Oh well. It's all blood under the bridge. But what about this guy Goldsmith? What kind of sinister instinct motivates Jerry Goldsmith to wear his hair in a tiny ponytail? Like Lenny Bruce said: There's nothing more pathetic than an old hipster.

NP: Titanic (please don't hate me)

In his famous growl, Connery said to Goldsmith, "Jerry -- I want your HAIR!"

Your six so you act like a kid.
Your a teenager so you act like you have no brain.
You're in your twenteys so you act smart and mature and sometimes like a moron.
You're thirty, start getting rid of the baggy clothes, get married and have some kids.
You're fourty. Start slowing down. Show a belly.
You'te fifty. No more fun for you.
You're sixty. Get ready to retire.
You're seventy. Go fishing and shut up.
You're eighty. Well, if you lasted this long get ready to die.
You're nighty. Ehm, excuse me, aren't yuou supposed to be dead?

What kind of krapp is this? I thought we were a little bit beyoound the average norm here. We are doing the same thing that the people out there do to us. OH who llistens to film music.

I can't believe you guys get off on the appearance of another human being. That is so vain.

Another thing Goldsmith said at the Carnegie Hall concert: how sure he was that Connery had borrowed Goldsmith's own ponytail hairstyle for MEDICINE MAN!!!

< But we've never insulted our fellow posters. >

And this is something he just wrote on FSM on a thread called "R2DANIEL2 first thread at MovieMusic.com already locked!!!!"

<And let's hear it for Andre Lux. A smelly little bully who likes to kick people when they're down. A cowardly little wimp who sublimates his sadism into lynch-mob behavior because it's the only way he can feel like a macho man....> (the thing goes on but I'll spare you fellas.)

It's one thing to have the old biker ponytail, it's another to get nervous during your pops concert and start stroking the thing over your shoulder--I swear it looked like a fox stoll.

According to the classic story of Lionel Newman bringing a tub of water onto one of Goldsmith's recording sessions so he could admire himself in it, Goldsmith has always been fussy about his hair.

As far as JG is concerned, if I want to talk about his hair, I'll do it regardless of what someone else thinks. (In other words, don't be so politically correct.) That's the issue about being in the public arena - you tend to lose some of your privacy - Madonna is a case in point.

BUT...to quote George Carlin, "if you find yourself talking about snot, there are obviously some things you've missed talking about."

I also heard the story about Sean Connery/Jerry Goldsmith and the pony tail too.

And the new young wife is apparently the woman who sings the song on the Omen I soundtrack (but apparently NOT Joel Goldsmith's mother).

A little gossip never hurt anyone, as long as it doesn't get out of hand.

Click that link to see Jerry shaking his ponytail like the full-blown psychotic that he is. Stop it, Jerry. You're embarrassing me.

The bitter truth is that Jerry's hairstyle is a shameless follower of fashion. That dull *Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea* record shows an early 1960s pic of Jerry. He's sporting a crewcut---just like everyone else did in 1963. A year later and Jerry was doubtlessly sporting a Beatles shag. Let's face it: Jerry's a slave to au-courant couture. I'm surprised he's not sporting a goatee these days.

You obviously don't know me, and that may be a good thing.

You're right, Jerry doesn't need anyone to stick up for him, least of all me.

So I will let you guys continue to discuss Jerry's ponytale, clothes, marrage and whatever. After all, enquirey minds wanna know...

Later he let it grow out and adopted the Robert Redford shaggy look (as seen in the late seventies and early eighties).

He seemed to be a very nice human being.

Scroll one-third down the page to the left-side pic surrounded by green letters. It's Jerry's disco-shag from his infamous Lost Weekend phase. Dating from when Jerry was trapped under the infernal sway of Benny Ulvaeus from Abba.....Oh the horror, the horror.....

If he were still alive I would cast Peter Sellers as John Barry, pictures from the early sixties show them as twins separated at birth!

Richard Attenborough (of the Jurassic Park, Miracle on 34th Street fame).

I'm not sure about Goldsmith's actor yet, but his voice-over should be done by actor Edward James Olmos.

James Newton Howard - Jonathan Pryce (Ronin, Tomorrow Never Dies)

Danny Elfman - Michael Keaton!

George Fenton - Alec Baldwin

Randy Edelman - Harry Anderson (Night Court, Dave's World, oh you know..)

Philip Glass - Christopher Walken

Hal,
as a kid Horner spend a lot of time in England, that's probably where he got his slide accent.
