Eddie Acuff (June 3, 1903 – December 17, 1956) was an American actor. His best-known recurring role is that of Mr. Beasley, the postman, in the Blondie movie series that starred Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake.
Born in Caruthersville, Missouri, Acuff was probably bitten by the acting bug through association with his maternal uncle, a performer on 19th century showboats along the Mississippi River. Before beginning his Hollywood film career in 1934, he performed in Broadway theatre in the early-1930s. He died in Hollywood, California and is buried in Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery.
John Nicholas 'Dick' Foran (June 18, 1910 – August 10, 1979) was an American actor, known for his performances in western musicals and for playing supporting roles in dramatic pictures.
Foran was born in Flemington, New Jersey, the first of five sons to Arthur F. and Elizabeth Foran. His father Arthur F. Foran would go on to serve in the New Jersey Senate, as would his younger brother, Walter E. Foran. Foran was a bright student while growing up, a good athlete in high school with a fine singing voice and often sang in the church choir. After graduation he attended the Hun School, a college preparatory school in nearby Princeton, and then enrolled at Princeton University pursuing a degree in geology. He played on the football team while taking courses in the arts where he develop an interest in the theater.
Foran studied music at the Leibling Studio in New York before singing on radio. After becoming a lead singer in a band and later forming his own orchestra, Foran was hired by Warner Bros. as a supporting actor (he was six feet two, with red hair). He would also croon when called upon in films such as Change of Heart (1934) with Janet Gaynor made for Fox Film Corporation. His handsome appearance and good natured personality made him a natural choice for the supporting cast. He first appeared as a singing cowboy in his first starring role in Moonlight on the Prairie (1935). Other singing cowboy features included Song of the Saddle (1936), Guns of the Pecos (1937), Empty Holsters (1937) and Cowboy from Brooklyn (1938).
Roy Rogers, born Leonard Franklin Slye (November 5, 1911 – July 6, 1998), was an American singer and cowboy actor, one of the most heavily marketed and merchandised stars of his era, as well as being the namesake of the Roy Rogers Restaurants franchised chain. He and his wife Dale Evans, his golden palomino, Trigger, and his German Shepherd dog, Bullet, were featured in more than 100 movies and The Roy Rogers Show. The show ran on radio for nine years before moving to television from 1951 through 1957. His productions usually featured a sidekick, often either Pat Brady (who drove a Jeep called "Nellybelle"), Andy Devine, or the crotchety George "Gabby" Hayes. Rogers's nickname was "King of the Cowboys". Evans's nickname was "Queen of the West."
Leonard Franklin Slye was born to Andrew ("Andy") and Mattie (Womack) Slye in Cincinnati, Ohio, where his family lived in a tenement building on 2nd Street. (Riverfront Stadium was constructed at this location in 1970 and Leonard would later joke that he had been born at second base.) Dissatisfied with his job and city life, Andy Slye and his brother Will built a 12-by-50-foot houseboat from salvage lumber, and, in July 1912, the Slye family floated up the Ohio River towards Portsmouth, Ohio. Desiring a more stable existence in Portsmouth, the Slyes purchased land on which to build a home, but the flood of 1913 allowed them to move the houseboat to their property and continue living in it on dry land.
