I've seriously seen it all at this point.
The whole concept seems kinda ridiculous to me... but then again, the author does have some impressive credentials and is backed by Brown University... so who knows?
Any takers?
Send your completed performance to LSB3, and we'll post your videotaped "one man play" immediately! LOL
*WARNING*
Listening to Charles Manson speak for more than 5 consecutive minutes can result in "brain-warshin'". LOL.
Actually this looks kind of interesting. :)
This is my thought process:
In the middle of the night
go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore And try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this God knows I've never been a spiritual man Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean We all start in the streams We're all carried along By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

The end of that video is Goodnight my Angel.
Here it is.
It is my lullaby to my son...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmBMqJ9-q9A&feature=fvst
I never will be far away....
Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That's how you and I will be!!! :)
Beautiful, your child would be so happy to hear these words :)

I think William Shatner would be the best One Man play performer on this one....
Hi Purple... welcome to the blog.
I'm sorry it took your comment so long to post.
I'm having an exceptionally busy day today.
Peace...
Hi Purple. Thanks!! :)
Dill, good suggestion. What about Johnny Depp? That guy can play anything.
Also Steve Railsback did a damn good job of playing Manson in the 70's Helter Skelter TV film.
Hey Dill, did you know that the mask Michael Myers wore in Halloween was William Shatner's face? LOL.
California Dreamin'. 1967.

Did everyone know that Roman boinked the girl on the left. She will be nameless, because she doesn't even matter. She was only in the band because of her husband.
She played the tambourine. Big fucking deal. A monkey could do that.
YEAH BUDDY. She was needed. By a horny dickwad. HA HA.
Mama Cass was the only female talent in that band.
Sharon found out about it. She was pissed off. Can you blame her?
zzzzzzzz
This is the song that got me itching for California....
You all know the rest of the story.....Sigh!!! Whatever.
Dig those plastic white go-go boots! HA HA.
He would have been better off with Cilla, she could belt them out. A LOT better off. He would have been better off with so many others. What a fool.
I gotta go with Joe Pesci.
I think Joe Pesci would ROCK as Manson... for this one-man play!
And just think...
Pesci's the perfect height!!! LOL
Purple, I'm not familiar with Cilla. Is that an English singer???
I found where Paul McCartney sang one of her songs, Step Inside Love.
That's as far as I can go tonight. I'm bushed.
Cheers!!!! :)
