42nd Street. The mother musical of uncounted others.

Hollywood Hotel. Musicals from the 1930s seem to have a unique feel to them, a "rough-and-ready" atmosphere, that the more polished ones from the 50s lack. I always found the opening sequence to Hollywood Hotel very weird and bizarre.

Varsity Show. Some fluffy, fluff, fluff is always worthwhile.

The truth!

Sometimes I just wonder how MLB makes any money, it's the higher paid players that are the ones people want to see, not the utility players of the world. Great way to go into negotiations for a new CBA, piss off the money players.

Murder, My Sweet. I love this movie so much, and it's too bad that is was Anne Shirley's last picture, she was outstanding.

Sorry, in the dim recesses of the past, I thought I semi-remembered that you were working on a philosophy degree.

Paradise Lost: A Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald by David S. Brown. I've started to read this biography side-by-side while reading Fitzgerald's fiction, never realized he was such a fascinating figure, learn something new every day!

How did someone with a philosophy degree wind up being a producer? That's a different combination!

Prayers fro her and the family

Definitely one of the most enjoyable reading experiences I've had in a long time. Now on to Fitzgerald's next book Flappers and Philosophers

Mnytime, Ed Swinnich & Jazzmoose on the same thread. That was long ago... I miss them all.

Happy Birthday!

This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald. For some reason, I find myself returning more and more to Fitzgerald, who I tended to ignore in my callous youth.

Interesting article, thanks for posting. I always tend to be on the side of the players when it comes to money. Professional careers tend to be short, and especially in the NFL, brutal, so get the money while you can, because for 90% of the players, there won't be that much left after a career is over.

Honestly, the protocols being proposed are unworkable for a baseball game; for one thing, who is going to watch over and certify that the protocols are being followed? The home team? MLB? Union rep? Someone from the outside? I don't see how any sport is going to be played.

Why Was I Born

Happy birthday!

Sad to hear this, Pretty Things are one of my go to bands to listen to. RIP

Farrago. A messy, confused mixture or conglomeration. Well, I never heard this one before.

Listening to this and it's great. Thanks for the rec!

I don't get if the general public still needs to be six feet apart for safety reasons in the next couple of months, at the minimum, how players in the NBA, NFL, and MLB are going to be safe, along with their families. I know these players are in great shape, but still, young people do die from the virus. Maybe I'm missing something in all the different scenarios I'm hearing...

I love watching sports also, but given the uncertainty about even basic matters concerning the virus, I think it sports should shut down the rest of the year, that might mean even the SEC!
