When The Replacements' Courage Was at its Peak On their 1984 album ‘Let It Be,’ the Minneapolis indie-rock wastrels spewed a message of working-class passion and outsider solidarity into the world's answering machine.

Thanks so much to GQ for publishing my liner notes for the new Replacements 'Let It Be' boxset, out on Friday. Extra special thanks to Jessica Hopper, Patterson Hood and Brian Paulson for their extraordinary insights. What an absolute joy this project has been to work on. www.gq.com/story/when-t...

Diane Keaton at The Schwab’s Pharmacy counter in 1983.

Farewell to one cinema's greatest legends Can’t believe we’ve lost her. Such a shock. Rest in peace Diane Keaton. “La-dee-da, la-dee-da” forever.

Photo published i Screenland, Feb. 1943. Lupino seated at upright piano, hair up, hands on keyboard, pencil in her teeth, sheets of music in front of her. Photo of her recently deceased father Stanley is on top of the piano.

Ida Lupino songwriting in 1943, while husband Louis Hayward was with the Marines.

“Ida is still putting out songs as regularly as most people put out the cat. She has composed many of them for the RAF in Canada to use in their camp shows, and a special song dedicated to Hayward.”

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.
