Duet with Burton was my first jazz album, which I picked up on a whim, when I saw it in a bargain bin. Never looked back. Thanks Chick. RIP.

As a kid, I had no problem accepting the second Darren on Bewitched. Or the second Mrs. Kravitz. Or the second Louise Tate. (Three recasting in one show! Is that a record?)

My fave British monikers are Tuppence Middleton and Honeysuckle Weeks.

Van used to cover a Mose Allison tune, the lyrics of which now seem apropos: “Your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime”.

R.I.P. Hugh. He always had this strange quality of being both grandiloquent and grungy at the same time. (Nitpick: Stone came out in 1974, not  ’79).

Imagine if Biden packed the court with Obama and Hilary. And, what the hell, Elizabeth Warren, as well. The alt-right are always going on about ‘owning the libs’, why not give them something to really howl about.

I guess I can understand where he’s coming from. Celebrities can be tiresome when they get political. Probably, the less we know about them personally, the better.

*sigh* Now I have the millionth reason I wish Bowie was still around. He’d have something witty to say, I’m sure. After all he shot the cover of The Man Who Sold the World, nearly 50 years ago.

The Trump character was amazingly creepy. Incredible performance. If he doesn’t win the Emmy, the awards are fixed!

Sunday morning here in Australia. Great news to wake up to. I was starting to think Biden would be stuck on 264 forever. I’ve heard some people describe this as a glacial victory, rather than a landslide.

A Hard Day’s Night (1964). An admitted cash grab, rushed into cinemas before the whole Beatles craze evaporated, turns into one of the best musicals ever made. Both a time capsule and timeless. For me, a guaranteed good time, every time.

That judge knows there’s no such thing as a Sanity Clause !

Hmmm, the Eiffel Tower is 300 metres high and the Channel Tunnel is 50,000 metres long. So that kid was either insulting his girlfriend or admitting to his own shortcomings.

The big white one goes over the little red hat, right?

Vito Corleone.

There have been a few mornings when I’ve wished I could de-fuck-ify myself.

Hey, I like all those movies! I’m surprised, there’s usually at least one clinker on these lists. Best year so far?

And a year after the Scott Peterson movie there was, Amber Frey : Witness for the Prosecution, starring Janel Moloney in the title role.

The son of Tom Joad, rides off down the road. Vaya con Dios, Wyatt.

Heh heh - your description sounds like a recommendation to me! In fact, I think I’ll re-watch Waves, maybe in a double bill with another Tony Curtis “classic”, Sex and the Single Girl. Featuring Natalie Wood as Helen Gurley Brown, plus Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall and Edward Everett Horton!! And a co-writing credit…
