RANTOMATIC: Ricky Gervais’ Monologue – 2020 Golden Globes
byVanderleunonJanuary 6, 2020
“You’ll be pleased to know that this is the last time I’ll be hosting these awards so I don’t care.”
“So if you do win an award, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, right? Come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your god, and fuck off. OK?”
Watch Ricky slip the stilleto into the Hollywood crowd. Watch the audience reaction as they realize they are being “described.” My kind of guy.

Instant commentary via the ever-popular Timcast via a tip from Dr. J:
Got a real prob with british folk, barely understood half of what he said.
None the less, stickin it to hollysnobs is always good.

They get giddy when called useless, talentless, vain, hypocritical, self-important moron perverts. Tom Hanks did a great impression of a man who couldn’t decide whether he liked getting the stick up his butt.
Comedians will be part of what makes a turnaround for America. By their DNA, they must tell the truth. Most don’t, but then they suck at what they do.
RG is my new hero.
I didn’t/don’t watch the Globes but I enjoyed the links above.

I do understand Brit, because I lived there for three years.
This guy is NOT a conservative by any measure. But he had their number. These people are entirely wrapped up in their ego, and it could not have been pleasant for them to hear.

We have here a lovely example of English wit. True,Gervais is cocooned in his wealth.
But da-yum,his entire speech,beginning to end,smacked these smug pretentious cloud-dwellers repeatedly in the mug.
I especially enjoyed Tom Hanks discomfort.
The Brits know a thing or 2 about hypocrisy. It’s their ability to ridicule with humor that makes them distinct.
Plus the accent,it’s devastating.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
