There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

BOTD: Scott Bradley (1891-1977) who wrote music for the MGM cartoon shorts of the Golden Age.
Bradley was an accomplished composer who felt that music for cartoons was a true art form.
I consider his work equal to that of Carl Stalling, his better known contemporary at Warner Bros

Carl Stalling, BOTD in 1891 (d. 1972).
One of the most innovative and influential film composers that most people have never heard of - because most of his music was written for the cartoon shorts of Walt Disney and Warner Brothers from the 1920s to 1950s.
