside.
That’s A VERY Good Thing.
We’ve Had Some Brisk Little Mornings Of Late…
…So Today Was Simply Made For Walkin’!
🙂
My Morning Mix Began With A Classic.
Which Classic Would That Be?!
GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS
…And Their Version Of…
“ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER“
😀
You Know I Like To Get My Walks Going Great…
…And This Morning Was No Different.
So Why Not Kick-It-Off With An 8 1/2 Minute Jam?!
Exactly, My Peeps, Exactly!
Why Not, INDEED!
😉
I Then Slipped Into Some…
…OH YEAH…
ALICE COOPER
…With His Charming Little Ditty…
“TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN“
😀
I Chose That One Because It Makes Me Happy To Do So.
“TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN“
…Always Makes Me Think Of My Nephew, As He’s A Big Fan Of It, And That Generally Gives Me The Power To Pick-Up My Pace.
😉
I Went For A Double-Dose Of…
DEPECHE MODE
…After That.
I Went Old-School When I Hit-Up…
“STORIES OF OLD“
…And Then Went Oldest-School ((DEPECHE MODE Wise)) With…
“JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH“
😀 😀
Trust Me, My Peeps, Those Two, Back-To-Back, Are A Wondrous Walking Combination, Fo SHO!
😉
I Decided To Stay In The Same Neighborhood…
…Musically Speaking…
…When I Went For A Little…
ERASURE
…And Their Immortal ((If You’re An ERASURE Fan)) Jam…
“VICTIM OF LOVE“
😀
Let Me Guess…
…You’ve Never Heard The Words ERASURE And IMMORTAL In The Same Sentence?!
I Kinda Figured That One, Kids, I Really REALLY Did.
😉
TOM PETTY
…Was Up Next, As I Wanted To Slow-Down The Pace Just A Touch.
So I Went With…
“FREE FALLIN’“
😀
That One Has Been A Fave-Fave Since Its Initial-Release…
…And Has Yet To Get Old To Me.
That’s What Great Tunage Is Supposed To Do, Right?!
RIGHT!!
😉
I Wanted To Pick-Up The Pace Again, But Not TOO MUCH…
…And I Had The Perfect Song In Mind…
“TOO SHY“
by KAJAGOOGOO
😀
That’s Another Fave-Fave With Major “Lasting-Powers” Fo SHO!
It’s A Song That Always Makes Me Smile…
…And It’s Also A Perfect Walkin’ Jam!!
😉
I Had My Next Jam Already Picked-Out, As I Knew I Wanted To Kick The Pace WAY UP Before I Went Into My Cool-Down/Cruising Mode.
What Was It, You Ask?!
“PART-TIME LOVER“
…From The Man Himself…
STEVIE WONDER
😀
You Must Remember, Kiddies, I’m A Child Of The ’80s…
…And That One Is My All-Time FAVE From Mr. WONDER!!
He’s Had A Ton Of Fantastic Jams…
…But That One Reminds Me Of MY OWN Past, As I Remember When It Was BRAND-NEW!!
😉
Finally…
…It Was Time To Cool-It-Down Before Calling-It-Quits.
I Ended-Up Selecting A Song I Hadn’t Listened To In Quite A While.
It Simply Fit What I Was Wanting To Do So Well.
My Final Jam Of The Morning Mix, Was…
“LET IT BE“
by THE BEATLES
😀
Talk About A GREAT Early Morning Stroll, My Peeps.
GREAT, Indeed.
😉
Have ANY Of YOU Been On A Morning Walk-About?!
I’m Sure SOMEONE Has To Have Done So!
If You Have…
…Did You Jam-It As You Kicked-About?!
WHAT/WHO DID YOU LISTEN TO?!
I’d Love To Know, Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!
