When we first started as a band we knew we could all sing and we took harmonies from Mayday Parade which doesn’t seem like a good harmony reference but it was for us. We wanted to take harmonies from Mayday Parade and be a guitar playing band.
To be a Jew is an act of the strenuous mind as it stands before the fakeries and lying seductions of the world, saying no and no again as they parade by in all their allure. And to be a writer is to plunge into the parade and become one of the delirious marchers.
I’ve been in some small parades where they have turned down some side street and a few people are sitting on the curb with a ham sandwich and a beer. Waving to them is like walking into a living room and waving.
I emptied the trash and wiped down tables. But my job that I remember the most was picking up horse manure for the Electrical Parade.
To wrap up the idea of ‘Parade’s End’ in a sentence or two, I would say it’s a love story in which we see a man with two women, and we know what’s attractive about them. And we know why and what they feel about him.
I’ll never forget during the ‘Descendants’ parade at Disneyland when I waved at a girl with bright blue hair and witnessed her dream being realized and the involuntary tears that followed.
When the soldiers came home from Vietnam, there were no parades, no celebrations. So they built the Vietnam Memorial for themselves.
Perhaps not unusually for a popular film produced over three decades ago, there have been a dizzying parade of corporate characters trading rights to ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ through the years. Yet our requests for timely statements of the film’s income have been met with a series of slammed doors.
I’m one of those old-fashioned homosexuals, not one of the newfangled ones who are born joining parades.
My feelings are ‘Godspeed, John Glenn.’ But I feel badly that he took a spot away from a young astronaut who had probably waited three or four years for that slot. He’s already had his ticker-tape parade.
Raining on parades requires no skill or effort on the part of a politician.
Well, they had a lot of the things they found in his possession. They had the map, you know, that marked the route of the parade. They had statements from the bus driver and the taxicab driver that hauled him somewhere.
From the start, the promise of Jurgen Klinsmann as manager of the U.S. men’s national team was revolution: gritty, plodding American soccer would give way to attacking flair; the parade of journeymen would end; an era of skilled stylists would begin.
There has long been an argument in New York about what, exactly, the purpose of book awards ought to be. One model sees them as a celebration of the unquestioned best and brightest, a triumphal parade for marquee authors who have published in a given year.
I like parades.
My vision is one of celebrations and banquets, diplomas and banners, rings and parades.
Once I walked out of my house into to the Puerto Rican Day parade. It was usually a five-minute walk to work, but that day it took me a half-hour to get to 30 Rock.
I used to come to the gay pride parades in New York. I’ve been to a few down in Miami Beach, if memory serves.
We were in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. It’s a nice town, but it’s aggressively quaint. They’ve got a popcorn shop above a waterfall and parades that come through town. It’s all-American.
I never even went to Jekyll & Hyde’s restaurant. I loved the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, though.
I saw Mussolini tirelessly contemplate a parade of thousands of young men.
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
I grew up in one of the most socially conservative neighborhoods in Ohio, and my parents were traditional Catholics. But in her old age, my mother got her home health care from a guy who was gay, who was wonderful to her. Before she died, she rode a float in the Cincinnati Gay Pride Parade.
If you’re not in the parade, you watch the parade. That’s life.
I began as a model, but that did not really hold my interest for too long! I believe I stood out from the parade of models trying to make it in Hollywood, which helped launch my career beyond the one-night-stand horror movie.
First CD I bought for myself was ‘The Black Parade’ by My Chemical Romance.
‘I Just Might Pray’ by The David Mayfield Parade has an upbeat tempo without being sugary sweet. ‘I Just Might Pray’ is an enjoyable track and is easily listened to. As a side note, the video for ‘I Just Might Pray’ is absolutely adorable.
I think that now that we are seeing multimedia types of productions with videos and pictures and human beings performing the acts that animals used to perform, such as in Cirque du Soleil and other traveling troops, there is no need to parade animals around anymore in cages for personal gratification.
I have no problem with the Pride parade.
It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.
I’ve never been to a Pride parade.
Easter egg hunts and parades are nothing new to any household or city, however nobody does it better then the Big Apple.
The library was one more essential in the parade of rooms in a big 18th-century house – and part of the required kit ever afterwards. The important thing was to have the books, not actually read them.
I definitely didn’t want to be that person that came out and was like, ‘O.K. I’m going to lead every parade.’
In 1840, William Henry Harrison is the first one to really campaign as a candidate, and the campaigns were totally frivolous. I mean, people were drinking hard cider all day. They were big parades; no one was debating the issues.
You can’t have whatever you want. But to a child who must ask permission for every single thing, adulthood looks like a constant parade of every desire’s satisfaction. It is a heady and terrifying place. It is the Otherworld. It is Fairyland. In fantasy, we make this literal.
I like the ritual, the liturgy of a well-crafted, emotional fashion show. I will never be jaded with this side of fashion. The catwalk is pure anthropology, something like an esoteric encrypted parade. It can totally be replaced but it will be missed.
Actually, I started off playing by ear and being around a bunch of musicians playing in the streets in the different parades.
Our secular culture is adrift in a sea of relativism, escapism, and self-indulgent inanities, with our media and entertainment elites leading the parade.
Parading our own brilliance and exulting in other people’s errors is not very nice. For that matter, even wanting to parade our own brilliance and exult in other people’s errors is not very nice, although it is certainly very human.
I can’t stop being in parades. I just love dancing on floats that move really slowly on the city streets in the early morning.
