The Netherlands has made it to the World Cup final! And it’s July 6th — International Kissing Day. In Flanders, Belgium and the Netherlands it’s called KUSJESDAG! I wonder if there’s a song in Dutch-Flemish about it…. hmm?

On a hot day like today, Purgatory was a cooler place to be! Purgatory Chasm, in Sutton, MA, that is.

Researchers here in Boston claim to have identified genes that indicate who will live a long life. There’s no doubt that actress Gloria Stuart has these genes, because today is her 100th birthday!

The story I recall reading long ago in an old issue of CREEM magazine that I can’t find at the moment went something like this. Debbie Harry was spotted at CBGB’s by some fashion biz type from a slick magazine or a big modeling agency. He walked up to her, handed Debbie his card, and said, “Be there at 10 tomorrow. Name your price.” Debbie, who by then was already nearly thirty, and who had previously worked as a waitress and a Playboy bunny, threw the card away.
Happy 65th birthday to the one and only Debbie Harry, icon and role model, who has my vote as the #1 most important female music talent of her era.

What made them think she could possibly be able to gain access to the private quarters of influential men? Here’s another picture of her I found, training in Russia.
