Now that is a talent not too many people can boast.
Does he know EVERY word, or just snippets? I love the Wizard of Oz also, and I've watched it many times, but I can't remember half of it..

Do you really think the young people think we're fun??? Only the ones with a sense of humor and intelligence..and and ...well we are fun!

I listened yesterday an interesting radio piece on the L. Frank Baum and the Wizard of Oz. Apparently, until he wrote the Wizard of Oz, Baum was a spectacular failure at just about everthing he'd tried.

It's worth a listen.

There was a movement in the 1960's to treat the Wizard of Oz as populist allegory, which is discussed in the piece.

I think it was just a fun story, myself.
