Somehow, I’ve never seen this interview video before now, despite it being posted almost ten years ago. From 1977, in France, it’s a surprise in several ways.
First, they’re so young! Which shouldn’t be a surprise, but it is nonetheless. Second, Harrison was a smoker. I didn’t know that. Third, the way Carrie answers questions is something I didn’t know about her.
Producer Gary Kurtz can be seen briefly to the left. The music gets to be too much in spots.
Saul Goodman is out of prison and he’s here to enlighten us! For free!
What makes America great, Saul?
This post from last September is currently receiving more views than any other. Comments for it continue to be submitted for approval.
So, what the heck. I entered a comment on the latest Substack post by the alleged human lifeform who calls himself Oliver Kornetzke.
Last September, on my blog I wondered if you are an AI construct. My site doesn’t get a significant number of views, but that post receives the largest number of them. Why? Because others share my doubts.
The first sentence of your essay here doesn’t sway me from the possibility that I am reading something generated by AI, or at least someone needing help writing and relying upon AI:
[“It’s illegal to sleep in your car but the dealership down the road can leave forty cars idling unsold in a lot for a decade and that’s just “inventory,”]
It is not true that sleeping in your car, in and of itself, is illegal. Car dealers don’t leave cars “idling.” That implies the engines are running. Rather, the cars are sitting idle. No dealer would ever leave a car unsold for a decade.
Based on those nonsensical assertions, I see no point in reading past that opening sentence. So, my question to you is, are you real? If so, where is there some biographical information about you?
If you are inclined to indulge this request, I can provide the link to my post. Or you can simply search for yourself, and look for, “Is This Guy for Real?”
As a former broadcast journalist, I am looking for facts, and seeking to have my doubts confirmed or refuted. Thank you.
Maybe “Oliver” will have some starshine he can share with us.
Of the national TV news journalists, Trump seems to favor Jonathan Karl at ABC. On Friday’s Washington Week, Karl demurred on Jeffrey Goldberg’s request for a comment on the obvious decline in the way Trump expresses himself.
Last night, Booker T. Jones was a soulful, consummate professional, still at the top of his game musically. As well as performing his well-known Booker T. and the M.G.’s hits, he had tributes to Albert King, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan.
The show opened with the M.G.’s #9 1968 hit, a cover of the theme to Hang ‘Em High*. With those first four notes on the organ I smiled and thought, “Yep, that’s the sound.”
Left to right in the photo were Al Jackson (drums), Steve Cropper (guitar), Booker T. Jones (keyboards), Donald “Duck” Dunn (bass).
A highlight of the show for me was ‘Born Under a Bad Sign’, a song Jones wrote for Albert King.
This is King’s original version.
The best known version of ‘Born Under a Bad Sign’ is by Eric Clapton and Cream.
* The leading lady in Hang ‘Em High is Inger Stevens. I’ll take advantage of any excuse to look at Inger Stevens, who died tragically young.
I posted about the green reflecting pool water and Trump wanting to acquire Greenland. Tonight I’ll hear Booker T. Jones performing his hit ‘Green Onions’.
Why stop there? Here are all 13 of the 1966 cartoons starring everybody’s favorite green-skinned marvel.
