Good tale. As for that list, though, do you suppose AFI forgot it was doing BEST movie songs, when it chose "Wind beneath my wings", and "Gold...FINGA"? But at least it was interesting, if Audrey Hepburn did indeed sing the one of her two performances that didn't list a "sung by". That would make Audrey almost as multi-faceted as that Boss Hog actor from Dukes of Hazard, considering what she did in world war II. I don't think I've ever seen one of her movies, but she seems to have been cooler - or she wouldnt've survived her WWII role - than the other Hepburn, who, whether or not she truly planted hecklers so that she could dress them down, did seem a bit obsessed with acting grand. Oh, and my other unlikely hero besides A. Hepburn and Boss Hog man is the new, de-polluted, deflated Anna Nicole Smith... who all of a sudden could be said to be Texas' answer to Parker Posey. She turns out to be a not untalented caricaturist painter with a bratty sense of humor about the middle east... and even a master mugger (the Parker parallel, beyond their Southernness). Sorry for the digression... but care to tell us (sometime) who your "underground" heroes are, Paula?

I caught the last hour or so of the show and loved it. I even got misty during the discussion of "Over the Rainbow." [Sucka!]
I can't load the website. Did Shaft make it on there?

considering what she did in world war II
Is that just a brilliant, understated joke or did she really do something in WW2?

So you had a dog from the Mountain State? I bet he didn't enjoy your music as must as this West Virginian :) I hope you get visitation rights.

"Considering what she did in WWII." That's no brilliant joke, it's the dumbass troot. Little Audrey Hepburn was a courier for the resistance, in whatever european country she was from, I believe at the age of fourteen. A lot ballsier than anything Katherine Hepburn, or, for that matter, George W., ever did. But you've got to hand it to G.W.'s dad, on the other hand, because, though the temptation during his campaigns was to ridicule the fact that his big WWII accomplishment was getting shot down, as a dive bomber pilot attacking warships, that typically just meant you weren't wavering in your duty of trying to bomb a heavily armed ship from very close range. Still not really an unlikely or "underground" hero of mine, though. But I haven't been able to dredge up what it was about Sorrel Booke (Boss Hog) that made me think he was genuinely brilliant when obituaried, but it certainly wasn't his Ivy League education or even speaking fluent Russian and Japanese and three other languages in counterespionage during the Korean conflict. (Considerably) more on subject, though, does anyone know what percentage of Gwenneth Paltrow's real voice was in the Smokey Robinson song that she (nominally) and Huey Lewis did for their Karaoke movie? Didn't make AFI's list, but I actually kinda liked that version on the radio, 'cept for the Huey parts, but have a little trouble believing that the female voice is purely or even largely GP's.
