Ron Hallowe’evans 🎃 🇨🇦 🆚

That was from one helluva disturbing episode of The Courtship of Eddie’s Father!

I viewed one such film a couple of days ago from 1935 (with the weirdly cheerful title Festive Nuremberg!), and parts of it were coming uncomfortably close to today’s events.

All the What’s In My Bag videos are great!

“I love the smell of photo ops in the morning…they smell like…desperate justification.”

Topsell’s hippo was certainly hungry!

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Okay, we’re both crying.

One Of The Lonely Ones, an album recorded in 1969 but shelved due to personal tragedy & lost until discovered by his family & released in 2015, here’s Roy Orbison with a heartbreakingly beautiful track I Will Always.💔

He was a member of Big Big Train from about 2010-2020.

Thanks. Apart from a few of the early Genesis albums, this is about as close as I get to Prog Rock!

Random 60s Pop Hits!

A goofy track with a cheesy vocal that never fails to make me laugh, here’s Chicago pop idol Ral Donner - She’s Everything (I Wanted You To Be) (7” 45 rpm, 1961). This single inexplicably made it all the way to #12 in ‘61 on the Canadian music charts!

If you must, strip naked and run singing loudly through the hallways of Versailles while hurling sauerkraut at the tourists, but only if you must.

Take 5 minutes out of your day today and just be a silly goose.

You think your pain & your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.

The band’s name always makes me chuckle - the image of one being glacially stomped to death by several small turtles over the course of probably a month or two 😁

acts of pale lover offer up
skyward suggestive illumini
though I’ve never seen
the moon landing between
dusty thighs
of drunken dusk to dawn