I set the fire
Outshine the light in your eyes
Smother disinterest
You're empty at best
Don't try to save this
It always ends up the same
Met with resistance
I keep my distance
I set the fire
Outshine the light in your eyes
Smother disinterest
You're empty at best
And I can't save you
You made a choice for yourself
Step up to fall down
You're on your own now
So take back what you said. I never wanted it to be like
this, you’re pushing it, now take my word, and who are
you without all your friends? Don’t say those words, I
hate the way you scream, it’s not okay to be scared, you
Well, the grass is always greener on the other side, but
I’m breaking down these walls that divide, a life in two
just cannot stand, why is it you can’t comprehend? Well
you come to me, you come to me, shut your mouth, I don’t
play these games, what, you come to me, when you’re
So the notes all float away, as we look into the light,
even though the lights are fading, we always seem to find
the reasons why, I never felt so alive in this town, it's
never ending, and now we're bringing it all right back to
you, so let’s break down the drums and fall in love
inside the pit, OH! NO! Nothing in the world quite feels
like this, it could’ve been something that you said, or
how you looked at me, but the eyes are glaring, music
blaring, the best day of my life, this party lies to
waste, and this affection’s gone, there’s nothing more to
say, not today, there’s nothing more to say, and this
reflection’s gone, this reflection’s gone, so I’m
sticking to my word, of how I love you, you’ve caught me
so many times before tonight, if you fall, I will catch
you, I DON’T! WANT THE PAIN! You can have it all back, I
DON’T! NEED THIS NOW! You can have it back, this party
lies to waste, and this affection’s gone, there’s nothing
more to say, not today, there’s nothing more to say, and
this reflection’s gone, so let’s break down the drums and
fall in love inside the pit, nothing in the world quite
So pick it up let’s bring it back to the start, where we
both can state intentions, we both can play our parts,
‘cause we just can’t have it any other, it doesn’t happen
as I’d like to pretend ‘cause we’re here to bring the
madness and we’re here to the end, but we just can’t have
it any other way, so bring the noise, we’ve got the
voice, to make a scene, I am your friend in all of this,
I have you right here where I want you, do you get it,
don’t you get it, understand I’m too hard to miss, it’s
not a “let’s just make a deal”, it’s now a “welcome to
the real world”, how weird is this, I’ve been thinking of
a place to call my own, and what is left to find, but a
couple of hundred kids that lose their minds, it doesn’t
happen as I’d like to pretend ‘cause we’re here to bring
the madness and we’re here to the end, but we just can’t
have it any other way, so bring the noise, we’ve got the
voice, to make a scene, I am your friend in all of this,
I have you right here where I want you, do you get it,
don’t you get it, understand I’m too hard to miss, it’s
not a “let’s just make a deal”, it’s now a “welcome to
Throwing away,
The image that you portray,
Won't keep me from anything,
And everything that I've been wanting to say,
Because I know you,
For who you really are,
And I guess that,
Growing up and moving on is,
Easier said than done
So don't say you don't know,
Who gets to ride shotgun,
Because you know,
It's never enough for this long drive home
If this is your town,
Then don't expect me to be sticking around,
You know that I am not the one to fight,
Fight for some common ground,
'Cause I know you,
For who you really are,
And I guess that,
Growing up and moving on is,
Easier said than done
So don't say you don't know,
Who gets to ride shotgun,
Because you know,
It's never enough for this long drive home
So when the walls come crashing down,
Just make sure you're around
And when the confidence takes over
Don't call on me
So when the walls come crashing down,
Just make sure you're around,
I'm just telling you that I won't,
I won't take the fall for you this time
And we look towards the wrong things, yet right brings us
back to the start, and focus ties us, up to the chain of
regret, torch this scene ‘till we get, burnt, we’ve lost
ourselves, over and over again, it’s always easier when,
you’ve got back-up in the end, ‘cause this time’s ours,
I’m begging you to not forget, don’t say goodbye and just
run, I’ll knock ‘em down when I’m done, and we’ve got to
cut you loose, she’s got you in her noose hanging, I’ll
give you scissors, tough crowds won’t let up but,
together we’re brothers in this, if you grab the
pictures, I’ll take the wheel, we’ve lost ourselves, over
and over again, It’s always easier when, you’ve got back-
up in the end, ‘cause this time’s ours, I’m begging you
to not forget, don’t say goodbye and just run, I’ll knock
‘em down when I’m done, THEY CAN’T TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK
Your cloud is raining on me too, and it’s getting far
along and taken, the best of me that dried it from
behind, last time it burned me up in flames, this time
I’ll put it out with rain from, the best of me that
turned and watched it die, I run away, from your words,
your words are worse, you’re so distracting my life
today, I feel this way, when you’re in the same room I, I
don’t think I could last another day, I think it’s time
to realize, to rise and fall’s a part of life, we have to
go back and start all over, to late to try to start
again, it’s never late enough to end this time, and start
all over, I run away, from your words, your words are
worse, you’re so distracting my life today, I feel this
way, when you’re in the same room I, I don’t think I
The look in my eyes, the feeling of ‘right’, that you
just stole away from me, because you do that every time,
the wound back of where you stabbed, and that’s the pain
of, that’s the pain of beauty, and that’s the way it
should be, I won’t settle for this, are you even sorry?
