This weekend I partied with my bandmates and went back to Wichita to
give out media packages for a show we are planning there. On Sunday I
settled down to watch movies. Whenever I watch a group of movies I
tend to make them related somehow. This weekend I watched Forrest Gump
and Volunteers. (Tom Hanks). It got me thinking about his Academy
Awards speeches. I remember when he got an award for the AIDS movie
how his cause was AIDS and when he got an award for the Green Mile his
cause was slavery and I think when he got an award for Saving Private
Ryan his cause was WWII. It's like that with most people in Hollywood.
I think the guy who did that movie with the red coat - Snyder's List
- cause was the Holocaust. Later on to be followed by another cause.
Not only do Actors and Actresses have a cause for a movie, sometimes
they have a girlfriend or a wife -- for just the length of the movie.
Maybe it's all written in a contract whenever they sign on for the
movie. I can just picture Keanu Reeves looking over a contract
"One relationship with Britney Spears (marriage optional followed by
divorce), the cause will be flood victims, the color of the ribbon
will be purple, the car will be a Mercedes and the soda will be
Sprite."
He'll look it over and say ,"OK where do I sign - and can I get
Britney in my trailer right now." That's why we all laugh at people in
Hollyweird. Their accomplishments seem nothing short of a movie
obligation.

Thought of the Day
Warlord - "Money is opium, opium is money, money is power, opium is power"
Tom Hanks - "I thought money was power, what was opium again?"
