“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.

I don’t think the depression we went through is going to turn out half as bad as the affluence we’re going into. We’re going into a greater turmoil. During the depression [people had] strength brought out by adversity. Prosperity does just the opposite. All the tranquilizers have come in during a prospering period.
 
Yip Harburg, from “Is Too Much Prosperity Bad for Broadway?” by Bennett Schiff. New York Post, May 5, 1960.
