LINK "Diana Krall has collaborated with Academy Award winning costume designer, Colleen Atwood and acclaimed photographer, Mark Seliger to create a series of beautiful and striking images for Krall’s new album, “Glad Rag Doll”. They are inspired by Alfred Cheney Johnston’s pictures of the girls of the Ziegfeld Follies taken during the 1920s. Said Krall, “If there was an era to which I could choose to go back in time, it would be the 1920s, just because of the whole wildness of it all.”"

in the 60s, shep did a serious show (all of his shows were serious) about how presidents were becoming tv movie personalities and that presidential elections would be based on who was the best/better tv actor. this was well before ronnie reagan.

"When I want to hear country,. I dig out my Ernest Tubb, my Marty Robbins. Don Williams, Dwight Yoakum and a few others." amen, brother douxy. a few years ago, i listened as a successful nashville country pop song writer listed the criteria for the very specific demographics, words, and types of music the producer-artist types wanted. that stuff is as bland as common beer. it is like using a recipe, sausage grinder, and canned ingredients to make sausage.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! THX. FOR THE AMAZING LINK. JERRY when in san fran in 1966, i heard a radio station carry his nightly's. to some degree, shep was on a network.

http://aloc102.blogspot.com/2012/08/wor-am-has-passed-away.html one of the staples of am radio, WOR-AM, 710 on the dial in nyc, has passed away. to a radio station, being purchased by the conglomerate clear channel is a fate worse than death. john gambling in the morning for near 85 years on the radio is certainly notable. WOR_(AM) history in the late 50s and early 60s, and generations before, radio was once a big factor in our lives. portable radios became popular, and with the advent of the tiny transistor and earphones, they would fit under any pillow. my 2 favorite radio programs were, and still are, monologist humorist jean shepherd's nightly half hour shows in the late 50s -early 60s, on WOR, followed by the midnight to 6am talk show, long john nebel. i have heard 6 hour shows with not 1 commercial interruption. john went down the dial to wnbc, and they cut him up and quartered him. it wasn't the same. they began a tradition with me. to this day, there is always an am radio playing somewhere in the house whenever i go to sleep, but there will never be another jean shepherd, long john nebel, nor wor-am playing. the jean shepherd wor theme. shep was an accomplished kazoo player.

Middle States Commission issues warning " Monday, August 13, 2012 The Middle States Commission on Higher Education notified Penn State President Rodney Erickson on Aug. 8 that it has issued the University an accreditation warning based on information contained in the Freeh Report and the binding consent decree with the NCAA. The commission also stressed that Penn State’s accreditation remains intact. "We must be clear about what this warning means so there are no misunderstandings," said Blannie Bowen, vice provost for academic affairs, who also is the University’s accrediting liaison officer. "This action has nothing to do with the quality of education our students receive. Middle States is focusing on governance, integrity and financial issues related to information in the Freeh report and other items related to our current situation."

Why are all your pictures slightly off-kilter? Is one of your legs shorter than the other? my tripod is a biped. yes, i am currently nursing a sore knee, which is well on the mend.

is the end of football now visible on the horizon? "While the American public is willing to put up with any number of sports-related scandals with respect to gambling, and athlete conduct, the idea that football players are permanently injuring themselves in horrible and mystifying ways might be too much to take."

thanks for the perspective. how many truly have hearing capable of appreciating the nuances, when they exist? these 70 year old ears certainly cannot. then there is that pervasive earbud/cd/mp3 culture.........
