The mention of Al Jolson got me a bit nostalgic. I loved the films of his life which starred Larry Parks. L.P. was one of my childhood heroes and I know it's silly but I got quite upset when he died and the news reporter announced it almost as a throwaway item like "if anybody knows who that is." I even wrote a poem about it - how sad is that?
