Johnny poll:

 

  Proper use of the word “its”, you’ve just made me fall deeply in love with you all over again. Marry me?

I get it, yeah. And this novel/ book comparison is possibly my biggest example.

But I could have stressed more that the movie, in and of itself, is good. It's just that when compared to the novel, I get irritated. :)
And, like I said, Shelley Duvall is impressive to me in the movie. I "felt" for her and cared about her. Nicholson's "Jack Torrance"? Not at all. And that was the whole point of "The Shining" novel for me -- the reader cares very much about "Jack."


I do highly recommend that TV mini-series version of "The Shining" with Steven Weber in the lead role.

He’s the best Johnny :) 

I’ve never seen that show but I know he has nice hair, cheers :) 

Nice, I’ve heard this song before but never knew who sings it. I like it. 

I'm glad you like it.

Unfortunately for me, radio stations tend to play Jimmy Cliff's cover way more than Nash's original.
:)

The Jimmy Cliff cover isn’t so bad... just be glad they don’t repetitiously play the Holly Cole version!!!!!

I love Johnny Nash!!!  A bit of trivia: he also sang the theme song for the 1960s cartoon The Mighty Hercules.

I had NO idea! :)  Thanks for sharing, bevo!  He kicks some major rear end in that theme song! (I never saw the cartoon, I don't think.)

I love Nash, too.

Nash is almost a god to me. He changed my life, his voice and music helped me through some tough times as a youngster. I would just listen and smile. I still do. :)

Alas, I've never seen the cartoon either.  I just learned the trivia sometime after I first became introduced to Johnny Nash while watching 8-Track Flashback back in the 90s.  Have you ever seen the actual music video for the song I Can See Clearly Now?  Search it on YouTube and check out his cool 1970s boots :D

I found videos with him singing (and enjoyed watching all of them) but when I got to this one, his boots told me this is the one you wanted me to see.

Yes, nice boots!
:)

It is with a very heavy heart that I must relay this very unfortunate news 

Thanks, bevo. My heart is so heavy. Nash was, and is, a life changer for me. Ever since I was in fourth grade, the first time I heard him.
I'm still weeping about it. I found out last night from Randy D on another question.

Thanks for sharing here, I appreciate it.

:)
Be Well.

Lol, I’d take cash over all those options too but it’s not a choice :) 

That’s one I don’t know, thanks :) 

You betcha :)
