REMINDER, REMINDER, REMINDER!!!
As most of you probably know now, this week I began a series I’m calling “Songs You Should Probably Know.” So far, there are 76 songs that have made the cut (and many, many, many more in due time).
If there’s a song you just absolutely love and think everyone should hear before they die, you can…
I posted the transcript for this bit a few months ago on my main blog (maryslovechild.tumblr.com), so I’m posting the actual video now on both that blog and this one.
Jodie Foster
actress (The Silence of the Lambs)
“I’m an atheist. But I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don’t believe in God. We celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids. They love it, and when they say, Are we Jewish? or Are we Catholic? I say, Well, I’m not, but you can choose when you’re 18. But isn’t this fun that we do seders and the Advent calendar?”
John Lennon, 1940-1980
musician and song-writer
“Imagine there’s no Heaven.
It’s easy if you try.
No Hell below us,
above us only sky.”
— From “Imagine”
Ingmar Bergman, 1918-2007
director (The Seventh Seal)
“People think there’s a solution… If everything is distributed in the proper quarters, put into the right pigeonholes, everything will be fine. But I’m not so sure. … Nothing, absolutely nothing at all has emerged out of all these ideas of faith and scepticism, all these convulsions, these puffings and blowings. For many of my fellow human beings on the other hand, I’m aware that these problems still exist — and exist as a terrible reality. I hope this generation will be the last to live under the scourge of religious anxiety.”

Jim Gaffigan
comedian and actor (It’s Kind of a Funny Story)
“See that guy over there with an almost identical religion? I wanna kill him because my God is all about love.”
