"A Raisin in the Sun"

I love the play and the movie...but I love the poem that the title is based on best...because i love LH!


Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Ray, Jaime Foxx Rocked that Role...

You are correct! Go ahead!!

Over at the Roundup...we follow the Davy Crockett rule:

Be always sure you are right - then go ahead.

So if you know....go for it! I hate delaying others' instant gratification!

"Yes, I think Coburns career actually got better after the Flint films, thankfully.  It's been a while since I've seen The President's Analyst, but will try to revisit it when/if it airs on TCM. "

"I love the ringtone on those two films.  But I can't watch them anymore because they ruin my happy memories, especially Our Man Flint.  You might want to try The President's Analyst. "
