A Stroll Though Memory, Time and Politics With Stops Along The Way
Purely for fun, I’m picking one movie from every year of my life. 1944 had some wonderful films, but in a year of great movies, I’m choosing Laura both because of the great script and a wonderful theme song. It starred Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney and Clifton Webb in a film with many disturbing themes including the detective falling in love with a portrait. If by some miracle you have never seen the movie, I won’t spoil the ending.

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.
