1. "Video-"A Century of Fascination""
Posted by Kat on Aug-16th-02 at 2:25 AM
Over the weekend, when I had no A/C, I stuck in the K.Souza video tape, and re-viewed Lizzie Borden A Century of Fascination. Maybe because it was August and HOT(?).
At the end, during the miles of credits, they played this song, which seemed to me the most poignant part of the entire program.
Read these lyrics, and see for yourself...
It seemed as if this song was written for Lizzie...& whomever picked it to follow the video, was a genius.
THE WHO
Behind Blue Eyes--Pete Townsend
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Wow, powerful stuff when you combine it with Lizzie!!! That is so fitting for her whether she is guilty or not!

What an insightful choice, so surprisingly appropriate. (Not Pinball Wizard though)

Too bad the vid itself is pretty tough going, in a kind of "poor man's Ken Burns" mode. I've had it for a couple of years, now, and I find it almost snooze-inducing.

Funny you mentioned that.
I did have the BEST 1/2 hour NAP!
(BTW: Don't you know all those people?)
