[Their names are symbolic: Alex represents the heroic and majestic leader Alexander he Great, but in this case "A-lex" - a man without law or ""a law unto himself.Then my folks got a real break when my little sister, Josie, made her entrance.She grew to love show business just as she loved everybody and everything.We toured the kerosene circuit in a tank show called ""Daniel Boone on the Trail."" Everybody doubled in brass.Dad walloped the bass drum.For some reason they teamed me with a donkey.I was a good Democrat, even in those days.Mother and Josie threw out handbills.Their smiles would have sold tickets o wooden Indians.They kept putting new stars in the flag and he Cohans kept rushing out to meet them.We had jokes to match every cornfield.We sang at every milk station.Young "MASTER GEORGIE" (Henry Blair at age 7) is a child performer, doing "Violin Tricks and Tinkling Tunes" in his family""s vaudeville show, and singing the same number and wearing the same outfit as his father did in the earlier number.She thought he had a reason for showing himself: "Maybe you didn""t want to with your mind, but maybe you wanted to with your heart.His speech displayed his strong love of America.He praised those who would fight, promising potential glory for his soldiers:...Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.Men, all this stuff you""ve heard about America not wanting to fight - wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung.