For the rest of our lives, I will TAKE YOU DOWN! Make
believe that this is all for me, I’ll falling to, to your
knees, and you’re wrong, did you miss me today? Did you
miss me today? Hey there, did you miss me? Did you think
about me like I thought about you? How does it feel to be
alone? Did you ever even notice all the things I’ve said?
All the things you’ve read? Those days meant nothing to
me, and nothing to you, make believe that this is all for
me, I’ll falling to, to your knees, and you’re wrong, did
you miss me today? Did you miss me today? You always run,
you run away, you’re such a drama queen, you always run
away, you’re such a drama, drama queen, make believe that
this is all for me, I’ll falling to, to your knees, and
you’re wrong, did you miss me today? Did you miss me
And I,
Open up my eyes
To a world best left behind,
I'm seeing all of the wrong reasons,
Keeping this alive,
Self doubt is on display,
You may just disagree,
That's all you can convey,
But I can guarantee,
You're burning bridges and no one will help you today,
Today
I've gone over and over this,
My words are stronger than both your fists, you know,
What doesn't kill us makes us,
We've made our changes but,
This is who we are
You're just a faint-hearted vessel,
Who stepped on my tail,
You're still trying to fight battles,
That get you nowhere
You think you've found your way,
You think you understand,
You think you're here to stay,
But on the other hand,
The only is problem is nobody cares what you say,
Today
I've gone over and over this,
My words are stronger than both your fists, you know,
What doesn't kill us makes us,
We've made our changes but,
This is who we are
My world's a righteous place,
Respect comes number one,
You live behind the shadows,
Enslaved until you're done,
You make me want to scream,
Just know that I define,
I draw the lines that you read between
I've gone over and over this,
My words are stronger than both your fists, you know,
What doesn't kill us makes us,
We've made our changes but,
Six years, still here, never turning back, friends stand
by friends, never losing track, it’s now or never so
we’ll never let go, we’ll make a stand we’ll never stop,
it’s in our hands, fight to the top, it can get ugly but
we’ll always conquer, for just today we’ll change the
world and, this life we have chosen has just begun, we’ll
make a stand, it’s in our hands, remember this name we
So kick your feet back and try to keep it on track, why
can’t you see that my life just isn’t like that? Give and
take to the point that I brake, cause it’s you or it’s
me, is this where you wanted to be? Let go of all of it,
or do you really want to be the fall of it? And after all
you just can’t shake the decisions that you’ll have to
make, it’s been a long time baby, long time since you let
me know that if this is how it has to be, then nothing’s
more than you could ever do for me, it’s the one-two hit,
the final shot you just can’t miss, and if you’re lucky
this time maybe you can carry on like this, you said
you’re faced with the one thing that you’ll never get
right, that’s how you wanted to be, you said you’re faced
with the one thing that you’ll never get right, you’ve
You know you're not who,
Who I expected you to be,
And you'll agree,
That it all just happened so fast,
And I swear to you it won't last,
But it got me thinkin',
That if we just let go, then maybe we can,
Turn it all around
We both know what it feels like,
To see eachother lose the spotlight,
We both know what it feels like
And after everything, you're still in my life
I see you're see-through,
I see your seasons change, and you still feel the same
but,
Your heavy heart has seen its end,
And you and I can't pretend that,
This isn't over,
In fact this lie has only just begun,
So we should just let go,
'Cause this whole thing's outdone
Turn it all around
We both know what it feels like,
To see eachother lose the spotlight,
We both know what it feels like,
And after everything, you're still in my life
You construct me with your lips,
You knew exactly what was coming,
You designed your plan then left behind a mess,
You construct me with those lips,
You knew exactly what was coming,
You designed your plan then left behind a mess
We both know what it feels like,
To see eachother lose the spotlight,
We both know what it feels like,
I'm learning how it feels
To be lost without it
I've learned that nothing heals
And I'm pissed about it
I'd hold it close to me
And I'd never let it go
I hope there's hope for me
When my back's against the ropes
'Cause Maybe you think that I pushed too hard
But you said you'd go twice as far
I can't believe I lost the pieces that fit to make my
name
'Cause every city sings a different song
To me it's all the same
Every time I sing out
I know the words but
I always say something else
And every time I scream out you will understand
That everything is worth more
Than what you make it seem
But your actions speak louder to me
Maybe you think that I pushed too hard
But you said you'd go twice as far
You did your best to put me on
You did your best to put me on
What are you waiting for?
This world has been falling apart for too long
