Forever Hollywood

Los Angeles, CA - kc - Monday, June 26th, 2006 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

One of the things that's fun about California is juxtapositions. On the tour of the stars' homes, I learned that Mick Jagger used to live across from Elvis Presley and, given another year or two, Sly Stallone and Ella Fitzgerald would have been neighbors. This goes on after death! Johnny Ramone is right next to Hattie McDaniel! (This, btw, is the Forever Hollywood cemetery, right around the block from Paramount Studios.)

(These swans seem to really like hanging around the black marble.)

Plus: A gracious farewell.

Cecille B. DeMille--It came to this??

Need I say more?

Mel Blanc - the closest I ever came to having a Messiah. Rest well, dear friend, you worked hard and deserve a happy eternity.

Picture if you will, for a minute, the residents of this cemetery living together in eternal peace and harmony. I see a Cecil B. DeMille movie such as the Ten Commandments set with touches from Gone With the Wind, while a Johnny Ramone soundtrack plays in the background, and all the voices you hear are saying things like "Cut! That's a wrap!", "Ehhh, what's up, Doc?", "Baaad ol' puddy tat", "You long-eared varmint" and "Ándale! Ándale! Arriba!"

The afterlife must be so cool. I will definitely try to take as long as possible to get there, but I will not fear it.

Sue: Beautiful, poignant and weird. Thank you kc.
