A Bravura of the Mind. Monthly Archives: February 2010. George Burns the Blunt William’s Holden. February 11, 2010. I watched Stalag 17.

My point in posting this was that watching the film illuminated a lyric ( George Burns the blunt William’s Holden ) from GZA’s 2002 song Fame. They Like Our Food. They Like Our Girls. They Like Our Style. February 2, 2010.
