![]() ![]() For Jack and Jackie's wedding, for instance, "you were billeted with Wilmarth 'Lefty' Lewis, the Waipole scholar who, having married an Auchincloss, was Jackie's step-uncle." Apropos of Jackie's Francophile influence on Jack's wardrobe: "Probably Jackie was also responsible for those presidential harangues about your shirts, which, he insisted, were not only unstylish but appeared to be soiled didn't you change them at least four times daily?" Anecdotes also feature the likes of Red Fay, a.k.a. This is a book, moreover, that people will either love or hate-written in the elegiac, buddy-buddy mode of Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye and, as regards Manchester himself, in the second person. I know Vandross was shown in the first one he did, which was not good either, but at least in the years after that he was just singing.Twenty years and countless upheavals later, Manchester has set out unblinkingly to revive Camelot: from the initial invocation of Malory to the photos captioned "The Perfect Couple" to the concluding thoughts on the historical Arthur and the heroic Jack Kennedy. On second thought, go to YouTube, type in "One Shining Moment 1998," and notice that Pendergrass is nowhere to be seen in it. In passing, and considering that Jennifer Hudson is following Teddy Pendergrass and Luther Vandross in singing the song, just hope that ESPN gets the tournament next year, there are 96 teams, and the tournament is nowhere near as exciting as it was this year. Is Owl City doing "The Power of the Dream" for the women's tournament? (It took a lot of research to figure both the annoying Fireflies band and that the women's tournament had a song). Sometimes the most logical things are the easiest. It would have been a fitting tribute to NCAA tournament and Pendergrass fans to have his version end the tournament this year. Teddy Pendergrass did the song for six years, and he died in January of this year. It's just silly to end the tournament with such a thud.ĬBS does such a great job with the tournament, and included nice Dick Enberg tributes, yet they could have done a wonderful "One Shining Moment" tribute and dropped the ball on it. John Stevens would have done better, and with the right haircut he looks a little like Gordon Hayward. How many Jennifer Hudson fans were going to tune in 20 to 30 minutes after a basketball game to see her sing a two-minute song? TiVo the basketball game and miss it since it will run over, and you'll be stuck watching it online, causing no spike in ratings at all. I don't get CBS' thought process behind this. ![]() Was Jimmer Fredette even in it? I don't know since I'm too hurt to watch it again. ![]() We know she's singing it-we can tell in one second it's not Luther Vandross. Of course, showing more moments would have taken away precious time from showing Jennifer Hudson in the studio. They didn't even have the tipoff at the championship game or any announcing from Jim Nantz. ![]() With so many highlights, though, they showed only a few big moments. Having the Bob Huggins-Da'Sean Butler moment from Saturday was perfect, as were the spotlight highlights of Michigan State beating Maryland and Northern Iowa winning against Kansas. Instead, the viewers got the Jennifer Hudson who finished behind John Stevens, the beloved redhead crooner from Buffalo.ĬBS deserves a lot of blame on the production side for this too. CBS hired Hudson expecting to get the Academy Award-winning performer busting out a soulful performance previously sung by Luther Vandross. ![]()
