The Great Desert...T.E. Lawrence...I've read that he was involved in Muslim Freemasons...a lot of these guys were in the Freemasons, Tyrone Power, Tony Curtis played Harry Houdini (who was a freemason), Tom Mix, Oliver Hardy, WC Fields, Oscar Wilde, HG Wells and the obvious ones. I just read that Salvador Dali worked for Disney in 1946 (they were friends)

Nice hookup between Lawrence of Arabia and The Great Desert!

You know, the rituals of freemasonry revolve around an ancient master craftsman from Tyre named Hiram Abiff, who was killed by a murderous blow to the head during the course of building King Solomon's Temple. The crushed head theme is found over and over again in the Beatles work, but especially on Sgt Pepper.

Prof. Henry Higgins teaches refinement in speech and manner to Eliza Doolittle (cockney accent) My Fair Lady is the musical. Like the Ashers?

Eliza Doolittle, the flower girl, was played in 1964 by Audrey Hepburn. Ms. Hepburn portrayed a real-life nurse (Sister Luke) in 1959's The Nun's Story, and was herself a volunteer nurse at age 16, during WWII, at a Dutch hospital, where she tended Allied soldiers. (One of whom was future director Terence Young, who directed her in 1967's Wait Until Dark).

Julie Andrews played Eliza Doolittle on Broadway during the fifties, but was snubbed for the 1964 film role in favor of Hepburn. Instead, that same year, Andrews starred in, and won an Oscar for, Mary Poppins.

A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway

More on Julie Andrews. In Mother Nature's Son, we hear: "Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies."

Wowie! I hear a reference to Julie Andrews, aka Mary Poppins and Maria in The Sound of Music, (which he comes right out and says).

SOO, let's take his advice and listen to what Mary Poppins says when she is flying, since that is the movie in which "the pretty sound of music" does any flying.

I don't have a copy of Mary Poppins. Anybody know if she says anything while she is flying? (Now I might have to rent the movie).

I can't remember any flying songs. I think I remember her arriving after a storm..she did sing Stay Awake...a Disney movie. I also found Richard Lindner's Untitled collage with split head ...and a painting called Disneyland.

Well I rented Mary Poppins and watched it last night. She doesn't say anything when she is flying. The song that plays, both when she arrives in the beginning and when she leaves at the end, is "A Spoon Full of Sugar." Looks like a dead end, unless the lyrics to Spoon have something I am not seeing.

well...sugar was a common vehicle for LSD..back in the day
