Supertramp: Fool's Overture, Live

Supertramp: Fool's Overture, Live Fool's Overture is the epic closing track off of Supertramp's 1977 album Even in the Quietest Moments. Written and sung by guitarist, keyboard player, singer and songwriter Roger Hodgson, the song tells about World War II England and the lessons learned from it. The song, which is over 10 minutes long, is a collage of progressive instrumentation and sound samples. First there are excerpts of Winston Churchill's famous June 4, 1940 House of Commons speech regarding England's involvement in World War II ("Never Surrender"), and later sounds of police cars and church bells are heard. There is also a reading of the first verse of William Blake's poem "And did those feet in ancient time" (more commonly known as "Jerusalem"), ended by a very short sample of the band's song Dreamer. Performed live in 1977. User: spam_vigilante Aug 14, 2008 4:29 AM

The Wilcoxon Speech

The Wilcoxon Speech One of the most moving scenes in Mrs. Miniver (William Wyler: 1942) is its finale: the speech made by the vicar (Henry Wilcoxon) to the local community assembled in their war-ravaged church, the walls held up by braces and the summer sky clearly visible through the rafters overhead. This scene had such an impact on American president Franklin D. Roosevelt, that at his request the text was broadcast over the Voice of America in Europe and was printed on millions of leaflets dropped over German-occupied territory. The Wilcoxon speech is frequently cited in books about Hollywood's World War II films as exemplary of the kind of filmmaking that helped mobilize the United States to war in defense of its allies. Winston Churchill once said that this film had done more for the war effort than a flotilla of destroyers. User: White_Wolf Apr 22, 2008 12:05 AM
