OMG!!! Terry Jacks in a straight 1974 set! ROTFL!!!
ah, he's canadian.. that explains a lot. Prob from Montreal, I'm guessing. And does mime in his spare time.
Weird, I totally get a mime vibe every time I hear that song...you too?
LOL, mime vibe! I'm gonna use that!
yeah, if a mime was feeling sad and could sing, it would sound like Terry Jacks.
I saw Die Hard 3 while living in Taiwan, so it was in English with Chinese subtitles. At one point McClain (Bruce W.) & Zeus (Samuel J.) are in a commandeered taxi cutting across Central Park fields, sidewalks, picnic areas, etc.
Zeus (very agitated after yet another near miss): Are you TRYING to hit these people!?!?
McClain: NO! ...well maybe that mime.
I burst out laughing at the mime joke, for about half a second, because I was the only one in the theater who got it. Guess mime humor gets lost in the translation.
Shakes The Clown, the "Citizen Kane of Alcoholic Clown Movies" features a subplot (of sorts) that involves mime bashing by phobic rodeo clowns. I laughed at first, until I realized I was shocked at the portrayal of the insipid mimes and their intended link to gays.
despite that major flaw -- and, let's be honest,
many others in the movie -- I laughed out loud several times. Esp at Florence Henderson and LaWanda Page.
