For some inexplicable reason I listened to numerous Oscar speeches on YOUTUBE the other night.
I don’t particularly care for Reese Witherspoon but ended my marathon with her acceptance speech for her performance in “Walk the Line” portraying June Carter.
She ended her breathless, high pitched remarks with a quote from June Carter that was more memorable than all the actresses’ responses of the past twenty years. She quoted June as responding to someone’s query as to how she was doing by saying, “O, you know, just tryin’ to matter.”
Seriously, that statement and sentiment nearly knocked me out.
Give that golden boy to June. On my best day that’s all I’m trying to do, too.
