You Tube Videos Related To John Wayne

Hi All

I have heard the rumours of a such a place now allegedly marked as John Wayne's grave which apparently was set up so that all those who wish to frequent such a place could be accomodated.

I have no desire to visit such a place so it is of no interest to me.

Robbie you are correct I couldnt remember whether he was buried or cremated.

I know he wished to be cremated and ashes scattered at sea and secretly hope his wishes were really observed.

Mike

Robbie;

You are correct, Duke was Buried at Pacific Memorial Park in Newport Beach over looking Newport Beach Harbor where He kept His boat "The Wild Goose" in the happy days.

As a Catholic Michael Wayne Duke's oldest Son went against Duke's Wishes to be Cremated and have His Ashes put in the Pacific Ocean between Catalina Island and Newport Beach.

His Grave was Un-Marked there for 10 Years because there were Threats to Steal His Body.

Bill

Hi Bill

A recent documentary on John Wayne actually filmed at Pacific Memorial Park in Newport Beach and showed the memorial site now designated.

When you consider that Chaplin's body was stolen after his burial and the circus that still continues at Graceland with Elvis you can fully understand the reluctance of the Wayne family to disclose the real burial site.

Not a video, but related to some of the very feeble attempts to be funny in youtube, this is record low Uncyclopedia

I see what you mean. The sad thing about Youtube and Uncyclopedia is that whilst they provided internet users with the opportunity to share information with each other because of their unregulated nature they also attracted every form of low life
available. These people if you can call them that fired on every time of crap imaginable.

A recent low point which lead to a prosecution was some "human creature" who decided to video himself eating a live mouse.

I came across Youtube my accident and copied links to for various John Wayne
video shorts here but I didnt copy a direct link to Youtube as I was aware of what other material was brought up when you did a search.

It is an interesting site but be aware of the pitfalls. I think Robbie's stance of reporting obscene videos for removal to Youtube is to be congratulated.

Now the site has been sold to Google and they will depend more on advertising maybe it will be properly managed.

The link to that website that has that very strange info (if you can call it into?) just proves one thing to me........that some freak has way too much time on IT'S hands and can only try to do some injustice to a great and famous person--who cannot defend himself as the great American that he was. :uhuh2:

It's supposed to be parody of Wiktionary, and as in Wiktionary, anybody can give his/her input. Some articles are quite funny, like the one about Finland (you need quite a bit background data to fully appreciate it), but most are plain boring. Good parody or satire is a demanding form of art

Too true, I did figure it was a parady of sorts but, the problem I have with it is that people who really do not know the truth, will believe their lies.

Hi Dukepilgrim

Thanks for that comment, however it only succeeds if a group of people voice their objection, otherwise a lone voice will be insufficient and ultimately ineffective, thats why I have tried to encourage other members to report these vile videos, its very easy to do.

A couple of years ago the wife and I flew out to visit our son and his family who then lived in San Diego. While there, I told my son I only wanted to see two things during my visit. One was the Duke's gravesite and the other was President Reagan's library. They were both within easy driving distance of SD.

One weekend we left early in the morning, drove up to the Reagan library, explored it thoroughly and took a lot of pictures. Then on the way back to SD, we went through Newport and visited the gravesite. His grave wasn't all that hard to find but my wife was flabbergasted and disappointed because instead of a huge and impressive mausoleum housing Big John's remains, there was just one of those flat bronze markers on the ground. As you suggested, I suppose the Wayne family didn't want to call attention to his burial place by erecting a big, imposing structure.

By paying a small subscription fee I have managed eventually to put JW videos onto a disc which can be played separately from entering You Tube Videos.

They look awful on TV via DVD Player but at least if they are deleted I can still see on computer.

Unfortunately I cannot hear, but finally I at least see this: John Wayne in the Oscar gala 1978 (in the very end of the clip) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMEQWn1wRGo
You can only tell he's sick because he's so thin, especially from his walking you could never guess!

Nice post and link. Thanks

Thanks for the link etsija

Its funny I proberably haven't seen that link in its entirety since watching it live in 1979.

As you say apart from looking thin Duke looked it great shape. You would never have known from his time on stage with the audience that he was so deadly sick.

The strength and courage it must have taken for him to do that is beyond belief.

If you use the FireFox web browser then you can install a free plugin that will let you save Youtube videos to your computer.

I have hundreds of youtube videos save on my hard drive.
