I have an idea: every year, on the anniversary of JOHNNY's death, all America should stand for ten minutes and recite HIS FINAL MONOLOGUE. It should be taught in every school, as Shakespeare's plays and Lincoln's speeches were, as a TESTAMENT TO THE AGES. Imagine the surpassing dignity, the solemn pride of the occasion, as millions in unison say:
Around the studio (studiostudio [Lou Gehrig echo]), we are still (stillstill) on an emotional high (highhigh) from last night (nightnight)....
I further propose that a taxpayer-paid copy be sent to every school child in America -- with a foreword by GEORGE W. BUSH.
I repeat: JOHNNY'S DEAD. Now may we PLEASE SHUT UP?????
