4:30 AM NY Philharmonic TV JAN 1
Repeating a program of moderate rousers.
Just right...having not caroused.
Can you get music to act for you?
Better than nothing.
People are always saying
Gotta get motivated!
Doesn’t that just, like,
come along?

The Town, Jan 2, 1967
They thought the year
would never arrive,
but toasting it presently
with sparkling cider
mid the steam of
Excelsior Laundry.
Mr Randall, Lillian
from the bakery,
Shy Ray from Deese
Hardware. He
didn’t stay shy,
which is why
you’re here.

The Chinese Century
For Love and Glory
-We're supposed to be into the Chinese Century,
but look at their New Years, and all the nonsense
with dragons. Dragons! Oh my!
-You're implying no more dragons to be feared,
and even slain?
-Cut it out!
-How about metaphorically? Buoy us up a bit!
-I don't deal in figures of speech.
-I bet you don't even want Mickey Rooney and
Judy Garland to find an old barn in Connecticut
and put on a show!
-Not really.
-Or Fred and Ginger to dance by signs of
railroad stations right up to Broadway's Palace?
-Toodley-doo.
-But people want a show! To see one or...
-My show's the bottom line.
-A fine and private place,
but none, I fear, do there embrace.
-Poetry! The very definition of useless.
-Let’s make a movie!
-Where I'm converted to bullshit at the end?
Buying statues for the peasants’ church?
-Better than your version.
-Mine just wins!
