We started watching these videos, and just had to share. We've listed the cream of the crop, so to speak. We did a "John Wayne" search on YouTube, and went out 13 pages to cull these out - some of the ones in the list were in poor taste, and others totally unrelated to our Duke. So grab a cup of coffee (or whatever) and sit and have a fun time -

Dean Martin and John Wayne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBQ1T1sQQ_E&feature=related) (this one is GREAT!)

Dean Martin and John Wayne singing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOX--uekZ9Q) (this one is even better)

John Wayne hates lung cancer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t0GE-VnFhM)

America - Why I Love Her (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sekHkR5BKOY)

. . . and to end with a bit of humor . . .
Dude (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLxBBl1a0JU)

Chester :newyear: and the Mrs. :angel1:

Hi both,

The link including those links,
is fantastic.

Already seen a few, and it really shows,
how well he and Dean, got along.

Thanks for a great post,
and looking forward to watching them
over and over again.

Best Wishes

Wonderful, just wonderful!

And that Dude piece was a kick!

Thanks,

Hi

Thank you for these! My favorite so far is the Shooting Star video. The song is good too. :) :)

These clips do kinda bring a tear to ones eye when watching the great one in action. :)

Those were great, Chester or was it the Mrs.............. Have a great day.

Cheers B)

They were excellent.

Are there any other good clips of duke online in the form of the tribute or shooting star video?

Excellent post there Jim!

Just spotted this post (where have I been?) - Wow - Thanks for the nostalgia, Jim and Sue. This gives me goose bumps!
Cheers - Jay :D

If you haven't been to YouTube yet, you better get there quick - HERE'S (http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,216714,00.html) a little article about the site.

It figures....Figures that someone would think of looking into a way to try a lawsuit over the sharing of PUBLIC INFORMATION. If they sue on this, then whats the reason to keep the Internet around?

The 'tube' has obviously been a source of
great enjoyment for thousands of folk.
As usual, it doesn't take long for someone to come along
and try and spoil the fun!!!!

Hi All

I look a cift through youtube and was disappointed at how little there was in it relating to John Wayne.

I was however quite disturbed at some of the disgusting videos sent in that were anti John Wayne. I took 5 minutes to register and report about them and hopefully they will be removed, I hope others on this board will do likewise. I am all for freedom of speech and expression but I feel that it comes with responsibility.

:agent:

There's a video showing John Wayne's grave. Is it genuine? I remember reading somewhere that the grave was left unmarked not to attract unwelcome visitors

Hi,

It was originally un-marked,
but is now marked with a plaque.
I have no wish to see this video,
but you can bet it's genuine,
There are many images available
showing Duke's resting place.
I for one, have never posted one,
and have no desire to do so,
unless, Duke Pilgrim, needs this confirmed!

I believe the grave is unmarked although the alleged site of were his ashes are supposed to be has been identified by some fans


Mike

Hi,

Duke's resting place is marked, with a plaque
There are various images readily available if you look on the net.

Didn't want to have to do this, but
this point obviously, needs to be cleared up,

Also please refer to,
the Epilogue, in the book

John Wayne: My Father by Aissa Wayne,

where she actually, gave clues as to where Duke rested,
at that time, it was unmarked.

DukePilgrim

There are no ashes, John Wayne was buried and not cremated, this was against his wishes however.

:agent:

I enjoyed the videos. Really liked the one on Yakima Canutt. Didn't he get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

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. :angry:

His Grave was Un-Marked there for 10 Years because there were Threats to Steal His Body. :fear2:

Bill :cowboy:

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.


Mike

Not a video, but related to some of the very feeble attempts to be funny in youtube, this is record low Uncyclopedia (http://www.uncyclopedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne)

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. :tongue1: :tooth: :kiwibird: :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.

I will check out registering and follow your lead. Cant do it tonight Carol Singing (Thankfully not ME)


Mike

I saw yesterday on You Tube a clip of Hank "Ol Mose" Worden he talked a little about John Wayne a clip of Harry Carey Jr talking about Action Shots.

Hi Guys, and Gals,

I've added a YouTube BB code that will let us add YouTube videos directly into a post. You can find it in the tool area of the reply window.

Here's a sample

All you need is the id number from the url

Enter the bold text between the brackets and you good to go!!

you can fully understand the reluctance of the Wayne family to disclose the real burial site.Mike

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.

