Gee, notice who puts their right hand over their heart and who doesn't.
Thanks for the Dose tonight. Looks like Redford wasn't too happy to be there last night but he still did show up for his award! While everybody else is singing the National Anthem, it looks like he is not.
I have seen Tina Turner life several times & she puts on an extra ordinary show.. So vital.. she never stops shaking & moving (is was only a few years ago I saw it the last time).. I love her music..
I also like Redford professionally.. politically... well, another story. He has had a few bombs movie wise but mostly I have enjoyed his work & think he is a very handsome man. His smile melts one. I respect the fact he has NOT go for any cosmetic surgery despite the fact most men in Hollywood of his age have. His face is now a road map of sorts. he also has been true to his marriage & it is a long term one with a fine woman. I do adore suzanne Farrell.. wonder if she stayed over for the Nutcracker..
Was this televised last night or will it be shown later in the month?
Great dose. Rummy's speech was excellent.
