She’ll always be one of my very favorites, in more movies than I want to even try to remember and list here. And, I definitely do remember the unusual relationship between her and Letterman.
However, the part she played in Young Frankenstein, will forever be my favorite:
Quincy Jones has died
Big hit.
This is a great video with insight into his genius and professionalism
My hope in humanity.
Ukraine.
American Democracy
Former USC coach John Robinson died today at age 89.
Preceded in death by the USC football program.
Some may forget that he coached UNLV from 1999 to 2004. He did a decent job there under difficult circumstances. Also had two tenures at USC.
I had forgotten about both until you reminded me. He was, to say the least, a pretty damned good coach, at least within his era.
Alice Brock, the Alice of “Alice’s Restaurant” passed away at the age of 83. I would have been giving the song a spin this week anyway, but now I’ll do it in her memory.
Alice Brock, whose eatery in western Massachusetts was immortalized as the place where “you can get anything you want” in Arlo Guthrie’s 1967 antiwar song “Alice’s Restaurant,” died on Thursday in Wellfleet, Mass. — just a week before Thanksgiving, the holiday during which the rambling story at the center of the song takes place. She was 83.
In honor of Alice…
Cept for Alice…
Chuck Woolery from Wheel of Fortune fame died age 83
I liked Chuck from the Love Connection, didn’t realize he had a musical career - psychedelic pop and country.
(Why hasn’t anyone done psychedelic country?)
This is as close as I can think of.
I don’t really know country music. But Sturgill Simpson comes to mind… I know he made a lot of waves with stuff like this.
I think of the Byrds as more Psychedelic Folk. Psychedelic Country is a tough one. I don’t really think there are any. Perhaps Commander Cody, or maybe Asleep at the Wheel? But they are both a stretch.
This might fit (one of my very least favorite of Commander Cody’s tunes):
@BamaFanNKY has a few clients that are in country. Colter Wall, being one that I really enjoy. Think Waylon Jennings or Hank Williams Jr style. Some other additions for the outlaw country sub-genre are Moonshine Bandits, or The Lacs. Both of these 2 are kinda hick-hop also.
Does Cowpunk count?
