Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Que Sera Sera! (Whatever will be, will be) is a lyric written by Jay Livingston in the 1950s and put to song by Doris Day. In my research for an appropriate word navigator, I found Que Sera Sera the most appropriate idiom to drive the engine of this unique story of dog-eats-dog! In essence, Que Sera Sera is a realistic story built on the pilgrimage of a girl-child, Iforiti (persistence), through the stormy waters of this desperate world of masculinity. It is the expository narrative of the hazardous navigation of the ocean of this world that infant girls had to waddle-paddle through in post-independent Africa. Ironically, such inhuman practice has not died completely as it is still prevalent, despite the advent of the jet age of today's hybrid world. Que Sera Sera is the story of the betrayal by the African Fatherhood of their infant daughters as epitomized by the duo of Ifarotimi and Aaye. The duo fathers conspired against the Almighty God's will for parenthood protection, nurturing, guardianship, and mentoring of their offspring. The two devil-incarnate genealogical fathers subjected their God's precious jewelled daughters, Iforiti, Taiwo and Kehinde, to draconic enslavement of trade by barter to the marital graveyard. The novel reveals the complex intricacies that be-devilled the survivalist practice of polygamy in Africa: the do-or-die struggle amongst the antagonistic-enslaved wives in the prison harems of Ifaro and Aaye! Closely knitted to this warfare are the deadly surrealistic competitive roles played by the satellite's immediate family members to swerve the orbiting poly-family off course. Mama, Aaye's elder sister, is a classic toxic example of the African devilishness in the book. Notwithstanding, the central theme of the novel, Que Sera Sera, is embedded in the aphorism (whatever will be, will be). The book is anchored in the school of thought that human existence is pre-ordained by the Almighty creator-God-pre-destination in consequence, that a man's life is in the hands of fate - not that of any man! The duo fathers, Ifaro and Aaye, supra-usurped the function of the Almighty God by exploiting the gender vulnerability of the tender feminine creatures under their tutelage in exchange for their own selfish enterprise. Unfortunately for the fathers, they were thunderstruck by the karma law of: Whatever a man soweth, he will surely reap. The duos were squarely nailed on the cross of poverty. The embryonic girls, very early in life, had a strong faith in their invisible creator, God, through religiosity and their innate abilities. This monumental attachment was acquired through their foliage-acquaintances with their mother, by their speeches, hard work, dexterity and forth righteousness. This was an exhibition of thorough, bred-motherhood-mien, despite the aura of domineering male ego haunting their world! The sub-theme of curiosity was another competent tool that navigated the girls through the labyrinth of their life ocean! The girls were struck with curiosity virus, unravelling the veils covering the fountain of knowledge through education encompassed in books, slates, speeches, songs, Christian hymns etc. Another sub-theme is their choice of the Tripod Prism of Marshal Triangle "∆" project cum 3Gs which landed them triumphantly on the shores of their dream and future. Their guardianship motto: In God we live; In work, we forage In education, our future is guaranteed! Was pursued with vigor! Que Sera Sera became the paddling tools for the girls to navigate through the man-infested stormy waters of life. By implication, everyone's life, be you a boy or girl, is PRIMARILY in the hands of the Almighty God (Fate) and SECONDARILY in his or her own hands! Our Fate is, therefore, in our own naked hands!

Join 77241 and Norma Jeane as they interact with a cast of historical characters, including Kennedy, Mark Twain and Abraham Lincoln, as they seek to change the course of history in Norma Jeane's Wishes in Time.

Download or read book Reading Lyrics written by Robert Gottlieb and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2000-11-21 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive anthology bringing together more than one thousand of the best American and English song lyrics of the twentieth century; an extraordinary celebration of a unique art form and an indispensable reference work and history that celebrates one of the twentieth century’s most enduring and cherished legacies. Reading Lyrics begins with the first masters of the colloquial phrase, including George M. Cohan (“Give My Regards to Broadway”), P. G. Wodehouse (“Till the Clouds Roll By”), and Irving Berlin, whose versatility and career span the period from “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” to “Annie Get Your Gun” and beyond. The Broadway musical emerges as a distinct dramatic form in the 1920s and 1930s, its evolution propelled by a trio of lyricists—Cole Porter, Ira Gershwin, and Lorenz Hart—whose explorations of the psychological and emotional nuances of falling in and out of love have lost none of their wit and sophistication. Their songs, including “Night and Day,” “The Man I Love,” and “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered,” have become standards performed and recorded by generation after generation of singers. The lure of Broadway and Hollywood and the performing genius of such artists as Al Jolson, Fred Astaire, Ethel Waters, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Ethel Merman inspired a remarkable array of talented writers, including Dorothy Fields (“A Fine Romance,” “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love”), Frank Loesser (“Guys and Dolls”), Oscar Hammerstein II (from the groundbreaking “Show Boat” of 1927 through his extraordinary collaboration with Richard Rodgers), Johnny Mercer, Yip Harburg, Andy Razaf, Noël Coward, and Stephen Sondheim. Reading Lyrics also celebrates the work of dozens of superb craftsmen whose songs remain known, but who today are themselves less known—writers like Haven Gillespie (whose “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” may be the most widely recorded song of its era); Herman Hupfeld (not only the composer/lyricist of “As Time Goes By” but also of “Are You Makin’ Any Money?” and “When Yuba Plays the Rumba on the Tuba”); the great light versifier Ogden Nash (“Speak Low,” “I’m a Stranger Here Myself,” and, yes, “The Sea-Gull and the Ea-Gull”); Don Raye (“Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Mister Five by Five,” and, of course, “Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet”); Bobby Troup (“Route 66”); Billy Strayhorn (not only for the omnipresent “Lush Life” but for “Something to Live For” and “A Lonely Coed”); Peggy Lee (not only a superb singer but also an original and appealing lyricist); and the unique Dave Frishberg (“I’m Hip,” “Peel Me a Grape,” “Van Lingo Mungo”). The lyricists are presented chronologically, each introduced by a succinct biography and the incisive commentary of Robert Gottlieb and Robert Kimball.
