Still Faye Dunaway's birthday. Here's couple of scans from my film memorabilia collection. A one-sheet from THE HAPPENING, w/Oscar winners Anthony Quinn, Dunaway and writer Frank Pierson, who cowrote it. One of the best '60s films set in the '60s. Also a NETWORK press still with crop marks visible.

On director Joseph Losey's birthday, here's a few scans from my memorabilia collection: THE SLEEPING TIGER (directed under pseudonym due to blacklist), THE SERVANT and MODESTY BLAISE, all w/Dirk Bogarde and the underrated THE GO-BETWEEN w/Julie Christie. Losey directed varied, interesting films.

Remembering the late Alex Chilton on his birthday. Singer at age 16 for The Box Tops ("The Letter) and later singer/songwriter for Big Star ("September Gurls), here's four photos I took in Houston on Nov 9, 1985, when Chilton and his band opened for The Replacements.

Red Sea attacks highlight silliness of #OPEC's "#energy security" talk because energy insecurity is OPEC's business model. Consumers (U.S., EU), since WW2, provide petrostate security for privilege of paying ever higher profit margins for #oil to pay for royals, multiplying population, elites.

Merry Christmas everyone.
I see it's the birthday of singer Annie Lennox. I took this photo in 1983 in the NYC Hilton elevator after the RCA party for the New Music Seminar. I was in from Houston for the alt weekly Public News. The Eurythmics had just become a star act.

Keith Richards talking to saxophone player Bobby Keys at Lone Star Cafe in 1987.

It's Keith Richards 80th birthday & would also have been the 80th of Stones sideman, saxophone player Bobby Keys, a native of Lubbock County, Texas. I took this photo at the Lone Star Cafe in NYC in 1987 at a show with Keys playing with Joe Ely, after Web Wilder opened.

On #BOTD Liv Ullmann's birthday, remembering MINDWALK (1990), filmed on site at the Mont Saint-Michel. Ullmann plays a physicist. John Heard, Sam Waterston & Ione Skye costar in this movie that's a different kind of Capra-corn. #CinemaUnit #LivUllmann
