“Over the Rainbow” with Hillary

September 22, 2016 ypadmin

For Yip’s son Ernie Harburg, Hillary Clinton is the feisty girl named Dorothy. and the song “Over the Rainbow” is a mantra for social justice, immigration, anti-bigotry and for believing in the right of home to be anywhere you land. The rest, including Trump, is all humbug. Read all about it in Nancy Cohen’s “The Song – ’Over The Rainbow’ with Hillary – One Son’s Dream” in the Huffington Post.

On the lyric for “It’s Only a Paper Moon” –

It’s my philosophical outlook. Shakespeare said it in a different way: “All the world’s a stage” and we’re poor actors who strut and fret an hour upon it. Life is a temporary thing, a short cruise—but if there’s love in it, that makes the short cruise worth taking. I don’t mean love in the small sense, I mean love for everybody, for your fellow man. That makes it fun and worthwhile and I wouldn’t miss it for anything.

From “A Leprechaun at Jones Beach: Yip Harburg of ‘Finian’s Rainbow’: Still Magical.” By Jerry Parker. NY Newsday, June 26, 1977.
