TCM plays the most beautiful classic movies such as Lawrence of Arabia and Girl Happy; yes I know the two are very different in that one is annoyingly light and frothy and the other has political tones and racial subtext, but dangit both are good in their own respects. Girl Happy has really got me into this whole 'Elvis hype' I'm looking forward to seeing his other movies : Viva Las Vegas (1964), Change of Habit (1969) and King Creole (1958). Another Favourite of mine is Peter O'Toole, guy was HOTTT when he was younger, with the ginger hair and green eyes damn!!!! Well I love 'Lawrence of Arabia',' Becket' and 'The Ruling Class' and I cant wait for TCM to air those. And of course The IT man himself, Marlon Brando. The first time I ever saw this man act was in 'The Godfather', and he scared me. Then I saw him in 'A street car named desire' as part of my schooling at an art school and from that day on I've been a huge fan of the man, and not just because of the "Stella scene" or that tight t-shirt he was wearing. From this artist I would love to see 'The wild one'.
TOYA There are very few people in this country who have yet to hear "pump it on" , even less people know of the eccentric Ms. Buthelezi who goes by the stage name, "Toya Delazy" , the head strong songbird is the epitome of new-age pop that has some obvious hip-hop roots in terms of her styling and some of her melodies , thus making her a brand that is viable to a varied and vast market. The first time I heard her single I was watching a nondescript music show on a channel that I will never remember, when suddenly their theme song rang out and it was Toya telling me to pump it on, the following week while channel hopping I ( accidentally) came across the same show where they had her as a special guest. There I was, watching a 'uniquely' dressed individual play the piano and sing , I was bowled over with excitement ; not many of our contemporary artists show off their capabilities or musical performance range in terms of what they can do . Since the day...
