James Douglas Muir "Jay" Leno /ˈlɛnoʊ/ (born April 28, 1950) is an American stand-up comedian and television host.
From 1992 to 2009, Leno was the host of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Beginning in September 2009, Leno started a primetime talk show, titled The Jay Leno Show, which aired weeknights at 10:00 p.m. (Eastern Time, UTC-5), also on NBC. After The Jay Leno Show was canceled in January 2010 amid a host controversy, Leno returned to host The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on March 1, 2010.
James "Jay" Leno was born in New Rochelle, New York, in 1950. His mother, Catherine (née Muir; 1911–1993), a homemaker, was born in Greenock, Scotland, and came to the United States at age 11. Leno's father, Angelo (1910–1994), who worked as an insurance salesman, was born in New York to immigrants from Flumeri, Italy. Leno grew up in Andover, Massachusetts, and although his high school guidance counselor recommended that he drop out of school, he later obtained a Bachelor's degree in speech therapy from Emerson College, where he started a comedy club in 1973. Leno's siblings include his late older brother, Patrick, who was a Vietnam veteran and a lawyer.
Marion Mitchell Morrison (born Marion Robert Morrison; May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979), better known by his stage name John Wayne, was an American film actor, director and producer. An Academy Award-winner, Wayne was among the top box office draws for three decades, and was named the all-time top money-making star. An enduring American icon, he epitomized rugged masculinity and is famous for his demeanor, including his distinctive calm voice, walk, and height.
Wayne was born in Winterset, Iowa but his family relocated to the greater Los Angeles area when he was four years old. He found work at local film studios when he lost his football scholarship to USC as a result of a bodysurfing accident. Initially working for the Fox Film Corporation, he mostly appeared in small bit parts. His acting breakthrough came in 1939 with John Ford's Stagecoach, making him an instant star. Wayne would go on to star in 142 pictures, primarily typecast in Western films.
Among his best known films are The Quiet Man (1952), which follows him as an Irish-American boxer and his love affair with a fiery spinster played by Maureen O'Hara; The Searchers (1956), in which he plays a Civil War veteran who seeks out his abducted niece; Rio Bravo (1959), playing a Sheriff with Dean Martin; True Grit (1969), playing a humorous U.S. Marshal who sets out to avenge a man's death in the role that won Wayne an Academy Award; and The Shootist (1976), his final screen performance in which he plays an aging gunslinger battling cancer.
Plot
George Smith, an architect in San Francisco, is feeling "a bit flat" after completing his latest, less-than-fulfilling project: designing a warehouse for a commercial complex. George's wife, Alice, tries to cheer him up by taking him to a party of artists, but it turns out to be a gaudy, pretentious affair that leaves both of them dispirited. After a restless night, George wakes up to find himself gazing with newfound fascination at the Picasso reproductions that adorn the walls of their apartment. Overcome with admiration for a truly brilliant artist, George impulsively proposes that he and Alice fly off to the south of France to track down Picasso and thank him in person. Alice agrees, thinking the trip will prove a delightful lark. But George's desire to find Picasso turns into an obsession that starts to take a toll on their seemingly ideal marriage.
