Yesterday,the surviving actors who played "Munchkins" in "The Wizard of Oz" in 1939,were on hand in Hollywood to accept their long overdue Star on Hollywoods Walk of Fame awarded to them collectively.They only made about $125 a week during filming,but made memories that lasted several decades.Joey Luft,the son of the late Judy Garland joined them in their celebration.
And speaking of "The Wizard of Oz",has any of you heard the urban legend about watching it with the volume muted while listening to Pink Floyds "Dark Side of the Moon"?Reportedly if you synchronize the MGM lions 3rd roar at the start of the film with the very beginning of "Dark Side of the Moon",a correlation between the two can be perceived.For example,when the lyric"the lunatic is on the grass" is playing,then the Scarecrow is laughing maniacally and dancing in a field at the same time if you synchronized the CD and DVD properly.There a dozen more similar scenes and I have never tried it but if I get bored-who knows?

I wanted to be the first to add. In history we learned that the book/movie has many clue about the era. There is a whole book dedicated to the study of this movie and the era it was created in and the symbolic meanings On top of that we learned about the movie there is no person being hung in it its a stage hand in the background.
YouTube has this posted in several forms (broken down into 5-6 minute segments for easier downloading.) It is very ineresting how these pieces seem to match up thematically. It is not a perfect match-up by far, but it has its moments.
FYI
Oh...
If you look for it, I typed in "Pink Floyd Wizard of Oz" in the search field.
Thanks for the info y'all!!!I plan on trying the Dark side of the Moon/Oz trick someday myself.i am on dialup so Youtube is You dont lol
