Song of the Birds (1949)

The Man in the Moon weeps a river of magic tears to revive . . .

[6/10 · 10 October 2020]

. . . a blue bird chick half a day after Little Audrey shoots it stone cold dead with her pellet rifle to close out SONG OF THE BIRDS. If your family is at all like the one in which I grew up, the first trip under the Golden Arches after a SONG OF THE BIRDS viewing will be marked by one or more sobbing tykes trying to resuscitate the chicken nuggets in their Happy Meals. Even Today, if I go to Mickey Dee's by myself, there's usually at least one nuclear unit suffering these media-induced pangs of remorse, second-guessing and even wailing recriminations--all brought on by the perfidious SONG OF THE BIRDS!