Its 1969 in my head
I just wanna have no place to go
Livin thru the sound of the dead
I'm gonna get stoned look round at my soul
I'm hearin voices in the trees
And seein footsteps in the rain
I just wanna die before I loose my dol
I have been cryin in my sleep
Cause I dont kno where i've been
I just wanna live to see another day
Hey hey hey hey [x8]
When I get my buick six
I'll see my life drop in that whirlpool
If I get to see you again
You're the only one I know
Here we go
There I stand
I'm a seed
Of a man
Dare I go
Dare I stare
I'm a seed
of a man
And then I heard a darker sound
I turned around
But it was gone
They glide across the endless day
As if to say
The time has come
The world had died
And no-one saw
And no-one tried
To see what for
And dipping thru the heavy sky
I caught its eye
It had to smile
And say I shouldn't really mind
They managed fine
For quite a while
I tried to stand
Sank to the floor
A Chinese band
Marched by in fours
They tore the flowers from my hand
And then they ran
To look for more
Hey I hate the picture 1969
Lord I hate the picture 1969
And then I heard the songs they sung
A hundred tongues
Began to shout
And then a panic in the hall
I heard them call
We can't get out
The world had died
They meant it too
And no-one cried
For no-one knew
I took a photo of the night
In black and white
In colours too
Hey I hate the picture 1969
Lord I hate the picture 1969
Its 1969 in my head
I just wanna have no place to go
Livin thru the sound of the dead
I'm gonna get stoned look round at my soul
I'm hearin voices in the trees
And seein footsteps in the rain
I just wanna die before I loose my dol
I have been cryin in my sleep
Cause I dont kno where i've been
I just wanna live to see another day
Hey hey hey hey [x8]
When I get my buick six
I'll see my life drop in that whirlpool
If I get to see you again
You're the only one I know
Here we go
There I stand
I'm a seed
Of a man
Dare I go
Dare I stare
I'm a seed
of a man
Its 1969 in my head
I just wanna have no place to go
Livin thru the sound of the dead
I'm gonna get stoned look round at my soul
I'm hearin voices in the trees
And seein footsteps in the rain
I just wanna die before I loose my dol
I have been cryin in my sleep
Cause I dont kno where i've been
I just wanna live to see another day
Hey hey hey hey
When I get my buick six
I'll see my life drop in that whirlpool
If I get to see you again
You're the only one I know
Here we go
There I stand
I'm a seed
Of a man
Dare I go
Dare I stare
I'm a seed
sundress and flowers
i got her on my mind
she gave me free sweet love
aquarius was her sign
back in nineteen
back in nineteen
nineteen sixty-nine
did you ever hear him play?
he opened up my eyes
what a glorious moment
when he kissed the sky
back in nineteen
back in nineteen
nineteen sixty-nine
did you think the world would change?
that the war would end
and freedom sing?
did you take the magic carpet ride
following a dream?
did i see you there at woodstock
or on the dock of the bay
on purple haze?
back in nineteen sixty-nine
back in nineteen
back in nineteen
do you remember nineteen sixty-nine?
back in nineteen
back in nineteen
do you remember nineteen sixty-nine
do you remember all of the magic?
it was like following a dream
back in nineteen sixty-nine
back in nineteen
back in nineteen
Well it's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year
For me and you
Another year
With nothing to do
Last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say oh my and a boo hoo
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say oh my and a boo hoo
It's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year
For me and you
Another year
With nothing to do
Another year
With nothing to do
It's 1969
[Verse 1:]
Hippies, politicals, hippies to sexual revolution
Led Zeppelin, Woodstock plastics, innocence
Jimmy Hendrix, free love and indeed sunshine of your mind
The peace movement took Chicago late
And they took four dead in Ohio
The nakedness awakening a riot
Monte Python was flying in the circus
Bliss concerts, you know the doors are open
And the Vietnam War, Bob Dylan, Electric Kool-Aid, Acid tests once more
Soul Shakedown, [?], Bob Marley, Weather The Storm
King Keezy, Jamaica and the shores
Alistair Crowley, Blowfly records
From Rocksteady to hardcore
The Gutter Punks that rock and roll adored
[Chorus:]
Every memory all around me
Every energy comes flowing to the show
It was all in me back in 1969
With my mother and my father's seeds
[?] to discovery
From the moments that I couldn't have even I began to breathe
Back in 1969
[Verse 2:]
Ska and reggae with the buddhism, good ism
This is space oddity and David Bowie listen
With the mushrooms that Terence McKenna do
The nudist colonies, never fearing [?]
Syphilites and peyote
And the play called heroin
We were noticed [?]
Women's rights, votes wagon buses
Bra burning, militant discussions
Faithful Grateful Dead and ganja
Crystal energies, something strong for the head
And lots of drugs, goo goo's and rainbows
San Francisco styles of [?]
