Everyone enjoys the odd Helter Skelter ride
Well almost everyone.
King George VI, then the Duke of York, going down a Helter Skelter slide at the Wembley Exhibition in London in 1925.

That's a funny dude, Sam and the crew claiming they don't KNOW the man.
5:20 mark from the 305 area code for proof
Good day to be thrifting, better day for good old Oxfam. Strange choice for the cover, not gonna lie.
Dan meeting John Belushi was as most would imagine it - as it was meant to be, he has a way with words. This is not the entire conversation but I don't subscribe to that streaming service. Man, I want to have that man's energy for one day at his age.

That famous interview clip where Kurt talks about reading Patrick Suskind's Perfume, the origin of Scentless Apprentice. As a kid I always thought they were on a big ship for some reason, not a balcony. Kurt bit is about 4 min long - begins at 4:00 and unfortunately isn't brought up again.
Womack's next book will contain O'Dell's exclusive interviews with Maureen Starkey and Linda McCartney.
That's as emotional as Coco has ever been, the Claude Lemieux talk was the trigger I am guessing. Starting to think Gino is a Habs fan, must be 4 or 5 now.
Does this bad haircut victim qualify as a Tiny boi? we may need Jamie to pull it up - ask perplexity
Love these old documentaries, this one was streaming on Prime long ago listed as 2006 but production looks more 1980s. The gold standard is The Compleat Beatles but this isn't half bad, lots of key locations.
​
Join Spencer Leigh on a tour of Liverpool which visits a multitude of Beatle related sites including the childhood homes of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, Strawberry Fields, the Cavern Club, and Penny Lane.
He has been on a few lately, loving it. His Robert Smigel with Letterman and Steve O'Donnell 2 part was great stuff.

This was recorded during the Canes series so a bit of praise for Hutson along with a pinch of worry about how he sometimes puts himself in dangerous waters.

Love the story of the training staff giving him Rocket Richard's too-small shin pads in his first training camp, it never gets old.
a. The pads belonged behind glass
b. Habs recycled old equipment that long?
That's good form, Sir.

Shannon left out the part about the CH buying the league Jean played in to pry him out of Quebec City. They sweetened the pot buying him a new Nash to boot.
​
The Montreal Canadiens famously gifted a showroom-fresh 1951 Nash automobile (the Canadian Statesman de Luxe) to Béliveau on the ice during his final junior season.
100% Hockey had Larry Robinson for 30 minutes today. He spoke of carrying the torch and losing his buddy Claude Lemieux.
The glaring error in the Molson malaise era was waiting too long to raise his #19 to the rafters, it cost him a chance to have his father witness it as he died before they got their scat in one sock.
Not bringing him back to mentor the defence was all on Bergevin. Robby's barn flooded and when he called back after explaining he needed some time he was told his services were no longer required, J. J. Daigneault had the job. St Louis Blues players tipped him as a great teacher especially during the 2019 SC win.
He almost got away with a forgery worthy of a passing grade. First heard him tell this on the Gilbert Gottfried podcast, the only source I can find outside scanning the book page is this clip. Yes, that Schulman fellow is actually Alan.

Alan reads a passage from his book, "The Other Schulman", about passing off Paul Simon's song lyrics as a poetry assignment in school.
Two of my favourite people, they don't make them like these two gents anymore.
What a set, have not caught this in anything better than 3rd generation VHS copies on Usenet. It's 720p here, not sure if it's been upscaled but listed as 1280x720 @30fps on stats page.
That is news to me. Quick search says:
The photo of Roy Orbison included in the fold-out insert of Neil Young's 1975 album Tonight's the Night is an eccentric, surreal Easter egg. Young found the picture on a bootleg cassette and included it simply because he felt bad that Orbison likely did not know the bootleg existed.
And a great final Gally goal call by Pierre Houde to boot.
June 27, 1986, a new start for downtown Brantford?
