due to overdosing on tryptophan.....
but it's been a while since I pulled one out so I'll take it!!

Ronald Wilson Reagan celebrating the Apollo 10 mission.

funnier than "Nancy"
or "Family Circus" for Gods Sake.

BOO!!! We Have a Wiener!!!


Mr. James Patrick Farrell was the first correct answer this week.....
with the one and only Linda Denise Blair.
Or as he calls her....
"Scariest Bitch Ever"!!
Either answer would have been correct.

Which is funny because if I recollect....
both Jim and Mr. Kevin O'Connor never made it through
the whole movie and had to run out several times during their
first screening....all the while, Mr. Yanahan stayed,
laughed and ate all of their popcorn.
For this reason alone.....
I have never seen it...or will.

My Mom has a great story which also affirms my reason never to see it.
Her and my Dad were leaving the late showing of the Exorcist at the old Ford City
Theaters and were walking to their car when all of a sudden all of the power to the mall and parking lot.....went out!!
FFFFFUUUUUUCCKCKCKCKKCKCKCKK!

It gets better.....
When they get home.....
the large 5' x 5' framed art on the living room wall falls off of the wall!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Then.....
Linda Blair was eating grilled cheese sandwiches at our kitchen table....
OK....so maybe I made up that last part but damn.....
Freddie Krueger's
got nothin' on Linda Blair!!

This pic below still gives me the creeps and I haven't seen the movie!!


Anywhooooos......
back to Mz. Blair.

--Big fan of the Lynyrd Skynyrd......attended their funerals.
--Busted for conspiracy to sell Coke a few weeks later.
--Dated Rick James bitch!......what a super freak.
--Has chickens and horses as pets in her home.
--Fluent in Spanish......and in Devil.

Mr. Daniel McNally
(who should be studying)
was this first in this week
with Mr. Motown.....Berry Gordy Jr.


I have a project only a few blocks from here.....
they have daily tours and I may have to
hit it next week when I return.

Paul McCartney visited last year when he toured here.....
and footed the bill to have the original Steinway Grand Piano refurbished.
It had to be put on a train to Steinway's factory in New York for the
year-long project....
it is to be unveiled in a few weeks.

Hard to believe the amount of music that came out of
"Studio A"
which is really just a house.....
Berry used to live upstairs.

Berry is the father of Redfoo
and the Grandfather of Skyblu....
(......go ask your kids!)

Opened in the late 50's through 1972....
started with $800.
It was open 22 hours a day and
closed for 2 hours for maintenance.

Have you ever heard of any of these?


A "few" more songs here.....
must have been a pretty cool block

Ironically.....not one of Randy's favorites.
Barbra is coming out with an album in a few weeks that are older versions
of songs that she has had locked up in a vault until now.
"Release Me"

Not a big Babs fan......
but this take from 1971,
with Randy on piano,
is pretty chilling.
