What does it mean to you?

What does it mean to you?

It's a Green Day song with a catchy beat?

Or do you mean what it "really" really means?

If I tell you, the little black helicopters will take you to GTMO.

 

[Abelian Sea]

That sure sounds familiar. Isn't it a street famous for many wildly ambitious people going there and most of them failing miserably, like some Hollywood-related street in Los Angelos?

Sunset Blvd in Hollyweird.

Green Day tune? I beg your pardon?

My favorite rendition is of Tony Bennett doing it

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Tony Bennett

This version did not chart but
In 1934, it was a # 6 hit for Jan Garber
Sung in the film "Moulin Rouge" by Constance (no relation) Bennett
Words by Al Dubin and Music by Harry Warren



I walk along the street of sorrow
The boulevard of broken dreams
Where gigolo and gigolette
Can take a kiss without regret
So they forget their broken dreams

You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow
When you behold your shattered schemes
Gigolo and gigolette
Wake up to find their eyes are wet
With tears that tell of broken dreams

Here is where you'll always find me
Always walking up and down
But I left my soul behind me
In an old cathedral town

The joy that you find here you borrow
You cannot keep it long it seems
Gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams



Here is where you'll always find me
Always walking up and down
For I left my soul behind me
In an old cathedral town

The joy that you find here you borrow
You cannot keep it long it seems
But gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams

That is cool.



...now, is anyone going to clue me in as to why this is in the Conspriacy section? Or should I just continue to enjoy the bliss of ignorance?

 

[AtlasShrieked]

conspiracies involve paranoia, no?

there is much paranoia going around here.


look at the tools who hide?

...there is more here than meets the eye.

 

[AtlasShrieked]

That is cool.

you do know how to use the little arrow on the bottom right? to view more videos? one has to wait until the video is over or fully loaded for the arrow on the bottom right to function as a gallery.

I love the "Left My Heart In San Francisco" video

Tony Bennet has made an incredible comeback.

What I find especially odd is that he eclipsed singers of his day who were much more popular than he ever was.

Now speaking as someone who lived through the 60's and eary 70's, what I find disturbing is that Neil Diamond is making a comeback with some young kids, too.

What is wrong with you kids today?

Can't ya'll hear what theatrical nonsense that mediocre talent offers?

What's next kids?

A revival of Gary Pucket and the Union Gap?

Green Day tune? I beg your pardon?

Different Boulevard of Broken Dreams:

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

GREEN DAY LYRICS - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Excellent song.

It's also that painting/poster with Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and, I want to say Bogart, but I'm not sure.... where they're sitting at a coffee shop counter at night.

[jillian]

[AllieBaba]

And isn't that Elvis, too?

 

[editec]

Looks like Elvis, James Dean Marilynn Monroe and Bogart to me.

What does it mean to you?

The first thing that comes to mind is a looter on a New Orleans boulevard who has just realized the levies broke.