Mike

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.

http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php and read up on it.

etsija,

Wow, thanks for that link! I've never been a big fan of the Oscars, so didn't watch that the first time around. It is really touching, especially when you realize that he died shortly after that.

aMEQWn1wRGo

I just posted the video using Kevin's instructions above - coooooool!

Chester :newyear:

I made mention of this in a different thread, but want to expand on it a little here.

Somehow, I missed Robbie's post the first time around, so I clicked on it, and there was a pretty funny clip, but when I came back and read the comments following his post, I realized something must be amiss. When I went back to the page again, there was this message across the top of the page -

This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

So what I watched was not Robbie's original link - looks like some trademark lawyer has been trying to discourage the use of John Wayne's image.I notice that the same message appears when you go to some of the links in my original post in this thread.

I guess we better find out how to save the rest of them to our computers, and fast!:smile:

This is sad, because the enthusiasm generated towards John Wayne and everything he stood for is also being discouraged, whether inadvertently or not. John Wayne is someone who generates a very patriotic, nationalistic feeling, which is not something liberals, in particular liberal lawyers, may appreciate. It would seem that these trademark lawyers are not really working in the best interest of their client, IMO. Every time they curtail any type of JW activity, they are curtailing fan enthusiasm, which of course could ultimately lead to a decline in potential sales. This is a big year, the 100th anniversary of JW's birthday, and finally Wayne Enterprises is on the bandwagon - new website, "new" belt buckle contract with Bohlin's (if you happen to have a spare $2500 lying around), all kinds of sanctioned special items (guns, bullets, knives, and who-knows-what-else). Much of this is going to be so high-priced that the average fan is going to be left in the dust, which could lead to further negated fan enthusiasm. Of course, those who love John Wayne now will still love him, but this could leave a bad taste in folks' mouths. The liberal lawyer would be doing his/her job, curtailing trademark violations, but at the same time, throwing a bucket of cold water on fan enthusiasm. Who is being hurt by these clips being on YouTube? It's not like anybody can watch these things on TV anymore anyway, no royalties are being lost. And if someone was able to come out with a DVD with all these neat clips, we'd probably all buy one - if anything, those clips would whet our appetite for such an item. How frustrating!

Chester :newyear:

Hi All

It does seems extremely petty to do this. If they were to compile a DVD of these clips I would buy one but the possibility of one appearing is a bit like ******* into the wind.

As for guns bullets and knifes and rhinestone belt buckles sorry I am not interested.



Mike

Youtube are not allowed to simply remove clips because John Wayne is in them, this is in complete violation what Youtube is supposed to stand for and it could be result in legal action against 'Youtube' by Wayne Enterprise.

It is rather pathetic that vile videos against John Wayne are allowed to remain but clips of John Wayne are not. Its time to take a stand with the IMDB being infected by trolls, spurious lies being printed on 'Wikimedia' and Dukes videos being removed by 'YouTube' how much more are we going to take?

:agent?

I have to agree, with Jim,
for all the good we do for Duke on
our message board,
those close to him, seem hell bent
on destroying both image and man.

Did everyone notice that they played the theme to "The High and the Mighty" when the Duke entered for his last appearance at the Oscars? The was a cool song.

GSP

Maybe if we publish a list of the vile videos here they might do US a favour and springclean them of You Tube as well.

Someone somewhere makes money everytime an old clip, portion or photo of someone famous appears. It's a sad reality we can't sneeze without in some way having to pay a royality on things of importance. It's one of the reasons so many old classic movies never get released because families are greedy. Reading some of the old posts in this thread, since the church has relaxed it's stance on cremation, maybe they should honor his request now. Even when The Duke died it wasn't really taboo just not something they condoned. I went searching through this one book I have and found an old photo of The Duke at the Oscars. The close-up shows just how bad he was in those last months.

I made this video a while back after I'd made it through the 1930s of Wayne's filmography:


Kain,
Many thanks for posting this interesting video,
and I have taken the liberty of presenting it as a YouTube
rather than just an URL

However may I say the video,
would be better entitled Yakima Canutt's moments,
as indeed most of the footage is Yak
stunting for Duke, switching to Duke in the close ups.

The music does seem inappropriate but then
it only saves itself by being a song mentioning John Wayne.

However this is just my opinion
