His first name was Oscar.  He was a great pianist and had a
wonderfully stylistic way of singing popular and jazz songs.
Oscar might have been responsible, but I'm not really sure
of this, for the popularization of *Rhapsody in Blue* by
George Gershwin.  He performed it in concert
and on film.  Oh, he was also in movies and
played, I think, mostly classy drunk artistic musician characters.
Maybe he was only in one movie and that's all I have seen of
him, I don't know.  I really DON'T KNow!  I can only
remember so much so don't be so critical of such trivia!
No, I'm not calling Oscar TRIVIAL!!  There you go again laying
this TRIVIAL bullshit on me again.
I remember Oscar as being one of those artistic, high class,
well dressed and mannered, poor persons.  Not wealthy.
No one ever said Oscar was POOR in the sense of, "Poor
Oscar," because although pitiful he was not to be pitied!
Pity isn't something to argue about and neither is the state
of being pitiful.  Whether or not they are related is not at all
relevant.  He  probably owed money and  was therefore forced to go camping.
There is no reason for you to question this, even if you DO know who Oscar
really is, so just leave this alONE!  My story sooo,
his mother had to pay great sums to allow Oscar to flee.  I think this is
the character he played in that (or those!) movies and not part of his
biography.  Are you intelligent enough to understand THAT without arguing
with me about it?
