Cary Grant poetry

In the actor’s biography Evenings with Cary Grant: Recollections in His Own Words and by Those Who Knew Him Best, Grant’s friend Bea Shaw told author Nancy Nelson, “Cary and Prince Ranier would call one another and tell dirty jokes. Some of Cary’s jokes were really raunchy.” Gregory Peck further confirmed, “Cary told the funniest stories, with southern accents, ethnic accents—any kind of accent. Dirty ones, too. You’d never think those things would come out of him.”
As for an example, here is a poem, that according to the memoir, was a Cary Grant favorite:

“They bought me a box of tin soldiers. / I threw all the Generals away. / I smashed up the Sergents and Majors. / Now I play with my Privates all day."

a sad day


I knew Greg, met him on a tour, and he introduced me to his carrot juice machine - that was my first time - didn't like carrot juice then but I did like him A LOT. We went to buy him some serious winter gloves somewhere in Duluth, MN and he took me to dinner. I got to stand on the stage and underneath the stage, too. I wish I'd had more time with him. He was gorgeous and talented. Now I'm sad.

Judy, Judy, Judy


Judy, Judy, Judy... Judy Konos is the one I mean
Not the famous Cary Grant quote, he uttered on the screen
In “Only Angels Have Wings”
His famous quote still rings
But Judy Konos is the one who makes my old heart sing

Patti Smith on How She Writes a Song

Patti::: Because I had so much responsibility to others. If I was writing lyrics to someone’s music, I had responsibility to that musician. I had to project beyond myself and beyond my world out into the greater world. Allen Ginsberg told me, “If you have trouble writing, just write what you mean.” [Laughs] And that’s a good lesson when you’re trying to write a song.