Haight-Ashbury, Venice Beach
Janice Joplin [?]
Aldus Huxley LSD
Free speech, Timothy Leary
Doors of perception are appearing
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Black and white connection, Miles Davis in collection
Indian spirits resurrections
James Brown getting down
Onto country joe, the cointelpro file
Counterculture know how
The trip over racial violence, we can liberate from this
Give back to the land, earth, day
And announce that it works this way
Well it's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year
For me and you
Another year
With nothin' to do
Nothing here
For me and you
Nothin' here
With nothin' to do
Now last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say oh my and boo hoo
I said now I'm gonna be 22
Oh my and boo hoo hoo
It's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year
For me and you
Another year
With nothin' to do
1969
It's 1969
It's 1969
Well alright
Well it's 1969 okay

We're just sitting here with nothing to do
Well, there's nothing here for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Now, last year I was 21

Well, it's 1969, baby
Well, it's 1969, baby
Well, it's 9-9-9-teen 69
Teen 69
Teen 69
I remember sixty eight
Though I was a sperm
I had so much left to learn
So many different future heartburns
I came out in '69
Thought the world was fine but
I grew up a different guy
Since 1969
Even if I know I'm not
The melancholy kind
If I'd known what I'd find
I'd've gotten back in and stayed behind
For now I think I've seen too much
Too much to forget to
Take me back to where it's at
To 1969
Sitting in a Paris bar
I saw the Concorde crash
We were born the very same day
We were bound to fly much faster
Oh my little steely bird
Come to meet your end and
Fly me back from where we came
To 1969
No, I don't think I regret
Any single year
It's so easy to look back
I've been there and I've done that so now
Stop the custom Cadillac
Light the flashy tails and
Drive me back in style and grace
Well it's 1969, okay
All across the U.S.A.
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Well, it's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say "oh my" and "boohoo"
Yeah now I'm gonna be 22
Oh my and boo hoo
It's 1969, okay, all across the U.S.A.
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Another year with nothing to do
Well it's 1969
1969, 1969, 1969, 1969, baby
And it's 1969, baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Well it's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year
For me and you
Another year
With nothing to do
Last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say oh my and a boo hoo
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say oh my and a boo hoo
It's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year
For me and you
Another year

It's 1969
I ain't got no money, but my love is real
I'm gonna drop some acid, I wanna smoke some weed
I wanna fuck you like it's 1969.
She's got them go-go boots, she's a flower child
We could go all the way, but first you wait a while
I wanna party like it's 1969.
[Dirt Nasty:]
'69 Summer of Love, 1980 summer of drugs
Man, I shoulda been a hippie, dropped the acid with Janice and Jimmy
Do me while I hit the doobie
Flower in her ear, natural boobies
Coochie bushy as fuck, free love and the V Dub Bus
Woodstock here I come, with a bag of 'shrooms
And my loaded love gun, so huh, just relax, kick back and hit this hash
Thumbs up on the shoulder pads, you know the rules: ass, grass or cash. Stay high, stay lude, say goodbye to my bottle of Quelude.
I ain't got no money, but my love is real
I'm gonna drop some acid, I wanna smoke some weed
I wanna fuck you like it's 1969.
She's got them go-go boots, she's a flower child
We could go all the way, but first you wait a while
I wanna party like it's 1969.
[Too Short:]
Everybody's poppin bottles and dreamin about goin out with models
I spend a lot on a round of shots, I get drunk and I clown a lot
But I wish I could go back in time, back to 1969
Maybe hit a few orgies, y'all, and have unsafe sex with gorgeous broads
Yea, that's what's up, I could use my dick to express my love
Because I love you baby, that was 40 years ago I must be crazy
You wanna get your hype with me, then go far away from society
I just know want to fuck you now, let's drop out and make a love child.
I ain't got no money, but my love is real
I'm gonna drop some acid, I wanna smoke some weed
I wanna fuck you like it's 1969.
She's got them go-go boots, she's a flower child
We could go all the way, but first you wait a while
Well alright
