Instead we get Brittany and Paris and Mel and Babs....you get the picture *sigh*
I get the picture. I miss "old" Hollywood.

Bing Crosby was the only man able to stare down Chuck Norris and live to tell about it.
(This sounded too much like those Chuch Norris lists that I had to say it) :>)
This may be urban legend but he was a truly marvelous entertainer. My favorite films were "Holiday Inn" and a Connecticut Yankee in King Arhtur's Court!
Are you a 'Zags fan?
Wasn't he born in Tacoma, Washington?
after Pvt Mullin "liberated" a Radio Berlin Magnetophon recorder in 1945, it was Ampex who back engineered it into the magnetic tape recorder using a variation of 3M recording tape. It was the Bingster who first recorded on these machines. It has been said that Bing didn't care for the drive into Hollywood every evening for the live show and for him this new tech absolutely changed his career.
I miss the days when even most liberals in Hollywood were patriots
He was probably wearing his priest costume to get away with that!
I love the On the Road series. Oh, and Christmas would not be complete without the Bells of St. Mary's.
"An Avid golfer he had just completed a round and as he returned to the club house he had a heart attack and died."
I remember hearing that on the radio and going and telling my mother. I thought she was going to pass out from the news.
Bing was great.

Ahhhhhhhh, Jimmy Stewart, what an absolutely classy man. Although I'm not from his generation, I'm really sad that he is gone. These group of people were such a source of American Pride; I get all choked up when I think about it.
Wow, Holy Rosary is not far from where I grew up. The church is still there. Thanks for the info.
Yep
