JAMIE’S PLACE FOR STUFF

A Stroll Though Memory, Time and Politics With Stops Along The Way

La La Land

la-la

The musical is back and it is a fantasy salute to real life. Here’s to the people who dream & fail; dream & grow up to do something else; and most of all to the fools who make dreams come true (almost). This is entertainment that fits into the secret places in your heart where you laugh and cry when no one is looking. Watch it for the music & dancing if that’s your thing. Watch it for the acting (Gosling & Stone do it well). Watch it for the changing lanes motif. Watch it as a love letter to Los Angeles and the movies. It doesn’t matter why you watch it, just go and if you catch me crying during “The Fools Who Dream”, don’t tell anyone.

About Me

Retired great grandmother living in the Northwest US. Former radio Public Service Director and National Accounts Manager.

I’m a hair-dishevelled heilan’ coo,
Hamish McKay be ma name;
Welcome tae this dreichet glen
I’m cursed tae ca’ ma hame.
Depending on the mood I’m in
I’ll raise ma horns on high,
An’ if I like the look o’ ye
I’ll likely let ye by.
But should I dinnae like the look
O’ ye, then tak great care,
I’ll raise ma horns on high again,
Go on, get oot o’there!
So whether welcome yae or nae,
I’ll raise these horns sae mean,
Then ye shall ken ma meaning
By the twinkle o’ ma een.
