So basically 1954-1958? Prior to that was Korea, world wars, the depression. Even in the 60s we had civil rights and segregation issues.
I feel like it’s always a rough journey with some brief smooth patches in between.

Buddies tell me they once (80’s) had a midget tossing contest at a party somewhere near Wrigley Field.

I personally think he never died but just morphed into Nicolas Cage.

The US under Clinton had a pretty great economy and our national debt was incredibly low. Thinking that everyone make a relatively decent living is just rose colored glasses. Poor people have always existed and always will. In 1997 I made $4 an hour. Just saying. Same job, same place now is $20 an hour.

Harry Nilsson was the first artist whose album I listened to on repeat until I had it memorized. I was three or four and the album was The Point.
Which explains a lot about who I am as an adult lol

I know that other people might be objectively hotter, but nothing will ever beat Elizabeth Taylor in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, caked in old age makeup and still managing to turn the sex factor up to 11.

Kind regards. His memory is indeed a blessing.

Who has considered the possibility that Andy , who absolutely lived for and lived the put-on , staged his own premature, sudden , and unlikely death from lung cancer ( he was a non-smoker ) as the ultimate send-up ? He had the money to pull it off . His routines had been getting farther out there and longer lasting ( trans gender wrestling ) and less popular , and this might have been his way of retiring with an untoppable act

It’s interesting to think that all of that was floating in the air flying over countries and across water.

Hey, Jimi Hendrix was the opening band for the Monkees at one time. Unreal.
