The Prince of Wales’s younger brother, George, finding his true self
thru a therapist, his alter ego. in a magnificent un- stammering role
curing George’s stammer, enabling his ascension to Buckingham
Palace.....

To confront Adolph’s blitzkrieg, realize his worth as a “monarch”
and role model husband and father....his speech impediment but a blink in the evolution
of the species.
“Come the Revolution” the therapist himself plagued by false credentials
and opposition by the Archbishop of Canterbury realized his divine presence
by having the Prince come to grips with his stammer.

Likewise in “The Miracle Worker” Annie Sullivan captures Helen Keller’s
heavy physical “stammers” ,bringing the planet a once despondent blind “genius” to the surface,
worthy of the best in “moments of personal discovery”
In order to get what Pete Seeger calls “notice”, didn’t Harry Houdini dive off a
Coney Island high board unto a postage stamp size pool?
Roseanne Barr scorching her own craving for comic ”notice” suffer one or two nervous breakdowns.
Bob Dylan sounding a lot like Babe Ruth in his narcissism
And the sixth Liverpool Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe seeing thru the
trappings...morphing as a garbage collector...and finding himself
as a painter.

“What do you want?” asked the fab five’s first manager that night
at the Liverpool New Year’s Eve festivities ,the Mersey ebbs and tides
sounding off the board walk.

What a heavy toll to pay for Pete Seeger’s “notice”
Don’t you think, Gunga Din?
Therefore the Prince of Wales signed off on the “King’s speech” for an alliance with
For Wallis Smpson, a twice married San Dieagan for the society
laden trappings of the Waldorf Towers and the parasitical life style
of Elsa Maxwell’s social network..
But who’s to say...,,, morphing into the Duke of Windsor role,
he knew in his youthful angst he was no match for his younger
brother’s stammer..
“Long live the King”
Be inspired by the belief that life is a great and noble calling
Not a mean and groveling journey But a lofty and elevating
Destiny. .
