M* A* S* H*

So, I've watched the TV show so much, I can't even stand to see an episode anymore.

But last night I happened to catch the original movie on AMC.

I had forgotten alot of it. Especially the talent that was ensembled for this movie.
Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould, Tom Skeritt (sp?) and Robert Duvall, to name a few!

Radar was the only movie cast member to be a full time cast member in the series.

Was originally released in the UK as an X-rated movie and after 4 minutes were cut out got an R.

Did everybody know the theme song (instrumental in the tv show) has lyrics right?
I remembered the chorus and one verse...The rest I either forgot or never knew.

Called Suicide is Painless:

Quote:

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...

[CHORUS]:
that suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...

[CHORUS]

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.

[CHORUS]

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.

[CHORUS]

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

[CHORUS]

A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please

Dark song for a tv show. Probably why it was an instrumental for the series.

I believe the song was written by the directors teenage son!
