Around the bend......the Bad Boys of Summer
"Guards with semi-automatic assault rifles pace before the razor wire. Their eyes are trained on the men below: gangbangers, thieves, and murderers who converge on a dusty diamond inside the yard.A man who killed his wife stands on the pitcher's mound. A jailhouse gladiator squats behind the plate. A dope dealer turned preacherman coaches from the dugout. Behind the backstop, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Nuestra Familia and the Crips and Bloods look on. This is San Quentin baseball".

Meanderer, have you ever seen the 2003 movie "Around the Bend?" It has some pretty bad reviews, but I don't always believe reviews.
"Christopher Walken has become so expert at finely tuned walk-ons that he rarely stays around for a whole movie. His cameos are like the prize in a Cracker Jack box: You don't buy the ticket to see Walken, but you keep rummaging around for him. In "Around the Bend," he has a role big enough to move around inside, and he reminds us what a very good actor he is. The movie, unfortunately, doesn't really work...."

I think I've recently become a Christopher Walken fan, after reading some about him, and watching his "unusual" dance video. (I don't watch many movies, but did see The Deer Hunter.)
Originally for Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim
No, Nancy, I haven't seen the movie.

The Reach of Speech....just around the bend....
The Reach of Speech By Jim
…we note the first word….and the last…aghast. A thousand yaps are worth one pic…we love to squawk.
At first we imitate adult’s …baby talk….later please them with a word…of our own.
Never taught to listen…ever. For now, our words do not…fall on deaf ears…this will go on for years.
Until one day we speak alone…in company with other’s words…mixing as one…noise. Boys will be noise.
…at last we find a can of ‘word polish’….and apply with a tongue…liberally. Vocally…we are “there”.
Soon, we are skilled at speech…eager to talk…to teach …the world’s masses…gathered in classes.
Until comes old age…the last stage of …speech…. no longer within reach. One day…what we have to say
becomes….irrelevant to the world’s ear. Sad, but true…they do not want to hear me squawk…baby talk.

Cash and Nelson take turns on songs associated with each respective artist, usually with the other performing harmony or occasionally verses. Willie breaks a string and borrows Johnny's. Johnny says "That's the first time it has been played". (43 minutes long and replays at 43:38)
