And now for your moment of zen. A young James Earl Jones recites the alphabet.

He looks so intent.

Here's "The Alphabet" by David Lynch.

Man, Jones was a hottie. I could hear some snickers in the background. I wonder if they were trying to get him to laugh?

What's the history of this? Is it from some 50's version of Sesame Street?

Richard Pryor's. I think every person in the world should do one of these. I'm considering making these readings a personal fetish.

When he said it, I believed it.

Oh man, Pryor's is wonderful. I vaguely remember seeing that on Sesame Street when I was a kid.

early 70s. I know, because I was there. Later on when I saw JEJ on TV I thought, hey! That's the guy from Sesame Street!

SS confused me a lot that way. I was given a children's book on US presidents, and I got mad that this book was "copying" the SS character Roosevelt Franklin.

I like JEJ's "I". And how much you wanna bet when he said "X" he was thinking "sex!" (just based on the smile he had! ;-)
